Chapter 335 — A Bolt from the Blue: Just as Jin Gubang Was Racked with Doubt, Gu Pengzhan Spoke Up, "All right, everyone, quiet down. We are about to convene an emergency shareholders' meeting!"

"Are you brain-dead? You must have swallowed too many brain-dead pills, just like that fool Xie Guangbo!" Before Gu Pengzhan could open his mouth, Wei Zhao cut in. "You ask me why I'm sitting here? I'd like to ask you why you're sitting here. What are you, anyway? Director Xie's wish? Does that fool Xie Guangbo have the right to appoint me? What is he? He's only a hair better than you..."
"I... I... I am a shareholder of the group, and one of its three largest shareholders. Why can'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 cursed him in front of so many people, leaving him utterly humiliated. In an instant Jin Gubang grew frantic with fury: "Chairman Chu, I want to ask you — can a person like this attend a shareholders' meeting? What qualifications does he have? And he dares insult a shareholder! Security — where is security? Throw him out!"
The other shareholders, too, looked at Wei Zhao in bewilderment, thinking: even if you are Gu Pengzhan's future son-in-law, you can't be this arrogant, surely? Jin Gubang is the great shareholder second only to Gu Pengzhan; within the company, only Gu Pengzhan and Xie Guangbo dare oppose him so openly. The minor shareholders have 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 that? If you dare curse the company's second-largest shareholder, then we minor shareholders will simply be yours to trample on.
Just as these people were despising Wei Zhao for trading on another's authority, Gu Pengzhan spoke: "Deputy Chairman Jin, Mr. Wei Zhao is now a newly seated shareholder of the company — and, apart from you and me, the largest shareholder of all!"
At these words, the entire room erupted. Everyone stared at Wei Zhao in disbelief. Was not the company's third-largest shareholder Xie Guangbo? How had he become Wei Zhao?
Jin Gubang was struck dumb. He looked at Gu Pengzhan in disbelief, then at Wei Zhao. "How could this be? This is impossible! Gu Pengzhan, what game are you playing?"
This time Jin Gubang was thoroughly frantic; he simply refused to believe Gu Pengzhan's words, for they were far too incredible. The company's third-largest shareholder was plainly Xie Guangbo — how could it be Wei Zhao?
"I've no time to waste words on you. Here is the share transfer document — read it yourself." Wei Zhao tossed out a document: the share transfer agreement signed by Xie Guangbo.
Jin Gubang snatched up the transfer document and read it through. When he had finished, he glared at Gu Pengzhan with a hideous face. "Impossible! I don't believe it — this must be a forgery you two cooked up! How could Xie Guangbo transfer his shares to you? And as an outright gift? Is he brain-dead?"
In his rage, Jin Gubang too had seized upon the phrase "brain-dead."
"Brain-dead or not, make a phone call and you'll know soon enough!" Wei Zhao curled his lip, gazing at the frantic Jin Gubang as though at a fool.
Jin Gubang was by nature a steady man, but what had happened today had repeatedly slipped beyond his control, and so he could not calm himself. Everything before his eyes seemed to him absolutely impossible — it simply defied all common sense.
