When they reached the oval-shaped meeting room on the top floor of the Hong Corporation’s headquarters, the board of directors was still in a meeting.

Hong Ziqi pushed open the door of the meeting room with a bang, and everyone in the meeting room turned their heads to look at him.

“What the Hell Is Going On? !”Hong Ziqi walked over in surprise. “Is it really Hui Ning’s problem?”

Old Madam Hong saw her favorite great-grandson enter and waved at him. “Ziqi, come here.”

Hong Ziqi quickly walked over. “Ancestor, I saw the news online… it seems to be very serious?”

“It doesn’t seem to be, it’s very serious.”Old Madam Hong sighed. “When you came, did you see Guo Huining?”

Hong Ziqi blushed. “Yes, but I didn’t talk to her. I want to know what happened from you first.”

He turned to look at his mother. “Mom, do you know?”

Hong Ziqi’s father didn’t come back from abroad. Hong Ziqi’s mother looked unhappy and said, “Guo Huining is the one who knows the most about this. Do you think she can hide what she did? !”

“She bought someone else’s patented battery and used it on her own electric car, selling it at a low price as a cheap product. She’s really capable!”

“She played us like monkeys!”

Hong Ziqi’s mother was indignant.

Hong Ziqi’s own ability was average, so he didn’t hold an important position in the Hong Group.

Old Madam Hong only managed the non-core business hotels in the Hong Group for him.

Car manufacturing was the core business of the Hong Group, and Hong Ziqi had never interfered in it.

Now, he was starting to build electric cars. In just a short year, the Hong Group had made a name for themselves. Guo Huining’s talent was obvious to everyone, and she was given a lot of original shares, which were recognized by the Hong family, almost everyone was talking about his and Guo Huining’s wedding date..

Hong Ziqi’s mother saw that her son’s expression was very uncomfortable, and she hardened her heart, she said, “Ziqi, I know that you and Guo Huining have been together for many years, and we didn’t mean to make things difficult for her, but this matter was indeed her doing. It’s also our fault that old guys like us don’t know about electric cars, so she took advantage of the loophole!”

Although Hong Ziqi was shocked, he could still say something fair.

He said uncomfortably, “Although huining is at fault in this matter, the company can’t treat her like this. Isn’t she doing this for the company?”

“When you heard that it can be listed overseas, didn’t all of You Express your approval?”

“If it’s successfully listed overseas, your assets will increase tenfold or even hundreds of times!”

Hong Ziqi was speaking the truth, and everyone present felt a little awkward when they heard it.

Old Madam Hong said with a straight face, “Ziqi, are you blaming us?”

“I’m not blaming you.”Hong Ziqi wiped his face, he smiled bitterly and said, “I just hope that everyone can speak properly and not kick out huining all of a sudden. “You still want to break off the engagement? Are you really going to ask me to break off the engagement with Huining at this juncture? “What will people think of us?”

He had been with Guo Huining for so many years, and they still had feelings for each other. He had long since decided that Guo Huining was his wife. However, his ancestors did not agree, so the two of them had never been able to get married.

This time, if the overseas listing was successful, he and Guo Huining would get married.

Hong Ziqi had a good heart. It was also because of this that old madam Hong doted on him more than other grandsons and great-grandsons.

However, although he was a good person, he did not have any talent. Moreover, he was indecisive. Every single point could not allow him to gain a foothold in the ever-changing business world, which was like a battlefield.

Old Madam Hong waved her hand to dismiss the people in the meeting room, leaving Hong Ziqi alone, she said earnestly to him, “Ziqi, great-grandmother knows that you still can’t let go of Guo Huining. But think about it, if we don’t do anything, our Hong Corporation will be finished!”

“… but this can’t be her fault alone!”Hong Ziqi raised his head and said very discontentedly, “It’s not that I don’t know anything. Even if she did this and you didn’t know, you still indulged her!”

“She’s fully in charge. Do you think she’ll be happy that we’re going to order her around?”Old Madam Hong Sighed, “Yes, we were wrong. When we heard that we could list overseas, we were excited and let her do it. We didn’t carry out the necessary internal control and verification.”

