Fang Corporation, CEO's Office.
"Mr. Fang, my friend mentioned that the chairman of Zi Qiang Financial Group did go to Wang Corporation and broke Wan Dongming's hands. He's already been sent to the First People's Hospital for treatment," Secretary Lin Xiaoqi said as she entered and addressed Fang Yanxi, who was seated in her office chair.
Fang Yanxi frowned and put down the documents in her hand. "Last month, didn't we have a cooperative overseas investment project with Zi Qiang Financial Group?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiaoqi nodded and said, "The manager of the market department, Fang Kangning, was responsible for that investment. However, according to the assessment, there are still many issues with that investment project, and we are currently evaluating it."
"Bring me all the assessment materials," Fang Yanxi said.
"Okay."
Lin Xiaoqi nodded, turned, and went to handle it. Fang Yanxi continued to read the documents...
Meanwhile, at Zi Qiang Financial Group.
"Young Master Fang, why have you come personally?"
In the chairman's office, Shen Ziqiang personally welcomed Fang Kangning in. Shen Junjie inside sniffed, raised his left hand, and greeted, "Young Master Fang, come and sit."
Fang Kangning walked over and looked at Shen Junjie's right hand. "How is it, have you vented your anger yet?"
"Haha, I broke both of his second brother's hands," Shen Junjie laughed heartily.
"That's good. I'll find an opportunity later to vent your anger again," Fang Kangning nodded.
Shen Ziqiang handed over the overseas investment project document from his desk. "Young Master Fang, how has your company assessed our cooperation project? Time waits for no one. If we delay for another two days, the situation in the United States will change, and it will not be suitable to proceed."
Fang Kangning nodded confidently. "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I'll have my father confirm it later, and then both our families will invest in this project together."
"Good, good. With your word, Young Master Fang, I am relieved," Shen Ziqiang said happily.
He had leveraged his son's relationship with Fang Kangning to connect with Fang Corporation for this overseas investment project.
Fang Corporation is a first-class group in the business world of Huadu. If he could board this large ship together, Shen Ziqiang could still be protected even if he suffered losses.
Just then, the office phone rang. Shen Ziqiang greeted Fang Kangning before answering. "Hello, who is it?"
"Fang Yanxi, the CEO of Fang Corporation!"
It was Fang Yanxi, sitting in her own office, who was calling him. He held the project documents and asked, "Are you Mr. Shen?"
"Yes, I am Shen Ziqiang."
Shen Ziqiang was surprised that the person calling him was Fang Yanxi, who had recently been hailed as the "Iceberg CEO" in the Huadu business community.
"The foreign investment project your company discussed with us, I have reviewed the assessment materials, and they are not qualified."
Fang Yanxi's tone was very calm, but it carried a commanding aura. "Therefore, our company will not cooperate with you on this project. Do not come here again in the future."
"What!"
Shen Ziqiang was shocked, but by the time he reacted, Fang Yanxi had already hung up the phone.
"Dad, who was it?" Shen Junjie asked.
Shen Ziqiang turned his head and glared at Fang Kangning. "Young Master Fang, it was your company's Vice President, Fang Yanxi. She just said she refused to cooperate with me on this investment project!"
"What."
Fang Kangning shot up, his eyes wide open.
He had just agreed with Shen Ziqiang, and now Fang Yanxi had refused on behalf of the company. Wasn't this slapping his face in public?
"Damn Fang Yanxi, why is she interfering with the project I negotiated?"
Fang Kangning's face was filled with anger. He said to Shen Ziqiang, "Mr. Shen, don't worry. I'll go back and talk to her right now. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
"Good, good, thank you, Young Master Fang."
Shen Ziqiang's heart was heavy. He still didn't understand why Fang Yanxi had suddenly interfered with this investment project.
In fact, the upper management of Fang Corporation was a bit complicated. Although the company was truly managed by the patriarch of the Fang family, Fang Shoushan, there were two CEOs in the company. One was Fang Yanxi, who had just returned from abroad.
The other was Fang Kangning's father, Fang Xingteng, who was also Fang Yanxi's second uncle.
