C1810 Another Village on the Way Back(part I)
Anxiety, silence! These two words were the most realistic description of the current situation! The large room was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping was deafening. The only sound left in the room was the sound of a paper knife slicing a brown paper bag.
Salad, salad! One after another, this sound made everyone's heart clench in their throats. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. This was especially true for Dan Tongzhen. At this moment, he clenched his fists so tightly that his eyes turned red!
What kind of existence was the Huang American branch? Not only was it the integration of Li Kaize's life and blood, it was also a massive entity with a market value of tens of billions of dollars! No matter who it was, to be able to master this company, they would instantly become one of the top people in the world. As for unicorns who had already changed their wills, their success or failure depended on it!
"The seal of the will is complete and has not yet been broken. If you have no doubt, we shall now ask the two officials of the notary's office to verify the will. " Mr. Dong slowly took out a few thin pages from his brown paper bag and raised them in the air. Then he turned to Li Qiushui and Lin Bai and asked doubtfully.
Li Qiushui's heart tightened as she turned to look at Lin Bai, only to see that Lin Bai still had no desire for anything. He could only grit his teeth and nodded his head heavily, "I have no other doubts. Please proceed with the notarization process."
When the two officials from the notary's office heard this, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, they turned their heads to where Dan Tongzhen was, turned the will over and over a few times, took out some ultraviolet lights and other things, and pretended to verify. Then, they chuckled and said, "There are indeed no changes to this will."
"Very good." Hearing this, Lawyer Dong nodded and looked at Lin Bai and Li Qiushui tentatively, saying slowly, "Miss Li, Mr. Lin, if you have no doubts about the will, may I begin reading it?"
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Lin Bai, who had been silent ever since he entered the office, suddenly stood up before Li Qiushui. He said with a smile, "I wonder if you could let me read the will?"
When he saw Lin Bai speak, his heart tightened. Feeling that something was not right, he immediately smiled and said to Lin Bai, "Mister Lin, since the will has been examined by the notary's office, I think there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's not right. I'm the son-in-law who left home. I should be able to check my will." Lin Bai chuckled. Then, he looked at Dan Tongzhen with a meaningful gaze and continued, "Furthermore, the will is something extremely personal. No matter what you say, the sole manager is an outsider. I think it's best for you to avoid it, right?"
"As the vice president of the company, I have the responsibility and obligation to witness this moment." When Dan Tongzhen heard this, she became even more nervous. She turned around and looked at Lawyer Dong and the officials from the notary's office for help. She asked slowly, "What do you think of Lawyer Dong and the two of you?"
"The testamentary certificate this time is not ordinary. The single manager's words are very reasonable. I think the single manager is not an outsider. It's best to stay here." Hearing these simple and honest words, Lawyer Dong and the two officials from the notary office looked at each other for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Then it's up to you." Lin Bai shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, then said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "If you can get an outsider like the Single Manager here, why can't you let me examine the will? If not even that, I think we have the right to refuse to accept the contents of this will and to believe that there is something in it. "
"Since Mr. Lin and Miss Li do not trust us so much, please inspect them." After Dan Tongzhen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched for a moment. After which, his face revealed a savage smile as he slowly spoke. He had already seamlessly tidied up the matter of the will. He really didn't believe that even if it was Lin Bai or Li Qiushui, there would be any changes.
Furthermore, from his point of view, Lin Bai simply wasn't willing to make a move for no reason, and had only made things worse for himself. Using their own mouths to say that Huang and the American branch would eventually belong to them would only make them more embarrassed.
"Then Mr. Lin and Miss Li will examine the will." Lawyer Dong looked at the two officials in the notary's office after he heard this. Seeing that they didn't object, he raised his hand and handed the wills to Li Qiushui and Lin Bai.
The office was brightly lit. Not only that, there were also cameras installed in a few inconspicuous corners. No matter how one looked at it, one would not be able to escape the surveillance cameras.
Looking at the few thin pages of paper in Lin Bai's hands, he crossed his legs in satisfaction and looked at Li Qiushui and Lin Bai with a smile that was not a smile. He was ready to watch the next show. He was not worried that Lin Bai would destroy the will, because if Lin Bai destroyed the will, then the two officials from the notary's office who had already read the will would simply declare that the Huang American division belonged to him. He did not believe that Lin Bai would make such an irrational decision.
