Chapter 157: Was I really sorry to him?
Zhou Lan has always been dishonest, a fact known to everyone. And Fu Xiuheng, who has close ties with the Lin family, is unlikely to be any better.
After all, birds of a feather flock together.
Moreover, Fu Xiuheng's previous actions against Shenghai Group had created a deep-seated grudge.
Lin Qingran has been holding a grudge about this, but hasn't had a chance to report it yet.
It still resulted in Fu Xiuheng suffering a severe setback.
Only when he himself suffers a heavy blow and is too preoccupied to take care of himself will he have no energy or mind to target himself.
After careful consideration, Lin Qingran decided to meet with Fu Jingnian.
Fu Jingnian arrived quickly and was led by Xiao Zhou to a quiet conference room.
No one knows what Lin Qingran and Fu Jingnian talked about, but two hours later, they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
The next day, shocking news arrived.
The official website of Shenghai Group announced the major news that Fu Jingnian will serve as the CEO of Shenghai Group's Jiangcheng subsidiary.
It is well known in the industry that Jiangcheng's subsidiary plays a pivotal role in Shenghai Group's strategic layout, possessing abundant resources and enormous development potential.
Fu Jingnian's appointment as CEO has undoubtedly given the industry quite a shock.
People speculated about the intentions and potential impact of Sheng Hai Group's move. For a time, various discussions and analyses filled the entire industry, and Sheng Hai Group once again became the focus of attention because of this decision.
The shock of the crowd was not only due to Fu Jingnian's sudden appearance, but more importantly, the fact that Fu Jingnian had been expelled from the Fu family for many years and was now able to return was truly unexpected.
This sparked a new round of discussion within Beijing's social circles, with the level of interest continuing to rise.
Many people are discussing that Fu Jingnian's abilities were comparable to Fu Xiuheng's back then, and both were outstanding young talents.
No one could believe that he, with such a promising future, would ultimately be kicked out of his home and give up his bright prospects for a female celebrity.
But now that Fu Jingnian has made a strong comeback, everyone's curiosity has been completely ignited, so many people are discussing whether the reason why Fu Jingnian was kicked out of his family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Fu Jingnian acted swiftly and decisively.
After taking office, he made his first major decision without hesitation: to announce that he would participate in the bidding for a plot of land in Jiangcheng.
The news spread like wildfire back to the capital, instantly detonating a bombshell in high society circles and causing a huge uproar.
As is well known, the Fu Group has been meticulously preparing and planning for a long time in order to compete for this highly valuable and promising piece of land.
Everyone knows perfectly well that the companies that are currently in the public eye are just there to make the competition look more impressive.
However, Fu Jingnian's sudden release of this news made his intentions all too clear.
This is tantamount to publicly announcing to everyone that he is taking revenge on Fu Xiuheng.
Upon learning of this news, Fu Xiuheng immediately convened a meeting of senior executives.
This land is of paramount importance to the Fu Group, as it relates to their future strategic layout and development prospects. They absolutely cannot allow Fu Jingnian to take it away.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and everyone looked serious.
However, during the meeting, a director publicly questioned Fu Xiuheng.
He frowned and asked in a serious tone.
"President Fu, did you really do something to wrong Fu Jingnian back then? If so, the best way to resolve this is to apologize to Fu Jingnian. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and we can't let a small matter cause us to lose more than we gain."
After these words were spoken, the others began to whisper among themselves.
Fu Xiuheng's face darkened further. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.
"Nonsense! I, Fu Xiuheng, have done nothing wrong to Fu Jingnian!"
However, the crowd clearly did not believe it, and their gazes toward Fu Xiuheng were full of doubt, even hinting at blame.
Fu Xiuheng was instantly enraged, his eyes wide open and veins bulging on his forehead.
Over the years, there have been various rumors and many people have suspected that he was behind it all, which led to Fu Jingnian being expelled from the Fu family.
But in all honesty, Fu Xiuheng really did not do such a thing!
Although he knew that Fu Jingnian's forced departure might indeed have been due to Shen Pei'an's machinations.
But as for what shady things Shen Pei-an had done, he never told me.
Whenever asked, Shen Pei-an would always evade the question and try to cover it up.
Fu Xiuheng was unaware of the truth, yet he had no way to defend himself and could only silently endure the misunderstandings and doubts from the outside world.
Now, at this crucial juncture, these old stories have been brought up again, how could he not be consumed by rage?
From beginning to end, Fu Xiuheng was kept in the dark. He knew nothing about the specific methods Shen Pei'an had used to cause Fu Jingnian's expulsion; all he knew was the cold and ruthless outcome.
Over the years, Fu Xiuheng has been blackmailed by the Lin family with this fabricated reason, as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move, and his heart has long been filled with endless resentment and frustration.
This feeling of being manipulated and controlled left him feeling choked up, yet helpless.
Now, at such an important meeting, he was being questioned in public.
Those harsh words were like sharp swords, piercing straight at his self-esteem.
Fu Xiuheng could no longer suppress his anger. The burning rage made his face turn red, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt.
Before he completely erupted, he gritted his teeth and left the conference room without saying a word.
Fu Xiuheng went to the Lin Group in a great hurry.
He stormed into Lin Beichen's office without any hesitation or pretense.
Upon meeting Lin Beicheng, they went straight to the point.
"Lin Beichen, stop pretending. I already know it's you. You've been faking it for two whole years, even going so far as to get plastic surgery to look like Shen Pei'an. You've really gone to great lengths to achieve your goal. It's disgusting!"
However, Lin Beichen was not angry. He still had that calm and unhurried smile on his face, and politely invited Fu Xiuheng in. He even asked in a leisurely manner.
"Judging from your exasperated state, you must be completely overwhelmed by troubles right now?"
Fu Xiuheng was very angry. His brows were furrowed, he glared at Fu Xiuheng, and he spoke loudly.
"This is none of your business, stop gloating!"
Lin Beichen smiled and shook his head, a smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning. He spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Fu Xiuheng, if you really think it has nothing to do with me, you wouldn’t have come to find me. Let’s be frank, you know the answer.”
