I really didn’t expect that, just because of me, even the president of the board had to work overtime to deal with it, so it could be seen that the Feng family’s power within the corporation had some limits on the Hua family.
Among those present were Moyun Feng, Xiang Feng, the main head of the PR department of Hua Corporation and two other directors.
The corner of Moyun Feng’s mouth wore a sarcastic smile. He might think that I was going to be removed from my post this time.
“Nala Yao, what the hell is going on?” Yaohui Hua pointed at the picture on the table and shouted at me sternly
“Isn’t that obvious? She must have been out looking for a lover under the pretext of being in charge of the project.” Xiang Feng said coldly.
Before I had time to speak, Leon said loudly, “Aunt Xiang. It’s not appropriate for you to say that, is it? You’re jumping to that conclusion before we know what’s going on. Couldn’t this have been a deliberate prearrangement on your part?”
“Leon, what do you mean? You don’t care about your wife, and now she’s in such a scandal, you’re defending her?” Xiang Feng was also furious.
Before I could say a word, they got into a fight.
“Everybody shut up and let her speak for herself. She’s not even talking. What’s all the fuss? Any of you who argue again, get the hell out of here!” Yaohui Hua roared.
Now everyone was quiet. Although Yaohhui Hua was restrained by the Feng Family, he was, after all, the president of the board, and during the time he was in office, all people still had to follow his orders.
“President Hua, I can spell it out.” I said.
I hesitated for a moment before explaining it to them. One thing on my mind was whether or not I should tell them that I was the sister of the Wenbei Su. If I said it, it would make the Feng family even more nervous, because they didn’t want me to have too much contact with the Su family, and they were worried that the Su family would become my powerful backstage, which would pose a certain threat to them.
If I didn’t tell them, then I couldn’t explain Wenbei Su’s intimate gesture towards me, and I couldn’t explain the matter. So I didn’t know exactly how to both explain things and keep the Feng family from knowing about my relationship with the Su family.
“Then explain it, how did you hook up with him?” Xiang Feng said again.
“If Aunt Feng has drawn a conclusion, then what should I explain?” I asked coldly in return.
“You…”
“You shut up, let her explain.” Yaohui Hua said to Xiang Feng angrily.
“Wenbei and I are very good friends. There was nothing intimate about this action at that time, it was just being snapped from an angle that could easily be misunderstood, and so from the photo we seem intimate. If someone has to make a point out of this, then he can create some problems whether I have them or not.”
Seeing that they didn’t speak, I continued.
“The Su family is a famous family in Yang City. Wenbei is a highly qualified student at a prestigious university and Wall Street elite who has worked in the world’s top investment banks. Both his background and his experience are impeccable. How could such a person, in spite of his reputation, have an intimate act with a married woman? How stupid can we be before we intentionally damage our image on the street?”
“Nala Yao, you still haven’t explained it clearly either, what were you guys doing at that time?” Xiang Feng said sternly.
“Quite simple, we did nothing. At that time, Mr. Su was pointing behind me and saying that the cafe was nice, that’s all.” I said coldly too.
“With such an explanation, do you think anyone believes you? Do you take us for fools?” Moyun Feng said.
“You shut up, you don’t get to talk here. Nala Yao is my woman and I will take care of her. When I used to work together on projects, I would sometimes hug the female partner because the project made progress. So in your eyes, I’m behaving badly? You guys talk about things if you have something, don’t always talk about it with a picture.” Leon spoke for me.
I was so grateful that he could say something like that.
His attitude was crucial in this matter. If he joined Xiang Feng and the others in targeting me, then my situation would be even worse.
“Yaohui, do you hear what Leon had said? Nala Yao has cheated on him and he still helps her, he is really …”
Yaohui Hua quickly interrupted her words, “You shut up! You’d better watch your own words!”
As they were arguing, that’s when another person came along. “President Hua, the City Construction Company on the Yang City issues a statement saying they have never bribed any partner. They reserve the right to sue if there is any more malicious slander. There is also a statement from Nanhe Corporation saying that they would take legal action against anything that tarnishes Nanhe Corporation’s reputation. That’s what the statement is about.”
Yaohui Hua looked at it and handed it to the two directors. “What do you guys think?”
“This whole thing could just be a misunderstanding. The City Construction Group for the Yang City project represents the local government, and I fear there will be more serious consequences if we don’t get along with them. Now that they have declared it, I think we can end this.” One of the directors said.
“I think so, too.” Another director also said.
Xiang Feng wanted to say something again, and was stopped by Yaohui Hua,”Business and private matters should be treated differently, don’t mix business and private matters together. And don’t you always think about fighting for power. If the company goes bankrupt, none of you will get the benefit!”
Xiang Feng was black with anger, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
She should also know about the Su family’s status in Yang City, otherwise she wouldn’t be afraid of me getting too close to the Su family.
“Your PR department also sent out a statement saying there was a misunderstanding. Hua Corporation cherishes the opportunity to cooperate with Nanhe Corporation and hopes for mutual benefit in the future, striving for cooperation in more areas.” He told the head of the PR department.
“Yes, I’ll get right on it.” The man answered and then went out.
“Chairman, so this matter is just left alone? Nala Yao’s dereliction of duty, and that man from the Su family…” Moyun Feng was not pleased.
“Moyun Feng, I’ll remind you once again, if not in front of the president and a few directors, I’d slap you in the face right now! It’s not your turn to take care of my family business!” Leon coldly tipped back.
“Leon Hua, you….”
“Well, all stop talking, it’s getting late, let’s all get off work. Don’t go for trivial things to try to screw the other person. If one can do a good job and brings benefits for the company, one will eventually get promoted.” Yaohui Hua’s words were clearly for Moyun Feng.
At this time, another staff came in, “President Hua, Nanhe Corporation sent an invitation to invite you and Director Yao to their company’s 30th anniversary celebration.”
Everyone froze again, and not only did Nanhe Corporation not reprimand me for affecting their reputation, but I was really surprised that President Hua and I were invited to their celebration.
“Tell them that Yao and I will attend on time.” He said.
“Yaohui, how can an ordinary executive like Nala Yao who don’t even make the board be qualified to attend the event with you?” Xiang Feng huffed angrily.
“It’s invited by Nanhe Corporation, don’t you hear? Since they have invited Nala Yao, it shows that they value their cooperation with her. This is a good opportunity to repair the relations, do you want to ruin it again?” Yaohui Hua said coldly.
Xiang Feng was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She stood up, shot an angry look at me and left.
