Yuhua Group office building.
Jiao Yuchen tore the report document in front of him to shreds.
"Idiot! If there are no shareholders but only a board of directors, then use other methods!" Jiao Yuchen roared.
The marketing director glanced at the people around the conference table, considered his words carefully, and said, "President Jiao, the invention patents and the real R&D team are all in the hands of Ruixin Technology. Even if we try to short Ruixin Group, it doesn't seem to make much sense right now. Ruixin Technology has reached cooperation agreements with some companies in the south, and we really can't get involved."
"Times have changed; technology is now the true strength..."
“We have no reason to go against Ruixin Group. If we hadn’t withdrawn our investment, Ruixin would be our cash cow right now.”
The cacophony of voices and discussions all pointed to the fact that the new head of Yuhua Group was struggling to adapt to the local environment.
Jiao Yuchen's veins throbbed. Faced with the old guard of Yuhua Group, he couldn't bring himself to drastically purge them, leaving behind a bunch of pedantic incompetents who could only complain.
Unfortunately, Jiao Yuchen, as the newly appointed leader, couldn't get rid of these old people or scold them.
Even though he's usually very patient, he finally snapped today.
"Quiet!"
He had to admit that, at this point, he had no choice but to let go and allow the Ruixin Group to continue to grow.
But fate did not give him another chance to escape...
The Jiao family's old house was deserted and quiet in the afternoon; no matter how much sunlight there was, it seemed unable to warm the place.
Jiao Cheng rubbed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and glanced sideways at Mi Yang, who was dressed in a glamorous manner.
"Which wealthy lady did you visit today?" Jiao Cheng said sarcastically. "All you ever do is gossip and chatter with other women. You're such a woman."
The maid helped Mi Yang tighten the shoe straps.
Mi Yang seemed not to have heard these words, stood up and tried to take a few steps to get used to the feel of high heels.
"Weiwei, are you going out with Mommy today?"
Mi Yang looked at Jiao Cheng's disdainful eyes and said, "Come back after you finish playing mahjong. If you have this energy, go and help your son make plans."
After saying that, she took Jiao Yu's hand and left the Jiao family's old house.
His behavior was no different from Mi Yang's usual behavior.
But Jiao Yu failed to notice the cold sweat on his mother's palms...
- Yu Hwa Group is suspected of stock market manipulation and is currently under investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
- An unfinished housing project in Xia'an City, developed by a subsidiary of Yuhua Group, has stalled. A large number of protesters have gathered in front of the Yuhua Group building, holding banners in protest.
- Samples of cotton and linen produced by Jinxiu Cotton Textile, a subsidiary of Yuhua Group, failed market inspections.
A new scandal every day has caused Yue Hwa Group's stock price to plummet, with hundreds of millions of dollars in market value evaporating continuously.
What truly enraged Jiao Cheng was Mi Yang's "running away from home".
Nothing happened that day, yet she disappeared with Jiao Yuwei, as if they had vanished into thin air.
Jiao Cheng sat alone in the huge conference room of Yuhua Group, slowly rubbing his withered hands.
This was the first time he had ever truly felt surrounded by danger.
"dad--"
Jiao Yuchen pushed open the door and entered. After seeing Jiao Cheng's unfriendly gaze, he said, "Jiao Yuwei and Jiao Yuyin's shares were sold off and cashed out by Mi Yang a long time ago. Yuhua's stock price is now hitting the daily limit down. It must have been a pre-arranged scheme between Mi Yang and Jiao Yuyin."
Jiao Cheng was stunned for a long time.
"knew."
“Dad, if this continues, Yuhua is really doomed, and our Jiao family is really doomed.” Jiao Yuchen clenched his fists, his tone sinister. “Since Jiao Yuyin wants to fight, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Is the Jiao family really headed for a fight to the death? Jiao Cheng thought helplessly.
For several days, the scandals involving the Jiao family continued unabated, and netizens on the internet became the harbingers of trouble in the melon field.
The wind direction and rhythm suddenly changed in a strange direction.
- Now the two Jiao brothers are locked in a bitter feud, both suffering heavy losses.
-Isn't Jiao Yuyin just turning on his benefactor? No matter what, he's still surnamed Jiao; blood is thicker than water. Why be so ruthless?
- They're most ruthless when they strike their own people.
- Rumor has it that the current matriarch of the Jiao family, Mi Yang, colluded with the third son to cash out and abscond.
Isn't this a blatant betrayal?
-Who knows what's going on? -
-Huh? No way, they conspired with their stepmother to screw over their own family?
- The person upstairs is crazy. -
-Who? Jiao Yuyin and Mi Yang working together? How is that possible?
-Wasn't it said that the Third Young Master didn't have much contact with the Jiao family? How can Jiao Yuyin do this to his own mother?
Jiao Yuyin didn't care much about the online abuse.
Qin Meng suggested that she explain a little.
Jiao Yuyin shook his head; he only wanted to focus his limited energy on important matters.
"Jiao Yuchen has resorted to such a lame tactic; it seems he's truly out of options." Jiao Yuyin sat at his desk, signing a document, and muttered to himself, "How's the progress with Mi Yang?"
Qin Meng said, "Mi Yang is safe in Qinhuai City. We have many people there. She's going to see Meng Qin again today. Jiao Yushen and Meng Qin's eldest daughter, Jiao Jiaqing, was also brought to Qinhuai City by Mi Yang and is now with her. They're trying to see if they can persuade Meng Qin to bring Jiao Jiali back first. It seems Jiao Jiali isn't doing well. Mi Yang said that the child was locked in a dark room for too long and now has some mobility issues and can't eat normally anymore. But Meng Qin... sigh..."
"Jiao Jiaqing has been taken to Qinhuai City. I estimate that the old house will soon know Mi Yang's whereabouts. During this period, we need to increase manpower and make sure to protect their safety," Jiao Yuyin instructed.
"So what's the next step?" Xu Song asked, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. "Right now, all the investigations into Yuhua Group are just scratching the surface; they haven't hit the root of the problem yet."
Jiao Yuyin twirled the pen he used for signing.
"To shake the behemoth that is Yuhua Group, we need an investigative body that can operate outside the Jiao family's network of connections. An investigation into Yuhua also needs a trigger. Today, Jiao Yuchen gave me a hint: perhaps using public opinion is one direction."
Xu Song turned his head and raised an eyebrow.
“That’s a good idea. We still have the evidence that Jiao Yuchen used Lu Yu’s biological mother to slander Lu Yu. We can just throw it out there. Lu Yu is now an Olympic athlete who brings glory to the country. Wouldn’t that have an immediate effect?”
"A terrible trick."
Jiao Yuyin's eyes sharpened, his expression leaving no room for argument: "Don't use this to generate buzz."
"..."
Qin Meng suggested, "The Cen Li incident caused quite a stir back then, and bringing it up again now... it's just disgusting. Let's find her again—"
“Okay.” Jiao Yuyin immediately made the decision, omitting Qin Meng’s lengthy explanation.
Every step is a risky choice; one wrong move and he could be dragged down with him.
But before Jiao Yuyin could take action, even more shocking news became an unexpected new trigger...
