If Lei Xuan manages to persuade any major shareholder to sell him their shares at this point, or if he doesn't need to buy them but only requires the major shareholder's support, then Lei Xuan will be fired.

How could this be?

Gao Sen rubbed his face wearily.

He regretted it somewhat, realizing he had offended the Sheng family and his son too much.

Otherwise, just for the sake of being family, if he were to manage both Sheng Yao and Gao Xi's shares, he would never be as worried as he is now.

Thinking of this, a look of pain appeared on Gao Sen's handsome face. He paused, and couldn't help but think of the scheming Lei Xuan.

Spoiler Alert [Wuxia/JX3 Crossover]. Gao Sen instinctively sensed the ill intentions behind this scoundrel's pursuit of Shen Wangshu. He locked himself in his study all night, finally figuring out how to rebuild his empire. Exhausted, he emerged from his study to find Chu Xiangyun dozing at his doorway.

Hearing the noise, she looked up and immediately stood up in surprise, exclaiming, "Ah Sen, are you alright?" She walked over with a worried look and touched his forehead, saying sadly, "You looked very unwell yesterday, I was really worried about you."

But aside from worrying, Chu Xiangyun was completely useless.

She couldn't help at all, and all she did was cry.

Gao Sen looked at Chu Xiangyun, who was still wearing the white dress from yesterday, looking beautiful and charming, yet somewhat haggard and pitiful. He suddenly frowned and impatiently pushed her hand away.

If it were Sheng Jia, she would only ask at this moment, "What can I do for you?"

In these turbulent times, he needed a woman who could help him and weather the storm with him, not a woman who only knew how to cry helplessly and needed his constant care. Besides, Chu Xiangyun lacked worldly wisdom; she didn't even understand what Lei Xuan's purchase of so many shares in the Gao family meant. Her understanding was far inferior to that of his deceased wife. As for physical comfort, Gao Sen was truly in no mood for it right now.

He didn't consider himself a spendthrift who only knew how to sleep with women.

"Would you like me to cook you something?" Chu Xiangyun asked timidly, startled by Gao Sen's coldness.

Gao Sen shoved her away without answering and headed out the door.

"Ah Sen, I have something else." Chu Xiangyun hurriedly grabbed him. Under Gao Sen's impatient gaze, she suddenly blushed, cupped her lower abdomen with both hands, and said with a hint of longing, "I..."

"Wait until I get back." Gao Sen didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. Seeing her stammering, he became even more impatient and left.

He walked quickly, decisively and with great momentum, oblivious to Chu Xiangyun's sorrowful expression behind him. He was now busy acquiring shares from scattered small shareholders to counter Lei Xuan, and also trying to win over some major shareholders, hoping they would side with him. He appealed to their reason and emotions, mentioning the old friendships between their elders and making many promises for the future, but it was all just a drop in the ocean.

After all, businessmen value profit. Lei Xuan can give Gao Sen something that Gao Sen can't, but Lei Xuan can give something that Gao Sen can.

He has plenty of money and resources, enough to crush Gao Sen.

Gao Sen had been running around to several places all morning, but only received ambiguous answers. He was exhausted, but then he received news that made his eyes widen in fury.

Lei suddenly suspended its downtown cooperation project with Gao.

This action immediately made Gao Sen's heart sink.

The cooperation project in the city center involves too many factors, and the initial investment was already a huge sum of money. If the Gao family were to bear the burden alone, although they could manage it, it would be a very difficult task. But if it is suspended now, all his previous efforts would have been wasted.

He didn't understand why Lei Xuan was acting as if he wanted to kill him. After all, he and Lei Xuan had no real grudge against each other. If there was any, it was only because of the issue with the second young lady of the Sheng family. But he hadn't had a chance to pursue Shen Wangshu, so it couldn't be said that they were rivals in love, right?

Although the Gao family is a piece of fat meat, it's easy to get pricked if you're not careful. Lei Xuan is a smart man; if he wants to acquire a company, there are plenty of easy targets.

Pharmacists in the Republic of China era.

Take the Sheng family for example. The father is old and weak, and there is no one to carry on the family line. Can't they just bully them however they want?

Why……

Gao Sen couldn't understand it, but he had been driven to the brink. He disregarded all manners and stormed into Lei Xuan's president's office. He pushed aside Secretary Dong, who was trying to stop him, and barged into the office, only to find that today, Lei Xuan's usually quiet and oppressive office was filled with the laughter of children and bright sunshine.

Lei Xuan, who wanted to drive him to his death, was sitting behind his desk, holding a beautiful woman with a charming smile on his lap and talking to her in a low voice. On the sofa next to him, the handsome Lei Ze was dressed in a snow-white suit and looked stunningly beautiful.

He was smiling as he held a little boy, also dressed in a white suit, and told him a story, his expression full of affection.

A little brown bear was rolling around on the thick carpet, from east to west and from west to east, enjoying itself immensely.

The child listening to the story seemed to hear something and let out a giggle. His little face was snow-white, and his beautiful, happy eyes shone brightly beneath his soft, black hair.

Gao Sen's angry expression suddenly froze.

The child he saw, happily hugging Razer, was actually Gao Xi.

He and Lei Ze were so close, and they even dressed similarly; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were father and son.

"Xiao Xi?" Suddenly remembering that Gao Xi had shares that he had given away, Gao Sen felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw the scene before him, as well as the pain of losing something very important. But he couldn't care less about that. He carefully walked over and bent down to look at his son.
