Chapter 261 A Bizzare And Absurd Talk
Everyone looked at Murong Yunxi. They could already guess that the important announcement that Murong Ye had mentioned was related to her.
There were actually not many directors in the Murong Family. Among the directors seated below, other than a few seniors who followed after Murong Qingtian, the rest were only four people: Murong Haotian, Murong Chengtian, Murong Lanxi and Murong Lanxia.
They also accounted for a small portion of the distribution of shares in the Murong Family. The few outsiders accounted for a mere total of 10% of the shares. Of course, this seemingly small number of shares could not be considered a small amount outside. It might even be much more than the total number of shares of a huge company. The other 30% was allocated to Murong Haotian and the rest. Murong Haotian and Murong Chengtian accounted for 10% respectively, while Mu Lanxi and Murong Lanxi accounted for 5% respectively. The real big deal was Murong Qingtian, who accounted for 40%. Murong Ye only owned 12%, and only 8% was dispersed outside.
Therefore, among the people present there today, Murong Ye could be considered one of the people who owned the most shares and also the one with the greatest right to speak.
Murong Ye exuded his usual cold aura. It seemed that this was the fixed temperament that he had on the outside, so everyone was already accustomed to it.
Murong Ye’s cold gaze scanned around everyone once again before he said coolly, “Everyone is aware that 8% of our shares have always been dispersed outside. Now, in order for the Murong Family to develop better, we have already regrouped this portion of shares. These shares are currently unified and will be entirely owned by Murong Yunxi.”
Murong Ye’s words created an uproar among the crowd present. No one understood Murong Yunxi. In their eyes, she was merely a witless young girl who was still wet behind the ears. Furthermore, she was also a child who had been lost for many years and grown up in an ordinary family. People like them, who were either nobilities or had been wealthy for generations, found this inevitably a big joke.
Director Wu was the most qualified elderly who had worked for Murong Qingtian. Thus, he was also the first to express his displeasure now. “Big Master Murong, isn’t it too rash and sloppy of you to do something like this? While the Young Miss is a Chairman Murong’s biological daughter, ultimately, she was lost for all these years. When it comes to an important meeting like the board of directors, shouldn’t you have considered this better? Although she is a genuine Young Miss, she is still too young.”
Murong Ye’s eyes inevitably turned colder. “Director Wu, I am also very young compared to everyone else.”
Director Yang, who was beside Director Wu, also spoke out with some displeasure. “Big Master, while you are young, we have seen all your achievements over the years, so we genuinely acknowledge your ability!”
“Oh, so you mean that all of you do not acknowledge Xiao Xi?” Murong Ye’s piercing gaze turned sharply towards Director Yang, making Director Yang’s heart jump. He almost had a heart attack.
“I know that Xiao Xi just returned and you do not understand her. However, her ability is not beneath me, and this decision was also made after my father’s careful deliberation. The Murong Family could be considered a commercial empire that my father built single-handedly. He certainly would not joke about its future.”
Director Xie burst out into laughter and said with a hint of disdain, “How could he say that he is not joking when he is now letting a witless young girl who is still wet behind the ears be a director? I am dying from laughter.”
The four siblings, including Murong Haotian, knew that Murong Qingtian and Murong Ye doted on Murong Yunxi, so they remained silent. They merely watched the few old geezers before them put up an act. However, while they did not comment, this did not mean that they acknowledged this. Their children were also very outstanding, but they had not gotten a single share from the Murong Family. Now, Murong Qingtian had actually allowed Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi to take 20% of the shares. How could they acknowledge this?
Murong Ye spoke again in his ice-cold voice. “Director Xie, aren’t your words too subjective? Xiao Xi has merely entered the Murong Family and begun to take care of the family’s business for slightly more than six months. Although this time is short, almost none of the companies that she managed experienced a reduction in efficiency or profits. Instead, they experienced growth.”
Director Wu sneered, “Haha! Between the current assets of the Murong Family, I think that we will not experience a drop in efficiency and profits even if we take any of the companies and hand it over to an idiot to manage. Who does not know that the Murong Family’s assets are already very mature? Even if you closed your eyes, you could also manage it smoothly.”
Director Yang spoke right after him. “That’s right. You still have the cheek to consider those your achievements and bring them up.”
Director Xie’s words seemed to be even sharper. He looked at Murong Yunxi sarcastically. “You were merely reincarnated into a better family than others. You’re a little girl who has been living uneducated on the outside for many years. To think that you actually had the cheek to accept such a big plate of responsibilities! Beware, or you will suffer from indigestion.”
The words of the three directors made Murong Ye’s expression turn increasingly ugly. They usually did not dare disobey Murong Ye’s instructions because they were also afraid of him. However, now that they faced Murong Yunxi, they did not know where they found such a great sense of courage.
