Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 544
Chapter 544 Lanceli Becomes Heir Apparent
Lan Kaida was a bit surprised when he received the notification. Grandpa was still in the hospital, who had the authority to convene the board of directors?
Equally surprised were Lan Xiuming and the other executives. These days, there was no peace in the company, and the internal fighting had reached a white-hot level, with almost all of them judging the situation and choosing their new masters. To waver or hesitate was to risk becoming a victim of the fight.
Lan Kaida and Lan Xiuming were seated on either side of the podium, while the others chose their masters to sit, and the number of people on each side was evenly matched.
Everyone was guessing who would be presiding over the meeting when the door opened and Gu Nianbin walked in first, followed by Lan Zufeng’s personal attorney, Lawyer Wen, and Lan Kaili.
Lan Kaida stood up first and glared at Gu Nianbin, “What are you doing here?”
Lawyer Wen wore a smile and was not overbearing, “Second young master, Mr. Gu Nianbin was entrusted by Elder Master Lan to preside over today’s meeting, this is a power of attorney from Elder Master Lan’s own handwriting, so you can take a look at it.”
Lawyer Wen has been with Lan Zufeng for decades, and is one of Lan Zufeng’s most trusted people, and his words, of course, are not suspected of being false. Lan Kaida took the power of attorney and scanned it, it was indeed Lan Zufeng’s handwriting.
Gu Nianbin sat down, and Lawyer Wen and Lan Kaili sat on his side and back respectively.
To the people of Fushen Corporation, the man seated in the chairman’s seat had a face and demeanor they were familiar with, his drive and talent were convincing, he had the demeanor of a leader, and he was someone they could trust and look up to.
Even now that he knew he wasn’t the real Lan Kaizer, he still subconsciously had a respectful attitude and didn’t dare to show half a bit of disrespect for him.
Gu Nianbin coldly scanned the circle, lingering on Lan Kaida’s and Lan Xiuming’s faces respectively before slowly speaking, “As you all know, I’m not Lan Kaiser, my name is Gu Nianbin, and I’ve been entrusted by Old Master Lan to preside over today’s meeting. I’m honored that the old dowager knows that I’m not Lan Kaize and still trusts me like this because he feels that I’m someone who can do things, someone who can help him.” He took a document from Lawyer Wen’s hand and raised it, “I used to be the Executive Vice President of Fulcrum, and now, the Acting President of Fulcrum. This is Elder Master Lan’s letter of appointment, and during the time his old man is recovering his health, the company will be fully managed by me on his behalf.” He tossed the document onto the table, “Anyone who doesn’t believe me can take it to be verified.”
The words just fell, the blue Kaida will be that appointment letter grasped in the hands of the fine look, black and white, at a glance, but he did not believe, grandfather why believe an outsider, do not believe him?
“I don’t agree,” he clapped his hands together, so agitated that the veins on his forehead popped out, “I’m going to find Grandpa and ask him to his face.”
“Second young master, I drafted this appointment letter, I was there the whole time and can testify.” Lawyer Wen looked at him with a smile.
Lan Kaida, however, laughed coldly, “Lawyer Wen, you’ve also been bribed by Gu Nianbin, haven’t you? Taking advantage of the fact that grandpa is sick and confused, he took the opportunity to partner with outsiders to try to take over our Lan family’s property, I’m going to sue you.”
Lawyer Wen still smiled, “Second young master, the old master knows that you won’t stop, so he has a few words for me to bring to you alone, let’s talk outside.”
Lan Kaida grunted and followed Lawyer Wen out the door, curious to hear what his grandfather had to tell him alone!
When he reached the outside, Lawyer Wen didn’t say anything, but just pulled an envelope out of his pocket and gave it to him, “Second Young Master, you should look at this first.”
Lan Kaida opened it suspiciously, drew out the contents and glanced at them, his face changed drastically, half speechless.
“Second young master, the old master wants me to tell you, to want people to know, unless it has not been done. He could hand over the things, but remembering that you are still young and have gone astray for a moment, he wants to give you a chance to reform, and as long as you work honestly and behave well in the future, he can keep the secret for you, and the old master also said he hoped that you would be good to yourself, and would not become as irredeemable as your great-uncle, but rather become like your father, a kind, humble, and friendly man.”
Lan Kaida clutched the envelope tightly, his expression changed and changed, anger, despair, frustration … In the end, he hung his head powerlessly, “I’ll listen to grandpa.”
“Good, then let’s go inside and continue the meeting.” Lawyer Wen patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “The second young master is so sensible, the old master must be very pleased when he knows.”
When they went in, Gu Nianbin was introducing Lan Kai Li, “The third young master of the Lan family, everyone should know him, now I’m appointing him as the executive vice president of Fushen, I’ll take control of the company’s decision-making in the future, and the specific matters will be operated by Mr. Lan Kai Li.”
Hearing this, Lan Kaida finally understood Lan Zufeng’s intentions, his aim was to get Gu Nianbin to bring Lan Kaili up to the throne, so that Lan Kaili could become the heir of Fushen and unify the Lan family’s industry.
Lan Xiuming of course also saw it, since this was the case, what was there to fight for? Although there was some reluctance, it was better for his son to be the heir than for the family fortune to fall into Lan Kaida’s hands.
