Hong Kong is in full swing
Chapter 252 Countermeasures
"If you really want guidance, I can tell you something..."
Tianhe and Yu Wan are the ones that the master loves the most in our entire family.
In the future, she will also be the future mistress of our Huo family."
"Don't have any bad thoughts about her. If the master finds out about this, the consequences will be very serious. He will definitely be furious."
Having said that, Bao Gui paused and stared sternly at Qiao Heng lying on the ground, "Did you hear that clearly?"
At this time, Qiao Peifeng received three consecutive notifications in just one day because of his critical illness.
When the news came, all the members of the Qiao family quickly gathered in the hospital. Everyone was very nervous and anxiously waiting for further news about the old man's condition.
They all knew deep down that Old Joe's life was hanging by a thread. Even if he could be saved, he probably wouldn't live for long...
As the situation gradually became clearer, everyone's attention was focused on the issue of inheritance division.
Although the Qiao family's business is becoming increasingly difficult, at least they still have some assets.
Even if the company is sold, the factories and production line equipment alone can fetch a lot of money.
Over the years, they have accumulated a lot of resources. Although they are no longer as glorious as they were in the past, they still have a certain status in the local area.
In addition, Qiao Peifeng still has some personal assets, which are the result of his hard work over the years. Even if he encounters difficulties, he will not lose everything.
Yu Wan did not immediately run to the hospital to pretend, but after eating and drinking enough at home, she slowly appeared in the hospital with her bag.
She was clearly not in a rush to show her filial piety, nor did she appear panicked or sad when her father was hospitalized.
Instead, he leisurely ate a hearty meal before leisurely going to the hospital to visit.
As soon as she entered the hospital gate, she saw her eldest cousin Qiao Shucheng leading a group of clansmen scolding her and asking her why she arrived just now.
Every member of the family had a serious expression, and their tone was full of blame and dissatisfaction.
They seemed to feel that her slowness was disrespectful to her father.
"Do you have any conscience at all? Dad is lying in the hospital ward, his life or death uncertain, and you're here after a leisurely meal. You might as well wait until he's dead before coming."
Qiao Shucheng's words were filled with deep anger and disappointment, and he seemed completely unable to understand his sister's behavior.
"That's exactly what happened. You're so ignorant. How could the Qiao family give birth to a daughter like you?"
Other members of the tribe also echoed her, their voices getting louder and louder, expressing their extreme anger and disdain for her behavior.
"Don't mention that you are from our Qiao family in other people's eyes. We can't afford to lose face like this!"
An older family member was even more indignant and warned her sternly not to bring shame to the family again.
Seeing everyone's emotions being aroused, Qiao Shucheng, very satisfied, signaled for a pause, then said seriously, "Fourth sister, as a child, you should rush to your father's side immediately when he is in trouble. What you did today is really unacceptable."
His words, intentionally or unintentionally, reminded her of the sense of responsibility she should have as a member of the Qiao family.
Yu Wan didn't even raise her eyelids and asked coldly, "What are you going to do, big brother?"
She seemed to be completely unconcerned about it, and her attitude was so cold that everyone present was stunned.
"What do you mean I want to do something? Doesn't Fourth Sister know that she's doing something wrong?"
Qiao Shucheng obviously didn't expect her to be so calm, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.
Qiao Shucheng said sternly, "You should reflect on yourself now, otherwise I will blame you in the name of your father."
His words were full of threats, and he seemed ready to exercise his rights as the head of the family.
This is the routine of family businesses.
In this environment full of intrigue, the ability of relatives must be considered when appointing them.
After all, Qiao Heng was considered a villain, and Qiao Wanting was no longer considered a member of the family after she got married.
If Qiao Shucheng wants to take the position, Yu Wan has to take the blame.
"blame?"
Yu Wan looked at him, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "Brother, why do you have to pretend to be nice in front of me? Didn't you say that the old man wouldn't make it to the evening and asked me to come and take care of his funeral tomorrow?"
Her tone was calm, but revealed a hint of coldness.
"Nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing?!"
Qiao Shucheng responded almost with a roar, his face full of disbelief and anger.
His voice almost echoed throughout the entire hall, attracting the attention of others.
After being misunderstood, Qiao Shucheng's face turned red with anger, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes, almost bursting out.
Seeing his reaction, Yu Wan deliberately put on an aggrieved look and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything. I know I was wrong and shouldn't have exposed Big Brother's past in public. Don't be angry, I'm really scared."
There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she was trying to suppress the panic inside.
People around began to talk in low voices, and the situation seemed to be slowly turning around.
Someone whispered, trying to guess Yu Wan's true intentions.
The veins on Qiao Shucheng's forehead were bulging, and he was obviously on the verge of collapse.
At this time, someone finally stepped forward to help and eased the tense atmosphere.
But even so, the anger in Qiao Shucheng's heart still could not dissipate.
He knew in his heart, who knew what shocking words this woman would say next?
The doctor walked out of the room again and solemnly reminded everyone that Qiao Peifeng's current condition was not optimistic and he could not withstand any stimulation. He hoped that everyone present would try not to disturb him.
Qiao Shucheng's eyes moved rapidly as he thought of a countermeasure.
Then he squeezed out a few tears and wiped them away gently with his fingers, while giving a subtle wink to his eldest wife who had always supported him.
The eldest wife, upon receiving the hint, immediately understood and spoke up, "The old man's condition is recurring, and the situation is truly worrying. Furthermore, the third brother, as the general manager, made such a horrible mistake before, causing the entire Qiao Corporation to be in chaos. We urgently need someone of prestige to step up and take charge. I think while everyone is here, why don't we discuss the future development of the Qiao Corporation together?"
Someone nearby immediately echoed loudly, "That's right. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king, and an army cannot be without a commander. Right now, we really need someone to step up and take charge of the situation, and the boss is naturally the best candidate."
The words were sincere and sounded like he agreed with the proposal very much.
Hearing this, the Qiao family's whispers became more intense.
Although no one denies that Qiao Heng had indeed let the family down in the past, the losses suffered by Qiao's enterprise were also very serious in the past few years under Qiao Shucheng's leadership.
Everyone can see it clearly. At this time, the most important thing is to strive for a more favorable position for yourself.
Due to their family relationship, the shareholders remained silent, but their eyes revealed a sense of dissatisfaction.
