Chapter 107
After that, Rong Shu stopped talking and put the phone down.
Lu Qi skimmed his mouth a little, “Long enough?”
Rong Shu heard the sourness in his tone and couldn’t help but give him a white look, “Come on, don’t you have to go back to your company, why don’t you go?”
“Heh, woman, just know how to drive me away!” Lu Qi stood up and said in a grim way.
Rongshu cried and laughed, not bothering to pay attention to her, picked up a file and read it.
……
Gu family.
Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded on the spot when she learned that Gu Yaotian had been arrested, not knowing what to do and only crying e.
She sat on the sofa with a box of drawing paper on her knee.
And on the coffee table in front of her, a small pile of paper balls had already been piled up.
“Mangyin, what do you think we should do about this?” Mrs. Gu cried, her eyes red as she looked at her daughter across the table.
Gu Manyin didn’t cry, her teeth clenched on her lower lip, “I don’t know, I’ll call and ask the uncles in the group to see if there’s a way to bail dad out.”
“Then you call quickly.” Mrs. Gu urged.
She was just a full-time wife and had always been dependent on Gu Yaotian for survival.
Now that Gu Yaotian had been arrested, she felt like the sky was falling down.
Gu Manyin took out her mobile phone and dialled a shareholder who was quite close to the Gu family.
The call was quickly answered.
However, after a few minutes, Gu Manyin took the phone out of her ear with a bad look on her face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Gu had a bad feeling in her heart, but still asked with anticipation, “How is it?”
Gu Manyin shook her head, “Uncle Lin said that Dad had sent someone to destroy the museum built by the relevant authorities, the evidence was overwhelming and he could not be released on bail.”
Mrs Gu’s face went white and she felt like the whole world was spinning.
She covered her chest and cried even harder, “How could this happen …… your father why would he go and destroy the museum!”
Gu Manyin didn’t say anything, lowering her head and covering the contortions on her face.
She couldn’t understand, her dad was clearly asking people to destroy Rong Shu’s factory, how come what he ended up destroying, was the national museum?
What was going on here, exactly?
“Mangyin, you go and find Jing Ting.” Mrs. Gu suddenly thought of an idea and grabbed Gu Manyin’s hand.
Gu Manyin looked at her, “Looking for Jing Ting?”
“That’s right, since your father can’t be released on bail, the only way is to get the officials themselves to release him, isn’t Jing Ting and Cheng Huai good friends, let Jing Ting go and talk to Cheng Huai to release your father.” Mrs Gu said with a nod.
Gu Manyin’s eyes lit up and she stood up, “I’ll go now.”
No matter what, she must get her dad out, otherwise after a long time, his position as chairman would definitely be removed by the board of directors jointly, even if he still had the most shares in his hand, he would lose his control and right to speak to the group.
And at that time, her status in the circle of young ladies will definitely not be that high.
Gu Manyin left the Gu family with her bag and went to the Fu Mansion.
When Fu Jingting returned from work, he saw her here, chatting with Wang Shuqin.
“Jingting.” Gu Manyin saw Fu Jingting and smiled as she stood up, “You’re back.”
Wang Shuqin also laughed, “I just said why did Mangyin suddenly stop answering the door, it turns out that she saw Jingting.
“Auntie.” Gu Manyin blushed, a little embarra*sed.
Wang Shuqin covered her lips and walked away with a grin.
“Why are you here?” Fu Jingting put down the briefcase in his hand and looked at Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin walked to his side and hugged his arm, “What, I can’t come?”
“No, you can tell me if you want to come, I’ll pick you up.” Fu Jingting led her back to the sofa and sat down.
Gu Manyin poured him a gla*s of water, “It’s alright, I’ll drive myself over, no need to pick up.”
Fu Jingting gave a hint, his eyes flashing slightly, “Suddenly coming over, is there something wrong?”
Gu Manyin hesitated for a moment and asked, “Jingting, do you know about my father being arrested?”
“Yes.” Fu Jingting sipped his water, “So you came looking for me because of uncle?”
“Yes.” Gu Manyin nodded, “Jingting, can you help my father, he really didn’t mean to destroy the museum.”
Not on purpose?
A flash of mockery flashed in Fu Jingting’s eyes, it quickly disappeared again, he shook his head slightly, “I can’t help, I’ve inquired about uncle’s matter, the evidence is conclusive, the state doesn’t allow bail.”
“I know, I’m not asking you to bail dad out, but I want you to talk to Mr. Cheng, as long as the Cheng family operates a bit, dad will definitely be able to get out.” Gu Manyin’s eyes were moist as she looked at him, her eyes full of expectation.
Fu Jingting wrinkled his eyebrows, “The Cheng family can indeed save uncle out, but the Cheng family will not do that, because once they do, the opponents of the Cheng family will seize this handle against the Cheng family, do you understand Mangyin?”
Furthermore, this year also happens to be the time when the leaders of Hai City change, and the Cheng family also wants to sit in that position.
So the Cheng family would never, ever allow themselves to be in the slightest bit at fault.
