C671 - Money Over Love

Playvolume00:05/00:44TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 671 - Money Over Love

The first article was about the Mao family providing financial assistance to Long Hui so that he could purchase 5% Long Industries shares under his name to add to the 2.5% he already owned before for a total of 7.5% shares. This was the same shares that Qiao Yu failed to purchase for Iris due to the seller’s prejudice against her caused by her past reputation as a good-for-nothing, self-important, spoiled brat.

The article also implied that the real reason Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue separated was not because she cheated on him with Lin Yehan but because he wanted more Long Industries shares and Mao Qiuyue’s family could give it to him. His final decision was to abandon Jiang Ying Yue and essentially sell himself to Mao Qiuyue in exchange for the 5% shares.

Long Hui was the one who chose money over love, not Jiang Ying Yue.

After skimming through the article, Iris and Jin Liwei clicked on the next one. It was a tabloid story consisting primarily of intimate still photos of Long Hui and Mao Qiuyue taken from property surveillance cameras from cafés, restaurants, parking lots, and most damning of all, hotels.

The date stamps on some of the still photos were from when Long Hui and Jiang Ying Yue were still engaged. Granted, those photos were from cafés and restaurants, not hotels, so there was no concrete proof at this point that the two had sexual relations, but it was already apparent that Mao Qiuyue was already acting clingy to Long Hui even then. She could be seen always hugging his arm and pressing her watermelon-sized plastic boobs to his side. Long Hui’s expression didn’t show any emotion but it was a fact thathe allowed the woman to press herself against him in an intimate manner when he was still engaged to another woman during that time.

These photos were a huge contrast to the evidence Lin Yehan provided earlier where it showed in the hospital and mall surveillance videos that he and Jiang Ying Yue kept an appropriate distance from each other at all times.

The other photos of Long Hui and Mao Qiuyue were taken after he and Jiang Ying Yue separated. He was already engaged to Mao Qiuyue at this point. They were shown engaging in intimate acts such as hugging and kissing at hotel lobbies and hallways and even parking lots. The tabloid promised that there more scandalous photos but they were unable to post online because they couldn’t pass censorship rules. This statement only fired up the readers’ imaginations as to what kind of scandalous photos were not shown.

Iris reached over and scrolled down to the bottom of the story for the readers’ comments. As expected, the majority was condemning Long Hui.

"Ah, they’re from the Slippers Army," Iris mumbled after seeing a number of mighty slipper emojis in the comments.

Ketchup had informed her a few days ago that Zhou Mei’er (CaptainBlackStar) planned on organizing a group, mostly from the Slippers Army, to head to the courthouse in order to support Jiang Ying Yue, who the Black Stars remembered as Iris’ former bodyguard and now friend. And also, they planned to attack Long Hui by throwing stinky mighty slippers at him, especially after the audio and video evidence of him being violent towards Jiang Ying Yue in front of their son was revealed.

Fortunately, Feng Wang (MrsLovePhantom) and her friends, the other posh ladies (JJNumbers1-3Fan) managed to stop Zhou Mei’er in time. They reasoned that it wouldn’t be good for Iris’ image if her official fan club, the Black Stars, got involved in the custody case which was already receiving wide media coverage.

Iris was relieved upon hearing about it and silently thanked Feng Wan and the other madams. However, it wasn’t because she worried about her image but because she didn’t want her fans to get into trouble with the law, especially because the group originally planned on attacking Long Hui in front of the courthouse.

Back to the present, she and Jin Liwei continued reading the other news articles and the readers’ comments. Public opinion was finally shifting to favour Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan. People began drawing their own conclusions with the most popular one being that Long Hui made the fake cheating allegations against Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan in order to hide his own affair with his current fiancée, Mao Qiuyue.

It could be seen that Lin Yehan’s actions was already beginning to bear fruit. Although public opinion was generally still mixed at this point, those who felt confused about who to believe were leaning more towards Lin Yehan because first of all, he looked gentle and trustworthy. Allowing himself to be interviewed and telling his own side of the story with his own voice on TV was working wonders.

