Chapter 076: Double Personality
Fu Yansheng seemed to have anticipated this, and he said with a smile, “Even if you are a chess piece, you are the most precious chess piece in his hand.”
Qi Yu also understood his father’s motive for doing this. But, after listening to Qi Yuancheng’s explanation today, his dad now felt a little unfamiliar to Qi Yu. Even though the the two of them have depended on each other since he was ten, even though Qi Yuancheng has taken him to experience so many situations, it was just as Fu Yansheng has said — it seemed that he still didn’t understand his father very well.
This feeling made him faintly uneasy. He even began to doubt whether in the future, he could become a businessman like his father… a businessman with rigorous schemes and deep foresight, firm and decisive in his attacks. — He had clearly said that he couldn’t bear to do it and once he turned around, he could mercilessly raise the knife and bring it down.
Qi Yu told Fu Yansheng the doubt that he could not confide to his father, “If I’m just a pawn he used to divert the enemy’s attention then doesn’t that mean that no matter whether I found those evidences or not, dad would have still done the investigation himself and acted according to his plan?”
Fu Yansheng was taken aback. He immediately understood what Qi Yu was feeling frustrated about.
He comforted him, “Qi Yu, I was the one who suggested to your dad that he let you go back to Mei Wei’s Haicheng branch to do the investigation. I remember I told him that since you are his heir, you will need this training sooner or later. An unpolished jade is worthless. Your father should have given it careful consideration before he decided to let you come here.”
Qi Yu was suddenly reminded of it. He’d almost forgotten about this…
Fu Yansheng continued, “Even if you hadn’t found anything, what you did in Mei Wei during this period, how you’d behaved, whether you are a capable and skillful heir or a weak and inept person, anyone with eyes must have seen it at a glance. Your dad too must be very pleased to see the hard work you’ve done. Moreover, through this experience, weren’t you able to gather a lot of points to ponder? Weren’t you able to gain a lot of experiences?”
Qi Yu gave an “en”.
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “You’re still young. You shouldn’t be so anxious to produce achievements. Your dad too wouldn’t want you to go charging into enemy lines for him.”
After hearing Fu Yansheng’s words, Qi Yu felt a little relieved.
He looked at Fu Yansheng and tentatively asked, “What do you think my dad will do next?”
Fu Yansheng pondered for a moment, and said, “I’m guessing that aside from taking care of the Qiu Family, he’s going to take this opportunity to purchase and reorganize Mei Wei’s shares. I’ve calculated just how much of Mei Wei’s shares your father holds. Based on publicly available information, although he remains the largest shareholder, he only accounts for 26.8% of the shares. This really is a bit risky…”
Qi Yu gave a secret sigh at Fu Yansheng’s precise judgment. He hadn’t told Fu Yansheng about the problems his dad was worried about, but Fu Yansheng still managed to guess what his dad was likely to do based on the scant publicly available information.
Qi Yu asked: “How much of the shares should he have to be considered safe?”
“For a listed company, it should be at least 34%.” Fu Yansheng explained. “34% means that a shareholder has secure control over the company and it also grants him veto rights… For example, your father’s share in the Si Yuan Group is as high as 34.8%, this control basically signifies that your father is a position to wield power within the group.”
Qi Yu looked pensive. He remembered that Qi Yuancheng had told him that his mother and brother also had shares in Mei Wei, but that these shares were held by his mother’s assistant. This kind of information was probably difficult for outsiders to find out. Combining these together, he still wasn’t sure if the shares could reach 34%…
However, his mom and dad were divorced after all. If Mei Wei runs into a crisis, he wasn’t sure whether his mom would be willing to lend a helping hand. When it came to his own business, it seemed that his dad has never made any request of his mom…
“However, your father shouldn’t only have this 26.8% of indirect hold on Mei Wei through the Si Yuan Group, right?” Fu Yansheng interrupted Qi Yu’s thoughts, “Does he have around 5% of the shares directly?”
Qi Yu acknowledged frankly, “En, dad is helping me hold on to part of it. When Mei Wei was listed in China before, we also bought back about 2% of the shares through the stock market.”

The two discussed about Mei Wei for a while. Qi Yu mentioned to Fu Yansheng about forming a team for the group’s Technology Development Department.
Fu Yansheng understood and said, “Let’s take advantage of these few days to do the recruitment. During your stay in the country these past couple of months, you’ve come into contact with many people and things in Mei Wei. Do you have someone you particularly want in mind?”
Speaking of this, Qi Yu did have a particular candidate in mind. “I think Wu Shuang’s pretty good. I just don’t know if there’s a suitable position for him.”
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “You have to trust him. You can let him help you handle some of the trivial matters here. He can do liaison work. You really do need someone like that.”
Qi Yu nodded. “I’ll ask him later if he’ll be willing to do it.”
Qi Yu sent a message to Wu Shuang. Wu Shuang only knew that he had taken a leave of absence today, but he wasn’t clear on what had happened to Qi Yu. Fu Yansheng told Qi Yu to simply ask Wu Shuang to come to the hospital tonight for a face-to-face meeting.
Qi Yu remember that Wu Shuang had come to be his assistant because of Fu Yansheng had pulled some strings. It wasn’t a bad idea for the three to meet each other and talk about everything. And so he called Wu Shuang over.
Wu Shuang also brought a fruit basket when he came. The packaging wasn’t quite as high quality as those bought by Fu Yansheng and Xu Jing, but it looked to have the same “sincerity”.
