Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: Removal from Office

When the Lishui Lake project was mentioned, the shareholders’ expressions became unpleasant, and their dissatisfaction with Jiang Jingheng increased.

Money is one thing, but they were also unhappy with his stubbornness and refusal to heed advice.

"Chairman Jiang, we know you’re a decisive person, but you’re still young. It’s better to listen to the elders’ advice because we’ve eaten more salt than you have eaten rice," one shareholder couldn’t help but say.

"I said earlier that this project isn’t feasible, but certain people insisted on going ahead. Now, look at what’s happened. We’ve lost so much money. Recently, because of him, the company’s stock has fallen and has yet to recover. The company’s market value evaporated by hundreds of billions. What do you have to say about this?"

"Today, Chairman Jiang holds more than fifty percent of the group’s shares and has absolute control. We know we cannot oppose you, but with such a matter, I think it’s necessary for Chairman Jiang to write a report summarizing his mistakes this time, to give everyone an explanation; otherwise, it might be hard to convince the public."

...

Shareholders spoke in agitation, and Jiang Jingheng listened with an unchanged expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing him silent, the conference room gradually quieted down.

He looked up and scanned the crowd, asking, "Is everyone done speaking?"

No one responded. He picked up a folder by his side and tossed it to the middle of the conference table.

"This is the result you asked for."

Everyone glanced at him and then at each other, not understanding what he meant.

A shareholder couldn’t resist picking up the folder to browse through it, and after reading, his expression changed, "How is this possible?"

President Zhou noticed his abnormal expression and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The person gave him the document to look at, and after President Zhou viewed it, his expression changed drastically as well.

He looked at Jiang Jingheng, asking, "How did you manage this?"

"Protecting the environment is an obligation for every citizen and enterprise, but economic development is indispensable too. As long as they coexist, the government is willing to see it happen. I simply prepared an environmental proposal that successfully persuaded government departments to restart the project," Jiang Jingheng said calmly. "But I don’t blame you for being short-sighted; after all, you’re older and don’t understand the concept of an ecological hotel, easily frightened by anyone who wants to alarm you."

The shareholders’ faces were exceedingly unpleasant. A moment ago, they were shouting about Jiang Jingheng being so incompetent, yet he proved them wrong the next moment.

President Zhou said with a cold face, "Since the project is restarting, that’s a good thing, but as a decision-maker, this is the explanation you owe the company, and it’s your responsibility."

Jiang Jingheng looked up, glanced at him, and threw another document on the table.

"Whoever approved the proposal takes responsibility. This is your stance, so now tell me who is to bear the responsibility?"

Everyone was a bit bewildered. Was there anything else?

This time, President Zhou took the file first; after reading it, his expression changed, "How is this possible."

Others picked it up to see, finally realizing it was about the project Jiang Wenhui proposed earlier. Although Shengyuan Group’s subsidiary covers numerous industries, real estate is the most profitable. Who would have thought Jiang Wenhui’s cultural theme town would be halted due to illegal demolition of historical cultural sites, resulting in fines and warnings, despite someone mediating?

"This was Vice President Jiang’s proposed project. How could we know her subordinates would be so bold as to touch cultural heritage? We’ve all been deceived by her." President Zhou stated straightforwardly, implying that he wouldn’t bear the blame.

Other shareholders quickly shifted all the responsibility to Jiang Wenhui, completely forgetting how they initially supported her.

Jiang Jingheng looked at them indifferently. "Since you’ve unanimously agreed the fault lies with the project planner, I now decide to remove Vice President Jiang Wenhui from her position. I trust none of you object, right?"
