Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 477: King's Ascension
At 1:30 p.m., the shareholder representatives of Mule Bank and other leaders attending the meeting came to the auditorium after a short break for lunch.

However, after waiting for more than 10 minutes, there was still no sign of the two protagonists of this meeting - Ning Minghao and Ji Dong.

Just as everyone was discussing the whereabouts of the two in private, Wang Quan led Ji Dong and others into the venue with a solemn look on their faces.

He first whispered something to Vice President Zhang and Vice President Gao who were present. Zhang and Gao looked shocked after hearing what he said. The shareholder representatives below the stage couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

The doubt in his mind did not last long, and the answer was revealed by Wang Quan himself.

He picked up the phone and announced with great sadness:
"Just now, Chairman Ning suddenly fell ill and has been sent to the Provincial Hospital for emergency treatment. Considering that most of the shareholder representatives have come from other places, the meeting cannot be cancelled temporarily, so the job of presiding over the meeting will be temporarily handed over to..."

Wang Quan first turned his gaze to Vice President Zhang, who was ranked second after Ning Minghao. The latter closed his eyes and shook his head.

Nonsense, I will retire in a few months, why would I take on this hot potato and cause trouble?

Wang Quan then looked at Vice President Gao, who was ranked third in line, and the latter waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.

Vice President Gao was originally a very cautious person, and he had been in charge of the Credit Review Department and the Risk Department for many years, so he became less and less courageous.

Ning Minghao, who was in good health in the morning, almost died just after noon because of a disagreement with Ji Dong.

The water here is too deep, and Vice President Gao will never step into this muddy water.

At this moment, a representative of a small shareholder suggested:

"President Wang, since the other two presidents are unwilling to take over, why don't you temporarily take over Chairman Ning's position as president and take charge of the work!"

This suggestion was quickly supported by the others, and Ji Dong even stood up and said loudly:

"President Wang Quan played a huge role in the successful listing of Mule Bank. Now at this critical moment, only he can stand up and win the trust of our shareholders!"

Wang Quan's expression was serious. He thought for a moment and replied:
"Since you all trust me so much, I will preside over this shareholders' meeting on behalf of Chairman Ning. As for the subsequent job arrangements, they will be discussed and decided by the board of directors."

"Very good, very good!"

After the power transfer ceremony was over, Ji Dong couldn't wait to speak:
"Let's get back to the topic we discussed this morning, the private placement of Mule Bank's Hong Kong shares."

Vice President Zhang, who had been silent for most of the day, suddenly opened his eyes and said into the microphone:

"The chairman is still being rescued, so let's put this matter aside for now. Why not discuss it at the shareholders' meeting next month, when the work of each leader has been finalized. President Ji, what do you think? It doesn't take a month or so, right?"

In fact, a big part of the reason why Ji Dong proposed the private placement of Hong Kong stocks was to prevent the passage of the proposal by Ning Minghao and others to issue overseas preferred shares.

Now that the other party's proposal has been shelved, it would be meaningless to bring up my new proposal for discussion later.

So Ji Dong graciously accepted Vice President Zhang's suggestion, and Wang Quan smiled slightly:
"Then the conference will proceed to the next step."

"Which of you is the patient's family member?"

The door of the emergency room was pushed open from the inside, and the man in a white coat who was leading the group asked with a sad face.

Wang Chunliang and Ning Shuo looked at each other's expressions and heard such familiar words that represented bad news in TV dramas, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Ning Shuo rushed to the man in the white coat and firmly grasped his hands:
"Doctor, I am the patient's son. How is he now?"

"The patient has a history of high blood pressure, and being too emotional can lead to a stroke. The rescue was timely and he was lucky, so he was saved." Ning Shuo breathed a sigh of relief after learning that his father's life was not in danger, but he soon expressed his dissatisfaction with the doctor:

"No, the patient is fine. Why did you look so sullen when you came out? Did you do it to scare us?"

I have seen unreasonable family members of patients, but no one has ever protested against my expression. Bai probably won't indulge them, so he retorted:

"I've had a toothache all day, so I'm naturally not going to smile. What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Wang Chunliang hurried forward, calmly stuffed the shopping card into the pocket of his white coat, and changed the subject:
"Can we go in and see the patient now?"

The other party's friendly behavior made the man in the white coat feel much more comfortable. He waved his hand:

"The patient will be transferred to the ICU for observation. Once it is confirmed that there are no other problems, you can go in to visit him. Now you can go and complete the hospitalization procedures."

Ji Zimei, who came with them, did not act up and followed Wang Chunliang and Ning Shuo to the payment office.

Ji Yang followed the man in the white coat all the way and stopped him before he turned the corner and returned to the office.

Unlike Wang Chunliang who used a shopping card to pave the way, Ji Yang put the money in an envelope.

"Oh, no, no, no"

The man in the white coat refused verbally while reaching into his pocket to shake the weight of the envelope.

Then his expression was shocked, and he said very seriously:
"Don't worry, we doctors treat every patient with great care, and we will naturally be extremely attentive to your father."

Ji Yang did not correct the other party's misunderstanding of his relationship with Ning Minghao, but asked:
"How long will it take him to recover? There shouldn't be any sequelae, right?"

The man in the white coat shook his head:
"Although we treated the patient promptly, the chances of full recovery from a stroke caused by high blood pressure are low."

Since one of the two opposing parties withdrew early, the following stages of the shareholders' meeting were uneventful.

At 2:20 p.m., the first shareholders' meeting of Mule Bank came to an end.

In the office, Wang Quan and Ji Dong were sitting on the sofa, while Ji Yang and Ji Zimei, who had just returned from the hospital, were sitting on chairs not far away.

"President Wang, your office is still a little small and shabby. I think Ning Minghao's office is very good. I think you can move in soon."

Wang Quan waved his hands again and again:
"The chairman is only ill temporarily. When he recovers, he will naturally come back to take charge of the overall situation."

Ji Dong handed Wang Quan a cigar and shook his head:
"Ji Yang just came back from the hospital. Ning Minghao's illness is not mild this time. Even if a medical miracle happened to him, by the time he fully recovered, Mule Bank would have completely changed."

Wang Quan smiled faintly and did not respond, but changed the subject:
"Then President Ji must hurry up and take advantage of the chairman's absence to complete his important tasks."

Ji Dong took a puff of his cigar and looked at Ji Yang:
"Is the off-market acquisition of 4 million shares in Hong Kong City that I asked you to monitor almost completed?"

Ji Yang looked embarrassed:
"There was a small incident. Several institutions that had been negotiated with changed their minds at the last minute."

Ji Dong was about to get angry when he heard this, but Ji Zimei stepped forward in time:
"Dad, the other party just wants us to raise our offer because they see that the current Mule Bank stock price is on a good upward trend. When the news of Ning Minghao's critical illness spreads and the stock price fluctuates, they will definitely beg us to sit back at the negotiation table."

Just when Ji Dong wanted to make some more arrangements, Wang Quan's secretary knocked on the door and came in:
"President Wang, your junior brother Wang Chunliang is here to visit. He is now at the entrance of the corridor where you just got off the elevator."
