Chapter 1583: Outrage

So, Liu Zhenan thought that he had secured himself a good excuse. Still, he didn’t expect Xu Xiaobin to have reached out to Liu Huamei! The reason why he was so arrogant before was that he thought Xu Xiaobin couldn’t bypass him and find someone else!

There were only three people in the whole group who could solve this problem, namely himself, as the vice president; his father, as the president; and his grandfather, the chairman of the group!

Of course, Liu Zhenan did not think that Xu Xiaobin had the capability even to meet his grandfather who was the chairman and talk to him in person. It was simply impossible for it to happen. He was confident as it was difficult even for himself to meet with his grandfather. Besides the meeting between the board of directors, he would first have to first submit his suggestions and proposals to his father. Then it would reach his grandfather only through his father.

So, there was only one person left in the whole group who could talk to his grandfather directly and without obstacles. That person was his father, Liu Hua, the group’s president! Of course, there was another particular case, that was Liu Huamei!

This cousin of mine! Even her name got on Liu Zhenan’s nerves for no other reason than the fact that she had a bright mind and could always win grandfather’s heart! He just couldn’t get the logic. Everyone was a direct descendant of the Liu Family, and Liu Huamei was a woman, so why she could speak to grandfather whenever she wanted? And why was it so difficult for him, the group’s vice president, to even meet grandfather?

Why, why is this even happening? Liu Zhenan refused to accept this reality. So, he would do everything to create trouble for his cousin. Since you’re so bright and grandfather has sided you so much, I’ll generate every difficulty in the whole world for you, so that even grandfather can’t keep you in the end!

After all, the power of the company’s board of directors had now been decentralized, and it was no longer ‘one man speaks for all’. As long as someone lit the lighter, even grandfather wouldn’t be able to extinguish the fire without burning himself.

Besides, Liu Zhenan had never taken Xu Xiaobin seriously at all. In his opinion, Xu Xiaobin couldn’t set off any storm. Even though Liu Zhenan would never have the chance to speak to his grandfather, his father Liu Hua would definitely on his side. He was confident his father would cover him even if Xu Xiaobin contacted him.

His conflict with Liu Zheqiao for power and positions was just a mess within their own core family of the third son. Both of them were their father’s sons, so it didn’t matter to their father about which one of them climbed to the top. Therefore, Liu Hua had no reason to act against his sons’ ways.

Therefore, Liu Zhenan could be audacious enough to put forward his recommendation during the board of directors’ meeting. He even dared to misrepresent some low lives like Liu Jifei as a talent.

“Liu Jifei?” Liu Jiangyan silently mouthed the name again. He somehow could remember this son of the Liu Family. Liu Jifei was one of the nephews to his uncle’s side., He established a Liu Family’s Venture Fund when he gained his wealth. Each of the Liu Family’s children would be entitled a venture capital when they became adults. Liu Jifei was one of them.

From what he could recall, Liu Jifei ran a relatively small trading company. He built his success on the foundation of the Jiangyan Group and did just some small business. Liu Jiangyan couldn’t really believe that he was a talent.

It had to be known that even though Liu Jifei was a collateral relative and not in his direct family, Liu Jiangyan had paid the necessary attention to him after he had received the venture fund. In other words, the old man was still clear of Liu Jifei’s every move.

After all, Liu Jiangyan also wanted to see if there were any talents among the Liu Family’s ancillary families. If there were any, he didn’t mind providing a stepping stone for them. However, he didn’t have the excessive energy to help those with mediocre qualifications. He felt that he owed nothing to the Liu Family’s descendants, as long as he provided them with the advantages of a venture capital and the Jiangyan Group’s name so that they could start their small businesses.

Although he didn’t show anything on the outside, Liu Jiangyan was a little disappointed in his grandson when he introduced Liu Jifei as a talent.

The Group belonged to the entire Liu Family! The quality of the Group and its executives would be critical to the success of the Group’s future development. Liu Jiangyan could see why Liu Zhenan was trying to place his own men in the Group. In fact, a large business family was similar to those imperial families in the past.

The struggles and conflicts between the family members were no weaker than the imperial dramas. It was common for siblings to fight to the death for power and interests.

Liu Jiangyan was puzzled when he witnessed some of his old childhood friends fighting over the family business and power when he was young. At that time, he was naive to think that as long as he educated his children properly, he could prevent such things from happening in the future.

However, he suddenly realized that everything was far beyond his will and control when he became this old. His three sons fought over the power first; then, the fight was carried on by two of his grandsons and his granddaughter!

Because he had understood this, Liu Jiangyan kept quiet on Liu Zhenan placing his men in some important positions in the company. All he could do now was to maintain the apparent harmony between his children and grandchildren.

As long as they still cared to keep their harmonious faces and didn’t go too far in front of him, Liu Jiangyan would turn a blind eye to their actions. However, he was still secretly hoping for his little granddaughter to survive until the very end!

