Su Nianxue furrowed her delicate brows slightly. The cooperation with Zhen Tian Group was crucial for the company's development.
If she refused now, she might completely lose this opportunity.
However, after recalling what Mu Feng had told her, she hesitated for a moment before making up her mind.
"Second Uncle, I must abide by what Grandmother said."
"Even on this matter, if I want to go to the company now, without Grandmother's permission, I won't go."
Su Guoqiang's eyes blazed with fury. "Does the current situation still require asking your grandmother's permission?"
"The company is at a critical juncture where its very survival is at stake. All our business partners are clamoring to terminate their cooperation. Zhen Tian Group is the only one who can save our company, but they specifically requested to see you."
"At this crucial juncture, if you don't go, and something happens to the company, you will be held responsible."
"Can you bear that responsibility?"
A cold sneer appeared on Su Nianxue's face. "Second Uncle, aren't you saying it backwards?"
"You are the current person in charge of the company. What does any problem that arises have to do with me? I am at home, reflecting on my mistakes."
"Grandmother personally gave the order, and you also guaranteed her that you could manage the company well. This is just like what you told me a few years ago when I took over the company."
She vividly recalled that period, where she was forced to read a self-criticism statement in front of all the company shareholders and employees.
During that time, everyone in the company was watching her with amusement.
The reason for all this was the constant obstruction from within the family, as they did not want her to smoothly take over the company.
If it weren't for her grandfather's will supporting her belief, she definitely wouldn't have persisted until now.
Su Guoqiang said angrily, "If you weren't intentionally undermining things behind the scenes, such a situation might not have occurred. As long as those business partners continue to cooperate with us, even without Zhen Tian Group, I can smoothly lead the company back on track."
"Second Uncle, speaking requires evidence!"
"Do you have any proof?"
This question left Su Guoqiang speechless. "Then you can't just stand by and watch the company decline, or even go bankrupt, can you?"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave. Instead of wasting your breath here, you'd be better off thinking of ways to solve the problem."
Su Nianxue finished speaking and prepared to return to her room.
Just then, the voice of Old Mrs. Su sounded from outside the door.
"Nianxue, it was Grandmother's mishandling that led to the current severe consequences. The company still needs you to support it. This is the hard work your grandfather left behind. Now, we need you to come forward and preside over the situation."
Old Mrs. Su wore a strained smile, but inwardly, she was incredibly annoyed.
Even she had personally visited the company, yet those business partners still ignored her, their sole focus being to break off cooperation. Zhen Tian Group, in particular, didn't even give her a proper look.
Helpless, she could only come to find Su Nianxue.
Originally, she had intended for Su Guoqiang to invite her. After the current crisis was resolved, she would resume the previous punishment, or even extend Su Nianxue's confinement for her audacity in leaving and interfering with company matters.
However, her plan had failed.
When Su Nianxue saw her grandmother, she had already understood some things, and her heart felt a slight pang.
Being naturally intelligent, she also understood Mu Feng's intention in asking her to stay home.
At this moment, a bitter smile appeared on her face. "Grandmother, since you have so much faith in Second Uncle, why are you asking me to resolve this major crisis in his place?"
"Perhaps I cannot solve it either. After all, those business partners already had some conflict with me before and wanted to break off cooperation."
"Even if I went, it wouldn't solve the problem. Besides, with Mu Feng here now, I feel that the company is no longer my sole focus. Perhaps I'd rather live a peaceful life with him."
"I can sell you the shares Grandpa left me right now."
She was testing the waters.
After saying this, she noticed her grandmother's expression turn extremely displeased.
When Su Guoqiang heard this, he instantly flew into a rage. "Su Nianxue, are you really disregarding our Su family for that stray dog?"
"Don't you forget your grandfather's will."
"How much your grandfather trusted you, entrusting the Su Group to you before his death in front of so many people."
"But look at you now, your mind is completely clouded by that bastard."
Su Nianxue took a few deep breaths, her expression turning ice-cold. "Isn't this the result you all wanted?"
"What I want is a complete Su Group, not one that is on the brink of collapse," Su Guoqiang said furiously, his words utterly unrestrained.
He continued to curse in his anger, "I think you're just a cheap slut. If you can secure the cooperation with Zhen Tian Group, it must be because you have some inappropriate relationship with their young master."
"There were rumors before that you spent several days with that philandering wastrel in a hotel. I'm afraid you've long been used goods."
"Are you afraid no one will want you, so you found that bastard?"
These words were vicious.
Su Nianxue's face flushed red with anger, her body trembling slightly.
Old Mrs. Su remained silent, but her eyes conveyed the same sentiment.
"Do you think you're being wronged?"
"If you did those things, are you afraid people will talk?"
"You're playing the saint while being a whore," Su Guoqiang sneered.
But just as he finished speaking, a cold voice echoed from outside the door.
"Are you seeking death?"
Mu Feng strode into the villa hall.
Upon seeing this figure, all of Su Nianxue's anger transformed into grievances, her eyes becoming slightly misty.
Su Guoqiang turned his head. When he saw Mu Feng, a flicker of fear appeared in his eyes.
His gaze was filled with unbridled rage, especially recalling the matters of the company. He was certain that Mu Feng was behind most of it.
This was done to prevent him from successfully taking over the Su Group.
"You say I picked up someone else's worn-out shoe, and you thought that slut could remain pure for you for seven years…"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Mu Feng suddenly swung a palm.
The two of them were still two to three meters apart.
But Su Guoqiang was as if struck forcefully across the face by an invisible hand.
He spun like a top and flew out, crashing directly into the nearby coffee table.
Shards of the shattered coffee table pierced his body. As he slid across the ground, shocking bloody wounds appeared.
"Speak, how do you want to die?" Mu Feng's voice was as sharp and biting as the midwinter chill.
