Chapter 261 Power Suppression
Conference room at the Fu Group headquarters.
Fu Shenyuan sat in the main seat without saying a word, listening to Tan Shen give the meeting report on the bidding project.
"The above is our group's main focus, with the project department at the forefront and the public relations and marketing departments playing a leading role. The goal is to capture the dominant market share of commercial projects in City A and even nationwide."
After finishing his speech, Tan Shen closed the report PowerPoint presentation in front of the attendees.
"That's not right, Mr. Fu. You didn't say that at the beginning. Didn't you say that we would all be involved in this project? How come it's become a project led by you alone, Mr. Fu!"
"Yes! This is not what the company promised us. President Fu's approach is not exactly aboveboard!"
As the shareholders chatted amongst themselves, Fu Shenyuan pressed his hand to his forehead. When he suddenly opened his eyes, the light in them sent chills down one's spine.
"Shareholders, it seems I'm not the one who made the promise to you," Fu Shenyuan said, glancing at Fu Hongkai sitting beside him. "Does the Vice President have anything to say?"
Fu Hongkai coughed and said, "Shen Yuan, what you say or what I say represents our Fu family. You should prioritize the Fu family and not do things that will discourage everyone."
"Disheartening? The vice president using such words truly disheartens me."
Fu Hongkai's eyes darted around a few times, and he began to have some doubts. He noticed that Fu Shenyuan was acting very differently today.
The aura surrounding Fu Shenyuan was like that of a wild beast released from its restraints, filled with oppressive force.
Fu Shenyuan said casually, "First of all, I will not deny the contributions of all the shareholders to this project, and you will not be shortchanged in your corresponding compensation. However, the decision-making power for this project is in my hands, and can only be in my hands."
"If I remember correctly, all control over S-level projects in the group is in the hands of the group president or chairman. My grandfather hardly gets involved in group affairs now, so naturally it is up to me, the president, to take over. As for the promise you mentioned, that should have been made when you worked together to stop it and the vice president was acting as president."
Fu Shenyuan slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze extremely intimidating. The shareholders, who had been arrogant and defiant just moments before, instantly fell silent, not daring to utter a word.
Anyone with eyes to see can see that Fu Shenyuan is about to bring up old grievances.
At first, they all thought that since Fu Shenyuan had been reinstated for so long without mentioning the past incident of everyone forcing him to suspend his duties, he probably wouldn't bring it up again in the future.
Who would have thought that the person sitting above them was only temporarily not mentioned, but that didn't mean they had forgotten?
When they dare to provoke Fu Shenyuan, he can use his high position to strike them down at any time, and they will have no chance to fight back.
Fu Shenyuan looked at Fu Hongkai and tilted his head: "Am I right, Vice President?"
This was tantamount to a question of coercion, and even if Fu Hongkai didn't want to answer, he had no choice but to bow his head.
"Since the CEO has said so, does anyone have any objections?"
Fu Hongkai was essentially telling the shareholders on his side that they had no choice but to submit.
Even if you're unwilling, you have to bow your head.
Fu Shenyuan slowly scanned the faces of each shareholder without saying a word until he finally looked away and spoke.
"Now, I'll ask you one more time: do any of you shareholders have any objections to this decision?"
Fu Shenyuan asked slowly and deliberately, and naturally received affirmations from everyone.
The meeting lasted a long time, and when they left the office afterward, almost no one except Fu Shenyuan and Tan Shen had a smile on their face.
Fu Hongkai was so angry that he threw the laptop on the ground.
The secretary picked it up and advised, "Vice President, don't get too upset."
"Not angry?! You saw the show of force Fu Shenyuan gave me; he's trying to completely trample on me."
Fu Hongkai's breathing became unsteady, and his face turned red.
The secretary kept trying to calm him down, saying, "It's not over yet, you can't lose your composure."
After some persuasion, Fu Hongkai barely managed to suppress his anger. Seeing this, his secretary quickly intervened and took Fu Hongkai away from the company.
In the car, Fu Hongkai's anger subsided, and he asked, "Have you heard anything from the old man's lawyer, Mr. Zhang? Is it about the will?"
The secretary turned around and said, "We can now confirm that it is about the will, but our people have not yet found out the contents of the will."
"A bunch of useless idiots! So much time has passed without any news. Do I really have to wait until the old man dies before I find out?!"
"No, Vice President, don't worry. We just planted an informant, and it seems to be working well for that Attorney Zhang. The will issue will be resolved soon."
Fu Hongkai then asked, "What about the doctor at the old house? What did he say?"
