Huang Haoran returned to the mourning hall with a heavy heart. When he saw Zhao Qingya looking at him, he suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly lowered his head.

Chapter 0338 My heart suddenly sank

It is a natural reaction for people to feel guilty. Because they feel guilty, they shrink their eyes. Huang Haoran has been feeling unlucky recently. He used to be successful in the stock market, but now he has been attacked repeatedly, causing several stocks he controls to fall sharply. Even the working capital of Jinzhao Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Hongda Group, has been locked up. Now all his private funds are in the stock market and he cannot get out.

Jinzhao Pharmaceutical is a subsidiary under Huang Haoran's charge. With the funds of this subsidiary, he bought many stocks, and within two years, they rose rapidly and accumulated a large amount of personal wealth. The securities market has always been volatile. After Huang Haoran tasted all the benefits, he suddenly became crazy, from the original transfer of part of the funds to the transfer of a large amount of funds, so that now all efforts have failed, and Jinzhao Pharmaceutical has a capital gap of nearly 30 million.

Jinzhao Pharmaceutical operates by recruiting franchisees. The pharmaceutical company provides medicines. In addition to paying franchise fees to Jinzhao Pharmaceutical, franchisees need to purchase goods through Jinzhao Pharmaceutical's supply channels. Therefore, a large amount of supply funds are deposited in Jinzhao's account. In fact, a large amount of this nearly 100 million yuan of funds is actually the franchisees' purchasing funds.

Jinzhao Pharmaceuticals pays pharmaceutical suppliers every quarter, but the payment cycle has now exceeded, so suppliers have gradually realized that something is wrong and started to put pressure on Jinzhao Pharmaceuticals. Jinzhao Pharmaceuticals' financial situation has actually reached the brink of danger.

Jinzhao Pharmaceutical is an important subsidiary of Hongda Group. In the past five years, it has brought nearly 20% of profits to Hongda Group. Once Jinzhao Pharmaceutical encounters problems, it will bring heavy damage to Hongda Group. For a listed group, if the news of the pros and cons spreads, it will be fatal.

However, Huang Haoran did not realize the seriousness of the situation. He was just considering his own situation. If he was found to have misappropriated funds, he would definitely have no place in the Hongda Group in the future.

He must reverse the current situation. One of the solutions is to instigate his mother Zhao Min and Zhao Qingya to seize control of the Hongda Group. If successful, he will become the heir of Hongda, and the deficit of nearly 100 million yuan will be easily solved.

Fang Zhicheng had been accompanying Zhao Qingya these days. Although Zhao Qingya was only a granddaughter, she took on all the affairs of the funeral and sent off the old Buddha smoothly. When everyone left, Zhao Qingya burst into tears in front of Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her softly. No matter how strong a person is, there are soft spots in their hearts.

Back to Zhao Qingya's small apartment, just after entering the door, Zhao Qingya's cell phone rang. After she answered it, she said, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

"Of course there is something. Where are you now? I want to talk to you." Zhao Min asked in a cold tone.

Zhao Qingya sighed, realizing that what was supposed to happen had finally come, and said softly, "I'm in the apartment, why don't you come over?"

About half an hour later, Zhao Min brought Huang Haoran to Zhao Qingya's apartment. When Zhao Min saw Fang Zhicheng there, she showed contempt. Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and remained calm. For a person like Zhao Min, the calmer you are, the more it is a counterattack for her.

Zhao Qingya made the tea. Zhao Min took a sip and said seriously, "Qingya, I came here today to talk to you about who should be in charge of Hongda Group in the future."

Zhao Qingya smiled faintly and said, "Didn't grandma tell me about this before she passed away? All her shares are inherited by me, so I am the major shareholder of Hongda Group. I don't think there is any need to discuss this."

Zhao Min showed sarcasm on her face and said, "Qingya, you think too simply. Let me show you something!" After that, she winked at Huang Haoran, and Huang Haoran took out a brown paper envelope from his purse and took out many agreements from it.

Zhao Qingya took a copy and read it carefully, her face changed slightly. This was a delegation agreement for the right to use shares, which meant that the owner of the shares was willing to hand over his shares to Zhao Min. Zhao Qingya's current shares accounted for 35% of the entire Hongda Group, but if Zhao Min won the right to use the shares of all shareholders, she could still threaten herself.

Zhao Qingya sighed lightly and said unhappily: "Aunt, we are a family, there is no need for you to do this, right?"

Zhao Min advised earnestly, "Qingya, don't think that I don't care about family affection, because I don't think you are capable of shouldering the responsibility of Hongda Group. You are still too young, and even if you are given power, it is easy to lose it. After all, I am older than you and have seen a lot of ups and downs. If you are willing to give up the position of general manager, I still support you as the chairman, and you are still the nominal owner of Hongda Group."