Although he had already made up his mind to win, after the will fell into Lin Bai's hands, he still felt a burst of nervousness. Not only him, even Li Qiushui's heart was in her throat. She really couldn't understand, if Lin Bai really wanted to help, then why hadn't he made a move until now? Furthermore, she did not understand. Even if she were to obtain the will now and examine it once more, how could it change the situation in the future?
From her point of view, if Dan Dan really dared to be so unbridled, he had definitely made sufficient preparations to deal with everything. He would absolutely not let Lin Bai find even the slightest flaw in his will.
Could it be that Lin Bai was wasting his time, and he had actually left something behind?! But the moment this thought appeared, it was immediately dispelled by Li Qiushui. Lin Bai had been staying with her for the past few days and had never contacted anyone. Besides, he had no other friends in the United States other than Lei Meng, so it was impossible for him to have other people secretly helping him.
However, to everyone's surprise, after Lin Bai took the few pages, he did not do anything abnormal. He just flipped through them, mumbled something, and passed it to Lawyer Dong. From beginning to end, the entire process only took less than a minute. Other than looking at the documents, there were no other movements.
However, even though Lin Bai's expression remained calm after he finished reading the will, he was still pleasantly surprised to find that there was a hint of defeat on Lin Bai's face. His appearance was completely different from his previous confident expression.
Brat, you are asking for trouble, how can you break a trap that I was so meticulously plotting?! Looking at Lin Bai's expression, Dan Tongzhen couldn't help but reveal a proud smile as he silently cursed in his heart.
"Mr. Lin, can you see it clearly? Do you have any more questions? " After receiving the will from Lin Bai, Lawyer Dong smirked. He glanced at Li Qiushui half-mockingly and half-spectatingly, and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's expression clearly darkened, as if he was on the verge of collapsing. He stretched out his trembling fingers to support his forehead and slowly said, "Look carefully, there are no other doubts, please start the notarization of the will."
"Lin Bai, what's wrong?" Seeing Lin Bai's expression, Li Qiushui's heart couldn't help but tighten. She was somewhat confused about the current situation. She didn't know whether Lin Bai did this because of what he did, or because he felt guilty for not being able to help her.
"Qiushui, I'm sorry …" Hearing Li Qiushui's words, Lin Bai lightly sighed and slowly said, "I'm going to burden you."
After wasting so much effort, the end result was still the same! After hearing Lin Bai's words, Dan Tong could not help but laugh coldly. He straightened his back and stared at the will in Lawyer Dong's hands, waiting for the outcome to be determined.
"Lin Bai, it's alright, you don't have to take it to heart." No matter what the result was, as long as he had you and his father, everything would be enough! Even if we lose the company, we can still fight back! " Hearing Lin Bai's words, Li Qiushui's expression couldn't help but dim for a moment. Then she squeezed Lin Bai's hand and comforted him in a low voice.
But even so, everyone could see that Li Qiushui's expression was very downcast, and her small hand seemed to have lost its temperature, dropping below the freezing point. It had to be known that the Huang American branch was the result of Li Kaize's hard work for most of his life. It was also the result of his hard work and hard work.
Fight, turn the tables? You all must be fooling yourselves. The era of opportunity has passed, and nothing has been able to survive the financial crisis. Wanting to recreate a giant like the current Huang and the United States branch was simply a pipe dream! These words, you guys just treat them as words for ghosts to listen to. From today onwards, I will be the one to tell the truth!
His body also sat up straighter and straighter, as if he was writing. His entire body revealed an excited expression that was difficult to shape, and the light that shot out from his eyes was so bright that it seemed as if it was going to burn someone.
"Very well, since no one has any doubts, I shall announce the will." Lawyer Dong winked at Dan Dan, then slowly lifted the will and announced in a clear voice, "I'm Li Kaize, male, born in 1968. When I made my will, I was not disturbed by any external factors, and I was in good spirits. "I own 80% of the shares in the Huang and the United States branch. After careful consideration, I have voluntarily decided to make the following will …"
"The effective date of this will is that I have died or that force majeure has prevented me from exercising my decision-making power over the United States branch of Hwang. "In the event of either of these two situations, I shall present to you my own shares in the US Huang branch..."