The corners of Qi Yu’s lips twitched and he asked Wu Shuang to put the fruit basket alongside the other two. The three of them sat around the small tea table in his ward.
“I heard that you two are alumni from the same university?” Qi Yu asked.
“Actually, I didn’t know him before…” Wu Shuang shyly explained how he had come to apply for the job through the alumni group. It was pretty much the same as what Fu Yansheng had explained before.
Qi Yu: “That time Zhang Jian came to ask ‘me’ to sign the document, you called Fu Yansheng?”
Wu Shuang scratched his head and gave an “en”. A little embarrassed, “I couldn’t think of any other way…”
Qi Yu blinked at Wu Shuang, a sly look entering his eyes: “You didn’t notice the difference between the ‘me’ that day and the ‘me’ now?”
Wu Shuang was taken aback. He looked at Qi Yu carefully. After feeling tangled for a moment, he asked a little uncertainly, “President Qi…do you have a bit of a…split personality?”
Qi Yu: “……”
Fu Yansheng: “……”
Wu Shuang saw the strange look on Qi Yu’ face and proceeded to explain accompanied by hand gestures, “The kind of split personality I mean is the kind is still considered part of normal behavior. I’ve read some psychology books and it’s understandable. It doesn’t means that you have sort of mental problem……”
Qi Yu wasn’t angry at all. He continued to ask him, “Then, which personality do you think is better?”
“Are you…really?” Wu Shuang stared at Qi Yu in shock. He took two deep breaths, tried to make himself look calm and then explained, “That’s both good…but I think, the one who like sweets seem to be a little bit cuter.”
Qi Yu: “…………”
Fu Yansheng finally couldn’t help it and laughed. He explained to Wu Shuang, “Qi Yu has a younger twin brother and the one who loves sweets is his brother.”
Wu Shuang sat there dazed for a couple of seconds before reacting and crying out, “Twins!?”
Qi Yu frowned. “Teacher Fu, it’s no fun if you tell him the truth so quickly.”
Fu Yansheng looked at him a doting and helpless expression in his eyes. “Enough, you. You’re already a grown man. Why are you still playing pranks on a child?”
Qi Yu snorted out a laugh. He placed his leg up on his knee and looked at Wu Shuang. “It seems that you like my brother better.”
“No,” Wu Shuang replied, embarrassed, “but you two really do look alike…”
After joking around a bit more, Fu Yansheng, on Qi Yu’s behalf, asked Wu Shuang about taking over a new job. After learning Qi Yu’s request, Wu Shuang readily agreed.
Before Wu Shuang left that evening, Qi Yu sent him to do one more thing for him — Qi Yu came to the hospital directly after the incident last night. Today, he wore the clothes provided by the hospital for patients. Although loose and comfortable, they weren’t very suitable for seeing people. He gave his room card to Wu Shuang, told him his room number in the hotel and the where to find his clothes. He then asked him to find two sets of clothes for him.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yansheng got up and said, “I’ll go. I’ll bring them for you in a while.”
Qi Yu: “Alright.”
About forty minutes later Fu Yansheng came back and said to Qi Yu, “If you have this kind of thing in the future, you can tell me directly.”
Qi Yu was surprised. Thinking he might still be worried about Wu Shuang, he explained, “Since he’s now my subordinate, I will trust him. Besides, there is nothing shameless in my room. The cleaning staff also go in to clean every day…”
Unexpectedly, when Fu Yansheng heard these words, he directly pulled out a pair of underwear from the pile of clothes and shook it in front of him. “You would let other men get this for you?”
Qi Yu: “…………”
Qiyu was embarrassed, and he snatched it away: “What are you thinking about! My dad’s personal clothes are also cleaned by his assistant…”
Fu Yansheng pushed up his glasses and said, “I can’t control what your father does, but you are now my charge.”
Qi Yu: “???”
No, why should he be in Fu Yansheng’s charge now?
Fu Yansheng ignored the question mark over his face. He leaned over and coaxed in a low voice, “Come and give me a kiss. I’m going back now.”
Qi Yu hadn’t reacted yet with Fu Yansheng already had his hand behind his neck. He exasperatedly leaned over and gave him a kiss. After they separated, he asked, “You won’t be staying here tonight?”
Fu Yansheng said softly, “I have to go back to take a shower and change clothes… Or should I come back after washing up?”
Qi Yu pushed him away. “Forget it. You can just come back tomorrow.”
Fu Yansheng licked his lips twice before letting go.
***
Because Qi Yu didn’t plan on going to the office for the next few days, Wu Shuang handled related affairs and the resignation procedures for him in the office. He also update him about the situation in the company — He’d heard that Liu Qi and Zhang Jian were arrested. All the documents in Liu Qi’s office were taken away and there was quite the stir, which caused panic in the office.
Moreover, since the day before yesterday, Mei Wei’s stock price has been taking a tumble for three consecutive days. 500 million of its market value had evaporated. News of it had spread overseas, and even the share price of the Si Yuan Group in the NSDK has also declined.
Qi Yu has always paid attention to the stock market. He didn’t know if these situations were also within the scope of his father’s expectation or if his father had the energy to deal with them. He was left restless and fidgety.
In the afternoon, Qi Yu was browsing the news in his room when an unexpected visitor came to see him.
Qi Yu looked at this man with a temperament similar to Fu Yansheng’s. He was a little surprised. “Mr. Song?”
The person who came was Si Ze’s assistant, Song Puxin.
