72. Gu's bankruptcy
Huo Feng laughed loudly twice, then stopped and stared at her: "Dad will pay close attention to your abilities in the future. The children of my Huo family have never been useless."
She was not afraid of his scrutiny, but smiled and said, "Just watch, I will satisfy you."
After a while, Huo Sisi transferred all the assets in her account. Taking advantage of Gu He's injury and his lack of time to take care of her, she also found a reason to withdraw the money she had invested in Gu's company for emergency purposes.
On the surface, she is deeply in love with Gu He, helps him manage the company's operations and does an assisting job, but in fact she takes advantage of Gu He's defenselessness to steal business secrets and drain the working capital.
like?
That is the least valuable thing in the world!
When the directors came to the ward one day, he was shocked and couldn't believe it when he heard the Huo family announce that they would not acquire Gu's new medicine as originally planned.
"How is that possible? I just stamped the first draft of the contract that Secretary Wang brought me two days ago!"
"Secretary Wang has been missing since this morning. His whereabouts remain unknown! The archives have been tampered with. The Huo family has been lurking in the company for a long time and they're determined to wipe us out. The secrets of the new drug have leaked into the market, and we have no chance of a comeback."
"Huo Sisi is a traitor, yet you're giving her power! You're simply inviting a wolf into the house..."
The directors had already held a meeting and confirmed that there were internal problems before coming to him to question the situation. They were all very angry.
Gu He collapsed on the hospital bed, his face pale.
He murmured, "Huo family... Huo Sisi..."
He never imagined that he would end up falling into the hands of the person he despised the most.
He had always believed that Huo Sisi loved him to the core. She was willing to frame Chu Yanhui even if it meant he would discover the truth about the drugging incident. She had not left him when he was down and out, foolishly marrying him.
The love she kept talking about turned out to be a deception to bring down the Gu family.
Seeing his dejected appearance, the directors were filled with mixed emotions. It was Gu He who had not given up on the crumbling Gu Group, spending three years to revive it. Unexpectedly, after seven years of struggle, it still faced ruin.
They gathered around the bed, already prepared to go their separate ways.
"Just drag it out, it's as long as you can hold out."
After Gu He said this, everyone fell silent.
But after just three months, it couldn't be delayed any longer.
"Mr. Gu!"
The risk control officer's face paled. "Take a look online! All the major media outlets are now spreading rumors that there's a problem with the new drug we're piloting... It's out of control!"
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it, especially when it already has loopholes, it will collapse with just one blow.
After Fu Rongshen withdrew his investment, Gu's company was already running at a loss and on the verge of collapse.
The Huo family betrayed their trust once again, and Huo Sisi took the opportunity to steal secrets, making the situation even worse.
Those who were targeting the Gu family were instigating the media behind the scenes to hype up the drawbacks of the new drug and linking all the deaths after taking the new drug to the drug. They were simply profiting from the misfortune of others!
At this moment, several landlines in the office rang.
After the call was connected, I heard the other party say, "Mr. Gu, the Food and Drug Administration wants to re-inspect the new drug. We must suspend production and undergo inspection..."
Gu He's hands holding the phone were shaking, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
It slipped from his hand with a "snap" sound, and he slumped down in the chair with a deathly pale face, an air of dejection shrouding him.
From successful research and development to passing inspection is a very difficult process of repeated experiments, and re-inspection will consume a long time. Gu's company is now relying on the new drug to survive. Once this project is discontinued, it means that all the huge funds invested in it will be wasted.
Before the verification results were released, Gu's corporate credit was downgraded and it subsequently laid off a large number of employees for the third time.
As autumn approaches, I can no longer hold on.
Overnight, Gu's company went bankrupt.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and directors, supervisors and senior executives resign one after another.
The original shareholders were furious and sued the legal person and president Gu He, who sat in court as the defendant.
The gambling agreement he signed a year ago to keep the company afloat forced him to empty his family's savings to repay the debt, leaving him heavily in debt ever since.
Chu Yanhui felt it was hasty, as if it happened in an instant.
But if you think about it carefully, it is natural for Gu's company to reach its current state. It's just that the downward trend is much faster than a year ago. There is nothing wrong with it.
The only thing that was unexpected was that Huo Sisi made a great contribution to the downfall of the Gu family.
"You loved Gu He so deeply in the past, was it all fake?"
In the cafe, Chu Yan asked the woman in the red dress in front of her.
She couldn't help but hate him because he had hurt her. But on this matter, they were on the same side, so she asked him out to verify the facts.
Huo Sisi gave a faint but meaningful smile: "Love? Can a person who has nothing be worthy of my love?"
She was mocking the girl's naivety and stupidity.
Chu Yanhui used the stirring stick to stir the coffee pattern: "You and him are childhood sweethearts. You didn't hesitate to frame me just to get him, didn't you?"
"How much is a childhood sweetheart worth?" Huo Sisi sneered, her hair in a bun looking beautiful and unattainable. "I slandered you just to get the position I want, not a lowly wretch like him."
Chu Yanhui was incredulous at her choice of words: "Despicable... Is this how Gu He is in your heart? You have never loved him, right..."
"Maybe I loved him when he had status, position, and money?" She smiled. "I don't remember. Ever since I knew he was with you and still cared about me, he's been rotten in my heart."
Chu Yan replied: "Then you still want to exclude me and take his girlfriend's position?"
"I've been laying the groundwork for so many years. Mrs. Gu's position was already in my pocket."
Huo Sisi sneered: "But I also want to thank Fu Rongshen who was on the list after you left. He brought down Gu He."
"What good would it do you if he broke down? You're married to him."
She was puzzled.
"You idiot, you can get divorced even if you get married! Money and status are the only things you won't change your mind about."
"Do you know why Gu He is burdened with such a huge debt?" The woman smiled, covering her lips. "I was the one who pushed the gambling agreement on him, and I was the one who transferred the company's funds. I have been very good to him and even left some for him to repay his debts."
"If I hadn't been so merciful, he would be in jail now!"
"A man this fickle isn't even worth a glance from me even if he's dead. He's only fit to be my stepping stone."
With the secrets she obtained, she has now entered the company's management and is treated the same as Huo Zhuozhuo. One day, she will squeeze Huo Zhuozhuo out and inherit all the Huo family's wealth!
Chu Yanhui was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a long time.
She thought Huo Sisi loved Gu He deeply, was infinitely tolerant of him, and even willing to use the Huo family's money to fill the Gu family's financial gap. In fact, Huo Sisi had planned it all long ago and only wanted to profit from Gu He.
