The abandoned child of the Shen family

Shen Xingyu glared fiercely at Xu Wanying, his eyes filled with malice, his mind rapidly strategizing how to respond.

"I wonder how East Victory Group wishes to cooperate?"

"Our CEO Chen said that Secretary Gu Jianchuan threatened Dongsheng Group's executives, which greatly affected our company's operations, so Anren Group needs to provide some compensation."

"Yes, compensation is due. This time, it was our fault." Shen Wanhua suppressed his anger, his expression remaining calm and collected.

"It's best that CEO Shen thinks that way. Our CEO Chen heard that Anren Clothing under Anren Group is doing well and has a total of six factories. I wonder if you could sell half of them to East Victory Group at a low price? CEO Chen said he is willing to acquire them at the high price of 100,000 per factory."

"You—you're dreaming!" Shen Xingyu's veins popped on his forehead, his fists clenched tight. If he hadn't seen that Xu Wanying was a beautiful woman, he might have rushed up to hit her.

"Xingyu, don't be impulsive." Shen Wanhua didn't feel any better. Three clothing factories, even the smallest one covered over 200 mu, and there was so much equipment. You're offering a high price of 100,000? And you want to buy three at once! Are you crazy?

"CEO Xu must be joking. Which of Anren Group's clothing factories isn't worth millions? Moreover, they are important assets of our company, and we have no intention of selling them."

"Oh, in that case, then let's meet on the battlefield."

Xu Wanying stood up from the sofa again and walked out without looking back.

"CEO Xu, wait! How about selling one?"

"Two, no less!"

...

Watching Xu Wanying and her four companions leave, Shen Wanhua sighed, instantly looking several years older.

Two clothing factories were a considerable sum for Anren Group. Most importantly, for a family business like the Shen Family, being CEO didn't mean he could rest easy.

If he didn't perform well, a group of family members could hold a meeting to remove him, and the company's shares were not entirely his.

"Shen Xingyue, is this your strategy?" Shen Xingyu looked coldly at his sister, his face full of disdain.

"Not only were you easily manipulated by Chen Dong, but we also lost two clothing factories. Do you still have the nerve to sit here?"

"Alright, we're all family. Let's talk less." Shen Wanhua waved his hand, but he didn't deny his son's words.

This struggle was initiated by Shen Xingyue. Secretary Gu Jianchuan was originally going to be sent to the mining area in West Province, and it was Shen Xingyue who kept him, resulting in this mess. Shen Wanhua was also full of anger.

"Xingyu, from now on, these matters will be handled by you. Xingyue, assist your brother well."

Shen Wanhua directly set the tone, declaring that Shen Xingyue would henceforth leave the core circle and lose her decision-making power.

"Dad, I can do it alone. I don't need her assistance."

Shen Xingyu's eyes gleamed with cold light, and a sinister smile played on his lips.

"Sister should buy some nice clothes and spend more time dressing herself up well.

In a few days, Gong Han, the young master of the Gong Family, will come to Jinghai to travel. Sister should put some thought into making travel plans in advance and figure out how to entertain him well. That's the most important business right now."

"Alright, you handle it yourself. Think twice about everything, and if you're unsure about anything, be sure to discuss it with me..."

After giving his instructions, Shen Wanhua rubbed his brows.

"Xingyu, Chen Dong now has leverage over us, and he's the CEO of a large group, with a security company under him. This situation is very unfavorable for us."

"Dad, in this era, it's not appropriate to rashly move against Chen Dong, but we can move against Fang Qiang!"

Shen Xingyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"As long as Fang Qiang disappears from this world, what if Chen Dong exposes those dark secrets? As long as we flatly deny it, there's no evidence, no way to proceed..."

"Okay, you plan this well. You must not get involved personally. Just arrange for your subordinates to handle it. If something really goes wrong, it won't be connected to us."

...

Walking out of the office building, Shen Xingyue looked at the blood-red sunset. Despite the 37-degree high temperature, she felt a chill down her spine and shivered. Was she really just going to withdraw from this game?

Neither Shen Wanhua nor Shen Xingyu had ever truly regarded her as a member of the Shen Family, from beginning to end.

In their eyes, she was always just a woman, meant to marry. Her only value in this world was to eventually marry into a prominent family that could benefit the Shen Family!

And the reason they allowed her to participate in many company affairs was merely to cultivate her elegant demeanor and excellent abilities, all to fetch a better price!

Shen Xingyue saw everything clearly and understood it perfectly.

"Shen Wanhua, Shen Xingyu, I always thought we all shared the Shen surname and the same bloodline, and I diligently devoted my efforts to this family. But in the end, this is still the result.

If you are heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust!

You want to sell me to the Gong Family, don't you? To be honest, Gong Han is far inferior to Chen Dong in my eyes. Since I'm being sold anyway, why can't I choose my own buyer?"

Shen Xingyue took a deep breath, got into her BMW X7, and floored the accelerator.

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Jinghai Normal University, Chen Hong and Han Yike had already changed into beautiful clothes, wearing sun hats and sunglasses, and had applied sunscreen.

The two youthful and beautiful girls, wearing JK skirts and black and white knee-high socks, stood there like a beautiful scenic view.

There were many beautiful women at the Normal University, similar to the Foreign Language University, probably second only to music, dance, and art academies.

"Xiaohong, didn't we agree to rest well this weekend and go to my brother's place next weekend?"

Han Yike looked at the sun in the sky, waves of heat rolling in. Even standing in the shade was uncomfortable.

Fortunately, such weather should be ending soon. Just one more autumn rain, and the temperature should drop completely.

For Jinghai, autumn should be the most livable and comfortable season of the year.

"Hmph, who was it that, as soon as they heard my brother was coming to pick us up, immediately jumped out of bed, eagerly looking for pretty clothes and getting all dressed up?

Look at someone, even put on colored contacts, flaunting those big, captivating eyes, as if they could speak, so sparkling..."

Chen Hong pouted, looking at her good friend with a sarcastic tone—what a pity, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is not.

Her brother already had a girlfriend, and their relationship was especially good, so her best friend had no chance.

"You want to die?" Han Yike's pretty face flushed, and she reached out her delicate hand to tickle Chen Hong. The two immediately started playfully wrestling, attracting the attention of many passing 'wolf friends'.

"Haha, stop it, or we'll have a wardrobe malfunction..."

Upon hearing about a potential live wardrobe malfunction, passersby nearby slowed their steps, their eyes subtly glancing at the two beautiful girls.

Unfortunately, they were all disappointed. Besides hearing their hearty laughter and seeing their beautiful faces and lovely figures, everything else was completely covered up...
