Chapter 200 Touchstone
"The developer in the north city absconded with the money, and the workers who didn't get paid are preparing to jointly sue the Huo family."
A hint of coldness flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes, and his voice was cold, "Find him and bring him back!"
The land development in the north of the city was a joint venture between the Huo family and a developer. Now that the developer has run away, the workers naturally blame the Huo family for the loss.
"What about the workers who are asking for their wages?"
"We sent someone to verify the situation and re-signed contracts with the workers. We then paid the overdue money and allowed the workers to continue construction."
Koning nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
After resolving this matter, Huo Yunting picked up the contract and continued reading it.
Not long after, the cell phone next to him lit up.
Seeing that it was a message sent by Chi Xuan, Huo Yunting clicked it with an indifferent expression. After reading the content, his eyes suddenly deepened.
An hour later, Chi Xuan sat opposite Huo Yunting, her eyes red and her face very haggard.
Huo Yunting's expression was icy as he spoke slowly, "Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to trade your second wish?"
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with grievance and tears, "Isn't this what you wanted, Brother Yun Ting? You pushed me to this point, knowing full well that I had no choice!"
Huo Yunting's eyes showed no sign of fluctuation as he said coldly, "Alright, I won't take back the 1 billion investment, and I won't attack Jinxiu again."
Chi Xuan unconsciously clenched her hands hanging at her side. She realized that Huo Yunting would no longer be soft-hearted towards her, so she stood up and left without saying anything else.
Back at Jinxiu, as soon as she reached the top floor, Lin Lu walked up to her with an anxious look on her face, "Boss Chi, where have you been? The shareholders are in the meeting room now, and they're arguing like crazy!"
Chi Xuan nodded, "I understand. I'll take care of this matter. You go back to work first."
When the door of the conference room was pushed open, everyone inside turned to look at Chi Xuan at the same time. The conference room was quiet for a moment, and then the shareholders began to speak in a sarcastic manner.
"Boss Chi, I want to know where the 50 million out of the 1 billion invested by Huo's company went? Did you pocket some of it yourself?!"
"Haha, do you even need to ask? It must have been secretly embezzled, otherwise where did the 50 million yuan gap come from?!"
"Now the Huo family is demanding that Jinxiu return the 1 billion they previously invested. We haven't seen any money from the beginning to the end, so don't expect us to be the sucker who pays out 50 million. Mr. Chi, you have to find a way to solve this. If you can't come up with a solution, the most you'll get for economic crimes is a few years in prison!"
Chi Xuan walked to the main seat with an expressionless face and sat down. She looked at everyone with a cold expression and said, "You mean, this billion has nothing to do with you? Whether it's a loss or a profit, it has nothing to do with you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the shareholders' expressions changed.
If they made money, they would of course want a share, but now the Huo family asked for the return of the 1 billion, and there was still a shortfall of 50 million, so they naturally didn't want to have anything to do with the money.
After a moment of silence, a shareholder spoke up first: "Boss Chi, don't try to deceive us with this kind of talk. Now that Huo's ten billion is taken back, how are we going to make money? You want us to help you make up the remaining fifty million, right? We're not that stupid!"
Seeing other shareholders agreeing, Chi Xuan smiled and said slowly, "So whether this billion is a loss or a profit has nothing to do with you, right?"
Under Chi Xuan's questioning, everyone said it was okay.
Chi Xuan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to get the 50 million myself. Let's go."
A shareholder looked at her doubtfully, "Boss Chi, can you really come up with 50 million?"
"Whether I can come up with the money or not, there's no need for you shareholders to worry. Just get back to work."
Seeing Chi Xuan's perfunctory attitude, no one asked any more questions. As long as they didn't have to pay, it was fine.
After the shareholders left, Chi Xuan asked Lin Lu to notify the public relations department to hold a meeting.
She directly gave them 20 million yuan and asked them to do the public relations for this matter online.
