She wore a new Chanel suit today and had her hair styled carefully, looking exceptionally radiant.

"Ah Chen, you were amazing just now." Xu Zhiru looked up at his profile and said in a sweet voice, "Those reporters were conquered by you."

"This is just the beginning." Fu Chen had a confident smile on his lips.

As they passed Ning Nanxue's office door, Xu Zhiru deliberately slowed down her pace and said loudly, "Ah Chen, I want to invite more media friends to the engagement party. After all, as the future Mrs. Fu, I should let everyone know me."

"Whatever you like." Fu Chen answered nonchalantly.

Xu Zhiru smiled with satisfaction. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she leaned over to Fu Chen's ear and said, "That Ning Nanxue, she was too clever and calculated everything, but in the end, she was making wedding dresses for others. She thought that attracting Huayun Group would keep her position? How ridiculous."

Fu Chen just said "hmm" lightly and didn't respond.

In the elevator, Xu Zhiru looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling satisfied.

She has begun to spread the news in various departments of the company, saying that the future helmsman of Fu Group will only be Fu Chen, and she, Xu Zhiru, is the rightful Mrs. Fu.

At the same time, Fu Chen placed a document in front of the secretary.

"Contact all board members and tell them that Ning Nanxue is incompetent and that bringing her into Huayun Group is short-sighted." Fu Chen's voice was low and calm. "At tomorrow's board meeting, I will formally propose to remove her from her position as CEO."

"Yes, Mr. Fu." The secretary bowed and replied.

On the eve of the board meeting, Ning Nanxue's office was brightly lit. She and Jiang Tingchen were working on countermeasures.

"Fengtou Company has a very complicated background." Jiang Tingchen couldn't help but sigh. "They have participated in hostile takeovers in multiple countries, and their methods are quite radical."

"I guessed it, but I need more information." Ning Nanxue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the city lights outside the window were like stars.

"Fu Chen is digging his own grave." Jiang Tingchen put down the information and walked behind her. "Fengtou Company is not a good company. If they come in, they will try every possible way to control the entire Fu Group. I will continue to help you investigate."

"He was so eager to defeat me that he neglected the most basic investigation." Ning Nanxue turned around, met Jiang Tingchen's eyes, and made a phone call. "Perhaps, we can take advantage of this."

The call went through, and Ning Nanxue briefly explained the situation. After hanging up, her expression had calmed down a lot.

"Mr. Wen said that the majority of the board members still support me." Ning Nanxue put down the phone. "They are also worried about Fu Chen's decision to bring in Fengtou Company."

"That's good." Jiang Tingchen relaxed a little. "I was worried that Fu Chen had bribed them with benefits."

"These veteran directors care most about the long-term development of the Fu Group." Ning Nanxue shook her head. "Fengtou Company has a terrible reputation. They won't accept it easily."

Jiang Tingchen held her hand: "No matter what happens tomorrow, I will be by your side."

Ning Nanxue felt the warmth of his palm, and a corner of her heart suddenly became soft.

"Tingchen, thank you." She said softly.

Jiang Tingchen stared at her, his tone gentle but firm: "Xue'er, this is not just to help you. From the day I returned to China, I decided to stand by your side and fight alongside you."

"Even though tomorrow may be difficult?" Ning Nanxue asked.

"Even if it's ten times harder." Jiang Tingchen replied.

After he finished speaking, the office was so quiet that only the faint sound of the central air conditioner could be heard.

Ning Nanxue did not respond immediately. She walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window with her back to him.

Fu Chen's counterattack was swift and fierce. The name Fengtou Company revealed an undisguised aggressiveness.

She suppressed her surging emotions, and her voice was calm: "Tingchen, you should go back and rest first. I need to be alone and quiet to sort out my thoughts."

Jiang Tingchen was silent for a moment, then walked behind her. Without touching her, he whispered, "Okay. Call me anytime if you need anything."

The footsteps faded away and the door was closed gently.

The next afternoon, Secretary Chen entered the office again with two sealed file bags.

"Mr. Ning, this is the preliminary information you requested." Ning Nanxue opened the one about Jiang Tingchen first.

His resume was impressive, he graduated from a prestigious university and had worked for several well-known companies... But as she expected, the information about his most critical years overseas was vague, almost blank.

As for Huayun Group, the information shows that he had a close personal relationship with a senior executive of Huayun, but there is no substantial record of the extent of their relationship and how they were able to mobilize such a huge amount of funds.

It's like someone deliberately erased the traces.

Ning Nanxue put the document down, her heart sinking. She picked up another one, the one about Fengtou Company and the capital injection agreement.

Secretary Chen added quietly, "Mr. Ning, Fengtou's international reputation is indeed... not so good. They specialize in leveraging their capital advantages to conduct leveraged buyouts, often draining the target company's value and then withdrawing, leaving behind a mess."

Ning Nanxue quickly flipped through the copy of the agreement, and her brows furrowed more and more as she read.

The dividend ratio is ridiculously high, almost plundering Fu's future profits.

Many of the clauses implicitly point to the transfer of control. Once Fu Chen fails to meet certain demanding performance bets, Fengtou Company will naturally take over more power.

There was also an inconspicuous supplementary agreement that stipulated extremely high liquidated damages, which almost eliminated the possibility of Fu terminating the cooperation early.

"This isn't an investment; it's a contract of sale." Ning Nanxue closed the document coldly. "Fu Chen really didn't care about anything in order to seize power."

"Yes," Secretary Chen said with a serious expression. "Once this agreement is fully implemented, Fu Corporation will probably become a cash machine for Fengtou Company and may even be split up and sold off."

"He probably thought that as long as he kicked me out, he could control everything, including Fengtou Company." Ning Nanxue picked up a pen and circled several key points in the agreement. "But he underestimated the greed of capital."

I overestimated my abilities.

The cell phone rang, it was Jiang Tingchen.

She picked up the phone.

"Xue'er, have you received the information?" He was referring to some publicly available information about Fengtou Company that he had asked his assistant to send.

"Yes, I got it." Ning Nanxue said calmly, "It's similar to what you said before. He acts radically and has a complicated background."

"The agreement signed by Fu Chen is probably worse than we imagined." Jiang Tingchen's voice came through the receiver, with a hint of subtle solemnity.

"I saw the copy." Ning Nanxue did not specify the source of the copy. "The conditions are ridiculously harsh."

She paused and asked casually, "Tingchen, Fengtou Company operates in secrecy. Their internal information is difficult to find, right?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then Jiang Tingchen's gentle voice came: "It is difficult. However, there is always a way. Do you need me to help you investigate further?"
