Chapter 54 Dividing Shares
"Taxi....taxi...."
"Taxi!"
Yan Mingyu ran towards the main street and, amidst the ceaseless flow of traffic, stretched out her arms and forcibly stopped a taxi.
"Ms. Yan!"
Qin Yu hurriedly followed her.
"Hey? What's the matter with you?"
The taxi driver stuck his head out, very dissatisfied. This was a no-parking zone, and having been forced to stop by Yan Mingyu could result in a fine and points deducted if caught on camera.
"Sorry, driver, we are facing an emergency. Whatever the loss, it's on us; we will compensate. Please help us, please!"
Qin Yu, supporting a staggering Yan Mingyu, kept speaking kindly to the taxi driver.
"Alright, get in!"
The taxi driver nodded and unlocked the doors.
"Ms. Yan, where to?"
Qin Yu, helping Yan Mingyu, sat down with her in the back seat.
"The...Hai Kang Hospital!"
Yan Mingyu's voice was hoarse, her lips trembling, indicating that her emotions were on the brink of collapse.
Because her only relative, the grandfather who loved her most,
was critically ill!
"Okay, driver, to Hai Kang Hospital. Please go as fast as you can!"
Qin Yu said to the taxi driver.
"I'll try!"
The taxi driver said, then pushed the gear lever, and the car shot off.
"Ms. Yan, here, take a sip of water!"
Qin Yu twisted open a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Yan Mingyu.
Seeing her lost and desolate, he couldn't help feeling some heartache.
This woman was his wife, after all!
"Gulp..."
Yan Mingyu took the water, drank a couple of sips, and her emotions stabilized a bit. Her eyes, red-rimmed, glanced at Qin Yu, "Thank you."
"No need to be polite, Ms. Yan!"
Qin Yu waved his hand and then asked, "What happened?"
"My...grandfather...is in the emergency room for resuscitation..."
Yan Mingyu said, as tears started flowing again.
Ever since she could remember, her parents were either fighting or separated, and it was nearly all her grandfather who had raised her.
Now that her grandfather was critically ill, how could she not be anxious or distressed?
"Ms. Yan, good people are protected by heaven; your grandfather will surely be fine!"
Qin Yu comforted her softly.
If it hadn't been for picking up this old man on the street back then, he might not have had this marriage with the beautiful boss.
In a way, he should really thank Old Yang.
And he sincerely hoped he would be alright.
"Yeah!"
Yan Mingyu clenched her teeth, her heart still in turmoil.
Half an hour later.
Hai Kang Hospital.
Invested by the Four Seas Corporation, aside from the Yan family, it offered free medical care to all employees of the Four Seas Corporation.
This was the scale of Four Seas Corporation.
It made it the most renowned enterprise in East Sea, and even in Jiangchuan Province.
"Qin Yu, you pay the fare. I'll go ahead!"
Yan Mingyu opened the car door, clutching her purse, and rushed into the hospital entrance.
"Driver, how much is the total?"
Qin Yu also got out of the cab and asked the taxi driver.
"The fare is eighty, but you stopped in a no-parking zone, not sure if there will be a fine. I have to call the traffic police to check."
The taxi driver said.
"Fine, if there's a fine, just include it in the fare,"
Qin Yu said breezily.
At this time.
On the third floor of the hospital, the emergency room.
When Yan Mingyu stepped out of the elevator, a crowd of people was already standing there like a dark cloud.
From the old man's generation, aside from him, there were three brothers. In the early days of setting up the business, they worked in the old man's company, holding a certain percentage of shares.
Once they reached retirement age, they transferred their shares to the uncles of Yan Mingyu's generation.
Thus, spreading and extending down to Yan Mingyu's generation, aside from her being the only child, there were seven or eight cousins.
At this time, all of them were standing in the corridor.
The expression on each person's face was different.
"Mingyu, what have you been up to lately, all this matchmaking business and bed photos? Look how angry you've made the old man!"
A fifty-something-year-old man with a goatee and a stern face spoke up from the crowd.
Yan Zonghui, Yan Mingyu's eldest uncle.
Being the oldest in the uncles' generation, he naturally had the right to speak to Yan Mingyu in such a tone.
"Yeah, Mingyu, if you want to get married and become a housewife, then step down from the CEO position. Us cousins, our abilities aren't any worse than yours!"
At this point, a woman in a white business suit also spoke up.
Yan Jingyi, Yan Mingyu's cousin, was the general manager of a Four Seas Corporation subsidiary.
She had always been somewhat resentful of Yan Mingyu's control over the Four Seas Corporation's headquarters.
"There's another thing, the old man once said on his seventieth birthday that if he were to pass away, his shares in Four Seas Corporation would be divided equally among us grandchildren. I think we should have someone from the notary office come over to handle this matter, don't you?"
Another young man stepped forward and said.
Four Seas Corporation, valued at hundreds of billions, holding more shares meant more money to be distributed each year. Even though these people were already second-generation rich, who would complain about having more money?
"Big brother, aren't you in a bit of a rush?"
Someone nudged the young man who was speaking with his elbow gently.
"Yan Junyi, you're so eager for shares, I might as well give you the whole company!"
Yan Mingyu glared fiercely at this playboy cousin, her heart filled with anger and disappointment.
Her grandfather was still in the emergency room with his life hanging in the balance, and these people were already thinking about dividing up his shares.
"Heh, little cousin, writing up share transfer documents, who doesn't know how to manage a company? Drink some tea, play a round of golf, hold a meeting now and then!"
Yan Junyi said nonchalantly.
"You....."
Yan Mingyu trembled with rage.
So, in their eyes, her role as the company's CEO was just to drink tea, hold meetings, and play golf, and that's how the company's performance went up?
The last time she went to Mangshan, someone set her up, and she nearly died in the valley.
Did they know that?
Looking at the faces of her relatives, Yan Mingyu felt her heart bleeding.
"Mingyu, Junyi may have spoken out of turn, but with the old man's condition… it's better to plan ahead,"
Elder Uncle Yan Zonghui said, frowning.
"Yeah, if you can't even manage your private life, how can you manage a company? I suggest that after the old man's issue is resolved, we immediately convene a shareholders' meeting and re-elect the CEO!"
Cousin Yan Jingyi was also the ambitious type, no doubt eager to manage the headquarters and step onto a larger stage.
"Hmph, don't forget, I am the largest shareholder in the company, and I have veto power over all proposals,"
Yan Mingyu swept a cold glance at her cousin and said icily.
"Whoa... this is quite the gathering!"
At that moment, a mature and full-bodied figure walked out of the elevator.
She approached the crowd at ease, "How could I miss such an important occasion?"
"Liu Nanyan, what are you doing here?"
Yan Zonghui asked grimly.
"Hehe, I'm a daughter-in-law of the Yan Family, aren't I? With the old man in trouble, how could I not come?"
Liu Nanyan said with a smile.
Although she and Yan Mingyu's father had always had a rocky relationship, they had not divorced to maintain the family image.
Legally, she was still part of the Yan Family. It was only natural for her to come and check on her father-in-law's critical condition.
But her true motives were yet to be revealed.
