After the meal, the rest of the Shen family went to sit in the main hall. Shen Jiazhou watched them exchanging insincere compliments, glanced at his watch, and just then, Old Master Shen, who had finished his oxygen therapy, came over leaning on his cane.

He smiled broadly and said, "We're a family, that's how we should sit together and keep this old man company."

As people get older, this is the scene they like the most. Grandpa Shen looked at Shen Jiazhou and said, "Remember to bring our Cancan next time. He looks exactly like your brother when he was a child. He's so clever. He will definitely be a good child of our Shen family in the future."

After Grandpa Shen finished speaking, the expressions on everyone else's faces were quite interesting. Shen Jiazhou pretended not to notice and got up from the sofa: "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."

He walked toward the elevator. Old Master Shen wanted to say something, but after Shen Jiazhou had already walked to the elevator, he also signaled the butler to help him slowly walk over.

The three of them took the elevator to the second floor, which was the Shen family's study. The entire floor was open-plan.

Shen Jiazhou said to the butler, "You may leave now."

He took Old Master Shen's arm and they slowly walked together into the study to the sofa.

After helping him sit down, Grandpa Shen paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Jia Zhou, Grandpa is getting old. Look, it's only a few steps, and you need to rest properly."

Shen Jiazhou said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, you are still very young."

Grandpa Shen waved his hand: "You don't need to say these things to comfort me. I know my own health condition very well. I don't have many days left to live."

He sighed, "Before I die, I want our family to live in harmony, so that when I go down to reunite with your grandmother, she won't chase after me and beat me."

Shen Jiazhou didn't say anything, but walked to the side and brought back two glasses of warm water.

He handed a glass to Old Master Shen, then took one for himself and sat down on the single sofa.

Grandpa Shen continued to look at him: "Jiazhou, I know why you came back tonight. Cancan is your brother's child, and he is destined to return to the Shen family. Once he returns, he can use all of the Shen family's resources, which will be a great help to him now and in the future."

“I only issued that statement after I had thought it through. Also, if Can Can’s aunt is willing to hand over guardianship, we can give her a large sum of money so she can live a better life. If she misses Can Can, the door of our Shen family will always be open to her, and she can come to see Can Can anytime she wants.”

Shen Jiazhou drank half of the water and then placed the glass on the coffee table.

Grandpa Shen looked at him, and Shen Jiazhou said, word by word, "Grandpa, even if Cancan doesn't return to the Shen family, he will still have a bright and free future."

“You clearly understand that the Shen family has never truly been harmonious, so why are you so persistent?” Shen Jiazhou said calmly, “Right now, you’re just wasting your time.”

It wore down everyone's patience.

Others may not know, but at least his patience has run out.

Shen Jiazhou leaned back on the sofa and looked at Old Master Shen: "How many people have been eager for me to step down from that position these past two years? Can't you see that? But you still didn't say anything or impose any restrictions. I had to manage the company on one hand and deal with the obstacles they were trying to trip me up on the other."

"They won't act recklessly when it comes to matters of principle," said Old Master Shen. "Besides, after you took over the Shen family, some of the rules will definitely make them unhappy, but we're all family, and aren't they behaving themselves now?"

"That's because I've kept them from making the same mistake again." Shen Jiazhou looked at Old Master Shen and realized that he had no emotions left, not even helplessness or powerlessness.

Be happy.

Nothing is more important than being happy.

Shen Jiazhou also gave up on the idea of ​​speaking to the old man in a tactful way. His tone turned colder: "Even at this point, you still want to smooth things over."

Old Master Shen said, "I didn't."

“I didn’t come here today to hear you say these things,” Shen Jiazhou said. “Grandpa, after I leave, you can tell those people downstairs that if they want to go back to the company, they can report to the company tomorrow and choose any position they want.”

Old Master Shen's eyes lit up slightly: "Jia Zhou, what's this?"

"Yes." Shen Jiazhou said, "I've figured it out. The company is so big, I really can't handle it all by myself. Let them come back, and keep their positions as before."

Grandpa Shen smiled and said, "Good!"

Shen Jiazhou said, "Also, they have been trying to acquire Shen's shares. I can release some of them and sell them to them at three times the market price."

Shen Jiazhou is now the largest shareholder of the Shen family. Old Master Shen has heard too much about the shares from other people, but he really can't talk to Shen Jiazhou about this.

But to my surprise, Shen Jiazhou brought up the matter himself, and he was actually willing to make concessions!

Old Master Shen said, "Alright, once you've thought this through, I'll talk to them. Three times the market price isn't enough! I'll make them pay four times!"

Although it's said to be the market price, the actual price of Shen's shares is often significantly higher when they are actually traded.

Four times is actually a pretty good price.

Shen Jiazhou looked at Old Master Shen's face and pursed his lips slightly: "However, Grandpa, I have a condition."

Old Master Shen asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Don't bother Cancan," Shen Jiazhou said softly. "He's being well taken care of by his aunt. If you can't do this, then just pretend you never heard anything I just said."
