Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Siding Too Quickly, Watch Out for Your Back

“You enjoy the company’s benefits in peacetime, but at the crucial moment, you refuse to take risks for the company. Do you think this is fair to me?”

The shareholder who spoke first laughed when he heard this, leaned back in his chair, picked up his tea from the table, and said with a half-smile, “Why is President Clark getting so angry? We have already said that we’re doing this for the company’s sake. Besides, we’re shareholders, not President Clark’s subordinates, there’s no question of being fair or not, right? It’s all about the interest, the common interest of us all. If we really go by what President Clark suggests, we would like to ask President Clark, after all the years we’ve spent together at the company, for your own benefit alone, you’re now dragging us down. Is that fair to us? Is that fair to the company?”

As these words were spoken, Jacob Clark’s face changed dramatically, staring fiercely at the speaking shareholder.

But this shareholder was not the least bit afraid of him, calmly drinking his tea. After finishing it, he put the cup down and looked straight into his eyes, “President Clark, don’t look at me with that kind of gaze; it makes me feel like you’re trying to push me out of the shareholders’ circle.”

Unfortunately, Jacob Clark was now unable to protect himself, no longer able to dominate as he had in the past.

Everyone present understood this, and other oppressed shareholders showed a half-smiling expression, looking at Jacob Clark with a sense of shared enmity.

“President Clark, take our advice. For the sake of the company, you better not go against Rhine. Rhine’s takeover is the best outcome for the company.”

“You—” Jacob Clark was at a loss for words for the first time at a shareholders’ meeting, clearly angry enough to want to take care of this group of people, but now he was helpless against them!

His face shifted from calm to stormy as he coldly swept his gaze over all the shareholders and dropped a phrase, “The takeover is not yet over, we do not know who the winner will be. Siding too early might just backfire!”

With that said, he stood up and walked out without even announcing the end of the meeting.

The secretary hurriedly followed him, leaving the conference room together.

In the meeting room, the other shareholders frowned, exchanging worried glances, a layer of concern hanging over their hearts…

There was only one final step remaining before the completion of the takeover, which supposedly couldn’t go wrong. But they knew very well what kind of person Jacob was, having dealt with him for so many years. Since Jacob hadn’t given up, it meant he must have another move. They worried about what Rhine might face…

The earlier outspoken shareholder now regretted being too hasty, but couldn’t show it and had to reassure the others looking at him, “Don’t worry, Rhine has already made it to the last step of the acquisition. It’s a sure thing that he will take over the company. No matter how powerful President Clark is, or how extensive his network might be, he can’t change that. Rest assured.”

Although he said this, he wasn’t confident himself.

After all, Jacob was a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

…

The shareholders in the meeting room remained uneasy about the last thing he left them with.

Jacob, however, entered his office with a stern face, slamming the door behind him, and sat heavily in his swivel chair, brooding with a dark expression, deep in thought.

Just as the secretary was about to ask if he wanted a cup of coffee, the man sitting there with a sullen look suddenly raised his head, looking over—

“Come here, help me with this, and remember, no matter what it takes, you must get this done. Once it’s done, you’ll get a sizeable bonus.”

“President Clark, what is it?”

Jacob Clark whispered instructions into his ear.
