Who Is the Real Master of the Huo Family

The topics that were stirred up late at night became even more popular during the day.
Especially since this matter was to stop foul behaviors and was filled with positive energy, it received unanimous good comments from many netizens.
For a time, CG Company was very positively regarded in the circle. They even obtained twice the number of applicants in the latest artiste recruitment.
“In addition, I’ll get someone to review the drama Chi Hanjing participated in to ensure that there are no problems,” Jiang Chi reported.
Not to mention anything else, just the trend on the Internet and the group of media who were following the trend could still stay in this matter for a while.
As time passed, Han Zheng’s reputation as a director would become even worse.
There was even no need for Murong Qiao and the others to do anything. The production team had already changed a new director. It was said that she was a woman and she respected artistes very much. It seemed that she also knew the power of public opinion.
Murong Qiao moved her fingertips and watched as the fountain pen spun on her fingertips. She lowered her eyes.
“Keep an eye on this matter for the time being. Just don’t let anyone take advantage of it.”
Jiang Chi replied and left the room.
When she was alone in the office, Murong Qiao reached out to pick up her phone and remembered to send Huo Yichen a message saying that she had arrived at the company. She even took a photo of the blue sky outside the French window and sent it to him.
The azure and pure white clouds seemed to have been divided into several parts. They were ethereal and soft. The clouds at the edges that were blurry seemed to be a little light blue, making one feel happy.
Buzz.
The cell phone on the conference table vibrated.
“Our stock price this quarter—” Even the executive’s voice paused for a moment because of this vibration.
Many people at the conference table vaguely looked at Huo Yichen. To be precise, they were wondering who would send Huo Yichen a message at this time.
Huo Yichen decided to multitask. “Continue.”
He picked up his cell phone. As soon as he opened it, he saw Murong Qiao’s message and the photo. His originally fierce and cold expression couldn’t help but soften for a moment, as if spring had come after snow, making people find it strange.
[I’m in a meeting. What do you want to eat when you go home tonight? I’ll bring it back.]’
Huo Yichen typed a reply and his fingertips danced on the screen. However, when he looked up at the screen, his gaze returned to calmness, making the reporting executive’s heart tighten. He spoke faster and ended the report in advance.
“Everyone, what do you think of the current situation?”
Huo Yichen placed his hands on the table and glanced at everyone on both sides.
The comments were scattered, but none of them were useful.
Until Xu Dong spoke.
“I think we might as well start some new cooperation projects.”
Xu Dong met Huo Yichen’s cold gaze. “Although the Huo Corporation is still the leader of the industry, we can’t keep to the old ways…”
Xu Dong spoke methodically. After he finished speaking, Li Zhidong also spoke.
Li Zhidong was on Xu Dong’s side. Almost every time Xu Dong finished speaking, he would take the initiative to express his stance. He could be considered an old man on Xu Dong’s side. His words and actions could also reveal Xu Dong’s intentions. Huo Yichen was well aware of this.
“I think what Director Xu said makes sense. President Huo, you’ve been in office for a while now, so you should be familiar with the company’s matters—”
To put it bluntly, he despised Huo Yichen for already sitting in the position of President and not having any obvious results.
Not to mention the outside world, even the people in the board of directors wanted to have a piece of the cake and a slab of meat.
In the past, Huo Hong was like a knife that hung over everyone’s hearts, making them not dare to say anything.
But now, it was Huo Yichen, the new President, who was so young that people felt indignant at first glance. Not to mention, the board of directors was filled with old people who followed Huo Hong.
No one wanted Huo Yichen to suppress them. They all had their own plans.
Seeing Xu Dong and Li Zhidong say this, a few fence sitters also stood in line to pressure Huo Yichen.
Ye Zhen, who was standing beside Huo Yichen, felt the pressure increase when he heard this. He couldn’t help but secretly peek at his President’s expression.
Huo Yichen’s expression was calm. His sweeping gaze made it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
Hence, Ye Zhen looked at Li Zhidong, who had spoken just now. When he thought of how the President had asked him to investigate previously and what he had seen the other party do, he subconsciously felt frustrated.
After the fence sitters finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
“Is that what everyone thinks?” Huo Yichen asked.
No one answered. It could also be a tacit agreement.
After all, no matter which side it was, they actually wanted to see something happen to Huo Yichen. This way, they could directly hold on to the other party’s mistakes and directly snatch some benefits.
After Huo Yichen asked, he looked at everyone’s expressions again. In the end, his gaze landed meaningfully on Li Zhidong, who had just spoken. He suddenly chuckled.
That laughter was especially obvious in the silent meeting room, but it made one feel a chill run down their spine.
Huo Yichen leaned back in his chair, signaling to Ye Zhen.
“This is the end of today’s meeting. Thank you for making time to attend.” Ye Zhen made a concluding remark.
To be honest, he was a little worried about his President. He didn’t know what these old things were scheming. If they were not careful, they would easily fall into the pit and be stained with dirt.
After the meeting ended, Ye Zhen followed Huo Yichen back to the office.
“Ye Zhen,” Huo Yichen called out to him. “How’s the information I asked you to gather previously?”
“It’s sufficient, President,” Ye Zhen replied.
Huo Yichen rubbed the cold body of the fountain pen in his hand, thinking about something. After a while, he spoke.
“Then let’s start with Li Zhidong.”
The group of restless old things on the board of directors needs to be properly frightened.
He had to let them know who the true master of the Huo Corporation was.
Li Zhidong received an invitation. The venue was Evergreen Pavilion, a private room he was very familiar with.
When he saw the invitation, he didn’t think too much about it. He told his daughter that he might not be home tonight, and he went to the Evergreen Pavilion.
Evergreen Pavilion was a not-so-famous teahouse. As soon as Li Zhidong entered, he greeted the attendant and went to the private room on the second floor.
After going upstairs, Li Zhidong stood at the door and knocked twice before carefully pushing open the door and walking in.
However, as soon as he entered and saw the person sitting inside, he almost turned around and wanted to leave.
However, when he turned around, he was intercepted by a black-suited bodyguard in the distance. Then, he watched helplessly as the door he had personally pushed open was closed and locked by the other party.
Huo Yichen sat at the main seat of the tea table and took a sip of the tea in his hand with a calm expression. He looked up at Li Zhidong, whose forehead was already sweating.
“Director Li, sit.”
Li Zhidong’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Huo Yichen say this and looking at the tall and strong bodyguards that he couldn’t defeat at all, he had no choice but to sit down.
He sat down with fear and trepidation, the smile on his face forcing his panic. ”Y-You asked me out?”
“Yes,” Huo Yichen admitted. “I’m very interested in Director Li’s suggestion at the meeting. After all, I’m young and frivolous, so I especially want to find an opportunity to ask for guidance.”
“I-I see…” Li Zhidong stammered.
As he spoke, his hand, which was hidden under the table, kept moving towards his pocket, wanting to get his cell phone.
However, in the next moment, Li Zhidong’s hand was forcefully picked up by the bodyguard and placed on the table. Then, his cell phone was snatched away by the other party.
He was completely passive..
