While eating breakfast, Leon’s phone rang again. It was Mr. Hua’s secretary who called again to urge us, but this time the itinerary was changed. Instead of going to the Hua family’s mansion, we went directly to the Hua Group’s headquarters.
In order not to be flashy, I didn’t drive myself, just went along in Leon’s car to the group headquarters.
Along the way, neither of us spoke and had our own worries.
“Is there anything I need to be aware of or anything to tell me when I get to the office in a while,?” I asked Leon.
“Have you guessed the purpose of the old master’s sending us there?” Leon asked me rhetorically.
“It must be an official matter that connected with me, and if it is a private issue, it will no necessary to let us come to the company to settle it. It’s only been two days since I assumed office, and I didn’t handle much official business, so there was no lapse. So this matter, it must have something to do with Moyun Feng.”
Leon nodded, “Now that you understand, then I don’t need to confide anything. In a word, say what you want say and do what you want do. You don’t have to worry about offending anyone. I have a feeling that the senior master let you into the company with the intention that you would break this balance that has been maintained so far.”
“But I’m a soft little girl with little influence, how can I possibly break that balance just by myself?”
“No, you have your own value. Your overall performance is still good for now. The old master knew countless people, and he never makes a mistake in judging a person.”
I was inevitably a little snickered, “So you don’t think I’m a loser either?”
“Sure, you’re just stupid, but not a loser.”
“You think I’m stupid, just because you’re stupid. You have eyes but fail to see a high mountain.” I don’t hesitate to take it back.
Leon didn’t resent it, but only looked out the window at Financial Street, “The gap between the Hua’s company and the rest of the company continues to be narrowed, if we don’t resolve the years of internal conflict, we’ll be a second-rate company.”
“Actually, I don’t understand, these two are couples, and the Hua and Feng families are both a glory and a loss. Why did she push for internal conflict? Wouldn’t it be nice to get along with each other?” I asked Leon.
“The reason is simple, she did not have children with Mr. Hua, so she is insecure. Back then, when the Hua’s company was in crisis, it was only because the Feng family intervened to save its life, so she took it for granted that everything about the Hua family belonged to her. But she didn’t have children to inherit and was therefore insecure, just as there were no concubines in the ancient palace who bore royal sons. Of course there are some other reasons, such as complexity of human nature. In the future, you will comprehend it.”
With saying, they arrived at the headquarters. When he entered the office building, almost all the staff members who passed by knew Leon, and greeted him. But he was indifferent, occasionally nodding slightly in response.
Take the specialized elevator directly to Mr. Hua’s office. In the office, besides Mr. Hua, there were also Xiang, Moyun and San, whose face was wounded, as well as another middle-aged man, one of the board members, and a highly ranked director, who should be from the Feng family.
Once I saw the situation, I already understood a few things. It’s actually similar to what I had previously guessed in my mind.
There’s an old saying about the evil one suing first, and it’s clear Moyun is doing it now, and San saw me and Leon come in and obviously started to get nervous and bowed his head.
Mr. Hua was extremely angry and was in a bad mood, while Xiang was staring at me with a malicious look as if she wanted to hit me.
I didn’t speak, waiting for Leon to say first, “Chairman, what’s the reason of calling me here?”
He called him ‘chairman’, not ‘father’, which meant there was no family affairs here, it’s just all business.
“Moyun told me that you couple to join forces to bully her and have affected the normal operation of the company. Aunt Xiang and the directors are also concerned about the matter, so they asked you to come and find out about the situation.” Mr. Hua said.
Moyun reported the matter to Xiang, who then took advantage of the situation to find a director of the Feng family to help them deal with Leon and me.
I glanced over at Leon, who gestured with a look that indicated I didn’t need to be in a hurry. So I didn’t speak or rush to defend myself.
“I’m not sure about this thing actually. How about you explain it yourself? Just talk about how we’ve joined forces to influence the running of the company?” Leon’s knife-like gaze coldly looked at Moyun.
“You, talk about what the hell was going on.” Moyun looked to San again.
San didn’t dare to lift his head until the end.
“Just say it!” Moyun hit San.
“It’s like this, our sales department’s middle management and above got together for a dinner that night, Chief Yao was drunk and asked me to drive her home. She was too drunk to walk at all, so I took her to the hotel to rest. Then she met a few people, and she bit me back, so those people beat me up. The next day I went to her home to argue, and it turned out that Xuanlong, who was under President Hua, had someone drive a car to hit me and beat me up again.” San said.
“Listen, a sales director who drinks herself out of shape in front of her subordinates. Where is the good image of company executives? Isn’t that a joke for all the employees to see? Doing the wrong thing, and still looking for black forces to beat people up, how can this be done by a company executive? Always being called the fourth brother, you are really a mob boss.” Moyun took the words with a sneer.
Leon gave a cold laugh, but didn’t immediately responded.
“What are you laughing at? Tell me what’s going on?” Mr. Hua said angrily.
Leon looked over at me, “Go ahead, did you get someone to hit him?”
“I did get together with them that night, but I didn’t drink a lot, I just got drugged. Then San Zhao took me forcibly to the hotel. It was meeting my friend that saved me.” I replied calmly.
“Haha, did something humiliating yourself and don’t dare admit it. How dare you get someone to hit others! It’s unbelievable. If these things are made known to the employees of the company, I wonder how they will be able to command hundreds of employees in the future?” Moyun Feng smiled coldly.
Xiang looked towards Mr. Hua, “Yaohui, you won’t not deal with after something like this happens, right? You must expel the perpetrator of such a heinous act! Otherwise, it can’t be accounted for to the board.”
Mr. Hua’s gaze was somewhat cold, “Things are not clear yet. What’s the harry? There are company rules, and it’s not something you can deal with if you want to.”
Xiang was mad of course, “The facts are already clear, this manager Zhao is covered in injuries, everyone saw it, what else is there to say?”
“If the truth comes out about this, is the party at fault going to voluntarily resign?” Leon asked coldly.
“Of course! The company will not tolerate such black sheep! The Hua’s Company is a public company, and it’s a disgrace to the company to have such executives in the company!” Xiang Feng said.
“Good.” Leon responded. And then looked at me.
I took out my recorder and turned the volume up to the max. Inside is the voice of San Zhao.
“That thing, indeed, I do have malice. Mr. Feng said that Guanghua was always in the company, he was already difficult to deal with, now Nala, you are here again. You and your husband and wife will join forces to deal with him, so he asked me to bring you to the hotel, take some indecent photos. He wanted to use to threaten you. I have received some rebates from customers before, there is a secret in the hands of Mr. Feng, I do not dare to disobey ah, so listen to him, Mr. Yao, I do not dare to hurt you anymore, I really have no way. Please spare me.”
The recording was clear and everyone heard it, Moyun was furious and kicked at San, “You f**king dare to frame me!”
