The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 20 Mentor of the Times 19
"Old Chu is fine. He can be a normal director in a week at most. Yes, yes, the company is troublesome for you during this period. Chu Yao is still young and doesn't understand many things. He needs seniors like you to give him some encouragement. People..."
When she hung up the phone, the smile on Xue Lu's face froze.
She quickly removed her smile and cursed inwardly: "They are all old foxes who want to take advantage of an opportunity!"
Just after venting his words, the phone in his hand rang again, it was another shareholder of Shengming Group.
Xue Lu had no choice but to smile again and answer the phone: "It turns out to be Director Li. What are you..."
In this way, starting from the hospital and on the way home from the hospital, there were almost endless similar calls and text messages.
In the past few days, as Chu Tiancheng was admitted to the hospital, Xue Lu was bombarded with a lot of information.
The scandal that broke out in the Chu family seriously affected the reputation of Shengming. However, Chu Tiancheng, who had the decision-making power, finally managed to save it. He has not been moved out of the intensive care unit and is temporarily unable to serve as director. This also caused Shengming to miss the best time to resolve the crisis.
His collapse also made people have to think about a question.
——Brothers fighting over their wives is enough to make people lose their favor. The chairman who has made Shengming Group bigger and stronger has frequently fainted and been hospitalized. It seems that his health is not good. Even if he recovers this time, how many years can he last? So in the future, will the reputation be handed over to the eldest son who has been severely brainwashed by PUA since he was a child, has never been exposed to finance, and is not good at it himself, or will he be handed over to the second son who is a scumbag?
With these two unreliable candidates in front of us, one cannot help but wonder: Does Shengming Group really have a future?
The messy scandals, the incompetent leader, and the unreliable successor are enough to make many people look down on the company's prospects, and also make the famous stock price start to fluctuate.
Even shareholders couldn't help but have other ideas.
Chu Tiancheng could still control them when he was there, but he fell. The power vacuum left behind is like a golden apple that attracts everyone with the slightest ambition. If there is an opportunity to become a famous actual decision-maker and control a huge group, who would be willing to just be a shareholder who receives dividends?
——In this case, even if the stock price of Shengming has fallen, the value of Su Ying’s shares has not decreased but increased. The 15% share he inherited from his biological mother was enough to become the final bargaining chip in the battle for famous managers. These days, he has received countless offers from shareholders.
When the internal situation is about to stir up, the external environment is also unstable. Business competitors are taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and they use the idiom of "adding insult to injury" very carefully.
The situation was so complicated, it was no wonder that Xue Lu was exhausted mentally and physically, looking like she had worked overtime for three days and nights.
She was not proficient in business. Apart from visiting Chu Tiancheng in the hospital every day and praying for his speedy recovery, she could only hope that her son, who was currently taking over her husband's place in the company, would be a genius in business and turn the tide during the storm.
But unfortunately, this is not the case.
On the contrary, she has to find ways to win over shareholders for her son and deal with those who test her husband's physical condition in a roundabout way.
For a time, Xue Lu was extremely busy.
After handling the last call, Xue Lu had returned to the door of her villa. She pushed open the door and walked in with exhaustion. The house was dim and without any light.
It looked like she had walked into a monster's gaping mouth.
"Why is it so dark today?"
Xue Lu leaned against the wall and was about to turn on the light when she suddenly saw what seemed to be a human-shaped black shadow not far ahead.
In the thick darkness, the black shadow moved slightly, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her, giving her an extremely dangerous feeling of being locked by a large beast. ! ! !
For a moment, Xue Lu's scalp went numb. It was like a cluster of electric currents rising from the back, running along the spine to the top of the head.
Her whole body froze in place, not daring to move.
Is he a thief? Or...a more dangerous robber? How did he break in? How long have you been in the villa?
Bang bang bang bang. Xue Lu heard her heart beating rapidly uncontrollably. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but she didn't dare.
The figure in the darkness just stared straight at her, and the sticky danger wrapped around her as if it had turned into substance. During the brief confrontation, the man finally spoke:
"The car accident twenty-two years ago was not simple, was it?"
The voice was hoarse, dark, and sinister.
