Fu Chen's unyielding tone made her feel very unhappy. Why did he speak to her like that?

But when he thought of his position in the Fu Group's management and that he still had to rely on him to get Ning Nanxue away, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart.

She responded vaguely a few times and hung up, feeling even more confused. She paced back and forth in the living room, always feeling that something was wrong.

A few days later, a piece of news shocked the entire business world.

The Fu Group held an impromptu press conference.

The venue was already packed with people, and reporters were whispering and guessing what the press conference would say.

Ning Nanxue walked onto the stage and the place suddenly became quiet.

The light shone on her, and there was no expression on her face, and her eyes couldn't tell whether she was afraid or retreating.

She coughed into the microphone, glanced around the audience, and her voice echoed throughout the venue: "Thank you all media friends for coming today. On behalf of the Fu Group, I have a decision to announce."

The people below even breathed lighter.

"In order for the Fu Group to develop further and become more stable," Ning Nanxue spoke slowly, each word clearly. "After much consideration, I have decided to step back and no longer be involved in the group's daily operations. The future of the Fu Group will be handed over to Mr. Fu Chen."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in complete chaos! Reporters rushed to raise their recorders and cameras, asking questions one after another:

"Boss Ning! Is this your own will?"

"Have you been under too much pressure recently?"

"With Mr. Fu Chen taking over, will the internal fighting within the Fu family stop?"

"What impact will this have on the Fu family in the future?"

Ning Nanxue raised her hand and asked everyone to be quiet.

Her face remained calm. "I made this decision based on the company's overall perspective. I believe Mr. Fu Chen has the ability to do this. It's not convenient to say anything else right now. That's all for today's press conference. Thank you."

After saying that, she left under the escort of security, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

The news spread throughout the city in just an hour.

Xu Zhiru saw the live broadcast in Fu Chen's villa.

She sat next to Fu Chen, looking at Ning Nanxue's expressionless face on TV, and subconsciously grabbed Fu Chen's clothes.

"Ah Chen...she...she really doesn't care anymore?"

Fu Chen looked at the screen, his eyes changing emotions several times.

He was a little surprised that Ning Nanxue was so straightforward.

Xu Zhao, who was sitting opposite them, twitched the corner of his mouth. He picked up the coffee and took a sip. His eyes moved to Fu Chen's face without saying anything.

This Ning Nanxue really doesn't follow common sense. Put Fu Chen in the front and let him take the bullet?

At the same time, Jiang Tingchen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in Ning Nanxue's office, watching the reporters gradually disperse downstairs.

Ning Nanxue pushed the door open and came in, taking off the coat she wore at the press conference. Her face looked a little tired, but her eyes were still bright.

"You did everything we asked you to do." Jiang Tingchen turned around, walked to her side, reached out to help her smooth her hair, and said softly, "You must be tired, Xue'er."

Ning Nanxue leaned against him, absorbing his warmth. "Push him forward. If Martin makes any moves, let him take over. Let him deal with the mess inside the Fu family. We need time to secretly find an opportunity to turn the tables."

"Well," Jiang Tingchen hugged her, "This game of chess with the Fu family has only just begun. You'll probably encounter even more things later."

"I'm not afraid." Ning Nanxue raised her head and looked at him with a steady gaze. "As long as you are here, I'm not afraid."

The business community is talking about this matter, with all kinds of opinions.

Some people praised her for her courage, others guessed that she had no choice but to do so, and many were waiting to see how things would end after Fu Chen took over.

When the Fu Group was pushed to the forefront, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen quietly left the public eye.

Within a few days, the rumor spread: Ning Nanxue decided to retire early and went on vacation to a coastal city in the south with Jiang Tingchen.

The message also included several blurry photos taken at the airport. In the photos, the two people were very close to each other, and Ning Nanxue had a rare relaxed expression on her face.

No one guessed that the lights in Ning Nanxue's office were on the night before leaving the city.

"Secretary Chen, after I leave, Fu Chen will be in charge of the company's public affairs. But privately, you must sort out how each large amount of Fu's funds moved, who moved to important positions, especially Fu Chen and Xu Zhao, and anyone who had dealings with the name 'Martin'. You must sort it out as soon as possible and send it to me using the method we agreed on." Ning Nanxue handed Secretary Chen a check and gave serious instructions.

Secretary Chen adjusted his glasses, his expression extremely serious. "Don't worry, Mr. Ning, I understand everything. You and Mr. Jiang are out there, so please be careful."

Jiang Tingchen, who was standing next to him, chimed in, "Information security is a top priority. Fu Chen and Xu Zhao are not to be trifled with, and their people might be watching. Everything should be done according to the encryption process we established earlier."

"Understood, Mr. Jiang." Secretary Chen responded.

Ning Nanxue looked out the window at the night view of the city, her eyes calm. "Fu Chen taking that position is just the beginning. He has to deal with more than just the old relationships in the company. We've given him this step, and it depends on whether he can stand firm."

After explaining everything clearly and confirming that Secretary Chen had taken note of it, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen left.

The next day, they showed up at the airport just as the rumors said.

When they ran into a few media outlets, Jiang Tingchen simply put his arm around Ning Nanxue's shoulders, smiled, and said, "Xue'er has been tired for too long. Let's find a quiet place to stay for a while."

The scenery of the resort hotels in the south is really nice.

Ning Nanxue changed into a comfortable long skirt, walked barefoot on the soft sand, and the sea breeze blew her hair.

Jiang Tingchen walked beside her, holding two glasses of cold juice in his hands.

"Looking at it this way, it really seems like we're here on vacation." Ning Nanxue took the cup and took a sip, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You have to act your part." Jiang Tingchen looked at her with a warm tone, "Besides, you should take a break."

The two of them found a lounge chair and sat down, as if looking at the sea, but their eyes were fixed on Jiang Tingchen's mobile phone on the small table.

On the screen was an encrypted message just sent by Secretary Chen. After decrypting it, it revealed some new developments within the Fu Group.

"Fu Chen is quite quick and has already moved the heads of several departments." Ning Nanxue swiped her finger across the screen. "Xu Zhao has been quite honest these past few days and hasn't been to the company."

"So what if he's dishonest?" Jiang Tingchen analyzed, "Now that Fu Chen has the upper hand, Xu Zhao jumping out will give Fu Chen a good handle. He's either watching from the sidelines or waiting for news from Martin."

Ning Nanxue nodded. "Secretary Chen said that Fu Chen privately spoke with several old directors who were previously neutral. His tone was quite tough. It seems that he wants to quickly seize power."

"Okay." Jiang Tingchen shook her hand. "I've already asked someone to do it. The Fu family's ship is just beginning to stir, and it's not easy to be the helmsman."

Ning Nanxue leaned towards him. His palm was warm. "As long as we can bring him and Xu Zhao and the others down, we'll do anything."
