Because I simply love you - Chapter 443

Pei Yuan shook his head and burst into laughter. “You are finished, Liu Jinhai! There is nothing left for you! Your reputation is smeared. Your business is as good as finished.”

Jinhai raised his brow. “Do you really think that Mr. Food blogger or… CEO of Moon Corps, Pei Yuan?”

Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Jinhai chuckled. “What? Do you think that the Tangs didn’t tell me about you so I wouldn’t know? They said that Long Guozhi is the one behind it, and you also secretly pointed all the evidence to pin the blame on him. You thought that we would misunderstand him that he is handling everything from abroad.”

Jinhai shrugged. “But you forgot one important thing. Long Guozhi may have a motive for revenge, but he is not capable of pulling it off. If he were the CEO of Moon Corps, then his Long family business wouldn’t have to suffer and go bankrupt in the first place. Stealing deals from Liu Corps?” He laughed. “Impossible. They were begging us to save the Long business. Do you think he was in any position to attack us?”

Nana had to admit he had a point.

Jinhai said, “Bring him in.”

It felt as if there were only three of them, but a guard came out of nowhere. The door opened, and he pushed a man inside who was none other than Long Guozhi.

Nana was surprised to see him.

Wasn’t he abroad?

Pei Yuan silently glared at him, and Long Guozhi only averted his gaze from him.

Jinhai smiled. “Long Guozhi. Won’t you tell me that if you weren’t a part of all this, then why were you letting Jianyu and me astray? Why did you want to make us believe that you are pulling strings even though you were not? No innocent person wants to be blamed.”

“T-that…” Long Guozhi stuttered and anxiously fidgeted with his fingers.

Jinhai gave one signal, and the guard nodded. He punched him on the waist, making him widen his eyes. He coughed hard, clutching his stomach.

“I-I will tell you…”

Pei Yuan gritted his teeth.

“I got a message from an unknown number saying that you will probably investigate me. And I had to fuel *cough* that misunderstanding that I am behind the losses of Liu Corps. If I take the blame, then he assured me that I will still go unharmed, and he would give loads of money to start my new business.”

Nana pursed her lips and glared at Pei Yuan.

So disgusting!

“A-after many calls back and forth like that, I got to know that he is Pei Yuan and the CEO of Moon Corps. I got happy because if I got his backing, then I can once again revive my business and be rich again…”

Jinhai snickered. “Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.”

Pei Yuan sneered. “So, what? You cannot reject the fact that your Liu Corps is doomed. It is on the verge of bankruptcy already. Nobody wants to work with you anymore. Everybody ha lost their trust in Liu Corps.”

Nana was worried about that too. Day by day, Liu Corps was hitting a worse point than the last day. She knew Jinhai and Liu Hai were doing something in the background, and she only hoped that it worked.

“I will not be so sure of it.”

Jinhai gave a signal, and immediately the place swarmed with many Liu family guards. Pei Yuan frowned.

Then he froze as the guards pushed three more men inside.

Mr. Tan, Mr. Su, and Mr. Long.

Jinhai smiled again. “Hello to our esteemed board of directors and temporary CEO of Liu Corps.”

Mr. Su suddenly roared in anger. “Liu Jinhai! What is this! Is this any way to treat the board of directors! Your guards just barged in my home and dragged me out!”

Mr. Tan joined in too. “Yes! This is so rude and disrespectful! This is legitimate kidnapping!”

Mr. Long gritted his teeth. “Sir. I have only tried my best to fit in your shoes. Why are you doing this?”

Jinhai tilted his head. “Fit in my shoes? How? By letting all the deals go in favor of Moon Corps?”

They stiffened.

Mr. Su said, “What nonsense are you saying? Why would we do that? We work for Liu Corps?”

Jinhai said, “That is the question, isn’t it? Why would you betray Liu Corps? Why would your son suddenly joined the company and even became the department head? The same son who failed the interview and couldn’t join Liu Corps.”

Mr. Su sweated. “All baseless accusations! Yes, my son works there, but he cleared the interview by fair means!”

