The morning of the second day, in the Tianzheng Group Conference Room.
Every week, there would be a general company meeting. Currently, all of the Su Family's direct descendants were sitting around the conference room.
The meeting had not started yet, so everyone was chatting casually.
"Su Lianyi, I heard that your good-for-nothing husband that disappeared for five years has returned?"
A young man looked at Su Lianyi with a smile as he teased her.
He was Su Lianyi's cousin, Su Zheng.
Hearing Su Zheng's question, Su Lianyi frowned and said, "I think it has nothing to do with you whether he came back or not."
"Are you sure that it doesn't matter?" Su Zheng snorted.
"If it wasn't for the scandal that happened between you two back then, our Su Family would have become one of the first-rate families in the Yun Prefecture long ago. I'm definitely a member of the wealthy class now as well, do you really think that it has nothing to do with me?"
"You're going too far." Seeing Su Zheng bring up the matter again, Su Lianyi was extremely angry.
"This is only because you, Su Lianyi, have such a thick face. If it were any other woman, she would have lost her face in such a situation long ago. I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to give birth to a lowly fatherless brat!" Su Zheng was still unrelenting.
"Shut up!" Su Lianyi stood up abruptly. Her fierce gaze seemed to tear Su Zheng into pieces.
He could say whatever he wanted, but as long as it involved her daughter, Su Lianyi would definitely stand up and fight with her life on the line. This was her only weak spot, no one should be able to touch Jing.
Observing the dispute between the two, none of the other direct descendants of the Su Family stood up to defend Su Lianyi. All of them had expressions of schadenfreude.
"The old man is here."
Su Zheng was about to say something else when a series of firm footsteps came from the door. Su Zheng looked at Su Lianyi with disdain and snorted.
Old Master Su, who had a distinguished head full of silver hair, walked into the meeting room steadily and started the day's meeting.
The Su Family owned many companies, but Su Lianyi's Tianzheng Group was the best among them.
Even though the scandal five years ago had caused the decline of the Tianzheng Group, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.
Lu Yuan left suddenly five years ago, causing Su Lianyi's family to once again become the target of public criticism.
At that time, Su Lianyi's Tianzheng Group was used by the Su Family to make up for her family's losses, and it was forcefully taken from them, becoming the main headquarters of the Su Family clan assembly.
Therefore, every time she sat here for a meeting, Su Lianyi's heart would ache. She had built the company herself, but now it had become the family business.
However, no matter how unwilling she was in her heart, it had all become a foregone conclusion and could no longer be reversed.
Old Master Su was getting on in years, but his body could still be considered strong. Thus, he still didn't express an intention to abdicate and give up his position to the next head of the family.
At this moment, his entire body was emitting the aura of a patriarch. His gaze swept across everyone as he said,
"Last month, the news of the Xiao Family establishing a branch in the capital, spread, and I believe you all have some understanding of the situation. During this period, they have also been in the midst of preparation, so there has been no news of any cooperation."
"But just yesterday, I received the latest news, that the Qingyuan Group branch will officially open in the next few days. It is certain that countless noble families will rush to the front of the Qingyuan Group and seize the opportunity to cooperate."
"Our Su Family must also take a seat in this competition. This will be the key opportunity for us to become a first-class clan in Yun Prefecture."
After hearing Old Master Su's words, the members of the Su Family were full of enthusiasm.
Suddenly, someone asked, "Patriarch, if we manage to achieve a collaboration with the Qingyuan Group, I wonder what rewards the Patriarch will give us."
The old man immediately stood up and announced in a loud and clear voice, "If someone can realize a collaboration with the Qingyuan Group and help my Su Family ascend to the position of a first-rate clan in Yun Prefecture, then from now on, the position of the Tianzheng Group's chairman, will be his."
The moment Old Master Su said this, the other direct descendants were all dumbstruck. They never would have thought that Old Master Su would offer the Tianzheng Group as a reward in order to obtain his plan.
After all, under the current circumstances of the Su Family, the one who became the chairman of the Tianzheng Group would technically also become the patriarch of the Su Family.
Only Su Lianyi was frowning as pain filled her face.
The Tianzheng Group was all due to her effort in the first place, but now it was treated as a reward to encourage everyone!
Furthermore, with her current position in the Su Family, it is basically a pipe dream for her to be able to reach an agreement with the Qingyuan Group.
Su Zheng noticed Su Lianyi's expression and suddenly smiled sinisterly. He stood up and said, "Grandfather, I have a bit of confidence to share with you."
"Oh, really? Then tell me," Old Master Su was clearly intrigued by Su Zheng's words.
"To tell you the truth, grandfather, when the Qingyuan Group had newly settled at our Yun Prefecture, I had already started a series of preparations."
"It's just that the threshold for the Qingyuan Group is too high. Even though I've spent a lot of effort, I only managed to open the doors up a little. But I'm certain that I can still facilitate a cooperation." Su Zheng said confidently.
Old Master Su nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Not bad, you know how to get the upper hand, and you even got the initial results. Very good! After the meeting, you can apply for one million yuan as a reward."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Su Zheng was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"So in order to thoroughly reach an agreement on cooperation with the Qingyuan Group, I recently thought of a plan." Su Zheng continued.
"What plan?" Old Master Su asked.
"I can't complete this plan by myself, so I need someone else's help."
"As long as we can reach an agreement, no matter who it is, I will give them orders to assist you." Old Man Su declared.
"Grandfather, I want Su Lianyi to help me. The General Manager of Qingyuan Group, Zhao Chen, is currently single, and I have established a good relationship with President Zhao's secretary. I can take this opportunity to invite President Zhao out, then Su Lianyi can step in and take down President Zhao.
When Su Zheng said this, everyone's gaze immediately focused on Su Lianyi.
Su Lianyi slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily, "Su Zheng, don't even think about it. I'm already married, how can I do such a thing?"
The old man nodded thoughtfully.
"Beauty trap! Not bad, Su Zheng's move could work."
"Lianyi, I agree with Su Zheng's proposal. I heard that Zhao Chen is a decent man and will definitely not abandon you. So now, you will divorce that trash and marry Zhao Chen. Isn't that perfect?"
Su Lianyi clenched her fist and said with determination, "Grandpa, that plan is unacceptable. Since I'm already married to Lu Yuan, then I will only have Lu Yuan as my husband. I will never agree to such a thing!"
"Pah!"
Old Master Su slapped the table and flew into a rage: "If it wasn't for the ugly incident between you and that trash five years ago, your Su Family would have already advanced to become a first-rate family. Could it be that five years later, you still want to destroy your Su Family's future?"
Su Lianyi was not the least bit frightened by the old man's imposing manner and said resolutely, "Even if I, Su Lianyi, am expelled from the Su Family today, I don't think it's possible for me to agree to this matter."
"You, you ungrateful child…" Old Master Su was so angry with Su Lianyi that he couldn't even stand properly. He fell onto the seat while clutching his chest.
Everyone hurried over to fuss over the old man, while Su Lianyi watched on coldly with her fists clenched tightly. Even when her nails had sunk into her flesh, she did not loosen them.
Old Master Su was comforted for a while by the family members and then he finally said, "Su Lianyi, this is decided. Even if you don't go, I will find someone to carry you."
"What big words you have there! Today, I want to see who dares to force my wife to do something she's not willing to do!"
At this moment, an incomparably cold voice suddenly sounded out. Thereafter, a familiar figure appeared in the meeting room.