In the end, it was because they all wanted to list overseas that they were mesmerized by the beautiful Qian Jing.

Hong Ziqi himself was once a member who was full of expectations for listing overseas. However, he was still relatively young. He was still not used to this kind of naked falling out and disrespecting others.

“… I don’t have any opinions on the company’s matters. However, I have the final say in my engagement with her.”Hong Ziqi gritted his teeth and said firmly, “Even if you want to break off the engagement, you can’t do it now. I Can’t let others say that I’m a selfish scumbag who used huining!”

The words on the internet were so unpleasant that Hong Ziqi’s face turned pale at the thought of it.

Old Madam Hong patted his hand in heartache, “Ziqi, those people are just saying it. Don’t take it to heart. “The matter with Huining has become too big. The other party’s car company has already filed a report to the court, requesting for investigation and compensation. You’re still engaged to her. Don’t tell me we have to bear civil liability together?”

Hong Ziqi retreated for a moment, but in the end, he still said, “She and I are only fiancés. We don’t have to bear civil liability together.”

Only a husband and wife could bear civil liability together.

Old Madam Hong looked at him and smiled. “Ziqi knows the law. It seems that all these years with Guo Huining were not wasted.”

Hong Ziqi smiled bitterly. “Then I’ll go back. I’ll go tell Huining that we’re still fiancés. The ancestor’s words were just a moment of anger. It’ll be fine in a few days.”

Old Madam Hong thought to herself that this was not bad. At least she could temporarily calm Guo huining down.

They were such a big company. Besides electric cars, they had many other businesses. If Guo Huining was forced into a corner, it would be troublesome for her to spread rumors about their company.

Thus, she shook Hong Ziqi’s hand and said with a kind expression, “Alright, since you’re pleading with her, then I’ll pretend that I didn’t know. After this matter is over, we’ll talk about your engagement.”

“Thank you, old ancestor!”Hong Ziqi was in a better mood. “Let me help you out!”

After he helped old Madam Hong out of the meeting room, he began to call Guo Huining.

However, Guo Huining’s phone line was always busy.

At this moment, Guo Huining was on the phone with Dou aiyan.

“Dou aiyan, how did this matter get known by others? It Can’t be that you deliberately set me up, right? !”

Guo huining was full of anger and started to scold her aggressively.

Dou Aiyan was also confused.

How did people find out about such a secret? !

“Huining, don’t be angry. We are having a meeting here…”Dou Aiyan stood in the corridor holding her phone. As an intern, she was not qualified to participate in such a high-qualified meeting of an investment bank.

“What’s the use of having a meeting now!”Guo Huining sat in her car and was so angry that she wanted to kick someone. “There’s definitely no problem on my side! The battery was purchased from a third party! This third party was provided by you!”

It was impossible for the Hong Group to directly purchase the high-efficiency battery of the electric motor from the manufacturer that supplied the battery to the raft.

Doing so would be too conspicuous and would be too easy to be discovered and jammed.

Therefore, they bought from a third party. This third party was a short-selling company that Dou aiyan suggested to take the lead and set up.

In fact, it was the address of a receiving station.

Dou aiyan quickly said, “Our third party is absolutely safe, and this third party doesn’t order directly from that battery manufacturer. “We all look for the owners who bought the ‘raft’electric car and let them buy the batteries. Then, we buy their new batteries and old batteries.”

As a consumer of electric cars, it was common for them to change the batteries. Meanwhile, the Hong Group’s electric cars had just started. The number of them was not much compared to the ‘raft’, but the growth rate was very high.

Therefore, the manufacturer of the ‘raft’did not find out anything fishy at all.

As long as the Hong Group was listed overseas, Guo Huining could talk about better patents. That way, there would not be so much resistance to raising the price again.

Unfortunately, their plan suddenly fell apart on the eve of the success of the listing.

“… how did they find out? !”Guo huining flipped through her phone and looked at the things that people on the internet had concluded. Her gaze fell on the first open letter to the electric car manufacturer, “Raft.”.

This open letter was directed at the battery problem of the Hong Group’s electric cars.
