Chapter 80: Chapter 80 He Collects Debts and Vents for Her

    Zhao Yuzhen was desperate to have a son.

    “Uncle Cheng, you say. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll try my best to do it,” she pledged earnestly to Cheng Han.

    Cheng Han spoke, “Once you’ve taken the Health Preserving Prescription, never seek out Qiao Xi again. Pretend that the mother-daughter bond has already run its course, with all debts of gratitude severed.”

    “Good.”

    Zhao Yuzhen agreed without hesitation.

    Watching her callous demeanor, Cheng Han felt even more repulsed.

    ...

    Cheng Han took up pen and paper and wrote down the prescription for her.

    Zhao Yuzhen clutched the prescription as if it were a rare treasure.

    “Thank you, thank you!”

    Zhao Yuzhen had been prepared to kowtow in gratitude and had not expected to obtain the Health Preserving Prescription so easily. With this recipe, she might be able to bear a son for the Su Family.

    By then, after Su Weiwei married out, all the Su Family’s inheritance would belong to her and her son.

    “You can go now, remember my words.”

    Cheng Han’s voice was cold and annoyed.

    Zhao Yuzhen, fearing he would change his mind, left immediately.

    Aunt Qian, watching from the side, sighed, “Old Master Cheng, you’re too kind-hearted.”

    Cheng Han explained, “She is Qiao Xi’s mother. This time, she knelt and played pitiful, what if next time she attempts suicide? Qiao Xi would always be entangled and harassed by her. Better for me to be the villain.”

    “Anyone who didn’t know better would think the Young Madam was picked up from somewhere. I don’t think there’s a single resemblance between mother and daughter,” Aunt Qian remarked with disdain for such cold-blooded and heartless people.

    Cheng Han said somewhat absentmindedly, “Maybe the daughter takes after her father.”

    Even though he had never seen Qiao Xi’s father.

    ...

    Huo Building.

    Huo Group shareholders’ meeting.

    Inside Conference Room No.1, seats were filled with shareholders, both major and minor.

    Huo Beiting and his son Huo Jianjun sat grim-faced, occupying the leading seats on either side.

    The assistant whispered a reminder to Huo Beiting, “Mr. Xiaohuo, Tianyuan Group is here.”

    “I know.”

    As his words fell, the doors of the conference room were pushed open.

    Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi entered side by side, followed by Jin Kai, the project manager from Tianyuan Group.

    He was wearing a suit, with long legs, walking steadily.

    He cleared his throat and said, “We have convened this shareholders’ meeting today to discuss a change in share ownership. Shareholders have the right to participate in major decisions and replace managers. President Huo has proposed to remove the CEO and vice-CEO of Huo Group.”

    Replace the CEO of Huo Group?

    Nobody expected Huo Xingzhou to strike at the Huo family first!

    He wanted to kick them out of the management team!

    “What right do you have to remove me! I was appointed vice-CEO by grandfather! The largest shareholder isn’t even present, how dare you make such a proposal on your own!” not able to contain his impatience, Huo Beiting barked in disarray upon hearing Huo Xingzhou was targeting his position.

    “Xingzhou, we’re all family. Why must you be so ruthless?” Huo Jianjun sat up straight, saying earnestly.

    Huo Beiting yelled, “I want to video call grandfather. He should be part of today’s meeting.”

    “Please do.”

    Huo Xingzhou was noble and proud, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

    Each share of stock comes with one vote, and the old man only had 30%—not a controlling majority.

    Moreover... he never fought a battle unprepared.

    Right there in the meeting room, Huo Beiting set up the screen projection, connected it to the computer, and made a video call to the old man. Soon, Huo Weiguo’s wrinkled old face appeared on the big screen, looking unwell and breathless.

    Huo Beiting exaggerated as he relayed the situation in the meeting room to him.

    The old man looked towards Huo Xingzhou and said, “Xingzhou, must you really do this?”

    Huo Xingzhou’s eyes shone with a cold sharpness as he answered, “Of course.”

    The old man sighed and said, “Then let’s proceed with a show of hands.”

    “Hold on!”

    With a smile on his face, Jin Kai said, “Before we vote by a show of hands, I’d like to show the shareholders a document. It’s the fruit of many months’ labor.”

    He held a large stack of papers, distributing them around.

    Since the old man wasn’t on-site, he thoughtfully sent him an electronic version to ensure he could see it clearly.

    Jin Kai deliberately did not give the document to Huo Beiting and his son.

    “This...”

    The shareholders, seeing the documents in their hands, were all stunned.

    “Is this for real? Ridiculous!”

    The big screen suddenly went dark, the camera on the old man’s side shaking, his phone dropping to the ground.

    After looking at the document, he actually fainted, and the sounds of chaos from the Huo residence could be heard in the meeting room.

    “Old man!”

    “Old man, what’s wrong with you!”

    “Quick, call a doctor!”

    Huo Beiting and Huo Jianjun looked at each other, both sensing a dangerous aroma in the air.

    What exactly was written in that document?
