Chapter 571: Coercion
Chapter 571 of "Supreme Divine Physician in the City" commences with: Chapter 571: Chapter 571: CoercionLin Tong glanced over the contract, then set it down and... Donât miss the next part!
Chapter 571: Chapter 571: CoercionLin Tong glanced over the contract, then set it down and said indifferently, "Family Head Song, donât you think this contract is ridiculous? Transferring the 10% of the shares I hold to you, and then you taking another 5% from my father, itâs simply a lionâs mouth wide open. Do you think I would consider this contract?"
Signing this contract would mean giving up her CEO position, how could Lin Tong possibly agree?
Even if it wasnât to relinquish her own portion, she wouldnât transfer any shares held by anyone in the company!
A 15% stake was no small amount; it was enough to make her the second-largest shareholder in the company, as she herself only held 10%.
Song Bangyao slightly smiled and said, "Haha, I think, Niece Lin, you are mistaken. This is not my decision, but your father actively transferred the shares to me! He has already dismissed you from your CEO position, so Iâm not here to gain your consent, you just need to sign."
"Family Head Song, as the Chairman of Bangyao Group, are you not aware? I hold 10% of the companyâs shares, and to dismiss my position, it must be unanimously voted through by all shareholders at the shareholdersâ meeting. My fatherâs word alone doesnât count," Lin Tong retorted with a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Song Bangyaoâs gaze slightly narrowed and he said gravely, "Niece Lin, your Eastern Group has fallen into its current state, already reeling and on the brink of collapse! Only I can save you and empower Eastern Group to resurrect."
Lin Tongâs lips curled into a sneer as she said lightly, "Family Head Song, why do you think Eastern Group has encountered this crisis, donât you understand better than I do? We donât need your false benevolence; we will find our own way to solve Eastern Groupâs crisis!"
"Niece Lin, from what you are saying, it sounds like you are not planning to sign this contract."
Song Bangyaoâs expression darkened and he said coldly, "If we all stand to make money, just give out 15% of the shares to save Eastern Group from fire and water! It would allow me to have a share of the pie as well. Why wouldnât you want that?"
"This makes me laugh! The money is earned by ourselves, why should we share any of it with you?"
Lin Tongâs lips curled in a cold smile as she questioned again, her attitude extremely firm.
"Niece Lin, it seems you are not giving me face?"
Seeing that Lin Tong had no intention of signing the contract, Song Bangyaoâs face turned ugly.
He had not expected Lin Dongfang to be easy to deal with, but his daughter was even tougher!
"Family Head Song, we are all in business here, if everything depended on face, Eastern Group would have closed down long ago!"
Lin Tongâs lips curled upward, not intimidated, and she spoke in a frosty tone, "It seems we have no need to continue this discussion. Please leave, I wonât sign the contract."
Receiving an eviction order and a clear refusal, Song Bangyaoâs face turned livid, unable to contain his fury any longer.
He suddenly stood up and barked, "Great, Lin Tong, it seems youâve chosen to face harsh consequences instead of cooperating!"
Luckily, the old master had spoken yesterday and had him bring people from the Wolf Gang, otherwise he would have really returned empty-handed today.
"Family Head Song, from what youâve said, are you planning to take a tough approach here? However, I want to make it clear to you that Iâve already notified the security to prepare; if your people try to create trouble here, they will be arrested immediately!"
Lin Tong smiled coldly, staring fearlessly at Song Bangyao and said calmly.
"Is that so? You think with those few security guards, you can take on my people?"
Song Bangyaoâs face filled with a cold smile, and he said cheerfully, "Niece Lin, I suggest you make a call and see if your security can even make it here in time!"
What?
Upon hearing this, Lin Tongâs face changed, and she immediately grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed out.
As soon as the call connected, before Lin Tong could even speak, an icy voice came from the other end:
"CEO Lin, right? Iâm very sorry to tell you this, but your companyâs security is so weak. Itâs pathetic! Weâve taken control of your security department. If you donât want these guards to face consequences, better sign the contract with our CEO Song."
Snap!
After finishing, the person on the other line hung up, giving Lin Tong no chance to respond.
"Family Head Song, what do you mean by this? Resorting to such despicable means, forcing and threatening! Arenât you afraid that Iâll call the police?"
Lin Tong put down the phone and looked at Song Bangyao, whose face was filled with malice. Anger clouded her pretty face as she gritted her teeth.
"Call the police?"
Song Bangyao sneered twice, slowly saying, "Even if you do call them, do you believe they would arrest me? As for my men, theyâll just be detained for a few days and soon be released."
He revealed a sinister smile as he spoke, "Oh! CEO Lin, I forgot to mention, why havenât you asked where your father has gone?"
Lin Tongâs face drastically changed, and she urgently asked, "What have you done to my dad?"
Song Bangyao laughed tauntingly and said, "Ms. Lin, listen to the way you speak! What could I possibly do to your father? After all, he almost became my in-law, right? Brother Lin is just in a very safe place. All you need to do is sign this contract, and I guarantee heâll be unharmed."
His tone then took a wicked turn, and he sneered, "Of course, if you donât sign the contract, I canât guarantee his safety..."
"Also, your company wonât be able to operate normally. I guarantee the factory will shut down, and no one will dare to work at Eastern Group anymore. Given your companyâs current situation, it looks like it will be closing down in three days!"
"You... Song Bangyao, youâre so despicable! This is coercion and illegal!"
Upon hearing Song Bangyaoâs words, Lin Tong trembled with fury, her cheeks flushed as she exclaimed angrily.
She had never imagined that Song Bangyao would stoop so low, not only controlling Lin Dongfang but also using her father as leverage to threaten her.
Moreover, he even threatened to harm the companyâs employees, forcing her to sign the contract which was utterly shameless.
If that were just targeting her, Lin Tong might not have cared at all!
But with so many employees in the company, how could she manage if Song Bangyao decided to harm them one by one?
As for calling the police, the other party had just said that it would hardly be effective.
The police might be in cahoots with the criminals, perhaps the officers wouldnât even try to arrest him. The attackers would still keep harassing the company relentlessly, worsening the situation.
Seeing Lin Tongâs troubled expression, Song Bangyao smirked and said, "Think it over carefully. Either sign the contract and transfer 15% of your companyâs shares to me, or... just wait for your company to go bankrupt."
"I told you, I wonât sign a contract with you. Stop dreaming!"
Lin Tong clenched her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with resolution, her expression determined and unwavering.
Hearing this, Song Bangyaoâs eyes darkened, and he spoke coldly, "Ms. Lin, think it through. If you donât sign the contract, even I donât know what my men might do to your father..."
"And your employees, your company! It will all be ruined. Think carefully before you decide."
