"It seems your cousin's legal awareness needs to be strengthened," Di Mingjue said, having lost all patience with his unchanging attitude even in his current predicament.
Before coming to the conference room, he had instructed Shen Lin to contact their third uncle. He invited him to the company under his name.
By now, he should have arrived.
Hiding outside the conference room, Di Ruihe heard hurried footsteps. Turning around, he saw his third uncle approaching.
Adopting a posture of knocking, Di Ruihe greeted his third uncle, "Third Uncle, why are you here?"
"Is Di Mingjue inside?" the third uncle asked.
"Yes, Di Dongsheng is also here," Di Dongsheng replied.
Without waiting for him to speak again, the third uncle pushed the door open and entered.
While everyone's attention was elsewhere, Di Ruihe found an inconspicuous seat.
"Speak, why did you call this old bone here?" the third uncle asked, standing before a chair.
The issues from the last shareholder meeting had yet to be resolved. If it hadn't been for the phone call stating that Di Mingjue's people were calling, the third uncle would not have come.
Di Dongsheng glanced at Di Mingjue and then introduced Jiang Wenbin, who was opposite him, "Third Uncle, this is President Jiang from the Jiang Corporation."
Having met him at previous business gatherings, the third uncle was no stranger to Jiang Wenbin. Especially among their generation, they all knew how the Jiang Corporation had risen.
"Mingjue, you speak," the third uncle urged impatiently.
He was the one who had been called, and he wouldn't stand for being toyed with after coming.
Di Mingjue gave a look, and Shen Lin, standing beside him, immediately connected his phone to the conference room's large screen. Although the screen was blank, a continuous stream of voices emanated from it.
Everything Di Dongsheng had been doing recently was encapsulated in this short conversation.
The third uncle's face turned furious. He had explicitly warned Di Dongsheng not to act rashly, to think calmly before making decisions. He had said this a hundred times, but Di Dongsheng hadn't heeded a single word.
"You called me here just to make me listen to this?" the third uncle's tone was harsh.
Di Mingjue shook his head. Shen Lin, who was beside him, left the conference room.
"Don't rush, Third Uncle, there's a more significant reveal," Di Mingjue said with a knowing smile.
Shen Lin's departure piqued everyone's curiosity, including Di Dongsheng, who was directly involved.
What else could he possibly find besides the company seal? Di Dongsheng considered himself meticulous in his work and couldn't fathom how Di Mingjue knew everything he had done. xxs壹贰
This time, Shen Lin didn't bring people but a stack of files.
"Third Uncle, please take a look," Di Mingjue invited. "Everyone can take a look."
The densely packed small print on the files made one dizzy.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Ziyu picked up one. The one in her hand was about Di Jue Group's accounts in recent years. The figures were circled in red, indicating problems.
She craned her neck to look at what others were holding; the content was similar to hers.
"What do you mean by making me look at these?" the third uncle asked, enraged.
As he was getting older, he didn't want to be bothered with trivial matters.
"While I was in a coma for these three years, the company was managed by Dongsheng. The profits brought by projects and the expenses for each project are all here. I don't need to explain; everyone can see that the accounts have serious problems."
"For example, last year the company had a profit of three billion, and shareholders could take one-third of that. While Dongsheng managed the company, fabricated ledgers piled up, and shareholders' dividends were halved."
Di Mingjue recounted calmly.
The third uncle's expression shifted from anger to shock. He looked at Di Dongsheng in disbelief.
"Third Uncle, let me explain. He's lying. He was a vegetative patient in bed for three years; how could he possibly know the company's profits over these three years?" Di Dongsheng tried desperately to explain and prove himself.
