Guo Miao didn’t show any surprise. She just nodded, walked into the office, and opened the list that Li Liang had sent.
Guo Miao had heard of the few companies on the list. They were all well-known big companies in Haicheng, including the Guo Group.
However, there was also a new face among them.
“The Hailu Group?” Guo Miao frowned. “I’ve never heard of this company.”
“This is a company that was just established this year. It’s backed by capital from Beijing. It just took over the marine life protection work in Haicheng this year, and it’s doing very well,” Li Zai reported.
Although this company had just been established, it had already shown considerable professionalism. Moreover, it gained recognition in the industry by relying on the marine conservation project.
Guo Miao nodded. She had been to the scenic spots in the marine reserves that they developed. They protected the natural ecology and built some aquariums. They were very professional.
She gently ticked the company’s name.
Then, she looked at a few other companies and ticked a few more companies with a long history. Her hand stopped beside the words “Guo Group”.
Li Zai didn’t know much about the feud between Guo Miao and the Guo Group, so he asked in confusion, “The founder of Guo Group seems to have the surname ‘Guo’. Is he related to you?”
They were not just relatives but her biological parents.
Guo Miao’s eyes darkened and she shook her head. “We’re not relatives, but I’ve dealt with their chairman before. I’m not too sure about his character.”
The tip of the pen landed on the four large characters of the Guo family and drew a large cross.
The moment she drew it, Guo Miao felt an unprecedented pleasure.
Finally, the day had come. The day she would personally end the future of the Guo Group.
Guo Miao closed the form and handed it to Li Zai. “Please give it to Commander Li Liang.”
Li Zai nodded, turned around, and walked out of the room.
Guo Miao turned on the computer on her desk. The first dialog box that popped up was the information about the Guo Group. She looked straight at the flashing page on the computer and smiled.
‘Guo Ming, prepare to suffer the consequences of your actions.’
At this moment, a white-haired old man was sitting at the table in the office of the chairman of the Guo Group in Haicheng. He frowned and looked at Guo Ming, who was standing beside him.
“You promised all the shareholders that you would definitely win this drone environmental protection project. What about now?” The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip. His expression was solemn.
“Director Hu, I’ve already made contact with the environmental protection bureau, but who would have thought that they would give the project authority to Haicheng Research Institute at the last minute? However, we don’t have any connections in the research institute. Although I’ve tried my best to find them…” Guo Ming hurriedly explained.
Cold sweat had already seeped out of his head, and his entire body was trembling slightly.
Director Hu’s full name was Hu Hao, and he was the most respected director. He had started a business with Guo Ming’s father and contributed a lot to the Guo Group today.
It was also because of this that Hu Hao’s position on the board of directors and the company was very high. Everyone was still willing to listen to him.
“You know, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t keep my word, but I didn’t expect this sudden change, Uncle Hu. 1 know you won’t make things difficult for me,” said Guo Ming. “After all, it’s normal to have such changes in business, right?”
Guo Ming changed to a more intimate form of address. The reason why he could continue to be a director of the Guo Group was largely due to Hu Hao’s support.
“A temporary change, hmph.” The old man placed the teacup on the table with a clang. “You’re really good at finding excuses. Last time, your daughter’s incident was made known to the entire city. At that time, the board of directors was impeaching you. It was only because I went to plead with every director that I was able to save you.”
Hu Hao looked up at Guo Ming and sneered. “You can’t even win such a simple project now. Aren’t you slapping me in the face?
“Also, why did the police come to the Guo Group today? Did you get into trouble again?” Hu Hao asked.
“It’s just a small matter.” Guo Ming sounded guilty, but she couldn’t tell Hu Hao about this. If Hu Hao knew, he would lose his position as the chairman.
“It’s alright?” Hu Hao stood up and looked at the child he had brought up.. “Since you know how to explain things, you should explain it to the other directors too!”
