Song Group…
In the meeting room on the second floor, apart from the company’s major shareholders and board of directors, there were also the high-level executives of the company gathered. Even the corners of the room were full of people. The company might change owners. This concerned the livelihood of the entire company’s employees, and everyone’s hearts were hanging.
Qiao Aiyun sat at the seat of honor, looking down at something without saying a word. Qiao Wangbei sat beside her. He was obviously here to support her.
The company was divided into three factions.
One side supported Song Jingren, one side supported Qiao Aiyun, and the other side took the middle ground.
“President Song was so embarrassing at the press conference. The company’s stocks fell, and even its market value evaporated by a few billion. This is f*cking unbelievable. This kind of person is simply not suitable to wield power at all.”
“But Madam isn’t suitable either. She has only run a few small jade stores before. How can she manage such a big company?”
“I think anyone is fine as long as they give me my salary on time. They can’t possibly cause the company to go bankrupt, right?”
…
The discussion below was unusually heated. Qiao Aiyun pretended she couldn’t hear it. She only cleared her throat at ten o’clock sharp.
The meeting room instantly fell silent.
Qiao Aiyun smiled. “I am very grateful that everyone is here today. I believe everyone is very clear about what happened recently. I will not go into detail here then.
“Song Jiren, as the chief executive of the company, represents the face of the company. Yet he disregarded the company’s interests and did things that were harmful to the company’s interests. He might even face legal action later…
“I just want to ask everyone. What right does such a person have to continue managing the company?!”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
In present times, everyone would usually exchange pleasantries at the beginning of a meeting. They didn’t expect Qiao Aiyun to be so simple and direct, going straight for the subject.
How domineering.
When everyone interacted with Qiao Aiyun before, she was Mrs. Song at the time. She was kind and gentle, but now, her eyes were sharp and aggressive.
The strong aura that suddenly emitted caused many people to raise their eyebrows.
“It’s not up to you to decide whether President Song is qualified or not either, right?” There were naturally many who supported Song Jingren.
Qiao Aiyun merely smiled. “I believe that everyone more or less owns shares of the company. I just want to ask everyone, how much has everyone’s shares shrunk in the past two months?”
Ever since the filiation banquet incident, the Song Group’s stocks had started to fall. But everyone knew very little about what happened after the filiation banquet. But now that Song Jingren was deeply involved in a divorce lawsuit, it would definitely affect the company.
After the press conference last night was broadcast…
When the stock market opened this morning, Song Group’s stocks plummeted. Even though the company had already taken some measures to attempt to stabilize the situation, it was still difficult to salvage it.
“Since everyone is gathered here today, you must have some doubts about him. Even if you trust such a person, I believe that many of our business partners have developed doubts regarding him, right?”
Although Qiao Aiyun was not clear about the operations of large companies, she had done business before after all, so she knew her way around.
“It is going to be Lunar New Year soon. Can he redeem everyone’s losses in the next month or two?
“After such a major incident, I just want to ask, has he come to the office?
“Has he given everyone an explanation? He created such a huge mess, but now he is hiding in the dark like a coward? Shouldn’t he be responsible and give everyone an explanation?”
…
Qiao Aiyun’s every word stabbed at their hearts.
Many of them felt their resolve loosen.
“Let me ask everyone. Is such an irresponsible person still qualified to manage the company?” Qiao Aiyun was agitated. She slammed the table and stood straight up.
The meeting room fell into a dead silence. Everyone was weighing the pros and cons in their minds, not knowing which side to stand on.
…
After a long silence, the office door was slammed open.
Bang—Everyone trembled from fright and turned around at the same time. Song Jingren rushed in in his hospital gown.
Qiao Wangbei, who had been sitting at the side without saying a word, raised his eyebrows. A glint flashed across his sharp eyes.
“Qiao Aiyun, you want to kick me out of the company? Dream on!” Song Jingren’s face was obviously still bruised and swollen. His hair was messy, and he was extremely thin. In just a few days, there was a decayed and depressing feeling from him…
… unlike his usual vigor and mettle.
His cheekbones were slightly protruding, his eyes were sunken, and the corners of his mouth were chapped and white. He looked completely different from Qiao Aiyun.
She was wearing a simple female suit, and her face was rosy. It was obvious that she had been having a good time recently.
