CHAPTER 426

"Grandma, I need more shares. Shares of the company."

"Shares of the company? But why, my dear?" Grandma Bai asked with furrowed brows.

"Well... I–"

"Tell your grandma the truth, dear. You know that I would always do what I can to support you," Grandma Bai took Bai Ming\'s hands in hers and gave them a light squeeze.

Bai Ming smiled and took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "The truth is, I need enough shares to be able to get the board members of our company to take me more seriously. I can\'t them to see me as a potential candidate for the position of CEO before my father steps down," she said.

"But you did not need many shares to do that, my dear."

"I know but... But you know how well I have been working since I won\'t the entertainment world and entered the business world. I have worked so hard to prove my worth but it does not seem to be enough," she explained.

,m "Mm-hmm," Grandma Bai nodded as if telling her to go on.

"Not only that, you know that my elder sister... You know what Renxiang did in the past right?" Bai Ming asked in a small voice as if she was too ashamed to be up on that topic.

It was as if she did not want to talk about such bad things about her step-sister. But deep down, Bai Ming loves scorning Bai Renxiang. She loved the fact that she and her mother were able to get Bai Renxiang into that defaming scandal.

But being the innocent child she has portrayed for herself, she would put up an act like this in front of her dad, grandmother, grandfather and society.

After all, she was once an actress.

"Don\'t even mention the name of that disgraceful child in this house," grandma Bai spat out.

"Oh, grandma. Don\'t be like that. It was not sister\'s fault," Bai Ming pretentiously defended Bai Renxiang.

"Humph. She does not deserve your defence, my dear. When will you learn to see that? Don\'t be too naive."

"But she is my sister and I am supposed to defend her. I don\'t wang people to talk too much about it. It would not only be bad for Renxiang but our family and the company as well. So try to see my actions too, grandma. Hmm?"

"Sigh... Alright then. What about your sister?" Grandma Bai agrees.

"Thank you... Well, you j ow that since that scandal... It was bad for the company. So, since sister ran away, who would take over from dad. You know he can\'t continue to stress himself forever, right?"

"I know, my dear. My son would need to rest like me and your grandfather," grandma Bai sighed.

"Yea. And you know that dad does not have any other child apart from me and her. So now that she is away, I wanted to be of help to dad when he decides to step down. Bit first, I need to be worthy of that position right?" Bai Ming said.

"Of course, my dear. The position of a CEO is not a small matter. A capable hand is needed as well as brain and skills," grandma Bai agreed.

"Exactly. But it seems that my hard work is not showing much to the board members. Mother even suggested that I try to win over some of them to my side. I have been able to do that but I still need to support of more than half of the board members if I want to be CEO. But I don\'t have that."

"And that is why you are optic g for bigger shares to gain a little advantage?"

"Yes, grandma," Bai Minh nodded. "I suppose grandma has seen my works on the last fashion jewellery show we did. You now understand my hard work, right grandma?"

"Yes, my seat. I saw it and I also know how it went trending on the market. Your talents amaze me," grandma Bai said proudly.

"So that is what is bothering me. Also, now that Renxiang has inherited a company from her maternal grandfather, I am afraid she will come to fight for the company with me since I am a product of that extramarital affair" Bai Ming bit down her lips as she fiddled with the hem of her dress.

She is playing the pitiful game now. Bai Ming did not even feel ashamed to use the fact that she was a child from an extramarital affair to get her grandmother to feel a slight hint of guilt and pity for her.

But if it was needed to get what she want from the old woman, then she would do it. After all, she was indeed scared that Bai Renxiang would really take away the company.

If so, what would she and her mother have to their name? Where would they get a source of wealth? They would be left with little income to survive.

"What? How can that disgraceful child still have the guts to be greedy? She already has a big company to herself. Is she not thinking of what you will have? You are both children of the same man. It doesn\'t matter whether your mothers are different."

Cupping Bai Ming\'s face in her I\'m, grandma Bai said, "Don\'t ever think of or even say that you are a product of an extramarital affair. Your parents had you because they love you, okay?"

Bai Ming nodded timidly.

"Don\'t worry, my dear. You have me. I will not let that disgraceful child take the only thing you have to your name. I\'ll give you my shares of the company. So, don\'t think too much about it," grandma Bai said.

"Really grandma?"

"Really. Now let me see that smile back on your beautiful face, my dear," grandma Bai gently pinches her cheek.

"Thank you, grandma. I love you so much," Bai Ming smiled and hugged grandma Bai to hide her victorious evil smile.

Her plan was a success.
