Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 184: A Storm in the Board of Directors

"Okay, I understand. You can go out." Huo Chenjun said in a low voice.

Su Xianyun closed the office door and went out.

The board of directors met at 2 p.m.

In the spacious and solemn conference room of the company's top management, the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the polished conference table.

The meeting has entered a critical stage and various topics are being discussed in an orderly manner.

However, when the topic touched upon Mr. Huo's upcoming wedding, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Director Wu, who had been silent the entire time, slowly pushed up his glasses, cleared his throat, and cast his gaze towards Mr. Huo, who was sitting in the main seat. He asked solemnly, "Mr. Huo, will your marriage have any impact on the company? How can you ensure the company's future stability? After all, last month, the Huo Group's stock price plummeted for a day due to rumors that the Tanghai Group was on the verge of bankruptcy."

As soon as Manager Wu finished speaking, the conference room seemed to become quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on President Huo and Manager Wu.

As everyone knows, this issue is very sensitive and also concerns the future direction of the company.

President Huo raised his head slightly, his eyes as sharp as two swords, shooting straight at Manager Wu.

His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, and he said coldly: "So what do you mean?"

"You should write a written document to ensure the Huo Group's profits for next year," Manager Wu responded.

Mr. Huo remained calm, "Manager Wu, your request is truly interesting. Do you want me to write you a letter of guarantee, promising that after I get married, the company will prosper and flourish before you'll be reassured? Since you're in charge of sales, do you also need to write a letter of guarantee guaranteeing a certain sales target for next year?"

Manager Wu was caught off guard by Mr. Huo's sudden question, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

But he was, after all, one of the company's founding directors, so he quickly composed himself, bowed slightly, and tried to explain, "Mr. Huo, you misunderstood me. I raised this question entirely out of concern for the company's long-term development. After all, many of us shareholders worked with your grandfather back then."

Manager Wu thought for a moment and continued, "I'm already over sixty and about to retire. I'm doing this for the sake of the group. Right now, the outside world is paying close attention to your marriage, and all sorts of rumors are circulating. Under these circumstances, we have to proceed with caution."

President Huo snorted coldly and leaned back in his chair, his eyes still fixed on Manager Wu. He said, "Manager Wu, I understand your caution, but don't you think your current concerns are a bit unnecessary? The company's development is based on a clear strategy, not on groundless speculation and conjecture. Besides, Tanghai Group has now resumed normal operations."

Manager Wu frowned slightly, seemingly disagreeing with Mr. Huo's statement. He continued, "Mr. Huo, we understand what you're saying. However, your marriage isn't just a matter between the two of you. In the business world, any disturbance can trigger a chain reaction."

President Huo stood up, his eyes sweeping across everyone in the conference room. He shouted, "Risk? What business decision is risk-free? As for the company's future development and stability, I've always had clear plans and goals. If we don't even have this level of confidence and determination, how can we even talk about growth and development?"

Mr. Huo's words were powerful, raising the tension in the meeting room. The other directors looked at each other, some nodding slightly in agreement with Mr. Huo's opinion, while others still looked worried.

Seeing Mr. Huo's resolute attitude, Manager Wu couldn't continue to dwell on the topic. He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Mr. Huo, we all see your determination. I raised this issue only because I hope you can more carefully consider the various factors involved. After all, the future of the company is our shared responsibility."

Mr. Huo took a deep breath, slowly sat down, his eyes becoming calmer. He said, "Manager Wu, I understand your intentions. But I hope everyone can take a long-term view and not be constrained by the rumors and concerns in front of them. Do you want me to be single for the rest of my life? To be a bachelor forever?"

At this time, another director, Zhang, tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Huo, we don't want to interfere with your relationship. I want to suggest that you just find a girlfriend and hold an engagement ceremony or a wedding ceremony, but don't get a marriage certificate. This way, the risks are much smaller."

"Or, you can compromise and wait for a year or two to see what happens to Tanghai Group next?" Director Sun said.

"Marriage is Mr. Huo's personal matter. It's not your turn to decide. You're going a bit too far." Vice President Bo Lizhan, who rarely speaks, said slowly at this moment.

Mr. Huo's originally straight back gradually tensed up, and the expression on his face was gloomy, like the oppressive dark clouds before a storm.

He raised his hand slightly and slowly loosened the tightly tied tie at his collar.

He knew very well that he did not want to lose Tang Xiaqing. She was not only his lover, but her agility had long made his heart beat fast and was the softest part of his heart.

Mr. Huo also warned himself that career cannot be dominated by emotions, otherwise it would be dangerous.

However, President Huo vaguely felt that someone was plotting against him behind today's incident. After all, everything in Tanghai Group was stable now.

Mr. Huo plans to refrain from any rash actions until the truth is revealed.

One director seemed to want to argue, but just as he was about to speak, President Huo raised his hand and waved lightly, interrupting him.

"I know everyone has their own considerations," Mr. Huo continued in a low voice. "Today's meeting ends here. Adjourn."
