318: Chapter 297: Purge the Board of Directors 318: Chapter 297: Purge the Board of Directors “Old Zhang, look at the weather today, it’s not bad. What did you ask me earlier?” “I received the concert tickets I booked, and I was too occupied looking at my phone just now. Old Li, did you see what happened?” “My eyes are failing me, you know that. How could I have seen anything?” When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down! Just like a play, life imitates art, everyone acting their part, but in the end, they saw nothing! “Do we need to raise our hands to vote, gentlemen?” Liu Hun asked Lin Hongsheng and Xie Dan. The situation was clearly lost, and neither of them was a fool. They understood the situation well. Lin Hongsheng pointed at Liu Hun fiercely and said, “Alright! Liu, you just wait! I will make a comeback!” “Just comfort yourself. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out,” Liu Hun tossed the words at Lin Hongsheng before turning to address the entire board. Though completely reluctant, with Lin Hongsheng and Xie Dan watching Liu Hun take full control, they could only leave with their tails between their legs, as dismal as homeless dogs. “Ladies and gentlemen!” Liu Hun suddenly raised his voice, his tone full of authority as he spoke to all the members of the Hu Group board, “I formally declare, from this moment! Right now! The factional struggles that have hindered the group’s progress for decades are officially over! Let bygones be bygones. I hope that everyone here can work together sincerely and forge ahead!” “Clap, clap, clap...” Cui Chengpeng stood up, almost in tears, as he clapped. He never imagined that Liu Hun would accomplish in such a short time what he himself had wanted but failed to achieve. Led by Hu Qingdie, all the board members stood up and clapped. This was more than just applause—it was a gesture of recognition and a pledge of loyalty! If such a scene had taken place a few months ago, Hu Qingdie wouldn’t have even wanted to see it happen, much less lead it. But now, having given her promise and her heart to Liu Hun, she relished the moment. Before one can eliminate external troubles, one must first secure internal stability. Now that internal matters were dealt with, Liu Hun’s next plan was to tackle external issues. In the elevator leaving the Hu Group building, Liu Hun called Ning Qiaohan, “Miss Ning, it’s time to start buying up Green Power Pharmaceutical shares. Buy as much as possible until all seven billion is spent.” “Mr. Liu, just a friendly reminder, Green Power’s stock price is plummeting like it’s on a laxative. Investing now is very risky,” Ning Qiaohan kindly cautioned Liu Hun. “Now!” Liu Hun said and hung up the phone without wasting another word. After ending the call, he turned to Huang Zishan beside him and asked, “How’s the press conference coming along?” “Invitations are being sent out now. Tomorrow night at seven at Imperial City Hotel’s lobby. All major domestic financial media journalists will be there,” Huang Zishan replied before asking Liu Hun, “Will the chairman be releasing the news?” Liu Hun glanced at Hu Qingdie with a smile and then said, “Of course.” “If we buy shares of Green Power while publishing news, we might be investigated,” Hu Qingdie cautioned Liu Hun, clearly concerned. With a confident smile, Liu Hun replied, “By that time, there’ll be something else that will capture everyone’s attention, and no one will be looking at us.” “What’s that?” Huang Zishan asked curiously. “Ding!” The elevator reached the parking garage, and Liu Hun walked out calmly, leaving a phrase behind, “You’ll know when it happens,” before getting into his car. Ah, I thought tonight... both Hu Qingdie and Huang Zishan were thinking that, though they were thinking of different things. At this moment, in the office of the chairman of Green Power Pharmaceutical, the secretary was nervously reporting the current situation. “People are buying up our company’s stocks in large quantities on the stock market?” Gongsun Jing frowned. “Make your move!” Hong Zhurou, who was lounging on the sofa and watching the excitement, blurted out unexpectedly. The secretary looked around the vast office, confused about where the voice had come from. He rubbed his ears, thinking he was hearing things, “Yes! The shares on the secondary market are almost all bought up.” Gongsun Jing glared at Hong Zhurou, signaling her to remain quiet. Apart from Gongsun Jing, no one could see her and people might think the office was haunted if word got out. “You can go now; I’ve got it,” Gongsun Jing dismissed her secretary, silently thinking that Liu Hun must have started to make his move. Seeing the secretary leave, Red Spider swung her enticing legs and said, “Isn’t it obvious? It’s got to be Liu Hun.” “Like you’re the only one who knows!” Gongsun Jing replied, then added worriedly, “The Sect Leader is not here now; we can only act on our own. What are we planning to do about Dai Mei?” “Them? They’re too proud! They wouldn’t bother with the likes of a flirtatious woman like me!” After saying this, Red Spider purposely jiggled her chest, making it a dizzying sight. Gongsun Jing spoke indifferently, “Without any news of the Sect Leader, we can only rely on each other. Besides, the law firm has been providing funds for us.” “Do you mean we can’t make money ourselves? Apart from Green