Chapter 508: Chapter 410: Giving You Shares

Thinking of how the two of them would complete many tasks in the future, and that each one could only be accomplished by Qi Xingzhou’s control over the little animals, Jiang Ning took Qi Xingzhou’s phone and bound the camera account software to his own phone.

After setting it up, Jiang Ning returned the phone to Qi Xingzhou, "Now, you’ll be able to monitor the progress of the animals’ tasks more clearly."

Qi Xingzhou looked down at the real-time surveillance footage displayed on his phone screen, a glint of light passing through his eyes.

While Qi Xingzhou surveilled the small animals’ whereabouts from afar, Jiang Ning wasn’t idle either; she dragged out the task that the System had just released and examined it carefully.

Miao Wenjun was actually not an employee of a food delivery platform at all, but a good-for-nothing loafer on the streets.

This man usually liked to steal chickens and dogs and, at other times, voyeuristically filmed female tenants taking baths. With no proper job, and a penchant for drinking and gambling, Miao Wenjun was the epitome of a scoundrel.

The task today of killing the tabby cat and tossing it at Jiang Ning wasn’t his own intention but instead someone had paid Miao Wenjun to do so. Seeing that the other party paid well, he agreed to it.

Such scum was simply society’s maggots.

Jiang Ning frowned and asked the System to organize the evidence of Miao Wenjun peeping and filming the female tenants taking baths, then anonymously sent it to those tenants.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket, Jiang Ning took it out, and saw it was Huo Li calling her again.

This time, Jiang Ning didn’t ignore it. She swiped her finger, and the call connected, "Hello?"

Huo Li had just finished dealing with those annoying shareholders. As soon as he returned to his office, he immediately took out his phone and called Jiang Ning.

Seeing that the call finally got through, Huo Li’s tone was somewhat stern and displeased, "Jiang Ning, where are you now? I need you to come to the company immediately."

Jiang Ning was secretly surprised. Huo Li usually kept a cool and aloof demeanor, this was the first time she sensed displeasure in Huo Li through the screen.

Jiang Ning laughed, "I’m not available right now."

Huo Li frowned, "Jiang Ning, those words you said in the live broadcast room just now, did you do it on purpose?"

He didn’t believe Jiang Ning was unaware of the consequences those words would have.

If it wasn’t for what Jiang Ning said, how could netizens possibly be so hostile towards Huo’s.

Just a few short hours after Jiang Ning ended her live broadcast, the return rate of Huo’s products hit a new record high. Not only the company’s customer service was overwhelmed, even the online store customer service and the Huo Corporation’s live-selling hosts were nearly brought to tears by the onslaught of malicious comments from netizens.

"You tried to use me to whitewash Huo’s and boost its reputation and profits without my knowledge, now you have to face the backlash after being exposed," Jiang Ning said calmly, "What’s fake can never be real, and what’s real can never be fake."

Huo Li clenched his fists.

He had considered consulting Jiang Ning’s opinion when he first planned to do this.

However, based on the changes in Jiang Ning’s temperament and her indifferent style of conduct, she would definitely not agree to play the family card with the Huo Family. Hence, Huo Li thought of buying Jiang Ning over with a daily salary to have her work at Huo’s, creating the illusion that she and Huo’s were one and the same.

Huo Li had anticipated several reactions Jiang Ning might have upon finding out about Huo’s marketing plan. He thought she would come and question him angrily, and in that case, he could offer new terms to stabilize her.

He never expected, though, that Jiang Ning would sidestep both him and the entire Huo Family and directly reveal in the live broadcast that she was not close to Huo’s...

By doing so, she was unmistakably telling netizens: You’ve been tricked by Huo’s! I haven’t reconciled with Huo’s yet, so don’t be fooled!

"Do you have to be so ruthless?" Huo Li’s voice deepened, "Even though your surname is Jiang, you are still part of the Huo Family. If it weren’t for the previous mix-up, you would have a share in the company."

Jiang Ning scoffed.

Huo Li’s voice was grave, "Jiang Ning, I’m offering you five percent of Huo Company’s shares, now go and change your statement."

Although Huo Li and Huo Song had been trying to stabilize the company, the previous boycotts by netizens and the stock market plunge had seriously harmed the company’s vitality.

The current Huo Company simply couldn’t withstand any further turbulence.

Since he was young, Huo Li was indoctrinated with the idea of taking over the Huo Corporation as an adult and making it bigger and stronger.

The company’s prospects were more important to him than anything else.

No adult could resist the temptation of benefits after being dyed by the society. Surely Jiang Ning wouldn’t be so headstrong as to defy money, would she?

Fearing that Jiang Ning didn’t understand the significance of these five percent shares, Huo Li even took the time to elaborate specifically, "Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, the two brothers, also only own five percent of the shares combined. The dividends from the company alone are enough to let them lounge for the rest of their lives."
