Chapter 198 Cooperation
When Fu Shenyuan arrived at the airport, he saw a familiar figure.
Fu Shenyuan looked at Tan Shen with some displeasure: "Did you tell her that?"
Tan Shen replied, "Mr. Fu, Miss Lin heard about it from the company and roughly knows that you are going back to China."
Fu Shenyuan's eyes darkened considerably. He had just decided to return to China, and Lin Xuesha found out about it so quickly, which meant that none of this was a coincidence. Lin Xuesha had planted spies in the company.
No one likes having their whereabouts constantly monitored, and Fu Shenyuan especially so.
“Tan Shen, you’ve neglected your duties. Send someone to deal with these informants,” Fu Shenyuan said.
Tan Shen nodded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I will have someone investigate, but what about Miss Lin..."
"How long until takeoff?" Fu Shenyuan asked, glancing at his watch.
"There's still an hour left, Mr. Fu. Why don't we go to the VIP lounge and wait there? I'll invite Miss Lin in as well."
Fu Shenyuan nodded and walked towards the lounge.
Tan Shen went over to calm Lin Xuesha, who was still angry: "Ms. Lin, Mr. Fu has some urgent matters to attend to back in China. I'll have someone take you back to your hotel."
Lin Xuesha knew it was about Jiang Ranxing, and she was even more dissatisfied with Tan Shen's attempt to conceal the truth.
"Do you really think I don't know! Shen Yuan went back to find Jiang Ranxing, right? What are you all up to by keeping this from me?!" Lin Xuesha said angrily.
Tan Shen whispered a reminder: "Miss Lin, Mr. Fu doesn't like being monitored. You'd better not say that to him."
Tan Shen said this to prevent Lin Xuesha from upsetting Fu Shenyuan, and also to stop the two of them from getting entangled in this matter. Fu Shenyuan's return to China was a done deal, and it was impossible for him not to go back because of Lin Xuesha's words.
But Lin Xuesha couldn't listen to any of that at the moment. She completely ignored Tan Shen and went straight to the VIP lounge.
Tan Shen looked at the door and could almost imagine what would happen.
Fu Shenyuan was sitting on a single sofa reading messages when Lin Xuesha just pushed the door open and walked in. Fu Shenyuan frowned unhappily.
Since their last meeting at the hotel, which ended in a breakdown of negotiations, the two have not seen each other for quite some time.
Of course, the main reason is that Fu Shenyuan doesn't want to meet with Lin Xuesha to talk about anything, because Lin Xuesha's emotions are too unstable right now.
Especially now, Lin Xuesha seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Fu Shenyuan's decision to return to China.
Fu Shenyuan didn't want to argue with her, so he patiently said, "Xue Sha, I came back to China for something very important, not to leave you here as you said."
Lin Xuesha was even more unhappy: "Important things?! Jiang Ranxing's matter is important, but I'm unimportant? You can go back to China directly because of her phone call, but what about me? Have you even thought about me!"
Fu Shenyuan sighed and said seriously, "Xue Sha, no one wants to be wiretapped, you know that? Besides, I didn't come back to China just for her phone call. The Fu family is facing turmoil right now, and Grandpa's health isn't good either. You should also know about my and Second Uncle's situation. I can't let the Fu family be pushed to an irreversible point by Second Uncle. Now do you understand why I came back to China?"
Lin Xuesha only thought that Fu Shenyuan was doing this for Jiang Ranxing, and was completely unaware of the current situation of the Fu family.
Lin Xuesha asked, "What exactly is going on with the Fu family? What is Second Uncle planning to do?"
Fu Shenyuan did not answer the question: "I will only know after I return to China, so Xue Sha, stop fooling around. I have important business to attend to when I go back."
Lin Xuesha knew that if she continued to make a scene, Fu Shenyuan would definitely get angry, so she couldn't say anything more.
"Then I'll go back with you, Shen Yuan. Can I stay by your side? I miss Yi Yi and Xiao Che too," Lin Xuesha said, softening her tone.
When the topic of children came up, Fu Shenyuan couldn't bear it, so he nodded.
"Let Tan Shen make the arrangements. After you get back, I'll have Tan Shen take you back to see your child."
Lin Xuesha nodded, but what she was thinking about wasn't the child at all. She had to go back and keep an eye on things, and not let Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing develop anything.