The secretary replied, "Chairman Fu's health has not improved for a long time, and his heart problem has become very serious recently. Our people say that if Chairman Fu were to suffer any shock at this time, it might affect his life. Therefore, we are trying our best to keep his emotions stable and to see how his physical condition is after he takes medication and recuperates."
"We can't be stimulated, great, isn't this God helping us?"
Fu Hongkai gave a cruel smile, then immediately turned cold.
"By the way, I heard that the old man is thinking of starting a foundation recently, is that true?"
The secretary immediately took out a document from her briefcase: "This is a detailed list of the Fu Group's previous charitable foundation. We heard about this matter, so we retrieved the document in advance. Please take a look."
Fu Hongkai opened the document that symbolized the passage of time; the events described therein occurred many years ago.
"The charity foundation was managed by Fu Shenyuan's mother when she was alive. After she and Fu Hongjin died, the foundation was closed due to lack of management. Although the existence of this thing cannot bring direct benefits, its added value is much greater than that of commercial projects. The old man now understands the idea of restarting it. It seems that he knows he doesn't have much time left and is eager to pave the way for his grandson so that he can leave in peace."
The secretary replied, "I think you're right. Recently, there have been many visits from chambers of commerce and foundations to the old house. Logically, the chairman should be resting and not seeing anyone, but these people came by invitation, so that's probably what happened."
Fu Hongkai scoffed, "Does the old man really think that doing this useless stuff will help Fu Shenyuan? Does he still think this is more than ten years ago?"
“Those people in the Chamber of Commerce are all your people now, Vice President. As long as Fu Shenyuan takes over this foundation, his life or death will naturally be up to you.”
"Hmph!" Fu Hongkai laughed, finally regaining some balance.
"By the way, is Yuqi back yet? I've arranged a few marriage proposals for her. Tell her to go and take a look, and get the marriage settled as soon as possible," Fu Hongkai said.
The secretary was somewhat troubled at this moment: "Miss, she heard that it was an arranged marriage, so she is on vacation abroad and does not want to come back. She is also very emotional."
Fu Hongkai glared at her and said, "Didn't you tell her about the family's current situation? Is this the time for her to be willful?!"
"Miss may not understand your good intentions yet, but I believe that with some time, she will think things through," the secretary quickly interjected.
Fu Hongkai was still agitated: "Tell her to come back within a week for a blind date. This marriage has to happen; she can't run away."
"Yes, I will talk to Miss, don't worry."
After finishing his business, Fu Shenyuan finally had some free time. He called home and heard from the housekeeper that Jiang Ranxing had taken Fu Xingyi out.
"Where did you go?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
The butler replied, "Madam took the young master to Mr. Wan's house. The young master wants to meet with young master Mai Mai."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Shenyuan found Wan Luyuan's number and called him.
At that moment, Wan Luyuan was playing with his two children in the car, and there was a lot of merriment coming from inside.
"Shen Yuan, you must be busy today. The kids want to go to the amusement park. I'll take them there. You happen to have time too, so why not? The kids will be happy if you come. Come on, come on," Wan Luyuan said.
Fu Shenyuan responded on the other end of the phone.
After Wan Luyuan hung up the phone, Jiang Ranxing's expression changed slightly upon hearing Fu Shenyuan's name in the back seat of the van.
Wan Luyuan turned to look at her, chuckling as he said, "Shen Yuan has finished his work and said he wants to come over. That's good. At my age, there are many things I can't do anymore. It's perfect for Shen Yuan to take the kids to play. Ranxing, you don't have any objections, do you?"
Xiao Hui looked at Jiang Ranxing's expression and was a little worried, but she didn't say anything.
Both children turned to look at her, their faces full of anticipation.
"Is Daddy coming? Great! I can play with Mommy and Daddy!" Fu Xingyi said with a smile.
Seeing Fu Xingyi smile, Mai Mai smiled too: "I like Uncle Shen Yuan too, let's go to the amusement park together!"
Seeing how happy the two children were, Jiang Ranxing didn't want to spoil their fun, so she shook her head.
The car was instantly filled with laughter again, the innocent laughter of children lingering in the ears of the adults.
"Ranxing, after Shen Yuan arrives, our two families can take this opportunity to let the kids have some fun. You can relax too and not be so tense."
Xiao Hui held Jiang Ranxing's hand and said.
Jiang Ranxing's eyes still seemed somewhat empty as he said, "I hope so."
She didn't feel anything about playing with the children with Fu Shenyuan.
Upon arriving at the amusement park entrance, everyone in the van was astonished by the sight before them.
"What, what's going on?"
