Chapter 364 Endless Arguments
“Okay.”
After Cheng Tang agreed, she did not delay any longer. She immediately turned around and prepared to leave the house. Unexpectedly, just as she turned around and was about to leave, she was stopped by the old man. “Tang’er, how’s the matter that I instructed you to do a few days ago?”
Cheng Tang lowered her eyes and pondered quietly for a moment before explaining softly, “Grandfather, the matter is getting more and more tricky. Recently, it even attracted the attention of the higher-ups in Beijing. It’s not good for our people to take action on a large
scale.”
The old man nodded. As if he had already predicted the current situation, he said in a low voice, “Alright, if it’s not easy to take action in Beijing, go to the surrounding small cities to take a look. Don’t delay the important matter!”
Cheng Tang nodded in agreement and left the Cheng family.
In the CEO office of the Huo Corporation.
Huo Tao was operating the computer on his desk and constantly sending people to buy the Kang family’s business. Chen Man stood on the other side of the office and was surrounded by the other families of the Huo family.
Huo Tao had not slept the entire night and had been busy acquiring the Kang family’s business. Chen Man had also taken care of Mo Zhu the entire night. She finally had time for a few hours of rest in the morning. However, now that she heard that someone was causing trouble here, in order to help Huo Tao, she did not sleep or rest and rushed straight to the company to deal with these matters.
Seeing that Huo Tao was focused on targeting the Kang family’s companies and industries, the relatives of the other Huo families started shouting in front of Chen Man.
“Sister-in-law, quickly persuade Brother. It hasn’t been easy for the Huo family to develop to where we are today. We can’t risk all our efforts for a small personal grudge!”
“That’s right, sister-in-law. Although Eldest Brother is the nominal successor of the Huo family that the old master has appointed, your family can’t ignore the lives of the other families. By doing this today, Eldest Brother is clearly trying to make the Huo family fall out with the Kang family. If the Kang family takes revenge, how are we going to live!”
When they heard that someone was involved in their own interests, in order to persuade Huo Tao to stop, everyone started to tug at Chen Man’s sleeve and shout.
“That’s right, that’s right. Sister-in-law, I heard that a while ago, the branch company that Xuan’er opened in Cloud City was hacked and a lot of important information about the corporation was stolen. The Huo family lost a lot of money those days. Now, Big Brother is using the remaining liquid funds to buy the Kang family. It’s obvious that he doesn’t care about the lives of the others in the Huo family!”
“Sister-in-law, don’t stop us. Brother has to give us an explanation today. No matter what, we’re still a part of the Huo family. We can’t watch such a big family be destroyed in Brother’s hands!”
The few people in front of her tugged at Chen Man’s sleeve, their faces red with anxiety. They wished they could rush to Huo Tao’s desk and force the man to give them a reasonable explanation.
Chen Man stood near the door and looked at the Huo family’s relatives calmly. She calmly raised her hand and called two security guards over.
She ordered the few of them to set up the cordon in a low voice and sent Huo Tao’s special assistant to bring a set of tables and chairs over for her. She sat down on the chair very calmly and slowly brewed a pot of tea for herself. “Everyone, don’t be anxious. If you’re all fighting to speak, I only have a pair of ears, I can’t hear all of you.”
Everyone was shocked by Chen Man’s actions. They did not expect her to drink tea leisurely in the office when they were so anxious!
Considering the current situation and Chen Man’s background, the other branches of the Huo family did not dare to be really angry at Chen Man. Everyone looked at each other for a long time and pushed Huo Peng as the substitute.
Huo Peng took two steps forward cautiously and scratched his head awkwardly. He pretended to be righteous and looked at Chen Man as he said, “Sister-in-law, don’t blame us for not giving you and brother face in our hurry. This matter is really your family’s fault. Don’t you think so? After all, everyone is telling the truth. We really shouldn’t risk the fate and future of the entire family because of a small personal grudge, right?”
