Chapter 1117: Chapter 1118: Unpopular Real Daughter 61

The news of the major changes in Song’s quickly spread throughout the industry, and of course, Zhang Yu learned of it that very day.

It wasn’t because she had inside information, but because Song Ziming called her that evening to inform her.

Zhang Yu knew that as the heir of Song’s, Song Ziming was actually living quite an oppressed life, with his own father very wary of him.

Previously, she never thought Song Ziming would give up his position as the heir of the Song Family, as the position of Song Corporation CEO was quite enticing.

She was very surprised to learn that he actually chose to give it up.

Fu Jie was also stunned for a long time after hearing the news. He used to listen to Song Ziming’s various complaints but thought they were just complaints.

After all, with the scale of Song’s, who would be willing to give it up? It would be tantamount to giving up years of effort.

In the end, no one expected that when Song Ziming said he would give it up, he really gave it up, and even his son wouldn’t return to Song’s.

"Truly brave." Fu Jie was never particularly impressed by Song Ziming, thinking he was just a lucky guy, being the eldest grandson of the family.

With Song Shijian still around, his position as the heir seemed secure, but now he felt Song Ziming was more courageous than himself.

The issues of Song’s, even outsiders could see through a bit, and Fu’s also had its many issues.

However, Fu’s left an impression of internal strife to most, but it also allowed Fu’s to develop rapidly.

As the leader of Fu’s, he knew how exhausting it was to drive Fu’s forward.

Fu Jie had thought about leaving Fu’s and starting his business, but when he considered what he’d given to the company, it was hard to just hand it over to someone else.

Seeing Song Ziming say he’d leave and truly leave, no longer enduring the indignation, Fu Jie was really tempted.

Over the years, he had also made private investments under his personal company’s name, aiming for extra income.

This now gave him the greatest confidence to leave Fu’s, and after two days of consideration, Fu Jie directly approached Old Master Fu to express his thoughts.

Old Master Fu previously mocked Song Weikang, realizing in his old age that the carefully cultivated successor didn’t want to return.

He truly ridiculed Song Weikang, but he didn’t expect a turn of events leading to a slap in the face.

Old Master Fu stared at Fu Jie standing in front of him, "Do you even know what you’re doing?"

"I do." Fu Jie looked up at Old Master Fu, "Grandfather, I’m tired. So many projects, from decision to implementation, require endless discussions, and from implementation to action, it’s another hassle."

"After all this, the timing becomes significantly delayed." Fu Jie, having decided not to stay with Fu’s, no longer cared about the old master’s feelings.

Thinking about it now, didn’t the old master really know about the company’s issues?

No, the old master knew everything, but he wanted the company to remain under his control.

To prevent him from becoming completely out of control, the ambitions of his cousins were indulged by the old master.

Since the old master was so wary of him, then let the old master worry less.

"What are your plans? Working on your new energy venture?" Old Master Fu knew that Fu Jie was focused on this project.

Fu Jie acknowledged with a nod, "I have been handling this project myself, initially wanting to place it under Fu’s, but I estimate it would take ages to finalize."

"Song Ziming is also preparing to launch into this project." If it wasn’t for Zhang Yu deciding to collaborate with him, Song Qian wouldn’t have caused a scene at his door, and he wouldn’t have broken off the engagement.

Right now, he wouldn’t be thinking about leaving Fu’s, but rather about continuing to make an impact as President of Fu Corporation.

"What if I don’t agree with you taking the project with you?" Old Master Fu knew that new energy was the trend of future development and naturally didn’t want to see Fu Jie take this project away.

Fu Jie could predict that the chances of the old master giving in were slim, "Fine."

Old Master Fu did not expect Fu Jie to agree so readily, without any struggle, "Are you really giving it up?"

Fu Jie nodded, "I can certainly give it up. I can redraw plans, find new investments."

"By the way, contact Zhang Yu. There was a clause in the initial agreement stating that if the manager changes, she has the right to decide whether to continue the cooperation or not."

Fu Jie was confident that if he started afresh, Zhang Yu might choose to partner with him.

Old Master Fu looked at Fu Jie for a long time, "So this is your confidence."

Fu Jie smiled, "It’s my luck. Zhang Yu previously finalized a project, but later the other party replaced the manager, and the project got canned."

"Zhang Yu insisted that if the manager or team is significantly changed, renegotiation on whether to continue the cooperation is required." Fu Jie felt it was overthinking, after all, he was President of Fu Corporation, this project was managed by him, and there wouldn’t be a change in leadership.

Now he really had to thank Zhang Yu’s insistence, as he knew the old master would push for the project to be listed, but who knows about its future, Fu Jie truly wasn’t optimistic.

Old Master Fu looked at Fu Jie for a long time, knowing that without Fu Jie, the project wouldn’t operate inside Fu’s.

Given this, it’s better to reconcile with Zhang Yu. Thinking this, Old Master Fu smiled, "This project is under your command. After you leave, they wouldn’t prioritize it."

"Thank you, Grandfather." No matter what, he still wanted to thank the old master.

Old Master Fu looked at his indifferent grandson, knowing they had grown distant.

But the benefits for Fu’s must still be fought for, "Fu’s wants to invest."

"Fine." Fu Jie paused, "But it can’t exceed thirty percent."

Old Master Fu considered taking fifty percent shares, not expecting Fu Jie to propose such a little amount.

"That’s a bit low."

"Sixty percent." Old Master Fu directly offered that number.

Fu Jie laughed, "Grandfather, do you think I’d agree to that?"

"Not sixty percent, not even thirty percent is possible." Fu Jie understood that for the old master, Fu’s always takes precedence.

Even though he was a grandson raised by him, he would still want him to yield for Fu’s sake, compared to Old Master Song.

Fu Jie thought, although Old Master Song valued Song’s, he truly cared for his grandson, Song Ziming.

Well, that’s someone else’s grandfather, but at least he would soon run his own business, "Twenty percent, Fu’s will at most get twenty percent of the shares."

Old Master Fu did not expect Fu Jie to be so resolute, "You were willing to give thirty percent just now."

"With your negotiation approach, it seems you don’t want Fu’s to invest in this project."

Fu Jie nodded, "Yes, when you mentioned wanting sixty percent shares, I realized that even if I left Fu’s to start anew, you weren’t willing to let me go."

"You set me up high above, ruining my relations with my cousins."

"No matter who among them becomes President of Fu Corporation, when the project yields results, they would exercise major shareholder rights to oust me as the founder."

"No way." Old Master Fu shouted sternly, "I wouldn’t allow them to do such things."
