"Dad, don't worry. I'll find a way to contact the Li family later and have them send someone to treat you."
Su Shiwei naturally thought the same way, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time. However, he didn't show his inner joy on his face, instead showing concern for Su Yuanshan's health.
The Li family he mentioned was a renowned medical family in Long Country.
Li Gu Yi, the head of the Li family, was a titan in Long Country and even the global medical community, often hailed as a divine doctor of this era!
"We'll talk about the treatment later."
Su Yuanshan gave Su Shiwei a deep look, as if he could see through Su Shiwei's pretense. Only when Su Shiwei became somewhat uneasy did he continue, "Due to my poor health, I have decided to resign as the Chairman of Su Group!"
Hearing Su Yuanshan's words again, even with Su Shiwei's deep composure, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but he remained silent this time.
Not only him, but Xia Hong, Su Wu, and Su Li also looked delighted.
Among them, the siblings Su Wu and Su Li sneered at Jiang Wuming, as if telling him: If you know what's good for you, get out now, before my dad kicks you out!
However—
The next moment.
The smiles on the faces of Su Shiwei's family of four instantly froze.
"I have decided to let Shiyun succeed me as the Chairman of Su Group!"
Su Yuanshan spoke again, his voice not loud, but like a bolt from the blue, echoing in everyone's ears.
"Uh..."
Su Shijie was stunned.
He had even prepared to flatter Su Shiwei just now!
Su Shiqin was also stunned.
Although he was detached from worldly affairs and didn't want to fight for power or profit, he hadn't expected that Su Yuanshan's successor would be Su Shiyun!
Even if they were like this, what about Su Shiwei's family of four?
At this moment, not a trace of happiness or joy could be found on the faces of Su Shiwei's family of four; all that was left was disbelief!
They stared at Su Yuanshan with wide eyes, as if asking: How is it possible for you to let Su Shiyun succeed you?
"Shiyun majored in finance in college. After graduation, she returned to Guishan and joined the Liu family's company. Later, she was responsible for the operation of all of the Liu family's businesses, causing the Liu family to stop its decline and demonstrating excellent business acumen, accumulating rich experience in company management and operation. If it weren't for the Zheng family's retaliation, Shiyun would have been able to make the Liu family's business flourish."
Su Yuanshan took in everyone's expressions and then spoke again, "I believe Shiyun can certainly serve well as the Chairman of Su Group."
"Dad, the Liu family's business is in no way comparable to Su Group. She's so young, how can she be Chairman?"
Xia Hong was the first to lose her composure and questioned him.
"Grandpa, I object to your decision—what qualifications does Su Shiyun have to be the Chairman of Su Group?"
Su Wu also spoke, directly and unequivocally opposing it.
"Yes, Dad, sister-in-law is right. Shiyun is too young and doesn't understand Su Group's business at all, making her completely unsuitable to succeed you as Chairman."
Su Shijie also chimed in, directly supporting Su Shiwei, "On the other hand, Big Brother has been the general manager for many years, knows the company inside out, and has many resources. He is the most suitable candidate to succeed you."
Su Shiqin and Jiang Rong, the couple, habitually remained silent.
"Dad, I believe that having Shiyun take over is unreasonable and will bring disaster to Su Group."
Su Shiwei also spoke. He didn't mention himself but directly attacked Su Shiyun, "Everyone knows that Su Group is currently facing difficulties. All our partners have canceled cooperation with us and are suing us. The company's market value has shrunk by eighty percent.
In such circumstances, with Shiyun as Chairman, what will she rely on to turn the situation around?
Can she make those partners continue to cooperate with us? Can she make the stock price rise?"
"Can you?"
Su Yuanshan turned his gaze to Su Shiwei and retorted.
"—"
Su Shiwei's mouth hung open, speechless.
Su Group had encountered troubles one after another. Apart from Su Yuanshan personally contacting people and resolving issues, Su Shiwei had also tried to use his resources to solve the problems.
However, neither of them had solved Su Group's problems to date!
"Shiwei, I gave you a chance, but you did not help Su Group solve the problems," Su Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
"I..."
Su Shiwei could not refute, so he changed his tune, "Dad, with your and my prestige in the group, our industry connections, extensive life experience, and company management experience, we still can't solve the problem. Shiyun has nothing, how can she possibly solve the problem?"
