Chapter 2403 2404 Funeral

Chapter 2403: Chapter 2404: Funeral Chapter 2403: Chapter 2404: Funeral “I wouldn’t bring up Tao Yuan’s family affairs for no reason; if it wasn’t for Gao, I would have told you already,” Ji Qingyan said:

“Lingyun Group invested in a company called Haoyu Storage. Do you remember it? It’s a project I invested in last year.”

“How could I not know,” Lin Yi said:

“They’re now wildly expanding, their market share has risen to the second in the world. Just a few days ago, I was saying to Old Qi that when we’re free, we should invite their boss out for a chat and a meal.”

“Someone had an accident, the day before yesterday.”

“Huh?”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, “Is he gone? Wang Jiasu?”

“It’s said that he got electrocuted to death by a hairdryer that fell into the bathtub while he was taking a shower,” Ji Qingyan sighed and continued:

“I remember, when we were discussing the investment, I dined with Director Wang twice, he seemed like a nice person, and he shared with me a lot of his strategic policies. Who would have thought that just after a year, such a thing would happen.”

“We also had a meal together once; although he was a bit flashy, he was very solid and truly quite good.”

“I intended to attend [the funeral], but He Yuanyuan said I’m pregnant and shouldn’t go to such places, she and Brother Qi are planning to go and have a look,” Ji Qingyan said:

“If you’re free, you should go as well. Last time at the meeting, you scolded the Apple executive thoroughly. Your confidence came from Wang Jiasu’s support; we shouldn’t be impolite now.”

“Yeah.”

Lin Yi nodded, without saying much else, feeling a bit strange.

If it were outdoors, an electrocution death could be understandable, after all, it’s 320 volts of high voltage, and incidents like these happen every year.

But dying from electrocution at home while taking a bath, this was the first time he heard of such an incident.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi felt he should indeed make a trip.

Wang Jiasu has a brother named Wang Jialu, who also holds shares in the company.

However, he is a man who loves glory and success, far inferior to Wang Jiasu.

If he were to take over the company, one can imagine what the future development would be.

It could even affect the global expansion strategy of Lingyun Group.

In both feeling and reason, after such a significant incident, he had to go and see.

That evening, the two went to the supermarket, and then they went home together.

Lin Yi informed Qi Xianzhao that he was planning to attend the funeral tomorrow.

The next morning, a little after five o’clock, Qi Xianzhao drove, picking up He Yuanyuan and then Lin Yi from Ji Qingyan’s place.

“The clothes you’re wearing, it was my senior sister who found them for you, right?”

“How did you know?”

“I guessed from the style,” He Yuanyuan said:

“Although you’re a bit rustic, wearing a black suit does indeed look more pleasing than our Mr. Gao.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Clearly, Lin Yi was not in the mood to battle with He Yuanyuan and asked:

“Is Old Wang’s death confirmed to be from electrocution?”

“That’s what I heard, but his wife suspects foul play. The police haven’t found any conclusive evidence, and it’s been ruled as death by electrocution,” He Yuanyuan looked at Lin Yi:

“You’re not suspecting that his brother had a hand in it, are you?”

“They have always been at odds. If it weren’t for Wang Jiasu’s strong tactics, shooting down his brother’s proposals, Haoyu Storage would not have been able to develop to this point.”

“That’s true, but without evidence, and the police not finding anything, Wang Jiasu’s family couldn’t possibly pursue it further,” He Yuanyuan said:

“You shouldn’t worry too much, after all, the relationship was not bad when he was alive, just see him off on his last journey.”

“But the issue is, how his company will develop in the future,” Qi Xianzhao said:

“Wang Jialu is such a glory-seeker, if the company falls into his hands, its future development is worrisome. Our layout in the new energy industry will definitely be affected.”

“I’m also worried about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come today. I just want to check out their family’s situation.”

“Director Wang has a son studying for his MBA in America. Take the opportunity to chat with him when you can, see what he’s like.”

“That’s also an option.”

At just after six in the morning, the entrance to Longhua Funeral Hall was filled with over a hundred luxury cars, filling the entire parking lot.

The men and women arriving for the memorial service were almost all dressed in somber black clothing, making the atmosphere here even more oppressive.

In a corner of the funeral hall building, a man and a woman stood, the man around fifty years old, with hardly any hair left on his head.

Next to him stood a young woman of about twenty-five or twenty-six, whose appearance was not outstanding, yet she wore light makeup.

The man’s name was Wang Jialu, the deceased Wang Jiasu’s brother.

The young woman was his daughter, named Wang Yuni.

They say a daughter is like her father, and this father-daughter pair did not escape this biological law.

They idled their life away. Knowing that their uncle’s memorial service was today, they still played in the nightclub until the early morning the day before.

“Dad, what was the outcome of yesterday’s meeting? Did the executives of the group express their stance?”

“They had already expressed their stance during the emergency meeting the day of the incident, so there’s no need to worry about that,” Wang Jialu said.

“Then everything is okay. My uncle is gone, and this company naturally falls into your hands,” Wang Yuni said:

“My brother hasn’t even finished his PhD yet. He’s never been involved in the company’s business. It’s impossible for him to compete with us.”

“I’m not even taking him into consideration,” Wang Jialu said:

“Now we have to see how Lingyun Group views the situation.”

“Lingyun Group?”

“They hold 28% of the group’s shares, the largest shareholder,” Wang Jialu said as he lit a cigarette, speaking gravely:

“The new energy industry is still in a stage where many are vying for dominance. One must invest heavily to carve out a larger market share. Without the support of Lingyun Group, Haoyu Storage could quickly fall behind.”

“We just need to reach out to them again.”

“We’ve been in touch before, and they also will come today. We can use this opportunity to have a good talk with them.”

“I don’t think it’s a big problem. With my uncle gone, they can only choose to cooperate with you unless they don’t want to grow in this industry anymore.”

“That’s what it seems like on the surface, so I’m really looking forward to this meeting.”

“Dad, you can do this, I believe in you.”

“You have the nerve to say that to me. Didn’t you go to the bar again last night? The smell of alcohol is still on you, when will you be able to share some of my burdens!” Wang Jialu said reproachfully, as if disappointed with untempered steel.

“I’m a woman, I can’t share your burdens. In the future, I just need to find a suitable son-in-law to help manage the company,” she said.

“If you’re talking about that, I do have a potential candidate in mind.”

“Huh? Who?”

“The CEO of Lingyun Group, Qi Xianzhao!”

“I remember he was the COO.”

“He got promoted at the beginning of the year, in his early thirties, and still single, definitely worth considering.”
