Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Chapter 154 Tooth for Tooth

Fu Sheng Liu Ji's various stores have been cleaned and are back to business as usual. Celebrating their resurgence, Fu Sheng Liu Ji is offering a 20% discount, giving all customers a 40% discount! Furthermore, since Fu Sheng Liu Ji absorbed the Yunlan Group's stores, its scale has expanded, and Fu Sheng Liu Ji's sales are even higher than before the incident.

While Fusheng Liuji was rapidly getting back on track, Xinglong Group and Yami Group were on pins and needles. Xinglong Group's Hou Zhengyi, a close friend of Grandpa Shen, repeatedly sent me signals of reconciliation through Grandpa Shen, but I ignored them. Yami Group, on the other hand, was determined to fight Fusheng Liuji to the bitter end, constantly searching for flaws in either Fusheng Liuji or Zhongding.

Because the deceased's accident occurred at Fu Sheng Liu Ji, Fu Sheng Liu Ji held some responsibility. The judge ordered Fu Sheng Liu Ji to pay compensation to the deceased's family, which Fu Sheng Liu Ji promptly paid. However, the deceased's wife and parents argued fiercely over the payment, and ultimately, the focus shifted away from Fu Sheng Liu Ji, which finally emerged from the shadows.

The truth of the case was revealed, and Rong Zixuan was released. Jiashu and Jiache happily went back to school. But that afternoon, the two brothers returned home with sad faces. I could tell something was wrong.

"Jiashu, tell mom, did you have a good time at school today?"

Jiashu didn't say anything, so Jiache took the initiative to answer: "Mom, Dad is out of prison, and the police have proven that Dad is not a bad person. Why do they still say that we are the sons of a murderer?"

"Who said that?"

"Bao Weijie said that!" Jiache was very angry.

"Did other students say anything?"

"No, but the classmates who are good friends with Bao Weijie all say that we are the sons of a murderer! His father is a school director, and most of the classmates play with him. They always laugh at us and say that we are the sons of a murderer!" Jia Che cried with excitement.

I quickly hugged Jia Che and comforted him, "They're all talking nonsense! Your dad is not a bad person! They're just jealous that you have a good dad! Look, your dad often plays with you and picks you up from time to time. But their dad rarely spends time with them, so they're jealous that you have a good dad! Not only is your dad not a bad person, he's a good dad! Mommy will go to school tomorrow to talk to the teacher and their parents! Ask them to apologize to you, okay?"

"Really?" Jia Che asked with sobs.

"When has mom ever lied to you? Now go wash your face, finish your homework and then you can watch TV." I gently wiped away Jiache's tears.

I thought adult matters wouldn't affect the children, but I didn't expect Bao Guoqiang, who couldn't even touch me, to want to harm my child. This is intolerable! That evening, I arranged through the teacher for a meeting with several other parents the next day to discuss their children's recent problems. The teacher also replied that the other parents agreed.

The next day, at the appointed time, the other parents still hadn't shown up. After waiting for half an hour, I urged the teacher to check with the other parents, and they replied that they were on their way. But another half hour passed, and no one showed up. I urged the teacher again, and they said their car had broken down and they had taken a taxi, asking me to be patient. Another half hour passed, and the teacher called again, but they all said they couldn't come that day, that they had important matters to attend to, and that they would wait another day.

It's normal for one or two people to be late, but everyone was late and had something urgent to do. The most important thing is that they left me alone for an hour and a half. Even a fool can see that I was fooled!

The teacher was also very embarrassed. "Jiashu Jiache's mother, how about we make an appointment another day? I don't think the other parents will be able to attend today."

"That's not necessary! But teacher, please tell them that they will pay the price for their stupid behavior today!" I said to the teacher with a smile, turned around, put away my smile, and walked out of the office with a stern face.

As soon as I came out, I agreed to the dinner that Grandpa Shen proposed. Grandpa Shen was also very responsive and set the time for the evening. As expected, the Hou family of Xinglong Group was present at the dinner, and there was an empty seat between Grandpa Shen and Mr. Hou. I walked straight to that empty seat without waiting for them to greet me.

