207 Recovery and Revenge - Part 2 (1/2)
Thursday, continued …
Once Alister Nang came into the office and shut the door ”Mr Nang, this if my father Hou Jang and the Vice-CEO of Hou Enterprises Ji Feng,” Hou Yi said, pointing to each of them.”What do you know about what happened.”
”CEO Hou based on the questioning yesterday that I sat in on, and with the additional information provided through me on your wife's behalf and the information that Officer Mu determined, all the allegations against your wife have been dismissed.The investigation confirmed that there was a conversation between Lu Jinhu and Yang Linand Inspector Gang and Senior Officer Fang.”
”What cannot be proven was whether it was one or the other or both that accepted a bribe to harass and injure Madam Hou.The police's decision is to charge Inspector Gang with assault over the injuries to Madam Hou.They will continue to investigate the suspected bribery matter, but both officers will be demoted and moved to new posts in a rural area.”
”Further given the two assaults on Madam Hou, and the evidence that Officer Mu found in Australia, they are going to charge Lu Jinhu with abuse of Madam Hou.However, they have indicated that the charges in Lu Jinhu will not be laid for 3 or 4 weeks, because they want to see if they can prove that he bribed police and for additional inquiries to be made in Australia.”
”Thank you Alister.Please keep me updated.”
”Not a problem CEO Hou.”And with that he left.
”That is it Yi!We need to get out of collaborations on projects where Lu Corporation is involved.” Came the furious response from Hou Jang.
”Dad while I agree, until Lu Jinhu is charged, we have to be careful in how we act against Lu Corporation.Acting strategically ensures that we do not hurt the other companies involved in various projects and prevent Lu Corporation running a public argument that we are out to destroy them because of Lu Jinhu's actions.”
”Hou Enterprises therefore will retain a defendable position.My view is that we target the projects where we and Lu Corporation are major investors firstly as it lessens the harm to other companies, because we can defend that.However once Lu Jinhu is charged all bets are off.Lu Corporation will be targeted publicly to the extent that I can prove its involvement.
”Yi, when did you become so smart?” asked Ji Feng.
”Uncle Feng, the employees of Lu Corporation are not blame, and I do not want them to become victims if I can avoid it.They have nothing to do with Lu Jinhu's activities.As to being smart, the two best teachers I have are here.You both taught me, decisions restwith those at the top, not with those that implement them.Lu Corporation's employees only implement the bad decisions made, not make them, therefore they should not be targeted unless it cannot be avoided.”
