"Boli, how could you do this! You've truly disappointed me!"
In the Xu Group's senior conference room, the chairman of the Xu Group, Xu Bonian, looked grim during an emergency board meeting that was hastily convened.
He knew that Xu Bolin still harbored resentment over Xu Jingsong's previous assassination attempt, and the two could possibly clash fiercely again in the future.
However, he never expected that at such a critical moment, which concerned the life and death of the Xu family, Xu Bolin would choose to completely sever ties in such a self-destructive manner, risking themselves while confronting the enemy!
"No matter how the Xu family fights internally, it's our own business, but now with the enemy at our gates, you're handing them a knife, shorting our own company!
Do you know that by doing this, it hurts those close, while bringing joy to our enemies!
If we're not careful, the Xu family may face a catastrophic disaster, with the family foundation crumbling in an instant!"
Xu Bonian forcefully knocked on his cane.
He was indeed anxious.
The current state of the Xu Group could be described as beset with internal and external troubles.
The Daniu Venture Capital case had already garnered much attention, investors were in panic and making withdrawals, their official social media accounts were under siege, and self-media criticism was rampant - attempts to suppress the issue were futile.
Although Hong Tianfang's connections had delayed the involvement of investigators, the time they had left was running out, and eventually, they would have to provide an explanation.
The Xu Group's stock price, under the weight of various negative news and concerted pressures, continued a week-long steep decline, dropping to only 13 yuan per share, almost cut in half.
Based on various hints, it seemed that a mysterious enemy was aggressively collecting cheap shares, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
At this moment, how could he remain calm?
Facing him, Xu Bolin hadn't spoken yet, but his only son, Xu Jinbai, already gave an unyielding glare in return.
"It hurts those close, while bringing joy to our enemies? Hmph! Sounds nice, but when Xu Jingsong showed no regard for his family, wasn't that also hurting those close, while bringing joy to enemies?
What? The lives of your branch matter, but the lives of our branch don't?"
Xu Bonian's face twitched.
He couldn't rebut that. After all, if truth be told, they were indeed in the wrong first.
He couldn't help but give a stern glare at the lowered-eyes Xu Jingsong beside him.
Unfilial son! This trouble is all because of you!
At this moment, Xu Jingsong didn't dare meet the old master's gaze.
He could only maintain a sullen face, casting a cold look across at Xu Bolin.
Though he wished he could immediately take down his uncle, he knew that any action now would likely pour oil on the fire, escalating the conflict.
The best solution currently was to let the old master step in and persuade Xu Bolin to abandon the internal strife.
Once the internal issues of the Xu family were resolved, he could then focus on dealing with the troubles of Daniu Venture Capital...
"Elder brother, don't speak as if you're so righteous; you may be disappointed in me, but am I not also disappointed in you?"
Xu Bolin, who had been silent, finally spoke up, casting a glance at Xu Jingsong.
"Some people can collude with outsiders to harm their own uncle, so is it too much for an uncle like me to make some friends outside and return favors?
Besides, I'm a bit strapped for cash lately. Is there any issue if I sell some shares while the price is high to gather funds?"
Seeing Xu Bonian wanting to say more, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.
"Alright, elder brother, at this point, who's right and wrong is no longer important.
However, there's one thing you said correctly: no matter how the Xu family fights, it's a family matter.
Rest assured, I'm not foolish enough to hand over control of the company to outsiders.
But if you wish to ease the tension between both sides... then perhaps the CEO position can be reconsidered, no?"
Xu Jingsong's face twitched harshly!
Yet, Xu Bolin continued.
"I believe all the board members present have seen it: since Xu Jingsong took over the company a few short years ago, problems within the Group have arisen continually.
Which of his strategies hasn't ended in failure or loss, each time bringing enormous losses to the Group!
This time, the Xu Group is at the center of the storm, with the outside world saying our Group is morally bankrupt, specializing in scamming ordinary people's money, causing irreparable damage to our brand and reputation!
If this continues, the preservation of the Xu family's foundation might become uncertain.
Once might be an accident, twice might be happenstance, but thrice is inexcusable!
We've given him chances, yet it's clear Xu Jingsong lacks the capability to steer the Group.
For the sake of the Group's crisis management and future development...
I propose that the current Group CEO, Xu Jingsong... should resign with accountability!"
Resign with accountability?!
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingsong, who had tried not to escalate the conflict, could no longer hold his composure.
"Xu Bolin! Have you finally revealed your true colors?
Why has the Group faced successive decision failures, rampant rumors, and even given competitors a chance to strike hard? Perhaps you should ask your good uncle!
Xu Bolin's face turned cold.
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? If your branch hadn't been hindering us and leaking our Group's confidential information to outsiders, would the Group be in its current state?
I know you've been coveting my position as CEO, but I never expected your means to be so disgraceful!
Time and again, you'd rather let the Group suffer heavy losses and damage everyone's interests, all to collaborate with outsiders to seize control of the Group.
Do you want my position? Fine! I can resign with accountability!
