Chapter 329: The script wasn't written like that

The three days passed quickly, and they were very relaxing and enjoyable for Zhou Ming and the others, because they spent two days playing mahjong and going shopping and listening to concerts, and they also enjoyed the seafood feast at Fisherman's Wharf, which brought together seafood from all over the world.

In contrast, Tang An and the others had a much more difficult time. They sat in their room every day, on tenterhooks, waiting for news from Zhou Ming. No doubt they were waiting for news of Zhou Ming and their move on the shares of Tang Bank . But in the end, all they got were news of Ming and Ming's friends eating, drinking and having fun. This undoubtedly drove them crazy. They couldn't figure out at all what Ming and Ming's friends had that they didn't.

On the morning of the fourth day, Tang An sat in the living room of his villa, his eyes vacant and his face marked by heavy dark circles under his eyes. It was clear that he had not slept well.

In fact, it was true that Tang An had not slept well for more than just one night. He had not slept well for any of the past three days.

Yesterday was the last day in theory. Tang An thought that if there was no movement during the day, there should be movement at night. However, he waited all night and the phone never rang, which made him want to collapse.

In the morning, Wood got up and, looking at Tang An's half-dead appearance, said, 'Zhou Ming hasn't heard from them yet, has he? I've told you before, if they were going to make a move, they would have done it during the day. It's very unlikely that they'll make a move at night.'

Tang An was puzzled and said with a distorted face, 'But why is that? Why aren't they acting? Are they all idiots?'

'Don't think about it. You're thinking about Zhou Ming and their business and you're going to think yourself into becoming mentally disabled. Go rest. Don't forget that the result about the capital should come out today. That's the most important thing!' Wood told him.

Tang An was shocked by the words and came to his senses. Then he went back to his room to sleep. Wood shook his head helplessly. In fact, his situation was not much better. These past three days have taken a lot out of him. The bottom line is that he also finds Zhou Ming's behaviour pattern incomprehensible. Could it be that he has guessed wrong and no one is interested in Tang Dynasty Bank?

Wood laughed at himself when he thought of this question. Tang Dynasty Bank is a fortune that makes families like Rockefeller and Morgan drool, so how could anyone not be interested? This is just as ridiculous as saying a butcher is a devout Buddhist.

So is he manipulating something behind the scenes that none of us have grasped? After all, he has never been able to monitor his own phone calls, but what kind of tricks can he play when all the shares and assets of the Tang Dynasty Bank are firmly under surveillance?

Wood felt his head about to explode as he pondered these questions. However, unlike Tang An, if a problem remained unanswered after much thought, he would not dwell on it, lest he become brain-damaged. Not to mention that today is already the fourth day. As soon as the results from Hong Kong City come in, proving that Tang Ran and the others have indeed transferred 30 billion in funds from Tangren Bank, he will be able to send them to hell for good!

Wood and Tang An were both driven to insanity, but God naturally gave them face. At 2pm on the fourth day, Wood received a call from the family saying that the flow of funds in Kong City had been sorted out and crucial evidence had been obtained. This evidence could prove that the 30 billion yuan of funds had indeed been transferred out of the Tang Dynasty Bank and ultimately back to the United States, where it was deposited into ten accounts opened in the names of companies such as Lin Yang Investment, Si Ming Investment and Jin Ming Fund.

On hearing the news, Tang An jumped up happily: 'Great! As long as we have this evidence, we will have sufficient grounds to convince the entire board of directors, and then get Zhou Ming and Tang Ran out of Tangren Bank!'

Wood also let out a sigh of relief: 'No matter what Ming Zhou and the others are planning, as long as you have this evidence, you will be invincible.'

'This is definitely the most wonderful news I've ever heard!' Tang An then grinned viciously, "I'm really looking forward to the shareholders" meeting tomorrow, and I'll definitely trample their reputation underfoot!'

On the day, Tang Bank held a shareholders' meeting. Tang An and Tang Jingming arrived early at the venue in the headquarters building. They both brought important documents with them. It was an old San Francisco San Francisco Overseas Finance News, the front page headline of which was that the Financial Crimes Investigation Unit of the Hong Kong City had cracked a huge money laundering case. It was reported that the money came from the offshore accounts of the Tang Dynasty Bank overseas.

Seeing the news, everyone was surprised. They asked incredulously, 'Is this true? But aren't we a legitimate banking institution? Why would we have to go all the way to Gangcheng to launder money?'

Facing these questions, Tang An and Tang Jingming pointed out indignantly: 'Why? It's It's because of greed. Tang Ran is not originally from our Tang family, so of course she doesn't have any sense of responsibility or belonging to the family. She only wanted to become the leader so that she could take over the family wealth, and now she has done just that!'

