Chapter 232: Chapter 175: Unwilling, Waiting_2

Suddenly, at this moment, the door to the meeting room opened, and a chilling presence approached as Fu Tingzhou, dressed in a black suit, slowly walked in. The atmosphere was deadly and cold.

The man’s gaze narrowed, indifferently sweeping over the faces of several directors. An Binghui immediately lost his arrogant composure, slowly lowered his head, and sat down without daring to look into Fu Tingzhou’s eyes.

The man walked over step by step.

Everyone stood up, calling out ’President Fu’ in unison.

After sitting down, Fu Tingzhou opened the file in front of him. These were the cooperation projects with Lan’an Group that Fu’s had drafted some time ago, but they were now void as Lan’an Group had chosen to cooperate with the Shu Family instead.

Fu Tingzhou glanced at the contract and then tossed it into the trash bin at the side.

He lifted his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the three directors again, "Uncle An, Uncle Fu, Uncle Zhang, now that I’m here, whatever you wanted to say, please continue."

The man’s powerful aura made several people look at each other in silence, not daring to speak.

It was Fu Hualin who coughed and spoke first, after all, he was truly Fu Tingzhou’s uncle and had some face.

"Tingzhou, we were also anxious. After all, we’ve lost such a big cooperation, and it’s gone over to the Shu family... This time, our group will lose at least tens of billions. Uncle An and Uncle Zhang’s worries are understandable."

Zhang Taisen also cleared his throat, relying on his status as an elder, and then said, "Yes, Tingzhou, all of us uncles have been with your grandfather Fu from the very beginning and have watched you grow up. We supported you all along as per your grandfather’s wishes. Now that we’ve lost such a big cooperation, it’s normal for us to be worried."

Fu Tingzhou sat with his legs crossed, his posture relaxed but his gaze sharp, exerting a compelling pressure. He looked around indifferently; no one in the meeting room dared to make a sound.

"Uncle Fu, I remember, you have a son, who is also at Fu’s, seems to be a manager on some project, brought in by you the year before last through your personal promotion."

Guan Yue at the side immediately passed a set of materials to Fu Tingzhou, who flung them to Fu Hualin, "Uncle Fu, I believe you’ll find this material quite interesting; it’s far more intriguing than the contract with Lan’an."

Fu Hualin glanced at the material in his hands and suddenly startled, a look of fear appearing in his eyes.

Fu Tingzhou stood up, his voice low and deep, "In two years, how much loss has Fu Jingze brought to the company, how much money have you few people secretly embezzled by changing cooperative projects, lined your pockets, and misused company funds? Did you think I didn’t know?"

The expressions of several senior directors changed instantly.

At this time, Fu Tingzhou said, "You all are the old directors of the company and have contributed a lot. Now, you are elderly and not as keen as before. I don’t have the heart to let you continue working here. You should be able to enjoy your retirement, and I will buy back your shares at a price above market value."

Fu Hualin couldn’t believe it, "Fu Tingzhou, whatever you say, I am still your real uncle!"

A cold, indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Fu Tingzhou’s lips, "Yes, and because you are my uncle, that’s why I haven’t delivered these materials directly to the police. Isn’t that right? Uncle?"

A chill ran down the spines of several people.

Because in private, they had all done things like planting their own people into Fu’s and misappropriating funds. Over the years, they always thought they were safe, never expecting...

After dealing with these people, Fu Tingzhou began the meeting anew.

The failure of this cooperation did have a certain impact on Fu’s, but the impact was not substantial. After all, Fu’s had always been thriving; tens of billions meant little to them. However, Lan’an Group’s sudden shift to the Shu Family made Fu Tingzhou realize that there seemed to be an invisible hand manipulating behind the scenes, as cooperating with Fu’s was clearly more profitable for Lan’an.

Yet, within a day, they turned their backs and went to the Shu Family.

Indeed, it put Fu’s in a passive situation in the short term.

"Guan Yue, check who Chen Zui has been in contact with recently."

Guan Yue had actually already checked, and at this moment, she hesitated. She looked at Fu Tingzhou, opened her mouth, but remained silent. Fu Tingzhou’s eyebrows furrowed, "Speak."

Guan Yue lowered her head and spoke softly, "Last night, Chen Zui, the CEO of Lan’an Group, met with Xu Rongchen at the Liuxiang Tea House."

Upon mentioning the name Xu Rongchen, Fu Tingzhou’s eyes flashed sharply, a hint of astonishment quickly concealed.

-

The meeting ended after eleven.

At noon, Fu Tingzhou had scheduled time with several new partners, and by evening, he had declined two dinner parties to return to Qingfeng Garden.

He just opened the door and walked in.

The air carried a faint scent of agarwood, but it felt cold and deserted; no lights were on inside the house, making it dark.

It was now around six in the afternoon.

The setting sun cast a warm glow through the window.

He looked around, and Tang Xi seemed to be absent.

Fu Tingzhou loosened his tie, casually took off his suit jacket, and threw it on the sofa. His grandfather was suddenly hospitalized last night, and he didn’t rest well staying by his bedside. He rushed to the company for a meeting early this morning and had been busy all day, now finally his tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Tang Xi." The man’s voice was a bit hoarse, calling out.

He looked at the water glass on the table, half-full, and tilted his head back to take a couple of sips.

The cool water soothed the dry pain in his throat.

Fu Tingzhou walked into the bedroom which was empty, and he took out his phone, dialed Nie Xiaoyun’s number, "Where is Tang Xi?"

Nie Xiaoyun lied.

She wanted to buy more time for Tang Xi.

So, she chose to lie.

"Sister Tang Xi is out shopping with me... she should be back later."

Fu Tingzhou frowned with displeasure, "Put her on the phone."

Nie Xiaoyun blurted out, "She’s helping someone, a child got his hand cut, and she’s... busy dressing the wound, she can’t talk right now... Mr. Fu, I’ll have her call you back later."

Fu Tingzhou did not doubt it.

Because Tang Xi would indeed do such a thing.

She would not ignore an injured child and would treat it with seriousness.

He was eager to tell her the news of their remarriage, it seemed that he had finally taken this step. She had asked him countless times, did he like her? Now, at last, he could give her a definite answer.

"Bring her back as soon as possible, ensure her safety, and don’t let her out of your sight," however, Fur Tingzhou’s brows suddenly twitched, as if something was happening, and he stood up, "Where are you guys now, which mall? I’ll come to pick her up."

He couldn’t wait even a second longer.
