"Yes, yes, Mr. Fu, I have an appointment with an important client, and the time is almost up!"

"Oh my! My wife just sent me a message saying the baby isn't feeling well. I have to go back right away!"

"Mr. Fu, I'm so sorry, I also have an urgent meeting to attend."

The directors seemed to have found a lifeline, and they were chattering about excuses. Without waiting for Fu Chen to say anything, they had already stood up and walked towards the door.

They walked very fast, fearing that they would be affected by the people behind them.

In just a few minutes, there were only four of them left in the office. This way, Meng Nanxue didn't have to worry about what she said being too blunt. She could just come straight to the point, expose the two people's conspiracy, and state her own position.

Su Yao hurriedly stood up, forcing a smile on her face: "Nanxue, don't misunderstand Ah Chen. We just think that since you have let go, we won't bother you with these little things."

"Really?" Ning Nanxue's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Whether I'm a nuisance or not is my own business. But Miss Su, you've only just acquired shares and aren't the largest shareholder of the Fu Group. Yet you're giving orders at the Fu Group's board meeting and discussing how to 'optimize' Ning's businesses. Mr. Fu, don't you think this is a bit... against the rules?"

Fu Chen's face turned cold: "Ning's is originally a subsidiary of Fu's! Miss Su's plan is beneficial to the group! Ning Nanxue, don't mess with it here! You came here today, didn't you see Su Yao invested money, you are jealous, and want to come back to reap the benefits? "

Ning Nanxue burst out laughing after hearing this, and the laughter was particularly clear in the empty conference room.

"Mr. Fu, you look down on me, Ning Nanxue, too much. Miss Su, how much money she invests has nothing to do with me, and I'm not jealous. What's more, I really don't care about the small amount Miss Su invested. I came here today, besides attending the meeting, for another reason."

She paused and looked at the empty seat behind Fu Chen.

"Where is Secretary Chen?" Ning Nanxue asked deliberately.

Fu Chen frowned even more tightly: "Do you have something to do with him?"

"It's not a big deal." Ning Nanxue said in a relaxed tone, "I just want to tell President Fu that Secretary Chen doesn't seem to be happy at Fu Group and isn't getting what he deserves. So, I'm making the decision on your behalf and letting him 'leave' Fu Group. From now on, he's part of our Ning Group."

"What did you say?" Fu Chen's anger quickly flared up. "Ning Nanxue, how dare you let him go without my permission?"

"Mr. Fu, are you saying Secretary Chen is your Fu family's private property?" Ning Nanxue said without hesitation, "He's an employee of the Fu family, not your appendage. What the Fu family can't give him, my Ning family can. Oh, by the way, let me remind you, Mr. Fu, that the Ning Group used to be a subsidiary of the Fu family, yes, but it has always been named Ning. As the chairman of the Ning Group, I should have the power to decide whether a secretary stays or leaves, right?"

Fu Chen snorted coldly, "Ning Group is a subsidiary of Fu Group. This will never change! All matters of Ning Group must ultimately be handled by the head office! Even if you get him over there, he still has to listen to me!"

"Is that so?" Ning Nanxue had an elusive smile on her lips, and her expression was like she was looking at a naughty child.

Jiang Tingchen, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time.

His voice was gentle, yet it carried a weight that could not be ignored: "Mr. Fu, you may be disappointed about this matter."

Fu Chen and Su Yao's eyes fell on him at the same time.

Jiang Tingchen looked at Fu Chen and said word by word, "Huayun Group has decided to withdraw all investment projects in Fu Group immediately."

"What did you say?" Fu Chen's voice rose involuntarily, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Su Yao was also stunned, and the color on her face quickly faded away.

Jiang Tingchen continued his narration calmly, "This includes, but is not limited to, the initial funding provided for the Fu Group's Green Light Technology project, as well as the subsequent investment in manpower, core technology support, and related market channel resources to support the development of several other key projects of the Fu Group."

Fu Chen's lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a word.

Greenlight Technology was the big bet he placed on the Fu family for the next few years. It was his trump card to consolidate his position and even to help the Fu family move forward.

Huayun’s funds and technology are the lifeblood of this project.

"These funds and resources," Jiang Tingchen's gaze softened as he turned to Ning Nanxue, "will all be transferred to the Ning Group. Mr. Fu, you should be aware that many of Huayun's early investments and collaborations were made directly through Xue'er's personal name and the channels she controlled. Doing this now is a return of the treasure to Zhao, and it's reasonable and logical."

"Jiang Tingchen!" Fu Chen finally managed to squeeze out a sound. He practically roared, the blood vessels on his forehead bulging. "You're kicking me when I'm down! You're not keeping your word!"

Su Yao also recovered. She looked at Jiang Tingchen with a hint of pleading and disbelief in her voice: "Tingchen, how could you do this? Those are the most important projects of Fu's! If you take all these away, Fu's will...will collapse!"

Her heart was in turmoil.

She always thought that Huayun’s investment was an independent business behavior, but she never imagined that so many key collaborations were tied to Ning Nanxue’s name!

Doesn't this mean that from the very beginning, Ning Nanxue had the cards in her hand that could cause serious damage to the Fu family, and she, Su Yao, and Fu Chen, were completely unaware of this! What kind of thing is this? Was she being played for a fool?

Jiang Tingchen didn't look at Fu Chen's distorted face, but said to Su Yao in a businesslike tone: "Ms. Su, business cooperation is based on mutual trust and common interests. After internal evaluation, Huayun Group believes that the future development space and investment returns of the Ning Group and Fu Group under Xue'er's leadership will be more impressive. This is just our normal business decision adjustment, not a kick when it's down."

He turned his gaze back to Fu Chen, his voice calm and composed, "As for the credit issue you mentioned, Mr. Fu, I think he probably misremembered it. Every collaboration between Huayun and the Fu Group has clear contractual terms. We are now merely exercising our rights within the framework permitted by the contract."

Fu Chen's fingers were shaking with anger. He pointed at Jiang Tingchen and then turned to Ning Nanxue: "You...you guys...are fine, very fine!"

Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen smiled at each other: "So this is the surprise you gave me, I really like it."

She reached out and gently patted the back of Jiang Tingchen's hand soothingly, signaling him not to waste any more words.

She met Fu Chen's eyes that were almost spitting fire, and her heart was calm.

"Mr. Fu," Ning Nanxue said, a hint of chill in her voice, "So now, do you still think that the Ning Group needs to completely obey your Fu Group's command?"
