Chapter 219 What went wrong?
"What's the second point? Say."
Xiao Zhenguo frowned, and his tone of speaking became much more severe.
When he was young, his style of doing things was known for his decisiveness. Although he is old, his temperament has not changed much.
Hearing Xiao Zhenguo's words, Xiao Yiran's expression turned solemn and no longer hesitated.
"The strategy of entering Haizhou was passed by everyone. I have no objection to this. However, since Tang Luoxin issued a military order at that time, he wanted to open up the situation in Haizhou within one year. But now, a year is about to pass, and the situation in Haizhou has not only not opened up, but has caused our Xiao family to suffer significant losses. Therefore, I think that Tang Luoxin...is to blame for the defeat in Haizhou this time!"
In the hall, as Xiao Yiran's words came out, everyone's faces became serious in an instant.
Xiao Zhenguo's face was even more depressed, his brows frowned, and he held his temples, obviously thinking about the two things Xiao Yiran said just now.
The atmosphere suddenly became depressed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yiran frowned slightly and did not speak anymore, but his eyes flashed with a gleam and he quietly made a gesture to someone beside him.
This man looks a bit similar to Xiao Yiran, but he is even younger. He is the youngest among the second generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Dongchen's third uncle, Xiao Qingran.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Qingran suddenly spoke, "Dad, brother is right. Since Tang Luoxin dared to issue a military order at that time, he must be prepared to be punished. If Tang Luoxin had not been careless this time, how could our Xiao family suffer such a great loss?"
Xiao Zhenguo still didn't say anything, put his left hand on the armrest of the seat and gently matte.
"Then Qingran, what should I punish you?"
Xiao Zhenguo suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingran and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Zhenguo was a little furious when he saw it, and Xiao Qingran's body trembled slightly.
Among the second generation of the Xiao family, except for the younger sister Xiao Xinran, the three brothers are the youngest and the worst ability.
The eldest brother Xiao Yiran was originally the president of the Xiao Group. Although he was later replaced by Tang Luoxin because of his lack of ability, he had real talents and knowledge. Now he is the group's real power vice president and has great power.
Although the second brother Xiao Haoran disappeared for no reason a few years ago, Tang Luoxin's ability is extremely strong. Since taking over the Xiao family, he has developed the Xiao family to its current scale in just a few years, so his ability is naturally unspeakable.
As for the younger sister Xiao Xinran, although she is just a housewife and does not care about foreign affairs, her husband Han Zhengxuan is very capable and now serves as the deputy general manager of the real power in the Xiao family, on an equal footing with Xiao Yiran.
He is the only one who is weak by nature and has a position as vice president in the group, but he is in name but has no right to speak.
"Third brother, tell me, don't forget the agreement between us."
At this time, Xiao Yiran, who was beside him, suddenly said softly in a voice that only two people could hear.
Xiao Qingran was still hesitating, but after hearing this, he was shocked, took a breath, and said aloud: "Because Tang Luoxin's mistake this time has caused huge losses to our Xiao family, so I think she should temporarily resign from her position as president of the Xiao Group and leave it to...."
"Shut up!"
However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Zhenguo, who was sitting in the first position, suddenly changed his face and slapped him hard on the solid wooden table.
His old face turned black, and he was obviously angry by Xiao Qingran's words.
Xiao Qingran finally burst into pieces, but under the slap of Xiao Zhenguo, he was immediately scared and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Yiran's face also darkened, and his eyes were flashing.
"Dad, please calm down and don't get angry."
On the other side of the hall, Xiao Xinran quickly comforted her.
After waved his hand, Xiao Zhenguo looked at Xiao Qingran and said, "Hmph, third brother, I didn't realize that you still have such great ambitions."
"If you resign as President Luo Xin, what should you do if the entire Xiao family do? Are you going to be this president?"
Xiao Zhenguo scolded Xiao Qingran without mercy and said with a grudge: "I think you are used to enjoying happiness and have forgotten what your surname is. If you hadn't had Luo Xin over the years, would you think our Xiao family can reach this point?"
"It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but you always have some mixed thoughts."
Xiao Qingran was already timid, and when he heard this, he became even more afraid to look up.
At this time, Xiao Yiran finally came out to rescue: "Dad, the third brother is kind, so don't talk about him."
"What good intentions, boss, don't think I don't know what you think."
Xiao Zhenguo glared at Xiao Yiran with anger, but his attitude obviously eased a lot: "Yiran, I know that you have always been very knotted about Luo Xin being this president."
"However, Luo Xin is also my Xiao family after all. If the hearts cannot be together, then our Xiao family may not be able to go far."
As if he had thought of something, Xiao Zhenguo suddenly sighed, and a little sadness appeared in his expression.
Originally, Xiao Haoran was the best among the second generation of the Xiao family. Unfortunately, human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. No one expected that Xiao Haoran would disappear so inexplicably, and it took several years to go.
Xiao Yiran was speechless when he was said, but thinking of Tang Luoxin's strength, if he didn't grasp it this time, he might have no chance again, and his thoughts became more and more firm: "Dad, no matter what, since Tang Luoxin did something wrong this time, he had to accept punishment. Otherwise, if the rewards and punishments are not clear, how can our Xiao family gain a foothold in Jucheng?!"
At the end, Xiao Yiran's emotions became excited, and his words were filled with a strong resentment.
Xiao Zhenguo subconsciously wanted to scold him, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.
He naturally heard the resentment in Xiao Yiran's words.
Indeed, the reason why the Xiao family was able to rise was because the Xiao family had always had clear rewards and punishments.
The reason why Xiao Yiran was dismissed back then was because he made a mistake and caused the group to suffer losses, so he replaced Tang Luoxin as the leader of the Xiao family.
"Resolutely, you..."
Xiao Zhenguo was about to speak, but at this moment, a young voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"My mother has been working diligently for Xiao for so many years. You can tell me, what did she do wrong."
A faint voice came into the hall and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone quickly turned their heads and looked out the hall, and saw Xiao Dongchen and Han Zhengxuan and his son walking in.
Seeing Han Zhengxuan, although Xiao Yiran's face was not good, he still nodded. After all, Han Zhengxuan is now the vice president of the group and his status is no less than that of him.
