Chapter 269: A Sudden Illegitimate Daughter Appears

Chapter 269: A Sudden Illegitimate Daughter Appears

Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Huo Tingying tapped his fingers on the table, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Then, he spoke, "As you all have guessed, Huo Chun is that scoundrel's daughter who was left outside. Here are her birth certificate and DNA test report. If anyone still has doubts, feel free to verify them."

After Huo Tingying finished speaking and slammed down a stack of documents, everyone was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

It was Huo Jinzhou who first took the documents and verified them, ending up pale-faced.

Seeing his expression, everyone knew there was no need for further verification.

This girl named Huo Chun was most likely the result of the family patriarch's youthful indiscretion.

Moreover, just looking at Huo Chun's features, she bore a striking resemblance to the patriarch when he was young—there was no doubt about it.

But why did Huo Tingying bring this illegitimate daughter here now? What was he planning?

"Tingying, this concerns the Huo family's bloodline and your brother's reputation. You could have discussed this privately at home. Why bring this girl here during a meeting? What do you want?" asked Third Uncle Huo.

If it were just an additional illegitimate daughter, at most they would give her a portion of the family's assets, which would come from Huo Jinzhou's share, not affecting them.

But bringing her to the meeting at this critical moment had a different implication.

Did he want...

Indeed.

Huo Tingying smiled, "Didn't you ask me to solve your problems? You don't want Huo Jinzhou as the executive director, so I found someone suitable. Now I have."

"Her? A little girl who hasn't even grown up!" Second Uncle Huo pointed at Huo Chun.

Huo Tingying nodded, "Yes, her. She is also part of the Huo family's bloodline, the grandfather's direct granddaughter. No one is more suitable than her for this position."

"Huo Tingying, are you playing with us?" Second Uncle Huo angrily pointed at Huo Chun. "Why should this girl be the executive director? Has she graduated from university? Does she know how to run a company?"

"That's right. Even if she is the grandfather's granddaughter, she is still so young. Appointing her as the executive director is ridiculous!" said President Li in opposition.

Third Uncle Huo also pondered, "Tingying, this really doesn't make sense..."

Huo Chun glanced at everyone and sneered, then said, "Why doesn't it make sense? Do you think I'm not qualified because I'm a girl, or because I'm too young? As far as I know, when Huo Jinzhou joined the company for training, he was only in his twenties. And he has been here for years without any achievements, always losing money. If he can do it, why can't I?"

"You—" Huo Jinzhou gritted his teeth.

Everyone was shocked by Huo Chun's words.

No wonder she is the grandfather's granddaughter; her words are... powerful!

To curse Huo Jinzhou as a wastrel in front of everyone, knowing she hasn't even been officially recognized yet.

However, her words made sense.

Huo Tingying observed their expressions and delivered a strong message.

"I understand your concerns about Huo Chun's lack of experience in managing the company. But isn't this the perfect opportunity to showcase your value? With so many uncles and pillars of the company supporting her, there's no fear of the Huo Group collapsing. After she takes office, I will transfer all my shares to her."

Everyone felt enlightened.

Especially the Huo family's uncles, their eyes immediately lit up.

Huo Tingying was going to give all his shares in the Huo Group to this little girl? That means the Huo Group would belong to her!

Indeed, Huo Jinzhou, that wolf cub, has grown up and is now biting back.

But Huo Chun is still young!

If she wants to secure her position in the Huo Group, she must rely on these uncles, who will surely be heavily relied upon. A little girl knows nothing; she would be a puppet, doing whatever they want.

And girls eventually marry, providing an opportunity to force her to hand over the Huo Group...

The more they thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Huo Tingying gave Huo Chun a nod.

Huo Chun continued, "Brother is right. I am young and inexperienced, so I hope Second Uncle and Third Uncle can support me. Rest assured, I always repay kindness. If the uncles help me, I will never forget your kindness."

Their soft and hard tactics instantly broke through everyone's defenses.

Second Uncle Huo slapped his leg, "I see that my niece is sensible and capable. She is indeed the grandfather's granddaughter, and we have nothing to say. Handing the company to her, I am at ease."

Third Uncle Huo also nodded, "We are family, so we should support each other. With our old guys watching and Tingying's guidance, managing the Huo Group will be more than sufficient."

With the two loudest uncles agreeing, the others naturally followed suit.

The executives bought by Huo Jinzhou looked at each other, none daring to speak up for him. After all, she was the grandfather's granddaughter, and Huo Tingying clearly intended to promote her.

Huo Tingying, with a regal demeanor, surveyed everyone and asked, "So, does everyone agree that Huo Chun joining the Huo Group and becoming the executive director is acceptable?"

Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads.

"We have no objections."

"Since Second Uncle and Third Uncle have spoken, we have no objections either."

Some remained silent, while others nodded in agreement.

Huo Jinzhou glanced at these spineless individuals, his face turning green with anger.

His icy, menacing gaze fixed on Huo Tingying, as if he wanted to devour him alive!

At this point, how could he still not see through Huo Tingying's schemes?

"Huo Tingying, you set this up from the beginning, didn't you?" Huo Jinzhou sneered. "You never intended to hand over the Huo Group to me and the uncles. Your announcement at Grandpa's funeral was just to make us compete and tear each other apart, so that you could then let this illegitimate daughter reap all the benefits!"

The curve of Huo Tingying's lips carried a hint of bloodthirsty cruelty as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"So what if I did? If you can't play the game, you have to admit defeat!"

"Huo Tingying! You've gone too far! How dare you entrust the hard work of our family to an illegitimate daughter?"

"Because I'm in charge of the Huo family now, and because she is also part of the Huo family's bloodline!"

The coldness in Huo Tingying's demeanor was enough to freeze everyone present. He slowly rose, his tall figure looming over them.

He stared intently at the defiant Huo Jinzhou.

"From today on, you either bow down to Huo Chun or get out of the Huo Group!"

With those words, he walked straight out of the meeting room.

Huo Chun followed closely behind.

The powerful siblings made their grand exit.
