CHAPTER 541
While the mother and son duo were busy touring the Li mansion, another pair of mother and child were having a tough time.
Lin Ying and Bai Ming were looking for quick ways to get Bai Ming everything needed for the CEO position. They had no idea why it was taking so long but they also did not complain too much.
For anything, it gave them time to pull more people to their side. But it was not easy at all.
"Sigh. I have talked with Mr Sun," Lin Ying said.
"Really? What did he say? Is he willing to join our side?" Bai Ming's eyes lit up just from hearing those words.
She instantly scooted closer to her mother on the couch.
Lin Ying's heart sank even more sewing how hope brightened up in her precious daughter's eyes. The same hope that she was about to crush with her words.
"No luck, sweetheart," she slowly shook her head.
"Ugh!" Bai Ming let out a frustrated sound from her lips.
Anger was evident on her face. Mr Sun was the most important member of the board. But weirdly, he supported no one and nobody could do a single thing about it
He held more power.
"Why? Did you not give him enough money? What was his bargain?" Bai Ming questioned.
"I did all that sweetheart. But he would not bulge. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen," Lin Unvoiced out her worries.
"And that is why we are looking for solutions now, mum. We can't loose to her and her mother. This is our I lay option for wining the forthcoming battle," Bai Ming stated with determination.
Lin Ying sighed and nodded. What her daughter said is indeed the truth. If anything, this was their only card to wining the game Bai Renxiang could be paying soon.
Once Bai Ming becomes CEO, all power will be theirs. They can easily wipe out those that will be a threat to them or make them submit to their rule.
That way, when Bai Renxiang comes knocking on the gates of Bai Jewellries with trouble, they would be able to easily tackle her.
"Ah! We almost forgot," Lin Ying instantly snapped from her train of thoughts. "Your grandmother. What has she said about her own part of the shares? There has been no progress since the wedding."
Bai Ming clicked her tongue as another wave of frustration washed over her. Lin Ying sensed her daughter's feelings and placed a hand in her(Bai Ming) palm.
"What is the matter, dear? Did anything happen?" She asked.
"Everything happened, mum," Bai Ming answered and sighed dejectedly.
"Tell me. What is it?" Lin Ying was getting anxious due to their situation and her daughter's lack of straightforward reply was not helping it calm down.
"There will be no shares," Bai Ming finally dropped the bomb. Send as her mother did not get it yet, she sighed and added. "There is no shares because grandma can't give them to me."
"WHAT?!" Lin Ying shouted in both shock and confusion.
"Lower your voice, mom. Do you want someone to hear us?" Bai Ming quickly cautioned her mother whule her eyes darted around the big living room and all route leading there.
"I am sorry. But Why? Is she backing out if her promise or what?" Lin Ying asked in a relatively lower voice.
"It is not that. Without anythung, grandma really wants me to have those shares because she believes I will bring much more wealth into the family and the company," Bai Ming said.
"Then what is the problem now? Why the sudden change of plans?" Lin Ying dropped another question while searching her daughter's eyes.
Sighing, Bai Ming shifted out to the edges of the couch so that her hands could reach the centre table near them. She picked up her glass and the wine bottle, poured herself some and took a few sips.
"Because she can't. Or rather she does not have the power to give me those shares," she replied to her mother's question.
"But she is the owner of those shares, right? Who else but her has the power to give put her shares?" Lin Ying thought out loud. The while thing was puzzling to her.
"Grandpa. It turns out that grandma and grandpa shares are joined in some kind of way. And grandpa has the full power to decide things like this. She agreed to this in the past and now it is backfiring on us," Bai Ming briefly explained things.
"Sigh. How do you know all these? Did she tell you?"
"No, she did not. I got to witness everything first hand between the two of them."
**Flashback**
Bai Ming went to the Bai mansion the previous day. She had waited long enough to hear about the giving of the shares from grandma Bai.
At times she would call but would not bring up the topic so as not to seem suspicious and impatient. But the old lady has not told her about the shares in any of those calls.
So, she decided to visit and use that as an opportunity to remind her. Everything was going well.
"Hahaha. I am always happy whenever you come to visit, Mingming. I miss you ever time and I honestly wish you could stay here so we can always chat like this, I've a nice cup of tea," grandma Bai said before signing. She said all that bit she knows that it is only her wishful thinking.
"I wished that too. But you know that by he distance from here to the command is quite far. It would not be easy for me," Bai Ming explained in her usual soft voice she only use on the old lady and the public.
"I can't slack off at work and I have to set a good example by always being punctual and diligent with work," Bai Ming added.
"I understand child. You are so thoughtful of the company. You will make a great leader," grandma Bai patted Bai Ming's hands on her lap and smiled.
"You always praise me, grandma," Bai Ming blushed.
"It is because you deserve all those praises, dear."
"Ahem! Grandma, speaking of good leader, there is something I would like to say to you," Bai Ming called her(grandma Bai) attention as she adjusted on the couch.
"Go on child. You can tell or ask grandma anything," grandma Bai gave the go ahead.
"Grandma, do you remember when we talked about me working hard to get the position of CEO in the company?" She asked.
"I do remember," grandma Bai nodded.
"Then, youbakso removed your promise ofbhekoung me achieve that goal by giving me the shares you own in the company, right?"
"Oh! My bad. Thank goodness youbrmeninded me child," grandma Bai's head finally clicked.
"It is alright, grandma," Bai Ming flashed the old lady a soft smile.
"I was having my lawyer to do the transfer paperwork. He called me yesterday that he was done and had them sent. I got busy with something else that I completely forgot to tell you. It must be because I am sorry getting old, haha," grandma Bai joked.
"Don't say that, grandma."
"Alright alright. Let me get those files so that we can get signing soon."
Saying that, grandma Bai went upstairs to get the files her lawyer has sent to her. When she came back they looked thoroughly through it together. Bai Ming was very satisfied with everything.
Just as they had only sighed the first page, the door clicked opened and in came grandpa Bai. They both looked up to see him looking at them.
The smile the old man has on his face slowly after taking notes of the file. He put two and two together and he instantly realized what was going on.
"What do you think you are doing, Fenhua?" Grandpa Bai asked in a low dangerous voice as he slowly took steps toward them.
"It has nothing to do with you, Muyang. This is between me and my granddaughter," grandma Bai answered nonchalantly before returning her gaze to the papers on the table.
"Don't tell me you are doing what I think you are doing."
"Fine. Then, I will not tell you."
"Fenhua!!" Grandpa Bai thundered startlung the two women. Bai Ming gulped in nervousness.
"What?" Grandma Bai fired back.
"Don't you dare sign over those shares to Bai Ming," He warned.
"You don't have the right to decided what I do and what I do not do with MY OWN shares."
"I have every right as far as it us to prevent you from regrets in the near future."
"Well guess what? I don't need your protection. Sign them, Ming," she ordered Bai Ming.
Bai Ming gulped and nodded. Just as she was about to continue moving the pen in the paper, it got snatched and tipping sounds followed. Grandpa Bai was ripping the papers apart.
"MUYANG!!"
