Chapter 647
The three men in the secretarial department looked at the dozen or so tall Westerners and their expressions changed dramatically.
This afternoon, they had been carrying on with the task at hand as usual when they were interrupted like this.
As soon as these men came in, they said that headquarters had sent them to take over the Asia Pacific region.
“Neil, what are you talking so impulsively for?” Off to the side, a middle-aged man turned his head, “What’s all this nonsense when it’s clearly just a normal handover of work?”
“Headquarters asked us to run the Asia Pacific region, not to argue.”
“What do you call that punching?” Neil grunted slightly, “I just can’t stand to see a Chinese man sitting in such a high position, and now that he’s finally stepping down, what’s wrong with venting a little?”
The venus group o continent started, no matter which district the top management is, it should be them westerners.
A Chinese man suddenly parachuted in over a year ago, and a man that young.
Could they, the old men who had been in the venus group for a long time, be willing to do so?
“Keep your voice down.” The middle-aged man frowned, “Haven’t you heard the rumours in the company? He has a life-long friendship with the Executive Director.”
“All right.” Neil bristled, “If the CEO really had a lifelong friendship with him, would he have just removed him from his position and transferred us to the Asia Pacific region?”
It was also the day before they received the news.
The headquarters said that there was an urgent personnel change that required some of the top bra*s from the O-League region to be stationed in the Asia Pacific region.
Neil was formerly the Vice President of Sales for the O-League region.
This time he was transferred to the Asia Pacific region and took over the position of President of the Asia Pacific region.
Neil couldn’t believe it at first.
It was only after he received his promotion letter that he was able to confirm that the good thing had happened to him.
It was only when he was given his promotion letter that he was able to confirm that he was in good hands. The head office had really seen his talent and had let him come to Asia Pacific to make a difference.
As Vice President of Sales, Neil is no slouch.
A few years ago, the venus group was under siege by the four major plutocrats in o continent at an important stage of its development.
In the end, instead of being strangled, it rocketed to the top, and Neil was among those responsible.
The headquarters naturally looked up to him.
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything.
He was also quite surprised.
Fu Yunshen had been the president of the Asia Pacific region for more than a year and had made considerable contributions, but he had been withdrawn just like that.
The attitude of the head office was not that Fu Yunshen would be transferred to the head office.
The day after tomorrow, the official handover of work will begin, and today. I’m just saying this in advance, you should be able to receive a notice from headquarters tomorrow morning.”
He patted the dust off his suit, “Keep up the good work, let’s go.”
The three men from the secretariat looked at each other, all a little alarmed.
This time, the venus group was about to change.
**
This side of the Fu family’s old residence.
Fu Yikan noticed the change in Fu Yunshen’s expression: “Yunshen?”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
He didn’t want to let the venus group’s affairs bother him.
Fu Yikan nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
But Ying Ziyi heard the “president” clearly, and she understood: “Sir, have you thrown the work to your subordinates again?”
“How can you call that throwing?” Fu Yun raised his eyebrows, his voice trailed off and he laughed, “It’s called care from the boss.”
What did he need these employees for if they couldn’t help him run the company?
Ying Ziji also raised her eyebrows, slowing down, “Very much the same idea as mine.”
She didn’t like running things either.
Being able to shake off her hands as the boss and having someone to help earn money.
Two birds with one stone.
They were going to the City of Worlds, and there was no telling how long they would be there, and they needed to make arrangements for everything else.
“There’s Li Xini and the others over at ibi, I’ll leave your First Light Media to Councilor Lu for now.” Fu Yunshen sideways, hooking his lips, “But the Imperial University side, Yoyo, you’ll have to ask for leave for those professors yourself.”
“This matter, brother can’t help you.”
When he saw Xue Guohua, he all went around.
These professors’ abrasive skills were just too strong.
It was worthy of being honed in the Bulk Imperial University.
Ying Zigui: “……”
She sent a WeChat to Zuo Li with a blank face.
[This person is dead, something to burn paper.].
[Zuo Li]: ????
[Zuo Li]: Ying, aren’t you going to attend your professor promotion recognition party?
Ying Zidian mercilessly pressed the phone out.
