Chapter 223 Do You Know Them?
Just when everyone was completely dumbfounded, finding it hard to link the two individuals who had just fought like thugs on the street with the chairman and general manager of Donglinyue Apparel, a shareholder suddenly seemed to discover a new continent and pointed at Lin Kun and Yue Ting, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "You, you are the chairman and general manager of Donglinyue Apparel!"
Yue Ting and Lin Kun looked at the shareholder who was pointing at them in shock and awe as if they were looking at an idiot.
What was there to be so shocked and awe-struck about, Dongxu had already mentioned it, hadn't he?
But the others did not think so because they were skeptical about the identities of Ge Dongxu, Lin Kun, and Yue Ting, so upon hearing this, they all looked towards the screaming shareholder, especially Ren Chenle who could no longer contain himself and asked with a sullen face, "Old Lin, you know them?"
"I don't know them, but my nephew opened a Donglinyue Apparel specialty store in Beisheng District at the beginning of the year. I saw a photograph of my nephew with them when I visited his house a few days ago. I thought they looked familiar when I saw them just now, but I couldn't recall where I had seen them. Just now, when Mr. Ge said they were the chairman and general manager of Donglinyue, that's when I suddenly remembered," the shareholder with surname Lin replied.
"So you are Uncle Lin Ziming," Yue Ting said, looking at the shareholder surnamed Lin, finally understanding why he had been shouting and pointing at them earlier.
Yue Ting had a good memory; she had interacted with most of the franchisees in the early phase and remembered their names.

"Yes, yes, I'm Lin Ziming's uncle. Hello, Chairman Yue, I didn't expect to meet you and General Manager Lin here," the shareholder surnamed Lin hurried forward to shake hands with Yue Ting and Lin Kun.
Watching the shareholder surnamed Lin hurriedly coming forward to shake hands with Yue Ting and Lin Kun, the expressions of the other shareholders were very subtle and elaborate because they all remembered the subservient demeanor Yue Ting and Lin Kun had shown in front of Ge Dongxu.
It'd be one thing if Yue Ting and Lin Kun were just ordinary people, but the problem was that these two were the nationally famous chairman and general manager of Donglinyue Apparel!
What did this imply?
Now they finally understood why Ge Dongxu spoke so casually and confidently about reallocating the funds of Donglinyue Apparel as if the company was his alone.
Wasn't it so? As shareholders, the chairman and the general manager were supposed to be wealthy and prestigious individuals, but just now, for Zhang Huowang's sake, they both rolled up their sleeves and rushed in to fight like thugs!
Furthermore, they were clearly older than Ge Dongxu but had to address him as "Brother." It was clear to see what status Ge Dongxu, the major shareholder, held in their hearts. To move the company's money, he really just needed to say the word, without needing to consult with them.
Thinking of this, many people also thought of Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory, wondering if it was the same there.
By this time, Li Bisheng's face had turned from pale to flush, looking extremely displeased, then suddenly snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out without saying a word.
Considering the developments so far, unless Li Bisheng was a fool, he should realize that even if Ge Dongxu couldn't help Liu Jiayao acquire all the shares, securing a substantial percentage to grant her absolute controlling power was absolutely no problem. Under these circumstances, staying any longer would only bring him humiliation.
Seeing Mr. Li rise to leave, Ren Chenle also stood up with a gloomy face, ready to go.
"Dear shareholder, I advise you to transfer your shares before leaving. Otherwise, I can hardly guarantee that Mr. Liu will still be in the mood to acquire your shares after today. By then, your shares may be gradually diluted, leaving you no say in the board of directors. Don't say I didn't warn you today." Ge Dongxu had neither particular fondness nor dislike for the other shareholders, but he genuinely despised Ren Chenle and was determined to kick him out of Qinglan Cosmetics Company. Thus, seeing him also standing to leave, he threatened unabashedly.
Upon hearing this, Ren Chenle's foot, which had already stepped forward, slowly retracted, and then he sat back down with a dark expression.
"Sister Li, please discuss the stock transfer with them," Ge Dongxu said.
Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a deep look and then hummed, her gaze slowly sweeping over the shareholders in the meeting room, "For you, Qinglan Cosmetics might just be an industry to make money, but for me, aside from earning money, it also embodies a special emotional attachment. Therefore, when the company faces a crisis, you choose to transfer shares, while I choose to stand firm. I don't blame you, really. However, I hope you can stick to the original plan and transfer the shares to me, so that similar crises in the future won't involve you and won't hurt our feelings. When we meet again, I'll still address you respectfully as uncles."
As Liu Jiayao's voice faded, the room fell silent, and all shareholders except Ren Chenle showed expressions of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Jiayao, I'm relieved that Mr. Ge stepped in to help you. Since you wish to hold 100% ownership, let's transfer it to you as discussed before. A brand is difficult to build but easy to destroy, so you must quickly identify the problem; otherwise, even with Mr. Ge's financial support, if the issue isn't resolved promptly, the Qinglan brand might still fall," Uncle Hua eventually broke the silence first.
"Thank you, Uncle Hua. I understand your feelings, and I will always remember your help and care over the years. Rest assured, I won't let the Qinglan brand be destroyed on my watch." Liu Jiayao stepped forward and tightly grasped Uncle Hua's hand, her eyes moistening.
Uncle Hua nodded and then pulled out the share transfer agreement.
Being the second largest shareholder of Qinglan Cosmetics Company, holding twenty-five percent of the shares, the amount involved in the transfer agreement was substantial, totaling twenty-three million.
Liu Jiayao glanced at the agreement and then looked towards Ge Dongxu.
"Don't worry about the money, just sign," Ge Dongxu, knowing what Liu Jiayao meant, nodded affirmatively.
As soon as Ge Dongxu had nodded, Cheng Yazhou and the Finance Manager Zhao hurriedly arrived at the meeting room.
As the company's finance manager, Manager Zhao naturally recognized Ge Dongxu, the major boss, and knew his status in the eyes of the company's other shareholders, so upon seeing him, he promptly stepped forward and respectfully greeted him as boss.
"How much funds are available in our company right now?" Ge Dongxu greeted Cheng Yazhou and Manager Zhao and then asked directly.
"As long as the funds you use do not exceed sixty million, it will not impact the company's normal operations. Of course, if you need more, we can also find a way to solve it." Cheng Yazhou had anticipated that Ge Dongxu would definitely need to use funds to help Liu Jiayao overcome this difficulty, so he had already inquired about the financial situation from Manager Zhao on the way here, and thus he immediately responded when Ge Dongxu asked.
