Fang Yusheng had decisively rejected him, making Fang Pingjing furious.
No matter how Fang Pingjue mocked him, Fang Yusheng remained unmoved.
After Fang Pingjue finished scolding him, Fang Yusheng calmly said, “Let Little Uncle manage it.”
His tone was neither fast nor slow, but his words stunned everyone.
Fang Pingjun, who had a nonchalant expression, froze when he heard this.
Could I be involved like this?
Fang Pingjun revealed a rare look of astonishment. “No, what does this have to do with me?” Why did I have to be shot while lying down?
This is it.
Fang Pingjun and Fang Pingjue had gotten into a conflict a few years ago. When Fang Pingjue let Lisa down, the conflict had fully erupted. In a fit of anger, Fang Pingjun had left the Fang family and chosen to establish his own family. Fang Pingjun’s bold words when he had left the Fang family still echoed in Fang Pingjue’s ears.
“Fang Pingjue, just pretend that you don’t have a younger brother like me, and I don’t have a brother as embarrassing as you. Don’t use your status to suppress me! Do you really think I care about the Fang Corporation? Today, I swear that I will leave the Fang Corporation’s independent sect today and make a name for myself. If I come back and flatter you in the Fang Corporation in the future, I will write my name backward!”
Now, Fang Pingjun had his own entertainment empire with countless handsome men and beautiful women under his name.
Putting everything else aside, just with a glance at his work, one would find seeing a pool of handsome men and beautiful women better than seeing these ugly shareholders and higher-ups.
Now, Fang Pingjun only had 3% of the Fang Group’s shares that his father had given him. No matter what, it was not his turn to take up the position of CEO. Thinking of this, Fang Pingjun looked at Fang Yusheng with dissatisfaction.
He was having a good time and didn’t want to write his name backward.
Fang Yusheng was making things difficult for his uncle.
Fang Yusheng saw Fang Pingjun’s complicated gaze and pretended to not see it.
When Fang Pingjun saw his nephew ignoring his accusatory gaze, he snorted and sarcastically said, “I think Yusheng is being humble. Your IQ surpasses all of us. After all, among all of us, you are the only one who was accepted by MIT. You are so smart. You are the most suitable person to be the CEO.”
Fang Yusheng quickly said respectfully, “Business is not something that can be done with just a little cleverness. Furthermore, the Fang Corporation’s industrial chain is so big. It’s not an ordinary small company. If I, who doesn’t have any business sense, were to become its CEO, wouldn’t I be bringing the Fang Corporation to its doom?”
Fang Yusheng had a smile on his face as he complimented Fang Pingjun, “Who doesn’t know Little Uncle’s capabilities?
“You single-handedly created an entertainment empire. In terms of leadership ability, no one would dare to claim to be number one if you were ranked second here.” Fang Yusheng smiled as he looked at Fang Pingjun and concluded, “In my opinion, Little Uncle is the most capable. You are the most suitable to take over the Fang Corporation.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that in Yusheng’s heart, I’m so powerful.” Fang Pingjun looked at Fang Yusheng, who implied Fang Pingjun was more capable than Fang Pingjue. Fang Pingjue felt comfortable yet aggrieved.
Fang Yusheng was a good bootlicker.
All the shareholders listened to the uncle and nephew pair complimenting each other and giving up the position of CEO.
In the past, this position was very popular, but now, these two despised it.
It’s truly… lamentable.
When Fang Pingjue heard his son praising his younger brother and indirectly belittling him to the point of being useless, he couldn’t hold back.
He did not intend to give the Fang Corporation to his younger brother.
Would he just give up this position to him? He wasn’t stupid!
Fang Pingjue was about to say something when he heard Fang Pingjun lazily say, “Let’s change it to someone else. I won’t take on this mess.” To Fang Pingjue’s surprise, Fang Pingjun actually rejected Fang Yusheng.
Everyone was speechless.
The Fang Corporation was a huge corporation that operated a huge business in Binjiang City. These two were repeatedly rejecting something everyone wanted!
The group of directors and Fang Pingjue, who always thought that they were the shareholders of the Fang Corporation and felt proud of themselves, had ugly expressions on their faces.
Fang Pingjue was unwilling to hand over the Fang Corporation to his younger brother, but it was another matter if Fang Pingjun was unwilling to accept the position.
With an especially ugly expression, Fang Pingjue glanced at Fang Pingjun from the corner of his eyes. Fang Pingjue snorted and mocked him. “What? Is your surname not Fang?”
