Chapter 393 Family Meeting
As soon as Meng Huang said this, there were different reactions in the audience.
Meng Zhenghuai's body seemed to tremble slightly, but his head then drooped even lower and he fell asleep.
Meng Lai did not make any excuses for this, but just smiled slightly, and Aunt Yu beside him remained the same as before, as if she had already known all this.
Meng Shu didn't say anything. She was very calm from head to toe.
She hadn't known about this news before, but she had never expected anything from her grandfather, and without expectations, there was no such thing as loss. Furthermore, it made no difference to her.
Chen Chuan used the information already in the world certificate to check the consciousness coordinator and biological substitute, and found that this was the technology of Yuanren Company.
The biological substitute is the unconscious biological body of the subject, but it can remotely or independently complete the tasks that the original body needs to undertake through the consciousness coordinator.
However, if I wanted to check further, there was nothing there. After all, external contacts are now blocked, and there is nothing except a brief introduction.
But he didn't react much to this, because in his opinion, it was normal for the top management of these companies to use these technologies. They did not possess powerful military force like fighters, and it was not surprising that they used stand-ins to save their lives.
Besides, today they have to face Meng Huang, who may be in collusion with the other side. If Meng Lai really understood this, then it would be strange for him to appear here. Now it is reasonable.
Meng Huang was surprised to see Meng Shu's unusual calmness, which didn't seem like an act. "You really are just like they said, rational and calm. Not bad. If it were a different time period, you would really be a suitable successor. But now, things are different."
Meng Shu looked at him without showing any weakness, her cold eyes showing no aversion. "What's the difference?"
Meng Huang fiddled with his nails. "You should know, well, you know, the changes in the world are about to reach a critical point. The real transformation is right before our eyes. The surging tide is about to drown us..."
He opened his hands and gestured around, as if to include everyone present. "Everyone, everything. Can you lead the company when the tide comes? Can you? Or..." He looked up, "Just take orders from who knows what sitting up there?"
He stared at Meng Shu. "If this is all you can do, I advise you to step aside sooner rather than later. I can promise you that you will never lack anything you have now." He pointed at Meng Lai, who was sitting on the main seat. "It's no different from when this thing was sitting there."
As he spoke, he leaned forward, clasped his hands together, stared at Meng Shu and said, "Well, think about it carefully. Just live your own life peacefully like the other members of the Meng family. Don't cause me any trouble. I can tolerate you."
Meng Lai did not stop them from talking. He turned his deep and meaningful eyes to Meng Shu, as if waiting for her answer.
Meng Shu looked at him and said, "Are you Meng Huang?"
Meng Huang raised his eyebrows.
Meng Shu looked him in the eyes and said with certainty, "You are not." She met Meng Huang's unscrupulous gaze and said, "You are not even a member of the Meng family. You have no right to ask me this."
Meng Zhenghuai's sleepy head paused for a moment and he raised his head slightly.
At this time, slow applause rang out in the living room. Meng Lai clapped his hands lightly and said with satisfaction, "Well said, Xiaoshu, I was not wrong about you."
Meng Huang leaned back, seeming to regret that Meng Shu rejected him, and he just snorted in disdain at Meng Lai's words.
Meng Lai then added, "A company successor, in addition to being excellent, must also be able to assess the situation and make calm and rational decisions at critical moments."
He looked at Meng Huang and said regretfully, "Meng Huang, your performance really disappoints me."
Meng Huang seemed unconcerned. "And then?"
Meng Lai said regretfully, "If you were still the same Meng Huang, I wouldn't consider Meng Shu. But your goal isn't just to get the company. You want something else, and you're already impatient. That thing has already affected you, and it seems to have affected you too deeply.
Originally, I wanted to give you a choice today, hoping that you could make a response that would satisfy both of us, so that we could compromise further, but you didn't even bother to pretend to be the last one."
A dark mist flickered in the depths of Meng Huang's eyes, but it seemed to be just an illusion. He said, "Old man, what do you know?"
He sneered, "You're still thinking with your stubborn, rotten old head, and doing things according to the old rules of the world. You can't do this, you can't do that. You're operating within the rules set by others, and you'll never be able to jump out of the circle they've drawn for you.
Your family business is huge, and your company is huge, but it's all just illusions. As long as the government stops giving you orders, your company will immediately collapse. You are too humble.
Everything you work for is built on loose sand dunes, which will fall down with just a push.
