Chapter 229: It Is For Cheng An'an

"Cheng Wan and A Li divorced long ago. Now that A Li is dead, Cheng Wan has even less of a connection to the Chu family. What qualifications does she have to be this successor?"

Besides, other than having some talent in perfumery, Cheng Wan is quite ordinary in other respects.

She has no ability to manage such a massive conglomerate.

The Old Master is being too reckless.

"If you insist on acting arbitrarily, I don't think the uncles and elders present will agree," Chu Yue said, pulling those shareholders into the fray.

After all, this is closely tied to their interests.

Old Master Chu struck his cane hard several times, suppressing the sounds of discussion.

"My will is laid out here. If any of you want to leave, I won't stop you," Old Master Chu said forcefully.

Those people looked at each other, all hesitating.

Old Master Chu has spent his whole life struggling in the business world and understands best what is on the minds of those driven by profit.

If you show weakness at this moment, what you will get is definitely the contempt of others.

Instead, it is a tough attitude that makes them hesitate.

"Cheng Wan is too young," someone worried.

Old Master Chu said coldly, "Are the people we support just eating for free?"

"Dad," Chu Yue hated it to death.

Chu Li is dead, Chu Bolin is in jail, yet the Chu family's massive assets still haven't fallen into her hands, and instead, they have fulfilled an outsider.

She is practically vomiting blood.

Old Master Chu's gaze swept past his daughter indifferently, "Of course, I won't make a joke of everyone's interests either. She has a three-month probationary period. If she is unable to handle the management of the conglomerate after three months, we will change people."

This sentence successfully calmed all the restlessness.

The meeting ended.

Cheng Wan glanced at Chu Li, who had been standing by her side the whole time without speaking, and asked Old Master Chu a question, "Aren't you afraid I'll sell the conglomerate?"

Old Master Chu waved his hand, not caring, "You don't have that much ability yet."

He added another sentence, "This is what I am leaving for An'an."

Cheng Wan hadn't expected that Cheng An'an, only two years old, already had a net worth of tens of billions.

Old Master Chu let Cheng Wan go handle matters while he went to the underground parking garage, and unsurprisingly, he saw Chu Yue.

She was very unhappy.

"Dad, have you really thought it through?"

Old Master Chu sat in the car, his expression somewhat cold, "I remember I told you to leave here."

Chu Yue stiffened.

Of course she remembered.

It was just that Chu Li died and Chu Bolin went to jail, so she thought the Old Master wouldn't drive her away again.

As it turned out, the Old Master actually still remembered and even brought up this matter.

She explained with a guilty conscience, "The family is a mess right now, how can I leave? Dad, you only have me by your side; I must take good care of you."

Tears gathered in her eyes extremely quickly.

"Chu Yue, there are some things I don't say to give you face. Don't think I'm truly senile," Old Master Chu said sternly, feeling disappointed in this daughter.

No, he was disappointed in both the children he had left behind.

The current result is one they brought upon themselves.

Chu Yue stopped talking, restraining her surging emotions.

She was unconvinced and did not want to give up just like that.

Cheng Wan absolutely must not be allowed to stay.

In the office.

Cheng Wan looked at the documents; they were all annotated by Chu Li, and she only needed to sign them again according to what he had written.

Cheng Wan found them relatively easy to process.

Meanwhile, Chu Li removed his disguise, looked around the office, and finally looked at Cheng Wan.

She sat behind the desk in an off-white professional suit, clean and sharp; she already had the look she ought to have.

It was just that because of last night's events, their relationship had grown a bit more distant.

However, being able to stand by her side again was already very good.

Two hours later, Cheng Wan returned after finishing the meeting with Assistant Wu.

Cheng Wan's complexion was fine, but Assistant Wu's complexion was much uglier.

Chu Li asked him what had happened.

The usually calm Assistant Wu swore for the first time in his life, "Are they toxic? The plans were clearly determined long ago and just needed to be executed, but they insisted on nitpicking and saying there were problems with the plans."

These were plans determined before Chu Li had "died."

How dared they.

Just now in the conference room, those people spoke with sarcasm, and Assistant Wu felt sorry for Cheng Wan.

Chu Li glanced at Cheng Wan, who had an indifferent expression by the window, and told Assistant Wu to go out first.

He walked over, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked gently, "Have you been wronged?"

Cheng Wan looked out the window; this was the top floor, and she could take in the entire city.

She looked down at the city scenery and actually forgot to break free from Chu Li's embrace at the first opportunity.

Was she wronged?

She was wronged, after all, those people knew the plans were fine and deliberately found fault.

But she didn't feel all that aggrieved.

After all, she was now the legitimate person in charge of the entire group.

"I'm fine." She used these three words to cover up those bad emotions.

She realized belatedly that she was too close to Chu Li and gently pulled away.

Chu Li did not see any signs of decadence in her.

She had long since learned how to quickly adjust herself.

Chu Li sighed inwardly and took the initiative to go into the lounge inside, as if he knew what Cheng Wan was going to do next.

Cheng Wan didn't notice his movements; instead, she pressed the internal line to call Assistant Wu in, "Have the HR department process the dismissal for those two executives from just now, and as for the vacant positions, fill them if there are suitable candidates."

In such a large group, the one thing they didn't lack was talent.

Moreover, there were plenty of people who wanted those executive positions.

Cheng Wan would not use people who had ulterior motives; besides, there were many others silently watching, so she would kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

Assistant Wu was only surprised for a moment before he reacted, and he personally made a trip to HR.

Less than an hour later, the news of the dismissal came down.

It shocked many people.

Cheng Wan had just arrived, and instead of appeasing people, she actually dismissed them directly?

She really had a lot of nerve.

Those two executives were still together mocking how incompetent Cheng Wan was when, the next second, they received the message, and both of their faces changed.

They wanted to see Cheng Wan, but were stopped by Assistant Wu.

Assistant Wu said expressionlessly, "Ms. Cheng said that those who harm the interests of the group cannot stay."

The two of them quibbled, "We were reasonably questioning the feasibility of the plan, and we were also thinking of the future of the entire group; it's not like everything has to be whatever she says."

Their tone was full of contempt.

They felt that Cheng Wan was a woman, and an inexperienced one at that, and with someone having instructed them, they were deliberately trying to embarrass her.

They hadn't expected Cheng Wan to be this tough.

Dismissing them directly—they had to know that if they left here, it would be extremely difficult to find a job with the same salary in the future.

Assistant Wu sneered, "That plan was already finalized when President Chu was still here; did the two of you not read it?"

Even if they had read it, it wouldn't have been like this.

The executives' faces changed slightly; the plans were all done by the people below them, and they had only flipped through them roughly before submitting them, so seeing them again today, they had no impression of them at all.
