Chapter 1965 - took a sharp turn for the worse
Chapter 1965: Chapter 1965 took a sharp turn for the worse
Although Guo Huining’s expression didn’t look good, she could still hold on.
She sat in the oval-shaped meeting room of the Hong Group and looked at the shareholders and board members of the Hong Group in front of her. She tried her best to control her slightly trembling hands.
She leaned back on the back of the chair and supported her body, which was already covered in cold sweat, guo huining forced herself to remain calm and said,”… Old Madam Hong, I still need to investigate this matter before I know what’s going on. Please be patient, and don’t blame everything on me.”
“How could you not know what’s going on?”The plump middle-aged woman beside Old Madam Hong screamed, “Don’t forget, it was you who pushed the Hong Group’s overseas listing! It was you who convinced the board of directors to agree to your plan! It was also you who tricked everyone into giving you the original shares!”
“You don’t admit that you’re the only one responsible now? ! When you took the shares, you didn’t share your ‘credit’with everyone!”
This middle-aged woman was Hong Ziqi’s mother. Guo Huining didn’t dare to contradict her future mother-in-law in public, but she also didn’t want to let her shoulder such an important responsibility alone. However, she had to defend.., she realized that she didn’t have much to defend herself with.
Old Madam Hong put on her reading glasses and took out the report of Guo Huining persuading the board of directors to agree to the overseas listing a year ago from the folder. She flipped to the most critical pages of the report and took a few glances at it, then, she threw the document in front of Guo Huining.
“Director Guo, take a look for yourself. How did you convince the Board of directors a year ago…”
“The board of directors only agreed to your opinion because of this report. They used a loss-making method to build up the brand of the electric car first and gain market share. After the overseas listing was achieved, they would turn a loss into a profit.”
“It was also at that shareholders’meeting that you were selected as a board member to be in charge of the overseas listing of the Hong Group.”
Old Madam Hong took off her reading glasses and looked at Guo Huining with a frown, “Electric cars are a new thing. We Old Guys Don’t understand it, so we entrusted all the responsibility to you. In addition, you have been operating at a loss. Who would have thought that you would do such a thing? !”
In fact, few of the major shareholders of the board of directors would look at the financial statements carefully, let alone know that the company would always lose money, and no one cared about the financial statements.
Besides, everyone was waiting to sell shares to make money after going public. Who would care about the company’s little dividend?
Cold Sweat broke out on Guo Huining’s forehead.
In the beginning, she had asked the board of directors for full authorization in order to do a good job. Unexpectedly, now that something had happened, it was completely her responsibility..
But how had this matter been discovered by others?
Guo Huining was nervous, but she could not figure it out.
She pursed her lips, and Guo huining bit her lower jaw hard. After a while.., she said, “Old Madam is right, but according to the distribution of shares by the board of directors, even if I have to bear the responsibility, it is not the main responsibility. The ones who are truly fully responsible for the shareholders are the big shareholders. “At most, I am just a small shareholder. At most, it is an administrative fault.”
What she meant was that it was impossible to send her to court.
Madam Hong sneered. “In that case, you even prepared a backup plan for yourself? Are you saying that you don’t Like Us Old Fellows because we don’t do anything and only take money?”
“I don’t dare.”Guo Huining was after all an expert in law for many years. She nodded slightly, “I just want to make it clear that we are all in the same boat. “If something really happens to the Hong Corporation this time, it will be useless for you to hand me over alone. “Everyone here has to bear their own legal responsibilities.”
“Is that so?”Old Madam Hong wasn’t too frightened, “Director Guo is directly related to this matter. I propose to remove Guo Huining from her position as the director of the legal department, Expel her from the board of directors, and cancel all the original shares allocated to her. At the same time, the company’s legal department will file a civil lawsuit against Guo Huining for compensation.”
Guo Huining’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she cried out involuntarily, “Old Madam Hong! You Can’t do this! Ziqi will not agree!”
“I am the company’s largest shareholder, and I have a veto power.”The corners of old Madam Hong’s mouth twitched. “You’ve reminded me, your engagement with Ziqi will be canceled!”
Guo Huining was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She suddenly stood up from her seat and said angrily, “I don’t agree! I don’t agree! You Can’t just dismiss me like this! You Can’t just cancel the engagement like this!”
“I’ll do it. If you’re not satisfied, go to the court and sue me.”Old Madam Hong didn’t want to talk to her anymore. “Men, kick her out. Don’t take anything away from the company. Her authority will be revoked immediately!”
“If you dare to step into any property of the Hong Corporation, call the police immediately!”
This was an injunction against her.
The company’s security personnel quickly rushed in. One on each side, they grabbed Guo Huining’s arm and forcefully dragged her out of the meeting room.
Two female security guards at the door dragged Guo Huining to the women’s washroom to search her body. After making sure that she didn’t have anything belonging to the Hong Group on her, they released her.
She was dragged down from the employee elevator by a few people. She was almost pushed out of the Hong Group’s headquarters building.
The employees who came and went didn’t know what had happened. A few of them even ran up to her and asked, “Director Guo, what happened? Do you need my help?”
The female security guard next to her shouted angrily, “What director Guo? ! She has been fired by the Chairman!”
