“And?” Xiang Jinxi stood facing the window, his back faced against him, his voice impassive.
Chi Yun gulped hard as he continued carefully, “A few shareholders have dumped our shares, and have said before the press that… that Xiangyuan is finished.”
“Heh,” Xiang Jinxi sneered, as if it was expected. “Continue.”
“48 people resigned today, and quite a number of them were from the top management roles.”
Chi Yun’s expression was grim, as he said bitterly, “Boss, more and more internal issues are rearing its head, and if we don’t do something fast, the company’s loses will worsen day by day, and by then….”
He did not finish his sentence, but what it entailed, was already known.
It was nothing but trouble, both inside and out.
“Understood.”
Xiang Jinxi waved him off, his voice was devoid of emotion. “Leave.”
“But…”
Chi Yun had wanted to say something else but finally gritted his teeth and left the room.
Just as the door closed, suddenly Xiang Jinxi gave the chair before him a violent kick, toppling it over.
Damn it!
Tai An that incompetent fool! He actually forgot to delete the voice recording!
Xiang Jinxi clenched his fist, and his eyes sank.
Things had happened all too quickly and he could not react at all.
He had not expected that Huo Yunting actually managed to find out the truth about Xue Yuming’s death, and had been able to produce the recording, that left him in a bind where he had no avenue to retort, and could only look on as Huo Yunting used the same method he had used, spinning public opinion against him.
“Huo Yunting!”
Scars from the beating Huo Yunting gave him was still apparent on Xiang Jinxi’s handsome face.
His thin lips curled in a menacing angle, alongside the vicious smile on his face, gave out a spin-chilling aura.
“You’ve managed to get the better of me this time, I’ll give you that, but I do not believe that you are invincible! Just you wait, our war had just begun!”
Who will be the eventual victor, was still a toss-up!
But compared to the rumor milling Xiang Jinxi did, Huo Yunting’s methods were much more effective.
Xiangyuan Corp was being battered swiftly and repeatedly, and if not for its stable foundation, and Xiang Jinxi’s personal capabilities, it would have long fallen, and be acquisited by someone else.
When the news reached Lu Zhaoyang’s ears, her mood turned slightly for the better.
But she was still worried.
“Huo Yunting!” She came and sat by his side, her brows furrowed. “It’s still not enough.”
“Hm?”
Huo Yunting looked up at her.
“While the rumor-milling is effective, but its effects are onlyfor a short term.”
Just like when Xiang Jinxi had tried to attack him with Xue Yuming’s death.
For a short period of time, both Huo Yunting and Thunderbolt Corporation was indeed affected, but as the public’s attention veered elsewhere, the rumors will simply die down, and Xiang Jinxi can plot his comeback then.”
She gnashed her teeth the moment she recalled her mother’s death.
“Can we not just slam him into jail and let justice runs its course?”
“Technically speaking, he did not kill your mother.”
Huo Yunting said calmly, “Plus, with Tai An dead, no one could prove that Xiang Jinxi had ordered him to do so, we can only try to fan the flames beneath Xiangyuan with public opinion for now.”
And Xiang Jinxi knew this very well, and did not make any moves as of yet.
With the passing of time, he could naturally restore Xiangyuan’s reputation.
“This is just not right!”