And I…"
He pointed at himself and said, "I worked so hard to expand business channels, find new directions for the company, establish a new technical research laboratory, and strive to prolong the life of the company. What have I gained?
There was not even a promise of inheritance rights.
But now I've figured it out. None of this matters. No matter how well I do, because of the path I've chosen, you no longer consider me your own. Even if I could ride on that throne, what good would it matter? In the end, I'd be just like you, hiding in this body and giving orders.
Fortunately, the world is changing before our eyes, and the things you held on to before are no longer meaningful."
At this point, the muscles on his face seemed to twist unnaturally. "The only thing we should do is embrace greatness and face the changes in the world."
Chen Chuan stared at Meng Huang. From the moment he came in, he had been observing this person's presence, which began to become a little obscure and vague, just like a member of the Meng family wearing certain items.
However, just now, an extremely abnormal change occurred, as if he became irritable and crazy in an instant. He felt between his eyebrows that there seemed to be something extra on his body.
Meng Lai said slowly, "Are you referring to your communication with the other side?" He shook his head, "You're wrong. I don't care whether you really have communicated with the other side. In this day and age, your actions are actually not too extreme.
If you can maintain your sanity and make good use of the other party, making them my collaborator, then I will appreciate you even more and will be more confident in handing over the company's business to you. But if you surrender to the other party, then you are not qualified to lead the company. "
Meng Huang said nonchalantly, "It seems like you're going to confront me today?"
Meng Lai didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Meng Huang continued to talk to himself, "Actually, you've wanted to do this for a long time, but you've been holding back until now because you're worried that I'll be forced to sell out the company, causing even greater damage to it, right? So you've been trying to determine my destructive power and testing my true intentions.
This is fine, I have tolerated you for a long time."
He smiled playfully, "Since you like to follow the rules, then I will play with you this time and use the rules you like to do things...
You just chose Meng Shu as the heir, right? This requires a vote by all members of the Meng family. Now, as a member of the Meng family, I propose that a family meeting be held. If you feel I am not qualified, I can find someone suitable to come."
Meng Lai nodded and said, "This matter will be done sooner or later. So, Xiaoyu, while everyone is here, notify the family members and ask them to receive the signal."
Aunt Yu bowed and immediately called a meeting to all the members of the Meng family. Not long after, a light curtain was cast from the top, and members of the Meng family appeared there one by one. There were more than 30 people in total, most of whom were directors of the Fusion Boundary Company.
Meng Lai said, "You should have heard about this. I have chosen Xiaoshu as the successor to the company. Tell me what you think."
Someone immediately spoke up: "Second Uncle, should we reconsider this? Xiaoshu is still too young. Why don't we wait a few more years?"
"Yes, she hasn't been involved in the company's business. Why not let her take charge of one part first? If she does well, then let her continue. If she doesn't, that's fine too. With so many outstanding young people in the family, are you worried about not finding the right one?"
"I think Xiao Huang is quite good. He has been working diligently over the past few years, respecting the elders in the family and caring for the younger generations. Isn't Second Brother satisfied with him?"
Meng Lai hummed and said, "Everyone, please speak up." He looked aside and said, "Meng Jing, what do you think?"
The person named seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Second brother, this... you decide. I have no opinion on this matter. Xiaoshu is good, Xiaohuang is not bad either."
Meng Lai asked another person, and the answers given were roughly the same. After everyone expressed their opinions, except for a few who expressed their willingness to support Meng Shu, most people supported Meng Huang.
Meng Huang opened his hands and said playfully, "See? Your proposal will never pass. What do you want? Are you still going to follow the rules?"
Meng Lai didn't seem troubled by the current situation at all. He said calmly and confidently, "Of course the rules must be followed. A reckless person cannot sit in this position. I respect the decision of the family meeting, but..."
He looked at Meng Huang, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, and said slowly: "Like Xiaoshu just said, are you still Meng Huang?"
Chen Chuan suddenly felt something at this moment, his eyes fixed, and he looked at the second me, which showed faint signs of blurring.
Meng Huang frowned, he seemed to feel something, his eyelids were twitching, and the muscles and skin on his face were slowly bulging, as if something was trying to come out from inside.
"you……"
He immediately tried to stand up, but just a slight movement caused the entire sofa to fall over. He covered his face with his hands, his body shaking constantly, and his figure, which fell to the side, began to become distorted and weird, and gradually began to expand outward.
