The atmosphere in the Xie family's hall fell silent for a moment.

When several group shareholders and the second branch of the Xie family heard Xie Zheng say that he wanted to withdraw from the Xie Corporation, their expressions looked a little bad.

Especially the second branch of the Xie family.

Although they wanted to pull Xie Zheng down from the position of power and replace the decision-makers of the Xie family with people from their own family, it did not mean that they really wanted to fight to the death and make Xie Zheng leave. They just wanted control of the family.

You have to know that they do not get along with the first wife, but they still acknowledge Xie Zheng's abilities.

Xie Zheng stepping down and Xie Zheng leaving are two completely different concepts.

In the former case, Xie Zheng stepped down, but continued to work for Xie Group, and the final distribution of interests only changed; while in the latter case, Xie Zheng's departure represented the separation of Xie Group.

Although everyone will be peaceful and comfortable after the latter split up, the shrinkage of assets means that the benefits will also shrink. After all, the investment and the income are closely related.

Don't forget, no matter how they jump around, the shares held by the eldest wife are as solid as a mountain.

Unless their second branch can get the shares from the first branch, it won’t matter whether Xie Zheng leaves or not. Otherwise, if the shares held by the eldest wife are sold out, it will be a problem whether the Xie Group will still be named Xie in the future...

Several group shareholders also did not want to let Xie Zheng leave. After all, to be honest, Xie Zheng had led the Xie Group very well over the years. They just want more benefits, so they support the second branch of the Xie family to take power.

Immediately, the tone of both parties softened.

"Xie Zheng, we are just discussing the decision-making candidates for the family. Our goal is to make the Xie family better. We are not blaming you for anything. Why do you have to be so impulsive and angry?"

"Yes, yes. No matter what our two families do, it is an internal matter. Why do you have to escalate it to the level of splitting up the family? If our ancestors knew about this, they would be furious."

"The decision-making position should be held by capable people. Now that your first branch has lost its talent, our second branch is filling the gap for the sake of the family. When your first branch has talented people, we will compete again. Only such conscientious competition can help the Xie family develop better, right?"

Several older people from the second house began to persuade them.

No matter how unhappy the two families are in getting along, the Xie family must never split up. Splitting up the family means shrinking assets, which is disadvantageous to both families.

Several group shareholders also nodded.

"Mr. Xie, we are all businessmen, and we can't go against money. How about you take a look at the resources that Ms. Zhou and her team have provided, and then we can continue to discuss it? Mr. Xie, we promise that those materials will definitely make our Xie Group the focus of the new century, and create glory together..."

"Together we can create glory? Are you sure you won't just abandon us when the time comes?"

Xie Zheng looked indifferent, and directly signaled his assistant to take a few resignation letters and throw them on the table.

"Since you have made up your mind, there is no need to say any more nonsense. This is the resignation letter from all managers of our first branch's companies. From today on, the first branch of the Xie family is no longer a member of the Xie family."

"The property of the two houses was already distributed and will not be changed. As for our first house's shares in Xie's... since you, the second house, care so much about the family, if you can afford the price, then buy back our first house's shares; if you can't afford it, then don't have any objections to our subsequent sale of shares."

"in addition……"

Xie Zheng's gaze fell on the group of Xie family branches sitting in the back.

"As for you side branches, I won't make any suggestions. Those who are willing to follow the main branch can go together this time; those who don't want to leave the Xie family don't care, it all depends on your own wishes."

"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it. After ten minutes, those who are willing to leave with our big house should stand on the left side."

After saying.

Xie Zheng stopped talking.

Although everyone in the big house glared at everyone angrily, it was meaningless to Xie Zheng's words.

When the conflict broke out between the two families, the family business had already been divided up, leaving only Xie's shares and rights. Now, as long as their eldest son is willing to sell his shares, the division of the family will be very simple.

"In that case, let's choose the side branch."

Seeing the resignation letter on the table, Ms. Zhou knew there was no room for negotiation and could only nod with a cold face.

