Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Gong Chen Is Dead
After Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao reached a consensus, all conversations beca smoother.
The end was near.
Yang Jingwei deliberately said, “Ruoshu, accompany Fourth Master for a good tour around Jing City tomorrow.”
Bai Ruoshu responded with a hum, “I happen to have so places I want to visit too, I wonder if Fourth Master would oblige.”
Before Gong Yao could speak, Fu Xiuzhu pretended to speak casually.
“Tomorrow, Gong Yao has a company eting, Old Mr. Gong will also be there, he’s been quite busy lately, it might need to be postponed.”
“Work is important.” Yang Jingwei smiled, understanding her implication.
With Old Mr. Gong stepping in, it seems the Gong Group is indeed going to change.
Thinking about it, Yang Jingwei displayed a hesitant expression.
Fu Xiuzhu glanced at the maids in the hall, and they imdiately retreated, closing the door behind them.
“Mrs. Bai, feel free to speak directly.”
“I wonder if Madam has heard the na Lin Zhiyi.” Yang Jingwei asked.
Fu Xiuzhu pretended to hesitate, “Not familiar, but I know she’s Second Young Master’s stepdaughter.”
She didn’t reveal too much.
Hearing the familiar na, Gong Yao slightly raised his gaze, waiting for Yang Jingwei to continue.
Yang Jingwei calmly said, “Her mother Liu He is already pregnant. Second Young Master is now the vice president of the Gong Group…”
Bai Ruoshu cooperatively interrupted, “Mom, Second Young Master isn’t a clueless person.”
Yang Jingwei blurted out, “Then what about Liu He? What about Lin Zhiyi? With Third Young Master having issues, can they really be content?”
“Mrs. Bai, be mindful of your words.” Fu Xiuzhu frowned.
Yang Jingwei covered her mouth, “Sorry, I misspoke, then we won’t bother you further.”
“Madam, Fourth Master, goodbye.”
Bai Ruoshu stood up, slightly nodding, and followed Yang Jingwei out.
Fu Xiuzhu withdrew her gaze, coldly said, “This Mrs. Bai is hiding quite a bit, what do you think of what she said?”
Gong Yao said sternly, “She seems to harbor resentnt towards Second Madam and her daughter, saying so much is just an attempt to have us eliminate Second Madam and Lin Zhiyi. Liu He is just a fool, I can’t be bothered with this ss.”
“That may be true, but the child in her belly cannot be ignored. The Eldest died, Gong Yan was banished abroad, Liu He was originally infertile, the Second House is without heirs, we only need to get rid of Third Young Master, now her child is the Gong Family’s eldest grandson.”
“We don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl.” Gong Yao retorted.
Fu Xiuzhu was silent for a mont, her eyes coldly fixed on Gong Yao.
“If it weren’t for an old vixen struggling to give birth to Gong Chen, your dad would have agreed to bring you back to the Gong Family as soon as you were born, you’d be the Third Young Master, and there would be no issue with Gong Chen! Why would we need to live under aliases abroad for decades? Are you telling now that you’re soft-hearted? Because of Lin Zhiyi? Indeed, such a vixen!”
“Mom…”
Fu Xiuzhu got up, casting him a sidelong glance, “You can have her, just don’t ruin your father’s grand plans! And don’t let your father know!”
“Hmm.”
Gong Yao’s mind conjured up the face of Lin Zhiyi, and he smirked.
“Return and prepare for tomorrow’s conference, there must be no mistakes.” Fu Xiuzhu instructed.
“Mom, don’t worry, Gong Chen is in our hands, the evidence is also with us, he can’t co back.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuzhu lifted her gaze to look upstairs, finally at ease.
…
The following day, Gong Group conference.
The driver’s cancer-related vendetta against wealth beca a trending topic.
Everyone was cursing a dead man.
There were also so rational analyses in the comnts.
“Driver held a grudge against the wealthy, why is this adopted son unscathed?”
“Even if Third Young Master risked his life to save him, there was still Third Young Master’s assistant in the car. How could the three of them be outmatched by a terminal cancer patient?”
But these doubts were either deleted or drowned out.
The person behind controlled the direction of all rumors.
anwhile, Gong Yao remained perfectly hidden.
He even entered the Gong Group’s internal conference as Old Mr. Gong’s adopted son.
