Chapter 4 Chapter 4 (Revised) Let’s see who is embarrassing himself…
Shen Wenjin thought for a moment, and his previous rage gradually subsided. Breaking the contract would always be criticized, but now the problem was thrown to Zhou. There would always be a reason to delay or simply not sign.
"Liuyun, Muyun's mischief is fine, but why did you agree with him? The secretary has checked this document several times and found no problems. How come something went wrong when we signed the contract today? What's wrong with you two?"
"Mr. Shen, then we have to talk about what happened on the cruise ship yesterday."
"Mr. Zhou, you can't be shameless. I'm just objectively stating the contract issues. As for what happened on the cruise ship..."
Before Shen Muyun could continue, Shen Liuyun adjusted the frame of his glasses and continued directly, "Mr. Zhou, what happened yesterday was really embarrassing. It was Young Master Zhou who pushed my brother into the water. If my brother wasn't a good swimmer, who knows what would have happened today."
"you!"
Zhou Qingshi's face turned purple. He was always in the wrong and had no way to defend himself.
Shen Liuyun pursed his lips and smiled, gently adjusting his glasses, and looked in the direction of Zhou Qingshi, "How about this, Mr. Zhou, as for this contract, just treat it as if someone has switched it. In the business world, things come and go. Since this contract is invalid, it's not impossible to give you a new one."
What happened on the cruise ship yesterday? According to the description in that badly-ended novel, he should have been a villain cannon fodder, and died at yesterday's party. The subsequent plot should have been that Zhou framed Shen, but now, everything has changed. It is no longer the same as before. Simply put, the plot is crazy.
Shen Muyun's ears were filled with gossip.
"What kind of person is Zhou? They are not clean to begin with. I told Mr. Shen before that his company was registered overseas in order to do some shady things. Look, now I can believe it."
"Please be quiet. Look at their expressions, they're on edge. This is a conference room, and this is a multi-billion dollar project. Who knows how many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat? To be honest, they can turn a blind eye to the minor issues in the contract, but the Second Young Master of the Shen family is making such a fuss."
"Isn't the Second Young Master of the Shen family famous for not asking about the company's affairs? He hasn't even been here a few times, why did he suddenly change his personality? Could it be that he wants to compete with Shen Liuyun for the right of inheritance? That's not right, doesn't he claim to be a playboy?"
Chen Muyun has a firm grasp on the faces of these shareholders. What kind of people are they? It is only a matter of time before they are cleared out.
Zhou Qingshi listened to everyone's speeches, clenched his fists tightly, with his fingertips deeply embedded in his palms, squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.
"Boss Shen, I think there were some issues with this contract when it was first reviewed. Please don't take it to heart. I'll go back and draft a new one. If there are any shortcomings, they can be corrected. After all, we've discussed this project many times before, so..."
When Shen Muyun saw the contract on the table, he glanced directly at Zhou Qingshi, which made him feel a chill running up his spine.
"Mr. Zhou, you've already mentioned that the contract has some shortcomings. If that's the case, let's put today's signing on hold. Let's end today's meeting here. It's time for lunch, so let's adjourn!"
Shen Muyun smiled at Shen Liuyun, but Shen Liuyun immediately looked away. He couldn't figure out what Shen Liuyun meant for a moment, but this was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with.
"Now that we've come to this, let's adjourn the meeting!"
Shen Wenjin walked straight out of the meeting room with the documents, followed by the shareholders.
"Muyun, why are you here?"
Shen Liuyun walked around the table in front and came to Shen Muyun's eyes. He tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, his eyes flickering. Shen Muyun didn't understand what it meant, but just thought that one should be on guard against others.
"Ah, well, I woke up early this morning and saw the news that Shen's was going to join forces with Zhou's. I casually flipped through the contract and saw that there were indeed some problems in it, so I thought of coming over to take a look."
"You used to be indifferent to the company's affairs, but today you're really active. Muyun, when doing business, sometimes you have to turn a blind eye. But thanks to you, the Zhou contract wasn't signed hastily. Well, I have an appointment, so I'll be leaving now."
Shen Muyun waved towards Shen Liuyun, “Brother, drive slowly on the road and go home early!”
Shen Liuyun felt inexplicably strange when listening to Shen Muyun’s words, but he didn’t delve into it, and just nodded in greeting.
Most of the people in the conference room had left, and only then did Shen Muyun leave.
Walking in the corridor, it was so quiet that only his voice could be heard. The system suddenly jumped out from the side, causing Shen Muyun to feel a palpitation in his heart, and he slapped the system directly.
"You're trying to scare me to death!"
The system flashed the screen in a wronged tone. "Um, Master Host, I just wanted to congratulate you. I didn't expect this contract to be so simple and completed so neatly."
"Nonsense, this isn't a difficult thing. Why, is this worth celebrating?"
"Of course it's worth it. But, how should I put it, it proves that I'm a visionary system. So many systems before me weren't as capable as me. I'm truly amazing! But, host, you have to be extremely alert, because each mission will be more difficult than the last."
“So narcissistic.”
