Chapter 253 I Don't Want to Owe You

Fu Group.

Fu Shenyuan attracted a lot of attention when he entered the lobby on the first floor. He led Tan Shen into the president's private elevator.

"Send the message down. In one hour, all shareholders of the Fu Group will hold a meeting in the central conference room," Fu Shenyuan said.

Tan Shen responded and quickly took out his phone to send the notification down to his subordinates.

In an instant, a commotion broke out inside the Fu Group building. The previously turbulent internal affairs of the group were immediately put into preparation due to a message from the president's office.

An hour later, in the central conference room of the Fu Group.

Fu Shenyuan arrived at the conference room long ago and watched as the shareholders went from being arrogant when they first entered to falling silent when they saw him.

Fu Shenyuan immediately realized that these people were not going to amount to anything.

The shareholders have always been afraid of Fu Shenyuan's authority; after all, he is the one sitting at the top, and they have no choice but to be afraid.

Fu Shenyuan simply sat calmly at the head of the long table, watching the shareholders sit down on either side of him.

Time ticked by, and only one minute remained of the hour.

The seat next to Fu Shenyuan was still empty.

"Where's the vice president? Have you notified him of a meeting?" Fu Shenyuan asked.

Tan Shen walked over and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "I have notified the entire system of your news, and the vice president is also aware of it."

Fu Shenyuan smiled slightly, his smile enigmatic.

"Then we'll wait and see. The next steps will require the participation of all shareholders, and of course, the vice president, as a major shareholder, is indispensable."

As soon as Fu Shenyuan finished speaking, the other minority shareholders broke out in a cold sweat.

Because they all knew that Fu Hongkai had recently made a statement opposing Fu Shenyuan's continued presence in the head seat to oversee the group's affairs.

The fact that Fu Hongkai didn't come at this moment demonstrates his determination.

However, the fact that all the shareholders were present meant that Fu Hongkai was trying to get special treatment, which was clearly unwise.

The shareholders who sided with Fu Hongkai secretly sent a message to invite Fu Hongkai over. Fu Shenyuan saw it but pretended not to notice.

After a long while, Fu Shenyuan looked at his watch again.

"How late is the vice president?" Fu Shenyuan asked.

Tan Shen replied, "It's been half an hour."

"Keep waiting," Fu Shenyuan said coldly.

At this point, other shareholders were getting anxious and trying to urge them on.

"President, shall we begin? Perhaps the Vice President is currently busy; we will convey this message afterward."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fu, it's not good to keep you waiting like this. Why don't we start?"

Fu Shenyuan remained unmoved, his eyes not even flickering.

Seeing Fu Shenyuan's demeanor, the shareholders who had been trying to persuade him could no longer say anything more.

After a long while, the door to the central conference room was finally pushed open, and Fu Hongkai appeared before everyone.

Fu Shenyuan moved his neck and turned to stare at Fu Hongkai: "The vice president is here, please have a seat."

Fu Hongkai sat down, and the atmosphere between the two was very subtle, making the other shareholders feel a chill.

"Shen Yuan, your second uncle is a little late. Something came up and I was delayed. I hope you don't mind." Fu Hongkai leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat relaxed.

Fu Shenyuan didn't even smile: "Vice President, this is the Fu Group's shareholders' meeting. I hope you can show some work attitude."

Many shareholders were shocked; it was obvious that these two, uncle and nephew, did not get along.

Fu Hongkai's face instantly darkened, and his sitting posture became less relaxed.

Fu Shenyuan only started the meeting after everyone had arrived.

"Regarding yesterday's failed bid, I believe everyone has some complaints. But what I want to tell you is that the reason I left yesterday was because my wife was blackmailed and kidnapped. The blackmailer was one of the people from the old shopping mall renovation project. He was dissatisfied with the compensation, so he kidnapped my wife and the wife of Mr. Wan, who had already left the group. It was a matter of life and death, so I temporarily gave up the bid."

After these words were spoken, no one dared to question Fu Shenyuan anymore; instead, they all shifted their attention to the old shopping mall project.

One shareholder asked, "Wasn't that project all arranged? How come someone like this is threatening the president's wife?"

Fu Shenyuan turned to Fu Hongkai: "You'll have to ask the vice president about that. He was the vice president who took over this project, right? Where did the compensation funds allocated by the group go?"

Fu Hongkai remained completely calm: "Of course it's already been given down there. If not, could it be that someone embezzled it?"

Fu Shenyuan smiled but remained silent.

"I hope the vice president can investigate this thoroughly to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future."

