"Are you brain-dead? I see you've been overdosing on idiot pills, just like that fool Xie Guangbo!" Wei Zhao spoke up before Gu Pengzhan could open his mouth. "You ask why I'm sitting here? I'd like to ask why you're sitting here — what the hell are you? And Director Xie's wish? Is that fool Xie Guangbo even qualified to appoint me? What is he? He's only a little better than you..."
"I... I... I am a shareholder of the group, and one of its three largest shareholders — why shouldn't I sit here?" Jin Gubang was smoking with rage at Wei Zhao's words. When had anyone ever called him brain-dead? And Wei Zhao had insulted him before so many people, leaving him utterly humiliated. Jin Gubang was beside himself at once. "Chairman Chu, I should like to ask — can a man like this attend a shareholders' meeting? What qualifications does he have? And he dares to insult a shareholder! Security — where is security? Throw him out!"
The other shareholders likewise looked at Wei Zhao in bewilderment, thinking to themselves: even if you are Gu Pengzhan's prospective son-in-law, you can't be this arrogant, surely? Jin Gubang was the largest shareholder after Gu Pengzhan; within the company, only Gu Pengzhan and Xie Guangbo dared to oppose him so openly — the other minor shareholders had no such standing!
But you are merely Gu Pengzhan's son-in-law, not Gu Pengzhan himself. Isn't it going too far to insult a shareholder like this? If you dare revile the company's second-largest shareholder, then we minor shareholders will simply be at your mercy!
Just as these people were thoroughly despising Wei Zhao for borrowing the tiger's might, Gu Pengzhan spoke up: "Vice Chairman Jin, Mr. Wei Zhao is now a newly appointed shareholder of the company — and, apart from you and me, the largest shareholder of all!"
At these words of Gu Pengzhan's, the whole room was in an uproar! Everyone stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief. Was not the company's third-largest shareholder Xie Guangbo? How had it become Wei Zhao?
Jin Gubang was stunned. He looked at Gu Pengzhan in disbelief, then at Wei Zhao. "How is this possible? This is impossible! Gu Pengzhan, what game are you playing?"
This time Jin Gubang was utterly frantic; he simply refused to believe Gu Pengzhan's words, for they were far too fantastic! The company's third-largest shareholder was plainly Xie Guangbo — how could it possibly be Wei Zhao?
"No time to waste words on you. Here are the share transfer documents — see for yourself." Wei Zhao tossed out a document at random: the share transfer agreement signed by Xie Guangbo.
Jin Gubang snatched up the transfer documents and read them over. When he had finished, he glared at Gu Pengzhan with a hideous expression. "Impossible! I don't believe it — this must be forged by you! How could Xie Guangbo transfer his shares to you? And as a gift, no less, for nothing? Is he brain-dead?"
In his fury, Jin Gubang too had taken up the phrase "brain-dead."
"Are you brain-dead or what? Just make a phone call and you'll know!" Wei Zhao curled his lip, staring at the frantic Jin Gubang as though looking at an idiot.
Jin Gubang was by nature a steady man, but the day's events had repeatedly slipped beyond his control, so there was no way he could calm himself. Everything before his eyes, as he saw it, was utterly impossible, a thing beyond the bounds of common sense.