Fu Yijian put down his chopsticks: “Yun Shen, when are you going to the World City?”
“Early July.” Fu Yun Shen faintly, “Big brother, you know, what is the meaning of me living until now.”
“Aunt Liuying ……” Fu Yixian fell silent.
Fu Liu Ying’s death was indeed too hard to accept.
He thought for a moment, “It looks like that man also doesn’t know who killed Aunt Liu Ying.”
Fu Yunshen’s tone was even lighter, “I didn’t expect him.”
“But from this encounter, I probably got an idea of their fighting strength.” His peach blossom eyes curved up, “Don’t worry, I’ve deployed ten ancient martial arts masters to Shanghai, which is enough to protect you and Grandpa.”
He had also arranged for the protection of Old Master Zhong and Ying Tianru.
What happened to Fu Liuying twenty years ago, he absolutely would not allow to happen again.
The more Fu Yijian listened, the more silent he became.
His world view was faintly crumbling.
He could at least accept that the General Bureau of International Investigation was an organization that had been featured in history books and microblogs many times.
But ancient martial arts masters, flying over walls, invulnerable to swords and guns?
This is really not a fantasy in the novel?
But at the same time, the higher the strength Fu Yunshen displayed, the more Fu Yixian’s heart sank.
There is never anything in the world that can be obtained without effort.
How much suffering did Fu Yunshen have to endure to reach such a high position?
Fu Yichan sighed.
He wished that Fu Yunshen did not have to suffer so much and could grow up in peace and comfort.
** The next day.
The next day.
In the morning, several news stories hit the whole of China.
All the major software platforms exploded.
#venus Group changes top management, Asia Pacific changes hands
#venus Group’s quarterly wrap-up meeting will be held next week
#The CEO will appear in person at the wrap-up meeting
The internet was in shock, talking about it all over the place.
Especially in Shanghai.
A lot of people on the road were talking about it.
“It’s really the turn of the wind and water, this Fu Seventh Youngster has fallen off so quickly.”
“Tsk, even if he doesn’t have the position of president of the Venus Group Asia Pacific, he’s still the young master of the Fu family, he can still continue to be a dude.”
“Anyway, with just a face, there are a lot of young girls jumping over, people will not worry about food and clothing in their life.”
On the side of the road, the head guard saw Shao Yun stop: “Grand Master?”
Shao Yun’s brow furrowed, “What’s going on with the venus group?”
All he knew about the venus group were those things on the internet as well.
It was still a mystery who the executive head of venus group really was.
There were rumours over in o-continent that the executive director was a wealthy man in his fifties.
“It’s normal for personnel to change.” The head escort said, “Unlike the hereditary system of those companies in our city, it’s all about the capable over here, so I’m sure ……”
Shao Yun gave him a cold look, “Xiao Qi is the most capable.”
The head guard stopped talking, having to admit that this was a fact.
Having only met Fu Yunshen once, the aura on him, that killing determination as well as the skill, was far from what Shao Ying-Yu could compare to.
And Shao Ying, too, is one of the contenders to become the next head of the family.
Not only does he have the training of the Jade family, but also the House of Magi behind Vermilion.
Even so, it was no match for Fu Yunshen.
The head guard was also puzzled.
When had Earth’s strength become so strong?
The head guard had already been conquered by the strength Fu Yunshen had shown, and he quickly changed his tone, “But Grand Master, I’m afraid that he won’t be returning to the Jade Family.”
“Let’s not mention that first.” Shao Yun coughed twice, his eyebrows slightly stern, “Where is the Asia Pacific headquarters? Let’s go over there and take a look.”
The head escort pulled up the navigation, “Grand Master, this way.”
**
At this time, in the headquarters building.
The president’s office.
Neil had moved in early.
Was having someone sort out the files in the office.
“Mr. Fu, what a pity.” Neil smiled peevishly and extended his hand, “I originally wanted to be a colleague with you, but now it seems there’s no way.”
“If you have a problem with that, you can go to the executive director, I respect all his decisions.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes dropped, “You respect the executive director?”
Neil was proud: “Of course, the Executive Director is my idol.”
After a pause, he added, “But Mr. Fu’s abilities are obvious to all of us, so I can offer you a position as director of sales.”