Seeing that Fang Pingjun was about to reject him again, Fang Pingjue hurriedly said in a disdainful tone, “Why open an entertainment company? A small fight won’t do you any good. You’re also a member of the Fang family. Back then, Father said that you were capable. I think it’s quite good for you to manage the Fang family.”
Since Fang Pingjue had spoken, all the shareholders immediately supported him. They all said…
“That’s right, that’s right. President Fang, you should do it. Everyone believes in your ability.”
“Do it for the sake of the Fang Corporation. President Fang has worked hard his entire life. Now that he’s sick, he should rest well.”
“President Fang, stop rejecting it. No one is more suitable than you.”
Listening to the directors’ fervent praises, Fang Pingjun did not know how to express his feelings.
He really did not want to work for others!
He was the CEO of his entertainment company, and he could earn his own money and spend it as he wished. How satisfying was that! If he came to the Fang Corporation, he would be just an employee working for the shareholders! Fang Pingjun suddenly regretted coming to this crappy shareholders’ meeting to watch a good show!
Look, I got myself into trouble!
However, no matter how unwilling Fang Pingjun was, he could not escape from this position.
Fang Corporation’s change this time shocked everyone. Who would have thought that Fang Yusheng, the successor that everyone thought highly of, would actually abandon the Fang Corporation and give the position of CEO to Fang Pingjun instead?
Some people secretly scolded Fang Yusheng for being a fool. Only Fang Yusheng knew what he would get by giving up this position. He would have a lot of time to spend with his wife and children. He could go wherever he wanted to travel. Anyway, he had his own business and the Fang Corporation’s annual shareholder dividend.
He was a lazy and rich scoundrel.
On top of that, he was a weapons design master who was highly regarded by various forces.
He would never have to worry about his days being tough.
Unless his brain had been eaten by a pig, he would never become the CEO of Fang Corporation.
Fang Yusheng happily returned home and told Qiao Jiusheng about this matter. Qiao Jiusheng’s reaction to all that was very calm. “Oh, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. Anyway, we don’t lack money.” It had to be said that if they were all family and shared similar characteristics.
Just like Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng had no aspirations. “Don’t worry, we’re good as long as we have enough for each other.” Qiao Jiusheng hugged Fang Yusheng and appeared very considerate.
Fang Yusheng was very touched. The aftermath of being touched was that he brought Qiao Jiusheng out to shop. When they returned home and he looked at the huge pile of shopping bags in the living room, his heart silently ached.
Qiao Jiusheng had to undergo frequent checkups during the third trimester of pregnancy. After breakfast, Fang Yusheng accompanied Qiao Jiusheng to do a prenatal checkup. The doctor did an ultrasound scan, then said that the fetuses’ positions were not right for the time being. If the position was still not right after eight months, Qiao Jiusheng would have to consider a C-section.
For Fang Yusheng, everything depended on the safety of Qiao Jiusheng and the other two. He agreed to the doctor’s suggestion without hesitation.
The couple had just finished their checkup when they received a call from Wei Shuyi. He invited them to eat.
As expected, Fang Yusheng agreed.
After leaving the hospital, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng went to the supermarket and bought some gifts. Then, they drove straight to Wei Shuyi’s house. When they were about to reach his house, Fang Yusheng’s phone rang. He picked it up and heard Qi Bufan’s voice.
“Young Master Fang, my mother passed away. I will only be back after a few more days.” Qi Bufan sounded exhausted. He probably hadn’t rested well for a few days.
Fang Yusheng frowned and softly said, “My condolences.”
“When you’re old, you have to leave.” Qi Bufan was indifferent to the life and death of the elderly.
“Do you need my help?” Fang Yusheng casually asked.
Qi Bufan did need his help. “Young Master Fang, I want to bring my daughter to Binjiang City and transfer her to the city’s No.1 Middle School for her studies. She’s in her second year of high school this year, and she’s not a local. Can you help me think of a way for her to transfer schools…”
Fang Yusheng agreed to his request.
“Leave it to me.”
“Thank you!” Qi Bufan sighed on the other end of the line. He had been so busy these past few days that he almost couldn’t tell the directions anymore. “Let’s talk about other things when I get here. Bye.”
Just when the call was about to end, Fang Yusheng suddenly said to Qi Bufan, “When you come back, take your daughter to live in the Cang Dragon unit.” Although Qi Bufan had not found a wife yet, his daughter was still an adult. She couldn’t possibly live with him in their house.
