Chapter 1406: Change/ Take the Severed Head Personally

“Wow!” Everyone went into an uproar! No one expected that the outcome of this matter would be like this. Earlier, everyone expected that Liu Zhenan would definitely be taught a lesson this time. They also expected that the old man Liu Jiangyan who supported Liu Huamei would definitely use this situation to let her advance.

However, the result was that Liu Zhenan’s deputy director position was not affected at all. Instead, he had advanced and taken the position as the deputy director of the finance department! As for Liu Huamei, although she had taken the position as the CEO of the Song Jiang branch office, she was actually silently demoted. Although she was still the CEO of the finance department, she was not within the group and was stationed outside. With this, the whole operation of the finance department had fallen into Liu Zhenan’s hands!

While Liu Zhenan was the deputy director, he would actually be taking on the responsibilities of a director. All he had to do was report to Liu Huamei regularly. However, wasn’t reporting easy to do? With just a few words, it would be simply too easy to hide whatever he wanted to from Liu Huamei.

Liu Zhenan even thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at his grandfather unbelievably. Is this true? It this really true? Not only did I not receive punishment, but I was also promoted instead? As for my little sister who has always been supported by the old man, she actually got demoted secretly?

Could it be that grandfather has made up his mind to let me take over? That’s why he ignored my actions? It is apparent to everyone that grandfather has been secretly condoning my actions since he only scolded a few words at the start. He questioned no further but promoted me instead?

At first, Liu Zhenan wanted to assign Liu Jifei the deputy director position in the finance department so that the department would have his own person. Now that Liu Jifei had caused so many problems, it should be impossible for him to be assigned to an important position. but the position of deputy director also didn’t fall into anyone else’s hands!

A smug flashed across the corner of Liu Zhenan’s mouth as he looked at Liu Huamei. This lady, you just want to take me down, right? Well then, you put yourself in this situation. You’re willing to be that good old person who wants to help in times of trouble. Since you’re all about the company’s benefit, you’ll be handling the matter of negotiating with Song Jiang’s Ming Yang company. Plus, you don’t have to come back. Just stay there and be a branch office’s CEO forever. What a high position that is, gaga!

“Grandfather, I—” Liu Huamei also thought that something was wrong with her ears. Why would grandfather make such a foolish decision? It doesn’t seem like grandfather is old and muddled? So what’s his purpose in doing this? Not only did he not pursue any of Liu Zhenan’s responsibility, he instead assigned me to handle Song Jiang’s matters.

As a matter of fact, Liu Huamei wasn’t resistant toward handling Song Jiang’s matters. On the contrary, she was extremely excited to handle this matter properly. After all, if this matter wasn’t handled properly, it would have a huge impact on the Jiangyan Group’s reputation. Liu Huamei would feel more confident if she could handle it herself.

However, her grandfather’s single sentence relegated her to Song Jiang forever. Although she still held the position of a Financial Director, anyone could see that this title was empty. It was simply impossible to wish for Liu Zhenan to listen to her commands.

“Having stayed in the group for so long, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing to go for training at the foundation level.” Liu Jiangyan didn’t give Liu Huamei a chance to justify and gave his final word.

Liu Huamei sighed in her heart, but she couldn’t say anything more.

The board meeting ended just like that. Some people couldn’t understand, some people were gloating. Liu Zhenan strode out of the conference room high-spiritedly. From this day onward, his power in this group would be unmatched!

Liu Hua was frowning; he couldn’t understand the purpose of his father’s actions! Why did he suddenly start to suppress Liu Huamei, whom he has always supported, and entrust Liu Zhenan with a huge responsibility?

What does this mean? Could it be that the old man is ready to assign a successor? No matter how Liu Hua looked at it, he didn’t think that his son had the potential to be a successor. However, the truth was already in front of him. The only thing he could do was believe it! Liu Huamei, who had always been favored, suddenly fell out of favor. But his eldest son Liu Zhenan was still able to get promoted even after doing so many perverse actions.

Is the old man really old and confused? Liu Hua’s mind trembled thinking of this possibility. Could it be that there’s something wrong with the old man’s health and he doesn’t have long to live? Is that why he’s starting to plan for the aftermath? Liu Hua suddenly felt that it was possible, incredibly possible. Otherwise, the old man’s attitude wouldn’t be so abnormal.

However, this was a good thing anyway. As long as his eldest son was the successor, it would definitely not bypass him. Plus, he was also sure that he would take over the position of the chairman successfully. It was just that a huge part of the shares might be allocated to his son. However, all of this didn’t matter. The Jiangyan Group would be in the hands of the third family from now on.

In Liu Jiangyan’s office, Liu Huamei looked at her grandfather stubbornly. She didn’t speak, but the grievance in her eyes could be seen by anyone.

“What’s wrong, my little princess? Are you angry with the grandfather?” At this moment, Liu Jiangyan had lost the aura he presented during board meetings. He emanated the feeling of being a completely kind old man.

“Grandfather, you also know what my elder brother is like. If the group is in his hands, I’m afraid that grandfather’s years of hard work will be ruined.” Although Liu Huamei didn’t seem too angry, her heart was furious. If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew that her grandfather was extremely conscious, she would want to scold him for being muddled.

