Chapter 1939: Chapter 432: My Husband Is Truly Impressive (Part 2)
Huo Zun’s words were full of deep meaning, as cold as ice, and his entire being exuded a cold charm that sent chills down one’s spine.
Hua Nuan heard this, her lips curling up slightly, and after simply learning the basic information about Director Cheng from her assistant, she whispered.
"Director Cheng, why do I get the feeling that you seem quite opinionated."
Both Huo Zun and Hua Nuan attacked simultaneously, making Director Cheng’s face look a bit unpleasant, and he unnaturally replied.
"Of course not, I wouldn’t dare... I wouldn’t dare."
"Then it’s hard to tell if Director Cheng is sincere or insincere. By the way, Director Cheng, as far as I know, apart from the ten million dollars in shares you receive annually, you have additional assets worth up to tens of millions of Euros in circulation. These assets, does Madam Cheng know about them... or maybe, do these gentlemen present know about them? I wonder where you got the money from, Director Cheng."
After a pause, Hua Nuan successfully saw Director Cheng’s face change, and the smile on her lips curled up even more.
"I’m young, so I don’t quite understand some things. Suddenly having so much money without any reason, wow... could it be embezzlement or bribery?"
After speaking, Hua Nuan blinked her phoenix eyes, looking innocent and extremely cute.
Huo Zun watched the little girl play the fool with expertise, his thin lips curling up slightly.
He loved this side of the little girl very much.
"You..."
Director Cheng was speechless, unable to find words to refute what Hua Nuan said.
The others murmured among themselves.
"You’re talking nonsense."
"Oh, how could I be talking nonsense? I have evidence here, Director Cheng. If you make any more noise, I’ll bring out the evidence. After all, it’s just the matter of European Bank transactions, very simple."
Director Cheng: "..."
The assistant secretly admired Hua Nuan’s memory. He had only introduced the woman briefly just now, whispering very quietly, yet Hua Nuan had remembered it all.
How impressive.
"Since Director Cheng has no questions, do the other directors have any questions?"
Hua Nuan asked with a smile, holding Huo Zun’s arm.
The other directors, due to Director Cheng’s setback, could not muster anything to say, so they could only laugh awkwardly.
An awkward laugh was almost an acquiescence. Hua Nuan and Huo Zun exchanged a knowing glance, everything unspoken, and the two sat down together, as did the other directors.
Since Huo Zun was chairing the meeting, Hua Nuan sat quietly, no longer speaking.
Hua Nuan lightly pulled the corner of her lips, quietly immersing herself in the materials the assistant provided, getting to know the shareholders present.
After everyone had taken their seats, Huo Zun raised the list that the assistant had given him earlier.
"The list in this document contains the directors who convened a board meeting without my consent and approval. This month’s dividends are canceled."
Huo Zun’s words were forceful and unquestionable.
Everyone’s faces changed slightly.
But due to Hua Nuan’s previous counterattack, everyone could only stew silently, not daring to say much.
"If there are no other questions, the board meeting will continue. If anyone has any questions, they can raise them now."
Huo Zun’s words were cold, his aura powerful and imposing.
Everyone glanced at each other, not knowing what to say, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Director Cheng couldn’t sit still. Having just embarrassed himself in front of everyone, he had to regain face somehow.
"Mr. Huo, regarding your previous proposal to withdraw shares, I have thought it over carefully and have a question for you."
"Hmm, please ask."
"Just today, right now, Huo Si has launched a new anticancer drug, what is your opinion?"
"I didn’t realize Director Cheng had potential as a reporter, even the questions you ask are so high-level."
Huo Zun’s thin lips curled up slightly, and then he, with narrowed blue eyes, casually spoke.
"As I answered the reporters before, maybe see it on a phone, or on a tablet, sitting and watching the news... see, otherwise how can you see it?"
Huo Zun’s rhetorical question left Director Cheng’s expression a bit hard to maintain.
"Mr. Huo, we are all shareholders of the Huo Family. Can you be so perfunctory with us?"
"Sorry, I’m just speaking based on facts. The shareholders of the Huo Family do not have decision-making power, only the year’s end dividends. According to the original agreement, I only need to fulfill the year-end dividend to you all, without the need to inform you of the company’s latest policies, so I... am following the rules."
Huo Zun maintained his composure, his gaze icy cold.
Director Cheng and others looked at each other, seemingly pondering the deeper meaning in the man’s words.
After a while, others couldn’t sit still either.
"Mr. Huo, if this is your attitude, I’m afraid we won’t be able to collaborate with the Huo Family anymore. After all, people strive for higher goals, water flows downwards. We must consider our own interests."
Huo Zun’s lips curled up in a faint sneer, casually tapping his tabletop with his long fingers, then nodding.
"Hmm."
After a pause, Huo Zun asked back, "So, are you planning to withdraw your investment?"
"Yes..."
"I understand. The Huo Family’s current capital chain isn’t great, so if you don’t want us to withdraw, it’s possible. But we need to see Mr. Huo’s sincerity; you hold a 51% controlling interest. I think you might need to hand over some of your shares?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
That’s really hilarious.
Clearly, Huo Zun had long been displeased with these people who bite the hand that feeds them, wishing they would leave as soon as possible.
How could he possibly release shares to keep them?
Hua Nuan pulled the corner of her mouth...
Director Cheng and his group, truly not good characters.
Each one with ill intentions.
Hua Nuan’s eyes turned cold, it seemed they wanted to hit him when he’s down, to use coercion and temptation.
"Mr. Huo, with all due respect, with Huo Si launching the anticancer drug, your status today is precarious. It is no longer a world where you reign supreme."
"If you truly don’t understand human relationships, I’ve been in the Huo Family for many years and have met many friends. If you instantly compensate us with cash for our shares, you’re seeking your own death."
Huo Zun’s lips curled up slightly, then he raised his eyebrow.
"So you’re saying... you’re threatening me?"
Huo Zun’s words were like ice, carrying an intimidating force that was hard to ignore.
Director Cheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles under the man’s icy gaze; negotiating with Huo Zun was undoubtedly asking for trouble.
Director Cheng was now trying to bolster his own courage.
Humph, no matter how formidable Huo Zun was, he was just a man, not a god.
"I wouldn’t dare... I’m just clarifying the situation with Mr. Huo on behalf of the other directors."
Huo Zun’s lips curled into a cold smile, his gaze sweeping over the seated directors, lips twitching slightly.
"Besides Director Cheng and those with him, I wonder how everyone else is thinking. If anyone has similar thoughts, they can speak with me now, won’t wait forever."
Huo Zun was keen to see how many unproductive old fellows he had raised.
It was time to clear them out.
Those harboring ulterior motives had flickering eyes, while those with single-minded loyalty lowered their gaze, eyes firm.
After all, those with a bit of vision could see Huo Zun’s capabilities.
As everyone hesitated, Director Cheng was the first to speak.
"Humph, since Mr. Huo has said so, then I will withdraw my shares. The combined shares of a few of us amount to something, you’ll have to fork out billions..."
"Humph, does the Huo Family currently have enough turnover funds? If you wish to keep me, I..."
"Issue a check for him and escort him to sign the contract."
Before Director Cheng could finish, Huo Zun had already spoken first.
Everyone’s hearts pounded fiercely again.
Such boldness.
