Chapter 548: Aren’t You Fooling Me as Well?
“I’m innocent! I am just looking at this matter from the perspective of Yue-Lao, the god of love.” Mu Qiqi put up her hand and acted like she was making an oath. “I used to hate Feng Shanshan. But after mingling with her for some time, she’s not that bad. No, I should say that she is as bad as she should be, which makes me unable to hate her anymore.”
“If she dares to influence you, I will destroy her!”
Mu Qiqi couldn’t help but laugh. She leaned against Sheng Xiao’s chest and asked, “But why do I feel like I’m already a bad person? I even turned my uncle into my husband.”
Sheng Xiao hugged his lively partner tightly. He really wanted to pin her on the bed and teach her a good lesson.
Of course, at the appropriate time, Sheng Xiao would take the initiative to understand the cases the police were investigating. Because he wanted to predict the risk of those cases, whether or not they would threaten Mu Qiqi’s safety.
And it was all because catching criminals was the interest of his little one.
…
The next afternoon, Sheng Kai suddenly came back to Jianchuan from Europe. He demanded a meeting with the board of directors immediately, and he even called Grandpa Sheng and Third Brother for their attendance.
He said that he had found a solution to the collaboration with Tiffany & Co.
Grandpa Sheng had no idea what trick he had up his sleeve, so before going to the meeting, he told the lawyer to make a copy of the will and pass it to Sheng Xiao.
When Sheng Xiao received the document, he frowned.
The lawyer told him, “I hope Eighth Young Master will keep the document safe. You don’t have to open it yet. But it might be very useful to you when the critical moment comes.”
“Alright, you can report to your boss,” Sheng Xiao said to the lawyer.
“Then I shall leave. Please carry on with your work.”
Being the smart guy he was, Sheng Xiao knew exactly what was in the envelope. Grandpa Sheng had underestimated him. He knew that Grandpa Sheng was currently being extremely distrustful of Second Brother, so he handed him this, hoping he would be able to stabilize the Sheng family.
That old man obviously showed signs of longevity.
However, with this document in hand, it would be a great support for Third Brother.
Before this, he had thought that with Sheng Bowen’s personalities, he might not be suitable to work in the field of business and investment. But now, thinking about it, his forgiving character might be his saving grace.
Soon, a group of people rushed into the meeting room of Huang Yao.
At that moment, Grandpa Sheng and Third Brother still had no idea what Sheng Kai was trying to do. They guessed that he must be up to no good.
At four o’clock, the extraordinary general meeting was held smoothly.
Sheng Kai, who had just come back from abroad, did not look as anxious as before. He calmly looked at the shareholders, Grandpa Sheng, and then, at Sheng Bowen.
“CEO Sheng, have you made any progress after going to Europe? Don’t keep us guessing.”
“Why, if I didn’t go there, I would still have no idea that my good Third Brother has been in touch with the Tiffany family. They seem to be very close. Therefore, I think there won’t be any big problem in the collaboration of Huang Yao and Tiffany & Co. Don’t you think so, Third Brother?”
Sheng Bowen felt uneasy when his name was mentioned. What did he mean by him being close with the Tiffany family?
“Trying to seize power from me, aren’t you being too much?”
Sheng Bowen did not understand why Sheng Kai was trying to slander him when he was the one at fault.
“How am I being too much?”
“It happened a few days ago. Since you are very close with the eldest young master of the Tiffany family, why did you keep it a secret? Why did you not help me to stabilize the situation of Huang Yao and simply watched when I was being embarrassed by the directors? Don’t they understand what you are trying to do? You want to see me get fired and only bring up the solution then to gain the support of the directors. Aren’t I right?”
Sheng Bowen finally understood what Second Brother meant.
His effort to seek help from the eldest young master of the Tiffany family was to no avail, so he came back to shamelessly blame everything on him.
“I’ve been disagreeing with you on the matter of collaborating with Tiffany & Co.. How many times did we argue about this publicly and privately? Is it my fault that you insisted on increasing the investment? Since I know there’s a problem in Tiffany & Co., I tried to form a good relationship with the eldest young master in order to prevent Huang Yao from losing everything when problems emerge. I’m just a vice CEO. How can I fight against you? I am just hoping that Huang Yao could be saved when it really encounters a crisis.”
“Saved?” Sheng Kai smirked. “If it is as you said, why didn’t he want to see me? And if you are really that kind, why didn’t you stand up and explain this right away when it happened?”
“That’s because I am still not confident that I’m able to convince the eldest young master. I’m not like you. I won’t make an empty promise. The reason he was unwilling to see you is because you collaborated with his brother in their fight to become the CEO and caused his loss. It’s you who helped his brother to win in the end. Why would he want to see you?”
Listening to their argument, the shareholders finally understood the story.
Apparently, the key to solve this problem was Sheng Bowen.
However, the two brothers were not on good terms.
“You are only saying this now as an afterthought.”
It was obvious that Sheng Kai was simply trying to make his reason justifiable, as if he did no wrong.
Sheng Bowen took a deep breath and stopped talking. He couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.
Just then, Grandpa Sheng, who had been silent since the beginning, opened his mouth.
“This happened because of Sheng Kai’s stubbornness and action of faking the risk assessment report. It is mainly his fault. And of course, my support had intensified his arrogance. So, I’m partly at fault too. That day, when I passed out in the last meeting, it was Third Brother who took care of me. He told me about the eldest young master and that he had a way to save Huang Yao.
“Before this, they had been arguing at home because Third Brother wanted Second Brother to withdraw the investment. However, Second Brother refused to do so. Of course, as I was the one who gave Second Brother the power to take control, I convinced myself to trust his judgment. Therefore, I sided with Second Brother and rejected Third Brother. But I had never imagined that this would happen. Third Brother only built a connection with the eldest young master of the Tiffany family because there was no other way.
“For the last two days, he had also been in contact with the eldest young master. The other party still hasn’t agreed to help, and it’s solely because of his hatred toward Second Brother. Second Brother has not only returned without a solution, but is now trying to slander Third Brother. Don’t you think you are abusing the trust of the board? Aren’t you trying fooling me as well?”
