Chapter 1952: Chapter 437: The Climax [Click, Wedding Candy Giveaway] (Part 2)
Thus, the harm was inflicted invisibly.
So, if certain people do not covet something, Huo Zun might be willing to give it directly.
However, if some people exhaust their efforts to seize something forcefully, then apologies must be made.
Isabella: "..."
The color drained from Isabella’s face, leaving her pale. She was trembling, trying to calm her emotions, yet unable to do so.
"Huo Zun."
Just the mention of Huo Zun evokes many thoughts.
But Huo Zun no longer wanted to listen.
...
The media’s flashlights flickered incessantly. Huo Zun curved his thin lips slightly, continuing, "Now, I’ll answer everyone’s second question: what do I want to say to Huo Si?"
The media, hearing Huo Zun’s words and seeing the man in his high and imposing form, knew he had major news to announce and promptly moved in with their microphones.
"As I just mentioned, Huo Si, who is only a manager in my group and not the owner, has already engaged in multiple acts that harm the company’s interests. Therefore, I will arrange for the judicial department to hold him criminally responsible according to law."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Hasn’t this criminal liability blown things out of proportion?
Everyone, full of curiosity, began snapping photos.
"Mr. Huo, how should we interpret your statement?"
Upon hearing the reporters, Huo Zun didn’t need to speak as his assistant had already sorted the documents from before and brought out the lawsuit.
"Friends from the media, please look here. During his management of company affairs, Huo Si displayed several instances of corruption and dishonesty. He also embezzled company finances. Moreover, he attempted recruitment theft from within the Huo Family."
After a pause, the assistant added, "What’s even more egregious is that Huo Si disregarded patients’ safety by forcibly promoting a semi-finished anticancer drug to market."
Media: "..."
Everyone was shocked.
With several charges at once, no one knew which one to report as more significant.
Nobody expected such a major bombshell at the end.
"Could you elaborate more, please?"
The assistant distributed the documents in hand and then said, "The above lists Huo Si’s illegal activities."
Huo Si: "..."
Isabella: "..."
Huo Si became slightly deranged, listening to the assistant’s words; he couldn’t help but reprimand angrily: "Do you have any evidence? Huo Zun, you... you don’t push too far. If there’s no evidence, I’ll arrange for a lawyer to sue you for defamation."
Hearing Huo Si’s audacious remark, Isabella, who had lost faith in him, scolded angrily.
"Huo Si, was the anticancer drug you released really a semi-finished product?"
"Grandma."
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
Huo Zun held Hua Nuan’s little hand, calmly sitting back, watching Huo Si and Isabella’s embarrassment with great derision.
...
The assistant continued according to the evidence Huo Zun had prepared.
"Friends from the media, please look at the first page. The first page is the remittance record showing that Huo Si arranged for the company’s finances to transfer his accounts to his personal account. This has been verified by a British Bank, the data is absolutely reliable. The funds reached Huo Si’s account, which he then squandered at casinos and large shopping malls. The second page is appended with Huo Si’s spending records."
Huo Zun was worried that Huo Si would claim all the funds were used for company work, so he blocked his escape route.
"Oh, I see."
"So clear, so professional."
"Are you kidding? Did you think Mr. Huo was taking this lightly? I always knew this Huo Si was unreliable..."
"Indeed."
Everyone muttered, quickly putting away the documents given by the assistant.
"As for the multiple instances of favoritism and malpractice by Huo Si during his management of company affairs, everyone please look at the third page of the document in your hand. After joining the company, Huo Si arranged for his relatives, friends, classmates’ friends, and others related to him to join without any assessment."
Huo Si: "..."
Huo Si originally thought that the Huo Family in Europe was his world, where he was free to do as he pleased, never expecting all his actions to be observed by the man.
Huo Si’s face turned extremely ugly, then he shouted sternly.
"Do you... have evidence I was recruiting theft?"
"Please don’t worry; Mr. Huo already prepared the evidence."
The assistant gave a formulaic smile, then took out a pre-prepared recording pen, and said.
"Here is the entire phone recording of Huo Si with Professor Wang Ming from the Huo Family laboratory. The recording clearly shows Huo Si instructing Wang Ming on the recruitment theft. The truth is clear to see."
After speaking, the assistant directly played the audio recording.
Hua Nuan smiled and then leaned close to Huo Zun’s ear, speaking softly.
"Should I be praised for this matter?"
Huo Zun looked at the little girl’s sparkling eyes, his thin lips curving slightly upwards, then he pursed his lips and said, "Indeed, my wife is excellent."
...
As the assistant played the complete phone recording, Huo Si and Isabella were left completely speechless.
Isabella looked at Huo Si with utter disappointment and scolded, "Huo Si, you are such a fool. How could you do this?"
Moreover, leaving such obvious evidence behind.
There’s simply no way to deny it.
Huo Si: "..."
"Impossible, impossible, how could you have the evidence?"
In complete disbelief, Huo Si kept saying, "I already received their employment applications. They are about to work in the United Kingdom, ready to bring Huo Zun down."
The assistant looked at the man’s lifeless appearance and "kindly" said.
"This is evidence prepared by the madam."
Upon hearing the word "madam," the media immediately started taking frantic pictures of Hua Nuan.
Hua Nuan responded with a sweet smile, but was not worried at all in her heart.
According to Huo Zun’s character, these photos simply won’t be released tomorrow.
Huo Zun surely wants to protect her well.
After all, she still has to go to Yuncheng University for school after the summer holidays.
Suddenly becoming a public figure would cause a lot of trouble with her studies.
...
At this point, it wasn’t just Isabella who slumped down; Huo Si followed suit.
Isabella looked at Hua Nuan with resentment, realizing earlier that this woman was not simple.
Sure enough, everything went wrong because of this woman.
"Well... the anticancer drug shows that patients’ clinical reactions are all very good, so... in this matter, I succeeded."
Huo Si made a final desperate attempt, unwilling to totally concede.
This time, the assistant didn’t need to speak; Huo Zun already started speaking.
"Sorry, but that’s not the case... All the anticancer drugs currently on the market in use are from the products developed by the Huo Family in Yuncheng City. The semi-finished products in Europe have not been put into use. Here are my usage documentation and approval documents."
Huo Zun motioned for the assistant to present the final documents to everyone, the implication was simple.
Huo Si’s... things simply couldn’t be shown.
He was just in a good mood and didn’t kick him out immediately.
"The new anticancer drug had already met the approval standards of America and the European Union a year ago, and the reason it wasn’t released for use was because of concerns it might be too potent. On my wife’s advice, honeysuckle was added to make the drug milder, with less resistance and dependency issues."
"As for the anticancer drug released by Huo Si, I arranged for the quality inspection department to send it for review, and it has already been rejected. All the hundred test mice used have died."
Huo Zun’s words were extremely stern. Huo Si and Isabella exchanged glances.
Isabella felt utterly hopeless.
This time, it appears to be completely irreparable.
