Chapter 1585: Quibble
“The man in this recording is the so-called genius Liu Jifei,” Liu Huai ridiculed Liu Jifei sarcastically. “This is the so-called genius whom big brother has been talking about? He is indeed quite a genius. He not only used incense to miraculously make the Ming Yang Security Company sign the contract, but he also got a subordinate’s girlfriend into bed. This woman is the girlfriend of Xu Xiaobin who is our group’s Song Jiang office manager.”
“You— You— are speaking nonsense!” Liu Zhenan was so furious that his face turned green. He didn’t think that his ticulous plan to promote Liu Jifei would be ruined by his good sister! Liu Zhenan knew that he couldn’t be weak at this ti. If he displayed vulnerability, it would be admitting that he had lied to his grandfather. This was sothing that his grandfather would never tolerate.
“Nonsense?” Liu Huai raised her eyebrows critically. “This recording was sent to by Xu Xiaobin personally.”
“So what? Even if the person in this recording is really Liu Jifei, it only indicates that his private life is complicated. What does this have to do with his personal ability? No one is perfect, and all capable people are a little tyrannical. This is normal!” Liu Jifei said. “Besides, It is obvious that the man and woman in this recording are flirting. Listen to how shaless that woman was. How can you trust Xu Xiaobin’s words? He was cuckolded, so of course, he would be upset. It’s reasonable for him to slander Liu Jifei.”
“Zhenan, is Liu Jifei really a capable person?” Liu Jiangyan sighed. Things were already clear, yet his grandson was still in denial. This incident was perpetrated by Liu Jifei, it had nothing to do with Liu Zhenan. Yet Liu Zhenan was still protecting him dearly and wanted to put him in an essential position in the group. He was so sure that Liu Jifei was a capable person.
“I’m not clear about his private life. I don’t even need to know about it. We’re a big group. What we value is an individual’s ability to work, not their private life after working hours. This is sothing that even the law protects. Do we need to understand it deeply?” Liu Zhenan said eloquently, “Grandfather, I only know that this contract was negotiated successfully by him and that it is also extrely beneficial to the company. This is why I think he is talented and I strongly recomnd him to assu an even more important position. This is also for the company’s sake!”
“If that’s the case, then I might as well tell you that this contract was also negotiated through the sa ans.” Liu Huai stared coldly at Liu Zhenan. This kind of person actually ntioned his selfish desires so clearly. He obviously wants to plant a trusted aide, and now it’s for the company’s sake. This cousin…
“Little sister, everything needs evidence. As I ntioned earlier, we can’t just listen to Xu Xiaobin’s words alone! His girlfriend cuckolded him so, of course, he would be hateful. It’s also reasonable for him to slander others.” Liu Zhenan wasn’t afraid of anything. Although this matter had been revealed, it was Xu Xiaobin’s side of the story at the end of the day. Where was the evidence? The evidence had long been swept clean. Liu Luyou had cleaned up all of the evidence at the scene where the contract was signed. This was sothing easy to do for a black-hearted lawyer.
This was why Liu Zhenan was so fearless. No matter what Liu Huai says, he could render her words useless with just a ‘where’s the evidence?’
“Of course, I have evidence.” Liu Huai smiled arrogantly as she looked at her pitiful cousin. He really wouldn’t give up. Since she dared to attack him at a board eting, she’d naturally have a winning card. If it was really a matter of sheer fiction, then Liu Huai wouldn’t be bothered even if she could use it to attack Liu Zhenan.
Liu Zhenan’s face changed a little, but he thought, Even if she has evidence, Xu Xiaobin wouldn’t have co over so many tis to request for changes in the contract. As long as I forcefully throw out the evidence, there’s no fear of having to give in.
Therefore, Liu Zhenan felt that the so-called evidence would be similar to the recording; it would be untenable. The most it could do was raise suspicion and doubt within others.
“Do you? Then I shall have to listen to it attentively. It could be that I’ve really been blinded by Liu Jifei.” Liu Zhenan said ingeniously. He saved himself an escape route and shifted all of his responsibility.
If Liu Huai really had the so-called critical evidence in her hands, then Liu Zhenan could say that he didn’t know anything about Liu Jifei’s actions. He was blinded by him!
Everyone in attendance scolded Liu Jifei in their hearts for his shalessness and insensitivity after hearing his words. He had escaped his responsibilities so easily. Soone so irresponsible would never have been able to assu the vice-president position if he wasn’t the old man Liu Jiangyan’s grandson.
Many elites in attendance sighed. It’s true that no matter how much effort they put in, it still wouldn’t amount to much. It was still better to have a good grandfather.
Even Liu Huai couldn’t help but grimace a little. This Liu Zhen is unbelievably shaless. As for Liu Jiangyan, he still seed undisturbed. He couldn’t show how much anger he held in his heart. If he revealed it in public, it would an that he wanted to abolish his grandson of the vice-president position. It was impossible for him to not save his grandson so face. Exposing him would be equivalent to crushing his reputation completely.
He could scold him, but it wasn’t essential. He definitely couldn’t make him lose reputation in front of everyone. He sighed, “Is this the future successor of my Jiangyan Group? Will he bring the entire Jiangyan Group to its end?”
