Chapter 542 Gong Chen is dead
After Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao reached a consensus, all conversations went smoothly.
The end is near.
Yang Jingwei deliberately said, "Ruoshu, accompany the Fourth Master to stroll around Beijing tomorrow."
Bai Ruoshu hummed: "It just so happens that I also have some places I want to go. I wonder if the Fourth Master will give me the honor."
Without waiting for Gong Yao to speak, Fu Xiuzhu pretended to speak casually.
"There will be a meeting at Gongyao Company tomorrow, and the old man will also go. He will be busy recently, so we may have to reschedule it for another day."
"Work is important." Yang Jingwei smiled, understanding the hidden meaning in her words.
Now that the old man has shown up, it seems like things are really going to change for the Gong family.
Thinking of this, Yang Jingwei looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fu Xiuzhu glanced at the servants in the hall, and they immediately retreated and closed the door.
"Mrs. Bai, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I wonder if Madam has heard of the name Lin Zhiyi." Yang Jingwei asked.
Fu Xiuzhu pretended to hesitate: "I'm not familiar with her, but I know she is the second master's stepdaughter."
She didn’t reveal much.
Hearing the familiar name, Gong Yao raised his eyes slightly, waiting for Yang Jingwei to continue.
Yang Jingwei said slowly: "Her mother Liu He is already pregnant. The Second Master is now the Vice President of Gong Corporation..."
Bai Ruoshu interrupted and said, "Mom, the Second Master is not someone who can't figure things out."
Yang Jingwei blurted out: "What about Liu He? What about Lin Zhiyi? Can they be willing to let the Third Master get into trouble?"
"Mrs. Bai, please watch your words." Fu Xiuzhu frowned.
Yang Jingwei covered her lips and said, "Sorry, I said something wrong. We won't bother you anymore."
"Madam, Fourth Master, goodbye."
Bai Ruoshu stood up, nodded slightly, and followed Yang Jingwei away.
Fu Xiuzhu retracted her gaze and said coldly, "This Mrs. Bai has hidden a lot of things. What do you think of what she said?"
Gong Yao said in a deep voice: "She seems to have a grudge against the second wife and her daughter. She said so much just to get us to get rid of the second wife and her daughter. Liu He is just a fool, I don't want to cause trouble."
"That being said, we have to be careful about the baby in her belly. The eldest brother passed away, Gong Yan was driven out of the country, Liu He was originally difficult to conceive, and the second branch has no descendants. We only need to get rid of the third master. Now her child is the eldest grandson of the Gong family."
"I don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl." Gong Yao retorted.
Fu Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, staring at Gong Yao with cold eyes.
"If it weren't for that old woman trying to save face and snatch Gong Chen away, your father would have promised me to bring you back to the Gong family after you were born. You would be the third master of the Gong family, and there would be no Gong Chen! Why did we have to hide our identities for decades abroad? Are you trying to tell me that you've softened your heart? Because of Lin Zhiyi? What a vixen!"
"mom……"
Fu Xiuzhu stood up and glanced at her: "You can have her, but don't ruin your father's plan! And don't let your father know!"
"Ah."
Gong Yao's mind flashed with Lin Zhiyi's face, and the corners of his lips curled up.
"Go back and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. There must be no mistakes." Fu Xiuzhu warned.
"Mom, don't worry. Gong Chen is in our hands, and so are the witnesses. He can't turn over at all."
Hearing this, Fu Xiuzhu looked upstairs and felt relieved.
……
The next day, the Gong family held a meeting.
The driver's revenge on society because of cancer and hatred of the rich became a hot topic.
Everyone is cursing a dead person.
There are also some sensible analyses in the comments.
"The driver hates the rich, why is this adopted son the only one who is safe and sound?"
"Even if San Ye risked his life to save him, there was San Ye's assistant in the car. Three of them can't beat a terminally ill cancer patient?"
But these questions were either deleted or drowned out.
The people behind the scenes control the direction of all public opinion.
And Gong Yao was perfectly invisible.
