Surprise! I'm pregnant with a rich heir
Chapter 141 Let them control us?
Zhang Hui nodded, "Yes, everyone thought so at the beginning, but today, Mr. Xi received a letter from several directors requesting a board meeting."
Now that it has exceeded one-third, a board meeting is imperative. Even if Xi Changhong disagrees, they can convene it directly, because the nominal president is now lying in the hospital, and Xi Changhong cannot truly represent Xi Xuanyao. At least in the minds of many people, he is not capable enough to be competent.
Ruan Yin's eyebrows sank. What was coming finally came. She raised her eyes and asked Zhang Hui, "When will the board of directors meet?"
Zhang Hui pointed three fingers at her, saw someone coming in, and immediately shut up and left.
That was three days later. Ruan Yin suppressed her brows and devoted herself to work. After get off work, she interviewed several people, but none of them were very qualified. Two of them could not come at the last minute, and the other two were late.
It was almost seven o'clock after the interview, and she went to the hospital again. The nurse saw her coming and quietly left the ward. Ruan Yin wiped Xi Xuanyao's hand with a towel and chatted as usual. When it came to the board of directors, her tone paused and she sighed, "You must have had a hard time in the past, right? You run such a big company by yourself, and you have to continue the work that you can't finish during the day at night."
"Shushu and Zhaozhao have become much whiter. Now they are like soft and sticky dumplings. They are so pretty. Do you want to see them?"
"It's a pity that they both fell asleep today and didn't come to hug you. If you don't wake up, you will miss a lot of their cute looks."
She poked Xi Xuanyao's cheek and asked, "Were you too tired before and slept so soundly that you didn't want to get up?"
"It's okay, you still have 158 days, think about it again."
Before leaving, she kissed Xi Xuanyao on the forehead and turned away.
Things at the company were getting worse and worse. A rumor spread from somewhere that Xi Xuanyao had become a vegetable and Huiheng would be taken over by Xi Changhong. Huiheng's stock price plummeted.
The directors became even more aggressive about this and expressed their dissatisfaction with Xi Changhong. They either did not attend the meetings or ignored him, asking him to come up with a solution to stabilize the stock price as soon as possible.
Xi Changhong raised his hand and wanted to call his mother to discuss countermeasures, but then he remembered that the doctor said that she had been overworked recently and her emotions could not be stimulated anymore, so he had to put down the phone.
Turning around, he asked Lu Xing, “What did Director Liu say?”
"I didn't answer the phone. I heard he went abroad for vacation," Lu Xing replied.
Old fox! Xi Changhong cursed in his heart. He was usually very enthusiastic when going out for fishing, but he backed down at the critical moment.
Just when he was getting annoyed, the phone rang. Xi Changhong suppressed his anger and answered the call. After listening to the call, his face turned black, but he had to suppress his temper and said, "We signed the contract before. If you breach the contract now, you have to pay the penalty."
Xi Changhong hung up the phone without knowing what the other party said. Seeing that the situation was about to erupt, Lu Xing quickly left tactfully.
Xi Changhong received several similar calls throughout the day, either about breach of contract or asking Huiheng to give up some profits, either explicitly or implicitly. He had never been so angry before, and he swept the things on the table to the ground, and the crackling sound made him even more annoyed.
Han Miaoyun came in from outside and saw the mess, and couldn't help but frowned, "Who provoked you?"
"What are you doing here?" Xi Changhong asked impatiently. He was in a bad mood and had no intention of coaxing her.
"I'll come to the company to check." Han Miaoyun certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say that she came to the company to supervise him. She stared at Ruan Yin and asked someone to clean up the things on the floor. She sat on the sofa and looked at the manicure she had just done and asked, "What's bothering you so much?"
Xi Changhong sat down in frustration, his shoulders slumped. He really had no one to talk to, so he could only talk to Han Miaoyun. He had relied on his mother and brother for the first half of his life, and on his son for the second half. It can be said that he had never worried about anything in his life, but he didn't expect this to happen when he was old. In more than a month, he had become visibly older, and there were many more white hairs on his head.
After hearing this, Han Miaoyun raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully: "If they want to leave, just leave and pay the penalty. There are countless suppliers out there waiting to cooperate with Huiheng." How could such a large group like Huiheng not be able to find suppliers? What a joke.
Well, it's useless to talk to her. Xi Changhong looked at Han Miaoyun speechlessly: "You said it lightly. Their liquidated damages are not even one tenth of Huiheng's investment. Their purpose is to force us to give up our profits. Besides, where can we find a suitable supplier in a short period of time? Who is willing to take over this business?"
Han Miaoyun's tone paused. She was in the same situation as Xi Changhong. She relied on her parents before getting married and on her son for the rest of her life. She knew nothing about business and all she knew how to do every day was illustration, drinking tea and doing beauty treatments.
"Then what should we do? Let them control us?" Han Miaoyun asked back.
"Of course not!" Xi Changhong scratched his hair. He thought more deeply than Han Miaoyun. Once this door was opened, it would be even more terrible if the people behind followed suit. Now they were in a dilemma.
Han Miaoyun didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, but she had a good family, so she said directly: "How about I ask my brother for help?"
Xi Changhong's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. He urged Han Miaoyun to make a call with his eyes. Han Miaoyun's eyes flashed with pride. You see, this family still depends on her.
She briefly explained the situation on the phone, but before she finished, her sister-in-law spoke softly and slowly, "Miaoyun, your brother is not feeling well and is in the hospital. If you have anything to say, wait until he is discharged."
There was a hang-up sound from the other end of the phone. Han Miaoyun looked at Xi Changhong in disbelief, "She hung up on me!"
"Okay, I'll think of other ways." Xi Changhong stopped Han Miaoyun from continuing to call. She clearly didn't want to get involved, so why bother to humiliate herself. Besides, her temper has never been good, and her sister-in-law has been irritated by her a lot. It would be strange if she could answer her call now.
Han Miaoyun called without giving up, but no one answered. She threw her phone on the sofa in anger, and seeing Xi Changhong lying on the sofa, she pushed him and said, "Hurry up and get up. There are a lot of things waiting for you. Do you still have time to lie here?"
Xi Changhong: “…” I don’t want to move. I’m too tired. I really want to go fishing, play with birds, or practice Tai Chi.
"Get up!" Han Miaoyun pulled him up, pushed him to the desk, and signaled him to work quickly. Don't think she doesn't know what Xi Changhong is thinking, fishing? Wishful thinking.
Xi Changhong glared at her angrily, and the next second he saw Lu Xing coming in with a pile of documents, "Mr. Xi, these are documents that need to be processed urgently, please take a look"
Xi Changhong took a deep breath, cleared his mind of thoughts about eating, drinking and having fun, resigned himself to his fate and got up to work honestly. While signing, he thought about the suppliers who had breached the contract.
Seeing him working hard, Han Miaoyun finally calmed down a bit. After Lu Xing left, she asked, "Did Ruan Yin do anything out of line in the company?"
"What's so extraordinary?" Xi Changhong stared at the words on the document with a look of deep resentment and asked subconsciously.
Han Miaoyun reminded in a low voice: "What else could it be? For example, who are you close to, or whether you have an unusual relationship with her." She had not seen her grandchildren since they left the hospital. She was too embarrassed to go to Xingyue Bay, and she disliked Ruan Yin even more. She had suggested bringing her grandchildren to the old house to take care of them, but her mother-in-law flatly refused.
Xi Changhong looked at her with a puzzled look, "What are you thinking about? She is working well, how can she have the time to spare? Don't look at her with tinted glasses all day long."