“This is an appraisal report from the authorities. I believe that everyone here is wise and intelligent. It won’t be hard for you to see what this ans.” Liu Huai said, “I have made a few copies of this appraisal report. I’ll pass it to everyone. Do exchange with one another and have a look.”
Liu Huai raised her hand as she spoke. Her secretary, who was in charge of the eting, ca over. She helped Liu Huai hand out the copies of the appraisal report. Liu Zhenan kept a poker face and pretended like he didn’t care. He received a copy of the report and started reading.
The people present were all elites in the market aside from the brothers of the Liu Family. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be eligible to attend this eting. Although many non-mbers of the board had no right to speak, they had the right to sit in as observers. The Liu Family proposed this as a asure of fairness, and it had been recognized by the middle-class elites within the company. It made them feel extrely honored to be able to attend the eting.
Liu Huai had made this proposal. And as an incentive for employees, the family took out a small number of free shares as a bonus reward to these middle-class elites to encourage their enthusiasm.
However, Liu Hua and Liu Zhenan opposed had Liu Huai’s move at first. After all, the matters discussed by the board of directors were internal matters of their family, so why would they let outsiders listen? What if they let out sothing confidential by accident?
However, under Liu Jiangyan’s insistence, this proposal was implented quickly.
Liu Zhenan’s face turned gloomier and gloomier as he read the content of the report! He would never have thought that the people from the Ming Yang Security Company would pull such an unusual stunt. They didn’t play their standard cards and made a huge deal out of the fingerprints on the contract. Even the ticulous Liu Luyou might not be able to think of this. This was indeed, negligence!
The people in attendance were not naive. There was no reason for them to not understand that Liu Zhenan could. Plus, Liu Huai had already described Liu Jifei’s cris in full detail before. It was not difficult to identify the problem which the appraisal report was pointing to.
“Could it be that there really is a hidden agenda in this matter?” Liu Zhenan interrupted just as the old man Liu Jiangyan was about to open his mouth. He needed to keep paving his way out. Otherwise, this matter might really cause him to fall into the hands of his little sister.
“Now that I’ve seen this report, I can conclude that Liu Jifei is highly suspicious. I’m a fair person, and I don’t take sides. Although I truly see the potential in Liu Jifei, he still has to receive the fitting punishnts since he has done sothing wrong!” Liu Zhenan said shalessly. “However, there is also a great possibility that this whole thing was just a trap which Xu Xiaobin had set up to get revenge on Liu Jifei!” Although this report does seem authoritative, you guys are all aware to which extent counterfeiting technology has advanced to! Even the emperor’s jade and imperial edicts from a few hundred years ago can be forged. Who’s to say that there isn’t a problem with this problematic contract paper? You should know that although fingerprints seem hard to erase, I do know a thod involving lasers that can remove certain traces of fingerprints under a microscope. This wouldn’t be too hard to do, right?”
Chapter 1586: The Liu Family’s Fight for Power
Liu Zhenan’s words seed greatly selfless and unbiased, yet they had, in fact, exculpated Liu Jifei greatly. They indicated that this evidence still couldn’t prove anything. The counterfeiting technology was so advanced nowadays, so wouldn’t it be easy to counterfeit?
Moreover, the previous recording had also proved that Liu Jifei and Xu Xiaobin had a huge irreconcilable feud. Liu Zhenan’s words had turned the whole thing into Xu Xiaobin hating on Liu Jifei. It was believed that any other guy would also have a similar mindset. In other words, all of Xu Xiaobin’s actions were done to get revenge on Liu Jifei. Then, was this so-called evidence still believable?
Everyone sighed silently. Liu Huai really couldn’t compete with Liu Zhenan in the skill of being shaless. Liu Huai had attacked Liu Zhenan during the board etings several tis, but he had shifted all of his responsibilities easily!
This ti was the sa. A firm report, which was initially substantial had been described as a counterfeit by Liu Zhenan. Yet it really was possible. This was how treacherous Liu Zhenan was.
With this, even if everyone were suspicious, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to Liu Zhenan. However, had Liu Zhenan really averted danger every ti? It indeed seed that way on the surface. However, from Liu Jiangyan’s perspective, each ti Liu Zhenan averted danger, his reputation would degrade significantly in his heart.
Liu Jiangyan just hadn’t co to the decision of taking away all of his grandson’s power yet. He had never said anything. If he did, it would an that things had reached an irreparable level.
Although Liu Jiangyan appeared to be a democrat who acceded to the collective opinion of his family mbers, this wasn’t exactly the case. Liu Jiangyan was indeed a kind of tyrant in his core. Most entrepreneurs who had experienced early stages of entrepreneurship and walked toward brilliance had the characteristic of their words holding an enormous weight. If they really wanted to do sothing, then there was nothing that others could say to change it.
This was evident from how Liu Huai had assud an important position in the Jiangyan Group. Wasn’t it because of the old man’s vigorous intervention that she had managed to be promoted?
