Chapter 65 Character Collapses, Everyone Hates Him
Zhou Yanci swallowed hard, and said with difficulty, "Does it have to be this way?"
"You just said that as long as I solve the company's problems, you can do whatever you want with me."
Shang Wu's voice was contemptuous: "I need you to agree to this right now. Are you willing to do it or not?"
The shareholders looked at Zhou Yanci's hesitant appearance and were all disappointed in her.
"For a woman who abandoned you to go abroad three years ago, you gave up your ready-made fiancée, disregarded the company's losses, and now that you've done something wrong, you won't even give Mr. Shang a fair chance!"
They started calling Shang Wu "President Shang," treating her as if she were the company's current president.
Shang Wu stepped forward, the tips of his shoes making a crisp sound on the cold tiles, as if he was ready to pull the trigger and shoot someone in the head.
Her tone left no room for refusal, her gaze mocking as if she were looking at something in the palm of her hand: "Zhou Yanci, this is the only chance I'll give you to forgive me. You can decide for yourself whether you want it or not."
The light in Zhou Yanci's eyes completely disappeared.
He gritted his teeth: "Okay, I agree, I'll sign the agreement."
Shang Wu smiled slightly and turned to face everyone.
"We need to have a meeting to discuss the next steps. You can leave now."
She ruthlessly chased people away.
Zhou Yanci was embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only leave, looking back every few steps.
After everyone left, Shang Wu slowly and deeply exhaled.
Before her stood the company seal that the shareholders had given her.
With Zhang in charge, she made all the decisions in the company.
When she first arrived here, the shareholders threatened her to run the jewelry department properly, and she only agreed to add this new department because of Zhou Yanci.
Now, the entire shareholders' meeting is under Shang Wu's control, and everyone has to be at her beck and call.
Shang Wu lowered her eyes, picked up the seal, her hands trembling as she tried to maintain a calm demeanor, though her heart had been boiling for a long time.
Zhou Yanci was forced to leave the company, and the child she had tried so hard to protect became an illegitimate child.
Even if his relationship with Shen Mian is true love, it will constantly remind him that this woman is the culprit who caused him to lose his position as president and ruin his image.
This feeling is really great.
Shang Wu gracefully took her seat and looked at everyone.
"Let's begin the meeting."
...
A tense and serious meeting is taking place in the conference room.
Zhou Yanci felt as if all her strength had been drained, and she stumbled and staggered down the stairs.
Along the way, they were met with countless strange looks.
The company has already notified Zhou Yanci of her suspension and that Shang Wu will temporarily assume the position of president.
Based on the news online, the way everyone was looking at Zhou Yanci at this moment was as if they had never met him before.
In everyone's eyes, Zhou Yanci was flawless.
With deep affection, when the business case caused a huge uproar and everyone was trying to avoid it, he bent down and reached out to pull his beloved out of the abyss.
He was devoted to Shang Wu and cherished her for three years as always.
He excels at his work, leading the group step by step to better results. He is a steady and reliable leader.
In their work group, a saying circulated among the female employees: "If you're going to marry, marry Zhou Yanci, otherwise you'll be single forever."
But now, that statement has become a complete joke, an irony of Zhou Yanci's perfect persona that she has maintained for so many years.
"My God, I never imagined he would hook up with that Miss Shen, it's disgusting!"
"Miss Shang must be heartbroken and in pain. She's been betrayed and now she has to shoulder the burden of the company when it's falling apart. How long will she have to keep this company going all by herself?"
"I originally thought that President Zhou was the reliable umbrella that could hold Chengzhou up, but who knew that the umbrella was held by someone else."
The numerous voices of condemnation were like barbed whips, lashing at Zhou Yanci.
He swayed, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground before even leaving the company gate.
Some people exclaimed in surprise, but no one dared to come over and help him up.
They all felt it was bad luck, and looked at Zhou Yanci as if she were a monstrous flood, avoiding her at all costs.
Zhou Yanci sat under the bright lights of the hall, his eyes dim, and suddenly let out a soft scoff.
He schemed for three years to get everything, and now he has nothing left.
After painstakingly defeating Zhou Ze'an and using the merchants to support Cheng Zhou all the way to this point, he finally got his wish and brought back the white moonlight who abandoned him three years ago to have a child with him.
He was clearly the winner in life, so why did things turn out like this?
When did he begin to gradually lose control of everything and the situation?
Zhou Yanci struggled to her feet, her eyes dark as she clenched her fists. She took out her phone and called Xiao Dong.
It took Xiao Dong a long time to answer the phone, and he lowered his voice: "I'm in a meeting with President Shang right now, President Zhou, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yanci interrupted him.
"After your meeting, please do me a favor!"