” Hehe, so you think that grandfather’s move is old and muddled?” Liu Jiangyan smiled slightly. His eyes showed his deep love for Liu Huamei.

“No way!” Liu Huamei’s cheeks blushed slightly as she was a little uncomfortable from being exposed. “Grandfather, I have the use of keeping an eye on big brother when I’m in the company. Now that I’ll be going to Song Jiang, then…”

” Hehe, I just want to give your elder brother a chance.” Liu Jiangyan did not hide his thoughts from Liu Huamei. “This is also his only chance, his final chance!”

“Grandfather, you mean…” Liu Huamei said softly. Her eyes lit up as she understood what her grandfather wanted to do.

“That’s right.” Liu Jiangyan nodded. “I am placing the huge power of the group in his hands without your supervision. If he is willing to change, there will be a place for him in the Jiangyan Group in the future. If not, he can hold on to his shares and become a prodigal young master. The dividends will be enough for him to spend for a lifetime…”

Liu Huamei gave a sigh of relief after she heard her grandfather’s explanation. It seemed that grandfather had made up his mind on this matter. However, she no longer had to carry out her earlier decision of bringing up the loopholes in the accounting reports. This was because the financial department was now fully in Liu Zhenan’s control. Whether she brought it up or not no longer mattered.

“Are you relieved now?” Liu Jiangyan sighed. “Huamei, I am most optimistic about you. However, the person I wish the least to be involved in this family dispute is also you! How I wish that you were still that little girl from a few years ago who only knew to act like a spoiled child in front of me. In the future, find a good man to marry and give grandfather a great-grandson…”

“Grandfather, I’m not going to marry. I will always be by your side.” Liu Huamei’s face flushed like a cooked shrimp.

“Girls will have to marry at the end of the day.” Liu Jiangyan sighed and his heart was full of contradictions. “Don’t blame your elder brother as well. In his opinion, you’re a girl who will always belong to someone else’s family. this is why he doesn’t wish for the family business to become your dowry… However, your two brothers are really incompetent right now. If this enormous group were to fall into their hands, I’m afraid—”

Liu Jiangyan didn’t go on, but his meaning was already obvious.

Chapter 1588: Take the Severed Head Personally

“However, after all, they are my children and grandchildren. I still have to give them some shares.” Liu Jiangyan said, “The helmsman of this company will still be you no matter what. You won’t blame me for being biased, right?”

“Why would I?” Liu Huamei shook her head. “Actually, shares or no shares doesn’t matter. I’m a girl, so what can I do with so much money? I just need enough to spend. I just really don’t want to see the glorious Jiangyan group walk toward a dead end.”

“Take it as a vacation when you go to Song Jiang this time. It’s also hard for you. You immerse yourself in work so much and refuse to rest for even a moment.” Liu Jiangyan said. “It’ll be best if you can bring back a little boyfriend for me.”

“Grandfather, what are you saying?” Liu Huamei was shy…

Liu Zhenan looked at Liu Jifei apologetically in his office. This was his absolute confidant! Needless to say, this Liu Jifei really was outstanding flattering other people. In a few short days, he had turned from an ordinary distant relative of the Liu Family into Liu Zhenan’s absolute confidant!

Of course, although Liu Zhenan was not very bright, Liu Jifei’s flattery was undeniable.

“Brother Nan, you don’t have to worry about me. Today is a happy day!” Although Liu Jifei was sorry that he couldn’t become the Deputy Financial Director and do something to Jing Xiaolu, he still seemed happy on the surface. “Congratulations Brother Nan, the financial department will be in your control now. From now on, no one in this group can ever stop you!”

“That’s true!”Liu Zhenan grinned from ear to ear when he thought about his new position as the deputy director of the financial department. “However, I’m really sorry toward you! I really don’t know what has gotten into the old man today. He actually displaced the sly Liu Huamei; it really is a happy thing!”

“That’s right, this is the biggest joy. She will no longer be able to criticize Brother Nan and give orders by your side. Brother Nan will be able to fully control the group now.” Liu Jifei laughed and said flatteringly.

“However, there is some suspense in this matter. Why did the old man support me all of a sudden?” Although Liu Zhenan laughed, he also had some doubts. He was no fool, so how could he not notice that the old man was abnormal today?

“Of course it’s unusual!” Liu Jifei laughed. “Brother Nan, based on the reaction of the old man, I think he wants to train you to be the heir of the group!”

” Oh? Why do you say that?” Liu Zhenan’s heart was excited suddenly. Is this really the case?

“Of course. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still let you become the deputy director of the financial department after you recommended me strongly and got exposed. Not only did Liu Huamei fail to take you down, but she was also appointed to an external position instead!” Liu Jifei said. “This is enough to discern the old man’s intentions. That is, the successor has been determined. No matter what you do, you are already the successor in the old man’s eyes. Even if you cross the line a little, it won’t be a shortcoming anymore. It’s absolutely normal for superiors to maintain a strong stance after all.”

