Chapter 1623: Conspiring

“Brother Nan, why are you scared now that Liu Huamei has left?” Liu Jifei looked at Liu Zhenan in puzzlement. “We have plenty of opportunities to make a fortune now that the Finance Department under your sole authority. Why aren’t you making a move?”

“Scared?” Liu Zhenan frowned. He then smiled, “Of course I know that there are plenty of opportunities to make money. But did you know that besides this enemy Liu Huamei, my brother Liu Zheqiao is also watching me covetously! When Liu Huamei was still here, we brothers had a temporary tacit agreement due to our shared hatred toward a common enemy. But now that Liu Huamei has been relocated, I’m the only one left among his competitors. Do you think that he won’t be eyeing me?”

“That’s true. How about we use some means to also make Liu Zheqiao stand aside?” Liu Jifei was only extremely respectful toward Liu Zhenan. For anybody else in the Liu Family, Liu Jifei never bothered with courtesy and called them directly by name. However, Liu Zhenan didn’t mind this as he hated those people as well.

“There’s no rush to deal with Liu Zheqiao,” Liu Zhenan shook his head and said. “He is way too far behind me. I’m still most worried about Liu Huamei!”

“Why, Brother Nan? Wasn’t Liu Huamei already sent away by the old man? Why are you still thinking about her? Can she still stir up something from Song Jiang?” Liu Jifei asked in confusion. In his opinion, Liu Huamei had already become an abandoned child of the Liu Family. There was no possibility of her returning to Song Jiang.

“That was what I thought at first,” Liu Zhenan frowned. He then said with some worry, “Jifei, think about it. How much did the old man favor Liu Huamei before this? He didn’t mind offending so many of the group’s people just to help Liu Huamei get the Financial Director position! But now, he repressed her just like that? Although he didn’t push her to rock bottom, it is still a demotion. Don’t you think that there’s something fishy about this?”

“Brother Nan, listening to your analysis, I’m starting to think that something is wrong,” Liu Jifei nodded thoughtfully. “Before this, I didn’t know much about the old man’s situation. Now that you’ve said so, this matter is really unusual. This contrast is a bit too great, right?”

“I only felt that this matter was strange after thinking about it for a few days. This contrast in treatment is indeed great, which is why I think that Liu Huamei is the biggest threat!” Liu Zhenan had started to calm down after his initial excitement. This kind of authority didn’t feel very good. He had to constantly guess the old man’s thoughts, and be wary of Liu Huamei’s resurgence and any problems that Liu Zheqiao might cause.

“Could it be that the old man is confused? Could he have given you the power just because you are his eldest grandson?” Liu Jifei thought for a moment and analyzed.

“Old and confused? Hmph!” Liu Zhenan sneered. “Anybody else in this group can be old and confused, but he can’t. If he’s confused, the group would have long been in chaos. How would it be so calm? However, the part where you said that I’m his eldest grandson is still possible. No matter how smart and capable Liu Huamei is, she is still a woman. She will have to marry out in the future. There’s no way that my grandfather would leave the Liu Family’s business in the hands of an outsider, right?”

“This is for sure. If I am Grandfather Liu, I will not leave such a huge business to a woman. Passing down to male descendants instead of female descendants has been the case since ancient times!” Liu Jifei said.

Liu Zhenan nodded, “Now, the thing I am most afraid of is that the old man is trying to catch me when my guard is down. He first relocates Liu Huamei, then cultivates her in secret, and finally lets her return with dominant power to the group’s headquarters out of nowhere.”

Liu Jifei’s initial indifferent expression turned serious after he heard Liu Zhenan’s words. “From this perspective, this Liu Huamei is indeed a huge trouble. If we don’t get rid of her, she will become a major problem!”

“That’s right, the old man has been crawling in the industry all his life. It’s impossible for him to simply do things,” Liu Zhenan said. “It’s still fine if the old man just wants to capture me when I have my guard down. We can just stick to the initial plan and dispose of Liu Huamei completely! What I’m afraid of is that the old man gave me such great power just to wait until I make a mistake when I become overconfident. Then, he will have an excuse to remove me from my position, and let others take office.”

“That shouldn’t be possible, right?” Liu Jifei’s heart shivered. He felt that what Liu Zhenan said was a little too insidious.

“Why isn’t it possible? The old man is capable of doing anything. You should know that the Jiangyan Group is the result of his lifetime’s worth of hard work. He may not wish for the Jiangyan Group to fall into the hands of someone with a different surname, but he will also not allow someone who can ruin the Jiangyan Group to dominate the overall situation!” Liu Zhenan sneered with a self-deprecating laugh when he said this. “I’m afraid that in the eyes of the old man, I am the kind of person who will damage public interests just for personal profit, right?”

“Damage public interests just for personal profit?” Liu Jifei disagreed. “The old man is not foolish. Brother Nan, now you’re just using your power to cultivate your confidant. You are temporarily doing things that harm the group, but that is to prepare for yourself when you take office in the future. Once you succeed in reaching the peak and become the helm of the Jiangyan Group, will you still do things that will harm the group’s interests?

