1877 Words
However, the cheers did not last long. When these people saw Su Qinglan's gloomy face and the cold eyes of the group of big shots behind her, they felt that something was wrong. Su Corporation's higher-ups gathered in Su Guofu's office. "Bang!" Su Guofu's office door was kicked open. Su Qinglan walked in with Gu Corporation's people. "Qinglan, what are you doing?" When Su Guofu saw Su Qinglan's cold expression, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly got up and walked towards Su Qinglan. Su Qinglan glanced at Su Guofu. "Bang!" She threw the document in her hand onto the coffee table in front of her. "Su Guofu, you keep your promise just like this? Please give me an explanation." Explanation? Su Guofu was dumbfounded. What explanation? Su Guofu picked up the document that Su Qinglan threw on the coffee table. He flipped through it carefully. The more he read, the uglier his expression became. "Is this your answer to the trust of Gu Corporation and me?" "This." Su Guofu said in a woebegone look, "I don't know about this at all." "You don't know about this?" Su Qinglan sneered, "This is a phenomenon caused by your Su Corporation's lack of supervision. Li Hao embezzled the company's assets. He actually used inferior materials to replace high-quality materials. You are being irresponsible for us and the consumers! Now President Gu has decided to withdraw investment!" Withdraw investment. The two words made Su Guofu fall on the office chair behind him. If Gu Corporation withdrew investment, Su Corporation would definitely go bankrupt. "No! You can't withdraw your investment!" Su Guofu got up and came to Su Qinglan. He held Su Qinglan's hand tightly and begged, "Qinglan, my good daughter, you are Gu Jinchi's wife. Can you please help me beg him and ask him to help me get through this crisis?" "Help you, and then cause Gu Corporation to collapse?" Su Qinglan slapped away Su Guofu's hand that held hers. "Do you really think President Gu is doing charity?" "There is still room for redemption for this matter. As long as the testing result has not been announced, there is still room for improvement. We will make rectification immediately!" Su Guofu seemed to have thought of something and became excited. A hint of ridicule flashed across Su Qinglan's eyes. She had come prepared this time. Before she came, she had already announced this matter through her channels. The news might have widely spread already. Just as Su Qinglan was thinking about this, Su Guofu's secretary rushed in, looking flustered and helpless. "Boss Su, something bad has happened. The news has exposed our products. They said that we used inferior products to deceive consumers." As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Su Guofu's phone and the secretary's phone rang at almost the same time. They picked up the phone in a panic. Every time he answered a phone call, Su Guofu's face would turn uglier and paler. After the secretary answered a phone call, he almost sat down on the ground. "B-Boss Su..." His eyes were dull and his hands were trembling. His face was extremely pale and he said in despair, "Almost all the consumers who booked the phones online have cancelled their bookings, which has even affected our original foundation products. They all say that we are doing a jerry-built project." Everything was over. The secretary closed his eyes. Su Guofu gritted his teeth and was about to kneel down to Su Qinglan. "Qinglan, only you can help Su Corporation now. I am begging you. Please plead with President Gu to give me a chance. Don't withdraw investment!" Su Qinglan took a step sideways to avoid Su Guofu's kneeling. Su Qinglan took out another document from her briefcase and handed it to Su Guofu. "Can you explain this to me? Didn't you say that you divorced Liang Yue and drove her out of the house? "Why were you so eager to remarry her two days after you divorced? Is this the way you kept your promise?" Su Guofu lowered his head. "I lied to you about the fake divorce, but I also have my own difficulties. Your aunt is pregnant with your brother. I can't drive her out of the house and let your brother have no father, right? Qinglan, I know you have always been kind and..." "Because I'm kind, I deserve to be bullied by you? In addition, only the one who was born by my mother would be my brother. I will not accept the one she gives birth to for you. Don't talk nonsense." Su Qinglan scoffed at Su Guofu's words. "The cooperation between Gu Corporation and Su Corporation has been terminated." As Su Qinglan said this, she took out her phone and showed Su Guofu the announcement that Gu Corporation had just made. Su Guofu collapsed to the ground. Then, Su Guofu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "This is a breach of contract! You have to pay the penalty!" Generally, the penalty was three times more than the investment. If Gu Corporation broke the contract this time, he could receive 20 billion yuan as compensation. This money would revive the entire Su Corporation. "Penalty?" Su Qinglan seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed, "When you signed the contract, you definitely didn't take a good look at the details of the contract. Now, I'll have to trouble you to see how much the penalty is." Su Guofu hurriedly got up, while his secretary hurriedly went to the filing cabinet on the side to get Gu Corporation's contract and flipped to the page of the penalty fee. When he saw the sum of the penalty fee, his face turned pale. The penalty fee was 20,000 yuan. With a sullen face, he handed the contract to Su Guofu. "Boss Su, look!" When Su Guofu, who had just stood up, saw the penalty fee, his face was twisted. