As expected, Hong Guoliang found out about the embezzlement of 500 million yuan from the company.
Liu Qingyao cursed Zhong Yanhua in her heart, "You dare to betray me! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
However, she had already prepared for this situation.
Therefore, when questioned by Hong Guoliang, she was not afraid and readily admitted it.
"Yes, I encountered some difficulties and urgently needed a sum of money, so this morning I had Zhong Yanhua transfer 500 million to me."
"Encountering difficulties?"
Lin Xueyan sneered, "I think the rough stones you sold to Huang Yaoji and Wu Yifan were fake, and they are demanding compensation from you, but you can't raise the huge sum of money."
"And then, taking advantage of his position, he embezzled 500 million yuan from the company, right?"
"You're too arrogant. The company belongs to the Hong Group, do you think it's yours? You can't just take money whenever you want?"
Lin Xueyan had finally found an opportunity to attack Liu Qingyao, so how could she let it go? She was determined to take advantage of the situation to get back at her.
"Shut up!"
Liu Qingyao immediately retorted: "My business is none of your concern. Stop gossiping and adding fuel to the fire!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Xueyan refused to back down and gritted her teeth, saying, "In terms of position, we are both company presidents, so we are equals!"
"Although you are in charge of external projects, if you do anything that harms the company's interests, I have the right to intervene!"
"Mind your own business?"
Liu Qingyao sneered, "Lin Xueyan, do you think I'm the same person I was before, someone you can bully and humiliate at will?"
"Let me tell you, things are different now. The days when you bullied me are over. I will repay you tenfold for everything you did to me before!"
"Liu Qingyao, you..."
Lin Xueyan's face turned pale with anger as she looked at Hong Guoliang: "Chairman Hong, look how arrogant she is now! She doesn't respect you at all. If we don't teach her a painful lesson today and kick her out of the company, she will be a scourge to the group in the future!"
"Heh! You actually want to kick me out!"
Liu Qingyao laughed: "Lin Xueyan, do you believe that your words will have serious consequences?"
"Enough, what's all the noise about?"
Hong Guoliang gave a low shout, silencing the two of them, and then his cold gaze fell on Liu Qingyao's face.
"You've gone too far this time. You embezzled 500 million yuan from the company for personal use without my permission. Do you know how serious that is?"
How serious is it?
Liu Qingyao curled her lip: "I'm the head of this company. I've made so many contributions. Even if I haven't made any great achievements, I've still put in a lot of hard work. Is it really that serious to withdraw some money urgently?"
"What?"
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Hong Guoliang immediately flew into a rage: "Liu Qingyao, you should know that your current status is all thanks to me!"
"Even if you lose 3 billion yuan by bidding for the Blue Star Building project, I still support you."
"Afterwards, instead of being grateful, you embezzled 500 million yuan from the company without authorization. You made such a serious mistake, and we need you to explain it, but you are so arrogant."
"Let me tell you, this company is mine. Everything I can give you, I can also take back. Do you understand?"
"Oh, you make yourself sound so great, like you're my benefactor!"
Liu Qingyao crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her chin up.
“Hong Guoliang, actually, you are the one who owes me, I don’t owe you anything.”
Why do I say that?
"First, you gave me the position I have today, but I also paid a price by being your outlet for your frustrations. So in this respect, we are even!"
"Second, the Liu Group originally belonged to me, but you and that bitch Lin Xueyan took advantage of my misfortune and forcibly acquired it at a bargain price."
"Therefore, on the latter point, you owe me, I don't owe you. You don't need to get so angry with me for misappropriating 500 million from the company for urgent use, do you understand?"
"Hiss," the air froze, and the atmosphere began to heat up.
Hong Guoliang was dumbfounded; his eyes almost popped out.
He never dreamed that Liu Qingyao would be so arrogant as to say such things to him and even call him by his name.
This clearly shows they no longer take him seriously.
When did she become so arrogant?
Or is she mentally ill? Is she having a nervous breakdown?
Hearing her words, Lin Xueyan, who was standing to the side, felt a sense of schadenfreude.
He thought to himself, "Liu Qingyao, you've become so arrogant, daring to speak like that in front of Hong Guoliang. You're finished. You will pay the price for your crazy behavior."
Her guess was correct.
Sure enough, Hong Guoliang's face turned from red to green, then from green to white, and his eyes were blazing with fury.
A few seconds later, a sudden, fierce roar erupted.
Liu Qingyao, how dare you call me by my name?
You've grown wings and become arrogant, haven't you?
Let me tell you, no matter how arrogant you are, I am the one who makes all the decisions regarding the Hong Group.
I hereby announce.
"First, I will not contribute the 3 billion yuan for the Blue Star Building project. You won the project, so you are responsible for the 3 billion yuan yourself."
"Second, you are being dismissed. From this moment on, the Liu Group will have nothing to do with you."
"Third, your salary, bonuses, and all welfare subsidies are frozen as compensation for the 500 million yuan you misappropriated!"
"You must disappear from my sight right now and get out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
As she expected, Hong Guoliang was genuinely furious and wanted to fire Liu Qingyao.
This time, Liu Qingyao's fate is going to be terrible.
Hong Guoliang cancelled his 3 billion yuan support for the Lanxing Building project, leaving Liu Qingyao with no way to raise this huge sum of money.
Without raising funds, she cannot start construction on the Blue Star Building project.
If construction cannot begin, it constitutes a breach of contract.
Lanxing Building is a key project of Jiangnan Commercial Development Company. If Liu Qingyao cannot start construction, how could Jiangnan Commercial Development Company possibly let her go?
She'll probably be imprisoned for at least ten or eight years; this time, her fate will be even worse than when she was down on her luck before.
She looked at Liu Qingyao smugly, waiting for her to break down, waiting for her to cry, and then taking the opportunity to humiliate her.
However, something unexpected happened to her.
Liu Qingyao suddenly chuckled.
"Hong Guoliang, are you trying to kill me?"
"How could someone do something so ruthless!"
"Fine! Since you want me dead, I have no choice but to lay my cards on the table now!"
As he spoke, he changed how he addressed Hong Guoliang.
Hong, you old dog, listen to me.
"From this moment on, the Liu Group belongs to me and has nothing to do with you anymore."
"As for the 3 billion yuan bid for the Blue Star Building project, the Liu Group has more than 5 billion yuan in working capital, so I'm not afraid!"
"Now I also announce that, Hong Laogou, you and Lin Xueyan, that bitch, have no further connection with the Liu Group."
"I want both of you to crawl out on your knees!"
These words were extremely arrogant, even more so than those of Hong Guoliang.
The air was stagnant.
Hong Guoliang's pupils dilated, his face filled with disbelief.
Lin Xueyan froze, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an apple.
The two could hardly believe their ears; these words could really come from Liu Qingyao…
