Chapter 379 Arrangement
“If you do this, the shareholders’ meeting can remove you from your position as president at any time,” Huo Sinian added.
Huo Zhizhou remained unperturbed: "Welcome."
Huo Sinian stared at him.
He didn't understand why he didn't care about this at all.
Power and money have always been the goals pursued by most people, and many people fight tooth and nail for them. But for Huo Zhizhou, they are things that can be given up at any time.
"The family will also remove you from the family tree," Huo Sinian threatened again.
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Huo Sinian really couldn't understand him.
What aristocratic families care about most is their genealogy and reputation. Is he really crazy to do this?
“I am not you, so it doesn’t matter whether I have these things or not.” Huo Zhizhou has never been someone who can be easily locked up. “If I am removed from the family tree, I will open my own. If I lose the Huo Group, I will start my own business.”
He has never been obsessed with his identities as president of the Huo Group and heir to the Huo family.
He knew he would eventually give it up; as long as he had something in his mind, he could thrive anywhere.
The Huo family was his worst option.
If Huo Sinian knew what he was thinking, he would probably be furious. What he cared about most and wanted most had become insignificant to Huo Zhizhou.
"If there's nothing else, take care and don't bother seeing me out." Huo Zhizhou didn't want to talk to him any further.
"Aren't you afraid that Dad will use Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui to threaten you?" Huo Sinian thought he was being too irrational. "Even if you stripped him of his power back then, his connections with those people are still there. If he really makes a move against Jiang Ruan, you're too far away to help him."
Huo Zhizhou said, "You shouldn't have this kind of brain."
Huo Sinian's expression remained unchanged: "What do you mean?"
Huo Zhizhou looked up and met his gaze: "Huo Sinian, your mind is in turmoil."
Huo Sinian's narrow eyes were deep black, and his face, devoid of much emotion, showed no expression.
"You're afraid that I'll destroy the Huo family and the Huo Group in order to deal with my father, so that you'll end up with nothing." Huo Zhizhou seemed to have mind-reading abilities; he knew everything even though Huo Sinian didn't show it.
Huo Sinian did not speak.
He was indeed worried about that.
Huo Zhizhou really wanted to do something that was achievable.
"Jiang Yu." Huo Zhizhou didn't want to say anything more to Huo Sinian. "See him out."
Jiang Yu walked in from outside, dressed in a suit, looking serious and earnest: "Mr. Huo, please."
Huo Sinian thought he would be able to watch a play, but instead of watching the play, he became a laughing stock.
When we arrived at the door.
Huo Sinian stopped and turned to look at him, his thin lips parting slightly as he said, "You shouldn't have told me all this beforehand. If Father finds out, he will definitely take countermeasures. He might even have already dismissed you from your position as president by the time you return."
Huo Zhizhou didn't reply to him.
He said in advance that he was only giving Huo Cheng a chance out of consideration for their family relationship.
If he were to reveal everything that happened back then and admit that he was the one who orchestrated the downfall of Shan Mu'an and his family, he would be the only one to pay the price.
But if he continues to deny it, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Boss, the young master has left." Assistant Jiang walked in.
Huo Zhizhou looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window, his voice much calmer than usual: "Is everything arranged?"
Assistant Jiang: "It's all arranged."
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
With Mo Mo and Tang Bai around, Ruan Ruan's personal safety shouldn't be a big problem.
He has spoken with people about Chairman Li and Qin Mo, and can ensure that the Li and Qin families will not cause her any more trouble in the short term.
As for the Huo family...
They also took countermeasures.
That way, even if he's not around, Ruanruan and Suisui can live safely.
“You shouldn’t have said those things to Young Master Huo,” Assistant Jiang said, worried. “What if he goes back and talks to your father, and the two of them team up against you?”
"Then tell Qin Mo about Lin Tan's situation." Huo Zhizhou had learned a lot during this time.
Assistant Jiang was still worried.
Huo Sinian is no pushover.
Huo Cheng is also a ruthless character.
If they really join forces, the BOSS probably won't have an easy time.
Huo Zhizhou didn't care about any of that. He sent some details he had thought of in advance to Tang Bai and Mo Mo, asking them to pay more attention when protecting Jiang Ruan.
Tang Bai was talking with Mo Mo when he received the message. He suddenly felt something was off when he saw it: "So detailed?"
Huo Zhizhou: "To avoid any accidents as much as possible."
Mo Mo: "It feels like I'm making my final arrangements."
Tang Bai: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou: "..."
Huo Zhizhou's voice message: "Can't you wish me well for once?"
"I wish you all the best." Tang Bai didn't know what had happened, but for Huo Zhizhou to put aside the young lady's affairs and return to Jingzhou at such a critical moment, it must be something very important.
"I've handed over Li Chengxuan's affairs to Ning San," Huo Zhizhou added. "If he comes back before I've finished dealing with my family matters, Ning San will communicate with you."
Tang Bai readily agreed: "No problem."
Huo Zhizhou did not reply.
Mo Mo was still watching the messages in the group chat between the three of them.
"I really feel like President Huo's words and actions are like he's making his final arrangements," he said to Tang Bai. "He's even secured all the resources in Haicheng. Isn't he afraid we'll use his resources for bad purposes?"
Tang Bai said directly, "I'm not afraid."
Mo Mo: "Why?"
Tang Bai: "He's stripped us so badly we're practically naked. What's there to be afraid of?"
Mo Mo: "..."
That makes sense, but: "How did he find out our identities? Didn't the captain say that they couldn't be found outside?"
"I'm not him, how would I know?" Tang Bai said dismissively. "Ask him yourself."
He had always thought it was an exaggeration to say that the second young master of the Huo family wielded immense power.
But when his information, identity, and purpose for coming to Jiang Ruan's side were discovered, he knew that this man was truly capable and had connections in all walks of life.
Jiang Ruan was completely unaware of these matters.
She was surprised to see Si Ning arrive, after all, they had only been separated for a short time, and she had just spoken to Gu Shixi on the phone a few tens of minutes earlier: "Are you here to persuade me to go to Jingzhou too?"
"Why would I advise you to do this?" Si Ning sat down familiarly, her expression casual.
Jiang Ruan didn't mince words: "Huo Zhizhou might not be able to accept it after learning the truth."
“That’s his own business. If he can’t get over it this time, you don’t need to pity him or feel sorry for him,” Si Ning said objectively. “Let him do what he’s told.”
Jiang Ruan felt at peace.
Si Ning remains the same as before, viewing things fairly.
Are you going back?
“I’m not going back,” Si Ning said. “This is between him and Huo Cheng. I came to you because I wanted to stay with you for a few days. I don’t know if you would be willing to take me in.”
"This is your home whenever you want." Jiang Ruan had feelings for Si Ning and considered her a friend. "However, I'll be a bit busy for the next few days and won't be able to stay home with you."
Si Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just play with Master and Sui Sui."
Jiang Ruan agreed without hesitation.
In her view, Shan Mu'an's matter was not only important to Huo Zhizhou, but also to Si Ning and Gu Shixi.
Si Ning must have her own reasons for not going back.
As a friend, I won't ask too many questions; I'll just offer enough support.