After Gu Nianbin’s introduction, it was the new vice president of Lan Kai Li who spoke, he only said two polite introductory remarks, and then talked about specific matters, although he did not work in the company for a day, but talked about the operation of the company, as well as the situation of the various departments is also head to head. At this meeting, he took a bold step to streamline the department, carried out management staff mobilization, Lan Kaida and Lan Xiuming are among them, and promoted some really capable people.
Lan Kaili wasn’t very old and didn’t look mature, but once he got serious, he had an aura that people couldn’t underestimate. Even Lan Xiuming was a bit surprised, as if it was the first time he truly knew his son.
Over the past few days, Fushen’s internal storm clouds change, fighting, everyone is afraid of anxiety, fear of fire, but also afraid of standing on the wrong team. This time the board of directors, Gu Nianbin strong return, blue Keli new momentum, a drum clean up and reorganization, the blue Kaida and blue Xiuming out of the mess of the problem of a sweep, we do not need to review the situation, step by step to resume normal work.
Half a month later, Lan Zufeng was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, accompanied by not only Mrs. Gui but also Lu Xiaoxian. Often, Mrs. Gui took care of him while Lu Xiaoxian walked and chatted with him in the woods. She was not a good talker, but she could always bring a faint smile to the old man’s face.
Gu Nianbin, Lan Kai Li, Lan Kai Da and Lan Xiu Ming work together in the company, get along well, they sometimes Hou will also be at the dinner table to discuss some of the work of the matter, talk is quite enthusiastic, each other’s exchanges and communication between them gradually fade, presenting a new kind of comfortable atmosphere.
As the juniors got on better terms, Zeng Hong and Alenda became close, often drinking tea and chatting together. They would also make appointments to go out for beauty treatments and shopping together.
Only Lan Qin’er was apprehensive, once those plans to deal with Lu Xiaoxian, she also had a part to play. Lan Xiuhe and his wife went to the prison, An Yirou was sent by the An family to the Women’s Cultivation Academy, which was a hard and lonely place, similar to prison. Yet no one came after her until one day her mother told her that Lan Zufeng was originally going to send her to the Cultivation Academy for introspection as well. It was Lu Xiaoxian who stopped him, because Lu Xiaoxian felt that forgiveness was better than punishment. Saying that forgiveness would give her a fresh start, away from resentment, and learn to understand and tolerate.
After so many things happened, Lan Qin’er was not without a little touch, her elder brother turned out to be dead a year ago, her great-uncle and great-uncle went to the prison, once the most glorious big house in the Lan family, but ended up in such a state, so that she was very shaken, and began to reflect on her own doings. Lu Xiaoxian’s words touched her, and she finally understood why Lu Xiaoxian was so lucky? It was because there was always someone who would not hesitate to rescue her from the fire. The winners of the road have a lot of help, but the losers have little help. That was the difference between Lu Xiaoxian and Lin Peizhi.
After a heart for good, Lan Qin’er unconsciously found a lot of beautiful things in life, she no longer go out to fool around late at night, but stay at home, accompanied Lan Zufeng to write calligraphy, with her mother planting flowers, learn embroidery, sometimes Hou with Lu Xiaoxian together with Lan Zufeng to the woods for a walk, to look at the wildflowers by the side of the road to welcome the wind to wave, to see the green leaves are thriving, to see the sun set, look at the windows of the house gradually light up the lights, the commission at home, the people are busy, these scenes she had never noticed before, all made her feel warm. The servants were busy in front of the door. All these scenes, which she had never noticed before, made her feel warm and fuzzy. It was as if she had suddenly realized the true meaning of life.
Today there were rare burning clouds, red clouds like fire, fiercely burning half the sky. Lu Xiaoxian looked up and sighed, “It’s so beautiful!”
“Actually, there are often fire clouds in Lai Ao, but this is the first time I’ve watched them so properly.” Lan Qin Er smiled and said, “It is indeed beautiful.”
Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the sky in the distance, “Look there …” The words did not finish, only felt the sky spinning, the body softly collapsed, scared Lan Qin’er shouted, “Xiaoxian, what’s wrong with you? Xiao Xian! Quickly come to people ah! Uncle Hua!”
She screamed so alarmingly that she soon drew everyone in the family, Uncle Hua hurriedly asked Ah Lie to carry Lu Xiaoxian back to her room and called the family doctor, everyone gathered around the bedside, looking at the sleeping Lu Xiaoxian with anxiety, Lan Zufeng was so anxious that he kept pacing, “Why hasn’t the doctor come yet? Rush again.”
Uncle Wah said, “It’s already on its way, it’ll be here soon.”
Zeng Hong probed Lu Xiaoxian’s forehead from time to time, “No fever, probably too tired.”
Alenda prayed silently on the side, and Lan Qin’er sat on the edge of the bed with an anxious look on her face.
Arlie ran upstairs and shouted repeatedly, “The doctor is here, the doctor is here.”
“All get out of the way, let the doctor take a look,” Lan Zufeng quickly walked to the door and welcomed the doctor in, “Dr. Wu, take a look at her, why did she faint for no reason?”
“Old master, don’t be in a hurry, let me take a look first.” Dr. Wu didn’t dare to be slow, three or two steps across to the bedside, carefully examined, not feeling relieved. With a joyful expression on his face, “Old master, this young lady is expecting.”