Second of all, the fact that he was an agricultural tycoon and was actually wealthier and more influential than Deputy CFO Long Hui and yet still acted polite and humble won him a lot of brownie points from the viewers. He wasn’t flashy at all and looked like a regular person. If the news didn’t reveal that he was actually rich, then the people wouldn’t even know that he was the one producing the food they were eating every single day.

Third of all, a few shooting athletes, both active and retired, came forward to voice out their support for him. Their appearance prompted some to dig up Lin Yehan’s past achievements as a pro shooting athlete who won some national competitions before. If he didn’t retire in order to focus on his agricultural business, he would’ve competed in the Olympics and perhaps even brought honour to the country. Right now, he was a licenced coach who sometimes mentored young aspiring shooting athletes. His students and their parents also stepped forward to vouch for his good moral character.

His name and reputation which were dragged through the mud during the cheating allegations were quickly becoming squeaky clean again. In extension, Jiang Ying Yue’s own name and reputation were also undergoing the same cleansing.

All thanks to Lin Yehan.

C672 - Out To Get You

Chapter 672 - Out To Get You

The next day, the stock prices of Long Industries crashed overnight. Long Hui was summoned for an emergency meeting with all the executives, board of directors, and other important shareholders. He knew that he was in trouble, especially after what they were saying about him on the news. His current image and reputation were in tatters after the cheating allegations shifted from Lin Yehan and Jiang Yingyue to him and Mao Qiuyue instead.

A hysterical Mao Qiuyue called him this morning, yelling and crying because she was also being bashed everywhere just like him. She was accused of being a homewrecker. Fortunately, he was able to calm her down by promising to comfort her with a night-long fuck session tonight before heading to the company. He almost didn’t want to go to work but had no choice because he didn’t want to lose his position to compete in the battle for succession.

Upon arriving at the company, he was welcomed by looks of judgment and contempt. His jaw tightened as anger filled him, but he controlled himself and walked faster while looking straight ahead and not meeting anyone’s gaze.

"Good morning, Deputy CFO Long," some people still greeted him.

To him, however, it sounded like they were mocking him, so he only nodded at them stiffly with a cold expression before walking away even faster.

"Wow. What a jerk. And I thought so highly of him before. How the mighty has fallen! Yes, he’s President Long’s eldest son but it turns out that he’s not automatically given shares. He has to buy the shares but can’t afford it, so he pimps himself out to a rich woman. What’s the difference between him and a gigolo?"

"It’s no wonder that he lost custody of his son. I feel so sorry for Miss Jiang. She really suffered the most during the custody battle just because she came from a normal background and got pregnant outside marriage."

"To be honest, I also condemned Miss Jiang before but now that I know that it was actually Deputy CFO Long who cheated first and did her wrong, I really feel bad for her. It’s so unfair that she had to suffer fake cheating allegations with an innocent man when she was actually the one who was cheated on. Poor woman!"

These people spoke in whispers but Long Hui still managed to hear them. He wanted to lash out at them, to scold them, to punish them for badmouthing him.

’Endure,’ he told himself. ’Focus on your goal—to succeed Father and become the next head of the clan, and most importantly, Long Industries. Once you successfully obtain your goal, all of these nobodies who dared disrespect you today will one day need to bow their heads down to you. Then you can kick them out of the company.’

He immediately felt better after his pep talk to himself. Ignoring the employees gossiping about him, he hurried to the conference room upstairs, encountering some of the board members and executives along the way. Most of them still greeted him like usual but he could see that they were looking at him differently. Some ignored him completely, while a handful of his closest colleagues reached out to him and tried to console him.

"I’m alright. Please don’t worry," he reassured them, trying to present a confident front.

"I saw your father, the President, earlier. His expression didn’t look good. Scary. I hope that you prepared a good explanation today. I’ll try to help you out as much as I can in the meeting later. Just be ready because you’re gonna have it tough."

Long Hui took a deep breath before nodding. He managed to look calm on the outside but the truth was he was shaking on the inside.

"Eldest Brother, how are you?" a familiar voice greeted him from behind.

He turned and saw his half-brother, Long Jian, looking fresh and polished in his crisp business suit. Long Jian just arrived together with the COO.

Long Hui greeted the COO before his brother. "I’m alright."

