Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C200
Chapter 200 – Energetic Tide
Just when it was difficult for Chen Shu to get down from Xiang Group, Tao Chu Liang was busy handling matters that had not been settled for the past two days. Although it was called handling affairs, it was actually just a blank stare.
The reports about Xiang Chen Xi flooded in from all directions these two days. Many of the reports were ugly to hear, some even took the title of Xiang Group’s CEO’s nude photos as the headline. Every time Tao Chu Liang saw such an eye-catching title, he would immediately tear the newspaper into pieces.
Xiang Group was not well off, it was not much better. However, the public all viewed Tao Chu Liang as a weakling, and thought that he was the third in power. After all, before this matter was exposed, Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang had already spread the news of their marriage.
So many media outlets had also blocked the Taur Group office building, wanting to hear Tao Chu Liang’s opinion on this matter. But Tao Chu Liang did not have the heart to take care of these people, her mind was full of questions. She still remembered that right before the incident, she and Chen Xi went to take a wedding photo. Before they left, Chen Xi told her to wait for him.
She really couldn’t understand why Chen Xi would betray her, and she didn’t believe him either. It was just that the evidence was in front of her and she had no choice but to believe it. Furthermore, if there really was a misunderstanding, why didn’t Chen Xi come and explain it to her? This could only mean that Chen Xi was hiding from her!
Tao Chu Liang felt his heart was in a mess, what exactly was going on? If he knew earlier, he wouldn’t have let Chen Xi attend some birthday banquet!
Tao Chu Liang stood in front of the window, he was in the group, but his heart was beating faster.
Qiao Qing Hao walked into the office and sighed in his heart when he saw Tao Chu Liang’s appearance. Tao Chu Liang had been standing in front of this window for the entire day!
“Chu Liang, eat something, the company still has so many things to take care of, we can’t let ourselves get sick right now.” Qiao Qing Hao placed the dessert he had bought on the table.
Tao Chu Liang turned around and said blankly: “Qing Hao, do you think that Chen Xi will betray me?”
Qiao Qing Hao was startled, but somehow, his answer turned out to be: “Honestly, I don’t believe it. Chu Liang, have you ever thought that he might just be a victim?”
Tao Chu Liang turned his head to look at him and a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart.
Tao Chu Liang wholeheartedly wanted to be with Xiang Chen Xi, but she couldn’t stand Chen Xi being together with his.
“Are you saying that Li Li was the one to throw dirty water on Chen Xi? But if this matter gets out, her reputation will suffer as well! ” This was the thing that Tao Chu Liang couldn’t figure out the most.
Qiao Qing Hao’s eyes turned cold, “That’s right, she would rather damage his own reputation than separate you from Xiang Chen Xi! It’s really vicious! ”
“Chu Liang, if I guessed right, maybe he feels that he can’t face you anymore!” Qiao Qing Hao revealed the truth with a single sentence.
Tao Chu Liang’s heart trembled. She tried imagining it again. He couldn’t even do it himself, and now that a crack had formed in his heart, how was he going to repair the scar? But did Chen Xi really think that escaping would solve the problem?
Qiao Qing Hao saw that Tao Chu Liang’s face was changing constantly, but he still felt a little sour in his heart. There was no doubt that she still loved him so much after what had happened.
“Chu Liang, if you really still want to give Xiang Chen Xi a chance, maybe, you should go to Xiang Group right now. His company is already in chaos! ” Qiao Qing Hao hesitated for a long time, but still spoke out everything that had happened.
“What did you say?” What’s a mess? ” Tao Chu Liang asked.
Qiao Qing Hao continued to speak: “The market value of their group has been declining continuously for the past few days, the group members have all been on strike, the people who have left have all left their jobs, the current shareholders have all reached the company and are clamoring to withdraw their shares! Furthermore, I heard that Xiang Shi Yun is very sick, and the only person left in Xiang Group is the one who doesn’t have any prestige! ”
Tao Chu Liang was extremely shocked, “Grandfather is seriously ill? How could I not know about this at all! ”
“Something big has happened to Xiang Chen Xi, if Xiang Shi Yun is not angry, it would be impossible, and this matter, I’m afraid it has something to do with Li Li.”
“Qing Hao, come with me! That is Chen Xi’s company, I cannot just watch as his company is destroyed! ” Chu Liang immediately put on his jacket and walked out. When he went missing, it was all thanks to Chen Xi taking care of his own company. Otherwise, the company his parents left him would have disappeared a long time ago.
Let’s not talk about the truth of the matter between him and Li Li now. Just based on the matter with his group, she couldn’t sit idly by and do nothing!
Qiao Qing Hao had already prepared the car, and the two of them immediately left the underground parking lot, avoiding the reporters who were gathered at the entrance of the Group Building. Like a bolt of lightning, he rushed towards Xiang Group.
Xiang Group, Conference Room.
