Chapter 1487 - 1486:
Li Zixia wants to take back the shares that rightfully belong to her!
These shares originally belonged to her father, Li Huashan. After Li Huashan’s death, according to the succession order, they were inherited by Li Zixia.
However, because Li Zixia was previously missing, Li Jianshui became the caretaker of her assets. Unless Li Zixia was declared legally dead, Li Jianshui could not inherit the assets.
Now that Li Zixia has returned and is no longer missing, Li Jianshui, the caretaker, should return the shares.
"Uncle, you’ve worked hard this past year. Now that I’m back, you can return the shares to me. According to the law, you need to transfer the shares as soon as possible and provide a detailed report of your management during your period of caretaking," Li Zixia said. "Uncle, is there any problem with that?"
Everyone was looking at Li Jianshui.
Li Jianshui could hardly refuse, and in fact, he had no way to refuse because it was a legal requirement. When a missing person returns, he must exchange the assets.
The only thing Li Jianshui could do was to delay.
"Hehe, naturally, that’s what should be done. However, right now, the court is closed for the day. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take care of it." Li Jianshui said.
Li Zixia said, "No need, I’ve already arranged for a lawyer to handle it. Uncle, you just need to sign."
In Yun City, Feng Ruolan had introduced a lawyer to Li Zixia, the lawyer from Ruofan Capital, precisely from Xingquan Law Firm. First, Lin Fan holds shares in Xingquan, and second, Xingquan is also one of the best law firms in the country.
The lawyer from Xingquan quickly handled the share transfer procedures.
While speaking, Li Zixia took out a document and placed it in front of Li Jianshui.
Li Jianshui felt a chill in his heart, not expecting to be cornered by Li Zixia.
"Hehe, of course, of course," Li Jianshui chuckled, "It’s just...Zixia, do you really need to be in such a hurry?"
Li Zixia replied, "I am indeed in a hurry, but I’m not targeting you, uncle. I hope you don’t misunderstand. The company is at this critical juncture, and I need to get it back on track as soon as possible."
Li Jianshui said, "You keep saying you want to get the company back on track. Isn’t that just blaming me for not doing well? I’ve already said, the company being in this state isn’t my fault. I’ve done my best, with a clear conscience. Your words are really disheartening, extremely unkind."
Li Zixia knew Li Jianshui wouldn’t give in easily, and she couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted.
"Uncle, just sign it quickly, let’s save ourselves some trouble. I don’t want to say more, as long as you sign, I won’t hold it against you," Li Zixia said.
Upon hearing this, Li Jianshui became agitated: "You girl, what do you mean by that? What are you holding against me? Are you even being fair? Who was helping the Li Family over the past year? Your father’s body hadn’t even grown cold, and you disappeared, wasn’t I the one handling things? When the company was in chaos, wasn’t I the one tasked with saving it? Even if I have no accomplishments, I’ve worked hard. Your words are completely ungrateful, isn’t that right, everyone?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Jianshui with a bit of sympathy. Sure enough, Li Zixia came back and immediately fought for power, which did seem a bit ungrateful.
This was all within Li Zixia’s expectations. She had to reclaim control of the company. Li Jianshui wouldn’t give in easily, and the only tactic he had was playing the sympathy card, which was now unfolding right in front of everyone’s eyes.
"Everyone, I’ve already said this, I’m not targeting uncle. It’s just to get the company back to prosperity as soon as possible. I’m sure everyone has had enough of the company’s current situation. Now is not the time to be sentimental. I’m not being unkind, I’m just trying to get the company out of its slump as quickly as possible. I hope everyone understands," Li Zixia said.
Chen Jianhao said, "I agree with the young lady. Since the young lady is back, reclaiming the shares is only natural. I believe that once she takes power, her impact on the company will be positive. I also hope the young lady can take power as soon as possible. This past year has been enough to prove that President Li is not suitable for this position. President Li, don’t tell me you’re reluctant to step down?"
Li Jianshui retorted angrily, "Don’t talk nonsense. Am I that kind of person? I just feel that Zixia came back and immediately wanted to seize power, which is too disheartening. When I was helping take care of your father’s affairs, where were you? Oh right, you haven’t said where you’ve been this past year! Why don’t you explain to us where you went? I’m now suspicious that you have something to do with your father’s death!"
Everyone looked at Li Zixia because they all had the same question, what exactly had happened to her.
Li Zixia said, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Do you think if I had done something illegal, I would dare to come back now? Don’t slander me. Don’t think that by doing so, you can avoid returning the shares."
Li Jianshui said, "I’m not unwilling to return them. I just want to figure out what happened. After all, it’s for the company! I believe everyone wants to know!"
Li Zixia said, "Regarding my father’s case, I will explain the details to the police later. For now, I can only briefly say that my father was killed by an enemy. At that time, I had already left the country. After learning about my father’s murder, I could only hide my identity. Now that the enemy problem has been resolved, I’ve returned."
What?
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. They had just learned that Li Huashan’s death was the result of a vendetta!
Li Zixia said, "Uncle, now that you know, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Li Jianshui was at a loss for words.
Li Zixia said, "There are some things I didn’t want to say. Uncle, I’ve learned from the lawyer that you’ve applied more than once to declare me legally dead. Is this true?"
What?
Such a thing actually happened?
Everyone looked at Li Jianshui in disbelief.
Li Jianshui’s face was red with embarrassment: "Zixia, don’t misunderstand, I never did such a thing!"
Li Zixia said, "I understand what uncle means. If I was declared legally dead, you would become the heir to the estate and officially inherit the shares. So you tried every means to apply for my declaration of death. You just didn’t have sufficient evidence, so the court repeatedly rejected it. Do I need to present the evidence?"
Chen Jianhao shook his head and said, "President Li, this is really unkind. The young lady was only missing, and you applied for her death. What were you thinking, it’s easy to guess. This explains why you refuse to sign."
Li Zixia said, "You just kept saying you wouldn’t abandon me, but in actuality, you couldn’t wait for me to die. So, instead of listening to what someone says, look at what they’ve done. Was your behavior really for the good of the company, or for yourself?"
"Everyone, we already have a unanimous view. Selling the company is to save it. Do you dare to believe that uncle shares this sentiment? Uncle wants to seize my shares just for the money. Given the company’s current situation, what would benefit him the most? If I’m not mistaken, before I came in, he was persuading everyone to cash in one last time, right? Do you dare to believe that his interests align with ours?" Li Zixia said.
Everyone remained silent.
Li Zixia said, "Whether uncle signs or not doesn’t matter. The decision of who the company will be sold to ultimately depends on the shareholder vote. I see no need to wait until tomorrow. We can vote right now."