"Have you forgotten the real cause of Bai Wei's death?"
Xue Lu's pupils were shocked, and she took several steps back.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." After a moment of gaffe, she categorically denied, "Who are you?"
Whoosh——
The black shadow suddenly approached her quickly, and there was a faint sound of something sliding quickly on the ground. In her sight, there was only a twisted shadow approaching quickly, like a poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out of the darkness and rushed towards her face.
Danger, danger, danger!
The approaching dangerous aura made Xue Lu stiffen.
Snap.
It seemed like someone snapped their fingers.
All the lights in the room turned on in an instant. The dazzling light made Xue Lu couldn't help but squint her eyes. After she got used to it, she realized that a familiar figure was right in front of her.
The distance between the two was very close.
"Hey~" The young man in the wheelchair still kept snapping his fingers, but just stretched out his fingers and waved to her with a smile, "Good evening! Welcome home!"
Xue Lu: "???" Do you have any serious illness?
Later, she recalled that the strange sliding sound just now was actually the sound of the wheelchair sliding rapidly on the ground.
Looking around, Xue Lu realized that all the curtains had been pulled down, blocking the entire living room from air.
Her head was full of questions: "What are you doing?"
Su Ying replied in the same tone: "Am I welcoming you home?"
"..." I'm afraid you don't want to send me to the hospital again.
"How's it going? Such a unique welcome ceremony must be impressive, right?" Su Ying looked at her with bright eyes, "Did it help you recall the details that were missed in the car accident twenty-two years ago?"
Only then did Xue Lu see his eyes, excited, curious, and full of expectation, as if he wanted to reveal the deepest secret of her soul.
For a moment, she almost thought that this familiar body was filled with some inhuman monster.
Putting aside the momentary illusion, Xue Lu slowly calmed down her breathing on the spot: "...I have always been sorry for that accident. But people cannot be resurrected, and you are messing around with things that happened so many years ago... That's enough. !”
After saying that, she stood upright slowly while holding on to the wall, walked around Su Ying and headed towards the stairs, looking tired: "Haven't there been enough things recently? Just stop doing it. I'm really tired today. , go upstairs to rest first."
"Eh? Is that so?"
Behind her, a young man's voice suddenly sounded: "But today someone told me that the car accident was not simple. They also said that the cause of my mother's death, Aunt Xue, you know very well."
Su Ying talked nonsense casually.
Xue Lu believed it.
She paused, then turned around, with only the anger of being slandered on her face: "Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble behind your back?!"
Su Ying gently blinked his left eye: "Anyway, you haven't seen it~"
"In that case, what else did that person say? What evidence does he have?" Xue Lu seemed unwilling to give up.
"No. He said he could only tell me so much for the time being, but you know all the answers clearly, Aunt Xue." Su Ying shook his head regretfully, and then he looked at Xue Lu without blinking, "——So you can tell The answer to my question?"
"Does my mother's death have anything to do with you?"
His piercing eyes did not hide any pretense, and were so frank that people couldn't help but want to avoid him.
"of course not--"
Xue Lu suddenly clenched her fists and her nails dug into her palms.
"...I know that you have misunderstandings about me and your father now, and resentment towards this family. I admit that I did not do enough in the past. Who can completely separate a bowl of water between a biological son and a stepson? Duanping?”
She sighed.
"——But the car accident that year was a complete accident! Your father and I had never known each other before. How could I, an ordinary person, have the guts to do something that hurts people and kills them! Don't believe those false rumors outside! "
As she spoke, she came to Su Ying's wheelchair. She half-bent down and looked into Su Ying's eyes. Her tone revealed unprecedented sincerity: "You have also seen the situation at home now. Isn't that enough for you to calm down? Do you know how many people want to make trouble for our family if we just listen to outsiders' words? Think about it carefully, the whole family will be prosperous, and if something happens to your family, it will not be the same for you. It’s no good.”
"Yeah, yeah, I understand." Su Ying nodded repeatedly.
Xue Lu suddenly smiled, feeling a little relieved.
"So, does the car accident that year have anything to do with you?"
Xue Lu:? ? ? ? ? ?
