Lu Jinan didn’t sit down. He slammed the documents in his hand on the conference table. His hands were in his pockets as he shot a look at the executives who followed him into the room, and they immediately began distributing files to all the directors.
Originally it was intended to be secretarial work, but the executives had worked way too hard on the project of Platinum Life City, and no one wanted the project to die.
Lu Jinnan stood under the projection screen in his suit attire, radiating poise.
He explained the whole project in detail and presented the contract signed by the major construction companies, which listed the liquidated damages payable in the case of breach of contract.
It was too many amends to make on behalf of Kaide Corporation if all of those companies colluded together.
The directors whispered and talked to each other, but they all ultimately looked in the Elder Fu’s direction.
Lu Jinnan glanced at the Elder Fu who had a bad expression on his face and said, “Now the pre-sale certificate has been obtained, and the project must be launched within ten days. The Board has been pressuring them for several days, and even the flowers in the model room have been changed twice since we prepared the pre-sale department. Now, all we are waiting for is the Chief Board Director’s word on this… Do we launch or do we not?”
Elder Fu looked at Fu Huai’an and said coldly, “You all must leave this room first! I have something to say to Huai’an.”
Soon, there were only two people left in the conference room, Fu Huai’an and Elder Fu.
Elder Fu looked at Fu Huai’an with his clear eyes and said, “You thought I didn’t know that those construction companies were all privately owned and operated by you?”
Fu Huai’an took a cigarette out of the cigarette case and fiddled with it in his hands.
“This is a family scandal I don’t want to spread outside. You’re a grandchild of the Fu Family, do you think it sounds decent that you’re fighting with your uncle to become heir?” Elder Fu looked at Fu Huai’an solemnly.
It was the first time that Fu Huai’an and his grandfather spoke of the elephant in the room.
Fu Huai’an examined his grandfather’s eyes with his deep gaze without speaking.
“With your ability, you can leave the Kaide Corporation and found a whole new institution. You will still do great! Why are you insisting to fight with Tianci on this? Hm? You’re not a part of the Fu family! I cannot hand over the Kaide Corporation to you!”
“Even if Fu Tianci messes this cooperation up?” Fu Huai’an asked.
Elder Fu clenched his teeth and retorted back, “Tianci is still young! It will be different when he’s grown up.”
Fu Huai’an put down the cigarette in his hand and stood up. He skillfully buttoned his suit as he answered, “Grandfather, you and I both know, even if I weigh the pros and cons here today, the directors here today will still value your opinion since you’re the elder. Whether the project of Platinum Life City can be commenced, it all depends on your word.”
Looking up at Fu Huai’an’s tall and slender figure, the elder Fu squinted his eyes and seemed to see his younger self in him.
“You told everyone to leave and said so much, and you let me know your guess that the construction companies were all mine. But your ultimate goal is to inform me that once the Platinum Life City project starts, those construction companies can earn profits. If not, they can’t reap the same benefits and whether this project starts is based on my command!”
Upon buttoning his suit, Fu Huai’an put his hands in his pocket and smiled. “Not to mention the point on whether those companies are mine, they can really make a profit if we launch the project. If we don’t, the liquidated damages will be substantial. I do hope you’re able to help fill in the gaps for the board.”
As Fu Huai’an was preparing to leave, Elder Fu suddenly called Fu Huai’an. “Fu Huai’an, wait a second.”
