Chapter 41: The Su Group Sues Su Qiao'er, This Cooperation is Invalid

Su Qiaoer watched Zheng Tian's retreating back. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and in the end, said nothing.

Just at this moment, Su Qiaoer's phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Father Su.

Looking at the call from her father, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She answered the phone.

"Hello, Dad."

"Qiaoer, what's going on? How could Su Group lose this case?"

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's face turned ugly.

As expected.

Her parents already knew about this.

At this moment, Su Qiaoer had basically confirmed in her heart that the successor she had personally chosen, the current Chairman of Su Group, had betrayed her. Otherwise, this matter was completely inexplicable.

"Dad... the current Chairman must have reached a cooperation agreement with Zheng Jie, which is why this happened."

Father Su was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Right now, he felt nothing but relief—relief that their family had sold their shares in advance. If Su Qiaoer were still the Chairman, this 250 billion in debt would have caused Su Group to collapse completely, and Su Qiaoer, as the Chairman, would not have been able to escape the consequences.

"Thank goodness, Qiaoer, you resigned early. If you were still the Chairman of Su Group, I'm afraid you would be in big trouble right now."

Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.

"But... Dad, I feel like Zheng Jie must have follow-up plans. You know the situation at Su Group; there are only two or three billion in liquid funds left, and there are huge Bank loans. Under these circumstances, how could Su Group pay so much money? So, I believe that unless something unexpected happens, Zheng Jie must have other arrangements."

Su Qiaoer felt that, given Zheng Jie's personality, he wouldn't do this for no reason. After all, bribery also requires paying a certain price. If Zheng Jie couldn't gain anything from this, then based on her understanding of him, it was highly unlikely he would do it.

"Other arrangements? What other arrangements could there be? Alright, Qiaoer, stop worrying about this. Su Group has nothing to do with us anymore. Let's just sit back and watch this unfold as bystanders."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.

Zheng Tian wouldn't let her participate, and her father didn't want her to participate either... Was she really just going to do nothing?

Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer didn't know what she should do.

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. Qiaoer, Su Group has no connection to us anymore. Just hold onto the billions you have in your hands, as well as the 25% stake in Su Chemical. As for the rest, let those still at Su Group deal with the headache."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer sighed.

"I understand, Dad."

"Hmm."

On the other side, Zheng Jie had also received news from the court.

"Su Group has lost. According to the logic, they should compensate us 250 billion."

"Boss, I think we can proceed to the next step now."

What was the next step?

Naturally, it was to announce at the Su Group board meeting that the cooperation between the Zheng family and Su Chemical had issues, and to directly revoke this cooperation.

As for the 20 billion...

It would certainly be given.

But a few more lice wouldn't bother a man. Now that Su Group had to pay 250 billion in compensation to Zheng Group, plus various Bank loans, it totaled about 450 billion. And now, with Father Zheng's 20 billion added on top, that made 470 billion, didn't it?

"Hmm, looking at it now, we can indeed initiate the next step."

"Zhang Wei, take action."

"Tell Su Group that I want to see the announcement I want within today."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded.

"Understood, Boss."

Soon, the Chairman of Su Group received the news. Fifteen minutes later, the board meeting officially began. Looking at the shareholders who appeared, everyone actually knew in their hearts that Zheng Jie had bribed them, including himself.

Su Qiaoer was not among the directors who came this time, because according to the regulations of the Su Group board, if an agenda item involved a specific director, the Chairman had the right to exclude that director from the board meeting. Since this matter clearly involved Su Qiaoer, there was naturally no need for her to attend.

"According to the investigation by relevant departments."

"We have discovered that there are major issues with the 20 billion financing from the Zheng family father and son, which was pushed through while Su Qiaoer was serving as Chairman."

"Namely, the 20 billion exchange for a 25% stake in Su Chemical. Everyone, please look: this is the market value and annual profit of Su Chemical when this deal started. It is no exaggeration to say that this was daylight robbery."

"Combined with the special relationship between Su Qiaoer and Zheng Tian, we suspect that Su Qiaoer colluded with the Zheng family father and son in this cooperation to defraud assets that belonged to Su Group."

"Therefore... I propose terminating this cooperation."

"And officially filing a lawsuit with the court regarding the unreasonableness of this cooperation."

In truth, everyone present knew there must have been private collusion. The reason was simple: everyone else had done the same thing except for Su Qiaoer. After all, Su Group was on the verge of collapse, and many people certainly needed to secure some benefits for themselves, didn't they?

"Agreed, I don't think there's a problem."

"I also agree."

"Good."

"..."

All the directors unanimously expressed their support.

"Since everyone has agreed, I will entrust the Legal Department to officially file a lawsuit with the court."

"At the same time, we will also officially announce this on our official website."

At this moment, the Chairman of Su Group had a firm look on his face.

To be honest, Zheng Jie had indeed offered significant benefits to bribe these shareholders, but if he could successfully obtain controlling interest in Su Chemical, those benefits were truly negligible.

As for the so-called compensation, Zheng Jie also knew the other party couldn't possibly pay it. Furthermore, in his view, the 61% stake in Su Chemical was worth far more than 250 billion. So, Zheng Jie felt he wasn't losing out; after all, this company was just too high-quality, and it was a real industry... So in Zheng Jie's eyes, this was something he had to secure.

Since the board had passed the matter, everyone immediately took action.

And at this moment, Su Qiaoer did not know that the things she had secured for herself would all be lost in the near future.
