In the conference room, Lu Qingyi sat in the corner and Ji Shuyu sat next to her mother.
Huo Zhengfeng and his son sat in the second seat, with sickly, smug smiles on their faces, looking as if they had the securities in their hands.
Over the years, Huo Yunfeng secretly collected a lot of shady things about shareholders and directors, and used intimidation and inducement to persuade the board of directors to side with him. However, since Huo Zhengting had been in charge of the group for many years and had many supporters, he was able to temporarily stabilize the situation.
However, Ji Shuyu was not too optimistic about the current balance.
The situation is still unclear, and some people are still waiting and watching. If there is no progress in Dad's case and there is no news about my brother, it will only take a moment for these people to turn against us.
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?"
Huo Zhengfeng slumped lazily in his chair, his face full of lustful aura, making people nauseous just by looking at him. "Isn't it okay for you to be your Mrs. Huo?"
"That's right, Uncle." Huo Tianhao also spoke up. "We are all family. We need to be united in facing the outside world and solving the problem at this time."
"Do you have a say here?"
Lu Qingyi glanced at Huo Zhengfeng and his son indifferently. The indifference between her eyebrows made them feel more humiliated than disdain.
"Huo Zhengfeng, don't even mention that our family hasn't collapsed yet. Even if it did, it wouldn't be your turn to be the head of the Huo family."
"That's right. We, the side branch, naturally have no say." Huo Zhengfeng laughed, "But the company's stock has plummeted so much. In a few days, we'll all be jumping off the building."
"Sister-in-law, you still have to think of a solution." He smiled. "If you can't come up with a solution within a week, don't blame Zhengfeng for disregarding brotherhood. After all... I have to be responsible for the shareholders."
His poor acting skills can still draw applause from the crowd.
Ji Shuyu looked at the people below. In the business world, there is only profit, and family affection can be sold out. Naturally, he can't expect others to help him.
After the meeting, Ji Shuyu walked out arm in arm with her husband.
Lu Qingyi gently held her daughter's hand to show that she was fine. Her husband loved her and her children were filial to her, but this did not mean that she was a greenhouse flower that could not withstand the wind and rain.
…
There was a distinguished guest visiting the reception room, and Lu Qingyi was there to receive him.
Ji Shuyu held an impromptu meeting with several of his father's confidants to discuss emergency response measures.
After sending a few close associates away, Ji Shuyu wanted to call her sister-in-law to ask if there was any news about her brother, but she saw Huo Yujia in the living room.
"Hey, isn't this our Miss Huo?"
Huo Yujia, dressed in formal attire, sat on the sofa in the reception room, acting like a high-ranking official.
She had no right to enter here, let alone the conference room. She was only able to sit here because she made Huo Tianhao happy last night.
She was tortured so badly last night, but it was worth it for her to teach Ji Shuyu a lesson!
"You look so pale, you must have been too scared to sleep these past few days!" She laughed, "Ji Shuyu, if you kneel down and beg me now, maybe..."
"Are you talking in your sleep before it gets dark?" Ji Shuyu interrupted calmly.
“You—” Huo Yujia stood up suddenly and sneered, “Ji Shuyu, you have the capital to be so arrogant to me now. Your father killed someone, and you don’t even know where your brother died…”
Bang!!
As soon as Huo Yujia finished speaking, Ji Shuyu slapped him hard in the face.
"ah--"
Huo Yujia yelled.
It would have been fine in the past, but now that their family has lost power, she actually dared to lay hands on her.
"Since you dare to hit me!"
She brought people here with her, so naturally she was unscrupulous. Today she had to teach them a lesson, thinking of him rushing over angrily.
But she played too hard last night and fell down awkwardly when the bodyguard stopped her.
"I'm hitting you." Ji Shuyu grabbed her face and said, "If you dare to say that word, Huo Yujia, I'll rip your mouth apart!"
"I'm about to say it." Huo Yujia, who now believed that the Huo family was in Huo Zhengfeng's hands, was naturally fearless. "Your brother is dead..."
Snap, snap——
Huo Yujia was hit twice in a row, and she saw stars, but the people she brought with Huo Tianhao just watched the fun.
"If you have time to talk nonsense here, why not go see a doctor first? Even two kilograms of perfume can't cover up the smell on you..."
"You—" she said angrily, then looked at Huo Tianhao on the side. "Brother~" she called in a coquettish voice.
Huo Tianhao ignored her and looked at Ji Shuyu meaningfully.
"Sister Xiaoyu, don't be angry!" Huo Tianhao said frivolously, "Do you want your brother to help you?"
His words were frivolous and his eyes were disgusting, even though the person in front of him was his sister who was a few generations related to him.
"Don't be afraid, I will love you like an older brother!"
As he spoke, he actually reached out to touch her face.
Ji Shuyu was so angry that she swung her hand to hit him, but her wrist was grabbed the next second.
His fingers were rubbing against her wrist in a disgusting way.
"Don't be so irritable...ah——"
Before he could finish his words, a scream came out.
With a click, Huo Tianhao's wrist was deformed and he fell to the ground in pain.
"Wife, are you okay?"
Gu Xiuyuan had just returned from outside, accompanied by Huo Zhengting's special assistant.
Ji Shuyu shook her head.
The pressure in the conference room was all gone, but at this moment her eyes were filled with tears.
"You, you dare—"
Huo Tianhao's voice trembled with pain, and then he was kicked away by Gu Xiuyuan.
"Throw them out of here." Gu Xiuyuan shouted coldly.
"How dare you—"
Huo Tianhao was dragged away, shouting. Huo Yujia was dragged along, glaring at Ji Shuyu with hatred. This wasn't over yet!
"How is Dad?" Ji Shuyu looked at him.
"The evidence the police have now is not in our favor."
At this time, Gu Xiuyuan had no choice but to hide it again.
Ji Shuyu tried to calm herself down. "What about my brother? Any news?"
"Still looking."
Ji Shuyu's body softened, and Gu Xiuyuan supported her, holding her shoulders tightly.
"All the active contacts over there have been dispatched."
"No news, maybe it's just news. We can't panic now."
Ji Shuyu nodded.
"I'm here." Gu Xiuyuan held her in his arms.
These two words were enough to soothe her emotions.
The company held another emergency board meeting, and Ji Shuyu temporarily took over his father's work to resolve the company's crisis.
To Huo Zhengfeng and his group, she was just a ignorant girl. They were happy to save trouble if she could solve the crisis. The company was still his. If they couldn't solve the problem, they would not be able to report to the directors and shareholders. Even if they didn't want to hand over power, they had no choice.
To temporarily stabilize the directors and shareholders, they also began to deal with the company's crisis. Although Ji Shuyu was the agent in name only, most of the work was done by Gu Xiuyuan.
Huo Zhengting and his son had extensive connections and provided them with considerable assistance. Although the situation was extremely difficult, they were able to stabilize the plummeting stock market.
Ji Shuyu and Gu Xiuyuan were busy until late at night every day, and sometimes they could only sleep for two or three hours.
That day, the two of them were busy at work in the middle of the night. They had just taken a nap when they were woken up by the phone ringing.
The call was from the police station...