Fu Yunshen was interested.
He didn’t look half as if he was about to get angry, and lazily said, “You answer the phone.”
“What phone call?” Neil frowned, “I don’t have a phone to answer.”
No sooner had he said that than his phone rang.
Neil froze and took out his phone to look at it.
The caller ID: ian (Ian)
cfo of venus group, chief financial officer.
Chapter 648
The employees of the venus group know that Ian, the cfo, has the best relationship with the chief executive.
The next best was cto Josie, the chief technology officer.
And, the reason why Neil idolised the CEO was also because Josie was personally poached by the CEO.
Even the chief hacker of the Hacker League could be hired directly to the company as a technical officer, how powerful must he be?
And as the former sales director of the O-League region, Ian was the one who was considered his immediate superior.
Neil couldn’t care less about Fu Yunshen and immediately picked up the phone, “Director Ian.”
“Neil, what did you do yesterday?” Ian, as he always does, gave a reprimand, “Letting you take over the Asia Pacific region is the Executive Director’s recognition of your trust and ability, why are you acting like a p*ssy?”
Neil was taken aback, too late to think how Ian knew, opened his mouth, “Director Ian, I, I just ……”
“Okay, I know you’re a mouthy kid, cut the p*ssy.” Ian added, “After all, you will be the president of the Asia Pacific region, deal with the staff well, you know?”
“The CEO said that if Asia Pacific’s profits drop by one point next quarter, you’ll lose it.”
Neil broke out in a cold sweat, “I will work hard and try to be considerate of my subordinates, and please ask Director Ian to tell the CEO that I will always be a big fan of his!”
Ian choked, “Wait for the quarterly meeting next week, you can say it yourself.”
Hearing this, Neil was a little surprised, “Is the Executive Director really going to visit the site to guide us?”
The venus group’s executive director had never been seen in public again and the level of secrecy internally was extremely high, simply because the venus group had been too tough for the first two or three years.
Quite a few of the local forces on the o-continent were suppressing them.
There were also frequent a*sa*sinations of top executives.
But as long as the CEO was there, the venus group would not fall.
Many times the venus group has been in a desperate situation and they have survived on the instructions of the CEO.
Now the Venus Group has become the number one group in the world, and even the four major financial institutions on the continent would have to consider whether they are capable of making a move.
Neil was overjoyed, he would soon be able to meet his idol.
When the call ended, Neil looked at Fu Yunshen and stopped pretending: “Mr Fu, I’ll be straightforward, I’m not used to seeing you parachuted in.”
“But your abilities prove that you have the strength to run the company, how about reconsidering the position of sales director?”
Fu Yun raised his deep eyebrows and patted him on the shoulder, “Well, work hard and don’t let the Asia Pacific region be pressured by the O-League area, or I’ll be angry when I come back.”
How could he possibly go back when he had so easily become a shirker?
Neil froze as he watched the man walk out, his brain stopped working for this time.
Fu Yunshen walked to the door before stopping again.
He looked sideways, hooked his lips, and gave a perfunctory word of encouragement, “Neil, come on.”
Neil: “……”
f*ck!
Why did Fu Yunshen feel so much like the ruthless capitalist who drove him to work?
Neil gave a cold hum.
He was just venting the whine in his mind anyway, everything still had to be about the venus group.
Neil sat down and began to sort out his work papers in earnest.
It wasn’t long before another call came in.
The area displayed was continent O.
Neil picked it up, a little impatiently, “What for?”
“Neil, congratulations on the promotion.” On the other end of the line was Joseph, the president of the o-continent, “With you gone, the o-continent has been greatly weakened.”
“I’m afraid President Joseph doesn’t need me, does he?” Neil sneered, “You don’t think I’ll be able to take the credit for this, do you?”
“Neil, what are you talking about?” Joseph seemed to chuckle, “I’m getting promoted to coo, what else am I going to take credit for from you?”
The coo, chief operating officer, is the same job level as the cto.
The coo oversees the day-to-day and staff activities of the company and can report directly to the executive.
The venus group’s coo is reaching retirement age and will be retiring next week.
So a new coo needs to be re-elected and appointed by the CEO himself.
