After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 529 - 353: _5

Fu Tingzhou’s expression was grim.

Ever since he instructed Shen Duan to report back to him, there had been no news about Tang Xi and her daughter Tangtang. According to what he knew about Fu Yunye,

If Fu Yunye deliberately took action, he wouldn’t even pick up Fu Tingzhou’s calls at this moment.

Shen Duan’s head was bowed, "There’s been no news yet. The eldest young master is carrying on with his work, going on business trips, and Miss Tang hasn’t been seen by his side. We’ve tried to place someone close to the eldest young master, but we’ve been unsuccessful."

"Perhaps, President Fu, you could ask the eldest young master," Shen Duan suggested, while carefully observing Fu Tingzhou’s expression.

Over the years, Fu Yunye had accumulated his own power and confidence.

Fu Tingzhou’s lips were pursed tightly, followed by his indifferent statement, "Take me to the Fu Family’s old mansion."

"Yes."

Shen Duan dared not speak out of turn, nor did he dare to ask too much.

Soon after, Shen Duan brought Fu Tingzhou to the Fu Family’s old mansion.

The Fu Family patriarch was sitting on the living room sofa, in front of him was a pot of freshly brewed tea.

"Finally back from there?"

The old patriarch smiled, his grip on Fu Tingzhou’s whereabouts was tight.

"Why did you do this?"

When Fu Tingzhou approached the old patriarch within a step’s distance, he stopped.

All the people who were previously by his side had been sent away, all the information was being blocked, and then there was that one sentence uttered by Xu Ze.

The patriarch took a sip of his tea, "What I did was for your own good."

Fu Tingzhou was ungrateful, sneering, "Causing me to lose my memory was for my own good? I haven’t forgotten anything, except for Tang Xi!"

"Who do you want to add to the picture?"

Fu Tingzhou was angrier than he had ever been.

"You may dislike all those young ladies from prominent families, you don’t have to be with them, but you absolutely can’t be with Tang Xi! Ahzhou, I’ve spent half of my life on the battlefield. Now, I don’t want any relatives to be harmed. You and Yunye are my grandsons. Now that Yunye’s legs are ruined, Fu Group still needs you to bear the burden. I can’t watch you do foolish things for a woman."

He had thought that losing the memories about Tang Xi would make things better. But the result? Step by step, he was still revolving around Tang Xi.

He thought he was seeking the truth, running here to demand answers.

What’s next?

Was he going to die for Tang Xi like many years ago?

But Fu Tingzhou firmly made his stance clear, "Why can’t I be with Tang Xi? Beside her is my daughter, if I’m not with them, who should I be with?"

"I will not leave Tang Xi, and you better give up those thoughts right away. If you dare to lay a finger on Tang Xi, then fine, I will consider..."

"Nonsense!"

The old patriarch never expected Fu Tingzhou to be so resolute.

He grabbed the teacup and threw it furiously at Fu Tingzhou.

Fu Tingzhou didn’t even bother to dodge, "I mean what I say."

The patriarch clutched his chest, unable to catch his breath, his complexion was an angry purple, "Very well, you’ve grown bold enough to defy me, is that it? Fu Tingzhou..."

The patriarch hadn’t finished speaking when he blacked out and collapsed onto the sofa.

Seeing no response from him, Fu Tingzhou stepped forward, called Shen Duan to help, and took the patriarch to the hospital.

The Fu Family’s informants reported the news to Fu Yunye as soon as possible.

Fu Yunye then made a phone call.

Less than five minutes passed before the board of directors at Fu Group started to make a commotion.

Shen Duan was the first to learn of the news, and then relayed it to Fu Tingzhou who was by Mr. Fu’s side, "President Fu, the board is raising objections now, saying they want to replace a director. People within the company can no longer keep this under control. We need you to come back and take charge immediately!"

Fu Yunye was absent, and Tang Xi was the only one by the elder’s side. If he left, who would take care of the elder?

"Let them make noise."

Fu Tingzhou didn’t care about them.

They always went back and forth over the same issues.

This time, the board meeting was different from the past, it was unavoidable. Some even came directly to the hospital, "President Fu, you are the person in charge of Fu Group, the board members need you to come and address the issue. Is it really appropriate for you to just hole up here?"

"Mr. Fu is currently in the hospital, but it’s not as if there’s nobody else who can attend to things. This matter concerns the future development of Fu Group. If you don’t show yourself, what’s the point of Fu Group’s existence?"

Fu Tingzhou merely glanced at this person and remembered his identity, Gao Hao. It was time to make an example out of him.

Fu Tingzhou tossed an order to Shen Duan, "Arrange for a caretaker to look after Grandfather well, and you will come with me to the company."

"Understood."

Shen Duan dared not delay and accompanied Fu Tingzhou to the company.

Members of the board gathered in the high-level conference hall.

When they saw Fu Tingzhou and Shen Duan enter from outside the meeting room, someone immediately pointed out Fu Tingzhou’s problem,

"You are the company’s acting CEO, shouldn’t you give an explanation to everyone in the company about where you go? You think you can go wherever you want, what is this place to you? Is it your playground?"

"Mr. Fu must have been aggravated into the hospital by you, right? A person like you doesn’t deserve to be Fu Group’s CEO. Step down and let someone competent take over!"

"Exactly, step down quickly to prevent such news from spreading. Outsiders would say Fu Group has endorsed a cold-blooded and ruthless person as CEO!"

...

This time, the targets of the board members were unanimous; they all wanted to oust Fu Tingzhou from his position.

Fu Tingzhou scoffed, "First of all, I would like to thank Gao Hao. If it weren’t for him coming over to inform me, I wouldn’t have known that you all have reached a consensus and are waiting for me here now."

"However, on the other hand, my taking this position wasn’t determined by your votes. If you don’t want me to continue sitting in this position, then please feel free to leave."

As he finished speaking, Fu Tingzhou waved his hand toward Shen Duan, who then placed the resignation letters on the table.

Fu Tingzhou sneered coldly, "You can leave now, and I’ll approve it immediately."

"Fu Tingzhou, you’re really full of yourself. I want to see how you, alone, can stabilize the situation if all of us leave!"

Gao Hao leaped out, angrily retorting Fu Tingzhou’s words.

He was the first to fill out the resignation form.

Under his lead, indeed quite a few people wrote theirs, but there were still some old die-hards who didn’t budge at all.

Among them, someone’s sharp gaze fell on Fu Tingzhou, directly pointing out his faults, "The capable should hold high positions. If you aren’t capable, then get down from there. Whether we leave or not is not up to you to decide!"

"That’s right, even your grandfather wouldn’t dare to say such things to us. Fu Tingzhou, what gives a junior like you the right?"

"Just for your insolence and lack of respect, you’re unfit to sit in that position. Step down!"

...

The old die-hards were each more stubborn and agitated than the last.

Fu Tingzhou didn’t care about these at all. He sneered coldly and said indifferently, "The reason I’m in charge is that I am currently Fu Group’s CEO. Who stays and who leaves, I have the final say!"

Fu Tingzhou did not spare a single person present in the board meeting today.

Those who were unwilling to leave, Fu Tingzhou even had Shen Duan call in security directly.

He was as ruthless and dominant as ever!
