"Mr. Ning is very generous." Director Zhang nodded. "The most important thing now is to quickly return all of Howard's investment funds, and—"
"Let's deal with Fu Chen as well!" Director Wang interrupted, "He's inextricably linked to this incident!"
The conference room became noisy again, and Ning Nanxue raised her hand to signal for silence.
"Regarding Fu Chen's handling, I have a suggestion." She turned to him, her voice emotionless. "Retain his position as a director for now, but remove all management powers. Someone else will take over his job."
Fu Chen suddenly looked up and looked at Ning Nanxue with a complicated look.
"Why should he be retained as a director?" Director Wang said dissatisfiedly.
"After all, Fu Chen is the bloodline of the Fu family and the son of the founder," Ning Nanxue responded calmly. "We can punish him for his mistakes, but we can't completely erase his existence. This is out of respect for Mr. Fu."
The directors murmured for a moment before finally agreeing to the proposal. Fu Chen stared at Ning Nanxue, as if trying to see through her true intentions.
After the meeting, Fu Chen stopped Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen.
"Nanxue, thank you for keeping a place for me." He whispered, with an indescribable bitterness in his tone.
"No need to thank me. This is a respect for Mr. Fu and has nothing to do with you." Ning Nanxue responded coldly and walked straight forward.
Fu Chen suddenly turned to Jiang Tingchen and said, "Howard is right. Anyone who can easily obtain Swiss bank secrets must have a surprising background. Jiang Tingchen, who are you? What is your purpose in approaching Nanxue?"
Jiang Tingchen raised his eyebrows: "That's a strange question. Is it that only President Fu can pursue President Ning, and no one else can?"
"Please show your concern for Miss Xu." Jiang Tingchen's tone suddenly turned cold. "Don't forget, she's still at home waiting for you to explain this farce."
The directors all asked Fu Chen to hand over all authority and internal information. Without any fluctuation on his face, he immediately nodded in agreement and even offered to assist in the handover.
"I understand I made a mistake and I should take responsibility for it." Fu Chen sat upright, his voice steady and sincere, "The smooth operation of the company is much more important than me personally."
His level of cooperation surprised everyone present. Even the usually strict Director Wang nodded slightly, as if his attitude towards him had changed a little.
Fu Chen stood up and bowed slightly to her. When he turned around, his eyes met Jiang Tingchen.
Jiang Tingchen's face was calm, but he could sense the undercurrent in the other person's eyes.
Fu Chen sneered in his heart: Ning Nanxue, Ning Nanxue, you will never guess my next move. When this matter is settled, you will regret it.
"I will prepare everything as soon as possible." Fu Chen said in a gentle tone, picked up his briefcase and left the meeting room, his back looking listless.
The board of directors then passed a series of resolutions - completely terminating the cooperative projects related to Howard, taking back all of Fu Chen's management authority, and fully supporting the new energy plan led by Ning Nanxue.
After the meeting, only Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen were left in the empty conference room.
"Send the meeting minutes to the Legal Department for record." Ning Nanxue finished instructing her assistant, then breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in the leather chair. "I'm so tired."
Jiang Tingchen walked behind her and gently massaged her tense shoulders with his hands.
"Relax, the most difficult stage is over." His low voice carried soothing power.
"Fu Chen is too abnormal." Ning Nanxue frowned, "Given his personality, he would never give up so easily."
Jiang Tingchen looked towards the door of the conference room, thoughtfully saying, "Indeed, he was too quiet today. He's totally unlike himself."
"What other tricks do you think he has up his sleeve?" Ning Nanxue turned around and looked directly at Jiang Tingchen.
"It's very likely." Jiang Tingchen thought for a moment, "Perhaps he is contacting new investors, or preparing to split the board of directors from within?"
Seeing that Ning Nanxue didn't say anything, Jiang Tingchen sat closer to Ning Nanxue.
"Don't take Howard's words to heart." Jiang Tingchen held her hand. "He was just angry and wanted to sow discord."
Ning Nanxue raised her eyes slightly: "I trust you, I'm just curious - do you really have the ability to hack into the Swiss Bank system?"
Jiang Tingchen smiled mysteriously: "Well, this is a business secret."
"Honestly, who are you?" Ning Nanxue asked half-jokingly, "Normally, a technical consultant wouldn't be able to do this."
"I'm just an ordinary person who knows a little about computers." Jiang Tingchen smiled and evaded the question, then said seriously, "I just want to be by your side. Nothing else matters."
Ning Nanxue wanted to ask more questions, but the assistant knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation.
"Mr. Ning, there's news from the media. Part of the meeting content has been leaked, and the market reaction has been very positive. Fu's stock continues to rise."
"Have you found the source of the news?"
"Not yet, but the impact is positive." The assistant handed over the tablet. "Many authoritative media outlets have dubbed you the 'Iron Queen,' affirming your decisiveness in turning the tide."
Ning Nanxue browsed the reports, her expression gradually becoming serious. "Notify the PR department to hold a press conference tomorrow to personally explain the situation to investors."
After the assistant left, Jiang Tingchen whispered, "The news was leaked so quickly, it seems like someone did it on purpose."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Ning Nanxue put down the tablet. "Fu Chen wouldn't cooperate like this for no reason. What's his plan?"
"When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth." Jiang Tingchen soothed him, "Let's deal with the company's affairs first, and then we can deal with other problems step by step."
Ning Nanxue shook his hand: "I hope so."
Jiang Tingchen gently stroked her slightly cool fingertips, and his fingertips gently caressed the faintly visible blue veins on the back of her hand.
"Let's go back to the office first. There are still a pile of documents waiting to be processed." Jiang Tingchen stood up and pulled out a chair for Ning Nanxue.
"The news of Howard being kicked out will soon spread throughout the business community, and there will be more challenges waiting for us." Ning Nanxue adjusted the cuffs of her suit, her tone calm but revealing fatigue.
Jiang Tingchen straightened her messy hair and said, "No matter what happens, I will be there with you to deal with it."
At the same time, Fu Chen's black car slowly drove away from the Fu Building. He raised his hand to loosen his tie and casually threw his suit jacket on the passenger seat.
While waiting for the red light, he immediately called Xu Zhao.
"Brother-in-law? How's the situation?" Xu Zhao's voice was anxious.
"It's a mess." Fu Chen sneered, "Howard was kicked off the board, and my authority was stripped away, leaving me with only a nominal director title."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. "Is it so serious? How did Ning Nanxue do it?"
"Jiang Tingchen." Fu Chen gritted his teeth and spat out these three words. "He produced evidence of Howard's black market transactions at Swiss Bank to short the Fu Group, as well as technical traces of the server attack. This level of information is simply not accessible to ordinary people."
