"You're all talking nonsense!"
Several elders walked over in unison.
Then they stood beside Old Master Xie.
They were all collateral branches of the Xie family, distantly related to Old Master Xie, even the term "distant cousin" was a stretch.
However, back then, it was these few who had provided Old Master Xie with the greatest support!
"How dare you speak like that? Seeing the longevity medicine successfully developed, you're helping Xie Yu twist the facts, aren't you?" the middle-aged man said angrily.
*Clack*—
One of the elders directly struck the middle-aged man's arm with his cane.
He said furiously, "Who are you pointing at? Even your father would have to show me respect!"
"It's you who are twisting the facts!"
"You say Xie Yu lied about the news, and then you took back your shares. I'll ask you, when you signed the withdrawal papers, didn't Xie Yu say that the longevity medicine was ready for development?"
"It was clearly you who insisted on closing the longevity medicine project, threatening to withdraw your shares otherwise. Now it's all Xie Yu's fault?"
"Xie Yu bought back the shares at the highest market price! Now that you've regretted it, you've come to the old house to make trouble!"
The words of the elders allowed Old Master Xie to understand the whole story.
Instantly, Old Master Xie's worldview was shattered.
How could there be such shameless people?
Before, Old Master Xie had thought that even if these people's words were untrustworthy,
Xie Yu might have used some tactics to suppress the stock price.
Who knew that Xie Yu was truly kind-hearted.
Not only did she advise them to think twice when signing, but she also paid them at the highest market price.
Yet, their greed knew no bounds.
They actually had the audacity to storm the house!
Thinking of this, Old Master Xie snorted coldly.
His gaze swept over the faces of these shareholders one by one.
Making them feel a chill in their bones!
"Alright, you are truly amazing!"
"Didn't you just say Xie Yu was worthless? Keep cursing!"
Old Master Xie laughed in extreme anger.
This demeanor startled everyone.
The middle-aged man, seeing his lie exposed, became enraged.
He stepped forward and said, "Old Master, regardless of what happened, we have feelings for the company and have contributed to it. You can't just drive us away like this!"
"If you still care about us, please help persuade Xie Yu!"
Old Master Xie chuckled.
Feelings?
Contributions?
"You have feelings, meaning you turned your backs on the company when it was in danger, insisting on withdrawing your shares?"
"You have contributions, meaning you slacked off day in and day out, and apart from dividend days, at other times you were either taking kickbacks or on your way to take kickbacks?"
Old Master Xie pointed it out directly.
He wasn't old and blind; he had seen everything these people had done!
If it weren't for their past connections, Old Master Xie wouldn't have turned a blind eye.
But these people, they were pushing their luck!
"Old Master, what are you saying? When did we ever take kickbacks?" the middle-aged man said with some guilt.
Indeed, he had taken quite a few kickbacks by virtue of his position.
After all, the Xie Group was a pharmaceutical company.
Many hospitals and pharmacies in Jiangnan City obtained their drugs from the Xie Group.
A mere hint to the procurement personnel was enough to get substantial kickbacks...
"You know in your heart whether you took them or not!"
"If you continue to make trouble, don't blame this old man for being ruthless and ordering a thorough investigation!"
Old Master Xie said sternly.
Human relationships are like this; the more they are used, the thinner they become.
The past transgressions of these people had already been wearing away this relationship.
Now, seeing these people, Old Master Xie felt no affection, only disgust!
"Old Master..." the man tried to say something more.
However, Zhou Yu and Xie Yu had arrived!
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
Xie Yu pushed through the crowd and rushed to Old Master Xie's side.
He anxiously checked Old Master Xie all over.
"I'm fine," Old Master Xie said faintly.
Only then did Xie Yu breathe a sigh of relief!
He had been busy handling patent matters at the company when he received calls from those elders.
They said that the shareholders who withdrew their shares had come to the old house to cause trouble!
Frightened, Xie Yu quickly delegated his work to his subordinates and, with Zhou Yu, rushed back!
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw so many people surrounding Old Master Xie.
Xie Yu's heart nearly leaped out of his chest from fear!
"Withdrawing your shares was your own choice, not a game of make-believe. How can you come back after withdrawing?"
"If my grandfather loses even a single strand of hair today, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xie Yu's dark eyes burned with the flames of anger, and he reprimanded loudly.
At the company, these people could cause as much trouble as they wanted.
Xie Yu couldn't be bothered with them, and if they were too annoying, he'd just have security escort them out.
But it was different for them to come to the Xie family's old house.
Old Master Xie's health was not very good.
What if they angered him to the point of illness?
The more Xie Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed a broom from the doorway and swung it into the crowd!
Fortunately, Zhou Yu stood beside Xie Yu and stopped him.
Otherwise, it would have been a disgrace today!
Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at the crowd.
He said coldly, "Still not leaving?"
Seeing Xie Yu angry, the group already felt guilty.
When Zhou Yu looked at them like that,
his obsidian-like eyes emitted a cold and sharp radiance, bringing an immense sense of pressure.
They immediately caved.
Fleeing in disarray, they ran away!
Others might have been merely angry, but Zhou Yu's eyes...
they truly looked like they could kill!
After everyone had left, Xie Yu also calmed down.
He said apologetically to Old Master Xie, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I've implicated you."
Old Master Xie shook his head and said nothing.
It was the elders beside them who spoke, "Xiao Yu, this is not your fault, there's no need to blame yourself."
"We saw the whole thing. If anything, they brought it upon themselves!"
Hearing this, Xie Yu said gratefully, "Uncles, thank you very much. If you hadn't notified me, I wouldn't have known these people dared to come to the house and cause trouble."
The elders smiled and waved their hands, "It was just a small effort."
Mainly, they also knew that Old Master Xie's health was not good.
They were afraid that these unscrupulous people would anger him into an accident!
Xie Yu said that after he finished his busy period, he would visit to thank them.
The elders quickly declined.
Seeing that the Xie family had something to discuss, they found an excuse and left one after another.
After the outsiders had left the Xie family's old house,
Xie Yu and Xie Shishi, supporting Old Master Xie on either side, entered the house.
Zhou Yu followed behind, closing the large door.
"Xiao Yu, you did well!"
As soon as the door closed, Old Master Xie could no longer contain himself. He patted Xie Yu's shoulder and burst into laughter!
It startled Xie Yu.
Old Master Xie continued, "I've been fed up with those parasites for a long time. You've finally done something successful!"
