"Since that's the case, I won't say much more."
Zhu Ge Yuheng finished reading Chu Yan's statement and said calmly, "Kuo Long, you'll issue a notice later to announce to the entire group and its subsidiaries that after our joint decision, we've elected Chu Yan as the new chairman of the Group."
"Understood, Yuheng."
Yuan Kuolong quickly nodded, then asked, "Since we've elected a new chairman, should we re-evaluate our respective duties and the new division of the group's equity?"
In fact, this was their true focus of concern.
They took great risks to help Chu Yan kill Chu Renxiong and supported Chu Yan in succeeding as the leader; how much benefit they would gain was critical!
Chu Yan had made many promises to them, and now, it was finally time to divide the benefits and secure advantages for themselves.
"There's no rush for that."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ge Yuheng rejected them outright and didn't give the four people present a chance to speak, "We'll discuss and decide on the issues of positions and duties after the elder brother's funeral. As for the division of equity, that will have to wait until Fei'er's news is confirmed."
At this point, Zhu Ge Yuheng paused, then looked around at the four of them, speaking each word deliberately, "Because according to the will elder brother made in advance, if something were to happen to him, all his assets would be inherited by Fei'er. These assets include his shares in the Group and all personal savings, properties, etc. under his name."
"What if something happens to Fei'er as well?" Wan Guoquan asked.
"In this respect, elder brother also considered. If something happens to Fei'er, half of his assets would go to Chu Yan, and the rest would be evenly split among the other shareholders and Su Dieche."
Zhu Ge Yuheng spoke again, then said, "When the day comes for the division of equity, I will bring the will to the meeting."
"Let's not mention the equity division for now. The immediate priority is to continue looking for Fei'er and properly organize the funeral and memorial service for the adoptive father!"
Chu Yan spoke. Judging from his words, he seemed uninterested in the equity division; in reality, he couldn't wait to devour all of Chu Renxiong's assets.
But he also knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
Now, he had successfully risen to the top, replacing Chu Renxiong as the chairman of the Chu Group.
Next, once the commotion from this incident settles, swallowing Chu Renxiong's assets would be a piece of cake!
Moreover, according to his plan, once the time was ripe, he also intended to eliminate Zhu Ge Yuheng and take complete control of the Chu Group!
"Alright!"
With Chu Yan's words, Tang Tianpeng, Wan Guoquan, and Yuan Kuolong all nodded in agreement, saying no more.
Subsequently, the meeting ended, and Yuan Kuolong immediately announced the decision: Chu Yan was elected as the new chairman of the Chu Group!
The announcement spread like wings, not only throughout the entire Chu Group's headquarters and various subsidiaries but also across South City, all of Binhai, and even Jiangdong Province!
Thus.
Chu Yan successfully ascended, replacing Chu Renxiong, becoming the new leader of South City in Binhai City!
After the meeting ended, Chu Yan finally set foot in Chu Renxiong's office for the first time as the new leader of the Group.
He had been waiting for this day for so long.
"I've endured hardships for many years, and finally, my long-cherished wish has come true; this day has arrived!"
Chu Yan poured himself a glass of red wine, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, swirling the expensive wine glass, overlooking the ant-like people of the South City below, filled with ambition.
Suddenly, his phone rang, it was Su Dieche calling.
"My little man, how does it feel to ascend to the throne?" On the other end of the call, Su Dieche teased, and Chu Yan could already imagine her enchanting and captivating allure.
"One word: exhilarating!" Chu Yan took a deep breath, "This feeling of finally turning the tables after being under someone else's roof is something ordinary people can never understand."
"And me? Do I count as someone who can share your joy?" Su Dieche asked, feigning a coquettish tone.
"Of course! You can not only share my joy, but you are also my treasure! Once the old man's funeral is over tomorrow, I can rightfully move into his villa, and then, everything he owned, I will inherit, including you! We can truly be together and aboveboard, I want you to be my virtuous wife, and bear children for me!" Chu Yan said with enthusiasm.
"Hehe, you're quite considerate~ Rest assured, I've prepared everything for tomorrow as per your instructions, ensuring that no flaws will be detected." Su Dieche replied with a charming smile.
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yan still felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart. After some thought, he took out a few more phones and started making calls.
...
In the chairman's office at the Han Group.
Han Shiliang, the general manager of the group, stood outside the desk with his head lowered, not daring to breathe loudly.
Sitting inside was his elder brother, Han Shilong!
It had been four days since the North City Pier warehouse incident occurred!
During these four days, Han Shiliang had tried every means to find traces of Han Lengxuan, but ultimately to no avail.
Moreover, the Gunfire Mercenary Group, which they had paid heavily to hire, also couldn't be contacted, as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving no traces.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Han Shiliang knew in his heart: something must have happened in the warehouse that day!
The group of subordinates under Mr. Scar, three top experts from the Tianyin Sect, and even the Gunfire Mercenary Group all failed to besiege Jiang Feng, ending up like they've vanished without a trace!
This made Han Shiliang feel immense fear in retrospect: Jiang Feng's strength completely exceeded his expectations, shattering his world view!
However, fortunately, Jiang Feng was also missing now, and Han Shiliang himself had plotted this event for so long, only to ultimately fail, which meant the entire scheme was botched!
Additionally, he had also lost his brother's beloved son, Han Lengxuan, making him even more apprehensive to face Han Shilong.
"Elder brother, I..."
"Shut up!" Han Shilong shouted angrily before Han Shiliang could finish his sentence.
Han Shiliang immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
Losing a son in old age is one of life's great sorrows. For three days, Han Shilong hadn't closed his eyes, his hair turning white, as if he had aged ten years.
If he had known this would happen, there's no way he would have supported his brother and son in taking revenge against Jiang Feng!
Unfortunately, there's no regret medicine to buy in this world, and his remorse was of no use!
"Do you know, I still haven't figured out how to explain to your sister-in-law? She always thought Xiao Xuan was just out playing and would return sooner or later, and now she's mentally broken, acting psychotically!" Han Shilong gritted, telling Han Shiliang.
Han Shiliang didn't dare to make a sound, trembling with fear and not daring to lift his head.
"That Jiang, who actually killed my son, fortunately, is now missing and presumably drowned. Otherwise, I would personally ensure he has no place to rest even in death!" Han Shilong's face was full of venom.
"Yes, yes!" Han Shiliang finally dared to respond, cautiously asking, "Elder brother, earlier Chu Yan called me, inviting us to attend Chu Renxiong's funeral. Should we go?"
Han Shilong furrowed his brow deeply!
Now, that ungrateful wolf that dragged him onto the pirate ship dared to contact him, asking him to witness such glory?
This was tantamount to rubbing salt into Han Shilong's wounds!
However, after a long silence, Han Shilong finally said hatefully, "Go! We mustn't let others make a laughingstock of the Han Family, and I also want to see Chu Renxiong's unpeaceful countenance personally!!"
