Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 624: The Awakening of the Old Crocodile (7)

When talking about his granddaughter, Director Liu felt helpless.

This woman, upon seeing a man, seed eager to offer everything from her household, just like Xiao Family’s foolish third daughter, Shuju, completely manipulated by Lin Jiale.

He was unwilling to see Xiaoliu turn into soone like Shuju. It truly was a debt of emotions, owed from a previous life. No matter how much the parents and elders said, it was all in vain. Perhaps for this reason, when Shuju had said she wanted to marry Lin Jiale, Xiao Jianming didn’t utter a word of objection, just letting her marry if she wished.

In fact, this was also good, so that Shuju could realize on her own whether her parents were right or she was. Ultimately, people had to experience hardships to understand growth.

There was no need to ntion the marriages of the other Xiao daughters except for the eldest, Shui—none of them were ever looked upon favorably by others. However, unexpectedly, Xiao Jianming, who seed to never ddle in his daughters’ marriages, personally thwarted his son’s autonomous marriage.

Director Liu could only think like everyone else that Xiao Jianming, despite his humble origins, still preferred wealth over poverty. Thus, he did not care if his daughters married rich n, but his son must never marry a daughter from a poor family.

Thinking over and over, Director Liu suddenly found his mind in disarray today, unlike his usual peace of mind. As a result, he was sowhat resentful towards the tardy Kang father and son.

Had Kang Junjia and his group appeared as expected, he wouldn’t be feeling so uneasy now, as if sitting on pins and needles, fearing sothing he could never have anticipated might happen.

As he sat on the couch, the telephone beside him suddenly rang, startling him.

He furrowed his brows.

The secretary walked over to answer the phone for him. It was a call from the company, and moreover, from the HR departnt. After hanging up, the secretary said to Director Liu, "The company has called for an imdiate board eting. Since Miss Xiao has been out of sight, the company can’t operate without a leader."

This had been a topic of private discussions among many; Shui had said she was out trying to secure funds to help the company through hard tis, but after all, as the nominal head of Changda, she couldn’t just not be present at the company.

All directors harbored dissatisfaction and grievances about this, yet, strangely, no one dared to be the first to suggest impeaching Shui.

The reason was simple; everyone still harbored so fear towards the man lying in the hospital, who seed as good as dead. They feared this king-like man might suddenly co back to life one day to discipline those who had mistreated his daughter.

Now that the stalemate was broken, which director had suddenly grown bold?

Director Liu raised an eyebrow, his eyes clouded with questions.

Nowadays, most people in the boardroom were his n. Anything they did, they had to report and consult him first before making a move.

The secretary said, "I don’t know who it is, but HR ntioned that because there are so issues in the company and the young Miss is absent, soone needs to make decisions. Hence, the directors might have been asked to discuss and give advice."

"Alright," said Director Liu, rising. This was a good opportunity to win over the hearts of so base level employees as well.

He got into the car and headed to Changda headquarters. On the way, he instructed his secretary to call Kang Junjia again. Kang Junjia’s phone was still turned off.

Director Liu’s brow furrowed repeatedly, and in frustration, he cursed rudely: "Damned fools! If I see them again, I’ll cut out their tongues.

If you don’t have integrity, then don’t open your mouth to make others wait.
