317: Chapter 296: Forcing a Girlfriend 317: Chapter 296: Forcing a Girlfriend “I have no idea about that; the person is elusive, making it hard to know what they’re up to. But judging by Liu Hun’s current situation, that person probably hasn’t taken much notice of him yet,” Ning Qiaohan relayed all the intelligence she had received from Qin Yishan to the charming woman. “Also, it seems that we’re not the only ones testing Liu Hun; nor is it just that person’s power,” Ning Qiaohan continued to the seductive woman. The enchanting woman nodded, as if she had long sensed something, “The Clan Leader said that it’s not just us and that person who have emerged. They’ve already formed a substantial force. I’ll meet with Qin Yishan later.” The two were lost in a brief silence, each with their thoughts. At that moment, Liu Hun was still being dragged around the mall on a shopping spree by Huang Zishan, and he had finally understood the painful ordeal of shopping, fully realizing why men disliked it so much. “Miss, this is Armani’s latest season! No discount! Twenty-three thousand eight hundred eighty!” “Swipe the card! Wrap it up for him!” “Miss, this newly arrived Tiffany bracelet was just air-shipped from Paris! Sixty-nine thousand eight!” “Swipe the card! Wrap it up for him!” “Miss, these three pairs of Louis Vuitton heels—two styles are non-discountable! The total is seventy-three thousand eight!” “Swipe the card! Wrap it up for him!” “...” It cost him money, and effort! Liu Hun truly couldn’t fathom how Huang Zishan could dash around all over the streets in high heels, let alone not get tired! This was a special skill, one that men would never acquire. Liu Hun was now completely weighed down by loads of items, incapable of pondering when exactly he had become Huang Zishan’s boyfriend. “Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep!” Liu Hun finally managed to dig his phone out of his pocket and saw it was Cui Chengpeng calling; he answered right away, “Director Cui, this is Liu Hun. What’s the matter?” “Executive Liu, I’ve heard that Lin Hongsheng is secretly contacting various media outlets; it looks like he’s preparing to make a move,” Cui Chengpeng said calmly from the other end of the phone. Strike first to gain the upper hand, lag behind, and suffer for it! “I understand, thank you, Director Cui.” Liu Hun hung up the phone and immediately dumped all of Huang Zishan’s purchases on the ground. “Hey! What are you doing?” Huang Zishan pouted, somewhat dissatisfied. “Business matters, holding a board meeting,” Liu Hun stood up, intending to leave. Huang Zishan quickly grabbed him and asked, “What... what about me, what about all this stuff?” “Miss, sir. Our store offers home delivery service for purchases over one hundred thousand,” the saleswoman attentive by their side hurriedly said, clearly overjoyed. Huang Zishan, still holding on to Liu Hun’s arm, handed her credit card to the saleswoman and said, “You swipe one hundred thousand, then have it delivered to the Imperial City Building.” “Eh! Okay!” The saleswoman took the card and left, giving no chance for second thoughts. This spendthrift woman! Liu Hun sighed inwardly, grateful that he had the funds to withstand such spending. “Are you going to see the chairman?” Huang Zishan tugged at Liu Hun. “We’re convening an emergency board meeting, of course, the chairman must announce it. You’ve done your shopping, why still cling to me?” Liu Hun really didn’t understand what Huang Zishan was up to day after day. Huang Zishan lifted her chin coquettishly, “I don’t want you to get tired, let’s go together!” Liu Hun instantly grasped Huang Zishan’s intention, helpless! He had no choice but to bring this tag-along. Hu Qingdie was very pleased to see Liu Hun and seeing Huang Zishan with him was like a discount on top of a discount, automatically dropping to half. Amidst the most intense board meeting struggle, all the directors were on edge, so upon hearing about the emergency board meeting, they all came, none absent. “I’m really curious now; some people skip the regular board meetings and still convene an emergency one,” Lin Hongsheng said with a mocking expression on his face. Xie Dan was well aware of Lin Hongsheng’s behind-the-scenes media contacts. They were now in the driver’s seat, with time being the only factor. Once the moment was ripe, they could completely take down Hu Qingdie and Liu Hun and gain utter control of the board. Hu Qingdie had by now fully “deepened” communication with Liu Hun, no longer worried that he might seize control of Hu Group. She was like a willow revived from a long drought, every blink and smile exuding captivating enchantment, wholly set on being a cheerleader. “Now that all the directors are present, then...” Liu Hun was speaking when suddenly Lin Hongsheng interrupted him. Lin Hongsheng bluntly criticized Liu Hun, “Since when is it the executive’s turn to speak first? Really don’t care about the chairman anymore?” The surrounding directors turned their gaze towards Hu Qingdie, only to see her behaving like a proud supporter of her man, showing no intention of presiding over the meeting. “Executive Liu is free to say what he wants, I have no objections,” Hu Qingdie said, her face beaming like a gentle breeze caressing willows, utterly charming. “Okay!” Lin Hongsheng, having been slapped in the face metaphorically, could only sit down, holding back his anger. Liu Hun swept a glance over the directors seated around him, hands shoved in his