Chapter 624: Chapter 624

When talking about his granddaughter, Director Liu felt helpless.

This woman, upon seeing a man, seemed eager to offer everything from her household, just like Xiao Family’s foolish third daughter, Shuju, completely manipulated by Lin Jiale.

He was unwilling to see Xiaoliu turn into someone like Shuju. It truly was a debt of emotions, owed from a previous life. No matter how much the parents and elders said, it was all in vain. Perhaps for this reason, when Shuju had said she wanted to marry Lin Jiale, Xiao Jianming didn’t utter a word of objection, just letting her marry if she wished.

In fact, this was also good, so that Shuju could realize on her own whether her parents were right or she was. Ultimately, people had to experience hardships to understand growth.

There was no need to mention the marriages of the other Xiao daughters except for the eldest, Shumei—none of them were ever looked upon favorably by others. However, unexpectedly, Xiao Jianming, who seemed to never meddle in his daughters’ marriages, personally thwarted his son’s autonomous marriage.

Director Liu could only think like everyone else that Xiao Jianming, despite his humble origins, still preferred wealth over poverty. Thus, he did not care if his daughters married rich men, but his son must never marry a daughter from a poor family.

Thinking over and over, Director Liu suddenly found his mind in disarray today, unlike his usual peace of mind. As a result, he was somewhat resentful towards the tardy Kang father and son.

Had Kang Junjia and his group appeared as expected, he wouldn’t be feeling so uneasy now, as if sitting on pins and needles, fearing something he could never have anticipated might happen.

As he sat on the couch, the telephone beside him suddenly rang, startling him.

He furrowed his brows.

The secretary walked over to answer the phone for him. It was a call from the company, and moreover, from the HR department. After hanging up, the secretary said to Director Liu, "The company has called for an immediate board meeting. Since Miss Xiao has been out of sight, the company can’t operate without a leader."

This had been a topic of private discussions among many; Shumei had said she was out trying to secure funds to help the company through hard times, but after all, as the nominal head of Changda, she couldn’t just not be present at the company.

All directors harbored dissatisfaction and grievances about this, yet, strangely, no one dared to be the first to suggest impeaching Shumei.

The reason was simple; everyone still harbored some fear towards the man lying in the hospital, who seemed as good as dead. They feared this king-like man might suddenly come back to life one day to discipline those who had mistreated his daughter.

Now that the stalemate was broken, which director had suddenly grown bold?

Director Liu raised an eyebrow, his eyes clouded with questions. Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Nowadays, most people in the boardroom were his men. Anything they did, they had to report and consult him first before making a move.

The secretary said, "I don’t know who it is, but HR mentioned that because there are some issues in the company and the young Miss is absent, someone needs to make decisions. Hence, the directors might have been asked to discuss and give advice."

"Alright," said Director Liu, rising. This was a good opportunity to win over the hearts of some base level employees as well.

He got into the car and headed to Changda headquarters. On the way, he instructed his secretary to call Kang Junjia again. Kang Junjia’s phone was still turned off.

Director Liu’s brow furrowed repeatedly, and in frustration, he cursed rudely: "Damned fools! If I see them again, I’ll cut out their tongues.

If you don’t have integrity, then don’t open your mouth to make others wait.
