Chapter 284 The Light Trail Enters, Reorganizing Eternity

The following day, news that Jiang Shiyuan had secured investment from Lighttrack Ventures quickly spread throughout Yongheng Technology.

The discussion was heated, with many different opinions:

"Have you heard? Our company, Guangji, has received investment! I heard it's 200 million! This is a lifesaver; our company is saved!"

"That's hard to say. Now that Guangji has become a major shareholder in our company, it will definitely dilute the power held by Chairman Jiang and General Manager Jiang. From now on, they will all have to follow the lead of General Manager Fu of Guangji. This means that our future big boss will be General Manager Fu. We have absolutely no idea what kind of person he is. If he is very strict, we'll have a tough time ahead!"

"What kind of person is President Fu? He's very handsome!"

"What good is being handsome? Can it feed you?"

"What a joke! Isn't your current job a gift from President Fu? President Fu is a talented young man, handsome and rich. Jealousy has made you unrecognizable!"

"But speaking of which, President Jiang is really capable. She only took office for a few days and she already secured the investment that Chairman Jiang had been trying to get for two years. She's truly a woman who is just as capable as any man!"

"Well, that's because President Fu is a man and President Jiang is a beautiful woman. Sometimes it's easier for women to get things done than for men."

Meanwhile, in the chairman's office, Jiang Yongxiao learned that Jiang Shiyuan had won her first battle, and that the partner she had negotiated was Guangji, which was many times more powerful than Yuanhang and had foreign capital backing. Moreover, Guangji's Asia president was Fu Chenzhou, who had an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Shiyuan!

Jiang Yongxiao had a vague sense of unease.

They say that men and women working together makes the work easier, but with such a powerful figure above us, life might not be so easy from now on.

"Damn it... how could Xiong Lin be so useless! He's all talk and no action, he can't even handle two young women. I really underestimated him!" Jiang Yongxiao said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, so angry he almost chewed the cigarette butt to pieces.

Secretary Zhang immediately leaned over to light a cigarette for her boss, saying, "Speaking of this matter, everything about it is strange. And the relationship between the young lady and President Fu is truly unbelievable."

Jiang Yongxiao frowned. "What do you mean?"

“Before, Guangji had no intention of investing in us, but ever since Miss found Xiong Lin, President Fu invested in us without saying a word. I feel like there’s a bit of a push-and-pull dynamic between them, like Miss wouldn’t open her mouth unless she pressured President Fu.”

"What do you mean by that? You mean that my suggestion that Jiang Shiyuan contact Xiong Lin backfired and actually facilitated her cooperation with Guangji?!"

Jiang Yongxiao was so angry that he stared in disbelief. "Isn't that the same as saying that I've shot myself in the foot?"

Secretary Zhang repeatedly flattered, "No, no! Chairman, you are so wise and capable, how could you possibly make a wrong decision? It's just that you can predict everything, but you can never predict people's hearts!"

Jiang Yongxiao was too lazy to argue with him, but he was feeling uneasy. "I'm afraid that the two of them will team up against me. I'll feel like I have a thorn in my side and a fishbone stuck in my throat!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

"What is it?" Secretary Zhang called out.

"Chairman, Mr. Fu from Lighttrack Ventures has arrived and is meeting with Mr. Jiang in the conference room. Please come over as well."

Jiang Yongxiao arrived at the conference room with a heavy heart.

Upon entering, one sees Jiang Shiyuan sitting upright on the left side of the top of the conference room.

And the one and only person at the top, the one who sits leisurely in the helm, is Fu Chenzhou!

The man's tall and imposing figure was backlit, like an insurmountable, towering mountain, leaving only a chilling, somber shadow.

Jiang Yongxiao shivered at first, then a surge of anger rushed to the tip of his lungs!

Ever since his sister passed away, this prime spot in the conference room has belonged to him! For so many years, no one has dared to touch it!

But Fu Chenzhou arrived and brazenly seized the throne that belonged to him! Isn't this a case of a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest?!

A sense of crisis overwhelmed me.

"Chairman Jiang, this is Fu Chenzhou, President of Lighttrack Ventures Asia."

Seeing Jiang Yongxiao standing there silently, Jiang Shiyuan stood up to ease the awkwardness and acted as an introducer, "President Fu, this is the chairman of our Yongheng Technology..."

"Jiang Yongxiao, Chairman Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Fu Chenzhou suddenly took over the conversation, crossing his long legs and sitting there elegantly, exuding the arrogance of a superior.

They didn't take him, the chairman of the board, seriously at all.

Jiang Yongxiao was furious, but since the other party was his sugar daddy, he dared not speak out and could only force a dry laugh.

"Mr. Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you! I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"

Fu Chenzhou just looked at him with a half-smile, without responding to his words.

The three of them sat down. Fu Chenzhou's cold, jade-like face remained expressionless. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly:

"I have called you two here today because I have two things to tell you."

The use of "inform" instead of "discuss" indicates that he had made up his mind and they had no room for argument.

Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips slightly, gazing into the man's unfathomable eyes, feeling inexplicably nervous.

She had known Fu Chenzhou for a period of time that was neither long nor short. But this was the first time she had ever seen him at work; his powerful aura and imposing presence made it impossible for anyone to look him in the eye.

It was as if he was born to be a king standing at the pinnacle, looking down upon all living beings.

It's completely unbelievable that he has a dark past, including being an illegitimate child of the Fu family and being marginalized by the family.

Fu Chenzhou declared emphatically, "The first thing I will do is increase the investment from 200 million to 500 million."

Jiang Yongxiao was suddenly taken aback.

"500 million?" Jiang Shiyuan stared in astonishment. "Why suddenly..."

"Once the investment grows to 500 million, I want to become a director of your company and have a veto right."

The room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop after he said that.

Jiang Shiyuan lowered her long eyelashes, her face expressionless, but her mind was racing.

Jiang Yongxiao, however, felt a sudden jolt in his heart and his face turned ashen.

For so many years, he has been all-powerful and domineering in the company. The meeting room is his personal playground, where he can do whatever he wants and no one dares to say a word against it!

But things changed after capital entered the market.

Fu Chenzhou owns a large percentage of the shares and has veto power. Doesn't this mean he's been completely sidelined as chairman? How can this be allowed!

So he suppressed his anger and said urgently, "President Fu, aren't you diluting our power by doing this? If you don't like or are dissatisfied with our ideas in the future, we won't be able to carry out any projects or make any decisions."

Fu Chenzhou slowly raised his eyes, his cold gaze making Jiang Yongxiao feel uncomfortable all over, so oppressive that he could hardly breathe.

"Over the past decade or so, under Chairman Jiang's leadership, Yongheng Technology's performance has declined year after year. Not only has it suffered from severe talent loss, but it has also been relying on the legacy left by the previous chairman, becoming complacent and unwilling to make progress. Today, it has reached the point of being eliminated by the market and even on the verge of bankruptcy."

All of this points to one thing: Chairman Jiang, your management skills have serious problems. Now that Guangji has entered the market, we're investing real money; success is the only option, failure is not an option. Therefore, the company's structure needs to be restructured, and the internal organization needs to be reorganized. My veto power is the first step in saving Eternal.

Jiang Yongxiao's face burned, turning red and then white in turns.

Fu Chenzhou's words were tantamount to saying that he was nothing!

"President Jiang."

Fu Chenzhou suddenly turned his gaze to Jiang Shiyuan, who had remained silent, and asked in a deep, gentle voice, "Do you have any objections?"

After some thought, Jiang Shiyuan had already seen through the man's true intentions, so she smiled sweetly:

"I have no objection."
