Chapter 299 Defeated by a Relationship
The conference room at the Fu Group Center.
Jiang Ranxing's arrival prompted many executives to comment.
"I've never heard of an acting president before. With the chairman and president absent, we should listen to the vice president!"
"That's right. Director Jiang is just the director of the public relations department. She should be in charge of the public relations department. Why is she overstepping her authority? Does she really think of such a big company as a joke?"
"I remember that Director Jiang doesn't come to the company very often, and she doesn't even seem to know much about her own department. I'm afraid you're not capable of being the acting president."
"You're so pretty, being a pretty face is enough. Don't even think about being a leader, right?"
Faced with the crowd's questions, Jiang Ranxing said nothing, but instead turned his head and gestured to Tan Shen.
Tan Shen stepped forward, showed the document signed by Fu Shenyuan to all the senior executives, and finally turned to Fu Hongkai.
"The president is currently unable to attend in person due to health reasons, but for the sake of the group's normal operation, he specifically signed these documents, which clearly state that Director Jiang has this authority. At the same time, Director Jiang is also a major shareholder of our group and naturally has a say in company decision-making. Therefore, I think everyone's doubts are somewhat excessive."
The executives who were just speaking so righteously were now speechless. They were all Fu Hongkai's men, and their words were simply to support him.
Now all the blame is being directed at Fu Hongkai.
Fu Hongkai raised an eyebrow knowingly: "Ranxing, since Shen Yuan entrusted these things to you, he naturally trusts you. You are also a shareholder, so we should have no doubts. However, there is a saying that is true: you do not understand the operation of the group. You are still too young to handle some things. It is more prudent to let these experienced uncles handle them."
Jiang Ranxing smiled faintly; she had long understood what Fu Hongkai meant.
“The vice president has a point. I do not have much experience, as everyone knows. I am just a designer specializing in my own field. Compared to the business experience of everyone here, I am far behind.”
Hearing her say that, everyone relaxed their guard and let their guard down, including Fu Hongkai.
A woman, in the end, is still useless; she can't accomplish anything.
Compared to Fu Shenyuan's formidable strength and ruthless methods, she was utterly insignificant, no different from a fragile ant.
But her next sentence successfully shattered the smugness on their faces.
Jiang Ranxing opened her beautiful big eyes and said innocently, "If that's the case, then I can only be a pretty face. It seems I can't sign any documents. Everything will have to wait until your President Fu comes back, is that what you mean?"
These seasoned veterans certainly weren't waiting for Fu Shenyuan to return.
They could make some moves while Fu Shenyuan was away, especially signing some documents. Documents that were sent out through Fu Hongkai would naturally be beneficial to them.
But now that Jiang Ranxing is blocking the way, everything is different.
As long as she keeps delaying signing, there's no way to bypass her and reach Fu Hongkai.
What a convenient delaying tactic!
Fu Hongkai had never expected this turn of events, and he was at a loss for words.
“It’s not that we can’t sign anything at all. Our group’s project is about to start, and we can’t wait that long,” a senior executive said from the side.
Jiang Ranxing shrugged: "Then don't question me. You can either wait for them to come back or wait for them to return. It's up to you to choose."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the time on his watch and let Tan Shen take over the conversation.
Next was the group's regular meeting time, which Tan Shen could chair by himself.
The meeting lasted longer than usual because without Fu Shenyuan, no one could provide a final decision.
After the meeting, Tan Shen repeatedly expressed his appreciation for Jiang Ranxing.
"Madam, your move was really brilliant. I was thinking we should confront them head-on, but you used their strength against them, leaving them speechless for a while."
Jiang Ranxing smiled slightly: "It's just a temporary measure. It's fine if it lasts a short time, but if it goes on for too long, problems are bound to arise."
Tan Shen also agrees with this point.
"But you don't need to worry. Mr. Fu has recovered and will take over immediately. Madam, there are some things I don't know whether I should say."
"Go ahead and say it, just don't insult me."
After being teased by Jiang Ranxing, the atmosphere suddenly softened, and the tension between the two sides eased.
Tan Shen said, "I have been working with President Fu for many years. To be honest, I have probably spent more time working with President Fu than you have, so I know President Fu quite well."
"He is a business elite in the traditional sense. There is never a project he can't handle. Of course, these abilities don't come out of thin air. They are the result of the chairman's high demands and training of President Fu over the years. When no one is around, President Fu may be just like you when you are doing design work, turning on the lamp to start reading project proposals or plans. He also has to constantly learn a lot of professional knowledge, and he will be reading until the middle of the night. The light in the president's office of Fu's Group is always on. In my opinion as the president's special assistant, being a qualified person in charge actually requires more effort than ordinary people."
"President Fu is almost obsessed with his career. Whether the entire Fu family can remain stable has been entirely up to President Fu for many years. The burden on his shoulders has never been light. This doesn't seem to be a bad thing, but the problem that comes with it is that a person's energy is limited. If he devotes so much attention to his career, he is bound to neglect his personal life."
"It just so happens that President Fu is a very sentimental person. Under such high pressure, his attention was only enough to focus on Miss Lin. President Fu's feelings for Miss Lin are actually different from yours. It was a kind of gratitude and guilt that President Fu felt out of respect for life and sacrifice. But for you, he was truly in love. Unfortunately, he realized it too late. It wasn't until you were about to leave that President Fu gradually learned what love was, like a beginner."
“I understand that Mr. Fu did some bad things to you when he didn’t know better, but he really didn’t have time to think about his own heart. Over the years, Mr. Fu has sacrificed too much of his own life, including the happiness he should have had, for the Fu family and the Fu Group, for millions of employees and families, or rather, for the development of A City society.”
“I saw all of Mr. Fu’s regret. I understand what he’s thinking. He really wishes he could suffer those pains in your place. He also really wants to give you a chance to make amends. Every time you are with Mr. Fu, he is actually unconsciously happy. Only you can do that.”
After listening to Tan Shen say so much, Jiang Ranxing felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, pondering these things in her mind.
Fu Shenyuan—it seems she really hasn't considered these things from his perspective.
For someone as high and mighty as him to go to such lengths seems to indicate genuine remorse and a desire to make amends.
But can she really choose to understand him?
It turns out that even those who reach a certain level of success face many challenges and are not perfect.
Perhaps they carry even heavier burdens on their shoulders.
It's a pity that someone like that has been defeated by a relationship.