Tan Shen acted quickly, arranging first class for Lin Xuesha as well. The plane took off on time and flew back to the airport in City A in China.
After getting off the plane, Tan Shen contacted the villa's driver to pick up Lin Xuesha, while he drove Fu Shenyuan away from the airport.
"Mr. Fu, where are we going now?" Tan Shen asked.
Fu Shenyuan gave Tan Shen a location, a location in a villa area.
"Where is this?" Tan Shen had no idea where he was.
Fu Shenyuan didn't know either: "She asked me to meet her here, let's go over first."
After learning that Jiang Ranxing had given him the location, Tan Shen said nothing more and quickly drove to the location indicated on the map.
Seaside, Ember Studio.
Mia looked through the studio's floor-to-ceiling windows and saw a Bentley parked outside the main entrance; it had been there for a long time.
"Who is this? They've been staying in our studio for quite a while. Are they our clients, Manager Shen?" Mia asked, turning around.
Manager Shen also stood up and walked to the window to look out, saying, "We haven't had any clients scheduled to come over today."
"Who is that? So mysterious, not even getting out?" Mia didn't care anymore and prepared to sit back down to continue looking at the design drawings, not paying much attention to the car at the door.
It wasn't until almost time to leave work, when a white sports car pulled up in front of the studio, that Mia saw people get out of the car.
Fu Shenyuan got out of the car when he saw Jiang Ranxing arrive.
Jiang Ranxing was probably very busy. After driving over, he didn't have time to park his car properly, so he got out and walked over.
Looking at the person he hadn't seen in so long, Fu Shenyuan felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him.
Jiang Ranxing didn't have time to reminisce with him and said directly, "Let's go to my office to talk."
Fu Shenyuan hummed in agreement and followed.
Jiang Ranxing opened the studio door, and everyone in the studio turned their attention to him. Jiang Ranxing waved and greeted everyone.
Mia walked over and chatted with Jiang Ranxing for a few words before looking at Fu Shenyuan behind her.
"Sis, why did you bring him here?"
Mia actually dislikes Fu Shenyuan. Based on what Fu Shenyuan has done in the past, Mia cannot forgive him.
Jiang Ranxing patted Mia's hand and said, "I'll tell you later. I have something important to talk to him about. It's not convenient to go anywhere else, so I came here."
Mia nodded repeatedly: "Okay, sis, I've already had the cleaning lady clean your office. It'll be just like before. Go in."
"Thank you, Mia."
Jiang Ranxing turned around and glanced at the tall man behind her, then said calmly, "Let's go."
The two figures disappeared from everyone's sight.
Fu Shenyuan followed Jiang Ranxing into the innermost, largest office.
After entering the office, Jiang Ranxing didn't entertain him. She sat down in the chair behind the desk before looking up at him.
Fu Shenyuan had just been observing this studio. Owning such a large detached villa in such a location was something he had never imagined Jiang Ranxing would do before.
The atmosphere in the studio is just as good as any large design firm, let alone Ember's private studio, so you can imagine how professional it is.
Only after entering Jiang Ranxing's office did Fu Shenyuan feel a sense of reality.
The office was quite large, even larger than his usual office. Because it was on the first floor of the villa, the floor-to-ceiling windows directly connected to the lawn and garden outside, making it feel very fresh and green. The greenery had already washed away the cold, modern atmosphere of the interior design, just like Jiang Ranxing himself, which was full of contrast to his usual self.
Fu Shenyuan walked over and sat down opposite Jiang Ranxing's desk.
At that moment, both of them had a very strange feeling.
In the past, Jiang Ranxing would come to his office and sit in the guest seat, but now it's the other way around.
Fu Shenyuan lowered his head and smiled. Their relationship was no different. Before, Jiang Ranxing was chasing after him, but now it had become him chasing Jiang Ranxing but not getting the job.
Jiang Ranxing wasn't in the mood to immerse herself in some kind of reminiscence with him.
Jiang Ranxing interrupted his thoughts directly: "Let's not beat around the bush. I'll just say it directly: Do you know what your second uncle is doing right now?"
The tenderness in Fu Shenyuan's eyes gradually faded, and he said seriously, "I've learned a bit. I haven't returned to the Fu family yet. I'll talk to him after I see him."
“Alright, since you know about this, I’ll just say it directly,” Jiang Ranxing looked up at him, and Fu Shenyuan felt a chill run down his spine as his eyes shone. “I don’t care about the internal affairs of your Fu family, but he has gone too far now, extending his reach into the Wen family, which is something I cannot tolerate.”
