Chapter 468: Chapter 469: Unknown (2)
“Uncle, Aunt, what are you two discussing so animatedly about? Not telling your nephew? I would love to hear it too.”
Qin Zhiyou said as he made his way into the room through the main entrance. The conference room table was a circular one. He went to the center, hands in pockets, ascended the podium and directly shooed Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia from their main seats. Then, unceremoniously, he assumed the center spot himself. As soon as he sat, Secretary Wang and other top executives followed suit, standing by his side, wearing solemn expressions.
Qin Zhiyou sat diagonally, not glancing at Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia, and simply smiled faintly, “Come on, isn’t this meeting convened to criticize me? I’m right here, speak up.”
The room full of people exchanged dubious glances. After a while, it was Qin Weijian who finally spoke up, “Yes, that’s right. You are the one who tore up the contract with the Bai Family, didn’t you? You are also the one saying we should not cooperate with the Bai Family, aren’t you?”
Qin Zhiyou looked candid and nodded, “Yes.”
“You caused the company to lose millions in penalties for breach of contract, and furthermore, caused extremely negative publicity. Do you know how much the company’s stock price has dropped?” Qin Weijia chimed in, “You are not fit to be the president! That’s why we should dismiss you.”
Qin Zhiyou laughed and replied, “If I’m not suitable, then who is? Aunt? Or Uncle?”
Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia had confident expressions. Qin Zhiyou laughed, “Based on you two? One of you misappropriated public funds while the other one caused significant losses to the company.”
“You!—” Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia were furious. The one accused of misappropriating funds was Qin Weijian, while the one who was caught by North America for falsifying an environmental report and making a loss of billions, even almost damaging the entire reputation of Hanhai Group, was none other than Qin Weijia sitting in front of him.
Five years ago, Qin Zhiyou, who always portrayed himself as a playboy, seized the highest power of the company from his uncle and aunt based on these two pieces of news.
“I tore up the contract with the Bai Family. The news of not cooperating with the Bai Family was also spread by me. So what? Want me to resign? Sure, I can step down. But, the national-level demonstration zone project in my hands, I will keep for myself. None of you will get a cent.”
At this point, Qin Zhiyou’s words infuriated everyone. However, the project’s signatory is him, not Hanhai. If Qin Zhiyou leaves, he could indeed bring the project with him away from Hanhai.
Anyway, starting another new company would be a piece of cake.
“Everyone present here, if anyone of you has the ability to pull me down from this position, I welcome it. Otherwise, continue to be my underlings all your life!”
After throwing out these words, Qin Zhiyou directly left. He could not be bothered to chat with these wasteful people who quarrel daily. Having expressed his intention, he went straight home.
Apart from work, his major concern was Lu Weixi. He was afraid—afraid that Lu Weixi was genuinely considering leaving him!
But as soon as he got home, he was nabbed by the old master. After understanding the ins and outs, the old man, though understanding, still made him kneel for three hours. He was the head of Hanhai, not merely a husband. He had to stand up for his wife, but he shouldn’t compromise the company.
So, when Qin Zhiyou returned, he was a bit disheveled.
But he was not in the mood to deal with these issues. He only wanted to ask: How do you feel about your mother asking for a divorce?
