Claire doesn&#8217;t tell the truth.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;At present, the company has not received liquidated damages but has to delay the construction period of all projects. In this way, we have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. After all, we can&#8217;t find reliable suppliers in the short term. Advertising planning can not be done in the short term.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It&#8217;s serious enough to destroy Howard Group.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Now that Howard Group is in crisis, Wilson Group can&#8217;t ignore it. After all, they are politically married.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan is uncomfortable with it, but it&#8217;s true. And he thinks it happened after Leo lost his memory, so it doesn&#8217;t count.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke hears Conan and gets more upset.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;They stand by and even add fuel to the fire when the company is in crisis.&#8221; Luke looks resentful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What? You mean&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke nods and says, &#8220;instead of helping, they took part of the money from Howard Group.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;How can they do that? Does Wilson Group want to watch Howard Group fall? It&#8217;s about their interests.&#8221; Claire can&#8217;t understand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke spreads out his hands and says helplessly, &#8220;Tracy must have done it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire now regrets saying that to Tracy. If she encumbers Howard Group, she will only feel more guilty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What shall we do now?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke shakes his head. He can&#8217;t think of a way. Before that, he tried to contact Wilson Group, but they don&#8217;t agree to meet him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then Luke&#8217;s cell phone suddenly rings. When he takes out his cell phone and sees the name of the call, he frowns.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Maybe something happens to the company.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke answers the phone and throws it on the table. He falls on the sofa with his head in his arms.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I wish Leo can wake up right now. He will have a way.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It seems Luke is desperate.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What happened?&#8221; Claire asks anxiously.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;There are several projects that must be operated today, but after this incident, Party A of Howard Group has begun to urge. They didn&#8217;t dare to do that when Leo was there.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke says angrily, &#8220;they heard that Leo is seriously ill, so they begin to find fault. You know Leo&#8217;s approach. He usually oppresses them, so they are venting now.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke tries to stand up and tidy up his suit. He perks up and says, &#8220;I have to deal with these people anyway. Please take care of Leo.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Seeing Luke&#8217;s almost unsteady figure disappear, Claire is also in despair.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She picks up her cell phone and calls Juan directly. Although she knows it is no use begging, she wants to try.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Unfortunately, Juan doesn&#8217;t even answer his phone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Since Juan starts attacking Howard Group, Claire and Conan have become as depressed as Luke. Conan has been competing with the hackers and wants to know about Juan&#8217;s plans.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But even if he is gifted, he can&#8217;t fight with five people. Besides, Juan has installed many security systems in the company, and this time Conan really can&#8217;t help. He can only stare at the flashing computer screen with his red eyes.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke is busy in Howard Group. Howard Group has lost a lot of money before the event has fully started.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Without new funding, Howard Group will collapse.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At the board meeting.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mr. Luke, please ask Mr. Howard to come out and solve the problem quickly.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Now the company is almost dead. On the surface, we just lost money, but in fact, 90% of the projects are on hold and losing money continuously.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;If we don&#8217;t get new sources of supply or funds, we can&#8217;t solve it at all. But now it&#8217;s said that Mr. Howard is ill. Even the big banks don&#8217;t help us.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mr. Luke, you say Mr. Leo is OK, but it&#8217;s said that he&#8217;s going to die. Is this true?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Those shareholders speak, but Luke sits in Leo&#8217;s position and holds his forehead and is silent.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8217;ve said many times that Leo is OK now, but he can&#8217;t show up for special reasons. Don&#8217;t believe the rumors.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke can only repeat this lie. If he really says Leo is seriously ill, Howard Group will really close down.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Someone wants to keep asking, but Luke slaps the table and says coldly, &#8220;I did get the agency of the company. In other words, I&#8217;m Leo here. If someone continues to say that, I don&#8217;t mind firing him.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Everyone is silent.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke is satisfied and looks at them and sneers, &#8220;hasn&#8217;t anyone from Wilson Group arrived?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The secretary reminds him, &#8220;Wilson Group is ready to divest so it&#8217;s no longer a member of the board.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke stands up and says to them, &#8220;it&#8217;s really hard for the company right now, but you have to work together. After all, Howard Group is yours. If it can&#8217;t be solved, you can only collapse with this building.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Maybe we can choose to withdraw&#8230;&#8221; Someone retorts in a low voice.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke sneers and says, &#8220;Wilson Group has divested and now Howard Group has no money for you. In other words, we are now partners. I don&#8217;t need to tell you what to do, do I?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke tries to imitate Leo&#8217;s methods and style. Unexpectedly, it really works. These guys give in.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What&#8217;s more, even if it&#8217;s stone, they can only choose to eat it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u0003\u0003\u0003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claire certainly knows who that person is, but even if she tells Luke now, the company&#8217;s crisis will not disappear and it will be more complicated.
