This is the second board meeting held by the Chu family after Chu's father suddenly became seriously ill. The last board meeting was held just after Chu's father was hospitalized. That time was to discuss who would temporarily manage the company as chairman. The board of directors
The vote was decided, and Chu Tongguang was finally appointed as acting chairman, and Chu Hong was promoted to general manager. It turned out that the professional manager Chu's father hired from outside was demoted to vice president. He was also a proud and capable man, and he was promoted to the general manager on the same day.
I handed in my resignation letter and left.
This time Chu's father had just been buried when Chu Tongguang held a board meeting to announce Chu's father's will during his lifetime. So not only the directors of the board of directors were present, but also the relatives and children of the Chu family.
They were all present. When Chu Shang and Cheng Xiran arrived, the conference table was already full of people, and a dark mass of heads was waiting for them.
There was only one place left for Chu Shang around the long conference table. Chu Shang walked over and sat down. Cheng Xiran, Xu Mingcheng and the lawyer sent by Song Jiaren from S City sat behind Chu Shang.
After Cheng Xiran sat down, she began to look at today's participants without any trace. The Chu family obviously accounted for two-thirds of the people. She looked at Chu Jing emphatically. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her cheeks were also swollen.
You can still clearly see the slap marks on it, the corners of the mouth are also broken, and there is a large band-aid on the forehead. In short, it is the word "tragic" in capital letters.
Tsk... Cheng Xiran felt hurt for her when she saw it. She was beaten badly by Pan Yang, but it was an unexpected surprise.
Pan Yang obviously did not come today. According to the plan, he was going to attend the board meeting on behalf of the Pan family. After all, the Pan family is also one of the directors of the Chu family company. If he came here on behalf of the Pan family, he would naturally focus on Chu Jing.
But there was such a scandal yesterday, and Pan Yang had no time to take care of himself, and had a big fight with Chu Jing. He was not sure what kind of beating he would get. How could he come to support Chu Jing? He was afraid that he could not wait to drag Chu Jing to get a divorce.
Pan Yang is missing. The person who will attend today's board meeting instead of Pan Yang is not someone else from the Pan family, but the general manager of the Pan family company. This is a professional manager hired by the Pan family and has no relationship with the Chu family.
, he will not easily take sides when the situation is unclear.
Cheng Xiran killed Pan Yang without any bloodshed, and also instigated the relationship between him and Chu Jing. It was not unscrupulous. Xu Mingcheng was so impressed that he also learned a trick from her.
"Shang Chu is here, everyone is here, let's start."
The person who spoke was Chu Tongguang, who is now the acting chairman. He was sitting at the head of the conference table. Sitting opposite him was Hu Xiuru.
Everyone in the Chu family couldn't wait for a long time. Chu Hong couldn't wait to say: "Second uncle, let's start."
Chu Tongguang nodded and said to several directors: "The board meeting is being held today. The main purpose of inviting several chairmen to come is to hope that you can help provide verification."
"What evidence?"
Chu Hong's father-in-law knew the truth and sang a double act with Chu Tongguang.
"My eldest brother is gone, and we are all very sad. However, such a large company must continue to operate in order to live up to my eldest brother's expectations, so today I invite you all to come and listen to my eldest brother's will, which can be considered as a public witness."
Chu Tongguang continued.
As soon as the words "will" were spoken, several directors not named Chu all showed expected expressions. Among them, Chu Hong's old father-in-law obviously knew about it and pretended to be surprised. His acting skills were really not good.
"When did my father make his will?
I do not know how?"
Chu Shang, who was silent, suddenly opened his mouth to answer Chu Tongguang's words.
Hu Xiuru snorted coldly: "You haven't lived with us since you were a child, and you have never been home since you grew up. Did you care about your father when he was alive?"
Chu Shang ignored her sarcasm at all, and just looked at Chu Tongguang persistently and said: "As far as I know, my dad suffered a sudden serious illness and fell into a coma at the time. He has been staying in the intensive care unit during his treatment in the hospital.
, I rarely wake up, may I ask my second uncle, when and where did he make the will?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Shang. I haven't told you this thing all the time. It's not because I want to hide it from you, but I never thought that there would be a day when the will would need to be made public. I always believed that the elder brother could survive it. Who knows that God will not bring it to light.
Hopefully, my eldest brother will finally pass away."
Chu Tongguang said and began to feel sad again.
Faced with Chu Tongguang's hypocrisy, Chu Shang remained unmoved and asked persistently: "So when and where did my father make the will?
My dad has always been in good health. He undergoes a physical examination every year and the results are all very healthy. He would not make a will early when he was in good health, would he?"
"Chu Shang, what do you mean by asking this question all the time? Do you suspect us of forging a will?"
Chu Hong couldn't hold back his temper anymore, slapped the table and asked angrily.
"I am doubting it, but I have no evidence, so you don't have to feel guilty and question me bluffingly."
Chu Hong suddenly became nervous: "You, you are talking nonsense, you are a thief with a guilty conscience, I am not a thief, you should stop spewing nonsense."
"Then tell me, when and where was the will made?"
Chu Shang went back to the question in a few words.
Chu Hong opened his mouth and said it: "Dad made the will verbally before he fell into coma, and it is in his office."
"oh."
Chu Shang nodded, accepted the answer, and then asked again before Chu Hong could relax: "Were there any lawyers present at the time?"
"There is no lawyer. Dad was listening to his second uncle's work report when he suddenly became seriously ill. Before he fell into coma, he explained the will to his second uncle."
Chu Hong said.
"So the second uncle was the only one present at that time?"
Chu Shang looked at Chu Tongguang.
Chu Tongguang nodded: "When the elder brother dictated the will, it was just me, but when the secretary came in, he also saw that the elder brother was talking to me."
Chu Shang looked at Chu's father's former secretary: "Then did you hear what my dad said to his second uncle at that time?"
The secretary's head was buried low and his voice was also low: "I, I heard words like a will."
"are you sure?"
Chu Shang asked again.
"Yes, sure."
The female secretary was obviously a little nervous.
Chu Shang nodded, turned around and asked the lawyer sitting behind him: "Lawyer Qin, is the oral will legally valid?"
Lawyer Qin gave a very professional answer: "Article 17, Item 5 of the "Succession Law" stipulates that the testator may make an oral will in critical circumstances.
An oral will must be witnessed by two or more witnesses.
After the critical situation is resolved, if the testator is able to make a will in written or recorded form, the oral will will be invalid."
"Thanks."
After the consultation, Chu Shang looked at Chu Tongguang: "Second uncle, you must have heard it too. The oral will my father made when he was dying became invalid after he was rescued and regained consciousness."
Chu Tongguang was obviously prepared for Chu Shang's attack, and said calmly: "You are right, after the eldest brother wakes up, his oral will will be invalid, but the eldest brother didn't wake up for a long time. The doctor said that he
His condition was not optimistic, so my eldest brother made a written will."
"If I remember correctly, it only took five minutes for my dad to wake up in the intensive care unit for the first time after being rescued. Does Second Uncle mean that my dad's written will was made during these five minutes?"
Chu Shang asked calmly.
Chu Tongguang nodded: "Yes.
It was dictated by my elder brother and written by me."
Chu Shang turned around and asked Lawyer Qin: "Is this kind of will valid?"
