Chapter 510: Chapter 412: Must Show Qi Xingzhou the Perils of Society

Qi Xingzhou rose from the sofa and crouched in front of Jiang Ning. It only took a few seconds, but Jiang Ning had completely not anticipated his movement!

Qi Xingzhou’s superior appearance goes without saying. As he crouched in front of Jiang Ning, his skin was pale and cold, his eyebrows inked, his facial features profound, and his eyes, dark as the abyss, stared intently at Jiang Ning. His thin lips were pressed together, and the jawline perfect down to his neck.

At first glance, his demeanor was cold and noble, vastly different from his usual naive innocence. Even Jiang Ning was nearly fooled by his facade.

The prerequisite was, you had to ignore what he was actually saying.

Just a few days ago at the Qi Family’s door, he eagerly offered to give her money, and now, after a few days without seeing each other, he was voluntarily offering to give her shares.

Jiang Ning truly suspected that the "Merit Apples" given by the System had made Qi Xingzhou even more foolish. At the very least, before meeting her, Qi Xingzhou was always cautious around strangers, unlike now where he seemed to be rushing to become a philanthropic child.

Jiang Ning felt it was necessary to show Qi Xingzhou how menacing society could be and, incidentally, accomplish the task of capturing Huo Song.

She pulled Qi Xingzhou up, her tone leaving no room for doubt, "You’re coming with me to Huo’s this afternoon."

Qi Xingzhou’s eyes brightened, not even asking Jiang Ning what he was going to do at Huo’s. The pride that was just moments ago on his face turned into a silly, sweet smile, as if he would help count the money for Jiang Ning even if she sold him off, "Okay."

...

After hanging up the call with Jiang Ning, Huo Li didn’t idle away. He immediately called Chen Qi to arrange for the afternoon press conference.

Chen Qi was startled. The few words Jiang Ning said during the live broadcast today had kept them all running around hectically, and the boss had already come to an agreement with Jiang Ning so quickly?

Chen Qi’s mind was filled with doubts, but as a subordinate, he had no choice but to comply unconditionally.

After delegating the work to his subordinates, Huo Li unavoidably made a call to Huo Song.

Huo Song had already learned about the online incident from Huo Miao’s mouth and was furious, "Huo Li, look at the mess you’ve created!"

"It was a mistake; I’ve already spoken to Jiang Ning," Huo Li replied with a calm tone, "We’ll have a press conference at the company this afternoon, Jiang Ning will be there and will clear things up in front of the media."

Huo Song frowned, "How could she possibly speak favorably for the company? She seems to wish nothing more than for Huo’s to go bankrupt as soon as possible!"

If Jiang Ning was someone reasonable, the relationship between her and the Huo family members wouldn’t have deteriorated to an icy point over the past few months, and she wouldn’t have said what she did in the live broadcast this morning!

Huo Song was thoroughly dissatisfied, feeling that the actions of the eldest son this time had deeply let him down.

Huo Li was not bothered by Huo Song’s attitude, remaining very calm, "I’ve promised to give her five percent of the company’s shares."

What?!

For a moment, Huo Song even doubted his own hearing.

"You’re insane!"

He knew all too well how important the company shares were to them.

While the Huo Company might bear the Huo name, the shares the Huo family members currently held were only about forty-five percent, with the other fifty-five percent spread among other major and minor shareholders and assorted individual stocks.

Suddenly giving away five percent to Jiang Ning was like someone cutting off a piece of flesh from his body for Huo Song!

Huo Li’s voice turned icy, "You know the current situation of the company. Considering Jiang Ning’s influence and value, it’s not a loss to tie her firmly to the company with five percent of the company’s shares."
