Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1118 - 1119: Unwelcome True Daughter 62

Zhang Yu had not fully recovered from the bombshell news of Song Ziming’s complete departure from Song’s when she received a call from Fu Jie.

Fu Jie briefly mentioned his plan to leave Fu Company: Though this hasn’t spread widely yet, I’d guess it will soon, maybe by tomorrow.

Ah? Zhang Yu’s mouth dropped: What’s going on lately, Song’s Crown Prince isn’t returning as the President of Song’s anymore.

Zhang Yu found it particularly interesting and laughed: Now it’s your turn, even as the President of Fu Corporation, you’re leaving.

Fu Jie chuckled: Yes, everyone thinks I’m the President of Fu’s, how could I ever want to leave?

Fu Jie recalled the shares he held: But they know that even as the President of Fu’s, I only have 3% of the shares, which were left to me by my late father.

Oh no, really? Zhang Yu knew Old Master Fu hadn’t released his shares yet, but since Fu’s parent company isn’t publicly listed, it’s a typical family business, like Song’s, so Zhang Yu didn’t know how the shares were distributed.

Fu Jie is the legitimate grandson and was raised by the Old Master since childhood, unlike other grandchildren; he should have received some shares.

Yet, this guy only has 3% of the shares, still left by his deceased father.

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but tease: As Fu’s President, you’re in quite a pickle; Song Ziming, the Crown Prince, hasn’t stepped up, but his shareholdings exceed yours.

Fu Jie sighed: Yes, so who can believe it if the Old Master insinuates a trust in me, giving everyone the impression I’d receive shares.

Fu Jie reflected: I used to think that regardless of anything, the Old Master would see my hard work and contributions and surely give me some shares.

Fu Jie took a deep breath: My demands weren’t high, just comparable to my uncles’, but the outcome... Alas.

Zhang Yu suddenly became curious, in the past life, Fu Jie was always Fu’s President, how many shares did he hold then? Surely it wasn’t just 3%?

Why the huge change this time, Zhang Yu briefly reviewed, realizing her butterfly effect seemed quite powerful.

Forget it, it’s none of her concern since Fu Jie has decided to leave Fu’s.

Zhang Yu remembered something: If you leave, what about that project...

Fu Jie explained the reason for calling Zhang Yu: I informed grandpa that I’ll be taking the project with me.

No surprise in the outcome, Zhang Yu understood why Fu Jie was leaving Fu’s: That’s your leverage.

Zhang Yu was actually worried about something else: Will you take your original team if you leave Fu’s?

Fu Jie hummed affirmatively: Yes, they’re coming with me. Whoever takes over won’t prioritize them at Fu’s.

Fu Jie added: Besides, I don’t solely have stakes in Fu’s; I also invested in some companies abroad, which can fund this project.

Fu Jie took a deep breath: Would you be willing to continue the partnership?

Zhang Yu knew Fu Jie deliberately called to inform her of this, hinting at the question. She thought it over: Overall, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Zhang Yu: I just want to know Fu’s letting you take the project couldn’t have gone without conditions.

How could the calculating Old Master Fu just let Fu Jie off without laying traps?

Swiftly reacting, Fu Jie briefly mentioned the Old Master’s conditions: I said the maximum would be 20% of shares.

Fu Jie explained: I initially thought, since it’s the Fu Family, I could offer 30%.

Fu Jie: But as soon as the Old Master proposed 60%, I knew he still wasn’t letting go of his grip on me.

Fu Jie: I don’t want to end up like many company founders; the company succeeds, but I’m kicked out.

Zhang Yu pondered: Since the initial deal was with Fu’s affiliates, now that you’re taking the project away, I’ll have to discuss this with Fu’s.

Fu Jie sighed in relief, understanding Zhang Yu would likely continue the cooperation.

Zhang Yu: Without the Fu family members obstructing, the project should start swiftly, right?

Fu Jie muttered: It has to be quick; Song Ziming is also aiming for this project, with only an IT company in hand; he’ll surely push for an early launch of this project.

Fu Jie: At least he’s succeeded, owning a company, while I only have a project; I must succeed.

Fu Jie: Otherwise, I’d be a laughing stock, and even my cousins wouldn’t spare me.

Fu Jie: Like you did once, I have no retreat, just keep charging ahead.

Wow, Zhang Yu knew the internal family fights within the Fu’s were intense and couldn’t have imagined Fu Jie would say this, proving that in the past life, Fu Jie, who laughed last, didn’t have it all easy.

Forget it, don’t overthink; at least Fu Jie should get the project rolling, allowing her a successful investment opportunity.

Fu Jie’s departure from Fu’s and Old Master Fu once more taking the helm as President became a sensational scoop in the domestic corporate arena.

Everyone was busy speculating why Fu Jie would leave Fu’s; after all, he was already President, managing several listed companies with excellent performance, all functioning smoothly.

He even attended the foundation-stone laying ceremony for a listing company’s new factory earlier, speaking confidently about Fu’s long-term strategy, clearly showing a future plan for Fu’s.

But now, suddenly, he’s resigning from Fu’s; naturally, everyone is keen to dig into the reasons.

What shocked them more was that after leaving Fu’s, Fu Jie immediately founded a new energy company.

Several investment firms invested in it, notably absent was Fu’s, Fu Jie’s family company, which didn’t invest.

This news further convinced everyone that major changes had occurred within Fu’s, with Fu Jie’s uncles and aunties starting a revolt, forcing Fu Jie to leave after his failure.

What’s more, Fu’s didn’t fund his project; it’s known that when Fu family members venture out, Fu’s usually invests a little, claiming affiliation with a Fu subsidiary outside.

Yet, when Fu Jie, the former President, launched a venture, there was no investment, prompting everyone to uncover the truth.

Currently, Fu Jie is stressed; initially, the Old Master wanted more shares, but after negotiations, they settled on 25%, given the Old Master invoked his identity.

Fu Jie was infuriated: When I was registering the company, my uncle phoned me, saying Fu’s wouldn’t invest.

Fu Jie: I called the Old Master, he said uncles and aunts opposed, claiming the project’s low success rate.

Fu Jie was fuming: Initially, they all fought to gain more shares, even dragging him into it; if I refused, I’d be labeled an unfilial son.

Fu Jie: When my uncles and aunts objected, he backed down; didn’t mention he insisted on investing.

Zhang Yu initially thought Fu’s not investing was the Old Master’s intention of preventing future Presidents from overshadowing Fu Jie, for his grandson’s sake.

Never imagined it’d be like this; Zhang Yu could only say that all sorts of people exist.
