388 Granddaughter of the Shen Family?
Seeing how Shen Chong was unrepentant even now, acting with such a domineering attitude just because Shen Yuansong had no children, Shen Yuansong’s eyes were filled with intense disappointment.
He was disappointed in Shen Zhong because he wasn’t intelligent enough, and his mind was easily led astray.
As for Shen Chong, he was indeed intelligent enough. Shen Yuansong had been thinking that he might as well just pass the Shen Family to Shen Chong. But right now, he was sighing with relief he hadn’t made such a choice.
He lowered his eyelids and slowly spoke, “I’m precisely caring about our family’s future, so I have to be ruthless for once. A family that cannot adapt to change will decline sooner or later. And now, the two of you are actually crazy enough to attempt to kill me…”
Shen Zhong quickly explained, “Uncle, we didn’t plan to. We only wish to give you some vitamins so it would be good for your body!”
Fool!
Let alone Shen Yuansong who found Shen Zhong’s explanation ridiculous, even Shen Chong was cursing angrily in his heart.
Why admit it now?
Shen Yuansong actually laughed. “Is that so? You mean you don’t know that my life would be in danger if I stopped eating heart protecting pills?”
Shen Zhong nodded. “Right, I had no idea!”
Shen Yuansong lowered his eyes.
Uncle Liu, the butler, took a step forward and directly played the conversation that was between the two of them and Doctor Li!
Shen Zhong only understood after hearing the conversation. He stared at Doctor Li with rage. “So you never betrayed my uncle after all?!”
Doctor Li lowered his head. “I have my own integrity as a family doctor. I would never reveal the details of my patients.”
Shen Zhong looked at the doctor before glancing at Shen Yuansong. Only then did he discover that he was plotted against.
He stared in shock at Shen Yuansong. “So, your ill health is all a pretense?”
Shen Yuansong didn’t reply.
Shen Chong, who was at the side, could no longer endure it. “Elder brother, not only is his ill health a pretense, he might not even need to eat heart protecting pills to survive. In addition, his domineering attitude toward us earlier was an act too. All of these were to tempt us to act.”
Shen Zhong. “…”
He stared at Shen Yuansong in bewilderment. “Uncle, why must you act like this?”
Shen Chong. “It must naturally be because uncle wants to remove the authority we hold. I think uncle probably won’t report us to the police, right? You set up this scheme because you want us to be obedient and take the initiative to hand over the management rights of the Shen Corporation.”
Shen Zhong didn’t seem to get it. “In that case, who will be managing the Shen Corporation in the future? We can’t possibly hand it to the next generation of Shen Cong and the others, right?”
Shen Cong was even inferior compared to Shen Zhong, so how could Shen Yuansong hand the Shen Corporation to him?
Shen Chong didn’t say anything and merely looked at his uncle.
He narrowed his eyes and was currently pondering why Shen Yuansong would do this.
His uncle clearly had no illegitimate children outside. After all, he had tolerated their behavior for so many years, but why did he suddenly start acting like this…?
Shen Chong was currently indulging in flights of fantasy when Shen Yuansong lowered his eyes as he spoke, “The Shen Family cannot fall and you two are indeed the only choices I have for the next successor. But other than letting you two manage the company, there is another method.”
When Shen Chong heard this, he was badly startled as huge waves rose in his heart.
Could it be…
As he was pondering, he heard Shen Yuansong saying, “I can hand the company to a professional manager to manage. That person will manage the company in the future, while you guys will just be entitled to receiving bonuses.”
Shen Yuansong had never thought of doing anything to them.
Shen Chong got it correct for this point.
In the situation where Shen Yuansong didn’t acknowledge his daughter Shen Qianhui, these two brothers were his only successors.
However, their moral characters were so bad. If he handed the Shen Family to them, even if they didn’t go bankrupt in this generation, their family wouldn’t be able to remain at the top in the next generation.
Since that was the case, he might as well allow them to become rich while idling.
Professional matters should be handed to professionals to handle!
Shen Zhong and Shen Chong were both very reluctant. They wanted to say something more, but Shen Yuansong already waved his hands. “You two can go.”
Hearing this, the two of them didn’t dare to disobey and could only leave with their tails in between their legs.
After the two of them left, Shen Yuansong looked at the butler. “I’ll hand the matter of choosing a professional manager to you. He will have to know about the future development of the Shen Family.”
Shen Yuansong would create a perfect development map for the Shen Corporation, and the professional manager just had to execute things according to the plan, leading the Shen Corporation along the path with no deviations.
This way, a decade or a century later, the Shen Family might no longer be the first among the four great families of the capital, but they wouldn’t decline either!
–
Chu Manor.