Chen Shu looked at these overbearing shareholders, and was so anxious that she was about to cry. If these people were to withdraw their shares, the company would be completely empty. If they were to take away the assets of the company, what would happen to the salaries of the company’s employees? What about running projects?
“Are you people? Do you know how much the group will lose if we withdraw our shares at this time? Moreover, the contract clearly stated that you are going to compensate for the breach of contract by resigning your stocks! ” Sheng Jue could not bear to see this, seeing how Chen Shu was only a woman, facing such a group of troublesome shareholders, made her heart ache.
“So be it!” Isn’t it just a breach of contract fee! I’ll compensate you! ”
“Exactly, we will compensate you!” “You can withdraw your stocks after paying off the compensation, right?” Everyone agreed.
Sheng Jue was extremely furious. He should have long thought that these people had been in the Xiang Group for so many years, how could they not have any money! Now that they had paid the penalty, they no longer needed to share the losses of the corporation in the future. This plan was too good!
“The corporation doesn’t want your penalty fee, as long as you stay!” A sonorous and forceful voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
Sheng Jue and Chen Shu turned around, it was Chu Liang!
“Chu Liang! “Why are you here?” Chen Shu was both surprised and happy to see Chu Liang.
“I heard that someone was going to add insult to injury, so I came here to take a look!” Tao Chu Liang nodded at Chen Shu and then turned to speak to the other people.
One of the shareholders had a sullen face as he said, “Miss Tao, aren’t your words too unpleasant to listen to! Moreover, when did the time for you, the outsider Taur Group, to intervene in the matters of our group? ”
“I am Chen Xi’s fiancee, who says I am an outsider? Do I sound bad? When the group’s profits double, why don’t you refund your shares? When Grandfather and Chen Xi were in charge of the group, why didn’t the two of you withdraw your shares? “Why is it that the group’s market value is only temporarily down and you are going to have to withdraw your shares?” Tao Chu Liang said it out one by one, making all the people present speechless for a moment.
“I am not Chen Shu. She did not put things this harshly because you two have been grandfather’s partners for so many years. However, I have yet to enter the Xiang Family. Therefore, I am truly sorry for wanting me to be as courteous as her. I cannot do it! I am also the top manager of a group, and I know the pros and cons. With me here, none of you should even think of withdrawing your shares! If you want to withdraw your shares, the only way is for the group to unilaterally terminate your contract, and not for you to make a fuss about it! ” At this moment, Tao Chu Liang no longer had the usual gentle look on his face. Sheng Jue and Chen Shu looked at her, not daring to believe their eyes in the slightest.
“What right do you have to say all this? What do you mean we can’t withdraw our shares! ” a shareholder said, unconvinced.
Tao Chu Liang looked at him coldly, and said word by word, “Qualification? Because I am about to become the largest shareholder in the Xiang Group! Do you feel that I have the qualifications to do so? ”
The shareholders immediately went into an uproar, as they did not understand what she meant.
“Qing Hao.” Tao Chu Liang called out, Qing Hao walked out with a contract in hand.
Qiao Qing Hao looked at the shareholders with disdain and explained to the crowd: “We, the CEO Tao have decided to merge the group into the name of the Xiang Group. With the assets of the Taur Group, we will become the biggest investor in the Xiang Group! As long as the representative of the Xiang Group signs the contract, it will take effect immediately! ”
Tao Chu Liang took the contract and personally handed it over to Chen Shu, then said gently: “Elder sister, only you can make the decision in the group now, please sign it.”
Chen Shu looked at the contract dumbfoundedly, not knowing what to do.
“Without Chen Xi, Taur Group would have disappeared a long time ago. Since the Xiang Family is in trouble now, I’m only doing what I think is worth it. Elder sister, don’t hesitate, just sign it! ”
On the way here, Tao Chu Liang had already thought about it, now that Xiang Group had a public relations crisis, and even had changes in personnel, only by introducing a large amount of funds would he be able to solve his current urgent problems.
Once the Taur Group acquired a share, it would mean that they would be investing a lot of money. The Xiang Group would be able to turn the loss into gain in a short time, maybe she could get out of this crisis. Tao Chu Liang thought about it carefully, these people who owned these stocks became even clearer. Right now, under Tao Chu Liang’s management, the brand of the Taur Group was getting better and better.
“It’s easy for a person to forget someone who laughed with him, but certainly not someone who cried with him. This is like the relationship between the Group and all of your shareholders. If Xiang Group is able to survive through this crisis, you will be considered the meritorious ministers of the Group! ”
“I believe that grandpa will also thank you for your support today. You are all old people in the group, what great storm have you not seen before? All you have to do is to have a little trouble and you want to withdraw your stock. I understand your feelings, but the Group needs you right now. We, Chen Shu, and I, as the younger generation, beg you to stay! ”
Tao Chu Liang first intimidated everyone, and then acted according to reason. She resolutely said, “I have a way to let this group pass through this crisis!”
Upon hearing her words, the hesitating shareholders abruptly turned to look at her.
