My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

At 8:50 a.m.,

With ten minutes remaining before the Liu's Jewelry shareholders' meeting, Su Muchen and Liu Ziyan met with Qian Yutang downstairs at the Liu's Jewelry company.

After a brief discussion about their appearance, Liu Ziyan led Su Muchen into Liu's Jewelry and took the elevator directly to the top floor, where the shareholders' meeting was to be held.

The two arrived at the conference room door. Liu Ziyan was a little nervous and did not push open the door immediately.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here with you. Also, don't forget that we're not here to embarrass those people, but to slap them in the face. You're the star of the show today."

Su Muchen noticed Liu Ziyan's nervousness, so he grabbed her shoulders with both hands and gave her encouragement with a firm look in his eyes.

"Yes, that's right, they're the ones who should be nervous."

With Su Muchen's encouragement, Liu Ziyan's nervousness eased. After taking a deep breath, she resolutely pushed open the conference room door.

The once noisy meeting room fell silent the moment Liu Ziyan appeared.

The meeting room was now full of people, roughly twenty in total. All of them were shareholders of Liu's Jewelry.

Of course, Liu Ziyan's uncle and aunt were also on the list. They not only held important positions in the company, but also owned a lot of shares in the company, so they were naturally qualified to attend the shareholders' meeting.

"Oh, my dear niece, your official airs are getting bigger and bigger. All of us shareholders arrived early, but you were the only one who arrived late."

As soon as Liu Ziyan entered the door, her aunt Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but speak up, making sarcastic accusations against Liu Ziyan.

Liu Ziyan ignored Liu Piaopiao's deliberate attempt to embarrass her and walked straight to the head seat of the conference table, displaying a somewhat strong and assertive demeanor.

When Liu Piaopiao saw that Liu Ziyan ignored her in front of so many people, she became furious, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and continued to berate Liu Ziyan.

"Liu Ziyan, didn't you hear me talking to you? Don't you have any manners? You're late, and I can't even say a few words to you?"

"My dear aunt, are you going through menopause? Why are you so irritable? I remember the shareholders' meeting was scheduled for 9:00 AM sharp, and it's still two minutes to nine. How can I be late? What? You arrived early and you're blaming others?"

"you……"

Liu Piaopiao never expected that her niece, whom they had always bullied, would dare to talk back to her, which left her at a loss for words.

Suddenly, Liu Piaopiao saw Su Muchen standing behind Liu Ziyan, and her eyes lit up, as if she had found a breakthrough in the conversation.

"Hmph, Liu Ziyan, who is that pretty boy behind you? Today we are holding a shareholders' meeting. Apart from our company's shareholders, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. What do you mean by bringing an outsider in?"

"This is my personal bodyguard, responsible for protecting my personal safety so that I won't be harmed by any Tom, Dick, or Harry. What? As the chairman, I can't even have a bodyguard? Fine, then this shareholders' meeting is off the table. I'm leaving."

After Liu Ziyan finished speaking, she prepared to get up and leave, which made Liu Xianghong, who was sitting to her right, very anxious. Today's main character was not only him, but also Liu Ziyan. If either of them were missing, the shareholders' meeting would not be able to proceed.

"Alright, little sister, don't worry about that. Please sit down. The shareholders' meeting is about to begin."

Liu Xianghong glared at Liu Piaopiao, signaling her to stop causing trouble and get to the meeting.

After Liu Piaopiao angrily sat down, a shareholder sitting to Liu Ziyan's left stood up. This shareholder was a veteran of Liu's Jewelry, having worked with the company since Liu Ziyan's grandfather's generation, and was now the most prestigious among all the shareholders.

"Alright, the shareholders' meeting will now officially begin. There are only two agenda items: one is to remove the current chairman from his position, and the other is to elect a new chairman. Does anyone have any other objections?"

After the veteran shareholder finished speaking, everyone present turned their attention to Liu Ziyan, wanting to see how she would react.

But to the shareholders' dismay, Liu Ziyan remained completely unfazed, as if these two issues had nothing to do with her.

"Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the first issue. Since Ms. Liu Ziyan took over Liu's Jewelry and became the chairman, our company's performance has plummeted. We have been in a loss-making state for many years. Recently, there was even a case of more than 300 million yuan worth of raw stones being swapped. Someone must take responsibility for this."

As the veteran shareholder spoke, he glanced at Liu Ziyan intentionally or unintentionally, making it clear that Liu Ziyan must bear this responsibility.

"That's right. The product swapping incident has seriously damaged the company's foundation. Many of our partners have terminated their cooperation with us because of this, plunging the company into dire straits. In this incident, all the documents were signed by the chairman, and even the decision to make payment before receiving the goods was personally approved by the chairman. Otherwise, how could such a situation have occurred? Therefore, the ultimate responsibility for this matter must be borne by Chairman Liu."

"Yes, she should be in charge."

"I agree..."

"I agree..."

As soon as the veteran shareholder finished speaking, the other shareholders present immediately chimed in, all placing the blame on Liu Ziyan.

"I propose that Ms. Liu Ziyan be removed from her position as chairperson, and that a more capable person be selected to fill the role. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections..."

"We all agree..."

One by one, they chimed in with their opinions, as if the shareholders had already discussed it beforehand, and no one voiced any objection.

"Chairman Liu, what do you think?"

Seeing that none of the other shareholders had any objections, the veteran shareholder turned his attention to Liu Ziyan. Of course, even if Liu Ziyan objected, it wouldn't matter; the outcome was already decided.

"You're asking me? You've already made up your minds, what's the point of my objection? But what I'm more curious about is, if I give up this chairman's position, who will take it?"

Liu Ziyan chuckled and turned her gaze to her uncle, Liu Xianghong, making him feel a little intimidated.

When Liu Xianghong faced Liu Ziyan's gaze, he felt a sudden panic. Today, Liu Ziyan gave him a different feeling, as if his secrets were completely exposed in front of her, and he felt like he had been seen through.

"Regarding the selection of the new chairman, our shareholders have already discussed it. President Liu Xianghong has spared no effort for the company over the years, and now he has even helped the company regain its previous suppliers, making a huge contribution to the company. Only President Liu is capable of serving as chairman. Don't you all agree?"

"That's right, I support President Liu taking on the position of chairman."

"I second that..."

"I second that..."

None of the shareholders present objected; they all supported Liu Xianghong taking over the position of chairman.

Liu Xianghong, who had been a little flustered, felt reassured when he saw that all the shareholders supported him as expected.

"Grandpa Wu, have you also been bribed by Liu Xianghong? You are my grandfather's partner. Over the years, it is you who have assisted my father in achieving everything Liu's Jewelry has today. Now you are showing no mercy and directly leading the charge to force him to abdicate."

Liu Ziyan was very disappointed with this veteran shareholder. Among all the shareholders, this veteran shareholder was the most loyal to her Liu family. He not only helped her grandfather build the Liu Jewelry empire, but also assisted her father in making Liu Jewelry bigger and bigger.

Moreover, he was Liu Ziyan's grandfather, who had watched her grow up since she was a child and had unconditionally supported her all these years. Unexpectedly, he has now become the number one accomplice in the coup attempt.

"Xiao Yan, don't blame Grandpa Wu for being heartless. There's no turning back now. Just accept your fate!"

"No, I refuse to accept my fate..."
