Chapter 483 Identity
I have to admit that when John saw the photo Tang Shuo handed him, his first reaction was not happiness or excitement, but deep fear.
Looking at the two bodies entangled together in the photo, John felt sick.
In fact, when he asked Tang Shuo out loud, he already had the answer in his heart. But he still held on to some hope, but this hope was completely destroyed by Tang Shuo in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of his father's lukewarm attitude towards his mother and some small details in their previous life, John suddenly felt a chill on his back, and the hand holding the phone began to tremble involuntarily.
In extreme panic, John's thoughts became clearer.
The fact that Kerry Barber concealed his sexual orientation was not the crux of the matter; the focus now was on his ancestry.
If he was not the son of Cribber, let alone inheriting the Burberry family, it would be entirely possible that he would even be kicked out once his identity was exposed.
John looked at Tang Shuo and asked hesitantly, "Then I..."
Tang Shuo nodded and answered in a cryptic way, "Very likely."
John swallowed and asked in confusion, "What should I do?"
"I know you may not believe what I say now, but you can go for an appraisal first." Tang Shuo suggested enthusiastically: "Let's talk about it after the results come out." Yawan made a big move.
"The issue of identity is not important." John shook his head and said, "I want to inherit the Burberry family. What should I do now?"
A hint of smile flashed across Tang Shuo's eyes. He said, "I'm showing this to you just to prepare you mentally. When you go back, you must pretend that nothing happened."
"I understand," John agreed.
In fact, even if Tang Shuo didn't say it, he would pretend to do so.
John knew clearly that revealing the truth would do him no good at all. From this perspective, the truth of the matter was not that important.
"Please keep an eye on Todd Lawrence's movements for me, and inform me if anything happens." After a pause, Tang Shuo continued with a smile, "Perhaps you won't have to wait too long to inherit Burberry."
John frowned in confusion. He couldn't imagine how this could possibly relate to his inheritance. He thought for a moment and said, "My father... Clay Barber was at your company yesterday. He and Todd should be making some big moves soon."
"Perhaps something unexpected will happen," Tang Shuo said with a smile. "Anyway, you should pay more attention to this matter. You should also show yourselves more during this period and appear in the media as often as possible on behalf of Burberry. As for the specifics of how to do it, I don't need to teach you."
"I will," John promised.
…
Kuncheng, Datang Pharmaceutical.
Chen Xuan sat in his office, looking at the investment plan in front of him with a stern expression.
Seeing that the situation was almost heated, Ma Kun encouraged him, "Mr. Chen, that bitch Jia Ting has completely ignored you. She just issued an investment plan worth nearly 100 million yuan without even discussing it with you."
"Watch your words!" Chen Xuan glanced at Ma Kun's face and said in a deep voice, "She is, after all, the vice president of the company. She should still be treated with the necessary respect."
"Respect what?"
Ma Kun retorted, "Everyone below is saying that Jia Ting is the boss of the company, and you're just a dispensable underling. And in my opinion, Jia Ting's quiet behavior recently was all for this incident today."
Chen Xuan placed the information on the table and said in silence, "Is that really what everyone says?"
"That's right." Ma Kun nodded immediately and replied, "And there are even more unpleasant words."
Chen Xuan resisted the urge to question the other party and was silent for a while before saying, "There is absolutely no problem with this plan. It is completely in the interests of the company. There is absolutely no problem at all."
"But she didn't even inform you of such a large investment plan in advance. That's really inappropriate," Ma Kun said. "I'm not trying to sow discord between you, but if this continues, I'm afraid your position in the company will only decline."
Chen Xuan frowned, glanced at Ma Kun's face, and asked, "So what do you think we should do?"
Ma Kun's face lit up with joy, and he immediately replied, "Of course, we should go and ask the other party in person, and then find a way to refute this plan. That would be more in your personal best interest."
"How should we do it specifically?" Chen Xuan asked.
Ma Kun immediately laid out the plan he had prepared long ago, and chattered on and on to help Chen Xuan introduce it, without noticing the mocking look in Chen Xuan's eyes.
"As long as we can get half of the votes in the company's board of directors, then Jia Ting will never be able to make any more noises again."
"How can we guarantee that we will get half of the votes?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen." Ma Kun smiled complacently and replied, "I can handle these things."
"OK."
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Just do as you say. Please make an appointment with Ms. Jia for me. I will negotiate with her face to face first."
"No problem." Ma Kun stood up with a happy face and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Seeing Ma Kun preparing to leave, Chen Xuan immediately said, "Wait a moment."
Ma Kun asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else?"
"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Chen Xuan looked at Ma Kun sincerely and said, "There may be changes in the company's personnel organization next month. I will arrange for you in advance then."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
After leaving Chen Xuan's office, Ma Kun immediately walked to the corner of the corridor, dialed a number on his mobile phone, and said, "It's been done. There will definitely be no problem this time."
A very cold voice came from the other end of the line. "You seem to have made this promise many times, but the conflict between these two people has never been intensified."
Ma Kun hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem this time."
"My money wasn't wasted." After a pause, the person on the other end of the line threatened, "If this doesn't produce the results I expect, I'll make you spit out the same thing you ate."
"Sure." Ma Kun responded sullenly.
…
As Ma Kun expected, when Chen Xuan went to Jia Ting's office to question her, the two sides inevitably had the most intense conflict in history.
In the emergency meeting held that evening, Chen Xuan successfully rejected Jia Ting's proposal with a two-vote advantage.
Jia Ting seemed unwilling to give in and directly rejected a personnel appointment that Chen Xuan had just proposed, without even giving a reason.
When a conflict arises between two company leaders, the ones who suffer naturally are the employees below them.
However, Ma Kun was undoubtedly an exception. Although his appointment letter was rejected, it did not affect his mood at all.
Ma Kun returned to the villa he had recently bought. The moment he opened the door, he keenly noticed that there seemed to be several figures in the living room.
"Who is it?" Ma Kun asked vigilantly, and his hand reached out to the dagger on Bie Zai's waist.
"Xiao Kun."
Hearing the man's voice on the sofa, Ma Kun's nervousness instantly relaxed. He immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, why did you come to Kuncheng? Why didn't you notify me in advance so I could pick you up?"
Whack…
Ma Kun turned on the light switch next to him. When he saw the figures in the living room clearly, he felt a little uneasy.
"Come here first." Shi Da pointed to the sofa next to him.
Ma Kun walked up to the other person in confusion, forced a smile and said, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"
Shi Da ignored Ma Kun's question, looked up at the living room and said, "It seems like you've been doing well recently."
Ma Kun's expression changed, and he replied, "I was lucky a few days ago and got a big order, so I have some money on hand."
"Really?" Shi Da said, "Do you remember what I told you when I handed the Swallow Gate over to you?"