He even entered the internal meeting of the Gong family as Mr. Gong's adopted son.
The huge conference room, with its long mahogany table and high-back chairs, is low-key and luxurious, yet exudes a sense of solemnity.
The person sitting in the front seat in the past was Gong Chen.
Now that the room was empty, all the Gong family members in the hall were greeting each other in low voices, each with their own thoughts.
Seeing the old man and his men coming in, everyone stood up.
"All sit down."
The old man took Gong Yao and sat in the position second only to Gong Chen.
After Gong Chen and Sang Ran got married, the old man kept his promise and let Gong Chen take back his mother's inheritance.
In the entire Gong family, the old man is wary of him.
If it weren't for the father-son bloodline and other relatives' competition.
Gong Chen had already completely taken control of the Gong family.
Therefore, even if Gong Chen was not there, according to company rules, the old man could not sit in the first seat.
The old man glanced at the position representing power and said solemnly: "As a father, I am very sad about Gong Chen's accident, but the Gong family is a big family with a great business, and it must not be without a leader."
The elder who was on Gong Chen's side immediately responded.
"The only capable person in the Gong family now is the second son, Shi Yan."
"Shi Yan has performed well over the years. He knows a lot about the cooperation between the third brother and it won't be difficult for him to take over."
"When the third brother comes back, he can get started quickly."
The last sentence made the entire conference room fall silent.
The old man said coldly: "Do you think the third brother can come back? Do you want us to wait for him?"
They don't talk.
As soon as I heard what the old man said, I knew that Bai Chen would probably not be able to come back.
Gong Shiyan's face turned pale as he retorted, "How can they not come back if there's no body? If you hadn't suddenly withdrawn so many search and rescue teams, how could you not have found the third brother?"
The old man gave Gong Shiyan a sidelong glance.
"How can you accomplish anything if you act on impulse like this? I'm afraid you've been so bewitched by the gentle world that you've lost your mind!"
"The third brother is my younger brother! Why can't I act on impulse?" Gong Shiyan said angrily.
Seeing him so furious, the old man was particularly cold.
"Is this what you call being able to take on big responsibilities?"
Everyone remained silent.
Gong Shiyan was enraged by the old man's ruthlessness and he struggled to stand up.
Just as he was about to rush out, his arms were held down by the old man's bodyguards.
His assistant tried to step forward but was also blocked.
The old man looked at Gong Shiyan with dissatisfaction: "How can the company be handed over to you without rules?"
Gong Shiyan was stunned and realized that there was something else behind his words.
"What do you mean?"
"Gong Chen is dead. I have decided to let Gong Yao take over the position of president temporarily." The old man stood up and announced.
"The third brother is not dead! Gong Yao is not qualified to replace him!" Gong Shiyan objected.
The old man was not surprised by what he said, and said in a cold voice: "I said it's temporary. As for the future, it depends on Gong Yao's performance. We will make the decision then."
Having said that, once Gong Yao sits in this position.
The old man will definitely pave the way for him.
Besides, everyone knows the true identities of Gong Yao and the old man.
At that time, we only need to announce that Gong Yao is the old man’s biological son, and the position of president will definitely belong to him.
Gong Shiyan looked at the old man and trembled with anger.
Even a fool could see that every step of Gong Yao's return to China was planned in advance.
"The third one is your son! He is my biological child! You can't do this to him!"
The old man raised his head and said faintly, "You are right, he is my son, and his biggest mistake is to commit a crime against his superiors."
"..."
Gong Shiyan looked at him in despair.
I recalled what my eldest brother said when he decided to fake his death and give up everything.
"Second brother, I'm sorry, I've had enough. A dog will always eat shit. He can't change, not in this lifetime."
The old man no longer paid attention to Gong Shiyan and glanced at everyone.
"Who else objects?"
Everyone looked at each other.
At this point, power is back in the hands of the old man.
He pointed at Gong Yao and then at Gong Chen's position.
"Sit on it and do your job well."
"Yes, Dad."
Gong Yao touched the high seat armrest and was about to sit down when a voice came from the door.
"I object!"