If the family is to be divided, then it is divided. She just doesn't believe that without Xie Zheng and the first wife, their second wife will really be unable to accomplish anything. With Yan Tong's information, what does it matter if the assets shrink? In a few years, they will make the Xie family surpass its former glory.

The second branch of the family has not been living off the fat of the land in the Xie family all these years. So what even if Xie Zheng took away all the capable members of the first branch? She just didn't believe that without Xie Zheng, the Xie Group would not be able to continue operating!

The fight between the first and second wives is bound to be a life-and-death battle.

The side branches of the Xie family were really annoyed and troubled. This choice was too difficult to make. If they made the wrong choice, the consequences would be disastrous.

People from the side branches began to discuss it.

"What should I do? Should I go with the first wife, or stay with the second wife?"

"Do I need to think about it? Of course I will go with the eldest wife. Xie Zheng's ability is obvious to all. The Xie family has been able to safely survive all the crises, big and small, in the past few years. Which time was not thanks to Xie Zheng? Xie Zheng was taught by the old man personally..."

"But no matter how capable Xie Zheng is, it won't be easy for him to start over after leaving the Xie family. Even if he has made preparations, the Second House won't let him develop in peace."

"That's right. I heard that this time all the shareholders of the group stood on the side of the Second House. The Second House won over a mysterious boss, the one who researched the sleep world. The Second House contacted him and decided to cooperate..."

"The second wife has evil ambitions. I don't trust their character. I will go with the first wife."

"Me too. Over the years, the Xie family has been torn apart by the Second Branch. If you hang out with the Second Branch, you'll be killed without knowing how. Besides, our family is more closely related to the First Branch, so I'm also related to the First Branch."

"You idiots, that's a fight between two houses, it's none of our business. Now the second house is obviously going to gain power, how can we let go of such a good opportunity?"

"I don't trust the second house. Even if I have to give up the opportunity, I am willing to start over with the first house to expand the territory."

"If the first wife leaves Xie's house like this, she will definitely suffer. I'd better stay with the second wife..."

Although the benefits offered by the second house are very tempting, not everyone will abandon their conscience and compromise for the sake of profit.

Besides, Xie Zheng’s prestige in the Xie family over the years was not gained for nothing.

In the end, all the branches started quarreling.

About one-third of the people still chose the first wife. Among them, there were those who believed that Xie Zheng had the ability to make a comeback; there were also those who did not trust the character of the second wife and would rather give up glory and stay away from disputes; and there were some who were closer to the first wife because of blood relationship and were naturally hostile to the second wife.

As for the remaining two thirds... people are tempted by interests, and reality is so cruel.

See everyone has made their choice.

Xie Zheng didn't want to stay here any longer, so he stood up.

"Okay, now that everyone has made their choice, from today on, the Xie family's first branch will no longer have any relationship with the Xie family. Let's go."

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing this, Ms. Zhou stopped them and said, "Our second branch wants to buy the shares you have. Besides, since we are dividing the family, it seems that this old house has not been divided yet."

"Yes, yes, yes. We haven't decided who will get the old house yet."

"Of course it's for the second wife. Since the first wife wants to leave the Xie family, she naturally can't keep this old house."

"All the uncles in the clan have stayed, so of course the old house must be left behind..."

When the Xie family's old house was mentioned, everyone was suddenly shocked, and the people from the second branch and those standing in the second branch's camp spoke up to express their ownership.

Just kidding, don’t think that this old house is just a house. It represents the Xie family’s century-old honor and is a symbol of the Xie family’s power. Losing the old house is equivalent to losing the stepping stone to establish connections with the older generation of the Xie family.

A group of people with ugly faces that can't be concealed.

Everyone in the first wife's house felt endless contempt in their hearts: these idiots, these mean guys who have succeeded, do they really think that they can own everything in the Xie family by driving out the first wife's house? Do you really think that an old house is the symbol of the Xie family? idiot.

"You can get the old house and shares if you want them. We'll sign the contract within three days once the funds are in place."

