Chapter 625: Rebellious Son
The phone rang for a long time, and when it was about to automatically hang up, it was finally connected. Huo Dongcheng's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Hello, Dad, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me? Don't you know what you did?" Huo Junshan's voice was as cold as ice, and he was obviously furious.
Huo Dongcheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and slowly said, "Dad, I've done a lot of things recently. I wonder which one you are talking about?"
"Are you still playing dumb with me?" Huo Junshan felt deeply that Huo Dongcheng was born to oppose him. "Didn't you instruct the Mei family to leak this information online?"
"Dad, so this is what I was talking about? I did it. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Hearing Huo Dongcheng's light tone, Huo Junshan became more furious and wanted to strangle him to death through the Internet cable.
He couldn't help but roared, "What's the problem? Do you know how much impact this has on me, your Aunt Lin, and the company's image? Your Aunt Lin's physical injuries are already very serious, and psychologically she has to deal with all those negative comments and slander, and she has to bear tremendous psychological pressure. Huo Dongcheng, don't you hate Fu Qingyue? Don't you want her to be punished? What good will this do you?!"
Huo Dongcheng's voice remained calm, even with a hint of provocation, "Dad, you are always so easily excited. How long ago was it last time you fainted? Be careful not to get too angry and get yourself into trouble."
Huo Junshan: "...!"
He reasonably suspected that Huo Dongcheng wanted to anger him to death as soon as possible and completely control the Fu family.
"Just because I hate Fu Qingyue doesn't mean anyone can use me and the Bai family as pawns. I hate being used the most. My mom has been dead for so many years, and she still can't rest in peace. How did the reporters learn of Fu Zheng's identity? How did they dig up those old stories? How did the Huo family and you get involved in this public opinion storm? Dad, you must know this, right?"
Of course Huo Junshan knew.
It's just that he and Lin Jiamin came up with the same idea, which was to use public opinion to force Fu Zheng to give up the mental evaluation.
Huo Dongcheng chuckled, "Public opinion is a double-edged sword. If you play it well, it will be very helpful. If you play it badly, it will just shoot itself in the foot. Your hands and feet are not clean. Even if the Mei family didn't expose the information, wouldn't Fu Zheng be able to find out? Is Fu Zheng a fool?"
As soon as the Mei family broke the news, it immediately became a hot topic and is still on the hot topic. If it wasn’t Fu Zheng who took action, who else could it be?
"You...get out of here! I don't have a son like you!"
Huo Junshan was extremely angry, his chest heaving violently and his face flushed red.
"Goodbye, Dad."
As soon as the words were spoken, a mechanical beeping sound came from the microphone.
Seeing Huo Dongcheng really hung up the phone, Huo Junshan's blood rushed to his head, his lips trembled twice, and he raised his hand to throw the phone.
With a "bang", a broken cell phone appeared on the ground.
"Junshan, calm down. Don't let yourself get sick from anger." Lin Jiamin saw Huo Junshan's face full of anger and soothed him, "It's all my fault for acting on my own and making Dongcheng unhappy. It's only natural that he hates me..."
Huo Junshan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the raging fire within him. "Don't speak for him... This rebellious son! He's acting with impunity and becoming increasingly disrespectful to me. Doesn't he just think he has the final say in the group? I'm going to call a board meeting..."
"Junshan! You must not do that!" Lin Jiamin exclaimed, and hurriedly stood up to grab Huo Junshan's arm, accidentally pulling the wound, and she gasped in pain.
"Are you okay?" Huo Junshan quickly supported her.
Lin Jiamin endured the pain and said, "You must not do this, Junshan."
"I've made up my mind, don't stop me."
"Junshan, calm down and listen to me," Lin Jiamin said anxiously. "Since Dongcheng took over as president, he has done an excellent job in both daily management and strategic planning. The major shareholders and directors have already recognized Dongcheng as their successor. If you want to replace Dongcheng, the directors will not agree."
Replacing the president is a big deal and requires a board meeting for a vote. Huo Dongcheng has won over most of the directors. Huo Junshan convened an ad hoc board meeting, but not only would he not be able to do anything to Huo Dongcheng, it would also alert the enemy and force Huo Dongcheng to get the shares faster.
However, Huo Junshan was furious and said angrily, "I'm the chairman. I want to kick Huo Dongcheng out. Who dares to stop me? Lao Li and the others were with me in the early years. We've been through so much. How dare they go against me for a young boy?"
Lin Jiamin thought to herself, so what if we’ve been through a lot together?
People change.
As luck would have it, her people had spotted Huo Dongcheng entertaining several directors at his home two days ago. When they left, the directors were all smiling, well-fed and talking happily.
Among them were Lao Li and several other old friends of Huo Junshan.
For Donglin, Huo Dongcheng must be expelled, but not now.
"Even if they listen to you, it will take time to replace Dongcheng and find a suitable professional manager. At this time, the Huo family is suffering from external criticism, and they must work together to overcome the difficulties. If there is chaos inside, won't that give others an opportunity?"
The most important thing now is to overcome the current difficulties.
The image of the Huo family has already been affected. If news of Huo Dongcheng being dismissed without reason spreads again, and Fu Zheng adds fuel to the fire, I am afraid that the Huo family will suffer even greater losses.
Seeing Huo Junshan remained silent, Lin Jiamin continued to persuade him, "This matter is caused by me. If the Huo family suffers internal and external troubles and suffers heavy losses, the directors will not blame you, but will definitely put the blame on me. Junshan, just think of it as my sake and give way to Dongcheng."
Huo Junshan clenched his fists and pounded the side of the bed, saying bitterly, "Let him go for now. Once public opinion dies down, I'll find a chance to remove him and show him who's boss!"
At this time, the Huo family cannot be in chaos.
Under the gauze that he couldn't see, Lin Jiamin curled the corners of her lips. "Junshan, Dongcheng was just angry for a moment. If he is dismissed, who else can be qualified for this position? Professional managers are always inferior to family members."
Huo Junshan was stunned.
He was so angry that he wanted Huo Dongcheng to know how powerful he was. As for who would take over the position of president after Huo Dongcheng was dismissed, he had not yet thought about it.
If he were a few years younger and more energetic, he would have taken the position himself.
"First, promote people from below. If that doesn't work, hire professional managers. It's difficult to move to the headquarters. With me watching over it, the Huo family won't be able to move forward without him, Huo Dongcheng!"
Huo Junshan added, "Donglin is intelligent. When he goes to university, let him study management. After a few more years of experience, he will be no worse than Huo Dongcheng."
He is not even sixty yet, and if he can hold on for another ten years, he can wait until Donglin becomes independent.
Lin Jiamin hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? How can Donglin compare with Dongcheng?"
"They are all my sons, Huo Junshan, so why can't they be compared?" Huo Junshan looked at Lin Jiamin unhappily, dissatisfied with her self-deprecation.
Lin Jiamin shook her head bitterly, "...Dongcheng has the Bai family's support, but Donglin only has me as its mother...