Chen Muyun held his forehead, he looked at the elevator and the emergency exit on the side, and chose to go straight down. There were many people in the elevator, and it would be a mistake if he spoke too much. He had not yet mastered the operating rules of this world, and did not know the specific situation of the original owner, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
"System, when did you come out without anyone noticing? Is this considered a mission?"
"Emm, how should I put it? This is the first stage of a mission, and the mission will also have main missions and side missions, main missions and secondary missions..."
"Stop, stop talking. It's giving me a headache. Can you tell me if the missions will progress step by step, gradually increasing in difficulty?"
"Host, you are so smart. Our mission is to progress step by step. According to the favorability prompt, Shen Wenjin's favorability towards you has become ten, but Shen Liuyun's favorability has become negative five. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Did you just have a fight with your brother?"
Shen Muyun paused. This system was really unusual. It also had a favorability system. Could it be that if he collected the full level of favorability from seven people, he could summon a dragon and make a wish or something?
"System, what's the meaning of this favorability?"
The system paused, flipping through the previous records. "Actually, it seems, it doesn't seem to have any particularly significant effect. It's still under development, so to speak. However, the system still has many unknown areas that it hasn't explored, and the host needs to interpret them bit by bit. There are some parts that the previous Chosen Ones haven't touched upon. So, well, host, keep going. I can't provide much support, so you still have to rely on yourself."
Shen Muyun raised his middle finger. This system was useless. Others had a golden finger, but his system was probably here to disrupt the situation. It knew nothing when asked.
"Well, host, please don't be impatient. After all, I haven't been working on the system for long, so it still needs a break-in period. Whether it's long or short, there will always be a way out. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain."
Shen Muyun didn't like the endless calling voices. "Okay, I don't have anything to do for now. You can go and rest."
"Okay, dear host, if you need me for anything, please contact me immediately. Just call me and I will come back. Honey, I'm leaving! Blow a kiss!"
Shen Muyun got goosebumps. How could this system have such a perverse quality? Never mind. I’ve been selected. Now I have to think about what to do next.
Walking down the safety passage, he felt calmer. Today's events had gone smoothly. He had originally thought that Shen Wenjin would be furious and even not give him face, but his performance seemed more like he needed someone, someone who could speak for him and point out the problem with the contract. In other words, he had seen it, but for some reason, it was not easy for him to handle it personally.
As for what kind of medicine Shen Liuyun was selling in his gourd, Shen Muyun didn't know. He inexplicably felt a sense of hostility. Everything Shen Liuyun did now seemed to be arranged. In the eyes of outsiders, they would be the best of brothers, but they had not met privately yet and didn't know what the situation was. It is better to be safe than sorry. This is the first rule Shen Muyun learned in this world.
After walking out of the safety passage, I found that the weather outside had changed at some point. The originally sunny day became gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
I wanted to leave quickly and go home to have some rest, but I seemed to have a stiff neck from sleeping on the boat. My neck was inexplicably painful and my eyes were a little uncomfortable, as if I had been looking at the computer screen for too long and my eyes were very dry.
But the figure in front of him moved and blocked his way.
"Tsk, so you came here to break the contract. Shen Muyun, are you specifically going against the Zhou family?"
Chen Muyun looked at the person who came and smiled softly, "A defeated general is showing off his power here?"
"Chen Muyun, I thought you had some ability, just relying on the power of the Shen family? Don't forget that the overseas department of the Shen family still needs the support of our Zhou family."
Chen Muyun ignored his words and walked straight out of the building, bumping into Zhou Shiqing, who staggered.
He grabbed Shen Muyun's arm dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean?"
Chen Muyun looked at him dismissively, "It's meaningless. People should avoid dealing with dogs. Gradually, their habits will converge. Do you understand? Look at your father, and then look at you. Tsk, this is like the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked."
Zhou Shiqing's anger instantly rushed out of his body, and he pointed at Shen Muyun's nose, "Shen Muyun, it's not good to be too arrogant."
Chen Muyun followed Zhou Shiqing's hand and pushed him against the wall. "I'm not good at arguing with dogs. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out. You're wasting my time here. Besides, it's about to rain, and I don't want to get wet again."
Zhou Shiqing used the force to hook his foot and kicked Shen Muyun's calf fiercely. Shen Muyun's muscles reacted quickly and he dodged immediately, causing Zhou Shiqing to almost lose his balance and stagger and fall.
"What a useless thing."
"Waste? I'm afraid you're talking about yourself."
Zhou Shiqing took a few steps back, smiled at Shen Muyun, and even raised his middle finger, "Shen Muyun, do you dare to compete with me?"
Chen Muyun was not someone to be trifled with, and he was even more furious when he heard Zhou Shiqing's provocation. "Oh? What else do you want to compare? My patience is limited."
Zhou Shiqing straightened his clothes and looked up at Chen Muyun. "It's simple. On the weekend, let's go to the outskirts of the city. There's a horse farm over there. Didn't you always say that you're a master at horse racing? I want to see what you're capable of."
Shen Muyun smiled secretly. In his original world, he had studied horsemanship. This might have directly hit his strong point. "Okay, we'll have to find some witnesses to see who is embarrassing himself."