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He came in front of Su Qinglan and shouted at her, "Su Qinglan, you tricked me!" "The term has been written clearly on this paper. You signed the contract. How could you say I tricked you? The purpose of my visit today is to tell you that our Gu Corporation will withdraw investment in Su Corporation." With that, Su Qinglan looked at An Nian. An Nian put the documents about the withdrawal of investment that Su Qinglan had already printed out on Su Guofu's desk. Then, Su Qinglan left with her people. The entire Su Corporation was immersed in frustration. Not long after Su Qinglan left, Su Cheng, who had just finished a business deal, returned to the company. When she saw the dejected expressions of the company employees, she asked and knew what had happened. She hurriedly rushed to the president's office. Seeing Su Guofu sitting on the ground, Su Cheng hurriedly ran over and helped him up. "Dad, what happened to you?" After Su Guofu complained to Su Cheng sullenly, she completely understood what had happened. Su Cheng gritted her teeth. "This is clearly Su Qinglan's trick. Maybe she already knew all of this. Otherwise, why would the penalty fee be so little?" Just as Su Cheng said this, the police came and took Li Hao away in the name of a commercial crime. This hit Su Guofu even more. After the police left, Su Cheng's eyes were filled with tears and she came to Su Guofu's side. "Dad, since Su Qinglan is heartless, we will be ruthless. Do you still remember that old woman in the countryside? That old woman has always loved Liang Qin and Su Qinglan, and Su Qinglan has a deep relationship with that old woman. If we kidnap that old woman, I bet Su Qinglan won't dare to withdraw investment!" Su Guofu naturally knew whom Su Cheng was talking about. It was Su Qinglan and Su Cheng's maternal grandmother. "This... k********g is against the law! Doing this..." "Dad, why are you still thinking about this? If you continue to hesitate, our Su Corporation will really be over." Su Cheng stomped her feet and glared at Su Guofu with disappointment. Su Guofu gritted his teeth, his expression fierce. But after a while, he hesitated again. That was his mother-in-law. If the news was spread, everyone would point fingers at him. At that time, who would dare to cooperate with Su Corporation? Seeing Su Guofu's cowardly appearance, Su Cheng gritted her teeth and stomped her foot. "Dad, if you don't dare, leave it to me. I will kidnap that old woman!" When Su Guofu heard Su Cheng's words, he was shocked. He really didn't expect that his daughter was so cruel. She was going to kidnap her grandmother. Seeing Su Guofu's shocked gaze, Su Cheng was furious. Her father wanted all the good things for himself. She really felt disappointed with him. If her father could be a little more ruthless, she didn't have to kidnap that old woman herself. "Thank you, my dear daughter, for doing that." When Su Guofu saw his daughter's disgusted expression, he awkwardly rubbed his head and said to Su Cheng. Su Cheng's face tightened. She left the company and drove to the countryside. Su Qinglan returned to her office and began to get busy. Su Corporation's Li Hao had already been arrested, and because of the fermentation of the matter, Su Corporation's stock price dropped sharply. All the investors who had participated in the project before also began to withdraw their investment. The entire Su Corporation was going to collapse. But this was not enough. If she wanted to destroy Su Corporation, she needed to put in more effort. Su Qinglan pursed her lips. At that moment, her cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Su Guofu, she hung up without thinking. However, Su Guofu kept calling her. She continued to hang up and blacklisted him. Now she did not want to see Su Guofu or hear his voice. Suddenly, she received a message on WeChat. Su Qinglan, who was holding her phone, looked down and saw that it was from Su Guofu. She read the message. It was a picture of her grandmother. Su Qinglan's heart skipped a beat. What exactly did Su Guofu want to do? Soon, Su Guofu called through WeChat. "Su Qinglan, you forced me to do this. If you dare to withdraw investment, don't blame me for being rude to this old woman! If you dare to call the police, I will kill her." With that, Su Guofu hung up the phone. Su Qinglan gritted her teeth. She really did not expect Su Guofu to be so vicious. That was his mother-in-law. At this moment, the door of Gu Jinchi's office opened. Gu Jinchi walked out and saw the pale Su Qinglan who was on the verge of collapsing. He quickly walked over and supported her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Qinglan told Gu Jinchi the whole story. Gu Jinchi frowned. "Call the police!" "No!" Su Qinglan stopped Gu Jinchi, who was about to call the police. "Su Guofu said that if I called the police, he would kill my grandmother. I can't take this risk."