Fu Hongkai retorted, not to be outdone, "Of course."

Fu Hongkai thought Fu Shenyuan would let it go, but Fu Shenyuan added, "How about this, I'll set a timeframe for you. If there's no result within a week, I'll hold you, the person in charge, accountable."

Fu Hongkai clenched his fists tightly.

This Fu Shenyuan is clearly going against him.

Fu Shenyuan then discussed some routine items for the shareholders' meeting.

After the meeting ended, Fu Hongkai left first, and the other shareholders also dispersed.

Seeing that everyone had left, Fu Shenyuan waved to beckon Tan Shen and another person over.

"From now on, have someone keep a close eye on Second Uncle. We can't let any of his moves slip by."

"clear."

Fu Shenyuan then took a step and left. When he reached the door of the conference room, he encountered someone he never expected.

Fu Shenyuan's expression softened instantly: "Ranxing, how come you had time to come over?"

Jiang Ranxing looked at him expressionlessly, then said, "The public relations department has some urgent documents that need to be signed, so I came over."

“But this is a conference room, the public relations department isn’t here.” After saying that, Fu Shenyuan’s expression began to show some joy: “Did you come here specifically to see me?”

Fu Shenyuan stepped forward and took Jiang Ranxing's hand.

Jiang Ranxing looked down and saw faint red marks on Fu Shenyuan's arm beneath the sleeve of his suit.

It seems Wan Luyuan was right; Fu Shenyuan was indeed injured, from the injuries he sustained yesterday while rushing to find her.

Jiang Ranxing asked somewhat awkwardly, "How are your injuries? Have you seen a doctor?"

Fu Shenyuan was unaware that Jiang Ranxing already knew, and he still wanted to keep it a secret, but it was ultimately impossible to hide it.

"I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor."

He was still putting on a brave face, which made Jiang Ranxing feel somewhat uncomfortable. She pulled his arm over and yanked up the sleeves of his suit and shirt, instantly revealing the abrasions on his arm. Some of the wounds hadn't scabbed over yet, and the friction caused beads of blood to seep out.

"You call this nothing?" Jiang Ranxing raised her eyelids to look at him, somewhat annoyed. "Then where did these wounds come from?"

Fu Shenyuan didn't want her to worry, so he said, "It was just an accident, it's really nothing."

Jiang Ranxing sighed deeply, grabbed Fu Shenyuan's arm, and led him toward the president's private elevator.

She gave Tan Shen a look, and Tan Shen immediately understood and pressed the elevator button to bring the elevator over.

After returning to the CEO's office on the top floor, Jiang Ranxing let go of Fu Shenyuan and threw him onto the sofa, then asked Tan Shen for the first-aid kit.

The first-aid kit contained everything. Jiang Ranxing pulled out disinfectant iodine, cotton swabs, and a roll of gauze. After unpacking, she took the disinfected cotton swabs and pulled them over to disinfect Fu Shenyuan's arm.

Fu Shenyuan watched quietly as she carefully tended to his wounds. His eyes softened, filled with a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

After disinfecting the wound, Jiang Ranxing took out gauze and wrapped it around his arm.

After taking care of these things, she put his arm back down.

She looked up and met his tender, affectionate eyes.

Jiang Ranxing was only momentarily confused before quickly regaining his senses and saying, "I don't want to owe you anything. Since you were injured while trying to save me, I also have a responsibility. Don't overthink it, there's nothing else."

Fu Shenyuan simply smiled calmly and said, "Is there really nothing else, Ranxing? You still care about me, right? You can't bear to see me get hurt, can you?"

“Don’t be so narcissistic, Fu Shenyuan.” Jiang Ranxing glanced at him, disagreeing with his words. “I would have done the same for anyone else, not just you.”

Fu Shenyuan was just feeling happy, but now he was hurt by Jiang Ranxing's words.

"Okay, whatever you say is fine, but I'm already very satisfied that you helped me apply the medicine," Fu Shenyuan said again, mustering his confidence.

Jiang Ranxing's gaze froze for a moment, then he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

She stood up, grabbed her medical kit, and was about to leave the office when Fu Shenyuan hurriedly stood up and stopped her, saying, "Wait for me. I'll drive you home. Let's go home together."

Jiang Ranxing stopped at the door but did not turn around to look at him.

"Forget it, I don't want to take care of you. Let's go our separate ways."

After saying that, Jiang Ranxing opened the door and walked out without stopping for a moment.

The office door closed slowly and automatically, keeping Fu Shenyuan's sigh and all the regret and reluctance on his face inside.