“I’m f*cking telling you, unless I die, don’t even think about touching my company!” Song Jingren’s breathing was irregular. The company was his life’s work, and he had worked hard for half his life. If he lost it in one day…
The degree of pain was no different from gouging his heart.
“So what if I am?”
“How dare you…” Song Jingren pointed at Qiao Aiyun. If not for the few senior staff who stopped him in time, he would already have rushed over and slapped her.
“Is this your personal company? You can’t manage it well yourself, but you’re shameless enough not to admit responsibility and resign.”
Now that they had completely broken off, Qiao Aiyun was fairly blunt to him.
“You—” Song Jingren cared about the company the most. Even if he wanted to use Jiang Fengya to cling to the Fu family previously, it was because he wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen the company.
For someone who put profits above all else, you wanted to steal his company?
Song Jingren would definitely fight it out with her at all costs.
“What’s wrong with me? You lie in the hospital half-dead and ignore the company all day. What’s going on now? Do you still want the thousands of employees in the company to be laid off with you?”
Qiao Aiyun was not afraid at all. Her voice was like a sharp sword, stabbing at his chest ruthlessly.
“How dare you point at me? What did I say wrong? As the manager of the company, your actions are dirty and despicable. What right do you have to manage so many employees?
“But it really is hard to say for a shameless person like you. But if you want to die, just die. Why do you have to drag the company down with you?
“Ask everyone here. After everything that has happened, who doesn’t have an objection against you?
“Yet you still have the cheek to come here? If you dare to touch me today, I’ll immediately sue you for intentional harm. Let’s see if you can still be so arrogant after you go to jail.”
Song Jingren was so angry that he almost couldn’t breathe. His face flushed red.
“Qiao Aiyun, you bitch—” In his fury, he broke free from the restraints of others and actually lifted the chair beside him, preparing to throw it at her.
The entire conference room was in complete chaos…
A group of people went up to stop Song Jingren.
If this chair hit her, Qiao Aiyun would be badly injured. Song Jingren would also be done for. In the end, the employees would still be the ones with the most unfavorable outcome.
“Shut up!” Qiao Wangbei suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
His voice was loud and clear, rough and had strong deterrence.
Suddenly, everything stopped, and the meeting room fell dead silent.
Qiao Wangbei pulled Qiao Aiyun behind him and walked to Song Jingren. He stood perfectly straight and seemed immovable.
“Don’t stop him. Let him land a blow. Song Jingren, hit me today…” Qiao Wangbei pointed at his head. “If you dare to hit me, I will even admit that you are a man! “
The people trying to stop the fight were all frightened by Qiao Wangbei, and they let go of Song Jingren.
Song Jingren had an instinctive fear of him to begin with. Qiao Wangbei’s eyes were bright and sharp like a hawk’s. They were terrifyingly penetrating as he stared at him unblinkingly, seeming to want to cut him apart.
He was injured, and his arms were already a little sore from holding the chair. Facing a person with such a powerful aura, he gulped nervously and didn’t dare to attack.
“Fight! I’ll respect you as a man!” Qiao Wangbei wasn’t afraid at all, his gaze chilly. “As long as you dare to attack, I promise I won’t dodge.”
“Big Brother—” Qiao Aiyun tugged at his clothes.
After tens of seconds, Song Jingren didn’t make a move.
One of the company directors reached out and snatched the chair from his hands. “We can talk things out. You were once a family after all. Why must you kick up such a fuss like this?”
“That’s right. We’re all doing this for the good of the company. Let’s talk slowly.”
…
A group of people tried to smooth things over for Song Jingren.
Qiao Wangbei snorted coldly. “Coward.”
Song Jingren’s body trembled, but there was nothing he could do about him. He could only rage.
…
A few minutes later, everyone returned to their seats. Song Jingren and the Qiao family were separated by a few people. They were afraid that they would start a fight straight away with a single difference in opinion.
This person from the Qiao family was obviously a tough nut to crack, and he wasn’t afraid of death.
Qiao Wangbei knocked on the table with his fingers, looking a little impatient. “What’s going on now? Could it be that you people still want to keep such a person here?