pockets, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the majestic city and spoke slowly, “The Hu Group, as an internationally renowned conglomerate, has been around for sixty years, and I hope to join hands with those present to usher in a new century for the Hu Group.” “The ancients said, ‘Without taking small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without gathering small streams, one cannot form rivers and seas...'” Liu Hun continued slowly, standing by the window like a statue, a monument, filled with nothing but passion and unmistakable resolve. Every director present felt deeply convinced in their hearts that it was this man, and only this man, who could lead the Hu Group with confidence. Nice reciting! Keep it up! Huang Zishan, standing behind Hu Qingdie, secretly gave Liu Hun a “V” sign – she had coached him on these words. “The establishment of the Hu Group was not the work of a single day; it cannot be destroyed by the burrow of ants and woodworms. To aspire to soar to a hundred years, one must first clear out some things.” As Liu Hun spoke, the passion in his voice suddenly began to diminish, replaced by a growing, piercing aura of ruthlessness! Lin Hongsheng certainly didn’t want Liu Hun to put on this invisible display of bravado, increasing his influence over the directors. He immediately stood up and confronted Liu Hun, “Executive Liu, this isn’t a university lecture hall, nor is it a place for you to show off! What on earth are you trying to say?” “I want to say...” Liu Hun spoke slowly and walked over to the table, pointing at Lin Hongsheng, “You! And Xie Dan are the scum! Today I’m going to roll you both out of here!” “Wow!” All the surrounding directors were shocked. There were rules in overt and covert fights, but none had ever seen someone as wildly unorthodox as Liu Hun. This certainly wasn’t what I taught him, what does he want to do? Huang Zishan was also stunned. Is it coming to blows? Hu Qingdie’s brow slightly furrowed. Bring it on! Let me witness your strength! Cui Chengpeng was full of anticipation. “How dare you! Liu, don’t think you’re something special just because you hold the position of an executive! Is my name something you can just casually call out?! Disrespecting the rules of the board of directors like this, what right or face do you have to continue as an executive?” Xie Dan angrily stood up, pointing at Liu Hun. “Sorry! I shouldn’t have called you by your name directly.” Liu Hun abruptly said to Xie Dan in all seriousness. Lin Hongsheng smiled triumphantly, “Good that you know your mistake.” “I should call you old hag, and you, it must be hard tilling such a rotten field for so long.” Liu Hun said to Lin Hongsheng and Xie Dan, his expression not one of apology but of outright provocation! “You...” “Now don’t talk, just listen! After listening, then you can express your thoughts.” Liu Hun finished speaking and took out the phone that Xie Huan had sold him, then hit the play button. Instantly, the conversation Xie Dan had with Xie Huan that day was clearly transmitted out, and the entire boardroom fell so quiet that not a single person uttered a sound. “According to the previous show of hands, you two can get lost now; don’t ever appear in the boardroom again.” Liu Hun said to the stunned Lin Hongsheng and Xie Dan. “Oh! Right!” he added and walked slowly to Lin Hongsheng’s side, “This will be your last appearance in the boardroom. You’re welcome to share any thoughts.” Xie Dan was completely baffled; she had never imagined her indulgent nephew would pull such a move. In her mind, Xie Huan was never capable of playing such a slightly complex trick! Lin Hongsheng, trembling in panic, could only blurt out one sentence, “Forgery! Yes, the thing you have is forged!” “Slap!” Liu Hun slapped Lin Hongsheng’s face directly, knocking him to the ground, his cheek swelling up immediately. All the surrounding directors were even more stunned, never expecting Liu Hun to physically strike someone. “You hit someone! Do you have no regard for the law! I’m going to sue you!” Xie Dan hurried forward to help her partner. “Xie... old hag, if I’m not mistaken, you used to be the wife of the former chairman, right? What does this mean?” Liu Hun stared at Xie Dan, questioning her. It was at this moment Xie Dan realized she had shown too much concern for Lin Hongsheng, inadvertently piercing through the paper screen of secrecy herself. “So, it’s true after all, who would have thought... who would have thought.” “Now they’ve lost face as well as their position, the Xie Family is likely done for.” “I thought it was just a rumour; turns out it’s true. And now, the two of them have even betrayed the interests of the group, utterly disgraceful!” The surrounding directors’ discussions had essentially pushed the Xie Family to the edge of a cliff, and Lin Hongsheng, jumping up, pointed at Liu Hun and roared, “I’m going to sue you for intentional injury!” “Evidence?” Lin Hongsheng pointed at his own face and said, “This is the evidence!” “Forged!” Liu Hun coldly echoed Lin Hongsheng’s earlier words. “You...” Lin Hongsheng never expected to experience the feeling of shooting himself in the foot like this, and he roared in frustration, “Everyone here saw it!” “Who? Did anyone else see it?” Liu Hun asked casually. Huang Zishan took eye drops out of her bag and suggested to Hu Qingdie, “Chairwoman, you said your eyes were a bit blurry just now, let’s put some eye drops in.” “You rascal, always full of wicked ideas,” Hu Qingdie said to Huang Zishan with a snicker.