Murong Ye sneaked a peek at the four siblings, including Murong Haotian. While the few of them did not speak, the upturned corners of their lips betrayed them. Only Murong Lanxia seemed to maintain an unconcerned attitude while he fiddled with his cell phone.
Naturally, things became clear at one glance. Murong Lanxia never participated in this matter or voiced out her opinion. She was always obsessed with her own artistic creations and never participated or voiced out her opinion about the family business. She always had an unconcerned attitude, and she also did now. However, Murong Haotian, Murong Chengtian and Murong Lanxi seemed to act differently. It was obvious that they were unconvinced but merely did not dare express themselves directly. Director Wu, Director Yang and Director Xie were naturally instructed by them. Thus, they dared to voice their personal opinions arrogantly that day.
Murong Ye’s cold pupils hovered between the three directors. “Oh? This matter was already decided by the Chairman. Are the three directors dissatisfied? If you are, you can let go of your shares and walk out of this door. As far as the share allocation is concerned, the Murong Family naturally will not treat you shabbily. We will buy back these shares at a price higher than the market price. The three of you naturally will not lose out.”
These words made the three of them turn silent. What a joke! Transfer of shares? Only a fool would do this. Everyone knew that the Murong Family’s shares multiplied every year, so not even a fool would give them up now.
Murong Haotian’s gaze sharpened slightly and he shot a look of slight displeasure at Murong Ye.
Murong Yunxi remained silent throughout this. Although Murong Night could temporarily suppress these people at the moment, this did not mean that they were really convinced. Thus, she would certainly not let things slide. She wanted to be treated with complete awe and veneration by everyone.
Murong Yunxi cleared her throat and said in a deep, cold voice, “I know that all the directors present might not be convinced by me, but it does not matter. I don’t actually care if you are convinced or not.”
When Murong Yunxi said this, she caused an uproar among the crowd once again. Even Murong Ye turned and looked at her in displeasure, as if to say that she was degrading herself.
Murong Yunxi returned Murong Ye’s gaze nonchalantly. The corners of her lips curled up with a hint of a smile as she added, “However, I want to ask all of you a few questions. Firstly, does anyone know what is the daily growth of the efficiency and profits of the Murong Family?”
Director Wu replied mindlessly, “The annual efficiency and profit grew by 180% last year. It is the greatest growth the company has experienced during the past few years.”
Murong Yunxi looked slightly indifferent as she asked, “Do you think it would be possible for the company to grow by 300% within a day?”
Director Xie let out a snort of contempt and replied sarcastically, “Clearly, you are not a professional. How would it be possible for it to grow so significantly within a day? Even if a major event led to its growth, such an exaggerated growth would still be impossible, as the Murong Family’s assets are already very stable. It is impossible for an enterprise like this, which is already classified as stable, to experience significant rapid growth.”
Director Wu also chimed in. “Hey, young people these days speak carelessly and think in completely unrealistic ways. Can’t you allow them to be young and frivolous?”
Even Murong Ye felt that Murong Yunxi’s words lacked consideration, so he could not help but look at Murong Yunxi unhappily.
Murong Haotian and Murong Chengtian exchanged a look. The meaning behind the unspoken words was already clear in their eyes.
Finally, Murong Lanxi could not endure this any further and said with a smile, “Xiao Xi, don’t joke around here. I am your aunt. I can treat you as a child who spoke mindlessly and not take this seriously, but other people are different. These few shareholders are not parents who indulge their children. They are not obligated to humor you and play with you. We are not children playing house.”
Murong Haotian instantly erupted into laughter. He turned and took one glance at Murong Lanxi. He was close to giving her a thumbs-up.
Murong Yunxi completely ignored their mockery and continued to speak with a smile. “In that case, if I managed to achieve this, would you be willing to let me take the position of the next director?”
Director Wu smiled and said, “Of course. If you have the ability, besides the position of a director, we would even directly give you the position of the chairman without another word.”
Director Yang also said, “That’s right. If you have the capability, I will acknowledge any further decisions.”
Director Xie nodded with a mocking look in his eyes. “Me too. If you really achieved this, I would be willing to give you 4% of the shares I have on hand.”
When Murong Yun heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened and she hurriedly asked, “Director Xie, are you being serious?”
Director Xie, who did not believe that Murong Yunxi could achieve this, sounded exceptionally full of himself. “Of course. If you achieve it, I will stop being indecisive and sign an immediate transfer to you.”
Murong Yunxi laughed heartily. “Great! That’s a promise then, Director Xie!”
Director Xie glanced sideways at Murong Yunxi as if she was speaking about something bizarre and absurd.
“Everyone present will testify to this then!”
Director Xie, who seemed to have thought of something suddenly, hurriedly said, “If you can’t achieve it, you’ll have to transfer half of the shares in your hand to me then?”
