Chapter 915 Financial Report
Zhou Lihao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Jingye still daring to block him.
"Alright! Your wings have grown strong, haven't they!"
Although Zhou Lihao was angry, he didn't resort to violence again.
Instead, he looked at Zhuo Songhu, who was being helped up, and spat, "You all remember this for me. Without Haoneng Construction Group, you are nothing. Without me, Zhou Lihao, would you have the status you have today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
Zhou Lihao's words were incredibly hurtful.
However, Zhou Lihao didn't stop there.
He continued, "Remember my words, when you're a dog, act like one. If you dare to suddenly jump up and bite your master..."
At this point, Zhou Lihao's gaze fell disdainfully upon Zhuo Songhu.
He said, word by word, "I will show you what fate awaits such a person!"
The threat in Zhou Lihao's tone was obvious.
Among the directors present, some watched coldly, while others looked nervous.
Of course, there were also those who followed Zhou Lihao, fawning over him and saying, "Brother Lihao, why dirty your hands by beating such a person? Just leave it to me!"
The one speaking was Zhou Lufeng.
Zhou Lufeng's ingratiating demeanor made Zhu Jingye feel utterly disgusted.
He was the most parasitic existence in Haoneng Construction Group.
He was never around when problems arose, yet he appeared now!
It was only because Zhou Lufeng was from the Zhou family, otherwise...
Just then, Zhuo Songhu, who had been punched, spoke.
Zhuo Songhu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "Chairman Zhou, you are right. We are indeed all dogs of Haoneng Construction Group, dogs of the Zhou family, and dogs of you, Chairman Zhou."
"However, you've forgotten one thing: even a cornered dog will bite!"
"We people are just trying to make a living, to provide a living for the workers."
"We've swallowed our pride for so many years, so I'll take this punch."
"Today, no one is here to argue. We are here for the future development of the company. If you haven't had enough of hitting, keep going. If you're done, shall we begin the board meeting?"
Every word Zhuo Songhu spoke was like a chisel carving into the hearts of everyone present.
Zhou Lufeng's expression changed, and he suddenly rushed forward.
"Brother Lihao, I'll deal with this ungrateful old man for you!"
However, Zhuo Songhu did not allow him to act this time.
Seeing Zhou Lufeng approach, Zhu Jingye was about to block him, but was forcefully pulled aside by someone behind him.
The one pulling Zhu Jingye was Zhuo Songhu!
Zhuo Songhu weighed at least two hundred jin, and his physique was far more robust than Zhou Lufeng's.
With a kick like a wild bull, he directly kicked Zhou Lufeng in the calf.
"Bang!"
Everyone heard a dull thud and saw Zhou Lufeng fly backward, sent flying by the kick.
If it weren't for the conference table blocking him, he might have been kicked out of the room entirely.
Zhuo Songhu sneered, "What do you think you are, kid? Daring to fight me?"
Zhuo Songhu had disliked Zhou Lufeng for a long time.
Since he was going to break ties with the Zhou family today anyway, he would teach this ungrateful brat a lesson first.
"When I joined the company, you were still playing in the mud! How dare you show off in front of me? Haven't you asked around?"
As Zhuo Songhu spoke, he moved in front of Zhou Lufeng.
His large frame pressed down on Zhou Lufeng, and he rained punches onto Zhou Lufeng's face.
In an instant, Zhou Lufeng's face was already covered in injuries.
The entire room could only hear two sounds.
One was the sound of Zhuo Songhu's fists landing, and the other was Zhou Lufeng's screams.
Zhou Lihao watched all this with a livid expression.
This Zhuo Songhu, who used to act like a lapdog in front of him!
How dare he lay hands on Zhou Lufeng in front of him today.
Although Zhou Lufeng was not from his branch, he still represented the Zhou family's honor.
"Enough!"
Zhou Lihao roared through gritted teeth. Zhuo Songhu slowly stopped his punches and kicks and got off Zhou Lufeng.
After wiping the blood from his hands with a tissue, Zhuo Songhu looked at Zhou Lihao and said, "The chairman has spoken, so I'll let him off the hook."
No one expected the beginning of today's meeting to be so brutal.
The usually cheerful Zhuo Songhu had become so ferocious.
Only Zhu Jingye had a faint smile on his face.
Zhuo Songhu!
He was a formidable figure back in the day. After joining the company, Zhu Jingye thought he had changed, but he hadn't expected him to have been biding his time.
Truly a smiling tiger.
Zhou Lihao looked at Zhou Lufeng's secretary beside him, "What are you standing there for? Take him to the medical room!"
Zhou Lufeng's secretary was in no condition to carry someone. He was trembling with fear from Zhuo Songhu's sudden outburst.
He wasn't even sure if he could leave this conference room!
With the help of security personnel from outside, Zhou Lufeng was then taken to the company's medical room.
Although the board meeting was missing one person, no one raised any objections.
"Zhou Lufeng's vote will be handled by his secretary, any objections?"
Although Zhou Lihao said this, anyone with a brain could see that.
That vote was effectively in Zhou Lihao's hands.
After everyone was seated, Zhu Jingye fired his first shot.
"There are major omissions in this year's financial report. Although our company is not publicly listed, as an independent director, I have the right to hire a third party for accounting audits."
Zhu Jingye's first shot was aimed directly at Zhou Lihao.
The finances within Haoneng Construction Group were extremely chaotic.
There were countless internal embezzlers, and the largest gathering place for these rats was in the finance department.
The head of finance at Haoneng Construction Group was Zhou Lihao's confidant.
They were stealing from themselves, and Zhou Lihao would never let anyone else get involved in financial matters.
Everyone harbored resentment.
More importantly, most people had only heard rumors and dared not investigate casually, for fear of incurring Zhou Lihao's displeasure.
Zhu Jingye's actions were also an attempt to win over some swing votes.
As long as they were stakeholders, who would want problems at the source!
The head of finance was not a member of the board of directors, but he was present as an observer.
Seeing that Zhu Jingye was directly targeting him, he jumped up from his chair, "Damn it, you surnamed Zhu, you want to make an example of me? What evidence do you have?"
"Let a third-party company conduct an audit? Fine! Go ahead and find one! I'd like to see who dares to do it!"
Zhou Lihao, at the head table, frowned at the sight and shouted, "All of you, sit down!"