“En, what you said makes some sense!” Liu Zhenan’s expression eased. He nodded, “I’m a lot more relieved after hearing you say that. But anyway, we’ll dispose of Liu Huamei first, then focus on Liu Zheqiao. This way, the old man can’t do much even if he is really trying to find my mistakes or catch me off-guard. I will be the only direct grandchild of the old man left as they would have both been taken down. If he doesn’t give me the group, who can he give it to?”

“Okay, Brother Nan. Let’s start implementing our plan?” Liu Jifei gritted his teeth and said. “Although we rushed the preparation a bit, there should be no problems. As long as our plan is proper, Liu Huamei will not be able to get away this time.”

“En, that plan should be implemented already. However, can we trust those people? Don’t let it be like the last time where Xu Xiaobin betrayed us. If things are ruined, you and I will both end up horribly!” Liu Zhenan hesitated for a while and warned. “The old man is probably waiting for us to embarrass ourselves!”

“Aren’t all the people we sent close confidants of Brother Nan?” Liu Jifei asked after he was stunned for a bit.

“They are indeed my people, but I can’t say that they are close confidants. There aren’t any whom I can trust a hundred percent like you.” Liu Zhenan waved his hand and said. “You also know that it is impossible for me to have too many interactions with the bottom tiers of this company. The only reason I introduced these people to you is to tell you that they can be used. As to whom should carry out this plan, it’s better for you to take control of it and choose the best fit.”

“En, I have also connected with a few people during this time. The deputy captain of the escort team is definitely trustworthy. His father has uremia and is waiting for a kidney transplant in the hospital. Not only does that surgery costs a huge amount of money, but the source of the kidney is also a huge problem. I have promised him that as long as he listens to instructions, we will not only settle the cost of the surgery, but we will also help him get a kidney!” Liu Jifei said. “Brother Nan, it is not too much for you to find a kidney donor, right? You won’t blame me for making promises in advance, right?”

“This is nothing. It’s just a matter of money,” Liu Zhenan said. “The key problem will arise if it were to be exposed that he was leading the team in performing the task. At that time, if others see us busy with his father’s matters, won’t they suspect us?”

“I have thought about this problem long ago!” Liu Jifei laughed. “Relax, Brother Nan. His father was previously an old employee of our Jiangyan Group. Speaking of his uremia, it was a hidden disease caused by uncovering a poisonous gas bomb back when he was digging the foundation of the group’s construction land. So, it’s a flexible scope as to whether our group gives him money to treat the disease. We can care; we can not care. It’s a matter of one word from you, Chairman Liu.”

“Oh? If that’s the case, it’ll be easy to do.” Liu Zhenan said. “Send his father to the best hospital and maintain his condition with the best medicine for now. As for the kidney donor, there’s no rush. I’ll contact people slowly. However, spread the word that I am sympathetic to employees who have worked hard for the company. Since they were hurt because of work, our group will take full responsibility until the end.”

“Excellent thought! Excellent thought indeed!” Liu Jifei flattered him after listening. “This way, others will not be able to say anything, but will instead say that Chairman Liu is a kind and good leader. This will cause your reputation to increase among the employees in this group. When the time comes for the old man to choose a successor, he will have to consider public opinion. Secondly, if this matter happens before our plan is enacted, nobody can make a fuss about it.”

“That’s what I mean, but there is one more point. You must think of the right reasons. Otherwise, others will still have reasons to doubt us,” Liu Zhenan nodded as he said.

“Oh?” Liu Jifei also thought for a moment after listening to Liu Zhenan’s words. He then said, “Brother Nan’s meaning is that since we have given him treatment for his family for free, what other reason is there for him to carry out our plan? Is that so? ”

“That’s right. There needs to be a motive for everything. If he has no motive to carry out our plan, it will eventually involve us even if he runs away. Although there’s no evidence, there is no need for any evidence if the old man were to be suspicious of someone,” Liu Zhenan said.

“It’s really a problem then,” Liu Jifei nodded and said. “Let me consider carefully to see if there is any win-win solution.”

“In this period, everything needs to be carefully done!” Liu Zhenan sighed.

“I got it!” Liu Jifei was indeed a sinister and insidious villain. He soon came up with a solution. This was also why Liu Zhenan valued him. “Brother Nan, you see, buying and selling kidneys is illegal. Although there are many underground exchanges where everyone has a mutual agreement, it is still not allowed according to the law. So, we can do this. Although we tell the deputy captain that we can provide free treatment for his father, we will refuse to help him get a kidney from the black market. You will say that our Jiangyan Group will never take part in illegal businesses. This way, we can hide the conflict between him and you. Then, I will let him spread the word that Brother Nan is only making a false promise to help treat his father. Brother Nan isn’t sincere in it, and this and that… Hehe, that’ll do…”

“Not bad, Jifei. You really have the brains!” Liu Zhenan was delighted upon he

bcaring this. “This idea is seamless. Then, no matter how wise the old man is, he won’t doubt us.”

