Fu Chen's Adam's apple rolled. Facing Ning Nanxue's heart-piercing question, every word was like a slap in his face.

Command? What could he use to command the Ning family now? His face?

He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Ning Nanxue was not interested in appreciating his gloomy face, nor did she need his answer. The answer was already written on everyone's face.

She took Jiang Tingchen's arm and said, "Tingchen, let's go to Ning's to see Secretary Chen. He should be settled."

Jiang Tingchen smiled at her gently and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two of them turned around as if no one was around and left the meeting room cleanly and efficiently.

The heavy conference room door closed with a click, isolating the outside world and trapping Fu Chen and Su Yao in the extremely oppressive silence.

For a few seconds, perhaps longer, you could hear a pin drop in the conference room.

Fu Chen's chest heaved violently, like a dying fish.

He turned to Su Yao suddenly, and the calmness he had deliberately maintained before completely collapsed. His voice was hoarse and violent like a wounded beast: "Su Yao! This is your bad idea! Annexing the Ning family? Ah? What about now? You failed to gain anything! Are you happy? Are you satisfied? "

The blood vessels on his forehead bulged as if they were about to burst.

Su Yao shuddered slightly. When Jiang Tingchen announced his decision, the color on her face faded completely, and she still hasn't recovered.

She was still in the confusion and shock of being hit hard by someone, especially when she thought about how so many investments of Huayun Group were inextricably linked to Ning Nanxue's name, she felt a chill.

This is simply making fun of her and Fu Chen!

Hearing Fu Chen's roar, the fear in her heart was replaced by anger.

"Fu Chen, are you putting all the blame on me now?" Su Yao's voice also rose, with a hint of sharpness, "Who said that Ning Nanxue was not to be feared? Who said that annexing the Ning family would make your position in the Fu family more stable? When I proposed it, didn't you also think this was a good opportunity? Now that something has gone wrong, it's all my fault?"

She took a step forward, meeting Fu Chen's murderous gaze without yielding. "Jiang Tingchen didn't even give the Su family face! This... this is tantamount to declaring war on our Su family! Once Huayun Group withdraws its investment, what will happen to the huge hole in the Fu family? Have you thought about it? Can getting angry at me here solve the problem?"

"Solve the problem?" Fu Chen seemed to have heard a huge joke. His eyes were red and he growled, "How are you going to solve it? What Huayun withdrew, can money solve it? That's the life of the New Energy Laboratory! It's the core technology of the Fu family for the next few years! It's the market channel! Can you, Su Yao, give me these things?"

He paced back and forth irritably, like a caged beast. "Ning Nanxue! Jiang Tingchen! Those two lunatics! How could they do such a thing! If Greenlight Technology collapses, those old guys on the board will eat me alive!"

He stopped and pointed at Su Yao's nose: "It's all you! If you hadn't kept talking about Ning Nanxue in my ear all day long and instigated me to deal with her, how could things have turned out like this?"

"I instigated you?" Su Yao laughed angrily, "Fu Chen, tell me honestly, you have no feelings for Ning Nanxue at all? Who forced her away in the first place? Now that she has found a backer and is back to fight back, you have the nerve to blame me?"

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, even though she was also feeling angry in her chest.

"What's the point of blaming each other now? Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen, they must be celebrating now! If we fight among ourselves first, won't it make them laugh at us?" Su Yao's tone softened a bit, but still stinging. "Fu Chen, are you willing to do this? Just watch the Fu family being trampled down by them? Haven't you always been ambitious?"

"Willingly?" Fu Chen squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, his eyes frighteningly sinister. "I, Fu Chen, have never lost so miserably in my life! Ning Nanxue... Jiang Tingchen... I will never let them have it easy!"

"Who can't talk big?" Su Yao asked back, "Once Huayun's funding chain is broken, Fu's stock price will plummet tomorrow. If the bank comes to collect the debt again, and the board of directors makes trouble again, what can you use to fight them?"

Fu Chen's breathing was heavy, he was well aware of his current predicament.

"We must find new investment!" he gritted his teeth, "and quickly! We must be able to fill the technological and market gaps left by Huayun!"

Su Yao snorted coldly: "That's easy to say. Jiang Tingchen's move is equivalent to stripping Fu's underwear and telling the world that Fu's is no longer viable. At this time, who would risk offending Huayun and the Jiang family to take over Fu's mess? Even if there is, can you, Fu Chen, accept the conditions they put forward? "

Fu Chen's expression became even uglier.

Of course he understood that there are few people who help others in times of need, but many who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

"Su family," he stared at Su Yao, "hasn't your Su family been operating overseas for many years? You must have some connections, right? At this time, your Su family can't just stand by and watch someone die?"

Su Yao sneered in her heart. Now she thinks of the Su family? What did she do earlier?

"The Su family's connections weren't just random luck. Besides, Jiang Tingchen did this because he knew we would seek external help. No one can say for sure if he has other plans behind the scenes."

Su Yao left room for herself: "I will try my best to ask. But Fu Chen, if the Su family feels that the risk is too great after evaluation and is unwilling to intervene, don't blame me for not reminding you."

She didn't want to lose the entire Su family.

Fu snorted heavily and didn't press any further.

Su Yao looked at his back with mixed feelings. She and Fu Chen were originally a cooperative that each got what they needed, but now, they were about to become a pair of drowned dogs.

She adjusted her composure and said, "Fu Chen, no matter what, we're in the same boat now. What are you going to do about the Ning Corporation? Are you going to let Secretary Chen off so easily? Ning Nanxue has absorbed all of Huayun's resources, and it will only become increasingly difficult to deal with them."

Fu Chen turned around slowly, the frenzy on his face faded a little, replaced by a gloomy calculation.

"Secretary Chen? He's just a pawn, insignificant." His voice was cold and hard. "Ning Nanxue thought that by relying on Jiang Tingchen and swallowing up Huayun's resources, she could sit back and relax and make Ning's company bigger and stronger? She is too naive!"

A stern look flashed in his eyes: "Su Yao, do a few things immediately. First, contact several major cooperative banks of Fu's and feel out their opinions. I want to know their current attitude. Second, find a way to spread the news that Fu's Group is negotiating an unprecedented overseas strategic investment. The financial and technical support far exceeds Huayun, and the future is promising."

Su Yao was startled: "Is this... a smoke bomb? If it is exposed, wouldn't it be more embarrassing?"
