Chapter 489: Lawyer Song who likes to popularize the law
An's Group.
After An Boyuan's death, An's Group has been leaderless. If An Tingnuan wants to be the new leader, he needs legitimate inheritance rights to convince shareholders.
So the day after An Boyuan was buried, she couldn't wait to convene a shareholders' meeting, saying that she would read An Boyuan's will in public and ask shareholders to certify it.
The shareholders were surprised that An Boyuan had left a will. Didn't he die of a sudden heart attack? Why did he leave a will? What was in the will and how the inheritance was divided? The shareholders wanted to know.
Agree to come and participate.
It was rare for the shareholders to arrive early. When they arrived, An Tingnuan had not arrived yet, so everyone began to whisper and speculate on how An Boyuan would divide the inheritance.
"The inheritance should be divided equally between my wife and two daughters," one shareholder said.
"That's not necessarily the case. The eldest daughter of the An family had a bad father-daughter relationship with Mr. An during his lifetime, so Mr. An may not leave her an inheritance." Another shareholder had a different view.
"I agree with Director Chen's analysis. The relationship between father and daughter is bad. Miss An also had a lawsuit with An's before, causing An's heavy losses," said the third director.
"There are no fathers and sons in the shopping mall. Yang Xi plagiarized Miss An's work. Miss An sued her and An. There is nothing to argue with. Privately, I think their father-daughter relationship is not as bad as the rumors say. Director An's
Aren’t the eldest daughters and son-in-law taking care of everything after death?” the fourth director retorted.
The fifth director nodded, turned his head and asked the other director beside him: "Director Wang, what do you think? You are the only one of us who works at Anshi. Do you have any inside information?"
This person named Director Wang is a vice president of An's and the mentor that An Tingnuan followed when he first started working at An's. He is considered to be a director who is more supportive of An Tingnuan.
"Who else but the lawyer can know such a confidential matter as the will? Don't make wild guesses. We'll find out soon when the lawyer comes to announce the will." Vice President Wang smiled slightly and did not express his opinion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and it was the lawyer, mother and daughter Ye Lishu and An Tingnuan who came in together.
As soon as the three people came in, the shareholders stopped talking, sat up straight, and stopped gossiping about the complicated relationship of Anjia.
"Good morning, uncles." An Tingnuan was always so polite in front of the elders.
Shareholders responded with smiles.
An Tingnuan took the temporary position of chairman and sat down at the main seat in the conference room. Ye Lishu sat in the first seat on her right, while the lawyer stood behind An Tingnuan.
The lawyer who came today was none other than Cheng Ming, who had served as Yang Xi's defense lawyer. He was holding a briefcase in his hand, which contained An Boyuan's will. When An Tingnuan said it was time to start, he took the will
Come out and read it out.
"Dear uncles, my father passed away suddenly. My mother and I are very sad and still cannot accept this fact. An's was my father's lifelong effort. As his daughter, I have the responsibility and obligation to run An's on his behalf.
So I have two purposes for inviting my uncles here today. One is to witness the announcement of my father’s will, and the other is to discuss how to save the group’s deteriorating stock market. This is related to the vital interests of all uncles. I hope that the uncles can work together with me to jointly
Get through the current difficulties.”
An Tingnuan's words were very beautiful and there were no flaws. The shareholders were also more concerned about the will and nodded one after another, expressing their willingness to certify the reading of the will for An Tingnuan.
"Thank you, uncles." An Tingnuan nodded in greeting and then motioned for Cheng Ming to read out the will.
Cheng Ming had already made preparations. He took out a sealed brown paper bag from his briefcase, opened it in public, and took out An Boyuan's will.
"I, Cheng Ming, am the attorney appointed by Mr. An Boyuan for his will. Next, I will represent Mr. An Boyuan and read out the contents of the will he made during his lifetime." Cheng Ming cleared his throat and began to read.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth and before he could read the first word, the door of the conference room was slammed open, and a bang interrupted the reading of the will.
The shareholders subconsciously looked toward the door and saw three more people walking in from the outside. The leader was naturally the eldest lady of the An Group and the wife of the CEO of the Shengshi Consortium, An Zhisu.
Seeing An Zhisu suddenly appear, An Tingnuan's eyes darkened.
Ye Lishu was more excited: "What are you doing here?"
An Zhisu ignored her and walked towards the conference table with Song Jia and Xiao Shi. Then he sat down casually on an empty seat and raised his chin towards Cheng Ming: "Lawyer Cheng, please continue, I want to do it too."
You know what will my father made during his lifetime."
After a night of rest and adjustment, An Zhisu was full of energy and fighting spirit today. She was dressed in a smart black suit, which gave her a proud aura.
"What does the will that Boyuan made have to do with you? He didn't like you when he was alive. Do you think he will leave you any inheritance?" Ye Lishu glared at her viciously.
"You're not my dad, how do you know he didn't leave it for me? Do you know what it means to break bones and connect tendons? No matter how often we don't get along, we are still father and daughter, but you, an outsider, how do you have the confidence to think that I
Did dad leave you an inheritance?" An Zhisu replied sharply.
"You are the outsider. Your father and I are legally married. Even if he leaves me nothing, his inheritance is half of mine." Ye Lishu hated An Zhisu for calling her an outsider.
An Zhisu clicked his tongue: "As illiterate as you are in the law, you need my lawyer to popularize the law for you. Lawyer Song, could you please help my little educated stepmother to popularize common sense about my country's inheritance laws?"
"Okay." Song Jiaren stood up with a smile. She likes to educate others about the law: "Listen, according to our country's inheritance law, if the deceased did not have a will during his lifetime, he will inherit according to the legal order of inheritance, that is, spouse, children
, parents. But if the deceased made a will during his lifetime, all the inheritance will be divided according to the will. To put it bluntly, if there is no spouse’s name in the will, the spouse has no right to inherit the inheritance.”
After Song Jiaren's legal education was over, An Zhisu asked gently: "Now do you still think you have the right to divide half of my father's inheritance? You have paid for a lawyer after all. Please consult a lawyer before speaking. Don't always let me
I have a lawyer to help you popularize the law, but you don’t pay my lawyer fees.”
Ye Lishu made a joke in public, her face turned red and she was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
An Tingnuan glanced at her mother displeased. She, as a mother, always liked to say such things that made her embarrassed.
"Sister, since you are here, let's listen to dad's will together. You have the right to sit here." An Tingnuan couldn't break up with An Zhisu in public. She had to maintain her role as a good sister.
"Oh, so you know I have rights, so why didn't you invite me? What are you afraid of?" An Zhisu asked with a smile, looking like a good sister.
An Tingnuan's face froze, of course she was afraid that An Zhisu would cause trouble.
"Okay, sisters, stop arguing. Let the lawyer read out the will." Vice President Wang couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to help An Tingnuan get through.
"Uncle Wang, we are not arguing." An Zhisu smiled at him and made a "please continue" gesture towards Cheng Ming.
An Tingnuan always felt that her smile was a bit scary, as if it was mixed with infinite ridicule.
