173: Misfortune strikes, after 20 years of planning

Chen Yang gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Especially when he saw it.

The office space was more than twice the size of the Vice President offices belonging to Liu Sisi and Su Youlan.

The facilities and equipment inside were also more numerous and comprehensive.

A reception area, a lounge, a shower room, fitness equipment, a bar and wine cabinet, and a small theater were all readily available.

"This is too extravagant!"

Chen Yang was filled with emotion.

"You guys really..."

Liu Sisi chuckled.

"If you think leaving it empty is a waste."

"Normally, Youlan and I can take some time to come and help you test it out."

"How about that?"

Chen Yang nodded.

"Alright!"

"At least it won't be completely wasted."

Following that.

Chen Yang asked again:

"I see the company is already on the right track. Do you still have any difficulties, or is there anything I can help with?"

Liu Sisi thought for a moment.

"Recently, Youlan has a new drama, so she doesn't have much free time."

"Our company is just starting out, and we need to recruit some artists, especially influential ones, who can quickly strengthen our company's capabilities."

"In the near future, I plan to go to Hong Kong and try to recruit some of Hong Kong's Heavenly Kings, Singing Queens, Best Actors, and Best Actresses."

"I'm just worried that after I leave, there will be no one keeping an eye on company matters."

Chen Yang's heart stirred.

This trip to the high seas oil tanker.

It passes through Hong Kong.

When the mission is complete and he is on his way back, it would be the perfect time to handle some private matters.

"I happen to be taking a trip to Hong Kong recently. You can stay and manage the company; just leave this matter to me!"

Liu Sisi felt a little uneasy.

"Are you... sure you can?"

Chen Yang smiled and said:

"It's fine, it's on the way."

"Later, make a list of which big stars you want to find, and I'll do my best to 'lure' them back for you."

Liu Sisi playfully hit him.

"It's a perfectly legitimate business matter, so why does it sound like trickery and abduction when it comes out of your mouth?"

"We will definitely offer the best compensation."

At noon.

Liu Sisi reserved a quiet private room.

Only the two of them had lunch together.

The dishes were excellent, and Chen Yang ate with great relish.

Liu Sisi, however, didn't eat much; she spent most of the time watching Chen Yang enjoy his meal.

Her eyes were filled with blissful enjoyment.

After eating.

The two prepared to take a walk to aid digestion.

Bai Yuyan's phone call suddenly came through.

"Brother Yang, wuwu... Something happened to my dad... wuwu..."

The person on the other end was sobbing uncontrollably.

Chen Yang's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

"Sister Yan, where are you? I'll be right there."

Bai Yuyan cried:

"At City First Hospital, my dad is receiving emergency treatment..."

Chen Yang hung up the phone.

He immediately rushed away.

Arriving at City First Hospital.

Bai Yuyan immediately threw herself into Chen Yang's arms.

She was crying her eyes out.

"Wuwu... My dad is gone... wuwu..."

Chen Yang's heart sank.

He tightly hugged Bai Yuyan.

He gently patted her soft back with his palm.

Soothing her emotions.

He glanced sideways.

Bai Yulong was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes vacant, silently weeping.

Zhang Li and Bai Yuzhu, however, were nowhere to be seen.

That afternoon.

With Chen Yang's help.

Bai Yuyan and Bai Yulong, the sister and brother, contacted funeral staff and set up the mourning hall at home.

They received condolences from relatives and friends from all sides.

The siblings, dressed in mourning clothes, looked utterly miserable.

Yet, Zhang Li and her daughter Bai Yuzhu never showed up.

By mid-afternoon.

Bai Yuyan and her brother suddenly received an urgent notification.

Yuntian Group was holding a board meeting at 4:00 PM in the headquarters conference room.

To re-elect a new Chairman.

Bai Yuyan was so angry that she immediately threw her phone.

"Dad just passed away, and instead of coming to offer condolences, they run off to hold a board meeting?"

"Every single one of them is an ungrateful wretch!"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and reminded her:

"Sister Yan, this matter might not be so simple."

Bai Yuyan was stunned.

"You think there's a conspiracy?"

Chen Yang nodded.

"Looking at the equity structure, the minor shareholders can't pull off any tricks."

"It's highly likely that Zhang Li orchestrated this."

Bai Yuyan realized that it was indeed possible.

That woman has a venomous heart.

Her father passed away, and she didn't show up at all.

Now, the news of a board meeting is suddenly spreading.

Only she, relying on years of maneuvering, could wield such influence.

"Then... what should we do?"

Chen Yang softly comforted her.

"Don't worry, wait a moment, I'll go with you."

"Let's go see what kind of scheme that woman is trying to pull off."

When Bai Yuyan and Bai Yulong.

Dressed in mourning clothes, walked into the Yuntian Group conference room.

All the shareholders subconsciously lowered their heads, afraid to meet Bai Yuyan's cold gaze.

Zhang Li and Bai Yuzhu were conspicuously seated.

Furthermore, Zhang Li was seated in the highest position.

That was the Chairman's seat.

"Aunt Zhang, are you sitting in the wrong seat?"

"According to my father's wishes, the heir to the group is me, not you!"

"Now that he is gone, this position can only be taken by me."

Zhang Li gave a cold smile.

"Yuyan, don't rush."

"As for who should take the seat, let's first hear Lawyer Wang's opinion."

Saying this, she pointed a finger.

In a corner of the conference room sat a middle-aged man in a suit.

He pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

"Chairman Bai's intention before his death was to transfer 20% of the shares to Miss Bai."

"However."

"This document was not signed and executed in time."

"He has already passed away."

"Therefore, this document is void."

"Since Chairman Bai passed away suddenly and did not leave a will."

"According to legal regulations."

"Ms. Zhang Li, as Chairman Bai's lawful wife."

"Possesses the same inheritance rights as the two daughters and the son."

Upon hearing this.

Bai Yuyan's expression changed instantly.

In this way, Zhang Li and Bai Yuzhu now owned half of the inheritance rights.

If they then rallied the minor shareholders to their side.

The position of Chairman would most likely belong to her.

She truly hadn't expected it.

The industry her father had worked his entire life to establish.

In the end, it was going to benefit her!

Zhang Li smiled triumphantly.

"Yuyan, how about that?"

"Now that I'm sitting in this seat, you don't have any objections, right?"

Bai Yuyan was so angry that her beautiful face turned pale.

She tightly clenched her fists.

She didn't say a single word.

Chen Yang, however, was furious!

This woman was truly calculating!

She had endured for twenty years.

Finally succeeding in seizing control and rising to power.

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence Triggered!]

[Intelligence 4]: Bai Yuntian was killed by Zhang Li and Li Yao, and Bai Yuzhu is Li Changsheng's daughter.

Boom!

This piece of intelligence was absolutely shocking!

It instantly stunned Chen Yang!

He never dreamed.

That Bai Yuntian's death would be the joint work of Zhang Li and Li Yao.

Even more unexpected.

Was that Bai Yuzhu was not Bai Yuntian's daughter.

But Li Changsheng's offspring.

Li Yao and Bai Yuzhu were half-siblings!

No wonder, from beginning to end.

The relationship between Li Yao and Bai Yuzhu was exceptionally good.

And Zhang Li married Bai Yuntian.

Pretending for so long.

Was it possible that Li Changsheng had set up this scheme twenty years ago?

To seize control and take over the Bai family's assets in one fell swoop?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
