Chapter 24: Unraveling the mystery
As soon as Liang Dechang finished speaking, several shareholders followed suit.
"Yeah, it's the same here. Everything is a mess! The work that used to take three people is now just one person. Who can handle this?!"
"If they keep going on like this, I think MY will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
"Honestly, although MY was founded by you, Mr. Chi, you haven't been in the company for the past few years. Even if you have many ideas, you should take them step by step instead of trying to accomplish them all at once!"
Chi Muzhen didn't answer them, but looked at Chen Tian calmly and said, "Show me the recent business that Mr. Liang's department is in charge of."
Liang Dechang's expression changed. "Boss Chi, what do you mean? Don't you believe me?!"
Chi Muzhen took the document handed over by Shen Tian, smiled and said: "Mr. Liang, compared to your character, I trust data more. After all, data will not lie to me."
"you!"
Liang Dechang was so angry that his face turned blue, but Chi Muzhen had already closed the document and looked at him with cold eyes.
"From the documents, Mr. Liang, the department you're in charge of now only has five projects. Three of them have deadlines in six months, and two started a year ago and haven't been completed yet.
You shouldn't be looking for me, but you should be reflecting on why your department, with so many people, couldn't finish two projects in a year!"
Liang Dechang's face turned pale and blue after being told this. He felt completely humiliated and gritted his teeth, saying, "Those two projects are already in the final stages, and other people are already busy with projects. We can't let them drop their work to clean up these two messes, can we?!"
Chi Muzhen's expression was icy. "This is your own business. You don't need to report your arrangements to me. What I want is the final results! In addition, your department hasn't discussed cooperation so far this year. If the departments under your command cannot generate revenue for the company, I will consider closing them by the end of the year."
Liang Dechang's face was pale, and he stared at Chi Muzhen coldly, "Boss Chi, this company doesn't belong to you alone. You can't be so arbitrary."
Chi Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at him, then spoke slowly and clearly, "Then we'll look at the earnings at the end of the year. If your department continues to lose money, it will also affect the dividends of other shareholders."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the shareholders' eyes on Liang Dechang changed. The shareholders who had originally planned to cause trouble like Liang Dechang felt a chill down their spines.
Chi Muzhen didn't look at Liang Dechang again, and said calmly, "I will formulate quarterly and annual plans for each department. If the department is too far from the plan by the end of the year, either hand it over to someone else or shut it down."
Seeing that no one was talking, Chi Muzhen stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, today's meeting ends here and is adjourned!"
Liang Dechang stared at her back, his eyes full of coldness!
In the next few days, Chi Muzhen was busy with company matters and had little interaction with Huo Yunting. The two of them only met when they went out and came back every day.
Soon it was the day before Chen Tian’s birthday. After get off work, Chi Muzhen went directly to JM to pick up the dress prepared for Chen Tian.
As soon as I walked into the mall, I met Chi Xuan and Cheng Shumin who were shopping hand in hand.
When they saw Chi Muzhen, their expressions changed.
Cheng Shumin frowned at her and said coldly: "Chi Muzhen, what are you doing here?!"
"I'm here to do something."
Although Cheng Shumin is her mother-in-law, Chi Muzhen knows very well that the daughter-in-law she has always considered is Chi Xuan. So no matter how she tries to please her in the past few years, she has never taken her seriously.
But now Chi Muzhen has let it go and is no longer as cautious towards Cheng Shumin as before.
Seeing Chi Muzhen was about to leave, Cheng Shumin said with some dissatisfaction: "It's a coincidence that we met here. I want to buy two skirts. Come over and give me some advice!"
Cheng Shumin used to often buy skirts that didn't fit her. Later, after going shopping with Chi Muzhen a few times, she found that Chi Muzhen could always find the skirt that best suited her. She was always praised by other rich ladies when she went out, so she formed the habit of having Chi Muzhen by her side when she went shopping.
Today she went shopping with Chi Xuan. The skirts Chi Xuan picked for her were pretty, but when she put them on, she always felt that they were not as good as the ones picked by Chi Muzhen.
