Fu Yan Ting saw He Qi's smug expression and his lips curved slightly upwards.
He Qi, unaware of Fu Yan Ting's thoughts, felt a bad premonition from Fu Yan Ting's confident smile.
Could it be that Fu Yan Ting had found that mysterious person?
But soon, He Qi dismissed the idea. That mysterious person was already dead. Where could he find them? Even if he did, it would only be a pile of ashes.
Thinking this, He Qi had nothing to fear.
He Qi's lips also curved upwards.
Sizing up Fu Yan Ting, He Qi silently thought, "Laugh now, Fu Yan Ting. You won't be able to laugh tomorrow."
While He Qi was feeling triumphant, Fu Yan Ting spoke again, "He Qi, your news is still not very well-informed. As the eldest young master of the He family, why do you always buy fake news?"
"Fu Yan Ting, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean, who told you that King is dead?"
He Qi didn't understand Fu Yan Ting's meaning.
His smile froze on his lips as he carefully pondered Fu Yan Ting's words. He didn't know if the mysterious person was truly alive, or if Fu Yan Ting was intentionally saying this to make He Qi panic.
However, no matter what, for now, He Qi still held one percent more shares than Fu Yan Ting.
He would investigate this "King" later.
This time, he refused to believe he couldn't bring down Fu Yan Ting.
He Qi's actions were not just for the He family, but also for Shi Wen Wen.
Shi Wen Wen had risked her life for Fu Yan Ting, only to end up with such a fate.
He Qi felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not worth it for Shi Wen Wen.
He Qi was determined to avenge Shi Wen Wen.
"Fu Yan Ting, go ahead and be smug. After this year, let's see how smug you can be."
With those words, He Qi got up and left.
Leaving Fu Yan Ting alone.
After He Qi left.
Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes.
Did He Qi really think he had won just because the directors sold their shares to him?
He was simply naive and foolishly laughable.
In fact, Fu Yan Ting had known from the very beginning when He Qi started contacting those directors.
The reason Fu Yan Ting hadn't spoken up was to see what game those directors were playing.
And with his grandfather having passed away so many years ago, the veteran directors of Fu's Group were all reaching retirement age. Fu Yan Ting could use this opportunity to thoroughly reorganize the company.
Therefore, Fu Yan Ting turned a blind eye to He Qi's dealings with those old foxes.
Fu Yan Ting didn't stop him. After all, Fu's Group was due for a change.
Fu Yan Ting didn't take He Qi's blatant provocation seriously at all. He even found it a little amusing.
The next day!
The board of directors meeting of Fu's Group was held as scheduled.
Fu Yan Ting was wearing a black suit and was tying his tie at home.
Seeing Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting suddenly handed the tie to her and said, "Tie my tie for me today."
Yan Xi blinked in confusion.
"Are you sick?"
How could she tie a tie?
Yan Xi didn't know that today was a shareholders' meeting for Fu's Group, a very special day for Fu Yan Ting. He wanted Yan Xi to tie his tie herself, making the day even more meaningful.
But Fu Yan Ting hadn't expected Yan Xi to call him sick.
Fu Yan Ting's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Yan Xi worried that Fu Yan Ting would threaten her with the child again and sighed helplessly.
Really, with the child in his hands, she had no choice but to compromise.
Yan Xi resigned herself to her fate and walked up to Fu Yan Ting, asking, "What day is it today? You want me to tie your tie, but I don't know how to tie one."
"It's alright, I'll teach you."
Fu Yan Ting held Yan Xi's hands as she held the tie, and then he began to show her how to tie it, bit by bit.
It seemed Yan Xi had never had such an intimate interaction with Fu Yan Ting before. At this moment, with his hand holding hers, Yan Xi's face turned exceptionally red.
Like the rising sun, that westering sunlight.
Seeing Yan Xi blush, Fu Yan Ting's mood instantly improved.
He suddenly said, "Today is indeed quite a special and meaningful day. I'll tell you after it's over."
Why wait until it's over?
In Fu Yan Ting's heart, did she not even deserve to participate?
Yan Xi suddenly withdrew her hand from Fu Yan Ting's. Fu Yan Ting knew Yan Xi had misunderstood him again.
He sighed helplessly, then explained, "I have to attend a board meeting all day. If you're not afraid of being bored, you can come with me. But I won't have time to accompany you. You'll have to spend the time alone in my office."
"Okay."
Fu Yan Ting had just said it casually, but Yan Xi actually agreed.
Fu Yan Ting had no choice but to take Yan Xi to the company.
When Fu Yan Ting arrived, all the veteran directors of the company were already there, waiting for him in the conference room.
After Fu Yan Ting settled Yan Xi, he went to the conference room.
Upon his arrival, the directors, devoid of their usual pleasantries, sneered, "Mr. Fu, you're late."
"As the leader of Fu's Group, how can you manage such a large company without a sense of punctuality?"
The directors exchanged barbs, all pointing out Fu Yan Ting's flaws.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at the time and coldly swept his gaze across the directors present, saying indifferently and distantly, "The meeting is not scheduled to start until 9:30. It's only 9:28 now, there are still two minutes. How can you say I'm late?"
Fu Yan Ting's words made their faces turn extremely ugly.
What he said was the truth.
And they had just been deliberately trying to provoke Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting continued, "Moreover, He Qi hasn't arrived yet. How can your meeting proceed? Are you intending to hold it secretly behind He Qi's back?"
At this remark, the directors' faces grew even more unsightly.
Fu Yan Ting's words implied that after betraying him, they were now trying to defy He Qi.
These directors had no such intention and certainly wouldn't bear such a burden.
They all wisely shut their mouths and stopped arguing with Fu Yan Ting.
At 9:30 AM, Fu Yan Ting looked at his watch and said, "The meeting officially begins now."
But He Qi still hadn't arrived.
Fu Yan Ting's action was clear: he didn't take He Qi seriously.
How could these directors not understand?
In terms of leadership ability, Fu Yan Ting was indeed more capable than He Qi. However, He Qi was easier to control than Fu Yan Ting, which was why these directors wanted He Qi to be the new president.
As soon as Fu Yan Ting finished speaking, He Qi pushed open the conference room door and walked in. He looked at Fu Yan Ting and said coldly, "Mr. Fu, what do you mean by this?"
