Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
How would Papa Mu know about it? Mr. Mu Xiao cooperated with Su Zipei. They intended to force him to come up with all kinds of resolutions.
Now, what more could he rely on when he had used up all of his tactics?
He could only turn to Grandpa Mu.
“Dad, please say something,” Papa Mu asked Grandpa Mu to make the decision.
“I sacrificed a lot for Mu Group these past few years. But, I never thought that so many people would stand against me today. I’m really disappointed.”
Grandpa Mu knew that Papa Mu had worked quite hard for the company. He worked diligently all these years so that he would not be forced to step down from his post.
But…
“Dad, you have been biased all these years and you should change that now. If not, are you planning to get rid of everybody who is against you just like him?”
“Brother, I never saw that in you until now. You’re such an ambitious man.”
Mr. Mu Xiao said nothing. He smiled and stood up. Then, he walked out of the meeting room and said to Mu Qiqi, “Qiqi, come in here.”
“Uncle…”
Mu Qiqi was dragged into the meeting room.
Everybody did not understand the reason why Mr. Mu did that. But, he led Mu Qiqi to his seat. Then, he asked her, “Qiqi, could you tell everybody present what you’ve suffered all these years?”
“Uncle, do you mean the incident where I was slandered for causing my grandma’s death or that incident when I was disowned and kicked out from my home or…regarding Mr. Mu physically abusing me at home?” Mu Qiqi seemed quite pitiful but she remained strong nevertheless.
“Ladies and gentlemen. Qiqi is my brother’s daughter. But, the way he treats her is rather special. He always beats her up and scolds her. He favors Qiqi’s younger sister. Why is that so? It’s because Qiqi is disobedient!”
“He claims that Qiqi caused her grandma’s death when they don’t even have any valid evidence. But, it’s because he’s afraid that we would put the blame on him. In fact, we just want to know the truth. However, he disowned Qiqi and kicked her out. How could he ask a seventeen-year-old girl to wander outside alone? Luckily, Madam Su took pity on Qiqi and took her in. So, she was not left all alone.”
“So, I can believe the rumors outside. Surely, it was not a made-up story.”
“You could even treat your own daughter that cruelly. How about your wife? Maybe you could even do something worse!”
“If that event is investigated and proved, would the entire Mu Group be under sequestration? Would you be able to bear the consequences? If that’s the case, why don’t we dismiss you from your post so that the public will forget about you sooner. Then, it’ll surely be better for Mu Group.”
Almost all of the people present were somebody’s parents.
How dare he disown his own daughter? Surely, he was a cruel person!
“How cruel!”
The stockholders could not help but sigh.
“I never met such a cruel father.”
If Qiqi was not there, the stockholders might have not believed what Mr. Mu Xiao said. So, they wouldn’t have hated Papa Mu so much.
But, now that Mu Qiqi was there whether intentionally or unintentionally, it indeed helped a lot.
“Why is Qiqi here? Is it a coincidence? Why did you come here if you didn’t plan your scheme against me beforehand?” Papa Mu retorted to Mu Qiqi. He was still indicating that Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei wanted to frame him so they created such rumors online intentionally.
Mu Qiqi turned to look at Papa Mu with a cold smile when she heard him. “How could you say that? My aunt came here to meet you last time. But, you asked the receptionist to prohibit her from entering the building. I know you have always looked down on my aunt’s birth and status. But, she’s one of your stockholders now. If I didn’t accompany her this time around, wouldn’t you have asked your receptionist to humiliate her again?”
“I was kicked out of my home and I had no place else to go. I could only work as a part-timer in a small clinic and slept on the bench at night. It’s my aunt who saved and protected me. So, why can’t I side with her?”
“My mother is dead because she wanted to divorce you. So, how could I not hate you when she was burned to death at the Mu family residence?”
An eighteen-year-old girl could talk about such excruciating pain in front of everybody. The stockholders were anxious and sad too.
As a son, he did not investigate his mother’s death but put the blame on his daughter to appease everybody’s anger.
As a father, Papa Mu treated his two twin daughters with bias. He adored the little daughter who could benefit him in life. This kind of thing was indeed unheard of.
As a brother, he only appeared friendly to them but in fact it was not so.
At last, Grandpa Mu had nothing else to say anymore. He said to the stockholders directly, “Let’s vote now. If the votes are more than half, he’ll have to step down from his post.”
Mu Qiqi went to stand beside Su Zipei when she heard that.
By now, the secretary had taken the polling box out to allow the stockholders to cast their votes.
What else could Papa Mu say now that his personal affairs were being discussed and revealed in front of everybody? Moreover, they even had Mu Qiqi as their witness.
He could only wait for the results since he had negotiated well with a few stockholders last night. Although he would have to pay a high price for that, it was worthwhile as long as he could hold the position as CEO!
Soon, they casted their votes. The secretary started calculating the votes.
Mu Qiqi glanced at Papa Mu before turning to look at her uncle and Su Zipei.
How could they overlook it when Papa Mu thought about that too.
They knew clearly what Papa Mu did.
So, they went to meet the stockholders after Papa Mu left their homes.
“There are twenty four stockholders and all of them are present. There are twenty three stockholders who vote for the dismissal of the current CEO. One stockholder gave up the vote. Hence, the dismissal of CEO Mu is effective from now onward.”
Papa Mu got up from his seat immediately when he heard that. He pointed at the stockholders he met last night. “You took advantage of me. How could you break your promise?”
“We told the chairman that you bribed us with money. We’ll return the money you gave us!”
“Since it’s effective, why don’t we ask my youngest son to hold the position as the CEO of Mu Group temporarily. Is there any objection?” Grandpa Mu tried to push his son, Mr. Mu Xiao to become the CEO.
“Dad…” Papa Mu looked at Grandpa Mu desperately. “You are going to give up on me too?”
“Did you know what Xue’er said to me before I came here this morning? She begged me to protect her! It’s because she’s afraid that you’ll vent your anger on her and abuse her physically. I think that from now on maybe you won’t have such a bad temper anymore.” Grandpa Mu said coldly, “If you’re still angry, get out of the Mu family.”
Mu Qiqi saw how Papa Mu lost his ground and power. She felt that it would be the best consolation for her mother.
Finally, the bastard was defeated!
She wanted so badly to share the good news with Xiaoxiao although he might have predicted it beforehand. It was because Xiaoxiao was the one who taught them what to do!
However, Su Zipei was thinking about something else now. She wanted to know more about what happened between Shen Jianchuan and Papa Mu.
