Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 392 Heir

After the door was pushed open, Meng Shu stood in front of the door for a while. Chen Chuan saw her take a deep breath unconsciously, and then walked in.

He followed him in. The lighting in this living room was very good. At this moment, the autumn sun outside was shining in, making the reception room with gorgeous decorations look even more magnificent.

In the middle of the hall, below the exquisite and intricate crystal chandelier, there is a heavy-style solid wood desk. Next to the desk is a half-person-high astronomical globe, on which the drawings and annotations are all in the style of the old era.

Meng Lai, the founder and current helmsman of Fusion Boundary Company, is sitting on the sofa behind his desk.

The fusion border was established sixty years ago. The person should be at least eighty years old, but the person sitting on it now feels like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

His face was handsome and in very good shape. His facial muscles were not loose, his skin was well maintained, his hair was black and thick, and he had the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Chen Chuan discovered that Meng Shu's eyes were very similar to his, both were a pair of phoenix eyes with slightly upturned corners, but this one's eyes looked complex and deep, like a deep pool with no bottom to be seen.

Aunt Yu walked over to Meng Lai and leaned over to say a few words to him. The latter smiled and nodded at Chen Chuan, then looked at Meng Shu and said, "Xiao Shu is here."

Meng Shu walked forward and bowed to greet him: "Grandpa."

Meng Lai nodded and said, "Xiaoshu, since you are here, please sit down first. We still have to wait for another guest."

Another guest?
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, could it be Meng Huang? That's very possible, but using the term "guest" does have some special meaning.

Aunt Yu said at this time: "You all sit down."

Chen Chuan didn't hesitate to nod his thanks and sat down on the long sofa at the side. He glanced outside and could just see the square parking lot outside. Meng Xu was still there, seemingly waiting for someone.

Aunt Yu stopped by Jie Ping and said something. After a while, a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and wearing a monocle walked in. Next to him, there was an old man with a cane. His face was full of age spots and his hair was sparse. He was supported by someone and walked in.

Chen Chuan had read the general information of some people around Meng Lai and recognized that this was Meng Lai's personal lawyer Ma Guangming. He also had a deep impression of the other old man.

This is Meng Lai's great-uncle, Meng Zhenghuai, the oldest member of the Meng family. He is already 120 years old and is now relying on drugs to keep alive.

Aunt Yu walked over, waved away the servants, supported Meng Zhenghuai, and helped him sit down, saying, "Uncle, slow down."

"I'm so old. I get out of breath after walking a few steps."

After Meng Zhenghuai sat down, he tremblingly took out his hearing aid and put it on, then looked at Meng Lai and said, "Xiao Lai, I'm here. While my ears are still not deaf, just tell me what you want to say."

Meng Lai smiled and said, "Uncle, you are not too old. If you are willing, I can arrange an implant surgery for you. With the current technology, your body can also be adjusted at the same time."

Meng Zhenghuai waved his hand and shook his head, "I've said before, I won't pretend to have those messy things, I'm afraid if I continue to pretend, my ancestors won't recognize me. I'm very satisfied to have lived this long."

Meng Lai did not persuade him any further. He looked at Ma Guangming and said, "Mr. Ma."

Ma Guangming bowed and said, "Mr. Meng, I am here."

Meng Lai said: "I have invited two younger generations from the family today. They are both candidates for family succession that I am optimistic about. I have examined them for a long time. Now Xiaoshu has arrived. I will announce the first thing. Please write it down..."

Ma Guangming's face became serious. He took out a document and a pen from his briefcase, looked at Meng Lai, and waited for him to continue.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became quiet.

Meng Lai went on to say, "If Meng Huang does not come to this room within the specified time today, he will be deemed to have given up automatically. I will confirm my granddaughter Meng Shu as the only heir to the company."

Meng Shu sat there, she didn't show any particular excitement, she wasn't sure whether this was her grandfather's comfort or he really had made this decision.

But she knew how to behave in front of her grandfather in the way he wanted to see her, so there was no emotion on her face.

Meng Lai really seemed to like her performance, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Ma Guangming quickly wrote down what Meng Lai had just said on the document, then he raised his head and said with a slightly serious expression: "Mr. Meng, I have written down your words.

But according to the agreed charter, any decision of Meng Gong regarding succession must be confirmed and approved by the Meng family members and kept in written documents. "

Meng Lai hummed, picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it, and said slowly: "After today, I will announce it at the next family meeting."

Ma Guangming said respectfully: "Then there is no problem."

