Su Group, Headquarters.
Inside the top-floor conference room.
Dozens of senior executives and shareholders gradually took their seats.
When almost all the seats were filled...
"Colleagues! Since almost everyone is here, I now officially declare this meeting open."
At the head seat.
A middle-aged man with a round, plump figure and a beaming smile announced.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Many executives in the conference room turned to look at this man, whose figure resembled a plump balloon, entirely lacking any sharp edges, with strange expressions.
The seat he was occupying used to belong exclusively to Su Shengtian.
But now, it had been taken over by this middle-aged man named Wang Fugui.
As for the reason...
It was all because he was Wang Fugui, the son of Wang Defa.
He had now been appointed by Su Yan as the spokesperson to manage the company on her behalf.
And this opportunistic man immediately exercised his power to hold a meeting as soon as Su Yan left...
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is definitely trying to take advantage of Su Shengtian's downfall to benefit his Wang family."
"Do you even need to guess? It's obvious to anyone with eyes! Do you really think we're blind?"
"We're not blind, but the chairman's love-struck daughter certainly seems to be!"
"Yeah! She got pregnant by a nearly 60-year-old man and even angered her father into the hospital..."
"And she even shamelessly handed the company over to Wang Fugui, who is clearly just a fat leech trying to suck the company's resources for his own family?"
"Sigh, what kind of misfortune did the chairman have in his past life to give birth to such a love-struck, rebellious daughter who literally drove him into a coma?"
"......"
Listening to the hushed whispers among the executives below.
Wang Fugui's plump and round face was filled with a smug smile.
He knew many people in the company were dissatisfied with the Wang family, but so what?!
Who told his old man to be so impressive!
Even at his age, he could still charm Su Shengtian's graceful daughter and manipulate her at will.
In this regard, he truly admired his father to the core!
Now that the old man was down, Su Yan was the largest shareholder in the company, holding 10% of the shares.
Moreover, she was Su Shengtian's only daughter.
It was reasonable for her to step up and lead the company while her father was critically ill.
"Great, now the biggest obstacle is gone..."
"As long as they can firmly grasp this rare opportunity, then the Su Group… might soon be completely renamed to the Wang Group."
The more Wang Fugui thought about it, the more excited he became. His chubby face squinted into a slitted grin full of satisfaction.
Thinking back to when Su Yan first took charge...
They had already taken advantage of her to secure a large number of benefits for themselves.
Their ambitions grew larger and larger, even to the point of wanting to hollow out the Su Group to establish their Wang family's dominance.
But before they could fully realize their dream…
Su Shengtian suddenly pulled himself together after receiving the devastating news that his granddaughter had become a vegetative state.
After that, he even kicked Su Yan out of the house and unilaterally announced that he was severing their father-daughter relationship.
This almost scared the Wang family to the point of wetting their pants.
They thought that next...
Su Shengtian would aggressively come after them and eliminate all opposing forces.
But to their great surprise...
Days went by, yet Su Shengtian never took action against them. He even turned a blind eye to some of their little tricks in the company.
This gradually put the originally anxious Wang family members at ease.
At the same time, they finally figured out the whole situation and had an epiphany!!!
"Hmph! That old bastard keeps saying he wants to sever ties with Su Yan, but deep down, he just can't bear to let go of his daughter."
"He's just using this despicable tactic to try and force his daughter to leave my dad."
"Fortunately, my old man is capable and has a tight grip on Su Yan, which makes Su Shengtian hesitate to make a complete break with us."
"......."
After some discussion, they confirmed the reason why Su Shengtian dared not act against them…
Wang Fugui and the others completely let go of their worries and became increasingly brazen in their actions.
Sometimes, when they encountered Su Shengtian in the company, they even dared to look at him with smug expressions and puffed-out chests.
As long as Su Yan, the lovestruck fool, was around, Su Shengtian couldn't do anything to them...
…..
"If only Miss Su was here! With her authority and methods, there would be no place for these clowns."
"Absolutely! I still remember the days when I worked under Chairman Su..."
"Although the pressure was high, the company's development was always on track, and the future looked promising. Chairman Su evaluated you based on your abilities and contributions, which was very fair."
"Unlike now, where favoritism runs rampant. Sigh~~~"
"Exactly! Experienced employees who contributed to the company have been pushed to insignificant positions, while bootlickers have taken high-ranking roles. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"What a pity! Miss Su had such a promising future, how did she end up in a vegetative state? And now the old chairman... Sigh, is the great Su family really going to be completely taken over by outsiders?"
"Originally, with the development of the Beauty Pill, I thought it was only a matter of time before the Su family became a top-tier billion-dollar enterprise. Who would have thought things would turn out like this?"
"Speaking of which! I heard some rumors that Miss Su might have woken up?"
