He gently tightened his arms. "Then, with Sui Sui's share, live well. Build a better future. Not for anyone else, but just for ourselves."
Ning Nanxue nodded in his arms and closed her eyes.
The softness and pain in my heart were properly placed, neither ignored nor magnified to the point of being unbearable.
She took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Tingchen again.
His eyes have regained clarity and determination.
"You're right," she said. "When can Huayun start the formal capital injection process for Ning's?"
"Anytime." Jiang Tingchen's answer was crisp and clear, just like him: reliable and straightforward. "All the documents are ready. We're just waiting for your word."
"Then..." Ning Nanxue thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow." She said firmly, "Let the market see that the real Ning Group has returned." Her eyes were slightly stern, with a hint of revengeful pleasure, "Let some people see what he gave up with his own hands."
Jiang Tingchen looked at her and knew who the "certain people" she was referring to.
He smiled lightly: "Okay, tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, the news of the capital injection will be released. By then, Fu Chen and Su Yao's expressions should be very exciting."
"Exciting? They're not qualified to cause such a big emotional upheaval in me." Ning Nanxue said calmly, "The exciting part is yet to come."
"That's right." Jiang Tingchen agreed. "Capital injection is just the first step."
"Yes, this is just the first step." Ning Nanxue stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up a document. "Green Light Technology has stabilized, which shows that our influence on the technical level is still there. With Huayun's funds in place, the Ning family's strength will be strengthened."
"The Fu family is now like an empty shell. It may look okay on the outside, but it's rotten on the inside," Jiang Tingchen said. "The foundation you laid in the past has now become our weapon."
"He always said the company could thrive without anyone. Now it seems he was wrong." Ning Nanxue's lips curled slightly, not in a smile, but more like a mockery. "Without him, the company might not thrive. But without me... Fu's is just a name."
"So that's why he's so anxious to dig up those old things now, wanting to know what you did?" Jiang Tingchen seemed to be able to imagine Fu Chen's anxious expression. "What did he do earlier?"
"Who knows." Ning Nanxue shrugged. "Maybe I'm used to being served. I take everything for granted."
"So what are you going to do now?" Jiang Tingchen asked with interest.
Ning Nanxue didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "What do you think the Fu family is most afraid of right now?"
Jiang Tingchen thought for a moment: "The funding chain is broken? The partner ran away? The core team was poached?"
"I'm afraid of all of them. But the biggest fear is discovering that what he holds in his hands isn't his at all." Ning Nanxue's eyes were deep. "He thought he controlled the Fu Group, controlled those projects, those technologies, those connections. But he didn't know that the core of these things had long been engraved with my mark."
"So, after the capital injection, what's the next step?" Jiang Tingchen asked.
"The next step, of course, is to close the net." Ning Nanxue's tone was calm, but with unquestionable determination. "Let those partners, suppliers, and even internal personnel who rely on Fu Group see clearly who the real leader is. Make them stand on their own side again."
The next day, Jiang Tingchen took Ning Nanxue back to the Jiang family to visit the old man.
When I entered the tea room, I could smell the fragrance of old things.
Jiang Tingchen led Ning Nanxue in. The old man was sitting by the window, holding two walnuts in his hands. They were quite shiny and looked very majestic.
"Grandpa." Jiang Tingchen called out politely.
Ning Nanxue bowed and said, "Grandpa Jiang."
The old man hummed, put down the walnut, and pointed to the cushion opposite him: "Sit down." He looked at Ning Nanxue: "Girl, I heard that you are good at making tea? Today, show me your skills?"
Ning Nanxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded, "Okay, Grandpa Jiang."
She didn't refuse, walked to the tea table, washed her hands, and prepared the tea set. She hadn't been so calm for a long time, and she was much more steady when making tea.
Jiang Tingchen was standing next to him, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
The tea flavor slowly emerged. Ning Nanxue poured the first portion of tea on the tea pet and the second portion to the old man.
The old man picked it up, smelled it, took a sip, and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again and said, "Well, this tea is well brewed. It's not strong, and the aftertaste is a little sweet." He looked at Ning Nanxue and said, "Girl, your heart is calmer than this tea."
Ning Nanxue smiled and said, "Grandpa Jiang, you're joking. The tea here is really good."
"Haha," the old man laughed loudly, "Good is good, don't be modest. Tingchen, this kid, finally made the right choice this time."
Jiang Tingchen wanted to say something: "Grandpa, I told you a long time ago that Nanxue--"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Alright." He turned to look at Ning Nanxue and softened his tone, "Nanxue girl, from now on, treat this place as your own home. Come over here often when you have nothing to do. If you have any questions, the Jiang family's sign is not just for show."
These words couldn't be clearer. Ning Nanxue felt warm in her heart and her eyes became moist: "Thank you, Grandpa Jiang."
This "thank you" contains so many emotions, including touching, relief, and the joy of being recognized.
Jiang Tingchen also said to his grandfather sincerely: "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you... for giving her this opportunity and for giving me this opportunity."
Old Master Jiang snorted, "Thank me? If you had brought him back sooner, how much more trouble could have been avoided?" He paused, then added, "But it's not too late now. Young man, it's good to be aggressive, but remember that being too aggressive can lead to failure. You're now at the helm of the Ning family ship, and the storm is going to be big, so you have to keep it steady."
Ning Nanxue nodded seriously: "I understand, Grandpa."
In stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere in the Jiang family, the atmosphere in the Su family was a bit depressing at the moment.
Su Yao locked herself in the room for a whole day.
There were several pillows scattered on the carpet that she had dropped, and the dressing table was also a mess.
"Ning Nanxue! It's all Ning Nanxue's fault! And that loser Fu Chen!" She gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
The news of Huayun Group's high-profile investment in Ning's was like a loud slap in her face.
The identity she was so proud of now seemed more like a joke. Fu Chen couldn't even protect himself, so how could he care about her?
Mrs. Su came back from outside and didn't see her daughter. She frowned and asked the servant, "Where's Yaoyao? Didn't she come down to eat again?"
The servant replied cautiously, "Madam, Miss... She locked herself in her room and refused to open the door even when called. She also barely ate lunch."