Power Company, we have plenty of profitable biopharmaceutical projects. They might be fewer than theirs, but who would reach out to them unless absolutely necessary? And, after all, most of the resources are being used by the people under Long Die, those who cake on makeup and strut around on TV every day!” Red Spider was very unsatisfied, truly unsatisfied. “They can glare at me all they want!” Gongsun Jing didn’t have many ways to deal with Red Spider and sighed, “I’m worried that Liu Hun’s ambition is too great, that he wants to devour Green Power whole and kick me out as well.” “Well, he would have to be capable of that!” Red Spider said with a pout, then suddenly remembered something, “Right! Liu Hun’s men are after the same target as I am!” “Li Qianqing, the female music professor?” Gongsun Jing immediately asked. Under the Sect Leader, there were four branches, which were meant to stick to their respective duties. However, since they were all women, the saying goes that where there are many women, there is much gossip. Those who were supposed to finance resented those who give out money, those gathering intelligence resented those who were lobbying—basically, other than the leaders of the four branches, none of the women got along. Eventually, they all started encroaching on each other’s territory, just to avoid looking at each other’s faces. Mobiles and hoes unite, and those united dig at mobiles—that’s what it was like. “Yes, that’s her,” Red Spider told Gongsun Jing, her face devoid of emotion as she spoke of the matter. Originally, Red Spider had investigated Liu Hun, but since the Silver Dragon incident, another power had surfaced, and her investigative focus had shifted. “No matter what others do, our strategy towards Liu Hun should be to approach tentatively. We shouldn’t waste effort on him. But we must figure out who this new power is. Since they don’t belong to ‘that person,’ they must come from the same place as we do,” Gongsun Jing told Red Spider. Now, without contact with the Sect Leader, they could only feel their way forward. “They definitely don’t belong to ‘that person.’ They’ve even clashed with Qiao Guangbi’s forces!” Red Spider said, pulling something from the drawer next to her and said, “You handle Liu Hun; I’ll take care of that side. What’s this?” “Don’t mess with my things!” Gongsun Jing wanted to stop her, but it was too late. “Wow! Crotchless stockings, oh! And from France no less. I had no idea our cold-blooded Chairman also had a scorching hot heart.” Red Spider tore open the package and touched the smooth, soft texture, which indeed felt great to touch. “Say what you will,” Gongsun Jing didn’t want to engage with her, as some secrets deep within can’t be shared with others, even those who are almost like sisters. Red Spider simply slipped the stockings on her legs, pulling them up and saying, “Chairman, don’t tell me all the plants in your office are from men you’ve had your fun with.” Red Spider knew how formidable Gongsun Jing was; superficial encounters could be avoided using top-grade artificial skin, but how could she wrap that alluring pit below, or cover Ding Xiang’s little tongue? “If I say it isn’t, you wouldn’t believe me anyway,” Gongsun Jing felt her head starting to ache. “Wow! These really are sexy! They suit me so well. Look, they even reveal the tomb where men are buried,” Red Spider said, not satisfied enough, she even stuck her behind out to show it off. Gongsun Jing was nearly rolling her eyes, “A woman can live for herself; she doesn’t have to live to please men.” Red Spider ignored her and kept talking, “Liu Hun probably wouldn’t be scared off by that, would he? I could help you two get together.” “Just take off the stockings and get to real work!” Gongsun Jing’s tone got a bit heavier, but Red Spider’s words had sparked a thought in her mind, which she quickly dismissed. Red Spider, wiggling her plump behind, moved towards the window and said, “I rarely find ones that fit me; I’ll keep wearing these sexy ones.” Gongsun Jing, supporting her forehead with her fingers, said, “If you’re not afraid of someone seeing a pair of stockings whisking back and forth across the glass wall, then suit yourself.” “Not afraid!” Red Spider arrogantly tilted her head, then climbed out the window. After Red Spider left, and the office returned to its quiet state, Gongsun Jing tore off the artificial skin on her hands, looked at her slightly greenish own skin, and murmured silently, “Can he... really be the one...” In the lobby of the Imperial City Hotel, nearly all of the slightly reputable financial media were present, for none other than the Hu Group’s press conference. This time, the leading role was no longer Xie Dan but the Chairman, Hu Qingdie. “Thank you, media friends, for joining us here and for your care and affection for the Hu Group. Today, on behalf of the board of the Hu Group, I officially announce that Lin Hongsheng, the former director of the Hu Group, and Xie Dan, the former vice-chairman, due to violations of board regulations and inappropriate remarks, have been stripped of their membership on the board and are no longer authorized to exercise the decision-making rights of the group,” Hu Qingdie formally announced this news to the reporters. That statement was quite intriguing—what did “inappropriate remarks” mean? Reporters quickly picked up on this.
