Chu Jin arrived at the tomb, placed flowers, and knelt down in deep reverence.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Shao Bowen, once a person dies, everything in this world is wiped clean.

Chu Jin turned around, looked Shao Xiang up and down, and said, "You've lost weight. Did you lose weight drastically because you were too heartbroken? That's an interesting way to lose weight."

Shao Xiang smiled and said, "You haven't lost weight, have you?"

"You've lost weight!" Chu Jin insisted. "I was on a diet recently, but seeing how thin you've become, I've decided to break my rule and treat you to a big meal."

Shao Xiang said quietly, "It was clearly you who wanted to eat a big meal."

"Shao! Xiang!"

"Thank you, Xiao Jin, for treating me to a big meal."

"Walk!"

The two left the tomb and went to a high-end restaurant.

While ordering, Chu Jin said, "This restaurant is different from those fancy restaurants that focus on appearances. The food here is delicious. Although it's expensive, it's worth the price. This is a hidden gem restaurant in my mind. I don't usually bring people here."

In just half a minute, Chu Jin ordered four or five dishes. Shao Xiang said, "Xiao Jin, don't order anymore, that's enough."

"I ordered all of this for myself. If you want to eat, order it yourself." Chu Jin looked at Shao Xiang with the same look she gave him when she thought he was an idiot.

Okay, Shao Xiang forgot that Chu Jin was a foodie.

The two ordered their food.

Chu Jin rested her chin on her right hand and said, "Your father is gone. What do you plan to do next?"

Shao Xiang shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Why don't you repeat a year and get into my university next year, then become my little brother. I'll protect you at school."

Shao Xiang smiled slightly: "Xiao Jin, don't try to comfort me by beating around the bush. You know the relationship between me and my dad. I'm not that sad."

Shao Xiang, or rather Shao Bowen's children, are not very familiar with Shao Bowen...

Shao Bowen was so focused on his work that he rarely cared about his children, so even after his passing, everyone remained calm and unaffected.

Chu Jin pointed her index finger: "You unfilial son!"

Knowing that Shao Xiang wasn't too upset, Chu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the two chatted much more easily afterward, eating and talking at the same time.

Suddenly, Chu Jin frowned slightly.

Shao Xiang heard a series of camera clicks and hip-hop music in his ears.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a group of beautiful women dressed in bright clothes and with exquisite makeup taking pictures around several small cakes, shooting from various angles, and even taking photos with them.

Those beautiful women held cakes in their hands, taking photos of one after another.

Shao Xiang said to the waiter, "Please tell them to keep their voices down."

The waiter walked over to the group of women, bent down and whispered a few words. Then the group of beautiful women looked at Shao Xiang with timid eyes.

Shao Xiang clasped his hands in a gesture of apology.

The group of beautiful women expressed their embarrassment and quickly apologized.

Then the group of beautiful women quieted down considerably.

While stuffing food into her stomach, Chu Jin said, "Just eat properly, why take pictures? The greatest respect for food is to finish it."

Shao Xiang said, "Not everyone is an anorexic like you."

Chu Jin considers herself an anorexic; she hates food and feels it must be eradicated.

The two ate and chatted, and then left the restaurant after finishing their meal.

The group of beautiful women breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two leave.

A pretty woman muttered, "Where are we making noise? We're just taking pictures, why do you have to stop us?"

"There's nothing we can do, we have too many people, it's really noisy," said one of the girls in charge. "And we only ordered a few cakes, which is a bit inappropriate."

"Do you think we'd want to order several cakes? It's just that the food here is too expensive. We can't afford to order any of the dishes, so we can only order a few cakes. But even so, a few cakes cost tens of thousands of yuan. It's just too expensive."

"Okay, enough of that, let's take the picture."

The group of women then took photos around the cakes, posing for various group photos. After the photos were taken, the women shared the cakes.

"Wow, this cake is delicious."

"It's the most delicious cake I've ever eaten."

"I really want to be rich so I can eat cakes like this every day."

“... ..."

After the group finished sharing the food, the girl in the lead said to the waiter, "Hello, check please."

The waiter greeted them respectfully: "Someone has already paid your bill."

"Huh? Someone paid the bill? Who paid?"

"It's that gentleman from earlier," the waiter explained. "He was very sorry to have disturbed your photo-taking, so he paid the bill as an apology. He also booked a banquet for you as a way of expressing his remorse."

Afterwards, the hotel staff brought out a variety of the hotel's delicacies, filling the table with an extremely lavish spread.

The group of beautiful women looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This table must cost at least six figures, right?"

"These are the real rich people."

"If only I had cash..."

... ...

The news of Shao Bowen's departure spread in the financial market, causing panic among many small shareholders and retail investors, who sold off their shares in Huaruitong Company, causing the stock price to plummet.

Zhong Rou's investigation report became even more convincing at this point.

Retail investors and minority shareholders are wondering if there is a suitable successor to continue leading Huaruitong Company.

Numerous rumors circulated, such as: infighting among the Shao family successors, vying for shares; the second son refusing to relinquish his shares being brutally beaten by the eldest son; and the eldest sister coming out as gay...

In any case, with such false rumors circulating, Huaruitong Company is in a precarious situation.

... ...

Wen Qing walked into Zhong Rou's office and said, "Rou Rou, Hua Ruitong Company has spent a huge amount of money to buy its own company's stock. Now the stock price has stopped falling and is even rising. It seems that their attitude is very firm."

"Out of respect for my brother-in-law, I gave Huaruitong Company seven days to react. I didn't touch Huaruitong at all. I thought that the people at Huaruitong would take new actions when facing a crisis. It seems I was wrong."

Zhong Rou put her legs on the table: "Without Shao Bowen, the people at Huaruitong are all useless."

Wen Qing asked, "So what should we do next? Sell off our Huaruitong shares?"

“No rush,” Zhong Rou said. “Selling now would be suicidal; they’ll buy it all and wipe out our chips.”

She immediately stood up and straightened her clothes: "I need to meet someone and get enough leverage."

Zhong Rou took Jiang Jiaqi to a coffee shop.

The two sat for a while, and then a middle-aged woman in her thirties, dressed in luxurious clothes, entered the coffee shop. She was Shao Xiang's second sister.

The second sister of the Shao family naturally knew Zhong Rou, who was currently targeting Hua Ruitong.

The second sister of the Shao family walked over quickly: "Were you looking for me?"

"Sit down." Zhong Rou nodded.

"There's nothing between us." The second sister of the Shao family didn't give Zhong Rou any face and prepared to leave directly.

Zhong Rou said calmly, "The eldest son of the Shao family has been with Huaruitong for decades. Everyone in the company is his man, and many shareholders are on his side, supporting him to become chairman. Once the eldest son of the Shao family becomes chairman, you younger brothers and sisters will definitely be purged."

"What do you want?" The second sister of the Shao family stopped in her tracks and sat down opposite her.

“Sell me your shares.”

Why should I sell to you instead of the boss?

"Because I offered the highest price!"

The second sister of the Shao family pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Let me think about it."

Then he left.

Jiang Jiaqi asked in confusion, "Rou Rou, why should we spend a high price to buy her shares?"

"Hmm... ...profitable."