"Impossible, right? She was diagnosed as a vegetative patient! The chances of waking up are extremely low, almost nonexistent."
"I heard that Su Shengtian found a 'marriage fortune' son-in-law, and on their wedding night, he miraculously woke her up!"
"What the hell?! Are you serious? That's disgusting! Miss Su was already in a vegetative state, and that son-in-law still went through with it? What a beast!!!"
"If Miss Su is really awake, then the Wang family's good days are over. She is far more ruthless than the chairman and does not tolerate any corruption."
"Eh! You're being too optimistic. Even if Miss Su wakes up, she'll still need a long recovery period. By then, it'll be too late to turn things around~~"
"......"
Wang Fugui, who had been full of smugness, suddenly had an ugly expression on his face.
Right now, the only thing he feared... was Su Shengtian's rumored vegetative granddaughter.
If she got involved with the company, it would undoubtedly bring unforeseen changes and cut off the Wang family's path to power.
"Damn it! The chances of a vegetative patient waking up should be one in ten thousand!"
"How could that vegetative patient be so lucky? Could it be that 'marriage fortune' rituals aren't just superstitions? Did it really wake her up?"
Recalling the news from yesterday afternoon...
The message from his son, Wang Xiaofa, made Wang Fugui feel a deep sense of crisis.
This was also why, after Su Shengtian collapsed...
He hastily convened a corporate meeting, aiming to seize as many benefits from Su Group as possible while Su Qingge was still recovering.
Otherwise, once Su Qingge regained her strength, she would undoubtedly try to take back control of the company.
At that point, she might pose a great threat to the Wang family.
After all, none of them could be sure...
Whether that woman would be like Su Shengtian, hesitating to act because Su Yan was her aunt.
"Fortunately, as long as we get the full formula for the [Beauty Pill]..."
"Then even if we leave the Su Group in the future, our Wang family can still use this to rapidly rise and establish a new business empire."
Just thinking about the Beauty Pill made Wang Fugui's heart burn with excitement.
Back then, because of their greed, they secretly replaced a batch of medical equipment materials, which led to defects and put the Su Group on the brink of bankruptcy.
At the time, they all thought the company was finished.
Just when they were regretting that they wouldn't be able to leech off the Su family anymore...
Su Shengtian, out of nowhere... obtained a miraculous formula, allowing the Su Group to make an incredible comeback...
And now...
Everyone knew that the [Beauty Pill] was the key to the Su Group's rise and held immense commercial value.
As long as the Wang family could obtain it, they would thrive regardless of whether they remained in the Su Group or not.
To this end, he had even approached some of Su Group's shareholders, seeking their support.
Today.
The Wang family was determined to get the Beauty Pill, and not even the Gods could stop them.
Seeing that the time was about right.
Wang Fugui placed both hands on the conference table, struggling to move his obese body as he stood up to speak.
"Ahem..."
"Everyone, please settle down. I'm sure you are all aware that the chairman has fallen ill."
"I know that, like me, you all feel very saddened and concerned about this."
"But as the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the same applies to our company. For the sake of the company's continued smooth operation..."
"I have been entrusted by Miss Su Yan to temporarily manage the company on her behalf..."
"......"
Wang Fugui, smiling widely, spouted a bunch of formalities.
Everyone looked at his jiggling fat as he spoke, their expressions turning odd.
This guy...
His words sounded nice, but in reality, the one hoping the most for Su Shengtian to never recover was probably him.
But at this moment, no one stood up to oppose him. Even if they were displeased, they had no choice.
Because Su Shengtian's love-struck daughter held 10% of the shares.
In the currently leaderless Su Group, she was technically the most qualified to step up and lead the company through its crisis.
But instead, her brain seemed fried—she was busy romancing an old man and insisted on handing over the company to the old man's son for temporary management?!"
"As everyone knows, the sales of the Beauty Pill have always been in short supply."
"Otherwise, our market wouldn't just be limited to Magic City; it would be nationwide, or even global!!!"
"I believe that since the Beauty Pill is so effective, it should be used to benefit all of humanity."
"The previous strategy of artificial scarcity needs to be changed; we should focus on selling at lower prices but in higher volume."
"But with our current production capacity, we cannot handle such a large number of orders."
"That means we need to collaborate with other companies, such as my Wang family..."
"....."
Wang Fugui, speaking unhurriedly, finally revealed his true intention.
He wanted to use the guise of a partnership to openly obtain the company's most valuable formula.
"As everyone knows, my father is currently in a romantic relationship with the chairman's daughter, Miss Su Yan."
"They are deeply in love and will soon register their marriage. When that happens, Miss Su Yan will officially become my mother."
"The Wang family and the Su family are one; there is no distinction between us."
"Therefore, my Wang family promises to take on all of Su Group's orders, sparing the company any concerns or burdens..."
