Old Meng looked towards the door: "Isn't President Song here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the door. Seeing Song Xia dressed solemnly, Xie Yuan felt a sudden tightness in his heart for some reason.
"Once the person arrives, no agency documents or anything like that will be needed."
"Why are you here?" Xie Yuan ignored the two people and awkwardly spoke to Song Xia.
Song Xia sat down directly in the main seat where Xie Yuan had just been sitting, causing Xie Yuan's eyelids to twitch.
"I'll be chairing this board meeting today. Does anyone have any objections?" She coldly surveyed the crowd, completely ignoring Xie Yuan.
"I'm talking to you!" Xie Yuan said angrily. "Song Xia, what's wrong with you? This is the company, not home. Can't you be a little more rational?"
Song Xia glanced at him; was he already labeling her like that?
"What? I'm the company's largest shareholder, can't I attend this meeting?"
"We're talking about serious business."
"I'm here today to talk business. Xie Yuan, you've been dismissed."
"What's wrong with you? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Apart from Elder Meng and Elder Liang, the other board members were discussing the matter animatedly, with those who supported Xie Yuan already eager to question him.
"Don't bring your marital conflicts into your work, Mr. Song. There are some things you can't say carelessly."
"Exactly, what gives you the right to dismiss General Manager Xie?"
"The Song family business is managed by President Xie. It's not right to use it and then discard it."
"Anyway, I only recognize President Xie and President Song. If you insist on making trouble, I will have no choice but to withdraw my investment."
Hearing these words of support, Xie Yuan smiled. His efforts to win people over had indeed had some effect.
Song Xia simply leaned back in her chair, seemingly unconcerned, and gestured to her assistant to insert the USB drive: "I won't stop those who want to withdraw their shares, but I'm definitely going to dismiss Xie Yuan."
"This is the financial report since Xie Yuan took over the company on my behalf. As you can see, Xie Yuan was able to maintain the previous profits of Song's in the first two years, but in the last two years, there has been a significant decline. Not only have two subsidiaries been shut down, but some others are even on the verge of being shut down."
“The overall environment has been bad these past two years, and there’s nothing wrong with the decisions I made, Song Xia. You can’t be unreasonable.”
Song Xia continued expressionlessly, "Of course, it's normal for a company to make and lose money, and no one can say anything about that. But Xie Yuan, can you explain why the legal representative of the company you're about to cooperate with, Yuanxie, is your cousin? With Yuanxie's qualifications, I'm afraid it's not qualified to cooperate with our Song family."
Xie Yuan's face darkened, and Song Xia sneered: "And this one, and this one, can you explain why some of Song's business flows to them? And the legal representative of these two companies is your father, my father-in-law."
The evidence shocked even those who had spoken up for Xie Yuan earlier; some knew Xie Yuan's ulterior motives, while others were unaware.
Especially since most of their wealth is tied up in Song's shares, Xie Yuan's move is simply cutting into their profits.
"Who gave you the fake news, Xiaxia? You've been fooled. I can explain it all."
Xie Yuan couldn't think of a better solution for the moment, so he could only coax her with incoherent words: "Xiaxia, I'm doing this for our own good, you have to understand me."
“We don’t care about your personal matters, but the transfer of business from the Song family must be explained.”
"That's right, you want to drain the entire Song family dry, don't you?"
"It was Xie Yuan who wanted to embezzle funds, not me. Please make that clear." Song Xia tapped the table and continued to present the PowerPoint slides to everyone. "And these are the destinations of these accounts, amounting to hundreds of millions. How did they end up overseas?"
Xie Yuan's face turned truly pale; he hadn't expected Song Xia to have investigated this far.
“Xiaxia…”
"Don't call me that, it makes me feel disgusted," Song Xia said coldly. "I've already called the police and notified the tax bureau. If you have anything to say, go talk to the police."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the police and tax officials arrived simultaneously: "Xie Yuan, Ms. Song Xia has reported you for embezzling public funds and falsifying company financial reports. Please cooperate with the investigation."
In the finance department, most of the finance staff turned pale after being dismissed from their posts by the tax bureau, their minds filled with the thought that everything was over.
They knew in their hearts what they had done and had a general idea of what they were about to face.
Why? Why were Xie Yuan's assurances useless? Why does President Song know everything?
"Song Xia, do you know what you're doing?" Xie Yuan, after being controlled, defiantly tried to rush in front of Song Xia, roaring with extreme anger.
"Of course I know." Song Xia said calmly, "Xie Yuan, haven't I been good enough to you? Yet you're embezzling my property. Some things, once done, can't be undone, you understand."
"Aren't you afraid I'll divorce you?" He took a deep breath. "Let's talk this over. I can explain everything."
Song Xia burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke. She wiped away her tears and said, "Xie Yuan, do you really think you're Tang Sanzang, that I can't live without you? Explain? Explain the existence of Zuo Shan and Xie Tianci?"
Did she know?
Xie Yuan's expression turned even uglier.
"Oh, right, besides the indictment, there's also a divorce agreement here."
"I will not agree to a divorce."
"Whether you agree or not, Xie Yuan, you not only transferred my assets, but you also committed bigamy, you know that? Tsk, even your parents personally went to serve Zuo Shan and your good son, do you really think I'm easy to bully!"
She laughed as she spoke: "With your lack of restraint, everyone in the neighborhood probably thinks you're a married couple. Any two of you could testify in court and it would be enough to prove your guilt of bigamy."
"When...when did you find out?"
"It wasn't that long ago, just when Lingling was hospitalized last time." Song Xia said, looking at him with a vicious glint in her eyes. "I've told you so many times that Lingling is allergic to mutton, but your mother just wouldn't listen. She insisted on tormenting Lingling. In order to keep me confined at home, she even deliberately made Lingling catch colds and fevers many times. She doesn't even care about her own granddaughter. I have reason to suspect that she has other grandchildren, and I found out as soon as I investigated."
Xie Yuan was filled with remorse after hearing this. It was his mother again. Why did his mother repeatedly ruin his important plans?
"You knew all along and still tolerated it for so long."
"If I couldn't bear it, how could I find more evidence of your betrayal? Xie Yuan, you've really gone to great lengths to plan this for them, mother and child!"
Since things had come to this, Xie Yuan no longer needed to pretend: "You forced me to do this. Why should I, a grown man, work for you? I wanted to have a son, but you wouldn't allow it. I had no choice."
“No one is forcing you to marry me.” Song Xia sneered. “Besides, your son outside seems to be a bit older than Lingling, right? Stop making excuses for your freeloading, it’s disgusting.”
This is a huge scandal! Just a few short conversations have revealed the conflict between the couple. I thought Xie Yuan was only interested in the money and that he still loved President Song a lot, since he always gave her gifts and flowers. I never expected him to be such a scumbag behind the scenes, with his illegitimate child being older than his legitimate daughter.