” En, this makes sense!” Liu Zhenan’s expression became prouder.

“Liu Huamei’s silent demotion is easier to explain.” Liu Jifei said. “It’s not right for the old man to take away her position directly. After all, she did this for the sake of the company, and not just because she was against you. So, there is no reason for the old man to remove her. However, for you to rise, she is an obstacle that has to be removed. So, with today’s excuse, she was appointed to an external position!”

“Jifei, I notice that you have a talent in being a competent adviser.” Liu Zhenan patted Liu Jifei’s shoulder like a close friend.

” Hehe, I think that even if you and Liu Huamei didn’t fight one another because of this today, the old man would still think of another excuse to release Liu Huamei and assign a huge role to you.” Liu Jifei continued to analyze, “And today was just a coincidence as it presented such a good opportunity. Who knows, the old man might even be secretly praising you as someone who knows how to create great opportunities!”

“Jifei, I have decided. In the future, you will be my adviser. Although there isn’t a clear position at my side, I will personally give you fifty thousand yuan as a monthly salary! If you do well, I will reward you more!” Liu Zhenan liked Liu Jifei more and more. It would simply be wonderful to have a follower like this by his side.

“Thank you, Brother Nan!” Liu Jifei agreed quickly when he heard this. Fifty thousand yuan a month for being just an adviser and his company would not be affected in any way. This was completely free money. Plus, there were rewards.

“In the future, if I get promoted, rest assured that you are the greatest contributor. Then, this deputy director position will be yours!” Liu Zhenan said boldly.

“Then I’ll thank Brother Nan in advance.” How could Liu Jifei not know the benefits of following Liu Zhenan? In the future, he would be like the prince’s favorite courtier from ancient times. When the prince became king, he would rise above all others and only be inferior to one person.

“It’s still a little easy for Liu Huamei. It’s better to let her never be able to return!” People are always greedy. Previously Liu Zhenan was still happy that Liu Huamei had been appointed to an external position. In the blink of an eye, he felt that Liu Huamei should be driven to rock bottom. Otherwise, he would always have an enemy as long as she was around. If the old man became confused one day and decided to let her rise again, it would be a huge threat!

“Brother Nan, rest assured. I still have a trick for this. I promise to finish off Liu Huamei!” Liu Jifei had planned another conspiracy to deal with Jing Xiaolu at the beginning. This same conspiracy could be used on Liu Huamei.

Liu Jifei’s plan was for Jing Xiaolu and Xu Xiaobin to be finished together. Liu Huamei would also be involved now that she had gotten mixed in.

“Oh?” Liu Zhenan showed an interested expression. “You have a good way to make her never return?”

“Of course…” Liu Jifei sneered and whispered in Liu Zhenan’s ear. “At that time, we will do this and this… Liu Huamei will definitely be finished…”

……

“Is there any movement over at the Lancer family’s side?” Yang Ming hugged Wang Xiaoyan leisurely while sitting in the courtyard of the Butterfly Castle. Wang Songshan, who was on the opposite side, ate his fruit relaxingly.

No one would have thought that the Butterfly Family, which had been in crisis a few days ago, would become so relaxed.

Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui were training Old Buffon and Miss Buffon in the courtyard next to them. However, the two old people did not feel any hardship. It was a great honor to be taught by the grandmaster and his wife.

“Nope. I’m thinking that Thomas will not give up Goode easily. After all, he is his grandson.” Wang Songshan said, “It is just like how I did not want to marry Yanyan to that Goode initially.”

Yang Ming nodded, “It seems that we didn’t pressure the Lancer Family enough! We should ask Old Buffon to show them.”

“No need. I’ll take action in a while and go to the Lancer Family myself to take Goode’s severed head.” A hint of hatred flashed across Wang Songshan’s mouth as he said this. “I will definitely make Goode pay for his insults against our family!”

Yang Ming smiled a little. He could tell how much Wang Songshan hated Goode just by seeing how he looked now! If Yang Ming hadn’t known the people from the Buffon Family, the Butterfly Family would probably be in a major crisis now!

Besides, the Butterfly Family had done nothing wrong in all of this. It could not be said that the fault lay with the Butterfly Family in actively provoking the Lancer Family; the Lancer Family simply could not handle the backfire of their decisions.

However, it was obvious that Goode was the one who started the fight. He boasted and failed at his proposal, and then he sought dreadful revenge from the Lancer Family! This kind of person was a true lowlife, so how could Wang Songshan keep him alive?

If Goode was not allowed to pay tribute to the anger in Wang Songshan’s heart, how could Wang Songshan wash away the shame from before? If Wang Songshan didn’t respond, other families would laugh at his incompetence!

People would feel that Wang Songshan was too incompetent if he didn’t take revenge on his enemies even with a powerful support like the Buffon Family. They might even suspect that the Buffon Family support was fake!

“That’s good too. However, there should also be experts in the Lancer Family. I suggest for Uncle Wang to select some disciples from the family to go with you. You’ll also have people to look after one another.” Yang Ming said.

“Of course I know this, so rest assured!” Wang Songshan nodded. “Wait for my good news!”
