"A Chen, please listen to my explanation, I really don't know..." Xu Zhiru's voice was filled with tears and she was almost on the verge of collapse.
Fu Chen suddenly shook her hand away, his eyes filled with disgust, "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
Xu Zhiru staggered a few steps, fell to the ground, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
The ring was clearly in Fu Chen's office, and it was the perfect size for her, so why did Fu Chen say it was for Ning Nanxue?
"It's Ning Nanxue, it must be Ning Nanxue who framed me!" Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment.
She struggled to her feet and stumbled out of the office.
Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's embarrassed back, without a trace of pity in his heart, only endless disgust.
He tugged at his tie irritably and called Secretary Chen.
"Secretary Chen, get over here!" Fu Chen's voice was low, suppressing his anger.
Secretary Chen quickly rushed to the office and saw the mess on the floor. He understood what was happening, but remained respectful. "Mr. Fu, are you looking for me?"
Fu Chen pointed at the empty drawer and asked angrily, "Where's the ring? Why did it end up in Xu Zhiru's hands? You'd better explain it to me!"
Secretary Chen looked innocent. "Mr. Fu, I really don't know. I put the ring in the drawer and never touched it again. Maybe... Vice President Xu saw it and took it away."
"She took it herself?" Fu Chen sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool? Don't you know who Xu Zhiru is? Would she go through my drawers herself?"
Secretary Chen lowered his head, not daring to refute, and just whispered in defense: "Mr. Fu, I'm telling the truth, I really don't know..."
The more Fu Chen looked at Secretary Chen, the more suspicious he felt. However, he had no evidence at the moment, so he could only suppress his anger temporarily, "Get out! From now on, you are not allowed to enter my office without my permission!"
Secretary Chen felt relieved and quickly retreated.
On the other side, in Ning Nanxue's office, the atmosphere was relaxed.
"Boss Ning, Xu Zhiru has been utterly disgraced this time," Secretary Chen reported with a smile. "Boss Fu is completely disappointed in her."
Ning Nanxue chuckled, "Xu Zhiru's stupidity is her biggest weakness. The more jealous she is and the more inferior she feels, the more likely she is to make mistakes."
"Tingchen, you are right. Xu Zhiru's jealousy and inferiority complex are my best weapons." Ning Nanxue turned to look at Jiang Tingchen with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Jiang Tingchen looked at her gently, "Xue'er, you did a great job. From now on, we just need to wait and see. The Fu Group will soon be in chaos."
Fu Group's stock price continued to fall, and the board of directors was in a panic.
Fu Chen was extremely anxious and he called an emergency meeting to try to stabilize the situation.
"Dear directors, please believe me, the foundation of the Fu Group is still there, and we will definitely overcome the difficulties!" Fu Chen's voice was a little tired, but he still tried to stay calm.
"Mr. Fu, now is not the time to talk about this. The key is, what should we do to stop the falling trend of the stock price?" a director asked anxiously.
"Yes, Mr. Fu, Mr. Wen's defection is a huge blow to us. Now the market has lost confidence in us." Another director echoed.
Fu Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "I have formulated a series of countermeasures, including seeking new financing."
"Seeking new financing? Mr. Fu, who would be willing to invest in us under the current circumstances?" another director said pessimistically.
Fu Chen did not answer, but his expression became even gloomier.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing.
When Xu Zhiru learned that Fu Chen was going to hold an emergency meeting, she dressed up carefully, prepared dinner, and sent it to Fu Chen's office.
However, when she reached the office door, she was stopped by Fu Chen's secretary.
"Vice President Xu, President Fu is in a meeting and cannot meet with guests." The secretary said in a cold tone.
Xu Zhiru's face froze. "I'm here to bring dinner to Ah Chen. Please move aside. I'll go in and wait for him."
"Vice President Xu, President Fu said he won't see anyone." The secretary refused to give in.
Xu Zhiru was so angry that she was shaking all over. She suppressed her anger and said, "I am Fu Chen's girlfriend. How dare you stop me?"
The secretary's face was expressionless. "I'm sorry, Vice President Xu, this is President Fu's order."
Xu Zhiru was choked by the secretary's words, her face turning pale and blue. She stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out, feeling extremely embarrassed.
In the end, Xu Zhiru still didn't get to see Fu Chen. She returned to her office with her dinner in a daze.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Ning Nanxue, it's all your fault! You're the one who hurt me!" Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Ning Nanxue into pieces.
After the meeting, Fu Chen returned to the office and saw the dinner on the table. His face became even gloomier.
He threw his dinner straight into the trash without even looking at it.
The next day, Xu Zhiru came to the company with red and swollen eyes. As soon as she walked into the office, she heard her colleagues talking.
"Have you heard? Vice President Xu was scolded by President Fu again."
"Yeah, I heard he was scolded so badly that he even lost his position as vice president."
"She really deserves it. It's her fault for offending Advisor Ning."
"That's right. Consultant Ning is now the director of the Fu Group. She dares to fight with Consultant Ning. She really overestimates her own abilities."
Xu Zhiru's face turned even uglier when she heard these comments. She walked to her desk and found it piled high with documents related to the projects she had previously been in charge of.
"Vice President Xu, these documents are what President Fu asked you to handle." The secretary said in a cold tone.
Xu Zhiru looked at the documents and felt a wave of despair in her heart. She knew that Fu Chen was deliberately making things difficult for her and forcing her to leave the company.
"Ning Nanxue, I won't let you go!" Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment. She picked up the documents on the table, tore them up, and threw them into the trash can.
Ning Nanxue returned to the office and said to Secretary Chen, "Give me a detailed copy of the Fu Group's financial statements as soon as possible."
Secretary Chen immediately responded, "Don't worry, President Ning. I'm ready." He pulled a document from his briefcase and handed it to Ning Nanxue. "This is the financial statement for the Fu Group for the past three quarters. I've marked any problematic areas."
Ning Nanxue took the document, flipped through it quickly, and frowned slightly.
Jiang Tingchen walked over, looked at Ning Nanxue's focused expression, and asked, "Did you see anything wrong?"
Ning Nanxue pointed to several figures on the report and said, "There's something wrong with the Fu Group's capital flow. Several large sums of money are unaccounted for, and the profitability of some projects is far below expectations."
Jiang Tingchen took the report, looked at it carefully, and said, "It seems that Fu Chen has really run out of tricks. In order to maintain the appearance of the Fu Group, he is willing to rob Peter to pay Paul."
Ning Nanxue sneered, "The more he acts like this, the easier it will be for him to reveal his flaws. Secretary Chen, contact the other directors. I need to convene an informal board meeting."
