"You chose this person to be in charge yourselves. Now that the company is suffering losses, you can only blame the person in charge for mismanagement. What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Yuan shrugged and asked with a smile.
Everyone fell silent.
At the same time, several people kept glancing at Xiao Nan, their eyes filled with the same accusation.
Xiao Nan had always known that he was no match for Xiao Yuan, so upon hearing these words, he calmed down and turned his attention back to Grandpa Xiao.
"Grandpa, the Xiao family is now relying on your shares to save it. What do you think we should do?"
During the conversation, Grandpa Xiao was directly sandwiched between them.
The old man's expression shifted between anger and rage as he glared at Xiao Nan.
Before he could even refuse, Bai Qingzhi spoke up again.
"I feel like I've seen this scene before."
Then, smiling, he looked at Xiao Yuan and continued:
"My second uncle was like this when my grandfather came back, but in the end..."
She didn't say everything aloud, but at that time, everyone knew about the affair involving Bai Lao Er and Bai Lao San, so what was there for everyone not to understand?
Perhaps feeling that Bai Qingzhi's words were demoralizing his men, Xiao Nan suddenly spoke up.
"Miss Bai, we are discussing matters concerning the Xiao family. Isn't it rather impolite of you to interrupt like this?"
Bai Qingzhi glanced at him without saying a word. Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, she suddenly laughed.
"Yes, you're right. I was too talkative." Bai Qingzhi smiled even more brightly, lowered her head, and started eating again.
Her words stunned everyone present, especially Xiao Nan.
They were all prepared to continue their satire, but Bai Qingzhi suddenly backed down halfway through?
"Grandpa, what do you think about this?" Xiao Nan asked the old man again.
Grandpa Xiao threw down his chopsticks and replied angrily:
"Want shares? No way! I'd rather die than give them to you!"
The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became tense.
Xiao Nan directly tore off the mask, his eyes dark and gloomy.
"Do you really have the heart to watch the Xiao family disintegrate like this?"
Seeing the old man's stubbornness, Xiao Nan became ruthless.
"I suppose you also want to know the real cause of your grandmother's death back then? After investigating for so many years, there hasn't been a single clue. Aren't you afraid that you'll never get the answer even on the day you pass away?" Xiao Nan regained his composure, his tone filled with confidence.
Sure enough, the old man lost his momentum the moment he heard those words, staring intently at Xiao Nan and asking what he meant.
Grandma Xiao was in good health back then, but she suddenly passed away one day. The old man didn't believe it and kept investigating.
But both the hospital and the people he sent out came back to tell him that there was nothing wrong with his wife's death.
He died from a sudden cardiac arrest, but now Xiao Nan is saying this. How can Grandpa Xiao remain calm?
Besides him, Xiao Qiangwei and Xiao Yuan also frowned instantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Nan's smile widened, and he slowly leaned forward to continue his coercion and enticement.
Just then, Bai Qingzhi's voice rang out.
"Hello, is this a police officer? Someone is making threats here. You heard it yourself. What should we do about this?"
One sentence left Xiao Nan dumbfounded.
Teng stood up and reached for Bai Qingzhi's phone, but Xiao Yuan stopped him.
"Police officers, the murderer is trying to attack me! Please come quickly!" Bai Qingzhi's voice grew even louder.
Her action stunned everyone; how could she call the police in this situation?
Xiao Nan was soon taken away by the police, but he should only be taken back for questioning and will be released soon.
The rest of the group, seeing that the first people had gone inside, also left awkwardly.
Soon only Xiao Yuan and a few others remained in the room. The old man seemed to have lost his mind and sat listlessly on the sofa.
He was also holding a photo of himself and his wife when they were young.
"I think we should take this opportunity to investigate," Bai Qingzhi suggested earnestly.
Xiao Qiangwei shook her head. Since Xiao Nan dared to threaten to release the information so blatantly, he must have hidden it very well, and they wouldn't be able to find out easily.
"Who said we were looking for clues about Grandma Xiao?" Bai Qingzhi tilted her head and continued.
Seeing Bai Qingzhi's cunning gaze, Xiao Yuan was instantly enlightened.
Xiao Nan only cooperated with the questioning for a little over an hour before leaving. This time, he didn't go back to the old house. He just called the old man and told him that he would only give the old man three days to consider.
At the same time, Xiao Yuan also took action.
However, this time he directly targeted Xiao Nan.
Before leaving, Xiao Yuan left Bai Qingzhi a few men, all of them tall and strong.
The group kept watch around Bai Qingzhi's studio, questioning even the food delivery person.
This action stunned Qiao Shanshan and Yuan Na, who were terrified of the menacing bodyguard every day.
I'm afraid they might get in a bad mood one day and beat me up.
A day later, Hao Ni's studio was set up, and thanks to her mother, Ms. Hao's, fame, quite a few people joined.
Bai Qingzhi even discovered a few minor internet celebrities among them.
It was lunchtime again, and Bai Qingzhi happened to run into Hao Ni as she went out.
Hao Ni looked old-fashioned, and her clothes and makeup were designed to make her appear mature, but unfortunately, her face still looked somewhat childish, which made her look a bit out of place.
Bai Qingzhi always dressed like a college student.
"There are all kinds of people these days. Someone who hasn't even lost all their baby teeth is already doing design work. I really don't know what kind of people would hire someone like this for custom orders," Hao Ni said sarcastically.
“Yes, unlike some people who, even when they’re about to lose all their teeth, still want to get involved.” Bai Qingzhi retorted with a smile, showing no anger whatsoever.
"What else can you do besides design?!" Hao Ni broke down completely and shouted at Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qingzhi leaned against the door and answered naturally:
"I can also design jewelry. Miss Hao, you can't just be pretending to be a designer because of your mother's fame, can you?"
A hint of unease flashed across Hao Ni's face, which Bai Qingzhi caught precisely.
Bai Qingzhi had already investigated Hao Ni when Hao Ni was targeting her. She found that Hao Ni had no knowledge of jewelry design and didn't like it at all.
Therefore, this statement simply hits the other person's sore spot.
After glaring fiercely at Bai Qingzhi, Hao Ni fled in defeat.
Watching her retreating figure, Bai Qingzhi shook her head and muttered to herself:
"They really have absolutely no fighting power."
Perhaps due to Ms. Hao's influence, guests visited Hao Ni's studio that afternoon.
Orders kept coming in, and almost every time, Hao Ni would walk to the door and loudly mock Bai Qingzhi.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Bai Qingzhi couldn't help but smile. She had to admit that Hao Ni was quite cute.
At least his IQ doesn't seem to be very high...
Apart from the time when Mrs. Zhang tried to set a trap but was rejected by Bai Qingzhi, no one came to find them again.
Qiao Shanshan was fine, spending her days studying her handwritten design drafts, but Yuan Na was acting strangely.