Hearing Cheng Shumin's commanding tone, Chi Muzhen said calmly, "I have something else to do. You should let Chi Xuan help you."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.
Cheng Shumin was furious. She stared coldly at Chi Muzhen's back and said through gritted teeth, "I'm so pissed off! I shouldn't have let her marry Yun Ting in the first place!"
"Aunt Cheng, don't be angry. My sister is just like that. She didn't mean it."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shumin's face suddenly became even uglier, and she frowned without saying a word.
Chi Xuan looked at her with a look of hesitation, and stammered, "Aunt Cheng... Actually, there is something... About my sister... I don't know whether I should tell you..."
"What's the matter? Just tell me!"
"My sister went to a bar and ordered a male model not long ago, and someone saw her. The surveillance footage was even displayed on a big screen at my grandfather's birthday party... Most of Chengdu's upper class saw it..."
Anger and disbelief flashed in Cheng Shumin's eyes, "How dare she do this?!"
Chi Xuan nodded and said sadly, "I don't know why my sister did this. Brother Yun Ting even told everyone about their marriage to protect her..."
Cheng Shumin's face was filled with rage. She was already dissatisfied with Chi Muzhen, and now Chi Muzhen was cheating on Huo Yunting!
"Xuanxuan, I have something else to do. I won't go shopping with you today. Come to my house next time when you have time."
"Okay, Aunt Cheng, but don't tell anyone else that I told you this, otherwise my sister will think I'm deliberately saying bad things about her behind her back."
Cheng Shumin held her hand and nodded, "Xuanxuan, don't worry, I won't tell."
Seeing Cheng Shumin leaving in a hurry, Chi Xuan curled up a triumphant smile.
Chi Muzhen had just picked up her dress and walked out of the mall when she received a call from Huo Yunting.
His voice was cold, and his tone was even chilling, "Where are you?"
"At the entrance of Qianda Shopping Mall, what happened?"
"Wait for me there, I'll be there in half an hour."
Chi Muzhen was about to ask him what was going on, but Huo Yunting had already hung up the phone.
In less than half an hour, Huo Yunting's car stopped in front of Chi Muzhen.
Finding out that Huo Yunting was driving himself today, Chi Muzhen put her dress on the back seat, opened the passenger door and got in.
"What's the matter with you calling me so suddenly?"
Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with coldness. He drove while saying, "Go and deal with the mess that the male model you ordered left behind!"
Chi Muzhen frowned, "What do you mean?!"
“You’ll know when you get there!”
Seeing Huo Yunting driving the car all the way to the gate of the Huo family's old house, Chi Muzhen finally understood what he meant.
Thinking about how he had just met Cheng Shumin and Chi Xuan at Qianda not long ago, and how the Huo family knew about his request for a male model so quickly, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but sneer.
The two walked into the living room and Cheng Shumin sat on the sofa with a cold expression.
When she saw Chi Muzhen, her cold eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she wanted to go up and slap Chi Muzhen twice.
This bitch!
"Yun Ting, I heard that Chi Muzhen went to the bar to order a male model. Is this true?"
Huo Yunting's brows were cold, and he said coldly: "Who is gossiping in front of you?!"
Cheng Shumin slammed the cup down on the table, her face filled with anger. "Does it matter who told me this? What matters is whether this is true or not!"
Huo Yunting was about to deny it when Chi Muzhen behind him suddenly spoke up: "It's true. You didn't ask us to come here just to confirm this, did you?"
Before the two men arrived, Cheng Shumin had already investigated the matter thoroughly and watched the surveillance video. She was so angry that she almost suffocated.
She looked at Chi Muzhen coldly, and said with disgust: "It's good that you dare to admit it! I called you two here today because there is indeed another matter!"
Chi Muzhen looked at Cheng Shumin calmly, waiting for her next words.
"Chi Muzhen, you married Yun Ting, you were marrying up. You haven't given Yun Ting a child in the past three years, and now you're cheating on him. The Huo family can't tolerate you. Divorce Yun Ting!"