As for Fang Yanxi's father, Fang Guowen, he did not enter the business world. Instead, he became a scholar. He was a famous figure in the calligraphy and painting art circles of Huadu, and the president of the Huadu Literati Association!
Therefore, day-to-day matters of Fang Corporation were basically handled by Fang Yanxi and her second uncle, Fang Xingteng. Only for important matters would Fang Shoushan make the decision.
"Dad, why would that Fang Yanxi get involved in this project? Isn't it up to Young Master Fang's father to decide?"
Shen Junjie was confused. This US investment project was very important to their financial group. He had also put in a lot of effort to pull Fang Corporation, that large ship, through Fang Kangning.
"I don't know."
Shen Ziqiang frowned. He was also very puzzled. From Fang Yanxi's tone on the phone just now, he could tell that her attitude was very firm and decisive. She refused to cooperate with him and did not give him any room for maneuver.
"Could it be because of Wan Yunting?"
Suddenly, Shen Ziqiang's eyes widened. When he investigated Wan Yunting's social connections before, he had heard of Fang Yanxi. They were boyfriend and girlfriend during college!
It was precisely because of Fang Yanxi that Chen Tao had clashed with Wan Yunting!
After all, he had broken Wan Yunting's second brother's hands this morning, and now he received a call from Fang Yanxi. This made Shen Ziqiang suspect that Fang Yanxi might have refused to cooperate with him because of Wan Yunting.
"I'll ask Chen Tao."
Saying that, Shen Junjie called Chen Tao and explained the situation.
"How could this be!"
Chen Tao, who had also returned to his own company, was shocked when he heard this analysis.
Since he was going to Fang Corporation to sign a cooperation contract with Fang Yanxi that afternoon, he happened to tell Fang Yanxi about Shen Ziqiang and the others breaking Wan Yunting's second brother's hands. Could she really refuse to cooperate with Shen Ziqiang because of Wan Yunting?
Chen Tao immediately felt disheartened. If this was true, he couldn't understand why Fang Yanxi still cared so much about Wan Yunting.
"Mr. Shen, don't worry. With Young Master Fang here, your investment cooperation will definitely not fall through," Chen Tao could only comfort Shen Ziqiang.
"I hope so," Shen Ziqiang replied and hung up the call.
Suddenly, he began to vaguely realize that he might have been used as a pawn by Chen Tao!
Fang Corporation, Fang Yanxi's Office.
"Manager Fang, you can't go in..."
Secretary Lin Xiaoqi's voice of obstruction was heard from outside. But as the office door was pushed open forcefully, Fang Kangning walked in, furious. "Fang Yanxi, what do you mean? Why did you refuse the project with Zi Qiang Financial Group without discussing it with me? I negotiated that deal!"
Facing his cousin, Fang Yanxi remained calm, without raising her head, and said calmly, "According to my assessment, the risk of the overseas investment project is too high, so I refused."
"Too risky, which investment isn't? Why didn't you refuse others, but specifically mine?" Fang Kangning pressed his hands on the desk and glared at Fang Yanxi in front of him. "You're just targeting me!"
Fang Yanxi looked up, her eyes looking at him indifferently. "I said, the risk is too high and it's not suitable for investment."
"Bang!"
Fang Kangning slammed the table heavily. "Fang Yanxi, don't think you can disregard me just because you're the CEO. This company isn't run by you alone. I, Fang Kangning, am determined to have the investment cooperation with Zi Qiang Financial Group. Just you wait!"
After speaking, Fang Kangning slammed the door and left. Fang Yanxi didn't even bat an eyelid. She had always opposed this cousin of hers, who put on a respectable appearance, from taking the position of CEO of the family group.
From Fang Kangning's perspective, why could Fang Yanxi be CEO just because she returned from abroad? He also returned from abroad, so why was he only a manager?
Therefore, he was unconvinced and had always been at odds with Fang Yanxi.
But from beginning to end, Fang Yanxi had never taken Fang Kangning seriously.
Because the real threat to her was his father, Fang Xingteng!
