Mystery volunteer shrub

I found this in two spots in my back yard, it clearly wants to grow up into a great big shrub!

I am planning on pulling it out except in the unlikely event this is worth relocating.

It has shiny dark green leaves, red stem, reddish new growth and garish bright pink small flowers with yellow stamens. There are also small berries.

My first thought was some kind of honeysuckle, but the flowers don't look anything like honeysuckle. There is no scent.

Any thoughts?

TIA
