half thorns, half joy

The big conference room of the Xiao Group.

All the directors came, and dozens of directors were sitting in the large conference room, talking quietly with the people next to them.

The first person sitting in the leftmost row is Director Liu Qingliu. His eyebrows are raised high, and the corners of his mouth and brows are full of smirks that the plot is about to succeed.

But it is also true that he has nothing to hide when things have developed to this point.No matter what, Zhao Suizhi must hand over the chairman's position today.

The secretary opened the door, and Zhao Suizhi walked into the big meeting room.

In an instant, the members of the board of directors who were talking in low voices immediately fell silent, and all looked at Zhao Suizhi in unison.

Contrary to what they had guessed, Zhao Suizhi didn't look depressed or collapsed, and was even more calm and elegant than usual.

She walked slowly to the chairman's seat in the middle and sat down, sweeping around the directors present.

Liu Qing met Zhao Suizhi's gaze, sneered, and said loudly: "Mrs. Xiao, you are still putting on airs at this time, and don't even think about what your situation is now."

Zhao Suizhi smiled plainly, and asked Liu Qing: "What does Director Liu think about my situation?"

Zhao Suizhi's calmness and elegance set off Liu Qing even more like an impatient villain with little quality.

Did not see Zhao Suizhi panicked, Liu Qing was extremely upset in his heart, he snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "It is said that your Xiao family is indifferent, I think this is true, your son is dead, you can still I really can't compliment you for being so calm and indifferent."

These words hit Zhao Suizhi's heart directly.

She really wanted to throw the water bottle in front of her directly at Liu Qing's face, smashing Liu Qing's vicious face.

But in front of so many people, she held back.

Zhao Suizhi sneered, stared straight at Liu Qing, and asked, "Who said Zihan is dead? Director Liu, if you say such a thing with such certainty, can I call the police, and can I reasonably suspect that you are right? What did Zihan do, is it related to Zihan's disappearance?"

"It's none of my business!" Liu Qing retorted hastily, "If Xiao Zihan is not missing or dead, you can tell him to come out." He narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly, "Mrs. Xiao, it could be that you want to take power yourself, So let's do it to your son."

Zhao Suizhi's nails dug into the palm of his hand.

The neutral faction sitting in the other row did not stand in line, but after all, they had seen Xiao Zihan save the entire Xiao family by himself, and they still admired Xiao Zihan from the bottom of their hearts.

At this moment, listening to Liu Qing humiliating a person who may have passed away like this, he couldn't bear it anymore, coughed lightly, and stopped Liu Qing.

"Okay, Director Liu, pay attention to your words and deeds, we are not here today to talk about these things."

Liu Qing made a disdainful cut, leaned back on the back of the chair, looked at Zhao Suizhi leisurely, and said, "Okay, then let's talk about business, the shipwreck of Zhao Er's freight, the project of "Cultivating God", Mrs. Xiao, you Since I am acting as the acting chairman now, I will give you a solution."

Zhao Suizhi didn't respond.

The solution was to pay, but these people refused to pay in every possible way, so she had nothing to do.

"Sure enough." Liu Qing took the opportunity to say: "Mrs. Xiao, you have no solution, right?"

Zhao Suizhi still didn't speak.

Liu Qing clapped his palms and stood up, swept around the dozens of board members present, and said intentionally: "Look, everyone, we have to rely on such people now, and we will hand over our wealth to such a person who can do everything. A woman who doesn’t understand. Heh, what awaits us in the future is bankruptcy! There are no bones left after being eaten!”

"Liu Qing!" Zhao Suizhi roared unbearably.

Liu Qing ignored Zhao Suizhi and continued to incite the members of the board of directors, "Now Xiao Zihan is missing, yes, he is missing, but I think everyone knows what it means to be missing for such a long time. Right."

"Since this is the case, the acting chairman should also give way to someone who is talented and can truly lead everyone to solve difficulties."

This has been said very straightforwardly, that is, he himself wants to be the chairman.

But after these days, everyone has noticed it, and they all look at Liu Qing with no surprise, and hear what more convincing words he can say.

Liu Qing also saw the scrutiny of these people. He knew that such a crisis was not enough to completely shake the reputation and power of the Xiao family.

So, he smiled and showed his cards.

"Mrs. Xiao, do you know Xiao Yu?" He suddenly asked Zhao Suizhi.

Zhao Suizhi had already prepared a countermeasure, that is, to ignore it. It is a big deal to change the chairman, and it cannot be changed casually. Location.

However, she did not expect that Liu Qing would mention Xiao Yu at this juncture.

She panicked suddenly, and looked at Liu Qing vigilantly with wide eyes, "Liu Qing, what do you want to say."

Liu Qing smiled meaningfully, and turned to look at other curious directors, "Yes, everyone knows that Xiao Yu is the secretary of our former chairman Xiao Mingyuan, right?"

