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 hired by Chu's father from outside was demoted to vice president. He was also a proud and capable man, so 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 seat 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 marital 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 get started." The person who spoke was Chu Tongguang, who is now the acting chairman, sitting at the head of the conference table, and 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: "Today's board meeting is held. The main purpose of inviting several chairmen to come is to hope that you can help with verification."
"What kind of evidence?" Chu Hong's father-in-law asked knowingly, and sang a double act with Chu Tongguang.
"My eldest brother is gone, and we are all very sad, but such a large company must continue to operate 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? Why didn't I know?" Chu Shang, who was silent, suddenly opened his mouth and answered 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 living 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 about this because I don't want to hide it from you. It's just that I never thought that there would be a day when the will would need to be made public. I always believed that my eldest brother could survive. Who knows what will happen to me?"
I hope my eldest brother finally passes away." Chu Tongguang said and started to feel sad again.
Faced with Chu Tongguang's hypocrisy, Chu Shang was unmoved and asked persistently: "So when and where did my dad make the will? My dad has always been in good health. He has a full physical examination every year, and the results of the physical examination are very good.
Health, he wouldn’t 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? Are you suspecting us of forging a will?" Chu Hong couldn't hold back his temper and asked angrily, slapping the table.
"I am suspicious, but I have no evidence, so you don't have to be guilty and question me with bluff." Chu Shang directly exposed Chu Hong's guilty conscience.
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 answer 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. My father was listening to his second uncle's work report, and 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: "Item 5 of Article 17 of the "Succession Law" stipulates that a testator may make an oral will in a critical situation. The oral will should be witnessed by more than two witnesses. After the critical situation is resolved,
, if the testator can make a will in written or recorded form, the oral will will be invalid."
"Thank you." After Chu Shang finished the consultation, he looked at Chu Tongguang: "Second uncle, you have heard it, too. The oral will my father made when his life was in danger became invalid after he was rescued and regained consciousness.
Already."
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 the second uncle mean that my dad's written will was made in these five minutes?" Chu Shang
He 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?"