"Are you really? I was overcome with worry when I saw the news."

Long Jian’s tone was filled with brotherly worry but Long Hui saw mocking in his eyes. Long Hui gritted his teeth but forced himself to smile, knowing that his brother was the COO’s current protégé. "Thank you, Brother. Don’t worry too much about me."

Long Hui wanted this half-brother of his to leave him alone, finding him more and more annoying by the day because Long Jian always performed all of his assigned tasks well, even going so far as to achieve results beyond what was expected of him. The COO couldn’t stop praising him. Even Long Tengfei couldn’t hide the approval and pride in his eyes whenever he looked at his second son. However, Long Jian didn’t leave him alone.

"I heard that there are some board members who are demanding your resignation. Please be careful, Eldest Brother. They’re out to get you," Long Jian whispered to him.

To others, like the COO who was listening to their conversation, it sounded like Long Jian was giving a kind warning to his brother. But Long Hui knew that Long Jian was enjoying the precarious situation he was in.

"Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind," he forced himself to say with a smile, only barely managing to stop himself from hissing.

After a few minutes of faking a close brotherly bond in front of the COO, Long Jian and his mentor, the COO, finally left him alone. Then he saw the two elders, Long Jufang and Long Meng, who just arrived. The elders were also shareholders so they had the right to attend the meeting.

Long Jufang snorted in derision when their eyes met before heading to a group of other shareholders. On the other hand, Long Meng gave him an encouraging smile and approached him.

"You’re your father’s eldest son, so don’t worry about being fired. You should be fine," she assured him.

"I heard that some board members want my resignation," he said, finally showing a hint of anxiety to his allied elder.

Chapter 673 - Unexpected Appearance

Long Meng didn’t reply immediately but that was enough for Long Hui to confirm that Long Jian told the truth earlier about some board members wanting his resignation. His anxiety intensified until he almost felt like suffocating.

"Calm down, Young Master Hui," Long Meng told him in a low but firm voice. "You’ll be fine. We have our own allies in this meeting, you’ll see."

He nodded and took a few deep breaths until he finally managed to calm himself again. Indeed, the most important thing for him to do at the moment was to keep his composure. He needed to demonstrate to everyone that he had the ability to keep a cool head in times of overwhelming pressure which was an extremely important requirement to become the head of the company.

Everyone filed inside the large conference room and took their seats. The meeting was scheduled to start in five minutes but not everyone was present yet. There were still people arriving.

Long Hui sat between Long Meng and his superior, the CFO. Directly opposite them sat Long Jian and the COO. They sat close to the head of the table where his father would be sitting once he arrived. Soon, everyone had arrived except for the President-CEO, Long Tengfei. Long Hui took this time to mentally practice how he was going to defend himself against the attacks he expected to be thrown at him shortly.

Two minutes before the scheduled time for the meeting, the door opened and Long Tengfei entered. His right-hand man, Cao Guang, followed closely behind him like always. However, it was the unexpected figure walking beside Long Tengfei that surprised many in the conference room.

Long Hui’s expression immediately turned ugly when he saw who it was. It took a few seconds before he was able to smooth out his expression to an impassive one. Fortunately, almost everyone’s attention was on the unexpected new arrival so they didn’t notice his unbecoming expression.

However, Long Jian noticed and smirked before he, too, smoothed out his own expression.

"Good morning, President Long!"

Long Tengfei nodded. "Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning, Xiulan." Long Jian was the first one to greet Iris who arrived with their father.

She flashed everyone her brightest smile, almost blinding them with her breathtaking beauty. It didn’t matter if it was male or female. They all found themselves affected by her. She looked fresh and glowing in a vibrant violet business dress. The dress itself was simple and conservative, yet when Iris wore it, it transformed into a high-fashion runway showpiece. Her accessories were minimal and her high heels were lower than usual. Her entire outfit was very business-appropriate, but for some reason, it felt like she was dressed to perform in a grand concert.

"Good morning, Big Brother Jian," she greeted back. "Oh, right. I should call you Deputy COO Long when we’re in the company. Please excuse me."

Long Jian waved a hand. "Big Brother Jian is fine. There’s no need to be so formal between us. We’re siblings, after all."

