Guo Huining's expression didn't look good, but she could still hold on.
She sat in the oval meeting room of the Hong Corporation and looked at the shareholders and board members of the Hong Corporation in front of her, trying her best to control her slightly trembling hands.
Guo Huining leaned back against the chair and supported her sweaty body. She forced herself to calm down and said, "Madam Hong, I still need to investigate this matter before I know what happened. Please don't be impatient, and don't put all the blame on me. "
"You don't know what happened?" The chubby middle-aged woman sitting next to Madam Hong screamed. "Don't forget, you were the one who pushed for the Hong Corporation to go public overseas! You convinced the board of directors to agree to your plan! It was also you! You tricked everyone into giving you the original shares!
"You don't admit that it's your responsibility now?! When you got the shares, you didn't share your 'credit' with everyone! "
This middle-aged woman was Hong Ziqi's mother. Guo Huining didn't dare to contradict her future mother-in-law in public, but she also didn't want to let her shoulder such an important responsibility alone. But when she tried to defend herself, she realized that she didn't have many words to defend herself.
Old Madam Hong put on her presbyopic glasses and took out the report on how Guo Huining convinced the board of directors to agree to the overseas listing a year ago. She flipped to the most critical pages and glanced at them. Then, she threw the document in front of Guo Huining.
"Director Guo, look at this yourself. How did you convince the board of directors a year ago …
"The board of directors only agreed to your suggestion because of this report. We used a loss-making method to build up the brand of the electric scooter, occupy market share, and realize the overseas listing before turning the losses into profits.
"It was also at that shareholders' meeting that you were elected as a member of the board of directors, in charge of the Hong Corporation's overseas listing."
Madam Hong took off her presbyopic glasses and frowned at Guo Huining. "The electric scooter is a new thing. We old guys don't understand it, so we entrusted it to you. Plus, you were operating at a loss. Who would have thought that you would do something like this?! "
Actually, not many of the major shareholders on the board of directors would look at the financial reports carefully, let alone know that the company would keep losing money. None of them cared about the financial reports.
Besides, everyone was waiting to go public and sell their shares to make money. Who would care about the company's small dividends?
Cold sweat broke out on Guo Huining's forehead.
Back then, she had asked the board of directors for full authority so that it would be easier for her to play tricks. She didn't expect that now that something had happened, it would be her responsibility …
But how did this matter get discovered by others?
Guo Huining was nervous, but she could not figure it out.
Guo Huining pursed her lips and bit her chin tightly. After a while, she said, "Madam is right, but according to the board of directors' share distribution, even if I have to take responsibility, it won't be the main responsibility. The ones who will take full responsibility for the shareholders are the major shareholders. At most, I'm just a small shareholder. At most, it's an administrative fault. "
In other words, it was impossible to send her to court.
Old Madame Hong sneered, "So, you've prepared a move for yourself? Is it because you don't like us old fellows because we don't do anything and only take money? "
"I don't dare." After all, Guo Huining was an expert in law for many years. She nodded slightly. "I just want to make it clear that we are all in the same boat. If something really happens to the Hong Corporation this time, it's useless for you to hand me over alone. Everyone here has to bear their own legal responsibility. "
"Really?" Old Madame Hong was not scared. "Director Guo is directly related to this matter. I propose to remove Guo Huining from the position of director of the legal department, expel her from the board of directors, and cancel all the original shares allocated to her. At the same time, the company's legal department will file a civil lawsuit against Guo Huining for compensation."
Guo Huining's pupils suddenly shrank, and she cried out involuntarily, "Old Madame Hong! You can't do this! Ziqi won't agree! "
"I'm the largest shareholder of the company. I have the right to veto." Old Madame Hong twitched the corner of her mouth. "You reminded me. Your engagement with Ziqi will be canceled now!"
Guo Huining was so angry that her whole body trembled. She suddenly stood up from her seat and said angrily, "I don't agree! I don't agree! You can't remove me from my position like this! And you can't cancel the engagement just because you say so! "
"I've done this. If you don't agree, go to court and sue me." Old Madame Hong did not want to talk to her anymore. "Someone, throw her out. Nothing in the company is allowed to be taken away. Her authority is revoked immediately! "
"If she dares to step into any of the Hong Corporation's properties, call the police immediately!"
This meant that she had been given a restraining order.
The company's security guards quickly rushed in and, one on each side, grabbed Guo Huining's arms and forcefully dragged her out of the conference room.
Two female security guards pulled Guo Huining to the female restroom and searched her body. After confirming that she did not have anything related to the Hong Corporation on her, they let her out.
She was escorted downstairs by a few people from the staff elevator, and she was almost pushed out of the Hong Corporation's headquarters building.
The employees who were coming and going did not know what had happened. A few of them even ran up to her and asked fawningly, "Director Guo, what happened? Do you need my help? "
The female security guard at the side shouted angrily, "What Director Guo?! She has already been fired by the chairman! "
The employee was startled and immediately ran away.
