Chapter 478: How Would Huo Jiuxiao Admit It?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Initially, Huo Jiuxiao had asked Huo Xinhong to make a move the day after tomorrow. However, because of the child’s birthday, Justin wanted to go to the host’s house to take a look at the child, so he made a move a day earlier. The next morning, he sent a message to the major shareholder of the Huo Corporation. The content was, of course, about Huo Weichen’s rape and imprisonment, but Yun Shujing planned to hide it from everyone.
The shareholders felt that Yun Shujing’s actions were ridiculous. After all, the consequences of this matter being spread would be extraordinary. However, Yun Shujing acted on her own accord and completely disregarded the interests of the shareholders and the group.
The board of directors demanded an explanation from Huo Qingxiao. After all, once this kind of scandal spread, no one would look good. That was why the shareholders were so angry.
“What do you want me to explain?” Huo Qingxiao asked the directors in the Huo Corporation’s meeting room. “I just found out. Your chairman’s wife has already taken care of everything. There’s no need for me to ask at all. What can
“Chairman, this isn’t just your family matter. No one wants to embarrass everyone in the industry because of Weichen’s matter, so we’d better invite Mrs. Huo over to give a reasonable explanation. Not only that, but our shareholders also need an explanation.” The directors requested in unison.
“Since all of you have the same request, of course, I will try my best to fulfill it.” Hence, Huo Qingxiao instructed his assistant to immediately go to the Huo family’s residence to fetch Yun Shujing and clean up the mess that she and her son had caused.
The directors were all anxious. Who would want the company to be overshadowed by Huo Weichen’s scandal? They didn’t want to go out in the future. As long as they mentioned the Huo Corporation, they would hear the mockery of others. Was it the pharmaceutical company that produced the rapist?
However, Huo Qingxiao didn’t show any anxiety on his face. Instead, he sat on the main seat and drank tea happily. He had never cared about Huo Weichen’s scandal. He didn’t care about the baseless opinions and reputation that others thought he did. It was only because Huo Jiuxiao was involved that he tacitly agreed to Yun Shujing’s actions. However, the matter could be concealed, but Yun Shujing had to be punished.
Before Huo Qingxiao’s assistant arrived at the Huo family, Yun Shujing was in a good mood. Even though her face was still injured, it didn’t stop her from laughing out loud because she had already set a trap for Huo Jiuxiao and Huo Yunting, waiting for them to lose their reputation. Therefore, even when her assistant told her that the Board of Directors was waiting for her to hold a meeting, she did not show any displeasure because she did not know what the board of directors had already known.
After everything was in the car, Yun Shujing asked Huo Qingxiao’s assistant,
“Why is the Board of Directors so sudden?”
“It happened so suddenly. Director Huo is also in a terrible state.” The assistant didn’t tell Yun Shujing the truth and only followed Huo Qingxiao’s orders to send her to the door of the Huo Corporation’s huge meeting room.
When Yun Shujing pushed the door open and entered, the atmosphere in the meeting room was very stiff. Yun Shujing swept her gaze across the faces of the directors, and the smile on his face faded a little.
“Come here.” Huo Qingxiao asked Yun Shujing to go over.
Yun Shujing did as he was told, thinking that Huo Qingxiao had something to announce. However, when she walked up to Huo Qingxiao, Huo Qingxiao said to her, “The entire Board of Directors received an anonymous message this morning. The message clearly stated that Huo Weichen was raped and imprisoned. It’s more detailed than me as a father. Now that the board of directors is dissatisfied with the way you handled this matter, you should stand up and give everyone a reasonable explanation.”
Hearing that it was about Huo Weichen, Yun Shujing’s heart tightened into a ball. In just a few seconds, her forehead and palms were covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
Yun Shujing looked at the group of shareholders with serious expressions and Imew that she couldn’t escape the blame today, so she began her usual trick of blurring everyone’s focus.
“How did this matter get out? I’ve already dealt with it. I’m just waiting for the verdict. No one will know. I’m doing this for everyone’s face. However, I didn’t expect that someone would actually have ulterior motives and spread this matter everywhere. I think it’s more important to find the person behind this.”
After Yun Shujing finished speaking, the directors ‘furrowed brows did not relax at all because they were already used to Yun Shujing’s cunningness.
At this moment, Chairman Xu came out and said, “Let’s not talk about who’s behind this for now. What we’re more concerned about now is what method Mrs. Huo will use to ensure that this news won’t be spread.”
“Isn’t it important who’s behind this? Someone eyeing the Huo Corporation covetously is not important to you? I finally understand. No matter how I deal with this matter today, in your eyes, it’s all wrong. Because your goal today is to blame me and pave the way for others, right? Can I reasonably suspect that the act that alarmed all the shareholders today is because someone wants to seize power?” Yun Shujing forced herself to calm down and find an angle to divert the trouble.
She wanted to pin this blame on Huo Jiuxiao.
“So you’re saying that the rape and imprisonment of Huo Weichen, as well as the fact that you hid the fact that Huo Weichen was imprisoned, were all planned by someone else?” Director Xu sneered and asked, “You failed to educate your children well and committed such a shameful mistake. You even wanted to deal with it yourself without telling the shareholder. Is that what you should do?”
“That’s not what I meant. I just think that if you want to settle scores with me, you can do it anytime. But the most important thing now is to find the mastermind behind this.” Yun Shujing quickly retreated to advance and continued to shift the conflict.
“What you’re trying to say is that you’re searching for enemies in the void, implying that Jiuxiao is manipulating you. But Yun Shujing, you have to understand one thing. You must tell Huo Weichen what to do.” Director Xu approached Yun Shujing step by step. “Since you said that this was planned by Jiuxiao behind the scenes, it’s not like we can’t believe it. Let’s find him and confront him.”
“I suggest we investigate first. How can Huo Jiuxiao admit to something without evidence?”
“Since you also know that there is no evidence, then can I also reasonably suspect that it was your people who took the initiative to report the news and then framed Jiuxiao?” Director Xu refused to let go of Yun Shujing.
“Then find Jiuxiao and confront him.” While the two were arguing, Huo Qingxiao said, “Since Madam is so worried about the person behind this, why don’t you arrest him? I’m also looking for someone to crack the source of the news.”
“I know that after Shengyuan’s defeat at Deer Pavilion, you all have some complaints about him, so you’re in a hurry to clean him up. I can understand..”
