Chapter 827 Preference

Jiangsheng Group.

Ten past nine.

Except for Gu Jingyan, all the participating shareholders were present, and only the seat in front of Lin Shu was empty.

Gu Qinghai glanced at Gu Jingyan's seat, wiped his sleeves and looked at the time.

The director next to him immediately understood and coughed lightly and said, "Lin Shu, we have waited long enough. When will your boss arrive? The entire board of directors is waiting for him. No matter how confident you are, you can't be so undisciplined, right?" ?”

Lin Shu raised his eyes and said, "Mr. Gu was kidnapped. I applied to the board of directors to postpone the meeting."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, and then a few low laughs came one after another, followed by a big burst of laughter.

"Assistant Lin, today is not April Fool's Day."

"Kidnapping? A police movie? Or young people can play it."

"Isn't it because he is unsure and afraid of losing, so he doesn't dare to come?"

…

"Quiet," Gu Qinghai knocked on the table before the sound gradually stopped.

He glanced at Lin Shu, "I don't need to say more about the nature of this meeting. It's not a force majeure. No one has the right to stop it. There are still...three minutes left before the entry ban. He can come as he pleases. If not, Come, according to the rules, I will default to him abstention."

"Who's going to abstain?"

An old female voice came from the gate. Gu Qinghai's heart sank. He turned around and saw Mrs. Gu appearing at the door of the venue with Uncle Qin's support.

He stood up hurriedly, "Mom, didn't you say you weren't feeling well and wouldn't come?"

The old lady said calmly, "Don't worry, come and take a look."

After saying that, he looked around, "Where's Jingyan?"

Lin Shu almost shed tears, "Chairman, something happened to Mr. Gu. He may have been kidnapped. I can't contact him now."

The people from Gu Qinghai's group immediately said, "You were seen driving Mr. Gu here this morning. How long has it been? You said he was kidnapped? In the clear sky, who will come to the company to kidnap him? Assistant Lin is really good at joking."

Gu Qinghai whispered, "Mom, Jingyan, this kid, likes to hide because of stage fright when he was a child. I saw that he was restless in the past two days. Maybe he is just like when he was a child, hiding out of fear. What if he is at home? It’s okay, but there are so many people waiting in the company, so we can’t give him special privileges without rules.”

The old lady pursed her lips and looked at him with a look that made Gu Qinghai feel scared.

"Do you think Lin Shu would lie about something like this?"

"He is Jingyan's man, and he will definitely try his best to help Jingyan delay time."

The old lady clenched her hands tightly, "Did Lin Shu lie? Call the police for confirmation and then you will know. You arbitrarily concluded that Jingyan disappeared intentionally without checking?"

Gu Qinghai paused and said in a deep voice, "Mom, Jiangsheng is not just our Gu family's company, it also involves the interests of so many shareholders. I terminated this meeting for a 'possible' reason. I broke the rules. What will the shareholders do?" Think? Even if you prefer Jingyan, you have to take the overall situation into consideration."

The old lady looked coldly, "Preference? If I really preferred him, would Jiang Sheng still have a place for you? On the day your brother passed away, I should have directly inherited Jiang Sheng under Jingyan's name! When you asked to separate the family and start a business, your brother In the case of a shortage of funds, R&D funds were allocated to you. You have not made a name for yourself, and he has placed you in a position in the company regardless of past grudges. Over the years, you have been getting higher and higher in the company. Do you think this is the case? Is it all your fault?”

Gu Qinghai froze with an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe that his mother would say such ugly things in public.

Gu Qinghai's throat was blocked, and his face gradually turned from pale to cold.

"Yes, in your eyes, I have never been as good as my eldest brother," he changed the topic and said coldly, "But after my eldest brother is dead, Jiang Sheng is no longer his world. You personally set the rules of the board of directors back then. I Now it’s just a matter of living up to your rules.”

After that, he glanced at the time and said, "There is one minute left. If Jingyan doesn't show up, I will declare him to abstain."

The old lady turned pale with anger. At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open and the police filed in.

The leading police officer said, "Hello, we are calling the police. There is a kidnapping case nearby. We need to call in the surveillance. Who is the person in charge?"