Xie Zheng looked at everyone in the second room expressionlessly, then left this sentence and strode away.

Everyone in the big house followed.

From beginning to end, Xie Zheng's attitude was very indifferent, without any of the fierce tactics he used when he was fighting for power with the second branch.

This couldn't help but make the remaining people in the second house feel a little uneasy.

"Xie Zheng just left like that? Does he really not care about the Xie Group anymore?"

"He didn't even fight for the ownership of the old house. Why do I feel a little uneasy?"

"Isn't he going to have some stupid tricks waiting for us?"

Although it is a good thing for things to go smoothly and successfully, it will make people feel anxious if things go too smoothly.

Xie Zheng is not a softie who is easy to bully. When he was fighting for power with the second branch, he used such terrifying and fierce methods. But now he let the second branch win easily. No matter how he thinks about it, something feels wrong.

Ms. Zhou did not expect that Xie Zheng would accomplish her goal so easily this time. She was still waiting to have a heated argument with Xie Zheng. Could it be that Xie Zheng had some tricks up his sleeve waiting for them?

But even if there is a back-up plan, as long as Xie is there, as long as they have the information and the mysterious boss, their second branch has nothing to fear.

Think of this.

Ms. Zhou glanced coldly at the worried crowd and snorted.

"What are you afraid of? Xie Zheng is the only person left in the first house who can support the family. Even if they make a stupid move, they are nothing without the Xie family! Have we spent all these years in the Xie family in vain? Xie Zheng alone frightened you like this. If you are so timid, why didn't you follow the first house?!"

"But..." Everyone was worried. Xie Zheng's attitude was really weird.

"No buts. We have already torn our faces apart. No matter what Xie Zheng is capable of, you all have to keep the group stable. As long as we can get through this crisis and start the R&D plan, the first wife won't matter!"

Ms. Zhou knocked and looked around at everyone in the second room.

At this point, they have no other choice but to go down this path.

Ms. Zhou doesn't know much about business, but she can still grasp the general direction.

The shares held by the first branch of the Xie family must never be sold to anyone else, including the shareholders of the group, otherwise the second branch will definitely be caught in a constrained situation. At that time, whether the Xie family is still the Xie family of the Xie family is a question worth pondering.

Of course, Ms. Zhou had also thought about whether Xie Zheng had any conspiracy in selling his shares to the second wife so easily.

But even if they felt something was wrong, they had no choice but to buy it. They couldn't just watch Xie Zheng's shares fall into the hands of others. Even if there are any problems with these shares, we can find a way to solve them when the time comes. It's impossible for Xie Zheng's departure to cause the entire Xie Group to go bankrupt, right?

Maybe Xie Zheng was really forced into a corner by them, otherwise how could Xie Zheng agree to adopt Xie Wenxu? No matter how powerful Xie Zheng is, he is just one person. How can he compete with their second branch which is full of talented people?

Besides, their second branch has already grasped enough chips to turn the situation around, so no matter how Xie Zheng fights back, they are not afraid.

The first wife holds a lot of Xie's shares, but the second wife has been planning for many years, so it is not difficult for them to work together to get Xie Zheng's shares. It doesn’t matter if there is not enough cash, the second wife inherited a lot of Xie family’s property, real estate, jewelry and antiques.

So the next day, the second branch of the Xie family came over and quickly traded the shares and the old house held by the first branch.

Xie Zheng didn't say anything. When the funds were in place, he directly gave the Xie's shares and the inheritance rights of the old house to the second wife, and at the same time terminated the adoption relationship with Xie Wenxu.

Both parties had no objections, so the procedures went very smoothly.

After all the formalities were completed, Xie Zheng and the official Xie Group jointly announced the news of Xie Zheng's resignation. And a press conference announcing the separation of the two branches of the Xie family.

When this happened, it shocked everyone.

Compared to the Fang family back then, the Xie family is the real wealthy family. The two branches of the Xie family separated and even severed their relationship. Under such circumstances, everyone can easily guess that something dirty must have happened in the Xie family.

