Chapter 560 It’s impossible to let you go again!
The expressions on the shareholders' faces changed from surprise to anger, and the noises of their whispers grew louder.
"Seven hundred and thirty million? Isn't that too much?"
"And the Zhao family? Aren't they the Han family's mortal enemy? How could they do such a thing?"
"No wonder the revenue from the Mamba Mine has been declining over the past few years. It turns out someone must have tampered with it!"
Han Shuo's expression became increasingly ugly, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.
He didn't expect that Han Xi would actually dare to bring this matter to the board of directors and investigate it so thoroughly.
He thought that with his many years of foundation in the group, even if Han Xi knew about it, he could only resolve it privately.
Han Ming's face also looked unhappy.
Han Shuo is his fourth brother. Although they are not close, they are family after all.
Now that the scandal has been exposed in front of so many shareholders, not only Han Shuo's face has been disgraced, but the face of the entire Han family has been disgraced.
"Did you hear everything?"
Han Xi finally spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty.
The conference room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at him.
Han Xi put down his pen and glanced at everyone present. "Everyone is now clear about what happened. Now, please express your opinions. How should we deal with Mr. Han Shuo's behavior?"
The meeting room was completely silent. The directors looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.
Han Shuo has been running the group for many years, and he has many students and former employees. Many directors have received his favors, but Han Xi is now the helmsman of Han Group, and his methods are fierce, so no one dares to offend him openly.
After a long while, a gray-haired old director finally spoke tremblingly, "After all, the Fourth Master has been in the mining area for so many years. Even if he hasn't made any achievements, he has worked hard. As a young man, who hasn't made mistakes? I think it would be better to have him return the embezzled money and fine him a little. There's no need to make such a fuss."
"I don't agree with what Director Zhang said!"
A young director immediately retorted, "The company's assets belong to everyone, not Han Shuo's personal vault! Even members of the Han family cannot embezzle them! This must be dealt with seriously, otherwise anyone will dare to do the same in the future. How can the company continue to operate?"
"That's not right. The Fourth Master's contributions to the company are obvious to all..."
"Just because you contribute a lot you can embezzle money? What kind of logic is that!"
The two sides soon started arguing, and the meeting room was in chaos.
Han Xi leaned back in his chair, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, watching the farce in front of him with an expressionless face, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Han Shuo's eyes swept over the directors who supported him, and he felt a little more at ease.
He just didn't believe that Han Xi would dare to do anything to him without caring about the Han family's reputation.
After arguing for half an hour, the two sides were still deadlocked.
Han Xi looked at his watch and said calmly, "Since everyone disagrees, let's take a vote. Those who agree to remove Han Shuo from all his duties and hand him over to the judicial authorities, please raise your hands."
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
The directors who had just been clamoring for serious action now lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their hands first.
Han Xi continued, "Those who agree that Han Shuo should return the stolen money, receive a serious warning, and continue to serve, please raise your hands."
The directors who supported Han Shuo looked at each other, but no one dared to move.
Are you kidding? Han Xi's eyes are as cold as ice. Who knows if he will be punished later if he raises his hand?
Han Xi looked at the silent conference room, a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "It seems that everyone needs more time to consider. The meeting is suspended and will continue at 3 pm. I hope that by then, everyone can give the group and all shareholders a clear answer."
After saying that, he stood up, straightened his suit jacket, turned around and walked out of the meeting room.
No one expected that as soon as Han Xi left, Han Shuo immediately followed him, and his face looked terribly gloomy when he left.
Han Xi's office is on the top floor, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling night view of Beijing.
As soon as he walked to the desk, Han Shuo pushed the door open and closed it with a bang.
"Xiu Jin! What do you mean!"
Han Shuo pointed at his nose, furious. "Do you have to be so ruthless? Don't you care about the relationship between uncle and nephew?"
Han Xi turned around and looked at him with cold eyes, without a trace of warmth: "Uncle-nephew relationship?"
He sneered, "Fourth Master, when you colluded with outsiders to drain the group's assets, why didn't you think about the relationship between uncle and nephew? When you touched my wife, why didn't you think about the relationship between uncle and nephew?!"
The last sentence was like a sharp knife, piercing Han Shuo's heart.
His face turned pale in an instant, his eyes dodged, not daring to look directly into Han Xi's eyes: "You...what nonsense are you talking about...the airport incident has nothing to do with me..."
"Did I say airport?"
“…”
"It doesn't matter?"
Han Xi sneered, pressing forward step by step. The aura around him was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. "My people have already found out that the couple's account has money from a shell company controlled by you. Do you think you did it perfectly?"
Han Shuo's back was pressed against the door, with nowhere to retreat.
He looked at Han Xi's cold eyes and suddenly felt that this nephew was terrifyingly unfamiliar.
He always thought that Han Xi was just a fledgling boy who got to this position by luck, but he didn't expect that he was so ruthless and thoughtful.
"I……"
Han Shuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say.
Han Xi looked at his panicked expression, his eyes devoid of any sympathy. "Fourth Uncle, I gave you a chance. As long as you behave yourself and stay in Beijing to retire, I won't mind what you did in Mamba."
Han Xi said, his eyes suddenly cold: "But you should never, ever lay a hand on Ah Li. Even if it's for the future stability of the Han family, I will never let you go this time!"
After saying that, he didn't look at Han Shuo again, turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window.
The sunlight shone on him, but it seemed unable to warm his cold eyes.
At this time in the wedding company, Fang Lizheng and Shen Ruyan were looking at the 3D renderings made by the designer.
A champagne-colored carpet stretches from the church entrance to the altar, with bouquets of lavender placed on both sides. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, sparkling brightly.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Shen Ruyan asked with a smile.
Fang Li looked at the warm and romantic scene in the renderings, imagining herself wearing a wedding dress and walking down the red carpet arm in arm with Han Xi. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "I like it, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it."
Shen Ruyan patted her hands and said, “We will slowly finalize the other details and make sure you become the happiest bride.”
The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the wedding company, gilding the smiles of the two people.
At this time, Fang Li's cell phone rang.
It’s news from Han Xi.
He asked her, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll take you there."
Fang Li smiled, then quickly replied with her eyes downcast: "I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you make."
In the Han Building, in the top floor office.
Han Xi looked at the message, and the coldness in his eyes melted instantly, leaving only full of doting.
He replied: "Okay, wait until I get home."