Zhao Qingya's beautiful eyes moved, she laughed dumbly, and said: "I understand what you mean, you want to undermine me?"

Zhao Min nodded and said, "It's not that I'm sidelining you, I'm just letting you take a break. The Hongda Group hasn't been developing smoothly in the past two years under your leadership, especially in e-commerce, which requires a huge amount of money to be invested every year. The imbalance between income and investment is really hard to understand."

Zhao Qingya shook her head and whispered, "Can you let me think about it?"

Zhao Min sensed Zhao Qingya's retreat and smiled, "Of course, but no later than Friday, otherwise I will reveal my cards at the regular board meeting."

After sending Zhao Min away, Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly and said, "People's minds are unpredictable. The old Buddha just passed away, and your aunt is ready to make a move."

Zhao Qingya sighed and said, "My aunt is fine. I'm afraid she's not the only one who's ready to make a move. Hongda Group has many enemies, and I'm afraid many people want to take advantage of the situation."

Fang Zhicheng asked worriedly, "What can I do?"

"Do you have enough money?" Zhao Qingya asked with a smile.

"I don't have it!" For the first time, Fang Zhicheng felt that he had enough desire for money.

"If my guess is correct, starting from tomorrow, Hongda Group will face various risks." Zhao Qingya's eyes showed a trace of determination, "Please wish me to get out of this storm unscathed."

Fang Zhicheng felt powerless. He really wanted to give Zhao Qingya enough help, but unfortunately he was just an ordinary civil servant. Even if he could barely mobilize some funds from the Yuming Film and Television Media Group, it would be difficult to resolve Zhao Qingya's crisis, because what Zhao Qingya needed was a large amount of funds, not just one or two hundred million.

Suddenly, he thought of a solution and whispered his idea to Zhao Qingya's ear. Zhao Qingya was slightly startled, frowned tightly, and smiled bitterly: "This is a strategy of driving away wolves and luring tigers. If it really comes to a critical moment, we can only give it a try."

Zhao Min had just stepped out of the door of the apartment when a man and a woman walked out of a black car not far away. Zhao Min's face changed slightly, knowing that the other party was coming for her, and asked in confusion: "Boss Liu, how did you know I was here?"

Liu Yan smiled slightly and sighed softly: "Sister Zhao, this question is a bit redundant. If you really want to find where someone is, is it difficult?"

Liu Yan is the core figure of the second generation of the Liu family. She is about the same age as Zhao Min. Zhao Min has known her for many years and their relationship is like fire and water. In the same circle, at parties and dinners, it is always either she or me, mainly because Liu Yan and Zhao Min pursued a man together, but ended up scheming and forming a deadly feud.

Liu Yan found Zhao Min, obviously not for any good reason. Zhao Min glanced at Liu Yan coldly and said, "If you have anything to say, just get straight to the point. I'm busy!"

Liu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that Zhao Min was still the same as she was many years ago, too mean and cold by nature. She smiled and said, "No matter how busy you are, I think Sister Zhao has to put it aside, because what I am talking to you about is related to your son's future."

"Ah?" Huang Haoran had met Liu Yan several times and had an inexplicable liking for this woman who was about the same age as his mother. Although Liu Yan was over 50, she was well-maintained, with a smooth face and a voluptuous figure, which even made him tempted. Now that Liu Yan suddenly said that what she was looking for today was related to him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. What on earth was Liu Yan doing

Zhao Min glanced at Huang Haoran, mistakenly thinking that he had some hidden relationship with Liu Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Haoran, are you hiding something from me?"

Huang Haoran smiled bitterly and said, “Mom, don’t think too much. I’m not familiar with Aunt Liu.”

Zhao Min knew her son wouldn't dare lie to her, and thought it might be Liu Yan's attempt to be mysterious, so she said in a deep voice, "Liu Yan, there's no need to hide it. Just tell me what's going on."

Liu Yan smiled and stared at Zhao Min seriously, then sighed, "I think we should get in the car first."

Zhao Min sighed and followed Liu Yan into the car. As for Huang Haoran, he stood outside the car, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs of it in a irritable mood. He was thinking about Liu Yan's arrival, and suddenly realized that it was very likely that the matter of Jinzhao Pharmaceutical was exposed.

Twenty minutes later, the car door was slowly pushed open. After Zhao Min got out of the car, she swung her arm fiercely and slapped Huang Haoran on the left cheek. Huang Haoran was stunned. This was the first time Zhao Min had hit him since he was a child. He could clearly see disappointment and helplessness in Zhao Min's eyes!

"Mom!" Huang Haoran whispered, "Why did you hit me?"