"Yes, we are."

Long Hui clenched his hands under the table as he watched his half-brother and half-sister chatting with each other and acting as if they were very close. What grated him was that the two were acting as if he didn’t exist when he was the eldest brother!

"What is the Young Miss doing here?" Long Meng whispered beside him, so that nobody other than him could hear her.

"She’s also a shareholder and has the right to attend this meeting," he replied, immediately knowing the answer despite being surprised at her sudden, unexpected appearance just a few seconds ago.

"Ah, right. I’ve forgotten that she owns 5%." Long Meng glanced down and saw his clenched hands under the table. "Young Master, please don’t worry too much. The young miss might be a shareholder but what does she know about the inner workings of the company? She doesn’t understand the work culture here, so she only holds very little power on her own. She won’t be able to do anything against you here."

"You’re right."

Iris went on to greet the other people. Most greeted her back with politeness for the reason that she was a shareholder, if not because she was the President-CEO’s daughter.

Some, however, didn’t bother to hide their displeasure at her presence. They were the old-fashioned people who still held negative impressions of her from her past reputation as an unreasonable, selfish, conceited, spoiled brat. The previous owner of the 5% shares who refused to sell to her, eventually choosing to sell to Long Hui instead, belonged to this particular group. Iris’ expression didn’t change. She didn’t give a whit about these people.

Two looked extremely excited to the point that they were almost visibly vibrating with happiness. Iris tilted her head to the side, feeling confused by their reaction because she didn’t remember meeting these two people before. What she didn’t know was that they were actually Black Stars, so of course, it was only expected that they were soaring in exhilaration upon meeting their Boss Iris, their queen goddess, in the flesh! If they weren’t in an important business meeting right now, they would have already fangirled and fanboyed over Iris and asked her to sign autographs and take pictures with them before bragging about the unforgettable experience to their fellow Black Stars online. In fact, they were already making plans on doing exactly that after the meeting.

Finally, Iris greeted Long Hui and Elder Long Meng, saving them for the last. Others didn’t bother thinking too much about the order she greeted everyone, assuming that she did it randomly. To Long Hui and Long Meng, however, they believed that she did it intentionally to mock them and tell them that they were at the bottom rung of importance to her.

Well, they were half-correct.

Iris indeed greeted everyone at random but left Long Hui and Long Meng for last because she didn’t want to ruin her mood so quickly and affect her interactions with the others.

Chapter 674 - Good Skill To Have

"Xiulan, sit beside your brother Jian," Long Tengfei said before taking his seat at the head of the table.

Iris obeyed and sat beside Long Jian, not noticing the disappointed expression on Long Jufang’s face who initially intended on inviting her to sit beside him instead.

Long Tengfei checked his wristwatch and announced, "It’s time. Let’s start the meeting."

Everyone knew why the meeting was called today, so nobody beat around the bush.

"Our company’s stock prices crashed overnight. We need to discuss strategies on how to recover as soon as possible," the CFO said.

"Isn’t it because our Deputy CFO did something scandalous that our stock prices crashed?" a board member said in a sardonic tone. "He’s the one who caused the problem in the first place so he should be the one to take responsibility and solve it."

"And what do you suggest my deputy do to solve the problem?" the CFO asked.

"Simple. Present his resignation."

"I object!" Long Meng glared at the board member. "What a ridiculous suggestion!"

"Ridiculous? This is the simplest and the most effective solution. I guarantee that our stock prices will recover quickly once he resigns. Want to bet?"

"You!" Long Meng was furious.

"Grandaunt Meng, please calm down." Now it was Long Hui’s turn to whisper calming words to the elder.

The table erupted in great noise as people started talking over each other. One group supported the board member’s idea and demanded for Long Hui’s resignation while another group was in support of him and tried to defend him from the attackers. A neutral group tried to mediate and calm everyone down but to no avail.

"Enough!" Long Tengfei banged his hand on the table, instantly stopping the ruckus. Then he turned his strict eyes on his eldest son. "Deputy CFO Long Hui, do you have anything to say for yourself?"

"Yes, President Long. I do. Please allow me to explain myself."

