Chapter 1: Inheritance
Three days.
It has been exactly three days since that rebellious son took over the company.
During these three days, Lao Gu had trouble eating and sleeping, for fear that he would hear the news of the company going bankrupt or being acquired as soon as he opened his eyes.
If his physical condition allowed it, Mr. Gu would have pulled out the IV needle in his arm and gone to the company himself to fight to the death with those locusts who were taking advantage of the situation.
Ever since the news of his serious illness spread, people throughout the company began to feel uneasy. Internal factions led by several shareholders, coupled with pressure from external competitors, meant that in just two months, such a large company suddenly became precarious and in disarray.
This is when the disadvantages of a one-man show become apparent.
When the only boss with the final say in the company fell, the rest of the people were like headless flies, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.
At the same time, people who had been lurking in the dark also emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Mr. Gu never knew that there were so many jackals, tigers and leopards surrounding him, just waiting for him to fall and then divide up his flesh and blood.
