LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 15:
Chapter 15: Forcing the Beautiful CEO Qin Ningbing Out!:
Upon hearing Shen Anyu’s question, He Ying respectfully replied, “Young Master, as per your instructions, we’ve quietly acquired sixty percent of Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company’s shares in the magic capital.”
“The moment the shareholders found out it was the Shen Consortium making the offer, they all agreed excitedly!”
As she spoke, a sense of pride filled He Ying’s eyes.
The Shen Consortium was a colossal entity that controlled trillions in wealth—a single move from it could shake entire markets. Those shareholders of Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company might be millionaires or even billionaires, but in front of the Shen Consortium, they were nothing more than ants.
How could they dare refuse?
Besides, the Shen Consortium would never treat them unfairly.
Each one of them was eager to be a loyal dog to the Shen Consortium.
And even more so, behind the Shen Consortium stood the terrifying thousand-year-old clan—the Shen family of Yanxia!
Even though Renshintang Pharmaceutical wasn’t a publicly listed company, the Shen Consortium could still take control with ease.
A company worth over ten billion might seem enormous to ordinary people, but in front of the Shen Consortium, it was nothing at all.
“Only sixty percent?” Shen Anyu frowned slightly. But before He Ying could speak, he remembered: “The remaining forty percent must be in the hands of Qin Ningbing and the second-largest shareholder, Wang Hai, right?”
Last night, he had instructed her not to alert those two—for now.
He Ying answered respectfully, “Young Master is wise. The remaining forty percent of the shares are indeed with major shareholder Qin Ningbing and second shareholder Wang Hai. Qin Ningbing holds around thirty percent, while Wang Hai holds the last ten percent.”
“This afternoon, Wang Hai is holding a shareholders’ meeting to force Qin Ningbing out.”
A smile appeared on Shen Anyu’s lips as he said, “What a coincidence.”
Wang Hai was a minor villain early in the novel Village Miracle Doctor. He was the owner of an investment company and the second-largest shareholder in Renshintang Pharmaceutical.
Qin Ningbing had insisted on developing the Ginseng Heart-Nourishing Pill, investing several hundred million. However, the research failed.
This failure had dealt a massive blow to the already struggling century-old Renshintang Pharmaceutical, which had been declining due to the rise of Western medicine in recent years.
In truth, Wang Hai had been sabotaging and holding back the company in secret. His goal was to seize control of Renshintang, push it to go public, and then profit from manipulating the stock, cashing out handsomely before withdrawing.
But Renshintang was Qin Ningbing’s family legacy—there was no way she’d agree.
For years, the two had battled openly and behind the scenes.
However, personal interest was always the most persuasive.
Tempted by Wang Hai’s promise of taking the company public, many shareholders sided with him, leaving Qin Ningbing increasingly isolated.
Running a proper business could never compare to making quick money through an IPO.
Especially in recent years, as the company declined due to competition from Western medicine, dividend payouts had dropped significantly.
Originally, in the novel’s plot, the Chosen One Xia Liu would help Qin Ningbing defeat Wang Hai, successfully develop the new drug, and win the beauty’s heart.
But now, it had become Shen Anyu’s opportunity.
“Xia Liu’s so-called Extraordinary Medical Skills? I already have a perfected replica.”
“As for Wang Hai—he’s just a clown. Nothing to worry about.”
Shen Anyu sneered coldly.
Even without those skills, with the immense power and wealth of the Shen family in Yanxia, dealing with Wang Hai would be as easy as crushing a grasshopper.
Supporting Renshintang’s revival? That would only take one sentence.
“Let’s go. Time to enjoy the show.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
…
At this moment, in the center of the magic capital, at the headquarters of Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company—
On the top floor conference room, a critical meeting was about to begin. One that would determine the fate of Qin Ningbing, the company itself, and potentially shift the balance of traditional Chinese medicine in all of Yanxia.
Wang Hai looked triumphant and spirited as he gazed around at the gathered shareholders and began to speak, “Fellow shareholders, in recent years, under Qin Ningbing’s leadership, Renshintang has fallen deeper into decline. Dividends have gotten smaller and smaller.”
“Just recently, the five-hundred-million-yuan investment in the Ginseng Heart-Nourishing Pill also failed in development.”
“I propose that we dismiss Qin Ningbing from her position as CEO!”
“She must give us an explanation—for all of us shareholders!”
At the head of the room, a stunningly beautiful woman sat, her expression cold as ice.
She was impossibly beautiful—every feature on her delicate face was flawless.
Wearing a custom-tailored business suit designed by a top Italian fashion master, her curvaceous figure was fully accentuated. It was an intoxicating sight.
Her long, slender legs were wrapped in black silk, her elegant feet resting on a pair of crystal stiletto heels.
An angel’s face with a devil’s body—without a single exaggeration.
But at this moment, the beauty was exuding an icy, frigid aura.
“Wang Hai, all these years you’ve been sabotaging things from the shadows—dragging us down.”
“Even in the failed research, there are traces of your interference!”
“Don’t think I don’t know!”
Qin Ningbing’s beautiful eyes turned icy as she glared at Wang Hai and said coldly,
“Who exactly is the one ignoring the interests of the shareholders? Who is it that’s acting recklessly for personal gain?”
“Wang Hai—you should be the one giving us all an explanation!”
Wang Hai smirked, his tone mocking, “CEO Qin, do you have proof?”
Qin Ningbing immediately fell silent.
If she had proof, she would’ve taken Wang Hai down long ago. But even after years of gathering evidence, all she had were hints and circumstantial signs.
Nothing conclusive.
Wang Hai grew even more arrogant. He stood up and looked around at the shareholders.
“Then let’s vote. Let’s see who supports you and who supports me.”
“Ladies first. CEO Qin, why don’t you start?”
There was not the slightest hint of respect in his voice—only mockery.
Qin Ningbing’s heart tightened.
But…
One second passed. Two seconds passed. Three seconds…
Several minutes passed.
Not a single person raised their hand to support Qin Ningbing.
The tide had turned.
Qin Ningbing’s beautiful, star-like eyes dimmed. She sighed softly, looked up at the ceiling, and a glimmering tear appeared in her eye.
“Hahaha! In the end, I still win!”
Wang Hai laughed wildly, feeling on top of the world.
Qin Ningbing was undoubtedly remarkable—a woman in her twenties, forced to take over suddenly after her father’s death, and still able to spar with a cunning old fox like him for several years.
But interest always prevails.
And in the end, he had won!
Once he took control of Renshintang, pushed it public, and exploited the market, he’d rake in billions. His net worth would soar.
Still, to put the final nail in the coffin for Qin Ningbing—and to prove how many people supported him—Wang Hai grinned and said,
“Fellow shareholders, I swear to you all, I’ll lead you to riches when we go public!”
“Now, cast your votes for me.”
Qin Ningbing didn’t even look anymore. It was pointless.
But she would never accept defeat.
Today might be a crushing loss—but one day, she would reclaim Renshintang at any cost.
Even if it meant mutual destruction.
A cold light flashed through Qin Ningbing’s beautiful eyes.
Yet—
One second passed. Two seconds…
Several minutes passed again…
Still, not a single sound. Not a single hand was raised.
Qin Ningbing frowned slightly and looked around.
What she saw made her eyes widen in disbelief. Her stunning face was filled with shock.
Because not a single person… had voted for Wang Hai either!