Meng Zhenghuai said, "Xiao Lai, I am still here, and I will watch what happens today." He turned to look at Aunt Yu beside him, "Xiao Shu is the fourth young master's daughter, right?" Aunt Yu bowed slightly and said, "Yes, she is the fourth young master's daughter. Your memory is really good, great uncle."

Meng Zhenghuai laughed, stroked his sparse beard and said, "Old Four is a good child, Xiaoshu is also a good child, Xiaolai, you decide on things, and your uncle will support you with the clan's affairs."

Yan Yi, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Meng Lai who was sitting above, but quickly looked away and looked at Ma Guangming again.

Although it seems that Meng Lai has made a choice, she does not think that the situation has really changed. All this still depends on Meng Huang's actions. If Meng Huang cannot be removed, these things can change at any time.

Giving subordinates long-term expectations is an essential skill for company managers. As a member of the management, she knows deeply that only things that are truly implemented are of practical significance. Although some descriptions may look and sound good, they are just empty words before they are fulfilled.

Chen Chuan heard this conversation clearly. At this moment, he had a feeling that these words were not only spoken to Meng Shu, but also to him.

To be precise, he was speaking to the processing bureau behind him.

If so, he was regarded as the representative of the Bureau here.

But actually this is not wrong. When he came here today, the processing bureau gave him certain authority. The official letter of execution authority was delivered together with those things yesterday, and he is carrying it with him now.

Ma Guangming filled out several more copies of the document and handed it to Meng Lai for confirmation. After he found no problems, he took it back and followed Aunt Yu out. Not long after, Aunt Yu came back and nodded to Meng Lai.

Next, Meng Lai and Meng Zhenghuai talked about some things in the past, and occasionally asked about Meng Shu's life, just like a real family elder who understood and cared about the younger generation. The atmosphere seemed more harmonious than before.

Time passed by little by little. After waiting for more than half an hour, the appointed time soon arrived and the clock next to me began to ring.

Meng Zhenghuai stopped talking and narrowed his cloudy eyes.

Yan Yi unconsciously clenched his fingers.

After the last bell rang, before the sound died down, the door of the living room was pushed open, and a man in his thirties walked in, saying in a joking tone: "Oh, sorry, I seem to be late."

Chen Chuan looked over and found that this man looked somewhat similar to Meng Shu. His face was handsome, but his expression contained a sense of freedom and willfulness.

When the real person stood in front of him, he was actually a little different from the photo the processing bureau gave him. The most obvious difference was his height. Meng Huang was originally about 1.8 meters tall, definitely not over 2.1 meters tall like he is now.

Although there are many technologies and implants that can achieve this effect nowadays, he can be sure that Meng Huang will never use this method.

Moreover, the people who really hold power at the top of a company rarely use things like implants. They have better medicines and some unique means to improve their physical fitness and prolong their lifespan.

Meng Huang did not come alone. Behind him was a sturdy man wearing sunglasses. His arms were relatively short, but his limbs were extremely strong. Compared with Meng Huang in front, he seemed inconspicuous and was easily overlooked. After he came in, he just stood there motionless.

But he could feel that this person was not simple, and he was sure that he was a third-level fighter, who should be responsible for Meng Huang's personal security.

Meng Huang first glanced around the room, and after seeing Meng Shu and Meng Zhenghuai, he smiled, then moved his eyes to Meng Lai. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and then he went to an empty sofa and sat there with his legs crossed.

Meng Lai then said slowly: "You are late, but you are here anyway."

Meng Huang smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, I didn't want to come, especially in front of you. Oh. Please forgive me for saying this, because when I face you, I really can't muster any respect."

Meng Zhenghuai was sitting on one side. He had taken off his hearing aid since Meng Huang came in. Then he leaned on a cane, his head heaving, as if he was dozing off.

Yan Yi looked at Meng Lai in disbelief. She didn't expect Meng Huang to be so rude to Meng Lai, the helmsman of the company, and he didn't even bother to maintain the most superficial courtesy. Was it because he knew he couldn't be the heir, so he just gave up?

Meng Huang looked at Meng Shu again, "My dear sister, you don't know yet, do you?" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Lai, "The person sitting in front of us is just a biological substitute with a consciousness coordinator implanted.

You think he is our grandfather? Don't be ridiculous!

I even suspect that we have never seen the real him since we were young, and the real him may have already ceased to exist. What is controlling the company now is just a consciousness coordinator.

Are you willing to listen to the orders of a consciousness coordinator and let this thing decide the fate of the two of us? Anyway, I don't want to."