“I don’t understand.” Gu Manyin’s eyes instantly turned red, “You didn’t even bother to say anything, how do you know the Cheng family won’t do that?”
Fu Jingting’s frown deepened, “Mangyin, you think I’m lying to you?”
“I’m not.” Gu Manyin’s eyes flickered as she whispered back.
But Fu Jingting still saw that her mouth was not right, thin lips pursed, only to feel a burst of fatigue in the heart, “Anyway, you do not care about this matter, uncle ……”
“How can I not care ah.” The actual fact is that you can’t be a part of the actual world.
After saying that, she ran away crying.
Fu Jingting wanted to call out to her, but for some reason, he never managed to do so.
On the first floor, Fu Jinglin leaned over the railing and looked down, “Brother, aren’t you going to chase her?”
“No, it’s better to let her calm down.” Fu Jingting rubbed his temples, which were slightly swollen and painful.
Fu Jinglin skimmed his lips, “Sister Mangyin is really the same, brother you didn’t even say you wouldn’t help, she herself decided you wouldn’t help, obviously brother you just want to use another method to save uncle Gu, but she can’t understand, and she’s even mean to you, it’s simply unbelievable.”
“Alright, cut the crap.” Fu Jingting chided impatiently.
Fu Jinglin grunted, “I’m going to say it, I can see clearly, brother you refused sister Mangyin’s request to go to brother Cheng, she complained about you, I can see now, sister Mangyin is not as good as she usually shows, she is small-minded.”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said nothing.
When Fu Jinglin saw that he did not refute his words, his mouth opened wide in surprise, “No way, brother, you also think that Sister Mangyin is small-minded?”
Fu Jingting gave him a cold look.
Not only was he not afraid, but he ran down excitedly, “Brother, when did you know that Sister Mangyin is small-minded, since you know that, then why do you still like Sister Mangyin, what exactly do you like about her?”
What do you like about Gu Manyin?
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly, speaking of which, he actually couldn’t remember what he actually liked about Gu Manyin.
What he loved was the girl he corresponded with, the girl who was kind, wonderful, lively, like a little sun that could warm everyone.
But in Mangyin, he seemed to see very little of that.
He even wondered several times if Mangyin was really the girl he had corresponded with.
But if not Mangyin, who else could it be?
“Brother, what are you thinking about?” Seeing his elder brother wandering off, Fu Jinglin reached out and waved his hand in front of him.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips, “Nothing, I’m going upstairs first.”
“Brother, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Fu Jinglin followed behind him.
Fu Jingting ignored it completely and closed the door of the room behind him.
Chapter 108
Fu Jinglin almost got hit on the nose by the door panel, but luckily he braked in time.
He then sighed, hung his head and turned to leave.
……
The next day, Rong Shu and Lu Qi were reading information in the office when Secretary Tong hurriedly came in, “Mr. Rong, it’s not good, Gu Yaotian has been released.”
“What?” Rong Shu’s face changed, “Released?”
“When did it happen?” Lu Qi also asked.
Tong Xi gave him a quick glance and answered respectfully, “It was this morning, he also posted a dynamic on the official website of Sangsheng Group, saying that he was taken away by the police officers not to break the law, but to cooperate with the investigation of something, and now Sangsheng Group’s stock market has basically stabilized.”
“How could this happen!” Lu Qi’s eyebrows were furrowed to the point that he could pinch a mosquito to death.
Rongshu bit her lip, “Something must have happened here, otherwise Gu Yaotian would not have been released.”
“I’ll have someone inquire about it.” Lu Qi said, taking his phone and going to the balcony.
Rongshu lowered her eyes, her face was really bad and her mood was irritable.
She had thought that with Gu Yaotian sitting in jail, she would then be able to bring down the Sangsheng Group even faster.
After all, without Gu Yaotian, an old fox, the Sangsheng Group would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, not as powerful as before, but she never expected Gu Yaotian to get out so quickly and upset her plans.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu rubbed her temples with some reluctance.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
Rong Shu put down her hand, “Come in. ”
The person outside came in, and it was the secretary of Duan Xingbang, the president of Tiansheng Group.
Why was his secretary here?
“What can I do for you?” Rong Shu looked at him and asked indifferently.
The secretary smiled at Rong Shu and said, “Vice President Rong, President Duan wants you to go to the meeting room for a meeting.”
Hearing these words, Rong Shu’s pupils shrank for a moment.
Duan Xingbang had returned!
When did this happen?
Rongshu immediately looked at Tong Xi who was waiting quietly at the side.
Tong Xi also shook her head in surprise, indicating that she didn’t know either and hadn’t heard about the return of General Manager Duan.
Rongshu pursed her lips, her mood was heavy, but her face raised a light smile, “I know, you tell Chief Duan, I’ll be there in a moment.”
“Okay.” The secretary answered and went away.
Lu Qi came in and sensed that the atmosphere in the office was not right, and Rong Shu’s face was also a bit bad, so she couldn’t help but ask Tong Xi “What’s wrong, baby?”
Although I’ve already gotten used to hearing him call out to Mr. Rong’s baby, I still feel a little uncomfortable every time I hear it.