In an instant, the whole place was silent. The old lady's heart tightened and she whispered, "Lin Shu, take the police to call for surveillance."

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and left with the police.

It's really a kidnapping.

If this was a kidnapping, then the meeting would naturally not be held, because Gu Jingyan was not absent subjectively.

The corners of Gu Qinghai's lips tightened, with a worried look on his face.

He turned his head and found that the old lady did not follow the police downstairs. She stood there, looking at him expressionlessly. It was not until everyone in the conference room had left that she asked, "Jing Yan's Does the disappearance have anything to do with you?”

Gu Qinghai's heart sank, "Isn't it true? You have already convicted me in your heart, haven't you?"

The old lady pursed her lips and said after a long time, "It's better if it's not you."

Gu Qinghai stared at her leaving figure and made no move for a long time.

In the surveillance room, after watching the complete video, everyone felt very heavy, especially the old lady. Lin Shu found that her hands were shaking while watching the surveillance. She only tried her best to suppress her emotions to prevent herself from losing her composure.

The police obtained the license plate number and the appearance of the culprit and opened a case.

After coming out of the monitoring room, Gu Jingyang rushed over anxiously, "Lin Shu, how is my brother? Has he really been kidnapped?"

Lin Shu said, "The police are still investigating," he paused and then said, "Thank you for your help in contacting the old lady."

"That's my brother!" Gu Jingyang's eyes turned red, "No matter how much I hate him, I don't want anything to happen to him."

Lin Shu thought of the surveillance video, where Gu Jingyan was beaten and covered in blood, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"It will be fine. You have to take good care of the old lady. She is in poor health. She can't get into trouble again before Mr. Gu comes back."

Gu Jingyang said hoarsely, "I know."

She paused and said, "You call the Song family and ask Han Ruoxing to use the Song family's relationship to find him."

Lin Shu paused and whispered, "The wife was also dragged into the car by the kidnappers in order to save Mr. Gu. We have contacted the Song family."

Gu Jingyang was stunned, "You mean Han Ruoxing was also kidnapped in order to save my brother?"

"Yes."

Gu Jingyang felt a little complicated.

Lin Shu answered a phone call and left in a hurry.

In the van.

As soon as the two returned to their respective seats, the door was opened.

The three of them loaded the things into the car and were about to start the car when the boss of the store suddenly chased them out and said that the bill was not calculated correctly and that they seemed to have been undercharged.

The driver opened the car window a crack and frowned and asked in a low voice, "How much is missing?"

"I don't know yet. You have to take the things down and I'll add them again." The boss said, and his eyes quickly glanced into the car through the crack. It seemed that there were people in the back seat of the car.

The driver took out a hundred from his leather armor and threw it to him, "That's enough."

"What do you mean? I'm doing business here, not to blackmail people. Whatever it is, it's what it is. We don't want to make more money that goes against our conscience."

The driver was a little impatient, "That's it, we're in a hurry."

The boss said, "I can calculate the bill quickly, and it won't delay you for long."

The driver wanted to say something, but the domestic violence man suddenly said, "Let him calculate it. I just need to buy two more packs of cigarettes."

Then he got out of the car, opened the trunk, turned his head and smiled at the boss, "Order it."

The boss smiled honestly, said "Sorry for the trouble", and started to count.

The shop owner was only one seat away from them. Han Ruoxing couldn't help herself and wanted to ask for help.

Before she could move, Gu Jingyan's foot touched her.

In just a moment, Han Ruoxing calmed down.

Their hands and feet were tied, and the shop owner was alone, so he might not be able to help them. If she acted rashly, she would not only alert the enemy, but also might implicate others.

She could only suppress her emotions and continue to pretend to be unconscious.

After the boss counted, he smiled and said, "I'll charge you 23.80 less. I'll count it as 23. Do you have change?"

The domestic violence man exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly, "No."

"Then come with me to the store to get it."

The domestic violence man glanced at him, put out the cigarette butt, and suddenly took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed the shop owner's stomach fiercely. (End of this chapter)
