Chapter 461 Has he gone mad?!
Nangong Wang didn't expect that what surprised him even more was yet to come.
No! It wasn't just surprise, it was shock!
The board meeting, held once every March, is attended by all shareholders and senior executives of the Nangong Group.
It was on this occasion that the old man announced the appointment of A Chu as the president of the Nangong Group!
Nangong Tang, who had always thought the CEO position was his, immediately changed his expression.
Even more excited than him was Nangong Wang.
"Dad, what did you say?!"
Nangong Wang practically slammed his fist on the table, his voice so loud that everyone else, who was initially quite surprised, looking at the old man and then at Ah Chu beside him, couldn't help but look at him.
Looking at Nangong Wang's grim expression, Nangong Tang was puzzled.
What? The third brother didn't know beforehand?
Why did the old man suddenly decide to appoint Nangong Chu as the group's president?
It's important to understand that being the group's president implies being a candidate for succession, as was the case with Nangong Tianyu previously.
Nangong Tang considered many candidates, but he never thought of A Chu!
He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't heard the old man say it with his own ears.
An old man who favored sons so much that he didn't even acknowledge his illegitimate daughter would actually bypass his sons and grandsons and choose a granddaughter as his heir?!
Has he gone mad?!
Nangong Wang also thought the old man had gone mad.
When he learned that his son was the heir, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was his own son, and his son was his father.
Nangong Tianyu was suspended from his post, but Nangong Wang was not in a hurry.
In the entire Nangong family, there is no one more outstanding than his son. Sooner or later, the old man will reinstate him.
But now, what does it mean that the old man suddenly announced the appointment of Ah Chu as the group's president?
What great responsibility can a girl who didn't even go to college shoulder?!
Faced with the emotionally charged Nangong Wang, the old man merely glanced at him with a disdainful look.
To lose your composure like that in front of so many people!
The old man's stern gaze was so intense that Nangong Wang barely regained his senses.
He sat down, but still asked, puzzled and unconvinced, "Chairman, did you just say something wrong?"
The old man snorted softly, "I'm not senile yet, and I don't make mistakes in what I say."
Nangong Tang gave a wink to a shareholder he was on good terms with, who understood, coughed, and spoke:
"Chairman, you've suddenly appointed a young girl as the group's president; she's not up to the task!"
Another shareholder chimed in, "Yes, yes! This young lady looks like she's still in college, right?"
Someone said, "What do you mean by going to college? She was sent to a mental hospital not long after graduating from high school because she almost killed someone, and she's only been out for a few months!"
The other shareholders were shocked when they heard this.
"What?!"
"How can someone like this be qualified to be the group's president?"
"Chairman, please rescind your decision!"
"I can't accept someone like that as the group's president!"
"Yeah yeah!"
For a moment, the conference room became as noisy as a vegetable market, and a group of middle-aged men looked at A Chu with disdain and contempt.
The old man looked at these people, then looked at A-Chu.
She just sat there, listening to those people talking back and forth, some of their words were quite unpleasant.
But the corners of her lips always held a slight curve, and her eyes were calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or helplessness.
He didn't show his emotions, and even if he was just pretending to be calm, the old man was still quite satisfied.
Seeing that it was about time, the old man picked up the cup on the table and slammed it down hard.
The sound of the bottom of the cup hitting the table silenced the chattering crowd.
Everyone looked at the expressionless, aged yet still dignified old man.
At this moment, Nangong Tang spoke up, earnestly advising, "Dad...Chairman, Achu is indeed a bit too young, and she hasn't received any formal training. Even if we agree to let her serve as the group's president, she really isn't up to the task."
The old man glanced at him and said, "Three months. I'm only giving A-Chu three months. If she doesn't achieve anything or is truly incompetent, she will naturally leave."
What if she is capable of doing it?
Does the old man really intend to choose a granddaughter as his successor?
After the meeting, everyone was thinking about this issue.
The old man personally took Achu to the president's office and accompanied her to meet the new secretary and assistant.
In the CEO's office, the old man looked at Ah Chu and said seriously, "I said in the meeting that I'm only giving you three months."
"This is your final test. If you can deliver a high score in these three months, you will be the heir of the Nangong family."
"Grandpa, don't worry."
Achu smiled, her eyes shining with confidence and certainty.
Regarding the news of A Chu's appointment as president of Nangong Group, Nangong Group's official Weibo account also posted an appointment announcement.
These past few days, Achu has already been at the center of heated discussion.
As soon as Nangong Group's official Weibo account posted an announcement, it immediately caught the attention of netizens.
Netizen comments:
【Wait, am I seeing things? Nangong Chu... appointed as group president?】
I watched it three times! I'm finally sure it's real!
[Oh my god! Wasn't Nangong Chu supposed to be the general manager of Xinggui Entertainment? How come he's now the group president?]
[Wait...wasn't the former president of the Nangong Group Nangong Tianyu?]
[Internal sources indicate that Nangong Tianyu has been suspended from his duties due to poor decision-making.]
Is a group president the same as a family heir?
Generally speaking, even if they are not the family heir, they are still candidates for heirship.
[Holy crap! If Nangong Chu becomes the heir of the Nangong family, that would be incredibly interesting!]
[A female-centric, empowering novel! I love it!]
That's true, but Nangong Chu didn't even go to university, so can she really be the CEO of a group?
Is Grandpa Nangong getting old and a bit senile? Picking just anyone as the group president? Are they kidding me?
It seems Nangong Group's stock is going to fall again!
Within minutes, numerous comments appeared on Weibo, some supportive and others pessimistic.
Because there were so many people discussing it, it even made it onto the trending topics list.
This news shocked not only netizens, but also Nangong Tianyu and his group!
When Nangong Tianyu learned of this news, his usually composed face finally revealed a somewhat distorted expression.
That day, both the third and second wives held an emergency family meeting.
The family meeting of the three wives, of course, did not include Ah Chu.
Their discussion, however, revolved around Achu.
The main problem is that they still can't understand why the old man made this decision.
In the end, they concluded that Ah Chu was ambitious and must have taken advantage of the opportunity to stay in the main building to deceive the old man!
The guilt that Nangong Tianyu and his family had just felt was reduced to a shallow layer because Achu had become their rival.
However, after discussing it, they decided to first try to build a good relationship with Achu.
If they can get it done, that would be best; if not... then don't blame them for being ruthless.
