Qian Chengfeng sat in the back seat of the car, his eyes closed, one hand pinching the bridge of his nose, his brows slightly furrowed, trying to relieve his physical and mental fatigue.
Just yesterday, his father, Qian Ming, mentioned Amu.
This Amu is actually Qian Mubai, his father's illegitimate son.
Although Qian Mubai has never been able to successfully enter the Qian family, it is not because he is not hardworking or outstanding, but because Qian Chengfeng's maternal grandfather is still alive.
The Qian family's achievements today owe much to the help they received from his maternal grandfather's family.
Therefore, as long as his maternal grandfather was still alive, the mother and son would never be able to rightfully enter the Qian family's door.
Yesterday's conversation between Qian Chengfeng and his father was nothing but a hypocritical performance.
Qian Mubai was nearing thirty but had accomplished nothing, while Qian Chengfeng's position in the Qian family was becoming increasingly secure, making them uneasy.
However, they were far too naive to think they could easily influence Qian Chengfeng's decisions.
Even if Qian Chengfeng ultimately had to agree to Qian Mubai's request to join the Qian family, he was still confident that he could make the other party leave in disgrace.
Having not slept a wink last night, Qian Cheng had a terrible headache. On his way to the company, he asked the driver to buy a box of painkillers.
I had just sat down at my desk when I received a message from the princess.
"Mr. Qian, you're going back now? Remember to eat breakfast."
"Okay, sure." Qian Chengfeng simply replied with two words.
Although his reply was brief, a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
This smile contrasted sharply with the low spirits he had when he first entered the office, making him appear much more relaxed.
Qian Chengfeng gazed quietly at the photo of his mother on his desk, his eyes revealing a firmness and determination.
He murmured to himself, "Mom, you must believe that I can do even better!"
It was as if he was pouring out his heart to his deceased mother.
At this moment, the assistant gently knocked on the door and came in to report, "Mr. Qian, everyone has arrived."
Qian Chengfeng took a deep breath and then calmly replied, "Okay."
Then he stood up and prepared to go to the conference room.
However, just as he turned to leave the office, he couldn't help but glance back at his mother's photo, a hint of indescribable emotion in his eyes.
It seemed that through that one glance, he drew strength and courage.
When Qian Chengfeng entered the conference room, Qian Ming was sitting in the main seat.
Qian Mubai sat to Qian Ming's right, while the seat to his left was empty.
Qian Chengfeng walked to the empty seat without hesitation and sat down, his movements natural and fluid.
"Now that everyone is here, I have something to announce. Yesterday, I discussed with Ah Feng that he is holding two important positions, which is a bit too much for him. Now, we are appointing Ah Mu as the general manager to relieve some of the pressure on him."
As you all know, Amu graduated from a prestigious university abroad and has a lot of work experience. He is very outstanding. He wouldn't have come back if he hadn't seen his older brother working too hard on his own.
"I also hope that the two brothers can work together to make the Qian family even more successful." Qian Ming praised Qian Mubai with a smug look on his face.
However, the shareholders present all looked at Qian Chengfeng, whispering among themselves without replying, making the scene quite awkward.
Qian Chengfeng sat there without saying a word, but he was very clear about his father's intentions.
He knew yesterday that this was his father's way of weakening his power, and that Qian Mubai was his tool.
Qian Chengfeng knew that this decision was not the best for the company, but he could not directly oppose his father.
Qian Mubai smiled as he looked at everyone, his eyes sparkling with confidence.
He knew this was an opportunity to showcase his abilities and prove himself to everyone.
Although he was aware of his father's intentions, he didn't care. Perhaps his father intended to take back the power from Qian Chengfeng and that he was just a tool. But it was undeniable that his father was biased towards him.
If he can successfully enter the Qian family business, he will have the opportunity to seize all the power in his own hands.
However, the shareholders present were filled with doubts.
They were worried that such an arrangement would affect the company's stability, since Qian Chengfeng had always been a key figure in the company.
Despite Qian Mubai's excellent background, it remains to be seen whether he is capable of fulfilling the role of general manager.
The entire conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and no one dared to express their opinion easily.
Everyone is thinking about how to cope with this sudden change.
Just then, Qian Chengfeng broke the silence: "Since Father has made his decision, I respect your opinion. Amu is indeed capable, and I believe he can lead the company to greater achievements."
Upon hearing Qian Chengfeng's words, the shareholders nodded in agreement.
As Qian Chengfeng made his statement, the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually eased.
The fact that Qian Ming had an illegitimate son was not a secret within the Qian family, but the fact that he was brought into the company so openly and placed in such an important position made everyone hesitant to express their opinions.
After all, this is a struggle between the Qian family father and son, and these minority shareholders don't want to get involved.
Moreover, the Qian family's annual revenue has been steadily increasing, and they still admire Qian Chengfeng's leadership abilities quite a bit.
After all, as long as someone can lead them to make money, they will naturally choose to follow.
Seeing this, Qian Chengfeng knew the time was right, so he stood up and said slowly, "In that case, let Qian Mubai try out for three months. If he can achieve something in these three months, we'll let him stay in the company; otherwise, we'll have to ask him to leave."
His tone was unhurried, as if he had everything under control.
Upon hearing this, Qian Ming was so angry that he almost slammed his fist on the table, but at that moment, Qian Mubai gently pulled his hand, signaling him to calm down.
Qian Ming immediately restrained his temper, seemingly doting on his son.
Qian Chengfeng simply shook his head dismissively when he saw this.
Qian Mubai's lips curled up slightly: "Mr. Qian, that's fine. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand, gesturing to Qian Chengfeng.
However, Qian Chengfeng seemed not to hear him at all, and didn't even glance at him before walking straight out of the conference room.
Seeing this, the other shareholders also stood up, greeted Qian Mubai, and then hurriedly left.
Their attitude towards Qian Chengfeng was understandable; who would want an illegitimate child to take away their power? But they couldn't say anything and could only silently follow him away.
Soon, the once bustling conference room became empty, leaving only the Qian father and son.
Qian Mubai sat quietly in the chair, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.
Qian Ming stood silently to the side, his face expressionless.
The entire room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, making one feel somewhat suffocated.
