C12 Give an Explanation
Murong Group.
After finishing his business, Murong Jingchen lay on his office chair in exhaustion.
For the past few days, he had been so preoccupied with Schumann's affairs that he had made a mistake during the meeting, something that had never happened before.
"Shua!" Man! "Man!"
Murong Jingchen opened his mouth and spoke softly.
He had a feeling that Schumann had changed after the accident, and his eyes had become more guarded.
"Dong, dong, dong ~"
Murong Jingchen's personal secretary, Cui Sheng walked in and stood respectfully by his side.
"How's the investigation going?"
"We're too late. The surveillance cameras around us have been set up by someone."
Cui Sheng said in a low voice.
Indeed!
Murong Jingchen had always felt that Schumann had been in a car accident twice and it wasn't that simple. It seemed that someone was trying to harm her.
"Where's the car?"
"It's a stolen car. The owner reported it three months ago."
Murong Jingchen furrowed his brows and pursed his lips. He didn't say anything, but kept tapping the table with his right hand as if he was thinking about something.
"Send some people to her side, don't let them find out."
After a long while, Murong Jingchen finally spoke.
"Yes, I just called back from my house. Master wants you to go back."
Hearing these words, the originally exhausted Murong Jingchen suddenly turned cold.
"Did you say anything?"
"It seems to be about Miss Shu's annulment of the engagement."
"Let's go."
Since it had to do with Schumann, he would have to go back, even if he didn't want to.
At the Mu Rong family residence.
In the living room, Mu Rong Chen sat on the sofa with an expressionless face, waiting for Murong JingChen's return.
"Eldest Young Master, you're back." The butler's voice echoed in the large room.
After entering the old house, Murong Jingchen felt a bit stifled. He tugged at the tie on his neck and stepped inside.
"Dad …"
"Look at what you've done."
Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Rong Chen threw the newspaper he was holding onto his face.
Murong Jingchen was already used to this, so he lowered his head to pick up the newspaper.
Shockingly, the words "Schumann escaped from marriage, Murong Group is shamed" were written on the newspaper. The more he read, the more embarrassed he got.
"For a woman like that, it's fine if you don't want her, but you actually went to the hospital to visit her. Why do you still want to marry her?"
Not giving Murong Jingchen the chance to explain, Mu Rong Chen directly launched into the conversation and asked in a tough tone.
"This is my problem, you don't have to worry about it."
"What did you say?" "Unfilial son, do you know what the people outside think of our Mu Rong family?" "Those who don't know, think that my Mu Rong family has declined and needs to rely on a small company called the Shu Group."
"I will handle the matter of the corporation. I will definitely not let anything go wrong with it. As for Father, please do not interfere in my matters either. "
Facing Mu Rong Chen's rebuke, Murong Jingchen replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. In any case, in his opinion, no matter what he did, he wouldn't be satisfied.
"Good, now that you have hardened your wings, you actually dare to talk to me like that."
Hearing Murong Jingchen's lack of respect for him, Mu Rong Chen felt that his dignity had been challenged, especially when he saw Murong Jingchen acting like this. He felt like a clown, no matter what he did, no one dared to look at him.
"Puff …"
Mu Rong Chen threw a porcelain cup in his hand towards Murong Jingchen. Murong Jingchen didn't dodge and just stood there, accepting Mu Rong Chen's anger. Hot water flowed from his hand and a red mark appeared.
"You're not fit to stay at the company."
In his eyes, Murong Jingchen was a chess piece that he could use to gain a foothold in the company. As long as he could regain his position as the CEO, then what did Murong Jingchen count as?
"Father, what do you think I did wrong?"
Without a hint of pain on his face, Murong Jingchen lightly said.
"You pushed our Murong Group to the forefront of public opinion for a woman, causing our company's stock to fall. That's it, do you think you're still fit to stay in the company?"
Heh! Murong Jingchen had always known that Mu Rong Chen wasn't satisfied with him stealing his position as the CEO. He wanted to drag him down, but he never thought about why Murong Xi would rather give him the CEO position than his living son.
"Public opinion will only let our corporation know more about it. As for the stocks you mentioned, that would only be within the normal range."
Mu Rong Chen didn't expect Murong Jingchen to be so tactful and had solved all his questions one by one.
"In any case, this matter has already affected the group, and the board has some complaints. You have to give them an explanation."
"Oh ~ I didn't know that my father was still in contact with the board members."
Murong Jingchen's eyes widened slightly. Ever since Murong Xi had handed the corporation to him, he had gradually wiped out all of Mu Rong Chen's influence. Now, it seemed that some people didn't want to be left alone anymore?
"Who … Who said I'm connected to them?"
Mu Rong Chen, who accidentally exposed himself, said nervously. He had spent a lot of effort and energy in order to get back to the group. It wasn't easy for him to get into contact with the board of directors.
"So who did my father want me to answer to?"
Since Mu Rong Chen denied interacting with the board of directors, he naturally had to make the best of it.
"Give me an explanation, I'm a shareholder in the Murong Group after all."
Mu Rong Chen shouted, unwilling to be suppressed by Mu Rong Jing Chen.
"If I remember correctly, father, your current shares seem to still be in grandfather's hands."
Although Murong Xi felt that his son was disappointing, he still didn't finish the job. He still gave Mu Rong Chen his share, but this share could only be given to him after he passed away. Therefore, in name, Mu Rong Chen was still a shareholder.
"So what? Don't you recognize it?"
This was what Mu Rong Chen hated the most. Not only did that old thing restrict his power in the group, he even had his share in the group. It was truly hateful!
"Since the shares are still with grandfather, I will naturally go and find grandfather for an explanation, but …" But the condition is that Grandpa wants me to give him an explanation! "
Murong Jingchen answered without missing a beat.
"How dare you!"
The flustered and exasperated Mu Rong Chen never thought that Murong Jingchen would actually dare to bring Murong Xi out. If that old man knew about this, then his efforts would be in vain.
"Since father has nothing more to say, then I'll take my leave first."
Seeing that Mu Rong Chen wasn't going to make any more trouble, Murong Jingchen left without looking back.
