Chapter 139 The Xu Family in Trouble
After the social gathering ended, I went home and found my dad sitting in the living room waiting for me.
"Wanwan's back." He said gently, waving to me. "It's been a long time since we, father and daughter, had a heart-to-heart talk. I have something to say to you today."
I paused slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over, sat down, and got straight to the point: "What does Dad want to say?"
He sighed softly, then asked me if I was still blaming him because of my mother.
I remained silent without answering, but my heart was not as calm as it appeared. After all, he was someone I had admired for decades. If it weren't for the absurdity of what he did, I wouldn't be so disappointed.
My dad glanced at me, placed his hand on my shoulder, and patted it gently. "I know you'll probably never forgive me because of Jia Hui, but no matter what, she's still your sister. Regardless of who you end up with, the company's shares will be split equally between the two of you. If you two can join forces..."
Hearing this, I couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly stood up. What was originally a rare moment of warmth now seemed utterly ridiculous to me.
He suddenly put on a loving fatherly act towards me, but it turns out he had ulterior motives. I almost believed him just now.
“I have no objection to Dad wanting her to join the company, as long as the company's shareholders agree. However, if this gets out, our family will become a complete laughing stock. No family would give such great power to an illegitimate daughter.”
After I finished speaking, I didn't want to argue with him, so I turned around and went upstairs.
I tossed and turned all night, and finally fell asleep just as dawn was breaking. But I was woken up early the next morning by my phone ringing. I answered the phone groggily and heard Su Jiayi on the other end tell me that something had happened to the Xu Group.
Upon hearing this news, I instantly sobered up and quickly asked what was going on. Su Jiayi told me on the phone that some residents of Chengdong had united to protest at the Xu Group.
I quickly hailed a taxi and arrived at the Xu family's company building. Sure enough, a large crowd had already gathered there. Some people were holding banners, while others were loudly protesting through megaphones. Fortunately, security guards were maintaining order.
I called Ge Zeyu to ask if he knew about this, and found out that he was upstairs. He told me to go to the company's underground parking garage and that he would have someone pick me up later.
I avoided the crowds and carefully made my way to the underground parking garage. Soon after, someone came to pick me up, and we took the direct elevator to the top floor.
Upon entering the office, I saw Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing looking worried. I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What's going on downstairs? Why is there such a commotion all of a sudden? What are these people protesting about?"
Ge Zeyu didn't say anything more, but took out his tablet and showed me a planning map. "This is the planning map that the Fu family put forward. This time they are playing an open trick. After the social gathering ended yesterday, the Fu family announced that people who own land in the east of the city can exchange half of the area for land in the west of the city."
"But they defined the scope, and the exchange was only allowed if everyone within that scope agreed to it."
Hearing this, I finally understood what was going on. In other words, two square meters of land in the east of the city could be exchanged for one square meter of land in the west of the city.
It doesn't sound like a good deal, but the western part of the city is currently under development, and once it's fully developed, land prices there will continue to rise.
Moreover, once a commercial district is formed, the future appreciation potential of the inherited land will be limitless.
To outsiders, the Fu family's actions appeared to be a way of benefiting the people. The residents in the eastern part of the city had long been restless, and everyone within the area united together.
Within the designated area, the largest piece of land at the very center is under Xu Qing's name. While it appears to belong to Xu Qing, it is actually jointly owned by Ge Zeyu and him.
No wonder all these people are blocking Xu Qing's building, trying to force him to sell the land.
The Fu family had previously tried to negotiate with Xu Qing, but the negotiations failed. Now they are resorting to underhanded tactics to coerce him.
"But why would the Fu family do this? They're businessmen, they can't possibly have a conscience!" The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and I couldn't help but ask my question.
Then I asked Ge Zeyu again to confirm, "Uncle Ge, have you really not received any news recently, such as the upcoming land development in the east of the city?"
Ge Zeyu shook his head at me.
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Even if Chang Xin was the second-in-command, if a document were to be issued, Uncle Ge, that bastard, would definitely be the first to know.
Besides the fact that it's very new, there's someone with a higher position than Uncle Ge who's been suppressing the documents.
The most important thing right now is to resolve the current predicament. So many people are protesting, which has already caused a great stir. It will not only affect the reputation of Xu's company, but also the law will not punish the masses.
It's impossible to arrest all the hundreds of people downstairs; the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for Xu Qing.
Just then, Xu Qing's phone rang. The person on the other end said something, and his expression became even more serious. "Grandpa, I was the one who proposed and was in charge of the business on the mainland. If my cousin takes over now, all my efforts over the past few months will be in vain."
After he finished speaking, he waited for instructions from the person on the other end of the phone. After a while, he said somewhat reluctantly, "I will think this over carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing could no longer contain her temper. She clenched her fists tightly, and after a few seconds, she slammed her phone onto the ground beside her.
With a bang, he slumped into the boss's chair, looking rather dejected. In all the time I've seen him, he's always been cold and composed; this is the first time I've seen him so agitated.
Ge Zeyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he had guessed something. "Your old man called? He wants your cousin to take over the business here?"
Xu Qing nodded slightly, then said, "I don't know what kind of agreement they reached in private, or what method they used to persuade my grandfather. The person is already on the plane and will arrive this afternoon. Ostensibly, he's here to help, but in reality, he's just a supervisor."
He sneered as he spoke, "Someone's come along to pick the peaches, but we'll see if I'm willing to let them."
Just as he finished speaking, his secretary rushed in from outside, shouting, "Mr. Xu, something terrible has happened! A fight has broken out downstairs!"
