"Brother, let's talk."
She sat down and explained everything to Shang Yunshen.
Lu Rang was afraid that she hadn't thought things through and didn't understand his symptoms before rushing into a relationship.
Even though he deliberately triggered his illness to show Shang Wu another side of him, he did it despite the risk of scaring her away. He was responsible and honest.
After listening quietly to what Shang Wu had to say, Shang Yun Shen, with a complicated expression, finally gave his opinion.
“I’m genuinely happy for what he did for you. If it weren’t for this illness, there would be nothing to object to. But do you know why your parents didn’t object just now?”
Shang Wu said without hesitation: "Because my parents think I've suffered too much in relationships. Now that I've finally found someone I like, they don't care even if he has a mental illness."
Shang Yun Shen nodded: "Yes, but all of this is based on the premise that Mother does not know that Lu Rang is a member of the Yu family."
Shang Wu was stunned and blurted out, "The Yu family is the kind of family that everyone in Lincheng would kill to get close to. Does Mother not allow me to have any contact with the Yu family?!"
The Yu family's status in the entire Lincheng is quite ambiguous.
Their involvement in business is tantamount to involvement in politics.
They are in the business of making money, but they are inextricably linked to political and corporate interests.
If any family gets involved with the Yu family in their business, they'll be able to do whatever they want in Lincheng.
"I don't know why this is," Shang Yun Shen said, his tone filled with uncertainty.
"In short, all I know is that my mother has some complaints about the Yu family, but she has never revealed the reason. You'd better be careful."
After saying that, Shang Yun Shen got up and cleared away the bowls and chopsticks.
Shang Wu stared at his retreating figure, lost in thought, before being summoned by a phone call from Chengzhou Group.
Now that Zhou Yanci's misdeeds have been completely exposed, the shareholders are eager to cut ties, leaving Shang Wu as the new successor, and are calling to urge her to discuss the matter of becoming the official successor.
Upon arriving at their destination, Shang Wu preemptively presented the shareholders with the corporate strategic plan that he had prepared long ago.
The expressions on their faces all changed after reading it.
"You want us to accept the transformation of Chengzhou Group into a merchant group, and also to reorganize it internally and externally, and recalculate the shares?"
Shang Wu looked at them.
“I know you are shareholders of the Zhou family, and the shares have been passed down from generation to generation. You have already accepted that this is the Zhou family’s company. But now, you have seen it for yourself.”
"The Zhou family is useless. If they want to make money, they can only rely on me. Whether they want to change their ways and become shareholders of my business is up to them."
Shang Wu sat down unhurriedly and took out a few blank checks.
“If you are unwilling, write down the value of your shares right now.”
“I will pay you money, and you can take the money and completely sever ties with the company.”
Several shareholders stared at her, dumbfounded: "You're simply repaying kindness with enmity! We were just about to support you as the company's true president, and this is how you treat us?"
"What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity? What kindness have you shown me? You made me the company president just because you see my earning power and want to continue to secure your profits. Don't try to make it sound so high-sounding; I don't buy it."
Shang Wu scoffed, her shimmering eyes filled with disdain.
"In short, you either agree or you have to get out of this company."
“From the moment Zhou Yanci plotted against my business, I was already planning my revenge, to take over his company and use it as a stepping stone for my business. If you don’t want to stay, then you should leave now. Anyway, I don’t need to be so focused on the traitors of the Zhou family.”
The people listened with varying expressions.
They were not loyal to the Zhou family; they or their fathers had only invested because of the Zhou family patriarch.
Now they suddenly want to change the group into a business. What's the difference between this and forcing them to change their surname without their consent?
But everyone is driven by profit; if there's money to be made, they'll grit their teeth and not care about anything else.
After a few minutes of discussion, everyone agreed to listen to Shang Wu and follow her in rebuilding the Shang family business.
After Shang Wu had all the documents signed by them, he got up and left with the documents.
As she was leaving, she paused again and looked back at the group.
"Perhaps during the time Zhou Yanci is away, he will ask you for help."
"If he has any news, he must inform me immediately. Assisting in the capture of fugitive criminals is a meritorious service."
"But if anyone knows something and fails to report it, you will also be imprisoned for harboring a criminal, understand?"
Intimidated by her gaze, everyone quickly lowered their heads and agreed politely.
Seeing this, Shang Wu didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
She arrived downstairs at the company, thought for a moment, and then called Lu Rang.
However, the phone showed that it was switched off.
Shang Wu frowned.
This has never happened before. Why did it turn off?
In these turbulent times, Shang Wu remained vigilant and called Qian Jue to inquire about the situation.
As soon as the call connected, before she could even say "hello," Qianjue spoke first.
“Our young master has already promised to return to Wanhu. This is the end of it for you. Do not contact us again.”