Early the next morning when Shen Ruojing got up to practice Taichi, she kept feeling somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. After she practiced for some time, she finally realized that Chu Cichen didn’t go for his morning jog today, and that was unusual.
Every day when she practiced Taichi, Chu Cichen would run laps around her. Although the two had no interactions, she was already used to such a silent companionship.
Since Chu Cichen suddenly didn’t jog, she practiced for a while more and found it meaningless, so she decided to stop and return.
But after taking two steps forward, she saw Chu Cichen wearing his jogging attire standing a distance away. Lu Cheng also came by early in the morning and was currently making a report to him. “It’s confirmed! There was a huge commotion in the Shen Family last night, and I believe everyone in the business circle of the capital will learn about it today. The Shen Corporation just changed its CEO and hired a professional manager. In addition, the moment the professional manager took over, he contacted me and said that they would stop producing the special medicine from now on and completely hand the domestic market to us.”
Lu Cheng scratched his head. “At the start, I thought that the other party was angry because we lowered the price, so I’ve been very wary about the possible tricks they might use on us during these few days. However, I didn’t expect this result. This is simply too unexpected. The Shen Family’s attitude is so strange, and they even introduced a few more public and private hospitals to us. In the future, all private hospitals owned by the Shen Family will also be using our special medicine! They even took the initiative to help us enter the medical industry. Bro Chen, do you feel that this is a scheme?”
Chu Cichen also hadn’t expected this.
According to the Shen brothers’ way of doing things, they should have started on a crazy revenge and retaliation plan against him.
However, Old Master Shen suddenly acted at a crucial moment, and the results were so beneficial to their Chu Corporation. This caused him to feel a little strange.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He pursed his lips.
At this moment, the two sensed Shen Ruojing’s gaze and turned their heads in unison toward her.
Shen Ruojing decided to walk over.
She hadn’t expected that her maternal grandfather’s actions would be so swift. He already started taking action despite it being only yesterday when they confirmed their relationship. He was truly too quick and experienced.
She understood why Shen Yuansong acted like this.
In the past, he had no descendants, so Shen Chong and Shen Zhong were responsible for the future development of the Shen Family. He had completed his mission and didn’t really care what the juniors were doing.
But now, after discovering he had a daughter, Shen Yuansong changed.
He wasn’t able to get re-acquainted with his daughter, but he could support them from the shadow!
Shen Yuansong’s plan was to let the Chu Corporation replace them and become the future boss of the medical industry!
He was truly gifting the Shen Corporation’s business away!
If she said she wasn’t moved by this, it would be fake.
Even though Shen Ruojing was someone who viewed fame and authority lightly and had no regard for the Shen Family, her maternal grandfather’s spirit made her feel impressed.
Since he had given such a gift, would she reject it?
Naturally not.
If she rejected it, it would be hypocrisy.
In addition, even if the Shen Family didn’t provide help, according to the Chu Corporation’s development plan, they would become the fifth great family sooner or later!
Her lips curled and she suddenly spoke, “How can there be any scheme? Old Master Shen Yuansong is an upright man and has never stooped down low and used tricks. Since he is willing to give us this opportunity, we should just take it.”
Seeing how relaxed she was about this, Chu Cichen couldn’t help but cast a probing gaze at her.
Shen Ruojing coughed after sensing the probing look in Chu Cichen’s eyes.
Lu Cheng immediately spoke, “Lord Jing, you don’t understand the ways of the world. When there’s a freebie, there must be something strange hidden within! No matter how magnanimous Old Master Shen is, it is impossible for him to treat us so well at the expense of his Shen Corporation. Recently, the Bai Family has indeed treated us very well, and Matriarch Bai got many of the Bai Family’s businesses to link up with us. This is understandable because Bai Shanshan is her granddaughter. By doing so, she would be able to shore up confidence for her granddaughter, so she wouldn’t be bullied. But what about the Shen Family?”
After Lu Cheng said this, he laughed and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Lord Jing, don’t tell me you are a granddaughter of the Shen Family that was left outside?”
Shen Ruojing paused slightly upon hearing this.
If Lu Cheng wasn’t sincere about accepting the gift from the Shen Corporation, it would undermine her maternal grandfather’s kind intention.
Since that was the case, it was better to speak clearly about some things first.
After all, Lu Cheng wasn’t an outsider. He was the person Chu Cichen trusted the most.
Back then when Chu Cichen learned that someone close to him might be betraying him, he immediately isolated Lu Cheng. But recently, he had been sharing more and more things and becoming closer to Lu Cheng. From this, it could be proved that Lu Cheng was reliable.
Hence, Shen Ruojing coughed. “I didn’t say there isn’t such a possibility.”
Lu Cheng. “??”
He was stunned. “Lord Jing, did you say something earlier?”
