Chapter 769: Wrap It Up!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The share price of the Kaide Corporation was constantly on the decline. Fu Qingquan, who was advanced in age, felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
News of Tang Xi attending the wedding had reached Secretary Song’s ears, and he thought that Fu Huai’an had made up his mind to go over to the Jiahe Corporation.
Once Fu Huai’an left, his capable right-hand man, Lu Jinnan, would naturally follow. Secretary Song was worried about the Kaide Corporation’s future too!
Since he couldn’t count on Fu Huai’an or Lu Jinnan, Secretary Song could only pin his hopes on Fu Cheng.
However, Fu Cheng was being held at Haicheng West’s Old Master Wang’s place right now. Secretary Song had gone over in Fu Qingquan’s name and asked for his family’s Young Master. While Old Master Wang did give him face and personally met with him, he only said this—that he only recognized Fu Huai’an from the Fu family!
Old Master Wang remembered how, when his child was tossed at the roadside, it was Fu Huai’an who called up Vice-Director Fang of the Province Department of Public Security. The loyal Old Master Wang remembered this debt of gratitude. Especially now, when the Kaide Corporation was in a mess because of the fight over inheritance rights, Old Master Wang was giving face to Fu Huai’an.
Old Master Wang didn’t manage to find out the whereabouts of the person he was looking for through his questioning, and he couldn’t very well keep holding Fu Cheng at his place and not release him. Although the Fu family was in decline and weakening, and even though everyone said that Fu Huai’an was abandoning the Kaide Corporation for the Jiahe Corporation, who knew what Fu Huai’an was truly thinking?
He had been in charge of things at the Kaide Corporation for so many years, so how could he just give it up like that?
That was why Old Master Wang said that he only recognized Fu Huai’an. One, he truly did it with a debt of gratitude in mind. Two, he was doing it in consideration of his grandson’s future…
Now that Old Master Wang’s only grandson was lying in a vegetative state, other than seeking revenge, Old Master Wang had to plan for his grandson’s future painstakingly. Else, after he passed on, what would happen to that child?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Master Wang knew a little about Fu Huai’an’s ways of handling things all these years, so he did have some qualms about him.
If he managed to establish some ties with Fu Huai’an, he was willing to put the entire Wang family at stake and ask Fu Huai’an to help ensure that his grandson managed to live well until he died naturally. Old Master Wang believed that Fu Huai’an would agree to help!
Old Master Wang had no doubts about Fu Huai’an’s character. In Haicheng’s business circle, so long as Fu Huai’an agreed to help, he would be true to his word and could be depended upon.
Old Master Wang had actually already asked other people to subtly let Lu Jinnan know what he was thinking. Lu Jinnan had told Fu Huai’an about it, but Fu Huai’an didn’t seem to put it to heart.
Although Old Master Wang only had one grandson, the Wangs were well-established and had deep roots… Surely they would be able to find someone closer that was dependable?
But today, after hearing Secretary Song say that the Wangs only recognized Fu Huai’an from the Fu family, Tang Zheng began to think of the situation differently.
It was true that there were other people in the Wang family, but that person had to have the capability to protect the Wang family. Speaking of capability… who in Haicheng could compare to Fu Huai’an?
Tang Zheng stood rather far away and could only hear bits and pieces of the conversation…
Fu Huai’an stood in the heavy snow with his hands in his pockets, his calm features not revealing any emotions, appearing deep and unfathomable.
“What has Fu Cheng got to do with me?” Fu Huai’an asked Secretary Song.
Secretary Song was at a loss for words. Originally, he had wanted to say that Fu Cheng was considered Fu Huai’an’s uncle, but before he said it out loud, he thought about how calm and indifferent Fu Huai’an sounded. He was clearly unwilling to help, so Secretary Song swallowed those words.
“President Fu…” Secretary Song’s throat vibrated.
Fu Huai’an’s deep and black eyes looked towards the backseat.
The car window lowered, and Fu Tianci could be seen sticking his head out and saying in an impatient voice, “Secretary Song! Are you coming or not? My phone is running out of battery!”
The youth’s down jacket was unzipped, revealing his white shirt with a stiff collar and black suit jacket, appearing clean and stylish. There was visible displeasure on his handsome, albeit slightly immature, facial features, and his brows were furrowed. One hand was holding a charger with a blinking red light to indicate that it was running low on battery, while his other hand was holding his phone, which displayed a game on the screen.
“Coming right away! There’s a charger in the car. I’ll find a USB cable for you later…” Secretary Song smiled at Fu Tianci and spoke nicely with the youth.
“Faster!” the youth mumbled, then rolled the car window back up. Through the black window, one could vaguely see the fancy colors on the phone screen.
“President Fu, I’ll be leaving with Young Master!” Secretary Song said respectfully to Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an gave a courteous nod.
Inside the car, the youth staring at his phone, whose fingers were rattling across his screen, seemed to recall something. Seeing that Fu Huai’an was turning around to leave, he hurriedly lowered the window and said to Fu Huai’an, “Lin Nuan said that the recording for the TV show was postponed to tomorrow. Help me ask her if there’s a dress code. Tell her to let me know on WeChat! So that I can tell my classmates!”
“Okay!”
Fu Huai’an answered, then went to stand with Tang Zheng under the roof and lit up a cigarette.
Amidst the smoke, he heard Tang Zheng say, “I think Fu Tianci regards you as his father!”
Fu Huai’an didn’t say a word.
Tang Zheng gazed at the rear lights of Secretary Song’s car, then asked, “Do you want me to go ask around at Old Master Wang’s? To sound him out?”
The grandson of Old Master Wang was still lying in a bed and had yet to regain consciousness. Speaking of which, it was Tang Zheng’s doing. But then again, who asked that rascal to be so blind as to trifle with Lu Jinnan’s woman!
“I’ve realized that you’re particularly likable!” Tang Zheng said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFu Huai’an turned his head and shot Tang Zheng a questioning look.
Tang Zheng turned his head and looked inside the door. Seeing that no one was coming out, he shifted the cigarette from his lips and tapped away some ashes before saying in a low voice…
“Old Master Fu is busy trying to wrestle the Kaide Corporation from you to hand over to his son, yet in the end, his son loves you so deeply. We made old Master Wang’s grandson this way—lying unconscious in a bed—yet Old Master Wang seems like he has the intention of handing the Wang family to you! Why are you so charming?”
Tang Zheng spoke with interest, but Fu Huai’an appeared uninterested, maintaining a calm attitude.
“Something on your mind?” Tang Zheng asked with a hand in his pocket when he saw Fu Huai’an slightly frowning.
In his head, Fu Huai’an was replaying the words that Tang Xi said before he left.
The number of people who survived from back then was countable with one hand—there were merely three of them!
One of them had died in prison. As for the two that were still alive, Fu Huai’an had thought that they would likely not be able to get out of prison in this lifetime.
Fu Huai’an lowered his gaze, looking at the glow of the cigarette. The cigarette ash from his fingertips landed on the cobblestone pavement, together with the falling fluffy snow.
“Wrap it up!” Fu Huai’an said.
With the chemistry built up over so many years, Tang Zheng knew what Fu Huai’an was referring to…
Fu Huai’an wasn’t planning to drag things out regarding the Kaide Corporation.
Previously, Fu Huai’an had moved slowly, but not because he was showing consideration for Fu Tianci. Tang Zheng took a puff of his cigarette, then nodded. “I guarantee that we’ll settle it tomorrow before daybreak!”
“Huai’an!” Aunt Blessing’s anxious voice could be heard as she came downstairs with a phone in her hand. She was frantically looking for Fu Huai’an in the living room.
