18: The overlooked key
Bang——
The door was slammed shut, and Lan Zijun's heart felt like it had been sealed shut too.
How did this look like a couple about to step into the wedding hall?!
Qian Boda acted like a hands-off Boss, not caring about anything, as if this was Lan Zijun's wedding alone.
Lan Zijun always maintained a cold, unapproachable demeanor towards everyone. Having weathered major storms, she wasn't like a young girl who fretted over gains and losses.
But with Qian Boda acting like this, Lan Zijun could already foresee in her heart that their future marriage was destined to end in tragedy.
But...
Things had come to this point; besides marrying Qian Boda, there was no other outcome.
...
Let's talk about something else.
In the office, there was already an atmosphere of gloom and despair.
Although everyone spoke indignantly, they all knew in their hearts that their dismissal was irreversible, not even if Lan Zijun came in person.
Because it was obvious, Human Resources was originally one of the most crucial departments in a company, and it was only right for the Boss to hold personnel power.
But it was clear that Human Resources was already in Qian Boda's hands, meaning the transfer of company power was steadily underway.
Moreover, even if it were reversed, what good would it do?
The reason Far View (Yuantu) was Far View (Yuantu) was because under Lan Zijun's leadership, the entire company had a relaxed yet ambitious atmosphere.
Not to mention that Far View (Yuantu)'s benefits were more generous than those in the same industry, just the relaxed management made everyone feel attached to the company.
Although Lan Zijun was very serious about work matters, that was just an attitude.
In reality, although the company also pursued things like KPIs, it hadn't formed a fanatical KPI culture. When employees were tired from work, they could drink coffee, chat, or even run out to handle some personal matters; as long as it wasn't too excessive and they could ensure their main job was done well, no one would interfere.
Furthermore, surveillance cameras were also installed in the company, but they were only placed in the corridors or at the entrances of key departments; there were none in the offices.
This eliminated the feeling of being constantly monitored.
Even if they stayed at Far View (Yuantu), if the company's helmsman changed, it would be meaningless.
No one wanted Far View (Yuantu) to change, but no one present had a way to change any of this.
Except for Su Yue.
Su Yue was also lost in thought at this moment.
Qian Boda was now his primary suspect. The reason lay in the words Qian Boda had spoken.
"You little bitch will soon become the President's wife..."
And Qian Boda indeed had a motive for the crime!
According to the information he had gathered, the marriage alliance between the Lan's and Qian families this time was carried out through mutual capital injection and shareholding. The two families would form a closer alliance through this matter.
And the core was the Yuantu Company in Lan Zijun's hands.
If Lan Zijun were to suddenly die after the marriage, then according to legal provisions, her first-priority heirs would include her spouse, parents, and children.
In other words, Qian Boda was the first in line, the number one heir!
Of course, he could only inherit the majority because Lan Zijun's parents were still alive, and parents were also first-priority heirs.
However, if you think deeper, Lan Zijun's parents' primary heir was only Lan Zijun. Once Lan Zijun married Qian Boda, he would immediately share Lan Zijun's status as a first-priority heir!
Even if Lan Zijun passed away, as long as Qian Boda fulfilled his support obligations, he could retain his position as a first-priority heir!
Of course, Lan Shengyi could choose to designate his heirs through a will, excluding Qian Boda.
However, this is only speaking from a legal principle perspective. Law actually considers human sentiment. Although testamentary inheritance is higher than intestate inheritance, it must comply with public order and good morals.
And what is called public order and good morals, frankly speaking, is to consider the interests of the first-priority heirs.
For example, there was a case where an elderly person, seduced by sweet talk, gifted their property through a will to the nanny who cared for them, while their children received nothing. After investigation, the court found that the children had actively fulfilled their support obligations, and therefore ruled that part of the will was invalid, and the nanny had to divide the inheritance with the children, and it had to be an equal division.
If Qian Boda really intended to take the Lans Group into his pocket this way, he would clearly play the role of a filial son. Regardless of whether Lan Shengyi was willing, Qian Boda, as a first-priority heir, would occupy at least half of the share.
Coupled with the share exchange between the Qian family and the Lan family, Qian Boda could completely become the helmsman of the Lans Group directly!
This was a huge benefit!
It is a very reasonable inference that Qian Boda was thus tempted and wanted to assassinate Lan Zijun.
However, it was still the same old problem.
Su Yue needed evidence!
He needed evidence that could convince Lan Zijun and prove his inference!
This meant that Su Yue needed more information!
But the System's next information refresh was still 6 days away.
And Su Yue would be leaving the company in 6 days.
At that time, the difficulty of contacting Lan Zijun would increase sharply!
He couldn't wait for the next piece of information!
Moreover, honestly, he felt that he seemed to have already grasped enough evidence; perhaps this was a sixth sense.
It was just that he had overlooked a certain key point.
What exactly was it?
...
Su Yue was deep in thought throughout the afternoon.
And a low pressure permeated the entire office of the Market Research Department.
It must be said that Lan Zijun's vision was actually very good.
At this moment, the employees who had already been dismissed were still working diligently, preparing for the Municipal Department's online bidding conference that was coming tomorrow.
Even though in seven days, they would complete the handover and leave the company.
In a sense, this was also Lan Zijun's charisma.
However, this was also normal.
After all, everyone had worked hard for this matter for so long; even if they were going to be dismissed, they had to finish it.
Tomorrow's Municipal Department online bidding conference was the most important bidding conference of the year.
Due to some well-known reasons, this time the Municipal Department's bidding conference was changed from offline to online.
As an investment company, Far View (Yuantu) should not have been qualified to participate in the bidding.
But Far View (Yuantu) was originally part of the Lans Group, and the Lans Group was involved in a very wide range of industries.
These included: building materials, construction engineering, welding materials, cultural and entertainment performances, cultural communication, etc....
Therefore, Yuantu Company's business scope actually also covered this area, allowing it to participate in this Municipal Department's online bidding conference.
The projects the Municipal Department was bidding on this time included streetlights, residential fitness equipment, installation of electronic bus stop signs, renovation of old residential areas... and a series of other projects.
As long as they could win the bid, in addition to commission rewards, they could also establish connections with the authorities.
Thus, it was entirely beneficial with no harm.
However, undertaking these projects was not easy. The Municipal Department's requirements, supervision, and inspection intensity for these projects were unprecedented.
Once the successful bidder had any non-compliant or violating aspects during construction, it went without saying what the consequences of the Municipal Authority's penalty would be.
But even so, dozens of companies were eyeing the projects covetously, striving to win the bid successfully.
Supply is less than demand.
To break through from dozens of top companies and successfully win the bid, they had to be fully prepared.
Therefore.
Yuantu Company and its participating subsidiaries cooperated with each other, fully preparing for the online bidding conference that was coming tomorrow.
Because the bidding projects had a wide scope, the employees of the subsidiaries and Yuantu Company had to cooperate with each other. After the Municipal Department proposed a project, they had to immediately integrate the company's various resources, quickly calculate costs and profits, and then quickly submit a quote.
Thus.
Yuantu Company's office area was packed, filled with employees from the company and its subsidiaries, with no space to even stand.
Everyone was making the final preparations and sprinting towards tomorrow's online bidding conference.