"Alright. Go ahead."

Long Hui stood up and headed to the presentation area. He was aware that all eyes were on him like stabbing knives. However, he managed to keep his composure and look calm on the outside. His father was looking at him with an unreadable expression as always, but Long Hui could sense his father’s disappointment in him.

Next were his half-siblings. Long Jian managed to look concerned for him, effectively presenting himself as a good brother to those observing. Iris, on the other hand, wore an unreadable expression very similar to their father’s. But Long Hui could imagine the real mocking expressions hiding beneath their fake masks.

He took a few deep breaths and finally started speaking.

"Before anything else, I would like to apologize for all the inconvenience my actions have caused the company and all of you..."

First order of business was a "heartfelt" apology in order to garner sympathy so that they would be more receptive to his explanation and lenient on his current unfortunate situation.

He was able to maintain a delicate balance of remorse for his "carelessness" and determination "not to let it happen again and become a better person".

"Great acting skills. It’s making me a little envious. I have to take acting classes just to improve, but look at him. He’s a natural," Iris commented in a low voice.

Long Jian’s mouth twitched. Fortunately, he was able to stop himself from laughing out loud. "Little Sister, all of us here didn’t get to where we are today without learning some sort of acting skills. It’s one of the most important tacit skills needed to climb the corporate ladder and to keep one’s position."

"Oh. Really? So you’re good in acting, too?"

"Of course. Not to brag but I’m an excellent actor. Better than Long Hui. Remember that I’m not a legitimate child like you or him, so I have to work a hundred times harder just to get to where I am today. Acting skills is very important in order for me to reverse the preconceived notions of people about me being an illegitimate son of the company president."

She nodded. Hearing Long Jian say it like that, Iris thought that he was actually quite an impressive man. After her rebirth as Iris Long, she never felt completely at ease with Long Jian because her intuition told her that he wasn’t exactly how he appeared to be. There was cunningness behind his handsome smile. Another thing was that he had a horrible, ill-behaved mother who often got into fights in public, particularly with Wei Lan.

However, they had become more comfortable chatting with each other ever since they allied together when Long Jian bowed his head to her and Jin Liwei and asked them to help his mother, Zhu Ning, who was currently still in police custody after being framed for the mall bombing. It was actually Long Jian who informed Iris about the meeting today and urged her to come in order to start their plans of kicking Long Hui out of the battle of succession. In addition to this, Long Jian had already started feeding her important information about the inner workings of the company.

"Hmm. If that’s the case, then I guess I need to really improve my acting skills because I now have my own companies," she said.

"Yes. It’s a good skill to have," Long Jian replied.

Iris thought more about it and realized that indeed some acting skills were needed in business. Even her tyrannical darling needed to be on his best behaviour when meeting fellow CEOs of other multinational companies, even when he didn’t like them. She remembered Grandpa Lu complaining about it during one of their lessons.

"I once punched a CEO in the face back in the days because he was a complete asshole who harassed female secretaries! Our company lost billions in a potential partnership because of it but what do I care?! Why should I pretend to like someone when I don’t just to get ahead?! Why?! I want to know! Your Grandfather Jin—I wish you met him, he would’ve loved you too—always called me a hothead! Bah! I’m not a hothead! I’m just true to myself!"

Chapter 675 - Proposed Solution

"That’s why I left all the people matters to your Grandfather Jin because he said that I’m no good with it! That I’m too temperamental, too shameless! Hah! Of course you have to be shameless to make lots of money! But don’t get me wrong, Xiulan my girl. I’m not saying that your Grandfather Jin kissed everyone’s asses to make connections with important people! That would be funny if he did but he DIDN’T! That scoundrel looked so proper and upright but was actually a sly fox inside! Bahahaha! He was the most cunning person your Grandpa Lu knows in my entire life! We always get the best business deals because of his god-level craftiness!

"And now I dumped Jin Corporation to your Liwei so that this old man can enjoy his retired life having lots of fun and waiting for you pinheads to make me lots of great-grandbabies! You’re all so slow! What’s taking you so long?! I want to know!

