“Anyone else?” Skr asked.

    After much hesitation, the majority of the shareholders finally stood up.

    “Ms. Lambert, if you continue with the real estate business and let Mr. Stone lead the group, we won’t have any objections.

    “But if you insist on turning the business into an entertainmentpany, we’ll have to withdraw our support,” a shareholder said.

    “That’s right, Ms. Lambert. The entertainment circle is aplicated mess. Making it in there isn’t easy at all,” another shareholder said.

    “Although this amount of money may not mean much to us, no one wants to lose money,” another shareholder echoed.

    Skr was unfazed. Even if these shareholders withdrew their investments, it would not affect her in the slightest. “If you don’t trust me and opt outb, /bbby /ball means, withdraw your investments,” she said.

    The crowd burst into an uproar, and the remaining shareholders who wanted to stay could no longer contain their unease.

    “Ms. Lambert, you need to think this through. With so many people backing out, it isn’t a minor issue. You can’t let emotions cloud your judgment,” a shareholder advised.

    Skr remained perfectlyposed. “Since you’ve decided to stay, you should trust me,” she said.

    “Even with so many investors pulling out, it won’t impact thepany. Business will continue as usual,” she said.

    The remaining shareholders were hesitating. As seasoned veterans with decades in business and hundreds of investments under their belts, they had never met anyone as audacious as Skr.

    Investing shared simrities with the stock market, high risk often led to high returns. The real estate market was challenging at that point. If thepany could sessfully adapt, it would yield positive oues.

    If Skr could truly build thepany into what she envisioned, the share dividends would be nothing less than previously. bIt /bcould even be higher than what they used to get from the real estate business.

    The seated shareholders exchanged nces among themselves. One of the shareholders stood up and spoke up, “Ms. Lambert, we trust you. Just don’t

    let us down.”

    The shareholders who had stood up and were watching from the sidelines thought these shareholders had lost their minds.

    One of them scoffed, “You actually trust her? You’ll have nowhere toin when you lose everything!”

    “You guys are fools! You won’t give up until you hit rock bottom,” one of them sneered.

    “Don’t be bothered by them. Let them do what they want. They won’t change their minds,” a shareholder said.

    Skr ignored their protests and turned to her assistants and instructed, “Bring thewyers to verify these shareholders‘ equity stakes. Draft the stock purchase agreements–payment upon signed transfer.”

    ‘The timing is perfect. I nned to acquire more shares and didn’t expect the opportunity to arise so soon, Skr thought.

    David snapped, “Do iyou /ithink you can buy our shares without asking for our opinions?” He had stirred up trouble today to prevent Skr fr proceeding with the entertainmentpany n.

    Thepany might have changed beyond recognition and was ino /ilonger the one he built with his own hands, but he had bnot /bbthought /bbabout /bbleaving /bband /bstill hoped to win it back.

    “I asked just now if you wanted to stay or leave. Since you’ve chosen to leave, you’ll naturally surrender your shares and take the money. Did I

    misunderstand banything/b?” Skr asked.

    b“/bYou.” David was speechless. Skr had a point, and for a minment, David was at a fost for words.

    Skr scoffed and waved her hand dismissively. “Since you guys are no longer shareholders bof /bNova Entertainininnt Productions, you are wa Nige bremain /bin this boardroom. Please leave immediately,” she said.

    The shareholders scoffed and said, “Do you think we want to stay?”

    “You’re so selfish! I can’t wait for the day you fall apart in tears after failing,” one of the shareholders snared and said

    “You’re never going to manage apany well. I’m saying it now; I’ll be waiting to watch you make a fool of yourself another departing Wareholder said indignantly.