The enormous eting room, long rectangular redwood table, high-backed chairs, understated luxury, yet a touch of solemnity.
In the past, Gong Chen sat in the foremost position.
Today, it was vacated, the hall full of Gong Family mbers, quietly conversing, each with their own thoughts.
Seeing Old Mr. Gong entering with people, everyone stood up.
“Sit down.”
Old Mr. Gong sat with Gong Yao at the second position below Gong Chen’s.
After Gong Chen married Sang Ran, Old Mr. Gong fulfilled his promise, letting Gong Chen reclaim his mother’s inheritance.
Throughout the Gong Group, Old Mr. Gong had to respect him to so extent.
If not for the bloodline and other family mbers’ balance.
Gong Chen would have fully controlled the Gong Group by now.
Thus, even without Gong Chen, according to the company’s rules, Old Mr. Gong could not sit in the chief position.
Old Mr. Gong cast a light glance at the seat representing power, solemnly said, “Gong Chen had an accident, as a father I’m deeply saddened, but the Gong Group is vast, it mustn’t be leaderless.”
The elders supporting Gong Chen imdiately responded.
“Currently, only the second brother Shi Yan has the capability.”
“Shi Yan has perford well over the years, many of Lao San’s collaborations are known to him, taking over should not be difficult.”
“Once Lao San returns, he can quickly catch up.”
The final remark made the entire eting room beco silent.
Old Mr. Gong coldly faced them, “Do you think Lao San can still co back? Should we all wait for him?”
They said nothing.
After hearing Old Mr. Gong’s words, they realized Gong Chen was not coming back.
Gong Shiyan’s face turned sullen, retorting, “There’s no body, how can he not co back? If you hadn’t suddenly withdrawn so many rescue teams, how could Lao San not be found?”
Old Mr. Gong shot Gong Shiyan a glare.
“Such impulsiveness, how can you achieve anything big? Perhaps you’ve long been confused by the allure of won!”
“Lao San is my brother! Why can’t I act impulsively?” Gong Shiyan said angrily.
Seeing him enraged, Old Mr. Gong remained particularly indifferent.
“Is this who you’re saying can take on great responsibility?”
Everyone still remained silent.
Gong Shiyan, provoked by the Old Mr. Gong’s callousness, struggled to stand.
Just as he was about to rush out, he was restrained by Old Mr. Gong’s bodyguards.
His assistant tried to step forward but was stopped.
Old Mr. Gong looked discontentedly at Gong Shiyan, “Without rules, how could the company be entrusted to you?”
Gong Shiyan froze, realizing the implication of his words.
“What do you an?”
“Gong Chen is dead, I decided to have Gong Yao temporarily act as president.” Old Mr. Gong announced rising.
“Lao San isn’t dead! Gong Yao is not qualified to replace him!” Gong Shiyan objected.
Old Mr. Gong was not surprised by his objection, said coldly, “I said it’s temporary, as for the future, it depends on Gong Yao’s performance, then everyone will make a decision.”
Even so, once Gong Yao assus this position.
Old Mr. Gong will surely pave the way for him.
Moreover, people are well aware of Gong Yao and Old Mr. Gong’s true identity.
Thus, only needing to announce that Gong Yao is Old Mr. Gong’s biological son, the presidency will inevitably belong to him.
Gong Shiyan looked at Old Mr. Gong, trembling with anger.
Even a fool could see every step of Gong Yao’s return to the country was pre-planned.
“Lao San is your son! He’s Mother’s biological child! You can’t do this to him!”
Old Mr. Gong lifted his head, speaking wistfully, “You’re right, he is my son, disobeying is his greatest mistake.”
“…”
Gong Shiyan looked at him in despair.
In his mind echoed the words his older brother resolutely said when faking his death and forsaking everything.
“Second brother, I’m sorry, I really had enough, a dog can’t stop eating shit. He can’t change, he can never change in his lifeti.”
Old Mr. Gong ignored Gong Shiyan, looked around the room.
“Anyone else opposing?”
The crowd exchanged glances.
At this point, power returned to Old Mr. Gong’s hands.
He pointed to Gong Yao, then to Gong Chen’s seat.
“Sit down, do your best.”
“Yes, Dad.”
Gong Yao rested his hand on the high seat’s armrest, about to sit down when a voice echoed from the doorway.
“I object!”