“The interview that you rigged? Sure. By the way. When Dad and I checked the accounts reports, what do you think we found?”

Everybody was silent.

Mr. Long said, “Of course all the reports of the deals Liu Corps had with other clients.”

“Isn’t it? There should be forty billion worth of profit registered, but why do I see only twenty-eight?”

They all exchanged nervous and horrified glances.

How is it possible? We had altered the accounts reports! There should be no discrepancy in them, so how did he find out about the missing money!

“Xin.”

Assistant Xin quickly came inside and said, “Sir. On investigation, I found that Mr. Su and Mr. Tan were embezzling money from Liu Corps to spend it on their own investments. Mr. Tan’s younger son’s small business saw a sudden growth in the capital that is unaccounted for. Out of nowhere, there was an investment of up to 10 billion.”

Mr. Tan panicked. “O-of course, it’s my own money!”

Xin ignored him and went on. “Mr. Su has brought a huge chunk of land, and this is the report that he is building a hotel under a different alias using Liu Corps money.”

Mr. Su paled. Impossible! How can he know this?

“Lies! All lies!”

Xin continued. “I have talked to the managers in charge of constructing the hotel, and they have confirmed that it is indeed Mr. Su. They said that Mr. Su wasn’t the name he used while contracting them.”

“Assistant Xin!”

Nana was getting shocks one after the other.

Jinhai’s hard-earned money was being stolen and used like this…

“Don’t you have any shame!?”

As a businesswoman herself, she knew how much sweat and tears needed to shed to earn even a single dollar. And here they were stealing billions of dollars!

“Liu Corps has treated all its employees fairly. How could you think of betraying Liu Corps!? It is not just Jinhai’s hard work. It is the work and effort that all the employees have put in to make Liu Corps go to the top. Every one of them has worked hard. Everyone has put in hours of work. You are not just stealing Jinhai’s money but of all the employees! It isn’t only Jinhai who is facing losses. It’s the whole company.”

Jinhai softly smiled and felt proud of his little wife.

Mr. Su said, “There is some misunderstanding Mrs. Liu. We would never betray Liu Corps! In fact it is Xin! Liu Jinhai. Don’t you know that Xin changed the proposal of a big client a few weeks back and changed the quotation? He claimed that our software worked perfectly!”

“But when we started working, a virus attacked it, and we lost all data. The client refused to listen to us.” Mr. Tan chimed in. “Why don’t you investigate him? We faced a serious crisis because of Xin’s decision. He didn’t even consult us before sending the final proposal.”

Xin glanced at them. “I did consult before sending out the proposal.”

Mr. Long said, “Don’t lie, Xin! You never discussed it with us!”

“I didn’t say I discussed with you. I already talked to Sir before sending the proposal.”

Everybody was dumbfounded.

“What? But how could you? Liu Jinhai wasn’t the CEO anymore.”

Xin smiled. “He is.”

Mr. Su and Mr. Tan were totally confused. “Are you drunk, Xin? In the board of directors meeting, we were the clear majority. That is why Long stepped up as the CEO.”

Pei Yuan was getting a bad feeling about all this. He was silently listening to them and had a nagging feeling that something was off.

Jinhai chuckled. “Who all voted?”

Mr. Su said, “Didn’t Mr. Liu Hai tell you? I, Mr. Tan, Mr. Lin, who was first in your favor, but then he voted with us and then Mr. Chao.”

Then they suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wait a minute. If he feels that we betrayed Liu Corps, then why isn’t Mr. Chao here?

“Wrong. Votes were always in the majority for me. Dad, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Mei, and…Mr. Chao.”

Silence.

Mr. Su and Mr. Tan’s faces had a silly and shell-shocked expression on them.

“What rubbish! Mr. Chao votes against you.”

“No. I did not.”

A voice came from behind them, and they saw Mr. Chao enter in a black business suit and white shirt.

“Liu Jinhai.” He smiled. “How is everything going?”

“In control.” Jinhai lazily said.

Nana tugged his arm. “He is…”

Jinhai smiled. “He is Mr. Chao, who is supposed to be on Pei Yuan’s side but actually is on mine.”