"Liwei my boy is also good at handling people matters which I hate—bah! He’s very similar to his Grandfather Jin in many aspects. In fact, that boy is also a sly fox inside, so you better be careful, my girl! Oh wait. Too late! You already fell for his trap! Bahahahahaha!!!"

Iris couldn’t help but smile remembering Grandpa Lu’s booming voice as he complained about this aspect in business which he hated—dealing with people he didn’t like. Although she had no clue what the old man meant by his last sentence about her falling into Jin Liwei’s trap, she didn’t mind because she liked listening to his stories of Grandfather Jin and also about her darling.

Her attention returned to the meeting just as Long Hui was finishing his very well-rehearsed yet natural-sounding defence of himself. Basically, he admitted that it was negligence on his part that he allowed the custody case of his son to become so public that it began to affect Long Industries’ image, but cleverly insinuated that the media attention was due to his relation with his sister Iris Long who was a famous celebrity. He said it in an almost careless way, as if it was just an afterthought and not deliberate at all.

"Indeed, a natural actor. If he enters showbiz, he might even win a Best Actor Award," Iris muttered, making Long Jian fight a grin.

His acting was even more impressive because the old-fashioned group who didn’t think highly of her looked like they believed him. They now turned their accusing eyes on Iris.

She ignored them.

"He’s blaming you, Little Sister. Are you angry?" Long Jian asked while looking very entertained.

"No. I already expected that he’ll try something like this because that’s the kind of person he is. In his own eyes, he’s innocent. If something goes wrong, it’s other people’s fault."

The two stopped talking because the COO quietly reprimanded Long Jian.

In the end, Long Hui was able to move some people with his "heartfelt" speech. There were a number of men in the room who experienced something similar to him—separated with a lover and tried to fight for a child’s custody but lost. Family situations like this were always messy, so they could relate to him.

Long Hui also defended the cheating allegations between him and Mao Qiuyue, insisting that it was untrue. His maternal family, the Zhengs, were close to the Maos. He only interacted with Mao Qiuyue in a brotherly capacity when he was still engaged with Jiang Ying Yue. But when they separated, Mao Qiuyue comforted him during his painful heartbreak, eventually causing him to fall for her. According to him, it also wasn’t true that the Maos "bought" him in exchange for the 5% Long Industries shares he recently acquired. He reasoned that Mao Qiuyue insisted on helping him even when he declined her offer numerous times until she eventually managed to persuade him.

"I know that everything looks bad now and I’m sorry for that, but as Long Industries’ Deputy CFO...and also as the President-CEO’s eldest son, I will do everything that I can to solve the problem of our company’s stock prices crashing. My resignation is not the answer! In fact, it’s the worst thing to do in this situation because it’ll only signal to everyone that we’re admitting defeat! I humbly suggest that the best course of action is to work together as a team, as family because that’s what we are, in order to remedy our current problem. I’m ready to work day and night every day of the week until we solve this and our company’s stock prices recover!"

Long Meng clapped her hands. Long Hui’s supporters and allies followed suit. However, most chose not to clap because they wanted to gauge Long Tengfei’s position first in this matter. It was difficult for them to know what their company head was thinking based on his expression which remained unreadable.

"Go back to your seat, Deputy CFO Long Hui," Long Tengfei finally spoke again.

Long Hui obeyed and returned beside Long Meng who gave him an encouraging smile. He also felt hopeful because his father’s tone didn’t sound like he was about to fire him. Perhaps he was also able to move his father with his speech. He was hoping he did.

The conference room descended into silence as everyone waited for Long Tengfei to speak first.

"I agree that Deputy CFO Long Hui’s resignation is not the best course of action in this situation," he said.

Long Hui released a big sigh of relief. Elder Long Meng also did the same thing.

"But he still played a big part in causing our current predicament," Long Tengfei continued. "So he will be duly punished. I’ll hand out his punishment later but for now, we should all think of solutions on how to make our stock prices recover as soon as possible."

People began talking again as they offered different solutions, but most of them were shot down as ineffective.

A hand rose up.

"Go ahead, Deputy COO Long Jian," Long Tengfei said. "What’s your proposed solution?"

"My suggestion is simple. Let my sister, the celebrity Iris Long, do her magic!"