“Isn’t it enough that Aiyun has her own shares, including Wanwan’s? As the largest shareholder of the company, she doesn’t even have the right to dismiss an incompetent executive?”
“You mean you transferred the shares already?” Song Jingren exploded right away when he heard this.
Song Fengwan, that damned heartless girl, actually stabbed me in the back.
That wretched girl. I spent so much money to nurture her, and I haven’t even reaped the slightest benefit from her yet. She f*cking dared to go against me?
If I could go back more than ten years ago, I would strangle this wretched girl to death in her swaddling clothes.
What’s the use of having her!
“If not, how would we have the confidence to come here?” Qiao Aiyun sneered.
“Then, let’s vote. There are so many shareholders and board members present. I’d like to see how many of them agree that I should step down.”
Even though Qiao Aiyun was the largest shareholder now, she couldn’t do whatever she wanted.
“Even if you get the company, do you have the ability to manage it?
“How long can the company last if it falls into your hands? You said that I don’t care about the life and death of my employees, but aren’t you siblings the same?”
Qiao Wangbei laughed lightly. “Actually, you can have the company if you want. We can also give you all our shares…”
Song Jingren’s emotions were stirred up. “Conditions!”
“You’ve been dragging the divorce because you’re afraid that the company will be split. You said earlier that we wouldn’t know how to manage the company even if we got it. It is indeed useless…
“If you want the shares, you have to spend money to buy them.”
“Big Brother—” Qiao Aiyun was a little anxious. “No, we agreed before. It’s not like this…”
“Don’t talk.” Qiao Wangbei held her down.
Song Jingren was afraid that Qiao Wangbei would change his mind, so he quickly agreed, “Sure, how much do you want?”
“Money has been shrinking. Why would I want money? I want all your real estate, properties, cars, savings, investments, jewelry, index options… Other than the company shares, you have to leave this marriage with nothing.”
Song Jingren raised his eyebrows. “You only want these?”
These shares could be sold at an even higher price. Although he had a lot of real estate in his hands, even if he gave them all of it, they would still suffer a loss.
“If you agree, we will sign the agreement right away. We’ll draw the line on the assets in front of all these people and get a divorce right away.”
“Big Brother, you can’t let him off so easily. I…” Qiao Aiyun was anxious.
“How much longer do you want to be entangled with him like this?” Qiao Wangbei sneered coldly. “If the divorce drags on for a few years, are you planning to be entangled with him forever?”
Qiao Aiyun remained silent after his rebuke.
Song Jingren was afraid that trouble would arise if this went on for too long. “I’ll get the lawyer to draft the documents immediately. Once the assets are divided clearly, we’ll divorce immediately.”
“That’ll do!” Qiao Wangbei made the final decision. “Song Jingren, you better not hide any property or transfer anything. If you are found out, I will sue you for breach of contract and take back the shares.”
Song Jingren chuckled lightly. I’m not that stupid to let them get something they can use against me…
Qiao Aiyun called Geng Ying and asked her to come over. The lawyer handed over the documents, and they were only responsible for signing them.
In the morning, the two of them signed the agreement and went to collect their divorce certificates. The divorce lawsuit that had been going on for more than a month finally ended in a farce…
***
Yuncheng, Fu family residence…
When Qiao Aiyun and her group walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shi Fang immediately informed Fu Chen of the news.
“Third Master, they’ve divorced. The Qiao family took all the real estate, including the bank deposits, which add up to a few hundred million. They said that he had to leave the marriage with nothing, but this deal is still a loss for them.
“When Song Jingren came out, he was grinning so widely. They let him off too lightly.”
Fu Chen smiled. “His good days are numbered. Yan Wangchuan will definitely take the opportunity to suppress the Song Group. The Song Group won’t be able to hold on.
“It’s just a lousy company. Even if they kept those shares in their hands, the shares would still be destroyed in the end. The Song Group is finished. As a shareholder, you might even be implicated. If it isn’t handled well, you might even have to bear debts. Do you think Qiao Wangbei is stupid?
“Only by cutting themselves from the company cleanly can they crush it without restraints. It just depends on how many connections Qiao Wangbei has.”
Shi Fang tugged at his hair. “So, we’ll just watch?”
“Watch?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. “Beat him to death.”
How can I simply let it go after he slapped Wanwan?