“That’s right. However, Brother Nan is now in full power of the group. We need to be more secure. Under this deciding situation, it’s better for you to start respecting the wise and give out warm greetings to all employees in the group. First, you can buy the people’s hearts. Second, by the time the matter of you giving the deputy captain’s father free treatment for his uremia is exposed, there will be no sense of abruptness.” Liu Jifei reminded.

“Okay, we’ll do as you say!” Liu Zhenan and Liu Jifei finalized the plan, and their hearts were unusually cheerful. “I’ll treat you tonight. Let’s go out to party!”

“Haha, if you insist!” Liu Jifei did not refuse. The more he and Liu Zhenan went to those feasting and pleasure-seeking places, the closer the relationship between the two people would become! Liu Jifei had now bet his whole future on Liu Zhenan. One day, when Liu Zhenan smoothly became the Chairman, Liu Jifei would be his biggest contributor.

The next day, Liu Zhenan seemed to humble his previous imperious attitude. He listened extremely carefully and even adopted the suggestions and advice of his subordinates.

Not only that, Liu Zhenan had also launched several employee benefits planning projects. In a useless warehouse in the basement of the company building, the construction of an employee activity center had started. Billiard rooms, cafes, and leisure chess and card rooms were all available for employees to have fun during their lunch breaks.

Liu Zhenan’s plan quickly received unanimous praise from Chairman Liu Jiangyan. These were all things that Liu Jiangyan wanted to do, but they had been delayed because of some trivial matters. He was then troubled by the power struggle between his children and grandchildren, and he lost all intentions to do anything else.

Seeing Liu Zhenan’s transformation, Grandfather Liu Jiangyan’s heart wavered for the first time. He was initially disappointed with this grandson, but he didn’t expect that without the pressure of Liu Huamei, this grandson’s way of doing things had a fundamental change!

Can it really be that he started thinking about the company’s interests wholeheartedly because he has no more competitors? Liu Jiangyan decided to observe a little longer. if Liu Zhenan had really changed, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give him the group. After all, as Liu Huamei was a woman, she couldn’t stay single for life, right? Liu Jiangyan still didn’t want to see the Jiangyan Group in the hands of someone with a different surname.

“This grandson facade is too tiring. Every day, I have to smile and greet every time I face my subordinates. I’ve smiled so much that my face has cramped!” Liu Zhenan rubbed his face as he muttered and cursed in a limousine.

“Brother Nan, it is worthwhile to endure now so we can achieve great things later,” Liu Jifei persuaded as he drove.

“What in the world. That fool surnamed Zhang from the Planning Department really thinks he is a character. He never dared to even squeak when I pointed at his nose and scolded him before this. Now that my attitude has changed for the better, he’s started to climb all over me. Who does he think he is? I didn’t agree with his plan, but he still wasted so much of my time. If this was before, I would have long kicked him out. Now, I have to patiently lay out the pros and cons for him!” Liu Zhenan was about to explode today. It was the first time he felt his authority being challenged. He was extremely upset.

“We can just let that man surnamed Zhang be arrogant for a while. We will be the first to remove him when the Jiangyan Group has become something in Brother Nan’s pocket!” Liu Jifei went along with Liu Zhenan. “For now, we can just let him be cocky for a few days.”

“En, I remember all those who dared to question me. What the- I will make them pay by then!” Liu Zhenan snorted and said. “Jifei, look for a book and write the names of these people in it. I want to show them who is the decision-maker in the Jiangyan Group!”

“Relax, Brother Nan. I have remembered them for you.” Liu Jifei patted his back and said proudly.

He had just cursed about it, but Liu Zhenan appeared in the company with a smile on his face the next day. He was friendly and approachable as always. Regardless of the people or matters he was dealing with, he always showed a kind attitude.

“Brother Liu, the front desk just called and said that an old employee of the group is suffering from uremia because of his previous work. His son brought him to the company to ask for compensation. What do you think about this? Should I ask security to kick them out? “Liu Zhenan’s secretary Little Xia shook her sexy waist as she walked into Liu Zhenan’s office. This Little Xia was actually Liu Zhenan’s lover. She also knew about Liu Zhenan’s affairs, which was why she unscrupulously talked about his usual means in handling these matters.

She could also be regarded as Liu Zhenan’s confidant. At least she wouldn’t betray Liu Zhenan. She was also very clear that she was Liu Zhenan’s woman. If Liu Zhenan were to take office, she wouldn’t benefit only a little as she was also a meritorious person. Even if Liu Zhenan wanted to get rid of her, the lightest compensation he could offer was letting her be the general manager of the company below.

Nevertheless, Liu Zhenan did not tell her his plan this time. When it comes to matters like this, it was better for fewer people to know. He was afraid that there would be too many mouths. If word were to spread, it would be over for him.

“No. Are you trying to give me trouble? Haven’t you seen that I have changed into a people first president these days?” Liu Zhenan stared at Little Xia. He then said, “Let’s go. Come downstairs with me, we’ll welcome this old employee personally!”

“Yes, Brother Liu…” Little Xia didn’t dare to disobey and agreed quickly, but she was a little puzzled in her heart. “Brother Liu, why did you change suddenly? You’re even willing to care about unimportant matters. The group still isn’t yours now. Isn’t it better for other people to handle this shabby matter?”