'In In fact, I'm not surprised Tang Ran would do this. Even when the clan leader was being elected, I had questioned this possibility. However, for some reason, our clan association gave up so many outstanding young people in the clan and ultimately chose an outsider. This is was undoubtedly a mistake, but perhaps at the beginning of the decision, someone just decided like this for their own selfish reasons!

' There may be thousands of reasons, but one thing we must be sure of is that Tang Ran is no longer suitable to be the chairman of Tang Bank. She must surrender all her shares and management rights in the bank. In addition, Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are also responsible for this, and they must also surrender their shares! An and Tang Jingming incited the shareholders at the meeting to become enraged, shouting, 'Tang Ran, get out of Tang Dynasty Bank! Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin are the scum of the family!'

Of course not everyone wanted Tang Ran and the others to leave Tang Bank, but now faced with the evidence that Tang An had produced, the others could not refute it in the slightest, and in the end they could only go with the flow.

Soon it was time. It was about 8:30 a.m., the time for the shareholders' meeting to begin. As the chairman of the board, Tang Ran led Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin in at the front of the room.

As as Tang Ran and the others entered the venue, there was an instant hush, and some people below were even whispering and chatting.

'I can't believe they still have the face to convene this shareholders' meeting? I'm afraid they don't know that they have secretly transferred the bank's funds to Hong Kong City to launder money and then transferred it back to their pockets? Otherwise, how could they be so shameless? People still have to have some face!'

'It's true that you can't know a person's heart just by knowing their face. It seems that such a simple and pretty little girl is so greedy. the wealth the chairman has isn't enough for her?'

'I don't think it was Tang Ran's idea. After all, she's just a girl. She's not even a member of the Tang family, and she'll be easily satisfied with so much wealth. But now that things have turned out like this, there must be someone else who is dissatisfied. So You should also think about who put Tang Ran in that position and what his motives were.'

'It was Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin. What a pair of old bastards! I originally thought that they were the leaders with the highest family prestige, but I never imagined that they were the masterminds behind the scenes. I really misjudged them.'

Listening to Zhou Ming's words and my words are like a scolding, which makes Tang An and Tang Jingming feel very useful. Tang An even grinned and shouted in his heart: scold some more, just let those bastards up there hear how much they are not appreciated!

Tang An looked up and scanned the stage, but he couldn't see Zhou Ming's figure. This made him feel a little surprised, but then he thought disdainfully: That guy must have gotten some news beforehand and was afraid to face the anger of the shareholders' meeting, so he hid. What a coward! But never mind, our goal is to get you to leave Tang Dynasty Bank, and as for personal grudges with you, I will deal with them after I take over the bank!

Tang An thought to himself, then he stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet before saying, 'Regarding today's shareholders meeting, I have some very important news to announce. I hope that Chairman Tang Ran can prepare himself mentally.'

Tang An spoke with his chest puffed out, his eyes fixed on Tang Ran, confident in his words.

However what he didn't expect was that Tang Ran said, 'No matter what Vice Chairman Tang An has to say, please hold it until later, because I have something more important to announce.'

Faced with Tang Ran's words, Tang An and everyone else laughed heartily. Tang Jingming even said to her, 'Chairman Tang, I advise you to let Tang An speak first, otherwise whatever you have to say will become a joke!'

After Tang Jingming, other shareholders also mocked: 'Yes, Chairman Tang, I don't think you've quite grasped the situation. It would be better if you let Tang An speak first. Whatever it is, I think whatever he says will be more important. It would be very embarrassing if you spoke first.'

With the support of with the support of almost all the shareholders, Tang Anyang stood there with his head held high, confidently looking at Tang Ran and Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin on the stage. At this moment, Tang Anyang felt like a general with a million army, commanding a crucial battle. After gaining the upper hand, there is nothing like the feeling of looking down on one's defeated opponent.

However Tang Ran paid no heed to the uproar below and stood up with the microphone in her hand. 'What I have to say is very simple. I no longer feel that I am suitable for the position of chairman of the board and so I would like to submit a request to the shareholders' meeting to resign as chairman of Tangren Bank and also hand over all the shares I hold to someone who is more capable. I hope everyone can approve.'

As these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned. They looked up at Tang Ran in a daze, as if they still hadn't reacted to what had happened.

However before the shareholders could react, Tang Ran repeated himself, and this time Tang Jingsheng and Tang Huiyin also stood up and said, 'Like Chairman Tang Ran, we also feel that we are no longer suitable for any position in Tangren Bank, so we also hope to leave the board of directors and hand over our shares to more capable people.'

Tang An and Tang Jingming all looked up at the stage in disbelief. Their hearts were screaming: No, that's not what the script says!
