Huo Li’s words left Huo Song speechless.
Indeed, the current situation of the company was not good, resembling a lone leaf boat sailing in the vast ocean, teetering in the waves and at any moment in danger of capsizing.
However, the company that he once took pride in, now needed to tie itself to Jiang Ning, whom he previously looked down upon, relying on her popularity to bring the company back to life... This made Huo Song feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Dad, was that Big Brother who called just now?" Huo Miao sidled up from the side.
Huo Song didn’t use speakerphone when he took the call, so she didn’t know what Huo Li had said. She could only infer from Huo Song’s just now demeanor that Huo Li seemed to have made an important decision that greatly angered Huo Song.
Huo Song didn’t hide it and said directly, "Because of what happened online, Huo Li plans to give Jiang Ning five percent of the shares and make her the spokesperson for the company."
"What?!" Huo Miao couldn’t hide her shock.
At this moment, Huo Miao also wanted to confront Huo Li and ask, "Big Brother, have you gone mad!"
In the Huo Family, only a few male members, led by Huo Song and Huo Li, held shares in the company. Not Huo Miao, and not even Madam Huo, who had been married to Huo Song for so many years, had a single share.
Now, Huo Li was actually planning to give shares to Jiang Ning? And five percent no less!
Huo Miao bit her lower lip, her freshly-done manicure digging deeply into her palm, her feelings extremely complicated.
Huo Song knew Huo Miao wasn’t one to stay out of trouble. He looked at her and warned deliberately, "Times have changed. If you see Jiang Ning from now on, greet her politely and don’t pull any tricks."
"How could I bully her now? It’s her turn to bully me," Huo Miao said, feeling very aggrieved.
She remembered the day Jiang Ning left the Huo Family, she had not laughed in her heart just once at Jiang Ning for being a fool. Huo Miao thought she had secured the status of the Huo Family’s daughter, not only securing her footing in the entertainment industry but also having an outstanding and outstanding fiancé Mu Mingxuan.
It could be said that everyone envied her life back then, and even Huo Miao herself thought she would embark on an even more wonderful life from that point on.
But in just a short time, everything was ruined.
In contrast, Jiang Ning stepped on their good fortune and climbed up step by step, becoming a beloved figure.
Huo Miao still felt somewhat unwilling to accept this—why should she become Huo Song’s plaything in the shadows, while Jiang Ning gloriously became the spokesperson for Huo’s?
After becoming a disgraced public figure, the path of an entertainer in the entertainment industry was completely cut off for Huo Miao. The savings she had painstakingly accumulated were all used to pay breach of contract fees to those brands, leaving her penniless.
Originally, she should have had over six million. Huo Ziheng had transferred six million to her previously.
But after it became known she was involved in charity fraud, even though she was already punished by being detained, Huo Ziheng actually went to her personally, with a cold face demanding Huo Miao return the six million.
Huo Miao almost died of anger due to Huo Ziheng’s stingy behavior, not wanting to transfer the money at all, but knowing full well she had no choice.
After returning the six million to Huo Ziheng, now Huo Miao’s card only had a few miserly hundred thousand left.
She was just in her twenties, and the few hundred thousand she had were but a drop in the bucket for her long future ahead. Huo Miao had been thinking about how to find something to do these past few days.
It was impossible for her to find a regular job.
After all, she was once a popular starlet in the entertainment industry, and if she were recognized, it would be utterly laughable.
Huo Miao clutched Huo Song’s sleeve, "Dad, get me a position in the company too."
Huo Song frowned and before he could refuse, Huo Miao gently tugged at his sleeve, her tone deliberately soft and coquettish, "That way, it’ll be more convenient for me to visit your office later."