Guo Huining broke free from the female security guard's hand and said with a sullen face, "Don't touch me! If you touch me again, I'll call the police! "
The female security guard unwillingly let go of her hand and shook her fist at her. "What are you so smug about?! Hurry up and get lost! Remember this, don't step into any of the Hong Corporation's businesses in the future! "
Guo Huining raised her head and sneered. "Do you think I care?! You should also remember this well. When that group of people invites me back, you should pack up your things and get ready to get lost! "
Guo Huining had been in the Hong Corporation for more than ten years, and the connections she had accumulated and the achievements she had made were all real. It was only this time that she had taken a shortcut in her eagerness to go public that she ended up with such an ending.
It was not that she did not regret it.
But in front of these lower-level employees, she would not say a single word, and she had to maintain her composure.
She glared at the Hong Corporation's headquarters building fiercely, then turned around and walked to the parking lot. She took out her phone and dialed Hong Ziqi's number. "Ziqi!"
Hong Ziqi had just received a call from his Old Madam, saying that his engagement with Guo Huining had been canceled.
Hong Ziqi was shocked, but before he could ask for details, Old Madam Hong had already hung up.
Hong Ziqi was in a hurry to call his mother when he realized that Guo Huining's call had come in. He hurriedly picked it up and asked, "Huining, what exactly happened? Why did Old Madam say that our wedding banquet was canceled?! "
"Ziqi!" Guo Huining heard this, and the tears that she had been holding back immediately flowed down. "Ziqi, listen to me, I was framed!"
"What exactly happened?" Hong Ziqi was very worried about her. "Where are you? I'll come and pick you up. "
Seeing that Hong Ziqi was still loyal to her, Guo Huining's mood became much better.
It did not matter if she lost other things, but as long as Hong Ziqi's heart was still with her, she would have a day to make a comeback.
"I'm in the parking lot of the Hong Corporation's headquarters." Guo Huining's voice was very weak. "I'm not feeling well now, I can't drive."
"Don't worry, I'll come and pick you up now!" Hong Ziqi immediately took the car key and went out the door.
He and Guo Huining had lived together for four to five years, and the Hong Family had bought the house for him. Originally, they had wanted to renovate it and use it as a wedding house, but Guo Huining kept saying that they would move back to the Hong Family's mansion after they got married. This small house could be used as a place for them to occasionally go out and spend time together.
Hong Ziqi agreed, but before they got married, Guo Huining could not live in the Hong Family's mansion, so the two of them lived together here.
He got into his car and had just started it when he heard his earphone ring. He picked up the call and saw that it was from Xue Jingjiang. He immediately asked, "Young Master Xue, why are you calling me?"
Xue Jingjiang heard his normal tone and sighed. "Young Master Hong, you haven't been online recently, have you?"
"Why would I be online?" Hong Ziqi said with a grin. "Is it because the games aren't fun, or the girls in the bars aren't pretty enough? Why would I spend my free time online? That's something only a penniless loser would do! "
"Pfft!" Xue Jingjiang scolded him. "Nothing good comes out of a filthy mouth! Your brother, I, like to go online! Don't like to play games! Don't like to go to bars to pick up girls! "
"I knew you didn't have to do this …" Hong Ziqi drove into the heavy traffic of the Imperial Capital and said proudly, "You're so handsome, and your family is rich and powerful, but you're an otaku who likes to surf the Internet!"
"Let me tell you, the difference between us rich men and poor men is that they only know how to support internet celebrities, but we're the ones who play with internet celebrities!"
Xue Jingjiang almost smashed his phone, but when he saw the headlines, he suppressed his anger and said, "You don't go online, so you don't know what happened to the Hong Corporation, right? Also, you broke off your engagement with Guo Huining? She was fired by the Hong Corporation? "
Hong Ziqi's expression changed. "Fired?! How did you know?! What happened to the Hong Corporation?! "
"That's what you get for not going online! That's what you get for being an internet celebrity! " Xue Jingjiang glanced at his phone in disdain. "Your electric car is in trouble. The electric car manufacturer, Fu, that you infringed on, has already submitted a complaint to the court."
Hong Ziqi instantly understood.
The Hong Corporation's electric car project was single-handedly operated by Guo Huining!
No wonder the Elder Master had personally called to tell him that he had broken off his engagement with Guo Huining. No wonder Guo Huining's tone was so strange just now!
Hong Ziqi hurriedly stopped his car by the roadside and took out his phone to search for the news. It immediately led to Weibo.
Eight of the top ten trending topics on Weibo were related to the Hong Corporation and Guo Huining!
Especially the decision made by the Hong Corporation's board of directors to fire Guo Huining. It was already trending!
And the news of Hong Ziqi and Guo Huining breaking off their engagement was also trending under the hashtag # Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, they fly apart when disaster strikes #.
Such a big thing actually happened!
Hong Ziqi slammed his foot on the accelerator and sped towards the Hong Corporation's headquarters.
After parking the car in the parking lot, he rushed into the elevator without even looking at Guo Huining, who was standing at the side, and went up to the oval meeting room on the top floor.
Guo Huining watched Hong Ziqi's back view as he left without a care in the world, and her heart sank to the bottom.
