Chapter 1488 - 1487
Li Jianshui’s face changed, Li Zixia had completely taken control now, bringing out his application to the court to declare her dead. At this time, the shareholders would definitely listen to Li Zixia, and with her calling for a vote, he was at a disadvantage!
Now that Li Zixia had returned, as the property agent, he had to hand over the property, even if he refused to sign now, this outcome couldn’t be changed.
The most important thing now, contrary to the shares, was the upcoming vote. If the shareholders decided to sell the company to Mortal, he would have no hope left.
"Zixia, we’re family, there’s no need for us to fall out. I did apply to the court to declare your death, but that wasn’t because I was heartless or trying to get something, it was for the sake of the company. After all, you were missing, and in the worst-case scenario, you might have been dead. If I could formally inherit the shares, I could manage the company better. But it’s useless to talk about this now. You’ve returned, so I should return the shares to you. I can sign now, but I have one condition," Li Jianshui said.
Li Zixia asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Jianshui said, "I hope everyone can go back and think it over carefully and vote tomorrow. If you agree, I’ll sign now."
Li Zixia didn’t hesitate, "Okay!"
She remembered Feng Ruolan’s words to first regain control of the company.
Li Jianshui saw Li Zixia agree and didn’t struggle further, obediently signing and transferring the shares.
Li Zixia immediately announced, "I have inherited my father’s shares and am now the company’s largest shareholder. Tomorrow, I will officially assume the position of the group’s chairman. Please attend the meeting tomorrow at 9 a.m. so we can decide the company’s future together."
Chen Jianhao was the first to stand up and applaud, "Great, congratulations, Miss!"
The other shareholders also applauded.
Li Jianshui reluctantly applauded, his expression intriguing, with mixed thoughts unknown to anyone.
Li Zixia looked at Li Jianshui, "Uncle, tomorrow I expect to see a custody report. Please prepare it tonight."
Li Jianshui nodded, "I will."
Li Zixia said, "Alright, it’s getting late, everyone go home and come back tomorrow."
The shareholders stood up one after another and left.
Soon, only Li Jianshui and Li Zixia were left in the meeting room.
Li Jianshui chuckled, "Zixia, why don’t you come over to my house for dinner tonight? Your younger siblings miss you; they’d be very happy to see you."
Li Zixia said, "No, I’ll come another day. It’s been so long; I want to go home first."
"This..." Li Jianshui looked slightly awkward for a moment but quickly returned to normal, smiling, "Alright, I won’t insist."
Li Zixia felt that Li Jianshui seemed a bit strange but didn’t pursue it further.
In the end, Li Zixia left the company and hurried back to her own home.
Li Zixia’s mother had fallen ill and died when she was still young, leaving her to rely on her father, Li Huashan, emotionally. Li Huashan never remarried because he feared a new wife might not treat Li Zixia well.
It’s fair to say that Li Zixia was Li Huashan’s life; he cherished her dearly.
This explains why, upon hearing that a rich second generation planned to violate Li Zixia, Li Huashan was so furious and personally taught that rich second generation a lesson. How could he tolerate his beloved daughter being bullied!
Thinking about her father’s death, ultimately because of her, Li Zixia couldn’t help but tear up.
Her father was gone now, and what she wanted most was to return home, the only place she could still feel his presence.
However...
When Li Zixia returned to her home, she was shocked to find the lights on inside, and people moving around that she could see through the window!
Stunned, Li Zixia walked up and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a housewife in an apron opened it, looking curiously at Li Zixia, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
Li Zixia didn’t know this woman, and this woman didn’t know Li Zixia either.
It turned out that strangers had moved into her house.
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?" Li Zixia asked.
The housewife frowned slightly, "Yes, why? Who are you?"
The woman’s tone had changed, sensing that this stranger, Li Zixia, might have bad intentions.
Li Zixia asked, "When did you buy this house?"
The woman replied, "About half a year ago. Who exactly are you?"
Li Zixia bitterly smiled, now understanding why Li Jianshui had that odd expression when she said she wanted to go home. He had taken it upon himself to sell her house.
Li Zixia was furious and speechless.
Her home was gone just like that. This house had changed hands, and strangers lived inside. She could no longer feel her father’s presence there.
"It’s nothing, sorry to have bothered you," Li Zixia apologized and left.
If she had explained the situation to the housewife, perhaps the woman would have taken pity on her, invited her inside, or even offered her a meal.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Through this incident, she became more resolute; the past was gone, and it was time to look forward.
Ring ring ring...
Suddenly, Li Zixia’s phone rang. It was a call from Lin Fan!
Thrilled, Li Zixia quickly answered.
"I’m in Hang City now. Where are you? I’ll come to find you," Lin Fan said.
Li Zixia was overjoyed; right now, only Lin Fan could make her happy.
"I’m near my house. I’ll send you my location, come over," Li Zixia said.
Before she returned to the country, Lin Fan had agreed with her: Li Zixia would return first to handle company affairs, and when Lin Fan returned, he’d come straight to Hang City to meet her.
Lin Fan intended to complete a system task quickly—to acquire Jinyu Group.
This was also why Lin Fan wanted Li Zixia to return first.
Although Lin Fan hadn’t returned to the country yet, he had Feng Ruolan and Xingquan Law Firm there. According to his plan, they were enough to help Li Zixia regain control of Jinyu Group.
Meanwhile.
Li Jianshui was also on the phone.
He was talking to Wei Jiansheng.
"Mr. Wei, there’s been a situation. I’m afraid we can’t sell the company to Wangu as planned," Li Jianshui sighed.
Unhappy, Wei Jiansheng replied, "President Li, what do you mean? Didn’t we have an agreement?"
Li Jianshui quickly said, "Mr. Wei, please don’t be upset. I’m helpless in this matter. Who could have known that at this crucial moment, Li Zixia would return?"
Wei Jiansheng responded, "Oh, Li Zixia, Li Huashan’s daughter?"
Li Jianshui said, "Exactly, as soon as this young lady returned, she fought me for control. I had no choice but to sign over the shares to her. She’s determined to sell the company to Mortal! The shareholders will vote tomorrow to decide. Mr. Wei, I’m afraid I can no longer make decisions with the shares I hold."
Wei Jiansheng asked, "Didn’t you say she was already dead? How did she come back suddenly?"
Li Jianshui answered, "I don’t know either. From what she said, it seems to have something to do with Lin Fan!"
"What?" Wei Jiansheng’s face changed, "It’s that Lin Fan again!"
Li Jianshui could tell Mr. Wei was displeased from his tone, scared into silence.
Wei Jiansheng coldly said, "I do wish that Li Zixia were dead, President Li. You understand what I mean, right?"
