Chapter 2877: Had to Win It Back

It was pointless to give up your principles just for some benefit. Once you backed down once, you’d just keep backing down.

But Ding Yan’s behavior made some sense. It was like gambling. He had already paid so much and invested so much into this.

He had to win it back.

Honestly, Ding Yan could’ve been more assertive. After all, Ding Ningdie was his daughter, and with Bai Hanmo’s affection for her after that one-night stand…

There would definitely be benefits.

But now, the elders didn’t act like elders at all.

Tsk tsk…

“We’ll see how things are after they get married,” Mother Ding said.

Ning Shu looked at Mother Ding. “Mother, do you have something in mind?”

“You’ll see,” Mother Ding smiled at her.

The wedding of Ding Yan and Ji Lu was grand, and Bai Hanmo also gave Ding Yan face by inviting a lot of people.

To support Ji Lu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were clearly in their forties, but they acted like it was their first marriage. Did they have no sense of shame?

After Ding Yan and Ji Lu’s marriage, Mother Ding started making moves.

As a major shareholder in the company, Mother Ding wanted to call a shareholders’ meeting.

She had acquired many shares and planned to team up with others to remove Ding Yan from his position as chairman.

They would nominate another major shareholder for the role.

Mother Ding knew she couldn’t be the chairman, so she nominated someone else.

Ning Shu followed Mother Ding to the company to attend the board meeting.

“Mother, do you really want to go through with this?” Ning Shu asked, sitting behind her.

Mother Ding looked calm. “Of course.”

Ding Yan walked into the meeting room, frowned, and looked at Mother Ding. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing. I’m a major shareholder, and I want to hold a meeting,” Mother Ding said.

Ding Yan gave her a look, then sat in the chairman’s seat.

After more than ten shareholders arrived, the meeting began.

What followed was essentially a criticism session of Ding Yan, focusing on his mistakes in managing the company—poor management, wrong decisions, bad policies.

Everyone makes mistakes, but Ding Yan’s were exaggerated.

Ding Yan sat there, looking grim, scanning the people around him.

This was the Ding family’s company; it wouldn’t be easy for these people to seize control.

Under the table, Ding Yan quickly sent a text message to Ding Ningdie, telling her to bring Bai Hanmo to the company.

The company’s situation wasn’t good right now.

As soon as she got the message, Ding Ningdie rushed to find Bai Hanmo.

Even if it was just for her newlywed mother’s sake, Ding Ningdie couldn’t ignore it.

Mother Ding stood up. “So, I propose that Director Chen become the chairman, and I fully support him.”

Ding Yan’s face darkened. “After all these years of marriage, is this how you treat your former partner? Are you really going to be this ruthless?”

No one knew what Mother Ding felt after hearing those words, but Ning Shu found it pretty ironic.

When Ding Yan acted, he didn’t think about their years of marriage either.

So women are always supposed to be soft-hearted? Otherwise, they’re cruel and heartless?

“I support Director Chen.”

“I support him too.”

“I support him as well.”

Director Chen smiled. He had been lobbying many directors for this moment.

Seeing this, Ding Yan’s expression grew darker.

If they really stripped him of the chairman position, he’d just be a figurehead. This was the Ding family’s company!
