Given the support that Li Zhiyun had with her from the shareholders who were always on her side, Han Lao had completely lost this time from wanting to place his son on the throne of the CEO of Han Industries.
Much less those people who would support him the total number of votes he would still get were comparably still less even when counted against that of Han Xiaowen and her mother.
So it was a tight slap on Han Lao's face.
But right now, he knew that there was nothing he could do other than to let things continue, there might still be some chance in the future, besides, he still had the support of the Wu family and the hidden power who had been helping with taking care of certain things.
Thinking of this, Han Lao continued to show an indifferent face in front of everyone.
'No matter what happens now, the company will still land in my hands and you will all be begging under my feet.'
He eyed everyone in the hall including Li Zhiyun and Han Xiaowen and the shareholders who were holding their smiles, obviously happy about his plan being of no apparent use now with the presence of Li Zhiyun.
Meanwhile, completely unaware of being retorted in the future, Li Zhiyun smiled as she glanced at Han Lao from the corner of her eyes.
Noticing that he had an indifferent look in his eyes, at first she felt a bit uneasy, but then knowing that the fellow didn't have anything to do and would be feigning right now, she discarded the thought and turned to the Board of Directors with a serious face.
"Since, this meeting was called out for electing the new leader of the company we will continue with it."
Hearing her words, the cabinet turned serious as many of them looked at the few members with disdain.
These were the few who were always supporting Han Xiaowen while she was in the position of the leader and had clearly despised those who were siding with Han Lao for just a few more benefits.
"Now, I want those who support the change of the leadership to raise their hands."
A cold sneer hung on her lips as she saw that there was only one person who had raised his hand.
Of course, one didn't need to know who it was.
Other than Han Lao, who could be it?
And just as she smiled she saw another hand bring raised, she glanced at the person and pursed her lips in amusement.
It was one of the underlying of Han Lao, she was not surprised to see this as well.
After a minute out of the 80 members who were present in the meeting, only about 8 people had raised their hands in support of changing the leadership of the company.
If according to what Han Lao had planned then the number might have been drastically different from what it currently was right now.
"AHEM"
Li Zhiyun cleared her throat and waved her hand.
"Alright, now those who don't want Han Xiaowen to leave the designation of the CEO of the Han Corporation."
In just a blink of an as soon as she finished her words, there were already more than 20 hands raised in the support of Han Xiaowen.
And after a few seconds of waiting, another 30 hands were raised, these were to the few people who had been threatened by Han Lao and now noticing the previous leader they had got the courage to vouch for their vote.
And so the voting concluded even without Li Zhiyun raising a finger in order to vote for her daughter.
She knew that the people had their own minds if they had not recognized Han Xiaowen then they might have just didn't support her and had not voted on her side as well.
Could be said that with her presence, Li Zhiyun had given the courage to a few of them.
But even with that, none might have voted for Han Xiaowen if she was not up to their mark and didn't help in the growth of the company at all.
As they say, people won't support you if you were not good enough and that was true here.
If Han Xiaowen had not worked enough and shown that she did not have the ability to be the leader of such a big corporation, then even with Li Zhiyun's backing, she might not have been able to get so agreement from so many people.
It could be said that it was because of her own hard work that Han Xiaowen had won support from them.
If Han Xiaowen didn't have the ability then the voters might have just stayed silent and neither supported her nor Han Lao, but even with that Han Lao might have easily won since there might have been more votes on his side than the no vote on Han Xiaowen's.
And that was what Li Zhiyun clearly knew, and thus she was not worried about Han Xiaowen getting thrown like that.
But there were obviously some people who could easily be manipulated or threatened with certain means.
And she was just worried about that, if not, then she might have not opted to come in front of so many people so soon as she still needed to spend some time with her daughter alone and help her learn certain things which she would not be able to if people were to know that she had woke up from her coma and was healthy.
"HUMPHHHH"
Li Zhiyun's train of thoughts was disturbed when she heard a muffled bang beside her.
Followed by a displeased harrumphing and punching the table, everyone saw Han Lao standing up from his position and walking out of the hall.
There was no use for him to stay here and wait to make himself more embarrassed, the results were right before his eyes, even if he were to use any excuse there would not be even a little change whatsoever.