The reason behind this was that although Liu Huamei was also participating in the fight, she did it with a pure intention! Every decision that Liu Huamei made was for the benefit of the company. Even if it was for her own sake, it would also be under the premise of the company’s interests. She had never fought with others for her personal benefits!

Liu Jiangyan would be without worries and could guarantee the company’s bright future only if he handed over the company to such a fair person. On the other hand, every decision that Liu Zhenan made was all for himself; perhaps he had no interest in the company’s benefits at all.

It was clear that Liu Zhenan was selfish just by looking at his decision to recommend Liu Jifei as the deputy director of the company’s finance department. Although it was a deputy position, it was still prestigious!

Letting such a mediocre person hold such a position? Isn’t this a joke? He doesn’t even care about the company’s profit at all? Liu Jiangyan was clear about Liu Zhenan’s ulterior motives for this recommendation. He wanted to do this because he was unsatisfied with the current situation where the finance department was always headed by his granddaughter, Liu Huamei. He wanted to take this opportunity to bury a bomb next to Liu Huamei.

“This contract was signed under the supervision of Liu Jifei?” Liu Jiangyan glanced at the copy of the contract in his hand, looked through it, and frowned slightly. He drummed his fingers on the table rhythmically, while raising his question slowly.

“Yes, our company has also had many similar cooperations, but this is undoubtedly the most successful and beneficial one for our company this time!” Liu Zhenan said proudly. “It can be seen that Liu Jifei is definitely talented. Our company should entrust such talent with a relevant position so that we can maximize his potential!”

“The most successful and beneficial one?” Liu Jiangyan finished reading the contract in his hand and casually threw it on the table. His face was unreadable. “So, you are really sure that this Liu Jifei is talented?”

“Erm— I do humbly think so.” Liu Zhenan was a little ecstatic, but he also sensed a strange atmosphere. Why do I feel that Grandfather is actually referring to something else with his question?

“You really think so?” Liu Jiangyan slammed the table suddenly and he snorted coldly. “If Liu Jifei is a genius, then this Ming Yang Security Company would be a fool to have agreed to such a contract!”

“What?” Liu Zhenan was stunned on the spot and left puzzled with his grandfather’s words.

However, many of the Liu Family’s children and those who didn’t side with Liu Zhenan started to laugh secretly. Although they didn’t see the contents of the contract, they could infer that the old man Liu Jiangyan had found something wrong, and was consequently outraged!

Looks like there will be good fun after this. This Liu Zhenan seems to have shot himself in the foot!

Chapter 1584: I Can Prove It

“You call this a cooperation? Where did you get this contract from? Did you print this out yourself?” Liu Jiangyan was extremely smart. He felt that there was something wrong instantly after reading the contract. Although Liu Jiangyan was a businessman, he was an honest one. Otherwise, he couldn’t have developed the Jiangyan Group to such a large scale from nothing within just a few decades.

This contract was obviously problematic. Although Liu Jiangyan did not know under what circumstances the contract was signed, he was sure that the Ming Yang Security Company would be the world’s biggest fool if they had signed this contract!

Their investment was ten times more than the Jiangyan Group, but their shares were ten times less. Isn’t this foolish? Liu Jiangyan couldn’t believe that there wasn’t something wrong somewhere!

In Liu Jiangyan’s opinion, could it be that Liu Zhenan came up with this random contract just to please him and place his own man into the finance department? He was mad after thinking of this!

What do these people think of the Group? They don’t care even a little bit about the Group’s interests!

This was where Liu Zhenan had made a mistake. Although Liu Zhenan thought that he was smart, he was still a little too tender. He felt that when he came out with such a contract, the old man Liu Jiangyan would be happy and not have any other thoughts.  After all, who doesn’t want to gain more benefits for the company?

He didn’t think that the contract was too imbalanced to the extent that it was strange! And that the old man had mistaken him for committing the crime of forgery! However, this contract was a real contract! It was still a real contract although it was signed by Liu Jifei through some illegal means. Therefore, Liu Zhenan had failed to consider how the old man would think of this contract. In his opinion, since this contract was a real contract, he had nothing to be afraid of!

“Grandfather, this contract is absolutely genuine. There is no fraud at all!” Liu Zhenan was shocked. He realized that his grandfather had misunderstood him so he quickly explained, “If grandfather doesn’t believe it, I can show you the original copy!”

“And you have the original?” Liu Jiangyan was really disappointed with his grandson. The whole thing was unreasonable. No matter how he emphasized that it was true, Liu Jiangyan couldn’t believe it.

The cooperation between any companies must be based on mutual benefit. Otherwise, it couldn’t be called a cooperation! It’s apparent that this Ming Yang Security Company is not a fool. Why would they sign a contract that only a fool would sign?

So, when Liu Zhenan kept emphasizing that the contract was true under this absurd situation, how could Liu Jiangyan believe it?

“Grandfather, I can prove that brother is speaking the truth!” Just when Liu Zhenan was at a loss for words, Liu Huamei started to speak. Liu Huamei was the only favored grandchild among all.