Fu Shenyuan, not knowing much about these matters, asked, "You mean..."
Jiang Ranxing said, "Fu Hongkai is now suppressing the Wen family's business. I can't let Qingrang and everything the Wen family has been destroyed by him. I came to you to save the Wen family."
"Such a major business move by the company must be decided by the board of directors. As far as I know, Chairman Fu holds 40% of the shares, Fu Hongkai holds 25%, and the remaining shareholders in his camp hold a total of 5%. You, on the other hand, hold the same 30% as Fu Hongkai, making you the largest shareholder of the Fu Group."
Jiang Ranxing nodded and continued, "Of course, this is the publicly disclosed shareholding distribution. If that's the case, how do you think your grandfather will distribute his shares? Will he support you or Fu Hongkai?"
Fu Shenyuan had nothing to hide from Jiang Ranxing.
He said, "Grandpa will split his shares equally, and my second uncle and I will each take 20 percent, so it will end up being a tie."
Jiang Ranxing looked at him scrutinizingly: "How can you be so sure that your grandfather will definitely split it equally? Maybe other things will happen, maybe Fu Hongkai will get more?"
“No,” Fu Shenyuan said with certainty. “Grandpa will definitely do that because he and my father made an agreement that Grandpa would distribute his shares equally among his descendants no matter what.”
Fu Shenyuan knew that his father did all this for his young son's sake.
Perhaps many years ago, my father had already foreseen this unexpected event and signed an agreement with Mr. Fu regarding equity.
Hearing Fu Shenyuan's certain statement, Jiang Ranxing considered it for a moment before deciding to reveal her trump card.
She took a brown paper bag out of her bag and pushed it in front of Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing said directly, "This is an equity transfer agreement. Of course, this is not the original, but just a copy."
As Fu Shenyuan opened the app and listened to Jiang Ranxing speak, his expression changed slightly.
He never knew that this equity transfer agreement existed. In fact, apart from Jiang Ranxing and Old Master Fu, no other members of the Fu family should know about it.
Jiang Ranxing said solemnly, "Originally, I didn't plan to touch these shares, but given the current situation, I can't just stand by and watch Qingrang be ruined by you again."
Jiang Ranxing stretched out a hand and extended it in front of Fu Shenyuan.
“Fu Shenyuan, let’s cooperate. At the shareholders’ meeting, I will stand on your side and support you. You can use a higher shareholding ratio to suppress Fu Hongkai and take back everything you lost from the Fu family. In exchange, I want you to stop taking action against the Wen family after you regain your position and take back all the means that threaten the Wen family.”
Looking at the slender hand in front of him, and hearing that every word she uttered was to protect Wen Qingrang, Fu Shenyuan felt an uncontrollable pain in his heart.
Fu Shenyuan was lost in thought at this moment, and said in a low voice, "Are you really capable of going to this extent for Wen Qingrang?"
Fu Shenyuan gave a bitter laugh, his eyes instantly turning red.
He was in so much pain that his eyes stung and his heart ached.
Jiang Ranxing withdrew her hand, wondering what Fu Shenyuan wanted to do by asking this: "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with what I said? Don't you want to come back and take back everything that is rightfully yours?"
Jiang Ranxing couldn't believe that someone like Fu Shenyuan would willingly be a leader in an overseas company. Everything the Fu family in City A should have belonged to him, but for some reason, Fu Shenyuan lost it all, and Fu Hongkai took it away.
But Jiang Ranxing had no time to ask why; her only thought was to get Wen Qingrang out of his predicament.
Fu Shenyuan said hoarsely, "No matter how important those things are, they are not as important as your position. Don't you understand?"
After Fu Shenyuan finished speaking, Jiang Ranxing just stared at him blankly for a few seconds, and then stopped looking at him.
At this moment, Fu Shenyuan felt so wronged and resentful that he could hardly express it to anyone.
Because he also knew that he was the one who caused all of this.
In the past, Jiang Ranxing would always stand by his side unconditionally, and even when he didn't realize it, she was always the one he relied on. No matter when he looked back, Jiang Ranxing would always be there to support him with a smile.
Now, Jiang Ranxing's promise to help him return comes with conditions, and in the end, the person she supports is no longer him, but another man.
