“Damn! The Fang Family has made it big. I thought the Nox Company wouldn’t collaborate with them, and they missed out on a great opportunity. Who would have known that they managed to deceive everyone, which turned out like this? It’s definitely no different from cooperation. From now on, if the Fang Family wants to gain any benefits from the Nox Company, Fang Yunshu only needs to say a word.”
“Yeah, the Fang Family will rake in the profits.”
Upon hearing the whispers around them, the members of the Fang Family went from initial astonishment to a complex mix of emotions.
“Old Fang, your tactics are truly brilliant. You should take good care of us from now on.”
“Qianlong, we’ve had a long-standing relationship. Now that the Fang Family has risen, don’t forget about me.”
Several people even approached to please the Fang Family directly.
Each member of the Fang Family instinctively straightened their posture, and Fang Qianlong even clenched his fists, smiling as he said, “No need to be polite, everyone. The Fang Family has always valued old relationships. Let’s all prosper together.”
“But wasn’t Fang Yunshu recently expelled from the Fang Family’s genealogy?” “Severing ties with the family lineage? Holy, the Fang Family has gone too far this time. They’ve practically pushed Fang Yunshu to the brink of death. If she doesn’t retaliate against them, that would be considered quite merciful. Can she even take care of the Fang Family anymore?”
As a few individuals were approaching the Fang Family, they immediately backed away upon hearing these words.
Being stripped of their lineage was the ultimate punishment for any member of a family. It was evident that Fang Yunshu and the Fang Family were irreconcilable.
How could the Fang Family expect to benefit from Fang Yunshu any longer?
Instantly, the expressions on the faces of every member of the Fang Family turned extremely grim.
The decision to expel Fang Yunshu from the family lineage was still confined within the family itself and hadn’t been officially announced to the outside world. It was only discussed with Li Tianfeng today.
Fang Qianlong looked at Li Tianfeng and saw him smiling at him.
“Damn it, Li Tianfeng did it on purpose!”
Fang Qianlong cursed in his mind, but he felt more regret than anger. If he hadn’t been so quick with his mouth, things wouldn’t have escalated like this.
Fang Yunduo snorted coldly and said, “So what if she became a secretary? I am the daughter-in-law of the Wang Family. In the future, the Wang Family will be a strong backing for our Fang Family, and we will also prosper.”
Upon hearing these words from Fang Yunduo, everyone in the Fang Family felt some sense in them, and they felt a little less depressed.
At this moment, Luna spoke up, saying, “I’m glad everyone could attend this reception. Now, I have an important announcement to make, and it’s regarding a personnel appointment!”
“As the largest shareholder of Nox Company, I will soon be returning to headquarters to assume the position. Therefore, we have specially established a President role for the Ning City district. In the future, our business expansion will be centered around Ning City, expanding throughout the province and the entire country, all under the responsibility of the Ning City district President.”
As Luna uttered these words, everyone’s breath seemed to stop for a moment.
The position of President was of immense importance, akin to a regional lord within Nox Company, holding great power and influence. The question on everyone’s mind now was whether they could establish a connection with this person and secure investments and cooperative projects from Nox Company.
However, Fang Yunshu being Luna’s assistant seemed to be overlooked for the time being.
“Now, I announce that the President of the Ning City district of our company is…” Luna paused for a moment, then waved her arm and pointed towards Fang Yunshu, saying, “Ms. Fang Yunshu!”
There was a brief silence for two seconds, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Fang Yunshu couldn’t help but pause for a moment. Luna hadn’t mentioned this to her beforehand. Now, suddenly announcing it in such a setting, even if she had doubts in her mind, she couldn’t refuse. She could only passively accept the position.
“And now, I would like to invite Miss Fang Yunshu, the President of our company in Ning City, to announce the partnership with Nox Company!”
Fang Yunshu walked up to Luna’s side, and Luna winked at her, a hint of pride evident on her face.
This made Fang Yunshu realize that Luna had planned this, but she couldn’t figure out what Luna’s true intentions were or how she entrusted such an important position to her.
At that moment, Fang Yunshu couldn’t dwell on other thoughts. She approached the microphone, took out an envelope, and with a smile on her face, she said, “And now, I am pleased to announce that the partner of Nox Company in Ning City is…”
Fang Yunshu paused involuntarily when she reached this point.
Everyone thought Fang Yunshu was building suspense, but they already knew it had to be the Wang family, and their gaze shifted toward them.
Meanwhile, everyone from the Wang family stood tall, their heads held high, exuding confidence. Each of them was prepared, ready to raise their hands on stage as soon as Fang Yunshu made the announcement, anticipating the cheers from the audience.
It’s normal to pause when making such an announcement, but Fang Yunshu was genuinely shocked at this moment. She began to doubt if she had written it incorrectly, and her eyes turned to Luna, who smiled and nodded in response.
Fang Yunshu’s mouth trembled, and then she took a deep breath before slowly saying, “The partnering company of the Nox Company is…”
Everyone from the Wang family had already raised their hands.
“The Li Corporation!”
The hands of everyone from the Wang family froze in mid-air..
