"Boss, here’s the situation," Dean Ma explained to Su Xuan in a low voice. "They have someone in high places..." It turned out the couple in the opposite bed were distant relatives of the company’s third-largest shareholder. They were also quite superstitious and had some master divine the fortune of every room in the hospital. Of the entire inpatient building, this room—the one Mr. Wang was in—was deemed the most auspicious. So, they leveraged their connection with the third-largest shareholder and forced their way into Mr. Wang’s room. "Oh," Su Xuan nodded, indicating he understood. He then asked Dean Ma, "If I asked you to clear them out now, could you do it?" Dean Ma still looked troubled. "Boss, you’re our hospital’s favorite shareholder, and we’re all happy to follow your lead. But you’re only the fifth-largest shareholder. It’s unlikely we can do anything about people connected to the third-largest shareholder, even if they’re just distant relatives." You have to consider the master before you beat the dog. That was the gist of it. Su Xuan asked quizzically, "Old Ma, you weren’t aware that the company’s shareholder rankings have changed?" "I haven’t heard about that!" Dean Ma replied. "Then how did you find out I’d climbed the rankings last time?" Su Xuan asked. "At the shareholders’ meeting, of course!" "And who calls the shareholders’ meetings?" "The largest shareholder always has!" Su Xuan’s mouth twitched. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looks is my own fault. After all, I am Kangnai’s largest shareholder. It seems I really do need to call a shareholders’ meeting and announce to everyone at Kangnai that I’m the top shareholder. Just then, a man in his sixties walked into the hospital room, his hands clasped behind his back. He glanced expressionlessly at Su Xuan and Dean Ma before walking toward the couple’s bed. "Uncle, you’re here!" "Uncle, please, sit down!" "Uncle, have some mulberries!" The moment the couple saw the old man, they began fawning over him as if he were the emperor himself. Dean Ma once again lowered his voice. "That’s the third-largest shareholder, Qiao Xinchao!" Without changing his expression, Su Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Don’t fuss over me," Qiao Xinchao said with a wave of his hand. He then looked at Dean Ma and said indifferently, "Little Ma, what’s going on here? Didn’t I tell you? Why are my relatives still sharing a room with someone?" Thıs content belongs to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Ugh..." Dean Ma felt incredibly wronged and helpless. When gods fight, it’s the mortals who suffer! What am I supposed to do? He had no choice but to point at Su Xuan and say to Qiao Xinchao, "This is Mr. Su Xuan, Kangnai’s fifth-largest shareholder. The patient is his teacher..." Only then did Qiao Xinchao turn to look at Su Xuan. "Oh, so it’s Young Su. I’ve heard of your accomplishments and even saw you on TV. A truly talented young man. Kangnai is fortunate to have you as its fifth-largest shareholder." "You flatter me," Su Xuan replied. So, Qiao Xinchao also has no idea the shareholder rankings have changed. I can’t really blame him. The stock acquisition this morning was so sudden and secretive it was like a covert plot. It’s likely that it wasn’t just Qiao Xinchao; none of the other shareholders probably know either. That’s because shareholders can transfer shares among themselves without the consent of others; the process is unrestricted. However, if shares are being transferred to a non-shareholder, it must be discussed in a meeting and requires the approval of at least half the shareholders to proceed. This is explicitly stipulated in the ’Company Equity Transfer Law.’ "There’s no need to be so modest, Young Su. After all, even I, the third-largest shareholder, hold you in high regard," Qiao Xinchao said. Su Xuan touched his nose. "You’re too kind." Qiao Xinchao then got straight to the point. "Look, Young Su, isn’t it rather inappropriate for two beds to be squeezed into one room? Could you perhaps move your teacher to a different room?" Before Su Xuan could even answer, the couple’s faces beamed with delight. They once again shot Su Xuan a contemptuous look. What happened to showing off with your kiwis? Go on, kick us out if you have the guts! You don’t dare, do you! Because you’re only the fifth-largest shareholder! And our Uncle Qiao is the third-largest shareholder! That’s two whole ranks above you! His authority must be two ranks higher as well! Feeling stupid now, huh? Hahaha! "Su Xuan..." Mr. Wang was no fool. He had already grasped the situation and knew Su Xuan was facing someone far more powerful than himself. To save Su Xuan from a difficult position, he raised a hand and tugged on his sleeve. "Su Xuan, I really don’t mind. Even the bathrooms at Kangnai are more luxurious than my living room. Any room is fine for me. Let’s just listen to them and move out." Wang Xuehan also gently took Su Xuan’s hand. "Su Xuan, I can take good care of my father no matter where we are. You don’t have to worry about us." Su Xuan just shook his head. Then, he slowly straightened up and lazily rubbed his face. Ah... It’s been a while since I’ve had to lay my cards on the table. I wonder if my skills have gotten rusty? He opened his mouth, just about to speak, when his phone suddenly rang. But it wasn’t just his phone—Qiao Xinchao’s rang too. It was a mass text message. Su Xuan glanced at his phone and chuckled. It was from the two elderly men from this morning. The message stated that they were officially retiring and immigrating overseas. After careful investigation and consideration, they had decided to transfer all their shares to Su Xuan. As of now, Su Xuan was the new largest shareholder of Kangnai. "This... This..." Staring at his phone screen, Qiao Xinchao’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably. A few seconds later, a wide grin split his face. He strode over to Su Xuan and enthusiastically shook his hand, his voice filled with utter reverence. "Boss Su, congratulations! Congratulations on becoming the company’s largest shareholder! I wonder if you would do an old man like me the honor of having dinner tonight? I’ve been wanting to share a meal with you for the longest time! I am in absolute awe of your accomplishments! Truly, in awe!" The couple in the opposite bed were completely dumbfounded and so frightened they nearly fainted. How could the tables turn so drastically in the time it took to read a text message? Su Xuan suddenly became Kangnai’s largest shareholder? Uncle Qiao needs to ask for the *honor* of having dinner with him? "Husband!" the woman cried, her trembling hand gripping his. "Is being the largest shareholder... really that big of a deal?" Her husband’s voice quivered as he replied, "The largest shareholder has absolute control. They have ultimate decision-making power and can even call a shareholders’ meeting to dismiss any other shareholder below them... including our Uncle Qiao!" "So... it really is that amazing!" the woman murmured. "Incredibly so!" he said. At this moment, Su Xuan said coolly to Qiao Xinchao, "You want to have dinner? It depends on my mood." Qiao Xinchao understood immediately. He spun around and snapped at the couple, "You two, hurry up and move to another room! What’s all this superstitious nonsense? Insisting on sharing a room with Boss Su’s teacher? Given your pathetic status, are you even worthy?"
