MR. TYCOON DARING WIFE (Book 3) Finish

Chapter 416 - This is a Mess

The silence in the room was deafening. No one had expected this outcome. Wu Yuntai grimaced at Woobin's infuriated expression. His eyes snapped to Lisa as if he was waiting for him to do something.

Kim Xingxing felt her heart drop to her stomach when she saw her name wedged between Jennie and Kim Jing. Her frightful eyes turned to Jennie as if pleading for her to change her vote.

Jennie originally wanted to vote for Wu Yuntai. It had been like this since the very beginning but such a thing would be outrageous. He had already gotten quite far by becoming the Vice President when his surname wasn't Kim. The company had always been in the hands of a Kim and there had not been a single CEO who didn't have the name.

There would be an outcry if Wu Yuntai came out on top. His only flaw was that he wasn't born in the family. Woobin might've desired for the young man to take over, especially when he had been by his side for a long time. But everyone knew such a thing would be impossible.

Kim Jing was favorable because he was a male who could continue the family name when his son was born. Kim Xingxing's child was not going to inherit the powerful name— that is, if she's not afraid of legally changing the name of her child.

Li Xuan swallowed. "It's a tie between Kim Jing and Kim Xingxing."

"Damn brat." Woobin ground his teeth, raising a hand midway to reveal the small, folded paper in his hand. Jennie's eyes widened.

"Grandfather—"

"That is enough." Woobin placed the paper into Li Xuan's hands who glanced at it before typing in the calculation. The presentation screen turned black before it flickered white again.

Jennie.

Kim Jing, Kim Xingxing.

Jennie frowned, "I have my own company to worry and manage over—"

"I have been training you to take this position your whole life. Your interests drifted to a different company and that is fine with me. You can do a merger or whatever else as you see fit." Woobin coldly responded. He wasn't speaking like a grandfather, but more of a President. 

His decision was final. Once a vote had been calculated, it couldn't be retracted. "Since JRJ is on the rise and it's doing exceptionally well for a newly established company, but you have to realize, it will take decades for it to reach the level of Kim Corporation. You will do well here. You've acted as my consultant, learned the ins and outs of running this company, and you secretly worked here on your free time before it was consumed by JRJ."

"I will not abandon my company." Jennie scowled, "For heaven's sake, it's my name backward!"

"I never said you have to abandon it." Woobin briefly glanced at Wu Yuntai who didn't seem surprised or bothered by the fact that he didn't become CEO. A man could only dream so far...

"You can spend your free time in that company, but Kim Corporation will be your top priority."

Jennie bit her bottom lip. She knew nothing she would say or do can change his mind. A small murmur came from Wu Yuntai, so quiet, she thought it was the sound of the air-cond.

"Think of your children." Wu Yuntai kept his voice barely audible. Only him, Woobin, and Jennie heard his words.

"Your eldest will most likely inherit Lisa's position, your middle will inherit JRJ, and what will be left for your youngest? Will they receive nothing?" Wu Yuntai wisely advised her, glancing at her stomach before raising his eyes to stare into her eyes. Their conversation was hushed and he was wise enough to keep it among the three of them.

Jennie quietly said, "Who's to say I will have three kids—"

"Your husband is Lisa, of course, he'll want more than two." Wu Yuntai responded with a slight muse. He glanced towards Lisa's way and realized the man was drinking vinegar with his venomous gaze. He straightened his suit and sat up taller.