Joseph was indeed a popular candidate.
Neil held his breath at the thought that the coo could see the executive director every day.
He sneered, “The quarterly presentation meeting hasn’t even started yet and you’re already dreaming of being the coo? You’d have to be able to be one too.”
He didn’t wait for Joseph to say anything else and hung up the phone straight away.
o This side of the league area.
Joseph looked at the hung up phone, his face a little ugly.
Off to the side, a woman shrugged, “Joseph, it’s been said for a long time that Neil and us are not on the same page, he blindly worships the Executive Director.”
“He won’t go west if the exec tells him to go east, and if he works with him, he’ll turn around and give the exec the slip.”
“It’s just the Asia Pacific region, I don’t care.” Joseph’s eyes were grim, “Let’s get everything ready as soon as possible before the quarterly presentation.”
It wasn’t just the coo position he wanted.
The CEO, that was his goal.
Joseph asked again, “Has Miss Keel been contacted?”
“Contacted.” The woman glanced at the message on the tablet, “Miss Keel will cooperate with us.”
Keir Laurent.
Vice President of the Laurent Bank in continent O.
Joseph had offered ten percent of the venus group in exchange for Keir’s help.
Otherwise the members of the Laurent family who only recognised money would not even care about him.
But this sacrifice was nothing compared to the entire venus group.
Joseph let out a slow breath and proceeded to prepare his plan.
**
This way.
Fu Yunshen finished handling the handover of work and came downstairs.
The employees were all standing in the lobby, their eyes red with sadness.
“Mr. Fu!”
“Mr. Fu, are you really leaving?”
“Chief Fu, say one thing, we’ll follow you, it’s not the only place we can stay.”
“Ah, work hard, I’m not leaving.” Fu Yun Shen looked gentle and smiled, “See you all next week.”
The staff were a little dazed.
Where would we meet next week?
Fu Yunshen left the headquarters building.
He did not change his appearance, nor did he use any other costume.
He had no disguise, nor did he use any other costume, plus his face was so high that pa*sers-by instantly recognised him.
They pointed and pointed.
“It’s true that he’s been kicked out of the venus group, and I don’t know what he’s done.”
“It was so hard to give Chinese people some glory, and now he’s given up to a foreigner, really.”
Fu Yunshen looked languid, completely unconcerned.
At the junction of the road, someone called out to him, “Young master.”
When Fu Yunshen heard this call, his footsteps lurched.
He turned his head back and smiled: “What did you call me?”
The head escort was startled: “Mr. Fu.”
“Hm.” Fu Yunshen responded indifferently, ignoring Shaoyun and leaving straight away.
Shao Yun’s expression was stunned as he went to shake Fu Yunshen’s arm, “Xiao Qi!”
Fu Yun Shen’s eyes were slightly cold as he turned sideways and directly clasped Shao Yun’s wrist: “I seem to have said that was the last time, don’t force me to do anything with you.”
He didn’t want to make Fu Liuying sad.
“Xiao Qi, I’m also tracking down who killed Liu Ying.” Shao Yun’s throat rolled and his throat tightened, “You don’t recognise me, I do, but you’re going to the City of Worlds and it’s not much of a break-in alone.”
After a pause, he whispered, “I can offer you some help.”
Even for him, who was already in the position of the head of the great family, he would still be subject to many restrictions.
Not just from within the Jade Family, but also the House of Magi and the Leingold Family.
The City of Worlds was too complicated.
Only the sages come and go with ease.
But they indeed had no way to compete with the gods.
Fu Yunshen had one hand in his pocket, his pale amber shimmer misty.
After a period of silence, he pulled out the photo from his phone and handed it to Shaoyun: “Have you seen it?”
Shaoyun took it, and his expression changed slightly: “These are the people who killed Liu Ying?”
Fu Yunshen gave a cold hmph.
“The mark I haven’t seen.” Shao Yun’s brows furrowed, “I don’t know how you define it here, but the meaning of a skull is bad in World City, it represents death and is not allowed to be used, and black also means desperate.”
Fu Yunshen tilted his head slightly, “The House of Sages can’t use it either?”
