The atmosphere was somber in the chairman's office on the top floor of the Gu Group in the morning.

Gu Chengyu sat casually on the sofa, his long legs crossed, as if he was just there for a chat.

Sitting behind his large desk, Gu Zhenting's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You want to take down the Shen family? And you want half of their assets?"

Gu Zhenting put down the documents in his hand and looked at his son, his tone puzzled: "Chengyu, have you forgotten the Gu family's strategy?"

"We hold shares in major conglomerates and share some non-core technologies, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. Our goal has always been external: to consolidate and integrate the economic lifelines of small and medium-sized countries, making the Gu family an unshakeable top conglomerate globally, rather than engaging in internal strife!"

He stood up, walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, and spoke with increasing emphasis, his tone clearly showing his disapproval:

“You have been driving this strategy all these years, and you have seen the results.”

"Now that the Gu family stands at the pinnacle of the world and is looked up to by everyone, why are you suddenly turning your guns on your own people, or even the Shen family, whose ancestors were also prominent families?"

"Are you bored?"

Gu Chengyu raised his eyes and looked at his father; there was no hint of jest in his phoenix eyes.

"Dad, that was before."

"Now, things are different."

He leaned forward slightly, looking at Gu Zhenting with icy eyes: "Shen Que, he has his eye on my woman."

"It wasn't just a simple look; he used some methods that disgusted me."

He smirked, his tone casual yet firm: "I only want half of the Shen family's assets as a small punishment to teach them a lesson."

"Considering the past relationship between the two families, the fact that I, Gu Chengyu, did not directly swallow up the entire Shen family is already giving him face."

"you--!"

Gu Zhenting was so angry he almost smashed the cup. He pointed at Gu Chengyu and yelled, "You bastard! Do you know what you're saying?"

"You're going to start a fight over a woman? Have all those years of learning how to weigh pros and cons gone to waste?"

"Weighing the pros and cons?" Gu Chengyu scoffed, slowly stood up, straightened his cuffs, and adopted a noble and arrogant posture. "Dad, you've misunderstood something."

"I'm here not to discuss anything with you, but to inform you."

"I'm determined to take half of the Shen family's business."

He turned and walked towards the door, his voice not loud, but filled with confidence and arrogance, "Just wait and reap even greater profits and more assets."

After saying that, he opened the office door and walked out without looking back.

Gu Zhenting was left standing there alone, still clutching the glass of wine in his hand, his chest heaving.

"Rebellious son!"

"He takes advantage of his talent to act recklessly, and this time it's all for a woman?"

...

Two weeks later, financial news reported: The once-powerful Shen family has suffered a major blow!

With the Gu family's strong intervention, Shen's core trade routes and multiple cross-border collaborations have suddenly encountered changes, and are suspected of being blocked by top-level resources!

Shen's stock price has plummeted for several days, resulting in a staggering loss of market value!

Marketing accounts take action: digging into the core of the Shen Group's business.

The Shen family's most profitable businesses are not their glamorous media empire, but rather their low-profile tourism and global trade.

Recently, the Gu Group exerted swift and decisive pressure on both the military and political spheres, and within half a month, it quietly seized control of Shen's trading operations.

The ruthless methods of Gu Chengyu, the heir of the Gu family, have shocked the industry!

The four major families, who have always stood united against outsiders, are suspected to be experiencing their first internal strife?