This time, Su Yuanshan remained silent.
Because, deep down, he also felt that Su Shiyun was almost incapable of solving the problems Su Group was currently facing and leading it out of its predicament.
He merely believed that handing over Su Group to Su Shiyun was more reliable than handing it over to his other three sons, and even if it declined, it would be at a slower pace.
"Dad, I strongly oppose your proposal, but it's not because I want to be the Chairman of Su Group myself, but for the sake of the Su family and the overall situation of Su Group!"
Seeing that Su Yuanshan was silent, Su Shiwei's confidence surged, "Of course, if Shiyun can make the company's stock price recover to fifty percent of what it was before the incident, or get the partners to continue cooperating with us, then I will support her as Chairman!"
Su Yuanshan frowned.
After Su Group encountered problems, he personally visited those pharmaceutical companies. Regardless of whether he pleaded or offered concessions, they insisted on terminating cooperation and filing lawsuits.
In such a situation, how could Su Shiyun possibly change the minds of those pharmaceutical companies?
And if those pharmaceutical companies insisted on terminating cooperation and suing Su Group, the stock price of Su Group would be even less likely to rise, and even less likely to recover to fifty percent of its peak market value!
"My sister can do it!"
Then, just as Su Yuanshan fell silent, Jiang Wuming suddenly spoke.
The sudden voice caused everyone, including Su Yuanshan and Su Shiyun, to be taken aback.
Swish, swish, swish...
Immediately, everyone turned their gaze to Su Shiyun, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Su Yuanshan's heart stirred, and he asked with anticipation, "Shiyun, can you do it?"
"Grandpa, I will do my utmost and strive not to disappoint you!"
Although Su Shiyun had no confidence in her heart, feeling the anticipation in Su Yuanshan's gaze, she hardened her heart and said.
"Shiyun, this is not about trying your best. It's about if you can achieve just one of these points, we will all agree to you becoming the Chairman of Su Group!"
Su Shiwei stated his position, he couldn't easily give up the opportunity to succeed.
"Big Brother is right," Su Shijie quickly chimed in.
"Grandpa, if Su Shiyun cannot do either of the two things my father mentioned, and you still want her to be the Chairman of Su Group, then I will withdraw from the Su family and sever ties with the Su family!"
Su Wu directly issued an ultimatum, his tone resolute.
"Su Wu, you..."
Su Yuanshan's expression changed, filled with both anger and worry.
Su Wu possessed the strength of a five-star martial artist, and was currently serving in the Sujiang Military Department. He was the pride of the Su family and their future reliance!
If Su Wu left the Su family, it would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the Su family!
"Su Wu, what if my sister succeeds?"
Just as Su Yuanshan was angry and worried, Jiang Wuming narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wu.
"Uh..."
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words, everyone was startled.
Including Su Yuanshan, all eyes once again focused on Su Shiyun, as if asking: What possible way could she have to achieve those two things?
Facing everyone's scrutiny, Su Shiyun felt uneasy, looking at Jiang Wuming with unspoken words.
She was willing to try her best not to disappoint Su Yuanshan, but she had no confidence in her heart!
"If Su Shiyun can do it, all of us will agree to her becoming the Chairman of Su Group!"
Su Wu spoke, following his father Su Shiwei's wishes, then added, "If she cannot, not only will she not be the Chairman of Su Group, but you must get out of the Su family!"
"Su Wu, you are going too far!"
Su Shiyun's eyes widened in anger. She could give up being the Chairman of Su Group, but she would not allow Su Wu to force Jiang Wuming out of the Su family.
"Agreed."
As Su Shiyun finished speaking, Jiang Wuming also said, "But if my sister succeeds, add a condition: you pack your bags and leave yourself. That would be a fair bet."
"Good!"
Su Wu sneered, as if he could already see Jiang Wuming being kicked out of the Su family.
"Then it's settled!"
Sensing Su Shiyun's unease, Su Shiwei, fearing Su Shiyun would go back on her word or Su Yuanshan would intervene, spoke first.
He didn't believe Su Shiyun could achieve those two things!
Not only him, but everyone else felt the same!
Even Su Shiyun herself felt the hope was slim!
"Sister, you can do it."
Jiang Wuming, sensing Su Shiyun's worry and unease, smiled and encouraged her.
