Chapter 636: Snubbed!
"Have you heard? Our new chairwoman, Chu Feifei, returned to the group today and called a meeting with all the executives, announcing that she will start 'taking charge' from today! It's said that Vice Chairman Zhuge needs to alleviate the pain of losing his son, so she had no choice but to step in."
"Sigh, ever since our old chairman was murdered in North City, the group just regained stability and got back on track, so why has this kind of thing suddenly happened again?"
"Ha, do you guys think Vice Chairman Zhuge really needs time off due to his son's death? Or is it because he was heartbroken and didn't want to dedicate himself to the Chu Family anymore, so he found an excuse?"
"I think so too! Vice Chairman Zhuge was so diligent, and yet he ended up losing his son at an old age! It's said that it was because of Miss Fei'er's mistake that Young Master Yi was killed!"
"Young Master Yi was such a good person, young and talented, he had just earned a good reputation in our group, and then he was brutally murdered. There's a lot going on beneath the surface here; it's not out of the question that he was ambushed!"
"As for Miss Fei'er, she's undeniably beautiful, a rare beauty, and young people might play around, sing, dance, live stream, or be a goddess on campus, but suddenly coming back to lead the group, does she have that capability? Especially when Vice Chairman Zhuge abruptly handed over authority..."
"Who knows! It's not just us who have questions; I bet the executives in the group would also have doubts! Our Chu Family's aircraft carrier still needs a captain who can take on the heavy responsibilities..."
The discussions were among several mid- and low-level company employees, who were chatting while coming out of the elevator.
Suddenly, they saw Jiang Feng standing outside, alongside two extraordinarily beautiful women, and they were immediately dumbfounded!
"Mr. Jiang...Why are you here?"
The first employee who started the discussion turned pale and nervously looked at Jiang Feng.
Everyone knew Jiang Feng's status in the group. He has no title or authority, but once he speaks, no one in the entire group dares to go against him!
"What nonsense were you guys just spouting?"
Jiang Feng did not speak, but Feng Yueji coldly asked instead.
Boom!!!
Those employees who made the reckless comments immediately felt their legs turn jelly from fear!
Feng Yueji was truly the West City Queen. Her control over the Fengyu Group was almost as significant as the Chu Family's, and her presence and actions were no less than when Chu Renxiong was alive!
"Cha...Chairman Feng, we were just talking nonsense... There have been rumors all over the company since this morning, and we were just repeating what we heard casually, it's really not our business..."
Another employee who recognized Feng Yueji said bitterly.
"Heard casually?"
Feng Yueji's expression remained unfathomably cold: "So it seems, instead of bringing everyone together, Feier's passionate return to take charge has caused trouble for the Chu Family?"
Before the frightened employees could respond, Jiang Feng had already stridden into the elevator!
...
At this moment, as Feng Yueji had anticipated, in the meeting room at the top of the group, on Chu Feifei's first day of "taking charge," instead of receiving flowers and applause, she faced various cold receptions!
The reasons were similar to what the lower-level employees had discussed earlier. Some shareholders believed that Chu Feifei was too inexperienced to handle major responsibilities.
Some believed that because of Zhu Ge Yuheng's grievance over his son's death, he had developed tensions with the Chu Family and was unwilling to continue to support the Chu Family.
Moreover, a conspiracy theory was spreading within the group—Was Zhuge Yi's death related to Chu Feifei?
It was all too strange how Zhuge Yi died, and Zhu Ge Yuheng did not mention a word about the cause.
However, there were still rumors that Zhuge Yi was indirectly killed by Chu Feifei!
Could it be that Chu Feifei, seeing Zhuge Yi winning people over within the group, became jealous and deliberately had him killed?
This was reflected in Zhu Ge Yuheng's silence after the fact—after his own son died, he dared not publicize it, and even the operations department was not notified before he quickly cremated and buried his son to privately mourn.
And on the second day after Zhuge Yi's burial, Zhu Ge Yuheng "called in sick" and didn't come to the group.
In that moment, Chu Feifei was "impatient" to take charge; how could this not raise suspicions?
Once things are connected, it's easy to let one's imagination run wild.
And it's well known that it wouldn't be hard for Chu Feifei to achieve all this.
She has the Regent King Jiang Feng by her side!
With Jiang Feng's strength, he could easily orchestrate all of this!
People's ambitions can swell; though Jiang Feng was once the Chu Family's benefactor, over time, his desire to overthrow the Chu Family is not impossible!
Thus, at this moment, Chu Feifei sitting in the chairperson's seat felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Thinking of the confident promise she made to Jiang Feng in the morning, now faced with such a dilemma, she felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Even the speech she prepared in the morning had no chance of being delivered!
The ambition she had imagined was harshly slapped by reality!
"Miss Fei'er, what makes you think you currently have the capability to take over everything in the group?"
A woman in her forties, a female director, made things difficult for Chu Feifei once more, asking her pointedly.
She used "Miss" instead of "Chairwoman," indicating that in the hearts of those present, Chu Feifei did not command respect.
"You aren't even familiar with the basic operations of the group; how can you lead our Chu Family to better development?"
This woman is the company's financial director, Xu Xiaohong. She originally wasn't one of the Chu Family's people on this battleship, but due to her outstanding ability, Chu Renxiong hired her with a high salary and entrusted her with important responsibilities.
She did not partake in the Chu Family's gray business, but within the legitimate internal workings of the group, she has significant influence.
"President Xu, I'm not unfamiliar with the group's operations, Uncle Zhuge has told me about them, I just haven't practically participated. Now I want to learn while going hand in hand with everyone, advancing together. Is there anything wrong with that?" Chu Feifei retorted.
"Sorry, Miss Chu, a group is not a place for learning! If every intern had your mindset, to simultaneously intern and work at the group, what would the group become?" Xu Xiaohong said bluntly.
"I..."
"Moreover, you mentioned Vice Chairman Zhuge. I would like to ask, was it at your behest that he suddenly didn't come to work? Is there a rift between you two, and is Young Master Yi's death related to you?"
Xu Xiaohong, hitting the nail on the head, finally asked the question that everyone in the group wanted to ask!
