Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1078 - 1056: Why Not Ask the Huo Family for Help
Si Yuheng’s dark eyes were like the ocean before a storm, on the verge of unleashing turbulent waves: "So you’ve come here now, not to discuss with me, but just to inform me of your decision? Then let me tell you, whether she stays or leaves, it’s up to me."
Ryan saw the man in front of him enraged, feeling mildly shaken.
This femme fatale actually made the Hall Master disregard the elders of Beiming Hall, reprimanding them in such a tone for the first time.
But having watched Si Yuheng grow up, Ryan knew his character well. He couldn’t be too aggressive.
Ryan toned down a bit, but his voice remained persistent: "REX, several years ago, you resolved to whiten Beiming Hall, reorganizing some of Beiming Hall’s traditional businesses and assets to create NH. We at Beiming Hall had never engaged in those emerging industries before. Back then, so many opposed it, did I ever say anything? In the end, I still supported you. But regarding today’s matter, we can no longer indulge you."
Back then, in order to whiten the Hall, Si Yuheng abolished and dissolved parts of Beiming Hall’s illegal underground businesses, reorganizing the funds to establish NH Company.
This reform indeed left many Principals of Beiming Hall dissatisfied, feeling as though Si Yuheng’s approach was ruining the legacy of their ancestors and perceiving it as too risky.
Later, because NH was highly profitable, the facts proved that Si Yuheng had taken the right path, silencing a group of Principals.
Si Yuheng’s eyes turned cold: "You are my subordinate, supporting me is your duty, do I need to specifically thank you? Moreover, has NH been losing money for you all these years? It’s been profitable, hasn’t it, making your waistlines considerably looser."
These Principals have either large or small shares in various Beiming Hall businesses, NH being no exception.
With NH making money, these Principals also get a share.
Ryan saw his stubbornness, and a subtle, intentional look flashed in his eyes: "Indeed, we are merely your subordinates, you are the Master of Beiming Hall, but, REX, don’t forget, NH Company’s predecessor was Beiming Hall’s old business, so we Principals also hold shares. Combined, our shares total 47%, though less than your 53%, it is enough to make NH halt operations and suspend business indefinitely."
The barefaced threat drifted into Si Yuheng’s ears, word by word.
His eyes turned a somber blue, unexpectedly, without rage, but his tone was chilling: "Are you now jointly threatening me?"
Ryan softened his tone: "How could it be? I mean no offense, just one request, that is for that Asian woman to leave, so we can be at ease. She doesn’t belong here, and she’s not right for you either."
Si Yuheng’s low voice carried a trace of amusement: "If I send her back to her country, you won’t withdraw your shares?"
Ryan hesitated; simply sending Liang Anya back wasn’t very secure.
What if the Hall Master only temporarily sent Liang Anya away and later found a chance to bring her back?
Ryan considered this and said: "The Hall Master is also at the age to start a family. Over the years, although there have been many women around the Hall Master, there hasn’t been one who truly helps manage household affairs, which is our oversight. Therefore, I hope, besides sending Miss Liang away, the Hall Master can also get married soon, fulfilling one of our Principals’ wishes. A man only truly settles down when married."
Si Yuheng sneered: "Who is your chosen candidate?"
"Vivi," Ryan shamelessly recommended his own daughter.
How audacious. Si Yuheng was silent for a long time, his sharp gaze gradually dimming: "If I agree, will you sell your 43% shares to me?"
He wanted to reclaim all of NH.
From now on, not to be controlled by anyone.
Ryan understood he had compromised.
Indeed, on one hand, there’s NH he founded with his own hands, and on the other, just an Asian girl who bore him a child, it’s clear to a wise person which is more important.
He thought for a moment and said: "Rest assured, as long as you no longer associate with that woman, sever your ties, and once you marry Vivi, I’d be your father-in-law, with only Vivi as my daughter, besides giving you my shares, who else could I give them to? In the future, it’s all yours. Don’t worry about those other few Principals, once I speak, they will surely be willing to sell."
Si Yuheng remained silent for a few seconds, a strange blue light flickered in his eyes, seemingly after deep contemplation: "Leave."
Ryan knew he had agreed, feeling a bit delighted: "Alright. Then take a good rest."

The next day, not long after dawn, a confidant knocked and entered directly into the inner chamber.
Si Yuheng leaned both hands on the balcony’s sculpted railing, unusually calmly gazing at the scenery below.
"Hall Master, I inquired. Ryan indeed privately gathered other few Principals, wanting Miss Liang to leave, using the shares as a means of threat. You know those Principals, they have decades-long ties with Ryan, always listening to him. If the Hall Master doesn’t agree to their demands, they will immediately withdraw their shares, and without capital, NH would immediately fall into paralysis."
Reporting to the statue-like silhouetted figure, the confidant felt somewhat worried.
NH is the Hall Master’s years of hard work!
Those old devils, are they conspiring rebellion?
To thus force the Hall Master!?
But what Ryan and those people say, they absolutely would do!
"Hall Master, by chance, Young Master Huo hasn’t left yet, why not seek assistance from the Huo Family, Ryan is currently using that 47% of shares to threaten you, we could ask Huo Group for a loan. As long as NH can hold on and continue operating, even if Ryan and they withdraw their shares, it’s meaningless." The confidant proposed a plan.
Si Yuheng did not turn around, yet his voice had become so cold it was daunting: "Are we now in a dog-eat-dog situation internally, that I have to seek external help?"
He hadn’t fallen to such disgrace!
"But—"
"No buts! Even if borrowing is feasible, the Huo Family wouldn’t lend NH money for no reason."
"The Huo Family is financially strong, and isn’t Miss Liang a close friend of the Huo Family’s young lady? Their relationship is very good! Moreover, I heard Miss Liang’s father was an old acquaintance of the Huo Family’s old master, surely the Huo Group would fund NH to help it through difficult times..."
Si Yuheng abruptly turned, giving a thump on the dim-witted subordinate’s forehead, coldly laughing: "If Huo Zhenyang were as sentimental as you, could he sit in the position of China’s business circle overlord? There’s no father and son in the business world! Borrowing 47% of shares isn’t a small sum, it’s massive capital, Huo Group lending to NH now, with no benefits, no profit, Huo Zhenyang would have to be insane to do it! Additionally, NH and Huo Group are currently collaborating on an ocean renewable energy project, if NH seeks a loan from Huo Group, how would they perceive it? Is there still confidence in collaborating with a company that needs external borrowing? Don’t ever suggest borrowing from Huo Group again!"