"Anyway, for three days or so, I don't want to see anything related to Jinxiu and MY trending on the search."
The PR manager nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After handling this matter, Chi Xuan returned to the office and soon saw the information that 950 million yuan had been deposited into her private bank account.
Originally, this money was intended to be used to develop the company, but those old guys only wanted to get benefits and didn't want to contribute a bit. So now she can only kick them out first, become the sole controlling shareholder of Jinxiu, and then invest the money.
…
In the evening, Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting went to see Mrs. Huo. During her stay in the hospital, the doctor gave her a full-body examination and showed that her physical indicators were normal, so he agreed to discharge her.
When they arrived at the ward, the nurse had just packed up Mrs. Huo's things.
Seeing Chi Muzhen, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but say, "Zhenbao, you work so hard, you don't have to come and pick me up from the hospital."
Chi Muzhen walked over to her and sat down. "That won't do. I heard that you haven't had a good meal at home. Yun Ting and I will have dinner with you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo was immediately overjoyed and nodded, saying, "Okay, not long ago, Tianyi bought dozens of old hens from a friend's organic farm to nourish me. They taste very good. I'll ask the kitchen to stew one tonight."
"Okay, then I'm in for a treat tonight."
The two chatted and laughed all the way back to Heyuan. Chi Muzhen took the opportunity to secretly check Mrs. Huo's pulse. After finding that there was indeed nothing wrong with her body, she finally felt relieved.
As soon as she entered the living room, Mrs. Huo said to Huo Yunting, "Yunting, go and do your work. I have something to tell Zhenbao, and you, as a man, are not suitable to listen."
Huo Yunting turned his head to look at Chi Muzhen, nodded and said, "Okay."
Mrs. Huo pulled Chi Muzhen to sit on the sofa, held her hand and said, "Zhenbao, is that brat good to you?"
Chi Muzhen didn't expect that Mrs. Huo was going to ask about this, and her face couldn't help but blush.
"fine."
"That's good. Although Yun Ting is my grandson, I also sincerely treat you as a family member. If he bullies you, I will be the first to disagree. However, if you two can really reconcile, I will have no regrets."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "Grandma, I haven't decided yet whether to remarry Mr. Huo. It may take some time."
Mrs. Huo couldn't help but smile, "Zhenbao, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to force you. Take your time."
"Well, thank you, grandma."
Although the Chi family didn't like her, Chi Muzhen was very grateful to meet such an open-minded and kind old lady like Mrs. Huo.
The two chatted for a while, and then the servant came to call them to eat.
Mrs. Huo asked the servant to serve Chi Muzhen a bowl of chicken soup and said with a smile, "Zhenzhen, drink more. You have been tired and thin from work recently. I feel sorry for you."
Chi Muzhen pinched her cheeks and said, "No, and I look better when I'm thinner."
"Zhenbao looks good no matter what, but don't try to follow others in losing weight, or you'll ruin your health."
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Okay, I get it!"
Taking the chicken soup brought by the servant, Chi Muzhen lowered his head and took a sip, and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing her take a sip and put it aside, Mrs. Huo quickly asked, "Zhenbao, why don't you drink it anymore? Does it taste bad?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head and said, "Grandma, it's just a little hot. I'll drink it later."
"good."
Mrs. Huo was about to ask the servant to serve her a bowl when Chi Muzhen suddenly said, "Grandma, the soup seems to be lacking a little salt. I'll go to the kitchen to add some."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen stood up and walked directly towards the kitchen with the soup.
Mrs. Huo's voice sounded behind her, "Zhenbao, let the servant go."
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and said, "Grandma, I'll go."
Huo Yunting, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with her and stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Well, don't let Zhenbao serve soup later. What if he gets burned accidentally?"
Huo Yunting walked into the kitchen and saw Chi Muzhen staring at the pot of chicken soup in a daze. He walked over to her and whispered, "Is there something wrong with this soup?"