Zhao Suizhi's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth secretly.

"Liu Qing, we are talking about business today, don't go too far!" Zhao Suizhi couldn't bear it, and warned Liu Qing in a low voice.

However, what Liu Qing wanted to see was Zhao Suizhi's gaffe.

He laughed out loud, and his complacent look was extremely crazy, "Why, Mrs. Xiao, what are you afraid of?"

That's right, the other directors also became curious about what Mrs. Xiao was afraid of.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and answered the doubts of other directors who didn't know, "Actually, Mrs. Xiao, you also know that Xiao Yu is not only Xiao Mingyuan's secretary, but also has another identity, he is Xiao Mingyuan's illegitimate son."

Zhao Suizhi's face became completely pale, she closed her eyes, trembling slightly.

This scandal that even Xiao Mingyuan was suppressed when he was in prison cannot be concealed after all, and it will be exposed to the sun after all.

As soon as Liu Qing said these two words, the audience was in an uproar.

No one thought that there was such a thing.

No wonder, Xiao Yu had the same surname as Xiao Mingyuan. No wonder, he was a nephew, but he valued him more than his own son.

"Are you thinking now that if Xiao Yu hadn't been in prison, then Xiao Zihan and Xiao Yu might have fought for the chairmanship of the Xiao Group?"

Liu Qing walked behind Zhao Suizhi and patted Zhao Suizhi's chair viciously, "This is another story, and I'll tell you today."

Zhao Suizhi suddenly opened his eyes, turned to stare at Liu Qing, "Liu Qing, you are enough!"

"Don't want me to say it anymore? Are you afraid? What about the position of chairman? Do you want to let me go or not?"

Liu Qing even said such coercive words on the bright side, it was like forcing the palace, but everyone couldn't care about it now, and the directors present were all crazy curious about the story Liu Qing said about Xiao Yu.

Obviously, that was an extremely explosive story, too.

Zhao Suizhi clenched her fists. To be honest, she wanted to back down for a moment, and wanted to leave this mess behind. Anyway, her son was missing and her husband was no longer alive. She really didn't want to participate in these power struggles anymore.

but……

When she thought of Tang Xuan who was waiting for her to go back home, and Tang Xuan who stayed up all night to write the promotional drafts and accompanied her to adjust the plan despite all kinds of discomfort in the early pregnancy, she couldn't give up.

Seeing that Zhao Suizhi's eyes became stubborn again, Liu Qing knew that Zhao Suizhi had not compromised, so he smiled contemptuously, and then continued.

"Everyone knows that the former chairman and the chairman's wife of the Xiao Group are on the same page, and they are in an enviable agreement. But no one knows that the former chairman has actually been supporting people outside."

The ugly past was torn apart again, Zhao Suizhi was shaking with anger, and the nails had already pinched the palm of his hand with bloodstains.

"But there's nothing to say about it. After all, it's someone's family business. But the funny thing is that they are doing such indecent things, but they are setting up the persona of a loving couple to the outside world. You have to admit that the Xiao family , you really know how to act."

Those who stood in Zhao Suizhi's faction couldn't listen to Liu Qing teasing Zhao Suizhi's past like this.

He stood up and retorted, "Liu Qing! The company is a place to talk about business affairs. Who hasn't discussed any shameful private matters? Your mother-in-law talks so much, don't you feel like a gossip?"

People in Liu Qing's camp spoke for Liu Qing, "Xiao Yu used to be a member of the Xiao Group, so it's not a private matter. Director Liu, go ahead."

Liu Qing glanced at the person who was still standing in for Zhao Suizhi, and said with a sneer, "What's wrong with the gossip woman, it's better than some people who are so indifferent that they can send their sons to prison to take the blame!"

"What?" In an instant, there was an uproar.

Zhao Suizhi didn't expect Liu Qing to know this, and his legs went limp.

"Yes, you heard me right." Liu Qing stared straight at Zhao Suizhi, and said with a jokey tone: "It is the acting chairman in front of you who, in order to protect the crimes committed by his son and husband, put The illegitimate son who knew nothing was pushed out and went to jail for them!"

"impossible!"

"Exactly! Liu Qing, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Although some people still stand up to question, most of the people present are beginning to waver.

Because the news was too explosive, and because Xiao Yu was arrested too suddenly.

But, was it really Zhao Suizhi and Xiao Mingyuan who jointly sent Xiao Yu to prison?

As Xiao Mingyuan's wife, Zhao Suizhi should hate this illegitimate child very much, so it seems not impossible...

If what Liu Qing said is true, then the one who should go to jail should be Xiao Zihan, or even Zhao Suizhi, not Xiao Yu...

Looking at it this way, Xiao Yu is the pitiful and innocent person.