” Hehe, according to big brother, there really is a possibility of this Xu Xiaobin having a motive to counterfeit.” Liu Huai didn’t express her anger after she heard Liu Zhenan’s words. She only smiled to indicate that she acknowledged them.
“Yeah, indeed!” Liu Zhenan was stunned a little. He didn’t understand why Liu Huai would give up attacking him all of a sudden. Could it be that she knew that she couldn’t do much to him with this trick? However, Liu Zhenan didn’t know that Liu Huai had long guessed that he would say so, and had ntioned it to Xu Xiaobin, Jing Xiaolu, and others beforehand.
Fortunately, Jing Xiaolu had a counterasure which she already relayed to Liu Huai. This was why Liu Huai was so calm. She was unbothered by the so-called ‘counterfeiting’ accusation. “Then, big brother, may I ask if there is a motive or possibility for you to counterfeit?”
“?” Liu Zhenan was confused by Liu Huai’s question. His face showed an inexplicable expression. “Why would I deceive you? What motive or possibility could I have? Little sister, are you kidding ?”
“Okay. It’s a pity since there is no possibility for you to counterfeit. This ans that there is no possibility for Xu Xiaobin to do so too,” Liu Huai smiled slightly as she looked at Liu Zhenan like a prey who had fallen into her hunter’s trap.
“What do you an?” Liu Zhenan vaguely sensed that there was sothing wrong. However, he couldn’t identify the problem at this mont. He looked at Liu Huai, who was oddly confident all of a sudden, and felt a guilty conscience as if he had stepped on her tail.
“Since Xu Xiaobin’s fingerprint isn’t on the Ming Yang Security Company’s contract, then his fingerprint also isn’t on the contract in your hand. There also isn’t the fingerprint of the other party’s CEO either!” Liu Huai looked into Liu Zhenan’s eyes as her words pierced his soul. “I think, big brother, you wouldn’t be so la to use so modern laser technology to erase the fingerprints on the contract in your hands, right?”
“I— This—” Liu Zhenan’s eyes showed a horrified gaze. His chest expanded and contracted as if he had received a huge stimulus. He leveled a deadly stare at Liu Huai, “This is impossible— Impossible. You can evaluate—”
Despite his words, he was already lacking in confidence! Liu Zhenan knew that since Liu Huai had dared to ask this question in front of so many people, it ant that she had the confidence to win. This was why Liu Zhenan was stunned on the spot. “I know, Liu Jifei must have lied to . He lied to ! So much for trusting him!”
Liu Huai gave a scornful glance at her elder brother, who was continually defending and denying his actions. She was also too lazy to expose him. “Since that’s the case, there’s nothing much to argue about this matter anymore. I suggest that our group should reassign a specialist to renegotiate the terms of the contract with the Ming Yang Security Company, as well as give them necessary compensation.”
“That’s right! We must reassign soone!” Liu Zhenan’s chest was undulating, and his eyes were full of hate. However, he did not hate Liu Jifei or himself, but Liu Huai! He wouldn’t be so embarrassed if not for Lui Huai. Liu Zhenan would never reflect on his own faults; he would instead push all of his responsibilities onto other people. “This ti, our company has wronged the Ming Yang Security Company. We have to send a powerful person from the group so that we can be valued by the Ming Yang Security Company! Since this matter is being handled by little sister, I suggest that all future matters of Song Jiang’s newly established office should be handled by her ”
Liu Zhenan finished saying all of his thoughts in one breath, and then stared at Liu Huai angrily as he panted! This lady, you ruined my plans. Very well then. You’re so selfless that it is up to you to handle this matter from now on. See how I’ll finish you when you leave the core of the Jiangyan Group!
The people present, including President Liu Hua, did not dare to speak. They were all holding their breaths at this mont. Liu Zhenan was obviously in a state of insanity! He didn’t know what decision the old man Liu Jiangyan would co to.
Liu Hua was a little annoyed at his son; it was really too suffocating. Who can you fool with your flowery? You keep pushing away and denying, yet you still want to do sothing to Liu Huai in the end! Do you really think that Liu Jiangyan is a fool?
Everyone was waiting for Liu Jiangyan to say sothing. However, Liu Jiangyan’s expression remained the sa, as if Liu Zhenan’s words didn’t sway him at all. He was still indifferent.
Liu Jiangyan had long gotten used to remaining indifferent. Although he didn’t show much on the surface, his heart was struggling. This grandson had indeed let him down. He had entered the office for the longest ti and had the highest position. Yet he did such a thing, just like a kid! Who could he fool with such aningless words?
Liu Jiangyan made a decision in his mind. This is the last ti, dear grandson. I will give you one last chance, it’ll depend on you whether you can grasp it.
“Liu Huai, you will have a new position as the CEO of the newly established Song Jiang branch office. You will be stationed at Song Jiang, and be fully responsible for the cooperation matters between the branch office and the Ming Yang Security Company.” The old man Liu Jiangyan had spoken and made a decision that shocked everyone. “Liu Zhenan, you will hold the position of deputy director in the group’s finance departnt. You will be in charge of the finance departnt’s daily operations and report to Liu Huai regularly!”
