My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 844: When the Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes
Suddenly, the gazes looking at Ye Lu were filled with additional fury and resentment.
Ye Lu felt that as soon as she showed up, a barrage of scornful looks shot her way, and if she didn’t have thick skin, she would have taken it to heart.
She, along with Tian Kun and a few senior executives, confidently took their seats.
At the head of the giant oval conference table sat Jun Guanru, with Jun Shi beside him, and Gu Yan, there as an observer, next to Jun Shi.
Their expressions were not the same; Ye Lu carefully observed that Jun Guanru’s face was stern, his wrinkles deepening to chiseled cuts from such a severe expression, showing he was deep in thought, somber, and with a trace of helplessness.
Ye Lu suddenly understood that he must have been reluctant to call this meeting, but under the collective pressure of too many shareholders and executives, he had no choice, which suggested he still sided with Third Young Master Jun.
She breathed a sigh of relief in secret; that was good, her fear was that even Jun Guanru, the grandfather, would not support Third Young Master Jun, and then Third Young Master Jun would indeed be completely isolated and betrayed by all.
As for Jun Shi, he clearly appeared confident and self-assured; the coldness and pride in his eyes were undisguisable, yet on the surface, he put on a look of anger and disbelief, as if he was greatly distressed by the matter.
Ye Lu remembered all the venomous things he had done to Third Young Master Jun in the past, and felt chilled to the bone—plotting against his own son in every way imaginable, he was no better than a beast.
As for Gu Yan, he just wore an expressionless face, both sarcastic and indifferent.
In just a few minutes, Ye Lu had sized up everyone’s attitudes in the room. She looked around at the expressions of the shareholders and executives; not many were supportive of Third Young Master Jun, and even those who usually leaned towards him were now bowing their heads, adopting a stance of prudent self-preservation.
Indeed, human warmth is fleeting; when the wall doesn’t fall, everyone pushes!
"Where is Jun Huang? Why hasn’t he come?" Jun Guanru frowned deeply.
When Ye Lu said he was not feeling well, Jun Shi revealed a sneering smile, "That’s indeed a good excuse to dodge responsibility. My son may not be good at anything else, but he’s quite adept at fleeing the scene when it counts!"
His words immediately drew dissatisfaction from many executives towards Third Young Master Jun, and soon, the seating area was filled with relentless jeers and mockeries aimed at him.
Feiyu’s face turned blue with anger, glaring at Jun Shi, and the executives of Tian Kun were extremely embarrassed.
"I don’t know whether he is good at fleeing or not, but what I do know is that you, this ’benevolent’ father, are best at..." Ye Lu retorted lightly, " ’caring’ for your son, profoundly moving indeed!"
Feiyu couldn’t help but laugh with a snort.
Jun Shi’s gaze darkened, fury in his heart, as this woman dared to mock him in front of so many shareholders and senior executives.
"Enough, we are not here today to fight," Jun Guanru stopped their bickering.
He then looked at Ye Lu, "ZA Company has filed a lawsuit against Tian Kun and FSD Company, claiming Tian Kun was involved in backroom dealings and corrupt transactions in the bidding of a project. Are you aware of this?"
"I believe it’s baseless, the work of someone with ulterior motives stirring up trouble. There’s no need for such grandstanding; it simply plays into the schemer’s hands and causes rumors to spread more widely, making the issue uncontrollable," Ye Lu spoke calmly, "I suggest we first..."
Jun Shi interrupted her disdainfully with a sneer, "Baseless? Women should just be women, go home and have kids. What do you know about business? Spouting nonsense here, ordering people around. Do you realize how much damage this incident has caused to Tian Kun, how the stocks have plummeted, investors have lost confidence in the project, and the various chain reactions that resulted in Jun Shi losing over ten billion in one day! Ten billion, can you bear that responsibility? You and that boy stirring up such a mess, how do you explain that?"
