Chapter 228 - "You aren't even good enough to carry my shoes for me." (3)

On the night of March 6, after Fang JunRong had finished her work of the day and was about to head home, she received a call from Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang had her went over to his place and mentioned something about wanting her to be a witness of sort.

Fang JunRong looked at the time and it was already 8:30 PM. She wouldn’t even get to his place till at least 10 PM. That being said, Uncle Zhang was never an unreasonable one, so whatever it was that he needed her for must be very urgent.

She thought about it for a little bit and said to Jiang DeXian, “It looks like you are not done for the day yet.”

Jiang DeXian smiled slightly. “I make good money, so I am prepared to work overtime any time.”

Fang JunRong nodded satisfactorily. The two of them walked downstairs and drove over to the Zhang’s.

They finally arrived at the Zhang’s 15 minutes to 10 PM. All the lights were on on the inside and there was already someone waiting for Fang JunRong at the front.

Jiang DeXian took a step back and walked about 30 cm or so behind Fang JunRong.

By the time they had walked inside the living room, Fang JunRong noticed a big crowd gathering there already, including Zhang ZhiSu and Zhang ZhiYang. Both of them surrounded by a few others and they were starting at each other. The atmosphere was very intense.

When Zhang ZhiYang saw Fang JunRong, he was taken aback a little and then he asked, “How come you are here?”

Fang JunRong replied indifferently, “Uncle Zhang invited me over to be a witness. What is going on here… ?”

Zhang ZhiYang looked back at the very relaxed Zhang ZhiSu. He had no idea why Zhang ZhiSu appeared so full of confident but he said, “We just feel that cousin is simply not good enough for the role of the leader of the clan and, as such, we would like to ask him to resign from the position.” He was surprised by Fang JunRong’s appearance but he wasn’t going to alter his plans.

Zhang ZhiSu looked around the room and his voice was so nonchalant that nobody would tell his mood right now. “Do you all agree with what he just said?”

A man from next to Zhang ZhiYang stepped up and said, “The capable goes up, the mediocre steps aside, and the incapable goes down. This has always been the law of nature. You are not bad, ZhiSu. It is just that ZhiYang is more capable. We trust that the Zhang’s could go higher and further under his leadership. Don’t you worry. We’ve known ZhiYang since he was a child. He was a generous and accepting one. Even if you had stepped aside, you will still be his cousin and he will continue to treat you with respect.”

Zhang ZhiYang was not to underestimated being able to bring so many to his side in such a short amount of time. In addition, Zhang ZhiSu might seem like a mild one but he was, in reality, very domineering. Everything he said, went in the Zhang’s and none of those from any of the side branches were able to benefit even a little. It was only natural that they sided with Zhang ZhiYang.

Fang JunRong was amazed by what was going on. That was a coup to overturn the power if there was one. Per the news that she had heard, White Jade Cream and Detoxification Pills were to be launched to market in less than a week. Would Zhang ZhiSu really lose his power now?

Zhang ZhiSu said mildly. “It would seem that my cousin had offered up a lot of perks to Uncle De and the others.”

Uncle De, the man who stepped up, looked awkward for a little bit before he said again righteously, “That is still better than you offering up the perks to some outsiders. You would rather benefit an outside than others within the family. We have had enough of you already.”

He pointed at Fang JunRong and said angrily. “If it wasn’t for you, how could she had become one of the largest shareholders of Goayuan Corporation? So, what is it? Is it that pretty face that you are after?”

Fang JunRong: Oh boy. How did she get drag into this out of the blue? She was strictly a melon-eater here. Why couldn’t she just be a peaceful bystander?

Oh, dang!!

Zhang ZhiYang only wished that he could somehow gag Uncle De so he would stop talking. This must be what they called a pig teammate.* Fang JunRong had already been keep her distance with him and, now, Uncle De, of everything that he could do, decided to straight up offend her? Looking at the smile that wasn’t a smile on her, his heart sank some more.

Looking at the very emotional Uncle De, the indifferent look on Fang JunRong right now oddly resembled the look on Zhang ZhiSu.

“What is it that give you that confidence? Your old man body odor? Your male pattern baldness? Or that barking that could only belong to a loser?

“Let me tell you, you will be an eyesore even if you are to carry my shoes for me.”