The employee was shocked and immediately hid far away.
Guo Huining pushed away the female security guard’s hand and said with a dark face, “Don’t touch me! If you touch me again, I’ll call the Police!”
The female security guard reluctantly let go of her hand and waved her fist at her. “What are you showing off for? ! Hurry up and get lost! Remember, don’t step into any of the Hong Group’s industries in the future!”
Guo Huining raised her head and sneered. “Do you think I Care? ! You also remember, when that group of people invites me back, pack up your things and get ready to SCRAM!”
Guo Huining had been in the Hong Corporation for more than ten years. The connections she had accumulated and the achievements she had made were all real. This was the only time she was eager to go public and took a shortcut, but in the end, she ended up like this.
It was not that she did not regret it.
However, in front of these low-level employees, she would not say a word. Moreover, she had to maintain her stance.
She glared fiercely at the headquarters of the Hong Corporation. She turned around and walked to the parking lot. As she took out her phone, she dialed Hong Ziqi’s number. “Ziqi!”
Hong Ziqi had just received a call from his own ancestor saying that his engagement with Guo Huining had been canceled.
Hong Ziqi was shocked, but before he could ask further, old madam Hong had already hung up.
Hong Ziqi was in a hurry to call his mother when he realized that Guo Huining’s call had come in. He quickly picked it up and asked, “Huining, what exactly happened? ! Why did ancestor say that our wedding banquet was canceled? !”
“Ziqi!”Guo Huining heard this and the tears that she had been holding back earlier immediately fell. “Ziqi, listen to me, I was framed!”
“What happened?”Hong Ziqi was very worried about her. “Where are you? I’m here to pick you up.”
Seeing that Hong Ziqi still did not leave her, Guo Huining’s mood was much better.
It did not matter if other things were lost. As long as Hong Ziqi’s heart was still with her, she would have a day of recovery.
“I’m in the parking lot of the Hong Corporation’s headquarters.”Guo Huining’s voice was very weak. “I’m very uncomfortable now and can’t drive.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll come and pick you up now!”Hong Ziqi immediately took the car keys and left the house.
He and Guo Huining had been living together for four to five years. It was the Hong family who bought the house for him. Initially, they wanted to build a wedding house after the renovation, but Guo Huining kept saying that after they got married, they would move back to the Hong family mansion, this small house could be used as a place for them to spend some time together.
Hong Ziqi agreed, but before they got married, it was impossible for Guo Huining to stay in the Hong family’s mansion, so the two of them moved in together.
He sat in his car and just as he started the engine, he heard his earphone ring. He picked up the phone and realized it was Xue Jingjiang calling. He immediately asked, “Young Master Xue, why do you have time to call?”
Xue Jingjiang heard that his tone was still very normal. He sighed and said, “Young Master Hong, you haven’t been online recently, right?”
“Why would I go online?”Hong Ziqi said with a grin, “Is it because the game isn’t fun, or are the girls in the bar not pretty enough? Why would happy hour spend time online? — this is something that only losers without money do!”
“Ptui!”Xue Jingjiang scolded him. “A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory! Your brother likes to go online! I don’t like to play games! And I don’t like to go to bars to pick up girls!”
“I told you why you did this…”Hong Ziqi drove the car and joined the traffic in Imperial City. He said proudly, “You’re so handsome, and your family is rich and powerful, but you’re an otaku who likes to surf the Internet!”
“Let me tell you, the difference between us rich men and poor men is that they only know how to promote internet celebrities, and we’re the ones who play internet celebrities!”
Xue Jingjiang almost dropped his phone, but when he looked at the headlines on it.., then, he held back his anger and said, “You don’t surf the Internet, so you don’t know that something happened to your Hong Corporation, right? Also, you broke off the engagement with Guo Huining? She was fired by the Hong Corporation?”
Hong Ziqi’s face changed. “Fired? ! How do you know? ! What happened to the Hong Corporation? !”
“I told you not to go online! I told you to be an internet celebrity!”Xue Jingjiang glared at his phone in disdain. “Something happened to your electric car. The electric car manufacturer ‘raft’that you infringed on has already submitted a lawsuit to the court.”
Hong Ziqi immediately understood.
The Hong Corporation’s electric car project was run by Guo Huining!
No wonder the old ancestor personally called to say that he and Guo Huining had broken off their engagement. No wonder Guo Huining’s tone was weird just now!
Hong Ziqi hurriedly parked his car by the roadside, took out his phone, and casually searched for news. In an instant, he was led to Weibo.
Of the top ten trending topics on Weibo, eight were now related to the Hong Corporation and Guo Huining!
Especially the decision of the Hong Corporation’s board of directors to fire Guo Huining, it had already been on the trending topics!
And the news of Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining breaking off the engagement was also trended with the hashtag # husband and wife are birds of the same forest, each flying separately in the face of Disaster # .
Such a big thing had happened!
Hong Ziqi stomped on the accelerator and quickly drove towards the Hong Corporation’s headquarters building.
He stopped the car in the parking lot. Without looking at Guo Huining, he immediately rushed into the elevator and ascended to the oval conference room on the top floor.
Guo Huining looked at Hong Ziqi’s back view that left without a care, and her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