"Xiaoqing, Old Hou is my old friend. Do you mind if I treat him to a meal together?" Grandpa Shen asked me with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind. It will be more lively with more people!" I also answered with a smile.

"Mr. Wei, Old Shen often talks to me about you. He said that meeting you is the blessing that their Shen family has accumulated in several lifetimes!" Old Master Hou started talking to me.

"Thank you, thank you! Mr. Hou, you are so blessed to have so many children and grandchildren!" I also started to flatter each other.

"That's not the case. These unfilial descendants of mine are all spendthrifts. Even at my age, I dare not slack off!" Old Master Hou's words had hidden meaning.

"But to be honest, don't be angry! You are very capable and have a very good vision when it comes to seizing opportunities! But your descendants have not inherited your ability in this regard! They are not even a little bit worse than you! Their vision is extremely poor! They can't see what opportunities are and which way to go! They almost led Xinglong into the gutter." I mocked Hou Lian in my words, and Hou Lian's face looked very ugly.

"My sons are more impetuous than each other. They are always eager for quick results and have no patience. So sometimes they rush things too hastily and end up making things worse. Please bear with me if I have offended you!" Old Master Hou was still reminding me in a roundabout way.

"Since we are all here today, and we also know the other party's purpose. Then let's speak frankly! You did deliberately suppress Fu Sheng Liuji before, and it's not wrong from your point of view! It's business, everyone can understand! Therefore, I will not vent my anger on the entire Xinglong Group. But Hou Lian went to find the deceased's wife and muddied the matter! We could have solved it smoothly, but Hou Lian's intervention brought us a lot of trouble! Hou Lian's disruption caused us a lot of losses! So I can't let Hou Lian off easily!" I made my words clear.

"Hou Lian, stand up and apologize to President Wei!" Old Master Hou ordered Hou Lian.

Hou Lian stood up reluctantly and bowed to me unwillingly to apologize.

"Seeing how reluctant he is, I think we should just forget about it! Besides, this can't be solved with just an apology!" I said disdainfully.

"Then Mr. Wei, just state whatever conditions you have!" Old Master Hou lowered his tone.

"I do have a condition, which is why I'm willing to sit here. This condition is not excessive, and you can easily do it!"

"Just tell me what it is!" Old Master Hou saw hope.

"I remember that you are one of the directors of Shengde International School. You know all the directors. If you can convince them to kick Bao Guoqiang off the school board and recommend me to join the school board, I can let the Hou Lian matter go!"

When I put forward this condition, both Mr. Hou and Mr. Shen were very surprised. Because the school board members were all their old friends, it would be too easy to convince them. They couldn't believe that I would make such a simple request.

"Is that all?" Mr. Hou asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" I answered confidently.

"This matter is very simple. Those school directors are old friends of ours. It's just a matter of a word!" Mr. Hou smiled relaxedly.

A week later, Bao Guoqiang was removed from the board of directors of Shengde International School, and I became the new board member. I immediately had the school expel Bao Guoqiang's son, Bao Weijie, for his poor personal conduct and his inability to change despite repeated warnings. The group of followers surrounding Bao Weijie were also expelled. Although their parents repeatedly protested, claiming I was pursuing personal vendettas, their children's isolation and insulting language toward Jiashu and Jiache were undeniable violations of school rules. Ultimately, they realized they were in the wrong and left in anger. Within a week, the parents of these followers also received termination notices from their respective companies. Although they had spread online allegations of my personal vendetta, they were subsequently served with legal letters from Zhongding and Yuanyuan, warning them that they were damaging the reputations of company executives and that they would face consequences if they did not remove the posts. Knowing my commitment, they dared not to protest again.

But Bao Guoqiang was in a state of panic, because he knew he was completely on my blacklist and that I was planning to deal with him. When the media later photographed him, he had a head full of white hair. Everyone speculated that he was under too much pressure because his opponent was me!