Especially since Xie Zheng actually resigned directly from the Xie Group. This will definitely have a huge impact on the circle's power and connections.

Therefore, when the Xie family's affairs came to light, it attracted not only the ordinary people who liked to watch the gossip about wealthy families, but also the attention of the entire upper class circle.

No one understood why Xie Zheng wanted to leave the Xie family. They simply didn't believe that with Xie Zheng's ability, he was defeated by the second branch of the Xie family. And he left in such a disgrace. Was this cowardly guy really the Xie Zheng they knew?

Most people didn't believe it, especially those who were on good terms with Xie Zheng. Don’t forget, Xie Zheng is nicknamed the Devil Shark in the industry.

In fact, even the second branch of the Xie family didn’t believe that Xie Zheng would leave so easily.

…

As expected.

On the second day after the press conference on the separation and severance of relations between the two branches of the Xie family, the Xie Group received news that half of its employees had collectively resigned.

This sudden incident was both expected and unexpected.

They knew that with Xie Zheng's ability and personal charm, it was not surprising that someone in the group would follow him, but they did not expect that there would be so many!

What is most infuriating is that there are actually huge problems with the signing of these people's contracts. If they want to leave, the group has no way of restricting them with contracts, because the contracts of these employees who resigned expire this month.

What does this mean?

This means that Xie Zheng was not forced to leave by them. It was Xie Zheng who wanted to leave on his own!

"Boss Huang, the contracts of these resigned employees are all wrong. How could it be such a coincidence? Moreover, the contracts of our group are all signed for ten years, but these people's contracts are only five years. I'm afraid Boss Xie has planned to leave the group a long time ago..."

Several group shareholders suddenly felt a little panicked.

If Xie Zheng had planned to leave Xie Corporation five years ago, the other party would definitely have used more means than just taking away a few employees.

"Why are you panicking? Just let these people go. We can save time on cleaning up and just assign new people to take their positions."

Ms. Zhou was mentally prepared and did not find this situation particularly difficult to accept.

Her many victories over Xie Zheng over the years have given her a lot of confidence. In the past, she was able to force Xie Zheng to adopt Xie Wenxu. Now that Xie Zheng has been kicked out of the Xie family, what huge waves can he make?

She had long expected that Xie Zheng would take away a group of people from the group, so she was not unprepared.

"First, arrange for people to take up their posts to stabilize the company, and then immediately check the group's accounts and business information. If Xie Zheng still wants to do something, he will definitely start from these places..."

"Okay. Let's get started."

The group shareholders had no choice but to do this.

After all, Xie's company has been established for many years, and Xie Zheng is not the only one who has the final say in the entire group. Although many employees have resigned this time, it is not a devastating blow. They all have their own trained personnel who can fill in the positions in time, so Xie's company will not fall into turmoil.

But they soon discovered how wrong they were.

After working sleeplessly for several days, they checked the group's accounts and business information. They found no problems with the contract on the surface and in actual operation, and it was impossible to reveal any shady information about the construction period or business.

Unfortunately, however, they ended up finding huge commonalities on a large portion of their foreign contracts.

That is, the contract penalties for these foreign orders are all terribly low!

In other words, this means that once these contract parties breach the contract, their group will face a very terrible loss.

"These foreign order contracts were all signed by Xie Zheng. He, he must have done it on purpose..."

Some small shareholders were trembling with pale faces.

They were all trapped by Xie Zheng.

When Xie Zheng first joined the group, he used thundering means to intimidate them, making them dare not provoke them easily. Not long after that, he demonstrated amazing management and operational capabilities and signed several foreign orders with huge profit margins. His sweet talk established the other party's position in the group.

In the following years, many foreign contracts were also negotiated by Xie Zheng.

Because every order is profitable, and except for a few eye-catching large orders, the rest are insignificant small orders, so no one cares much and just waits for dividends peacefully.

But now...

