Chapter 261 He was so angry he laughed.
Fang Lanxin sneered: "So she wants to use such underhanded means to get rid of me?"
“She said that as long as something happened to you, the Huo family could regain control of the Huo Group,” Wang Jianguo said. “The pipe leak and the warehouse fire were just the beginning; she also planned what would happen next.”
"What is it?" Guan Yu asked in a deep voice.
Wang Jianguo swallowed hard: "She's going to sabotage the Huo Group's annual meeting. There will be a lot of media and shareholders present. As long as you, President Fang, make a fool of yourself, she can take the opportunity to make trouble and force the board of directors to make you step down."
Fang Lanxin was so angry she laughed when she heard this.
"What a formidable old lady from the third wife's family." She stood up. "I really underestimated her."
Lord Guan walked over and said, "Leave this matter to me."
"No need." Fang Lanxin shook her head: "I will handle the Huo family's affairs myself."
"Lanxin," Guan Yu called out to her, "Your current physical condition is not suitable for you to do these things anymore. Let me help you."
“I said I didn’t need it.” Fang Lanxin’s tone was a little stiff: “Mr. Guan, you have already helped me a lot. I will handle the rest myself.”
Guan Yu sighed as he looked at her stubborn expression: "Alright, but if you need any help, just let me know."
Fang Lanxin did not respond and turned to leave the factory.
She's now preoccupied with figuring out how to deal with the third wife's mother.
This old lady holds a very high position in the Huo family. She is the eldest of the second generation of the Huo family and her words carry a lot of weight in the family. Even Huo Qibang treats her with great respect.
But this time she went too far, daring to attack the Huo Group.
Fang Lanxin will never let her go.
Back at the villa on the hillside, Fang Lanxin called Huo Qibang over and told him everything Wang Jianguo had instructed her to do.
Huo Qibang was stunned after hearing this: "Third Grandmother... how could she do this?"
"So now you know," Fang Lanxin said coldly, "not everyone in the Huo family is truly sincere towards you."
Kenneth Fok remained silent.
He was taught from a young age to respect his elders, especially his great-grandmother, and to be filial to her.
But now that his third grandmother has done something like this, he really doesn't know what to do.
“Mom, what should we do?” Fok Kai-pong asked.
"The annual meeting will proceed as scheduled," Fang Lanxin said. "But I want her to know that it won't be so easy for her to bring me down."
Huo Qibang nodded: "I understand."
Over the next few days, Fang Lanxin prepared for the annual meeting while secretly making arrangements.
She knew that since the third wife was going to tamper with the annual party, she would definitely have made all the arrangements in advance, so she had to be one step ahead of her.
On the day of the annual meeting, the Huo Group building was brightly decorated and guests arrived in an endless stream.
Fang Lanxin, dressed in a long black dress, stood elegantly at the entrance of the banquet hall to greet the guests.
Lu Chen and Ling Ye also arrived. The two of them, unusually, did not bicker and stood obediently beside Fang Lanxin.
"Sister Fang, you seem a little nervous today," Lu Chen said softly.
"I'm fine." Fang Lanxin smiled. "You two stay put and don't wander around."
"knew."
After the banquet began, Fang Lanxin gave a brief speech, followed by various performances and an awards ceremony.
Everything seemed normal, but Fang Lanxin knew that a storm was brewing.
Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, the third wife stood up.
"Mr. Fang," she said with a smile, "I have a few words to say."
The banquet hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the third wife.
Fang Lanxin sneered inwardly, but maintained a smile on her face: "Please speak, Third Grandmother."
"Today is the Huo Group's annual meeting. As an elder of the Huo family, I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words from my heart," said the matriarch of the third branch of the family. "President Fang has contributed a great deal to the Huo Group over the years, which we have all witnessed, but..."
She then changed the subject: "Recently, the Huo Group has encountered a series of problems, such as pipeline leaks and warehouse fires. What do these things indicate? They indicate that President Fang is no longer able to control the Huo Group."
"As an elder of the Huo family, I have to stand up and say something fair." The old lady of the third branch looked around: "The Huo Group is the Huo family's ancestral foundation, and it cannot be destroyed in the hands of an outsider."
As soon as she said this, whispers immediately filled the banquet hall.
Fang Lanxin maintained her smile: "What do you mean by that, Third Grandmother?"
“My point is very simple,” the third wife said. “The Huo Group should be managed by members of the Huo family, not by an outsider like you.”
"So?" Fang Lanxin asked.
"Therefore, I suggest that the board of directors re-elect the chairman of the Huo Group." After saying this, the third wife looked at the other directors present: "What do you all think?"
Several directors who were on good terms with the third branch of the family immediately chimed in, "I agree."
I agree.
Huo Qibang's face turned ashen. He was about to stand up and retort when Fang Lanxin stopped him.
"Mom..."
"It's alright," Fang Lanxin said softly.
She stood up, walked to the center of the banquet hall, looked at the third wife and smiled, "Third Grandmother is right, these things were indeed my oversights."
A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the third wife: "I am very pleased that President Fang can recognize this point."
"But," Fang Lanxin changed the subject, "Has Third Grandmother ever considered why these things happened?"
"What's the meaning?"
“Because someone is pulling strings behind the scenes,” Fang Lanxin said coldly. “And that person is you.”
The banquet hall erupted in chaos.
The old lady from the third wife's family changed her expression drastically: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart." Fang Lanxin clapped her hands, and Huo Wen led Wang Jianguo in: "Come on, explain things clearly in front of everyone."
When Wang Jianguo saw the old lady from the third house, his legs went weak, but under Huo Wen's shoving, he still told her the whole story from beginning to end.
After he finished speaking, the banquet hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared in shock at the old lady from the third house, completely unexpected that she was the one who orchestrated all of this.
The old lady from the third branch of the family was pale, but she still stubbornly insisted: "You are slandering me, it's all slander."
"Whether it's slander or not, the police will investigate thoroughly." After Fang Lanxin finished speaking, several police officers walked in: "Third Grandma, please come with us."
"What right do you have to arrest me?" the third wife shouted. "I am a member of the Huo family, how dare you touch me?"
"Everyone is equal before the law." The police officer said coldly, "Please cooperate with our work."
The third wife was taken away, and the people in the banquet hall looked at each other, no one daring to speak.
Fang Lanxin glanced around and said calmly, "Does anyone else think the Huo Group should change its leadership?"
No one spoke.
"Since there isn't one, let's continue with today's annual meeting." Fang Lanxin said, then sat back down in her seat.
Lu Chen and Ling Ye walked over, the two of them unusually united, both looking at her with concern.
"Sister Fang, are you alright?" Lu Chen asked.
"I'm fine." Fang Lanxin smiled. "Don't worry."
The banquet resumed, but the atmosphere was no longer as lively as before.
Fang Lanxin sat in her seat, watching the performance on stage, but her mind was on other things.
The third wife was arrested, but the internal problems of the Huo family were not resolved.
She knew that more challenges awaited her.
But she wasn't afraid.
Because she is Fang Lanxin.
After the banquet, Fang Lanxin returned home, completely exhausted.
She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
Beard came over with a cup of tea: "Madam, have some tea."
"Thank you." Fang Lanxin took the teacup and took a sip.
“Madam, Mr. Guan just called and said he wants to see you,” Hu Zi said.
Fang Lanxin frowned: "I don't want to see him."
"But…"
“No buts.” Fang Lanxin interrupted him: “Tell him I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Hu Zi sighed, turned around, and left.