Tong Xi lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness in her eyes, and tried to make her tone sound natural as she replied, “It’s that Mr. Duan is back.”
“What, when did he come back, how come there’s no word of it at all?” Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.
Rongshu pursed her lips, “It seems like he deliberately didn’t let us know he was back, afraid we would stop him. ”
If we were to say who was the most unwelcome in the entire Tiansheng Group, it would definitely be Duan Xingbang, who was one of the first people who used to be with dad.
Last month, if it wasn’t for Duan Xingbang’s business trip, she wouldn’t have been able to get the management rights of Tiansheng Group even if she was the largest shareholder of the group. I’m afraid Duan Xingbang thought she would stop him from coming back for the management rights, that’s why he came back secretly by hiding his whereabouts.
“He’s delusional, isn’t he?” Lu Qi rolled his eyes.
Rongshu exhaled a foul breath and stood up, “Alright, let’s go to the meeting room first.”
Lu Qi didn’t say anything, nodded his head and walked with her towards the conference room.
Just as they were about to reach the conference room, Rongshu suddenly received a call from Fu Jingting.
Rongshu was first surprised and then hung up the phone, not intending to answer it.
She had already made it very clear that she did not want to have anything more to do with him.
So naturally, there was no need to answer this phone call.
“Who is it?” Lu Qi asked.
Rongshu’s eyes flickered for a moment and she shook her head, just about to answer someone she didn’t know, when her phone dinged again.
Fu Jingting sent a text message that his grandmother was sick and wanted to see you.
Rong Shu’s face changed slightly, her eyes full of worry, and she couldn’t care less about the thought that she didn’t want to have anything to do with Fu Jingting anymore, so she called back directly, “What’s wrong with your grandmother?”
Hearing the urgency in her tone, Fu Jingting replied in a deep voice, “I fell last night when I got up to go to the toilet.”
“What?” The volume of Rongshu’s voice rose, and her heart almost flew out of her chest as she gripped the phone tightly with both hands, and asked, “How was your grandmother’s fall, was it serious?”
When a young person fell, it was easy to get seriously injured.
Not to mention an old man of that age.
“Don’t worry, grandmother is lucky, only her leg is broken, everything else is fine.” Fu Jingting replied as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Rongshu breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, so is grandmother in the hospital now?”
Fu Jingting nodded slightly and gave a hint.
“I know, I’ll go over to visit grandmother this afternoon.” Rongshu said.
“I’ll come and pick you up.”
“No.” Rong Shu’s face was expressionless and her voice was cold as she refused, “You just need to send me the location.”
With those words, she hung up the phone straight away.
Fu Jingting looked at the phone screen that had jumped back to the main menu, his thin lips pursed.
In the past, it was always him who hung up on her first, but now that they were divorced, it had become her who hung up first.
It turned out to be such a bad feeling to be hung up on by someone coldly.
“Fu Jingting’s phone?” Lu Qi glanced at Rong Shu’s mobile phone, his tone was undisguisedly sour.
Not knowing what he was sour about, Rong Shu nodded, “Grandmother fell, I’m going to see her this afternoon.”
“She’s Fu Jingting’s grandmother, you and Fu Jingting are divorced, what’s there to visit.” Lu Qi skimmed his lips and said.
Rongshu put away her phone, “Don’t say that, my grandmother is very good to me, she fell, I can’t not go, well, let’s go, don’t keep Mr. Duan waiting.”
Lu Qi shrugged his shoulders.
The two pushed open the door of the conference room and entered, it was already filled with people, dozens of eyes looked towards the two in unison, all shareholders and departmental executives of Tiansheng Group.
Rongshu scanned the room and shifted her gaze to the main seat of the long conference table.
Before today, that seat had always been hers, but at this moment, there was another person sitting there.
The current president of Tiansheng Group, Duan Xingbang.
“President Duan, welcome back.” Rongshu greeted Duan Xingbang with a smile.
Duan Xingbang twirled his pen, “I thought that my niece hadn’t come to the meeting for so long because she wasn’t satisfied with my return, Uncle Duan.”
Rong Shu’s eyes sank, but the smile on her face remained the same, “Why not, I was just delayed for a while, Duan is an elder, don’t be angry with my niece.”
Duan Xingbang’s old eyes narrowed as he finally took a serious look at Rong Shu.
Originally, he had wanted to use her tardiness as an excuse to give her a downward spiral, to let her know that even if she was the biggest shareholder, he was the one in charge of the group.
I didn’t expect this little girl to use her eldest niece to hit back at him directly, so that he could withdraw the disgrace, or else she would be bullying the younger generation on account of her status as an elder, reacting so quickly, it seems he really underestimated her.
Duan Xingbang said with a smile on his face “Of course not, your Uncle Duan I’m not that careful to be angry at my niece.”
“Then thank you, Mr. Duan.” Rongshu smiled back.
Lu Qi gave her a thumbs up under the table and lowered his voice, “You’re great, baby.”
“Stop it.” Rongshu gave him a blank look.
Duan Xingbang could see their little gestures, and his old face was full of gloom, “All right, everyone is here, the meeting is officially starting.”