The door of the conference room was hastily pushed open, and a secretary shouted in panic,

"Director Huang, Director Xu, Director Zou, something bad has happened. The international order department just called and said that several foreign companies want to temporarily terminate their contracts. The orders involved are as high as more than a hundred!"

“Crack.”

The pen in Ms. Zhou's hand was broken.

"And, and..."

"what else?"

"Also, it was revealed that cultural relics were unearthed from our group's land..."

The secretary who was reporting was trembling.

The biggest fear of those working in real estate is unearthing cultural relics or ancient tombs. Once this happens, not only will the construction period be extended indefinitely, but the land won at a high bid may even be lost.

A small company with a tight financial situation would definitely be dragged down if it encounters this problem, and a large group would also suffer a lot if it encounters this problem.

Now several shareholders of the group could no longer sit still. They stood up suddenly and asked in fear,

"Which piece of land?"

Real estate is one of the main businesses of the Xie family, and each piece of land developed is no small undertaking.

The secretary was shaking and almost crying. "No, not just one piece of land, but several pieces of land. They are the villa and commercial area plan in City F and the Bishui Villa plan in City Y proposed by President Xie last year... Ancient cultural relics were found in all three pieces of land."

boom--

Upon hearing this, several group shareholders felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The villa and commercial area plan in City F, and the Bishui Villa plan in City Y. These three pieces of land will be a major investment for the real estate department in the next five years!

Ms. Zhou's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she suddenly said to the secretary,

"You mean the land in City F and City Y? Where is the exact location? Show me the contract, quickly!"

The secretary was frightened by her scream, but quickly ran out and brought back some documents.

Ms. Zhou took the document and looked through it immediately.

Then his face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing this, several group shareholders asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the location of these plots of land?"

"Yes, there is a big problem!"

Ms. Zhou looked at several shareholders of the group and said angrily, "You guys are in the group every day, but you don't have any involvement in three such big projects? These three plots of land all belong to the Xie family!"

In other words, the land development plan was nothing more than an excuse for Xie Zheng to extract funds from the group.

She originally thought that even if Xie Zheng had made some preparations and wanted to give them a major counterattack after leaving, it would definitely not be too serious.

After all, if there is any scandal or engineering problem in the company, it will not be possible to blame them. Xie Zheng should be held responsible, because those are problems that occurred during Xie Zheng's tenure, and Xie Zheng would not be stupid enough to let himself down like this.

So all Xie Zheng could do was to take away a group of backbone members of the group, as well as some business cooperation and connections.

But now…

Ms. Zhou found out that she was really wrong.

Xie Zheng was really ruthless. I'm afraid the other party never intended to take over Xie's company! Everything we said when we were forced to make concessions was fake! It's all fake!

Xie Zheng has indeed been working diligently over the years, but the content of this work is to diligently empty the Xie family’s funds!

"You idiots, Xie Zheng did so many things right under your noses, and you didn't even notice it? Do you come to the group every day to visit the garden?"

Ms. Zhou looked at the group shareholders and saw their faces were frighteningly dark.

"Didn't your second family also plant so many people in the group without anyone noticing? And the land, your Xie family's land was put up for auction, but you didn't even know about it!"

Several shareholders of the group were almost vomiting to death. They had no idea that the internal strife in the Xie family had become so serious that Xie Zheng actually abandoned the Xie family and gave up the Xie Group.

It’s not that they can’t clean up the mess now, but the losses will definitely be huge!

Just at this moment.

The secretary who was reporting the incident spoke again with a trembling voice and handed over the phone in his hand.

"Huang, Mr. Huang, Mr. Xu. You, you guys should check the news. Mr. Xie and that Tang Xun interacted with each other on Weibo..."

Ms. Zhou and several shareholders' faces changed again.

He snatched the phone, stretched his head to look at the phone screen, and suddenly he couldn't breathe.

Only seen on Weibo.

New World Technology Tang Xun V: Boss, welcome back home with your resignation~ [clapping][smile] Xie Zheng.

New World Technology Official Weibo: Hello, boss, to all employees! [Solemn][Excited] Xie Zheng.