Xiao Dong was taken aback: "What's wrong? I still have to work. Now that President Shang is acting president, there are many things that we need to work on together."
Zhou Yanci angrily rebuked, "I only asked you to keep an eye on Shang Wu and see what she does every day as acting president! Is that so hard?! Don't forget who brought you to this position!"
Xiao Dong quickly agreed: "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will keep an eye on it."
Zhou Yanci hung up the phone, her eyes dark, and sent a message to Chenmian.
Don't panic.
Things haven't completely spiraled out of control yet.
Shang Wu has already forgiven him; all he needs to do is sever ties with Chen Mian and demonstrate his loyalty.
Sooner or later, Shang Wu will return the CEO position to him.
Once this storm passes and he has paid all the compensation he owes, he can start over and make a comeback.
Right now, I need to show my loyalty to Shang Wu and get married as soon as possible.
In this way, he would not be afraid of any unexpected events.
He can bind Shang Wu tightly.
As long as the shareholders need Shangwu to make money, they need him.
Zhou Yanci made up her mind, opened the car door and was about to get in when she saw a figure walking towards her from not far away.
The man stood against the cold wind, holding documents that hadn't yet been put into the bag.
The documents were blown about wildly, but he walked with steady steps, exuding a solemn air.
Noticing the gaze directed at him, Lu Rang glanced at Zhou Yanci as if he hadn't seen him, then looked away and walked directly into the company building.
Zhou Yanci suddenly broke down and strode after him.
He raised his hand to stop Lu Rang, in a demanding tone.
"Wait, what are you doing here?"
Lu Rang replied calmly, "I'm here to deliver documents to President Shang."
Several employees were already looking over from a short distance away.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Yanci frowned, staring intently at Lu Rang, a strange sense of irritation rising within her.
At this time, Lu Rang could not stay in front of Shang Wu.
He still wanted to do everything he could to admit his mistake and make amends, not wanting to lose face in front of Lu Rang.
Furthermore, this incredibly handsome man followed Shang Wu closely from beginning to end, getting close to her and doing things for her.
Who knows if she'll try to seduce Shang Wu and climb the social ladder?
Now that Shang Wu has become the acting president, does that mean Lu Rang will come along and act as her legal advisor?
Within the group, all legal teams are from Jinshui.
Lu Rang, a member of Dingfeng Law Firm, was inherently at odds with Jinshui Law Firm and they were competitors.
It's dangerous to suddenly become someone close to the CEO.
Zhou Yanci suddenly moved closer and grabbed Lu Rang's tie.
Lu Rang's eyes flashed with coldness as he glanced at his hand: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, staring at him fiercely with murderous intent.
“I can give this CEO position to Shang Wu first; she and I will be family sooner or later. But you can’t. You’re from Dingfeng Law Firm, and I won’t let you work in the group. Just wait to be fired!”
Lu Rang's expression was indifferent as he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
A sharp pain struck.
Zhou Yanci's fingers started to cramp from the pain, and she couldn't control herself, so she loosened Lu Rang's tie.
Lu Rang held his hand, looking down at him, watching his arrogant expression turn into unbearable pain before finally shaking him off.
He said leisurely, "Whether I work here or not is up to President Shang. But you, a cheating scoundrel who can't control his lower body, what right do you have to threaten me?"
Zhou Yanci's face grew paler and paler. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could rush up and attack.
Lu Rang didn't look at him again, shifting his gaze without any emotion.
Just as he was about to lift his foot, Zhou Yanci, afraid that he wouldn't hear her in time, scolded, "Once this storm has passed, I will marry Shang Wu! Even if you can stay by her side temporarily, how long can you last?"
Lu Rang paused, his eyes gradually darkening and becoming deep.
"Don't think I can't see through your thoughts! The way you look at Shang Wu is anything but innocent!"
Lu Rang had his back to him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally had a reaction.
He gave Zhou Yanci a mocking look, his eyes filled with a sharp edge.
"You're keeping a pregnant woman on the side and you still have the nerve to talk about marriage? Instead of looking for rivals all over the world, you should learn to be a decent human being first."
Zhou Yanci opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He could only watch as Lu Rang walked into the company without looking back.
This man didn't deny that he was interested in Shang Wu!
Everything is over, everything is out of control.
His eyes were sinister, and he rushed over excitedly, shouting.
"I saved Shangwu from dire straits! You can't beat me!"
Everyone stared at Zhou Yanci in astonishment, as if they were looking at a madman who had suddenly gone berserk.
"Even if I hurt her, in her eyes, I am still the savior she should be grateful to for the rest of her life!"
He had already entered the elevator; only the employees heard his ridiculous declaration.
Zhou Yanci gritted her teeth, with only one thought in her mind—
I'll marry Shang Wu, no matter what it takes!