“Oh?” Liu Jiangyan was stunned by Liu Huamei’s words. He never thought that his most promising granddaughter would side with Liu Zhenan at this time! Everyone knew that these two couldn’t get along. However, Liu Huamei’s advantage was that she was dedicated to the company. So if Liu Huamei openly supported Liu Zhenan at this time, could it be mean that this contract was actually legitimate?

Liu Zhenan’s jaw opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed into it! He never thought that Liu Huamei would speak for him at this time! Why is this? Does she not know that I have done all these actions to make things difficult for her? Why is she supporting me?

“Although I don’t know if Liu Jifei is a genius, I do know that this contract was indeed signed by Song Jiang’s Ming Yang Security Company,” Liu Huamei said. “However, it was signed under special circumstances! ”

“Signed under special circumstances? Huamei, what do you mean?” Liu Jiangyan finally knew why his dear granddaughter would appear to support Liu Zhenan. It turned out that she had discovered something wrong, and she was ready to raise it during the board of director’s meeting.

“There are rumors that there is a kind of incense that can make people lose their minds…” Liu Huamei spilled the beans slowly.

“Little sister! What are you talking about?” Liu Zhenan’s pupil narrowed sharply when Liu Huamei mentioned the word ‘incense’. He interrupted her, “We are having the board of director’s meeting now. Why are you saying nonsense?”

Liu Zhenan finally understood why his little sister who couldn’t get along with him would suddenly speak up for him! It turned out that she had some hidden cards against him! And he had almost fallen for it! Judging from her words, Liu Huamei knew what was going on. Did Xu Xiaobin actually reach out to her?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhenan was drenched in cold sweat. He scolded secretly, This stupid Xu Xiaobin, how dare he cause such troubles for me? I should have fired him in the first place so that he could not mess around again!

“Nonsense? I’m talking about how Liu Jifei signed the contract!” Liu Huamei glanced at Liu Zhenan, who was desperately angry, and said slowly.

“What’s the connection between signing a contract and incense?” Liu Zhenan said. “The time of the board is precious. Stop speaking all this nonsense. All you need to do is prove that the contract is legitimate!”

Liu Zhenan was really anxious and afraid. He was scared of his secrets being discovered. If grandfather knew the truth, he would not only be scolded but might also lose his position as the vice president.

“Zhenan, shut up. Listen to Huamei.” ​​Liu Jiangyan gave a cold Hmph, waved his hand, and glared at Liu Zhenan fiercely.

Liu Zhenan dared not have any objection despite how unwilling he was. He had no choice but to sit still with an angry face, and silently curse all of Xu Xiaobin’s ancestors.

“This kind of incense…” Liu Huamei told the entire process of what happened to Xu Xiaobin before the board of directors. She had an excellent memory and was superbly eloquent. Xu Xiaobin’s situation might not be appealing, but the whole thing became suspenseful through Liu Huamei’s presentation, giving people a desire to continue to explore.

“Incense?” Everyone present were doubtful about Liu Huamei’s words. Still, they had never heard about the use of incense as a method to sign a contract. They fell silent for a while and didn’t know what to say.

“Little sister, your story is not interesting at all!” Liu Zhenan saw the reactions from everyone present. He was secretly glad. As long as these people don’t buy her words, things will be easy! People won’t believe it when you mention incense, as you may not have any evidence! So, Liu Zhenan became confident “Although it sounds a bit suspenseful, isn’t this a bit too unrealistic?”

Those were doubtful nodded after hearing Liu Zhenan’s words. Indeed, although Liu Huamei had described it vividly, this story still sounded a bit surreal. It was hard for people to believe it as none of them had ever heard of it.

Even the old man Liu Jiangyan was lost in thought. His instincts told him that Liu Huamei would not lie to anyone, but she could hardly convince the crowd with just her words. So he said, “Huamei, can you provide us with evidence?”

“Yes!” Liu Huamei nodded. “I have a recording here to prove that the incense is a real thing, but it’s a bit vulgar, Grandpa, look–”

“Since there is evidence, let’s show it to everyone.” Liu Jiangyan commanded without hesitation. Liu Jiangyan didn’t even think about whether it was vulgar. As long as there is evidence, why would I care whether it’s vulgar or not?

Liu Huamei nodded. She manipulated the laptop in front of her and maximized the volume.

“—— Think about it. I will treat you good if you want to be my lover—”

There was a wretched sound coming from the laptop’s speakers. Liu Zhenan looked at Liu Huamei’s laptop in shock and disbelief. It’s impossible! I deleted that recording with my own hands! Why does Liu Huamei have it?

It’s impossible! Xu Xiaobin has no backup at all for the conversation. Where did Liu Huamei get the recording from? Unless… Xu Xiaobin kept a trump card against me? Liu Zhenan was furious. This stupid Xu Xiaobin, how dare he does this to me!

The recording was not long, and it was soon finished. The board of directors were all stunned. At last, the old man of the Liu Family broke the silence, “Huamei, who is the person in the recording? Where did it come from?”
