Chapter 787: She Could See Right Through Him Immediately
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Right after Secretary Song helped Fu Qingquan sit down on the edge of the bed, Fu Qingquan smashed the porcelain teacup on the bedside table.
The Eight Treasures Tea was spilled onto the ground, and the top-quality porcelain was smashed to pieces.
Secretary Song placed the wheelchair aside and helped Fu Qingquan lie down on the bed as he pacified him in a low voice, saying, “Chairman, the doctor said that it’s not good for you to be agitated!”
“Just look at her! She can’t wait to drive me to my grave!” Fu Qingquan was so furious that his chest hurt.
“Old Madam has always been soft at heart. You know that, Chairman!”
After placing the blanket over Fu Qingquan, Secretary Song took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and took out a broom and mop from the washroom to clean up the floor. He still felt uneasy afterward. Hence, with tape borrowed from the nurse, he knelt on the ground and dabbed at Fu Qingquan’s slippers and the floor. He was worried that Fu Qingquan would get cut by the porcelain shards.
“You don’t have to do this. Just leave this to the cleaners!” Fu Qingquan felt better after seeing how careful Secretary Song was.
“It’s just a small spill. There’s no need to get the cleaners!” Secretary Song smiled and went to the washroom to wash his hands.
Lu Qingmei arrived while Secretary Song was still in the washroom…
The moment Lu Qingmei entered, she sat on the edge of the bed and asked Fu Qingquan with tears in her eyes why he didn’t tell her that he had been admitted to the hospital.
Being cared for by someone would always make a person happy. Compared to Old Madam Fu’s attitude, regardless of whether Lu Qingmei’s concern about him was genuine, it at least made Fu Qingquan feel at ease.
Lu Qingmei only asked Fu Qingquan about Fu Huai’an joining the board of directors as the largest shareholder after pouring a glass of water for him.
“Fu Huai’an holds more than 50% of the shares, so in the future, the Kaide Corporation…”
“Qingmei!” Fu Qingquan looked at Lu Qingmei. “Our Tianci isn’t cut out to run a company. You and I both know that! The Kaide Corporation can only flourish when it’s in Fu Huai’an’s hands!”
Lu Qingmei’s face paled, and she loosened her grip on Fu Qingquan’s arm.
Fu Qingquan noticed Lu Qingmei’s reaction but calmly continued, “I’ve left all my shares to Tianci. So long as Fu Huai’an is in the Kaide Corporation and can take it to greater heights, Tianci will be fine, even if he only sits around and remains a second-generation rich kid for the rest of his life!”
Lu Qingmei’s eyes trembled slightly. She didn’t think that Fu Qingquan had no plans to take back the Kaide Corporation from Fu Huai’an. He was planning to give it up to Fu Huai’an just like that.
Fu Qingquan was old after all. He was no longer as impetuous as he was in his youth and no longer saw the need to fight over everything.
Now, Fu Qingquan had become more conservative. He just wanted to reap the greatest benefits from whatever had been established and thus erred on the side of caution.
Besides, Fu Qingquan knew that if he insisted on handing the Kaide Corporation over to Fu Tianci, who had no interest in managing it, it would be akin to handing it over to Lu Qingmei. Lu Qingmei was indeed a capable woman, but her abilities paled in comparison to Fu Huai’an’s.
Fu Qingquan previously allowed Lu Qingmei to manage the company to test her. He approved Lu Qingmei because she was Fu Tianci’s mother and hence wouldn’t do anything that would be unfavorable to him.
But Lu Qingmei planted her own people in the Kaide Corporation and threw it into chaos!
After Fu Huai’an met up with Tang Xi, the whole Kaide Corporation was placed in jeopardy. Lu Qingmei couldn’t do anything to help, and Fu Cheng had to come back to salvage the situation.
Handing over the Kaide Corporation to someone like her would be worse than handing it over to Fu Huai’an.
“Qingquan, is this what you think of our son? A second-generation rich kid who just sits around all day? This is what you want him to become?” Lu Qingmei had a look of disbelief on her face.
“So far, Tianci really doesn’t seem to be able to manage a company! Qingmei… you’re the same! I don’t even dare to imagine what the Kaide Corporation’s future would be like if I handed it over to you two!”
Lu Qingmei stood up and looked at Fu Qingquan with reddened eyes. “So, you love your Kaide Corporation… more than our son?”
Fu Qingquan didn’t explain himself.
Secretary Song walked out of the washroom after washing his hands and said in a low voice from behind Lu Qingmei, “The chairman can’t be agitated right now…”
He was implying for Lu Qingmei to watch what she said!
Lu Qingmei turned back and glared at Secretary Song before grabbing her bag and leaving the room in her heels.
After watching Lu Qingmei leave, Secretary Song said, “Chairman, the board meeting is about to begin. I’ve already informed Director Wang, Director Hu, and Director Fang. If you don’t attend President Fu’s board meeting, then they won’t attend it either!”
Fu Qingquan nodded.
It was now clear that Fu Huai’an was going to stay in the Kaide Corporation. The news was everywhere now, and the Kaide Corporation should be able to stabilize.
Although Fu Qingquan had predicted this outcome, he still felt rather uncomfortable about the fact that the Kaide Corporation was now completely under Fu Huai’an’s control.
Fu Qingquan couldn’t change the current situation, but he could still make things difficult for Fu Huai’an.
…
Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan went upstairs. He kept her company the whole time, only quietly standing up and leaving once she was fast asleep.
Today was the day Fu Huai’an officially joined the board of directors. He saw that he wouldn’t be able to physically make it for the meeting, so he attended it as a director for the first time by video conference from the study.
Without Fu Huai’an by her side, Lin Nuan only slept briefly before waking up. The snow outside was lighter at that point.
She continued to lie under the warm sheets as she recalled what just happened. She felt like she had been in a trance and was just dreaming.
Lin Nuan’s throat felt dry, and she got up to go downstairs and get some water. When she saw Mu Taotao talking to You Nainai downstairs, she realized that the hair-raising events from earlier had really happened.
Auntie Li and Uncle Hu had already brought Tuan Tuan home. They were now outside building snowmen with the tiny child.
“Sister Nuan!” Mu Taotao greeted Lin Nuan while standing at the foot of the staircase. “Ms. Fang called you earlier. I helped to answer the call and told her that you had things to settle at home and that you were already home. You also have a few messages. I didn’t look at them, though…”
Lin Nuan smiled at Mu Taotao. She held onto the railing with one hand and was about to walk down the stairs when she heard the door to the study open. Little Lu walked out while carrying some documents and gently closed the door.
Upon meeting eyes with Lin Nuan, Little Lu smiled at her.
“Huai’an’s in the study?” Lin Nuan asked.
Little Lu nodded. “The meeting isn’t over yet!”
As Lin Nuan went downstairs with Little Lu, he told her what happened to Fu Tianci after he ended the call with her earlier that day, and he couldn’t help but find it funny.
“The driver said that Little Young Master Fu cried so much that the sleeves of his uniform became wet!” Little Lu walked down the stairs with Lin Nuan and smiled as he spoke. “Actually, Little Young Master Fu is still very innocent!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
It wasn’t hard to understand Fu Tianci. He was like a puddle of water—she could see right through him immediately.
Little Lu didn’t stay any longer, as he still had to take the documents to the company. He drove off after putting on his coat.
Lin Nuan had arrived home safely, so she let You Nainai go back to keep her kid company. She didn’t have to stay there and guard her all the time.
