He cleared his throat and said, "Wan'er, I...I'm here to resign."

The sound was not loud, but it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Shangguan Wan was stunned, her pen hovering in mid-air, she could hardly believe her ears.

"Second Uncle, what...what did you say?"

Shangguan Wan's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of disbelief.

You know, Shangguan Cheng has always been against her and has always wanted to take the president's position for himself. How come he suddenly changed his personality?

This doesn't make sense!

Shangguan Cheng took a deep breath, seemingly having made a great decision, and continued, "I said, I resign, I'm quitting."

He tried to make his tone sound calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed his inner nervousness.

Outside the window, the sun shines brightly, and a gentle breeze rustles through the treetops.

Inside the office, however, all was silent.

Shangguan Wan looked at her second uncle with hesitation.

This man has been her enemy from the moment she joined the company.

At the shareholders' meeting, he stirred up trouble and tried to bring her down; during project decisions, he obstructed and hindered progress at every turn; when the company encountered a crisis, he took advantage of her misfortune and made sarcastic remarks.

It can be said that every step Shangguan Wan took in Fengling Group was extremely difficult, and Shangguan Cheng played an indispensable role in this.

But now, this man has actually offered to resign?

Has the sun risen in the west?

Shangguan Wan was filled with doubts; she simply couldn't understand what Shangguan Cheng was up to.

"Second Uncle, are you...are you joking with me?"

Shangguan Wan asked tentatively, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

She hoped it was just a joke by Shangguan Cheng, a prank.

But the expression on Shangguan Cheng's face told her that it was all true.

Shangguan Cheng gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "Wan'er, I'm not joking, I'm serious."

He paused, a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "I know I've done many things to wrong you over the years, causing you a lot of trouble. But now... now that Fengling Group and Xingkong Group are cooperating, the future looks bright, and I have no other thoughts."

His voice was deep and hoarse, as if he had experienced countless vicissitudes.

Shangguan Wan looked at Shangguan Cheng quietly, trying to find a flaw in his eyes.

But she was disappointed.

Shangguan Cheng's eyes were clear and open, without the slightest hint of evasion.

"Second Uncle, are you... are you really sure?"

Shangguan Wan's voice still sounded somewhat hesitant.

"I've thought it through." Shangguan Cheng nodded, his tone firm: "Wan'er, I'm old and can't keep up with the pace. From now on... I'll hand the company over to you. I promise I'll never go against you again."

A look of fatigue appeared on his face, as if he had aged considerably in an instant.

Looking at Shangguan Cheng in front of her, Shangguan Wan felt a mix of emotions.

She didn't know whether to believe him or continue to doubt him.

But seeing Shangguan Cheng's sincere expression, she wavered again.

Perhaps he has truly come to his senses?

Perhaps he genuinely wants to make amends for his past mistakes?

Shangguan Wan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Okay, Second Uncle, I... I agree to your resignation."

Her voice was soft, but full of power.

Now that Shangguan Cheng has made his choice, there's no need for her to continue entangled with him.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Cheng smiled with relief.

"Thank you, Wan'er."

He bowed deeply and turned to walk towards the door.

Just as he was about to step out of the office.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It was a cold, calculated kind of coldness.

It was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, or a vicious wolf eyeing its prey.

He was completely different from before.

"Wan'er, better safe than sorry. I don't think this matter is that simple."

Qin Yang walked to Shangguan Wan's side, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"I've dealt with Shangguan Cheng a few times. He's extremely shrewd and not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat."

"His sudden resignation is probably...for some other purpose."

Qin Yang's voice was deep and powerful, each word striking Shangguan Wan's heart.

Shangguan Wan was slightly taken aback. Recalling the look in Shangguan Cheng's eyes when he left, her heart skipped a beat.

That look clearly concealed something!

"Yes, you're right, I also feel that something is not right."

Shangguan Wan nodded, her brows furrowed.

“I’ll have someone keep an eye on him and see what he’s up to.”

There was a hint of determination in her voice.

No matter what schemes or tricks Shangguan Cheng may have, she will not let him succeed!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, inside a luxurious villa.

Lin Wanrou slowly opened her eyes, and sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her delicate face.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched.

I got up, washed up, and changed into a business suit.

She looked beautiful and charming in the mirror, but with a hint of weariness.

She always felt that something was missing from the villa, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go to the company first."

She shook her head, picked up her bag, and walked out of the villa.

Lin's Group, President's Office.

As soon as Lin Wanrou entered the door, her assistant, Xiao Li, rushed in.

"President Lin, have you seen the news? Fengling Group and Xingkong Group have partnered!"

Xiao Li's voice carried a hint of excitement.
