Chapter 43 Su Qiao'er is shocked; others have also been bribed?
"Su Qiaoer, it's not that your uncle blames you, but how could you not manage to keep your own people in check?"
Father Zheng frowned as he listened to Su Qiaoer finish explaining the sequence of events. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer felt a bit displeased; after all, she really didn't like the tone of his words.
Yes, she hadn't managed to keep her own people in check.
But Zheng Jie was his son, and hadn't he failed to keep him in check as well?
Moreover, he had even let someone snatch the Zheng Group out from under his nose.
However, even though she thought this to herself, Su Qiaoer knew clearly that this was something she could not say out loud, no matter what. After all, when it came down to it, she was the one in the wrong.
"Uncle, please rest assured. I will definitely handle this matter cleanly."
"How do you intend to handle it?"
Father Zheng asked. After all, the 25% stake in Su Chemical could not be canceled under any circumstances. If it were canceled, his plans would come to nothing. Most importantly, he had already spent 20 billion. Given the current situation of Su Group, the repayment of this 20 billion would likely be the lowest priority. They would need to pay off Zheng Jie's 250 billion in compensation first, then the Bank loans, and only then would it be his turn. But the problem was, by the time it reached his turn, would there really be any money left?
If there was no money, wouldn't his 20 billion have gone down the drain? Therefore, under these circumstances, Father Zheng could not accept such a result under any circumstances.
"I plan to communicate with a few shareholders and have the current chairman replaced first. Once the chairman is replaced, we will cancel this appeal."
Father Zheng frowned as he listened to Su Qiaoer's words.
"But the problem is, how can you guarantee that these shareholders won't be bought off by Zheng Jie?"
"That can certainly be guaranteed. The few remaining shareholders of Su Group are all people who followed my grandfather and are loyal to us. Even if Zheng Jie wants to buy them off, I'm afraid they won't agree, so you can rest easy."
In fact, Su Qiaoer had reviewed the entire process of how Zheng Jie took over the Zheng Group. She believed that the reason Zheng Jie succeeded was because the Zheng Group had accepted financing from several internet companies over the past few years to seek funds, which allowed these internet companies to obtain shares of the Zheng Group. If it hadn't been for this step, Zheng Jie would never have succeeded.
Now, the shares of Su Group were all held in their own hands. Although there had been some conflicts in the past, if things really continued this way, it would be the interests of everyone that would suffer. Therefore, in this situation, these shareholders would definitely agree to her proposal.
"This... alright, Su Qiaoer, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. I don't want this matter to drag on for too long. You should be able to understand that, right?"
"I understand..."
"Good. In that case, go and handle it."
Watching Su Qiaoer's departing back, Father Zheng took a deep breath.
"Dad, do you think Su Qiaoer can really handle this matter well?"
Hearing this, Father Zheng sighed.
"I don't know... but right now, besides trusting her, do we have any other options? So, let's just trust her and hope she can handle this matter well."
Father Zheng only felt a headache coming on.
He had originally thought that the matter with Su Chemical would proceed smoothly according to his plan, and facts had proven that it was indeed quite smooth. But Father Zheng had not expected that even at this stage, changes would occur. If the court really ruled this contract invalid, what would he do? Therefore, Father Zheng felt he should add a double insurance to this matter. Thus, Father Zheng took out his mobile phone.
He dialed a number.
"Hello, Dean Chen, are you free recently? Yes, I'd like to invite you to a meal. Okay, then it's settled. You must come when the time comes."
After finishing the call, Father Zheng sighed.
"Dad, what are you..."
"Arranging things with the court in advance. After all, this kind of matter is actually ambiguous. If it's arranged in advance, it's estimated that the court will announce that Zheng Jie and his side have lost the case. It counts as double insurance."
Having been in the business field for so many years, Father Zheng still had some connections. At this moment, he was truly desperate; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to do this directly. It was just obvious that his connections were quite a bit behind Zheng Jie's.
Hearing this, Zheng Tian nodded.
As expected.
His old man still had some power.
On the other side, after Su Qiaoer left the Zheng family residence, she dialed a shareholder's number.
"Chairman Su, what's wrong?"
This "Chairman" was not the Chairman of the board, but a board director. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.
"What is going on? Why was this person bought off by Zheng Jie? Didn't you notice anything at all?"
The person sighed.
"Who could have thought of this? He had always kept a low profile, and suddenly, this happened. Chairman Su, what do you think we should do now?"
"What else can we do? Convene a board meeting immediately, get him out, and elect someone obedient to take his place. Honestly..."
Su Qiaoer's tone was filled with impatience.
"Alright, I will convene a board meeting immediately."
"Mm, good. I'm coming over immediately as well."
At this moment, Su Qiaoer sighed. This also showed that Su Qiaoer was full of frustration.
Very quickly, the several directors of Su Group had received the news. Everyone headed to Su Group. About half an hour later, the 9 directors of Su Group had all arrived. While the current chairman had fewer shares, he still held some, so he could also attend the board meeting.
When she saw him walk in, Su Qiaoer's face was filled with a grim expression.
"I really want to know what benefits he gave you."
"To make you do such a thing."
Hearing this, the chairman laughed slightly.
"Well... Zheng Jie is quite generous. Otherwise, we... wouldn't have agreed to Zheng Jie, would we?"
Su Qiaoer keenly noticed that the other party's words were off.
"We?"
Su Qiaoer frowned tightly.
Besides him, who else?
"That's right, Chairman Su. If I remember correctly, you have been married to Chairman Zheng for five years. In these five years, you really didn't understand Chairman Zheng. Chairman Zheng always makes 100% preparation for everything he does. So, did you really think he only found me?"
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer felt a bit nervous.
Were there others?
Then...
"Who are the others?"
At this moment, the chairman smiled.
Immediately after, several people in the room stood up. The moment they stood up, Su Qiaoer felt her eyelids twitching wildly.
It's over!
