Fang Yu’an frowned and thought for a while before suddenly saying, “Then can Fourth Uncle still maintain his position in the company?”
“I don’t know.”
The next morning, all the shareholders received a call from the secretary in the CEO’s office. The secretary reminded them to rush back to the company to attend the board meeting as soon as possible.
However, today was not the time for a routine board meeting.
Why was there a board meeting today? All the directors were puzzled.
When they arrived at the meeting room and saw a handsome man sitting in the usually empty seat, they were stunned. Fang Yusheng was here. What was he doing here?
Everyone greeted Fang Yusheng politely.
Fang Yusheng greeted them one by one and asked his secretary to run and get coffee and tea. He handed them to the shareholders and waited for Fang Pingjun to arrive before the meeting officially started.
At the meeting, Fang Yusheng publicly criticized Fang Pingjun for Chen Qingyue’s rape and murder.
The Chen family’s parents had worked for the Fang Corporation for thirty years. For decades, they had been abiding by the law and respected it. They were old employees who had made deep contributions. Their only daughter had been bullied to death by the son of the Fang Corporation’s CEO. As the CEO of the Fang Corporation, Fang Pingjun had not reported the news. He had even protected the criminal and tried to send him overseas.
As a superior, he was irresponsible. As a citizen, he was guilty.
Fang Yusheng refused to admit him as a family member and criticized Fang Pingjun in front of all the shareholders. Then, he removed Fang Pingjun from his position as the CEO and demoted him to vice president.
Upon hearing this decision, the group of shareholders felt that it was inappropriate.
“Vice President Fang… It’s not appropriate to suddenly demote him right? Vice President Fang has been in charge of the company for so many years, and no one is more familiar with the company’s business and operations than him. Even if we want a change, he has to do a good job handing over the work. Mr. Fang, don’t you think so?” This was what all the shareholders were worried about.
They did not care who was in that position. They only cared who could bring them more benefits.
When Fang Pingjun heard this, he felt comforted.
No matter what, as long as someone was willing to speak up for him, he would not be too disappointed.
Fang Yusheng had already thought this through. Upon hearing this, he said, “The new CEO candidate has been chosen. He will arrive at the company this afternoon. Vice President Fang, please hand over your work to him in two weeks. In the next two weeks, help out with the new CEO’s work.”
Fang Pingjun did not expect Fang Yusheng to be so well-prepared. If he did not know that Fang Yusheng had no ulterior motives for the position of CEO, Fang Pingjun would have thought that he had already planned it and was waiting for this day to come. Upon hearing this, Fang Pingjun subconsciously asked Fang Yusheng, “Who?”
The businesses under the Fang Corporation were wide-ranging and had huge influence. Ordinary people were not qualified for this position.
Fang Yusheng looked up and swept his sharp eyes across everyone. When he saw the suspicion and uneasiness in their eyes, he smiled faintly and said, “Jerry Lawson.”
Jerry Lawson…
Upon hearing this name, everyone’s expressions changed slightly. It was not obvious, but it could not escape Fang Yusheng’s eyes.
“Is… is it Jerry from the Lawson family?” Jerry Lawson was the CEO of the Lawson family in the Asia-Pacific region. Could the Jerry Lawson that Fang Yusheng was talking about be the person they were thinking about? The Lawson family was much more powerful than the Fang family. Even if Jerry Lawson was only the CEO of the Asia-Pacific region, his personal strength could not be underestimated.
If he took over this position, it would indeed be better than Fang Pingjun…
After thinking this through, everyone looked at Fang Pingjun with less sympathy and kindness and became calm.
Fang Pingjun naturally understood their gazes and sighed in his heart. This was reality. People always looked at benefits. Whoever could bring them more benefits was their good friend.
Fang Yusheng was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.
He nodded and said in a calm tone, “That’s right. It’s Jerry from the Lawson family.”
“How did Mr. Fang invite Jerry over?”
The members of the Lawson family were born noble, and their gazes were arrogant.
How did Fang Yusheng hire Jerry?
“It’s like this,” Fang Yusheng explained. “Jerry Lawson and I used to be schoolmates. Everyone knows that Jerry Lawson graduated from MIT’s Sloan Business School. I also studied there for a period of time and was lucky to meet Jerry. Our relationship is not bad. In addition, I’m friends with Miss Clarice from the Lawson family. Jerry and Clarice are very close. I asked him and he agreed.”
After hearing Fang Yusheng’s explanation, everyone was relieved.
“That’s good.”
“If Mr. Jerry really comes, we have to hold a welcome party for him. Mr. Fang, how about tonight? We’ll hold a welcome party for Mr. Jerry at the Empire Hotel.” The previous CEO was sitting beside him, but everyone could not wait to discuss the welcome party for the new CEO. This was really embarrassing.
Although Fang Yusheng was dissatisfied with Fang Yukang’s attitude on average, he did not want to mock Fang Pingjun. Hence, his expression darkened. The people from the Countermeasure Department said, “It’s too late tonight. Let’s hold the welcome party tomorrow night. This matter will be planned by the Planning Department. Dismissed.”
Everyone stood up in twos and threes and left. When only Fang Yusheng and Fang Pingjun were left in the office, the secretary closed the door for them considerately.
Fang Pingjun looked up and stared straight at Fang Yusheng. After a moment, he shook his head and laughed. “Yusheng, you really didn’t give Uncle any face this time.”
Fang Yusheng did not smile this time. He looked at Fang Pingjun calmly, then pulled out the chair behind him and stood up. He suddenly bowed to Fang Pingjun, which shocked Fang Pingjun. Fang Pingjun scolded him loudly, “What are you doing?”
Fang Yusheng straightened his back and said, “Uncle, I’m sorry.”
“The entire country knows about Yukang’s matter. Now, the Fang Corporation’s image has been implicated by Fang Yukang. The Chen family’s two relatives are causing trouble downstairs of the company every day. The Internet is also filled with comments denouncing the Fang Corporation for bullying others. Under such circumstances, I have to give everyone an explanation and give the deceased an explanation.”
“After all, my ability is limited and I can’t do both. If I fulfill Yukang’s wish, who will save the Fang Corporation’s image and comfort the family members of the deceased?”
“Whether you say that I’m righteous or not, I admit that I’ve let you down, Uncle, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.” Fang Yusheng fell silent.
Fang Ping stared at the man in front of him who was even taller than him. His gaze was open and honest, and he had an imposing aura. They were both children of the Fang family, but he was indeed the most outstanding child in the Fang family’s generation. It was not right to say that. It should be said that he was the most outstanding person in the Fang family.