“It’s not that it can’t, it won’t.” Shaoyun shook his head, “The twenty-two sages are the faith of the City of Worlds, what would the common folk think if such a symbol was used?”
Fu Yun Shen’s eyes deepened.
Who had actually killed Fu Liu Ying?
“But it may not be impossible.” Shaoyun murmured, “Not all of the twenty-two Sages are good, according to family records, the Sage Demon and the Sage Emperor were once resisted by other Sages together.”
Sinai hadn’t made it to that position as the head of the family, there were things she didn’t know.
Shaun knew much more.
He spoke again, “It was said that the Sage Demon had maliciously compelled a few other Sages to go to war with the other Sages, sparking a riot that was eventually all subdued.”
“The representative colour of the sage demon, which is black, can also be a*sociated with death, but the sage ……”
Sages that is the gods on high, how would they strike at ordinary people?
“Seven, I will look into it.” Shao Yun jotted the sign down, “Will definitely check.”
Fu Yun Shen smiled with a bit of bitterness and coolness, “You can check? You can’t even save her.”
Shaoyun’s arms shook and he lowered his head in dismay.
He could only hate himself for those twenty years of incompetence, being held in the deadly grip of the Jade family like a puppet.
Fu Yunshen drew back his phone, said nothing more, and turned to walk away.
Shaoyun stood silently in place and did not go after him.
The head escort looked at Shao Yun: “Grand Master, should we go back?”
Shao Yun shook his head, “Stay here, is there any news coming from the Sage House?”
“No.” The head escort said, “The Sage House doesn’t care at all.”
Shao Yun nodded.
That was also true.
The Order of the Grail had 100,000 people, and one Grail Knight dead couldn’t be more common.
The Sage didn’t have time to care about such things.
**
Within a few days, the news of the venus group’s personnel changes spread throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Even the news was being broadcast in the restaurants.
“This newspaper reports that the world’s number one conglomerate, venus Group, is about to hold its quarterly report meeting next week and the CEO will be appearing in public for the first time.”
“Stay tuned to this newspaper as the frontline reporters continue to bring you reports on what is really going on beneath the veil of secrecy surrounding this CEO.”
In the Han Court.
“This group of people! Always fawning on the top and arrogant on the bottom!” Master Zhong had heard many derogatory words about Fu Yunshen over the past few days and was furious, slapping the table heavily, “Fu, don’t be sad, the president’s position is gone, Grandpa and Ziji will support you.”
Fu Yunshen coughed lightly, “Grandpa, thank you.”
Ying Zidian glanced at him and went on to read the World City’s intelligence.
This man, it was easy to change his tone.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “Grandpa, why don’t I invite you to go to country J next week?”
“To do what?” Elder Zhong gave him a suspicious look, “Are you going to take me to blow up the headquarters of the venus group? Kill the executive director?”
Ying Ziji: “……”
She had to wonder if her grandfather had learned the hard way after a few phone calls with Wen Huilan.
“No, you’re invited to the quarterly presentation, plus the party.” Fu Yunshen ruffled his eyes, “Why would I want to blow up my own company?”
Elder Zhong was dumbfounded and didn’t react at all.
There were mocking voices ringing out.
“Yo, isn’t this our Mr. Fu? Now you have to eat your old money to come into Han Court again?”
“What Mr. Fu, it’s not Mr. Fu anymore, is it, Mr. Fu Qi Shao?”
These were the few gentry who had once mocked Fu Yunshen for a long time after Master Fu’s death.
They walked into Han Court with a mocking look on their shoulders.
Recently they had finally become active again after learning the news of Fu Yunshen’s downfall and were able to raise their eyebrows.
“Young Fu Qi, this way, if you call me brother, I can take you into Han Court as well.” A gent gave a tsk, “It’s better than relying on women and old men, right?”
Ying Zidian raised his eyes indifferently, and just as his finger moved, it was held by Fu Yunshen.
He casually pressed his other hand on the phone a few times: “That’s still a coincidence, you can go now.”
The gentry froze.
There was the sound of messy footsteps.
The manager of Han Court hurried over, first startled, then saluting respectfully, “Boss, as you ordered, the head chef’s menu is ready, and Han Court is no longer open to the public today.”
