The third uncle said with a straight face, "Sit down."
Huo Rou glared at her third uncle Huo Yong, "Dad, this is the first time Sister Qingqing is here, can't you be more enthusiastic?"
The third uncle is a typical daughter slave. He forced a smile and said: "Qingqing, aren't you supposed to go to the press conference today? Why do you have time to come to me?"
"To be honest, Third Uncle, I came here to ask for something." Lu Qingqing said sincerely.
The third uncle frowned, "You are talking about your two paintings, right? Don't worry, I will send the paintings back to you later."
Although it hurts a bit, Huo Yong is a reasonable person. He will never take anything that is not his own, unless it is given to him by someone else.
"Uncle San misunderstood, I'm not here for painting today."
"Then what can you ask me for?" Huo Yong asked in confusion.
Lu Qingqing didn't speak, her eye circles turned red first.
Huo Yong hated this the most. When Huo Shasha was still alive, she was the most loved by Huo Yong.
Now that Huo Yong saw Lu Qingqing who looked the same as Shasha, he couldn't help but think of Huo Shasha again.
"What trouble have you encountered? Tell Uncle San quickly."
Lu Qingqing choked up and told how her second uncle Huo Xian prevented her from returning home, and how she made a deal with Gong Xu for Huo Yifei.
The third uncle's expression changed immediately when he heard this.
"No wonder Gong Xu bribed me with a broken painting last time to prevent Huo Hengyu from entering the board of directors. In fact, if he didn't tell me, I couldn't let him enter the board of directors. An illegitimate child also wants to join us.
To sit on equal footing is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world."
Then, Huo Yifei also said angrily: "Third uncle, you said that my sister has been living abroad for so many years and suffered so much. Why is it so difficult to return home?"
"It's not that the second uncle is messing around. You said Sister Qingqing finally came back. Why is he causing trouble?" Huo Rou interrupted. "Dad, the uncle and brother Xuancheng are confused. You can't be confused. You must keep it."
My third brother is on the board of directors, did you hear that?"
Huo Yong glared at Huo Rou. The water here was very deep. He was actually not willing to wade into this muddy water, but after all the talk, he had to make a statement.
So he said: "My second brother really didn't do a very good job in this matter. You said that everything was fine these years without Qingqing coming back. Now that he has finally come back, he has done the same thing."
Then, Huo Yong banged his head hard and said, "You said my head started to hurt again. I'm really old and useless."
"Dad, you are only in your forties, why are you so old?" Huo Rou glared at him and pretended to be sick at the critical moment. "I think you just don't dare to provoke the second uncle. The entire Huo family, only the third brother.
He has a sense of justice, but everyone else is talking nonsense, and they are all very cowardly."
Huo Rou pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Did you talk to your dad like that?" Huo Yong's face dropped, "Let me tell you, it's not that I don't dare to provoke your second uncle, it's that I don't want to be on the same level with him. If you say he's being shameless, I can do that too.
Is it shameless to play with him?"
"What's wrong? He's not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Huo Rou winked at Lu Qingqing, "Sister Qingqing, do you think what I said is right?"
"Third uncle, sister Huo Rou is right. Our Huo family has been on a decline over the years because the Huo family is not united. I think if this continues, it will be difficult for the Huo family to achieve greater glory."
Lu Qingqing sighed, "My dad and eldest brother always think about changing the status quo through marriage. In fact, this is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. The Gong family is not a fool. Even if I marry, the Gong family will not be the same as the Huo family. Everyone wants to get what they want.
It’s just what we need, so the problem solved by marriage is temporary. If you want long-term development, you still have to rely on your own strength.”
Huo Yong didn't expect Lu Qingqing to see so clearly, and couldn't help but look at her differently.
"Qingqing is right. I don't agree with this method of marriage. How can marriage be a trivial matter? Who doesn't know what Gong Xu's virtues are? I really don't know what eldest brother thinks."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Qingqing asked the driver to bring in the paintings he had retrieved from Huo Xian.
"Third uncle, this is the painting I asked someone to get back from my second uncle. Now I give it to my third uncle as a meeting gift for my niece." Lu Qingqing said.
Huo Yong was flattered, "You kid, your third uncle should give you a meeting gift."
"I am a junior. I should have come to visit my third uncle long ago. I have been stuck with various things. I hope my third uncle won't blame me." Lu Qingqing said very politely, "As well as the two paintings in your hand, I also asked the lawyer to change them.
Having it in your name is a little tribute from this junior."
Huo Yong had a look of shock in his eyes. These paintings together were worth at least a billion. He thought that Lu Qingqing would pay special attention to money since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would be so generous?
"Then what do you want Uncle San to do for you?" Huo Yong felt that Lu Qingqing must be here for the re-election of the vice chairman of the board of directors.
At this time Huo Yifei spoke.
"Third Uncle, actually Qingqing came here to beg you on my behalf. I hope you can uphold justice in the re-election of the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. After all, if Third Uncle takes my seat, I won't say anything.
But if I were replaced by the second uncle, I was worried that he would be too selfish and would bring disaster to the Huo family."
Huo Yifei then brought out the evidence that his second uncle had misappropriated the company's money to speculate in stocks, and placed it in front of Huo Yong.
Huo Yong's face changed slightly. In fact, he had known these things for a long time, but now that the company was in charge of the company, he just turned a blind eye.
But when Huo Yifei put the evidence in front of him, he could only act indignant, and for the sake of those paintings, he promised that he would uphold justice.
Seeing that their goal was achieved, Lu Qingqing and Huo Yifei stood up and left.
After the two left, Huo Rou asked Huo Yong if he would help.
Huo Yong said tactfully, "Actually, I'm not helping. I can only say that I'm following the trend."
"How?" Huo Rou was curious.
"Because as soon as your cousin comes back, Dafang is equivalent to getting the inheritance left by your grandfather, which includes 20% of the shares of the Huo family, plus the shares in the hands of Huo Xuancheng and Huo Yifei.
, a total of half of the Huo family's equity, why do you think your second uncle can compete with others? And how can his unsatisfactory son compare with the four brothers of your eldest uncle's family? "
Huo Yong felt that Lu Qingqing's return would make the big house even more powerful, and with the blessing of the Gong family, it would be a good time to watch.
"Dad, I think it's a pity that Sister Qingqing marries Gong Xu."
"I see she didn't even go to the press conference today. I'm afraid the marriage will be blown."
On the way back, Huo Yifei asked Lu Qingqing what he planned for today's press conference.
Lu Qingqing said that now that the third uncle has settled the matter, she is not afraid that Gong Xu will make trouble with Huo Yifei again. Even if the marriage between the two families is announced today, she still has the agreement to terminate the engagement signed by Gong Xu. In short, she is
No matter what, I will not marry Gong Xu.
At the press conference, Gong Xu was a little anxious waiting. He had made an appointment to arrive at the scene at nine-thirty, but the press conference was about to start at ten o'clock, and Lu Qingqing hadn't arrived yet.
The news from the small manor was that there was a temporary problem with the dress and they were looking for someone to deal with it. The specific problem was not mentioned, which made Gong Xu furious.
Qianzhe actually deliberately soiled the dress to delay time. Lu Qingqing told her that she must delay her arrival at the scene after ten o'clock.
The press conference started on time at ten o'clock, and Huo Xun and Huo Xuancheng were all dressed up to attend.