Upon hearing this, Qi Bufan was stunned at first, but then, he felt endless gratitude toward Fang Yusheng.
“Young Master, thank you very much.”
Qi Bufan decided that he would never criticize Fang Yusheng for being stingy again.
“No need.” Fang Yusheng ended the call.
Qiao Jiusheng sat in the back row. Although she could not hear what Qi Bufan had said, she had heard Fang Yusheng’s speech throughout. She remembered hearing the word “condolences” and asked, “Bufan’s mother passed away?”
“Yes, she was old. After dragging it out for a few years, she still left in the end.” Fang Yusheng continued, “Bufan wants to bring his daughter to Binjiang City to study.”
Upon hearing that, Qiao Jiusheng was delighted. She said, “That’s great! Which school are you planning to transfer to?”
“The No. 1 Middle School.”
“It’s the same school as Qingqing.” Qiao Jiusheng felt that this was quite good. Qingqing was still in her third year of high school, and Bufan’s daughter was in her second year. They two would give company to each other in the future. Ever since that incident, Qingqing did not have many friends. Qiao Jiusheng hoped that Bufan’s daughter could become good friends with Qingqing.
Fang Yusheng knew what Qiao Jiusheng was thinking, and he felt that this was a good thing.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. I’ll personally go to No.1 Middle School tomorrow to help her change schools.”
“Okay.”
This was the second time Fang Yusheng had gone to Wei Shuyi’s house.
The first time was on their wedding day when he came to this house to marry Qiao Jiusheng.
Wei Shuyi’s house was an ordinary apartment with two bedrooms, two living rooms, and a small study room. It was about 100 square meters in area.
Hearing a knock, Wei Shuyi ran to open the door. He was dressed in a loose black silk shirt, but he had donned a long pink Hello Kitty apron on top of it. His left hand held the doorknob and his right a spatula.
Seeing Wei Shuyi’s outfit, Fang Yusheng frowned.
Why would a man wear pink?
Wei Shuyi did not explain to him that the apron was a gift from the supermarket. He opened the door and said to them, “Come in! No need for slippers.”
As he spoke, he walked in and did not stand on ceremony with them. He asked them to pour their own tea. “Xiao Sheng, Mr. Fang, pour your own tea. Xiao Sheng, don’t drink too much tea. I have lemons here. Do you want two lemons?”
“Sure.”
Qiao Jiusheng followed Wei Shuyi to the kitchen’s refrigerator to get a lemon. Fang Yusheng poured himself a cup of tea and saw Wei Shuyi and Qiao Jiusheng standing together. They were cooking while talking, looking warm and romantic. He was a little jealous.
But what could he do? He didn’t know how to cook. His specialty was only making instant noodles.
However, it was not Fang Yusheng’s style to do nothing. He put down his teacup and went to the kitchen.
The originally spacious kitchen suddenly became crowded with two more people.
Wei Shuyi glanced at the tall and burly Fang Yusheng. Seeing that Fang Yusheng had nothing to do, Wei Shuyi passed him a bunch of Chinese chives. “Pick the vegetables.”
Fang Yusheng was speechless.
Am I not here as a guest?
Fang Yusheng obediently squatted on the ground and picked his chives. He heard Qiao Jiusheng talking to Wei Shuyi.
Wei Shuyi said, “The babies will be born in a few months. Are you nervous?”
Qiao Jiusheng replied, “It’s alright. I’ve already experienced the most painful thing. Why would I be afraid of having children?”
“You girls are really hard working. It’s very disadvantageous to give birth. After giving birth, you have to nourish yourself well. If you don’t, you’ll suffer in the future.”
“Foreign women don’t even have postpartum confinement. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. It’s nothing much.”
Hearing this, Wei Shuyi showed a look of disapproval. He said, “Don’t look down on our ancestors. It’s still necessary to go through confinement as long as it’s not as foolish as before. Science says that during confinement, you should rest as much as possible and exercise appropriately. It’s good for the health of pregnant women. You only see foreign women who don’t go through confinement, but why don’t you see that they age quickly?”
Qiao Jiusheng thought about it and realized that his words made sense. “You people who are experienced in medicine truly know more.”
As Fang Yusheng listened, he thought sourly: What’s the big deal about being in medicine?
He cursed in his heart. What a great doctor! Wei Shuyi is almost 29! Why is he still single?’
