Chapter 509: Draw the Sword to Help
"Mr. Xiao, why do you suddenly want to find an external financial team to check Xiao's financial situation? Our company's financial team is top-notch!"
"That's right. I have several contracts on hand that haven't been paid yet. If you investigate me now, do I have to make up for the payments on those contracts?"
"This is making a mountain out of a molehill. For all these years, Xiao's finances have never been wrong. Now they're letting an outside team in to investigate. It's clear they don't trust their own finances. How can they still work as diligently as before?"
Hearing that most of the voices were against it, Xiao Tuo didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "We hired someone to investigate to prevent anyone from stealing. If any of the finance department members have any objections, they can hand in their resignation. I will definitely not hire them."
After saying that, Xiao Tuo stood up and left.
Back in the office, the secretary hesitated and said, "Mr. Xiao, I don't think you should have mentioned the matter of finding someone to check Xiao's financial situation in the meeting room."
Doesn't this give those who are doing tricks behind the scenes time to delay and remedy the situation?
Xiao Tuo smiled and said, "I said that on purpose."
The secretary looked puzzled, "Why?"
"The current Xiao Corporation cannot withstand any major setbacks. I deliberately mentioned this matter in the meeting today to give them time to resolve their previous financial problems. Once the new financial team joins Xiao Corporation, I will replace the original financial team."
Upon hearing this, the secretary's eyes were filled with shock, and she couldn't help but ask, "Boss Xiao, are you planning to fire all the finance staff?!"
"Well, I've been aware of Xiao's financial problems for a long time, but I've never had the energy to take care of them. Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally can't let it go."
"Boss Xiao, I know what I should do."
Xiao Tuo nodded and said, "Well, go back to work. Keep this a secret from others for now."
After the secretary left, Xiao Tuo called Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Huo, thank you for helping me find a lawyer. If you're free tonight, come back and have dinner with Zhenzhen."
"Okay, I'll go tell Zhenzhen."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting's originally cold mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.
When Ke Ning knocked on the door and walked in, he saw Huo Yunting with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but pause.
"Boss Huo, what are you so happy about?"
According to past practice, Huo Yunting would be so happy, it must be related to Xiao Muzhen.
Huo Yunting put away the smile on his face and said calmly, "It's nothing. You were just discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon. You can rest for a while."
"No, I've been lying in the hospital for too long. I feel like work is more suitable for me."
"Okay, then go take care of your previous work first. I'll call you if there's anything else."
"OK."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting hesitated for a while before calling Xiao Muzhen.
Ever since the two of them parted on bad terms that day, he has been busy with work at the company for the past two days and has not met Xiao Muzhen.
The phone rang for a long time before the other end answered.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the coldness in her voice, Huo Yunting pursed his lips and whispered, "Boss Xiao asked us to come over for dinner tonight. I'll pick you up."
"No, I can go there by myself. Is there anything else?"
“No more.”
"I have something else to do here, so that's it for now."
After saying that, without giving Huo Yunting a chance to speak, Xiao Muzhen hung up the phone.
Xie Fu, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but frowned, "Zhenzhen, did you have a fight with Huo Yunting?"
Xiao Muzhen put down his phone and was silent for a while before speaking: "It's not really a quarrel, we just had some conflicts a few days ago."
"What contradiction?"
Xiao Muzhen told Xie Fu about the dispute between the two of them over Xiao Tuo. Xie Fu frowned and said, "I think you're wrong this time. Huo Yunting means well. And if you really rushed into Jin Yue, I might have to go to the police station to see you."
"I know that I was too anxious at the time. After I calmed down, I realized that I was too excited, but now I don't know how to ease the awkwardness between us."
Xie Fu rolled her eyes at her in annoyance. "He just called you and said he was coming to pick you up. It was obvious that he wanted to reconcile with you, but you turned him down."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
She just felt that she was not far from the Xiao family now, and it would be more convenient to take a taxi there at night.
"What should we do then?"
"What else can I do? When you have dinner with him at the Xiao family tonight, give him more food and talk to him more, and you'll naturally make peace."
Xiao Muzhen imagined the scene and nodded, "Okay, I'll try my best."
"By the way, I also heard that the reason your father was released on bail was because Huo Yunting helped him find a lawyer. Even though as your best friend, I should stand on your side, I still think it's your fault this time."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he frowned and said, "Where did you hear that?!"
"That's what's spread in the circle. If you want to know whether it's true or not, just call your parents and you'll find out."
Xiao Muzhen bit her lower lip and said, "I'll ask my third brother."
After dialing Xiao Zhuan's number, Xiao Muzhen quickly said, "Third brother, I heard that Dad will be released on bail. Is it all thanks to Huo Yunting finding him a lawyer?"
As soon as Xiao Zhuan heard the word "lawyer", he felt a headache.
The capital is so big, and the two of them had never met before. They didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence this time.
"Well, didn't Huo Yunting tell you?"
Xiao Muzhen's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and he whispered, "Well, no."
"What happened to you two? Did you have a fight?"
Xiao Zhuan is still very perceptive about this kind of thing.
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a while, then lowered his voice a bit. "It wasn't really a quarrel. It was just that when I went to Jinyue that day, he wouldn't let me go find Xie Guan, so we had a little conflict."
Xiao Zhuan frowned and said, "I was the one who asked him to stop you. Even if you were going to get angry, you should have been angry at me. Zhenzhen, you're usually a reasonable person. Why do you seem to have lost all your rationality when you met Huo Yunting?"
Hearing Xiao Zhuan's slightly reproachful voice, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, feeling doubtful. Was she really so emotional in front of Huo Yunting?
"Brother, I understand. Dad asked me to go back with him for dinner tonight. I will apologize to him then."
"Well, I still have work to do, so I won't tell you for now."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen sighed, bit her lower lip, and said, "Am I being too pretentious in front of Huo Yunting?"
Normally, she wasn't someone who would lose her temper often, and even many things wouldn't cause her emotions to fluctuate, but every time she met Huo Yunting, she couldn't calm down.
"It's good that you realize this. Even if Huo Yunting is your husband and the person closest to you, you can't vent your bad emotions on him casually. Besides, he was doing it for your own good at the time."
Otherwise, with Xiao Muzhen's temper, he would definitely rush in to find Xie Guan.
