Chapter 51 A Plan to Turn the Tide
is that so?
Although Shen Jinxiu felt that something was amiss, since the factory manager had spoken, there shouldn't be any problem...
In the end, they left in a daze.
Anyway, it's only seven days, she can just wait.
Seven days later, the job transfer was successful.
Perhaps feeling that the job had been transferred and Shen Zhixia's usefulness had diminished, the two men were not as friendly towards her when she returned.
Shen Zhixia didn't care anyway.
After she got back, she just stayed in the house and didn't want to contact anyone.
After a good night's sleep, she walked out silently. As soon as she reached the second-floor corridor, she heard noises coming from downstairs.
"Dad, you're back." It was Shen Jinxiu's voice.
Mr. Shen said in a deep voice, "I have received news from above that the situation is not very peaceful right now. I plan to transfer my assets to Hong Kong first. If the situation affects us in the future, we will leave here."
Shen Jinxiu asked anxiously, "Dad, are we leaving now? But I just changed jobs, so does that mean I don't need to work here anymore?"
If her family leaves, then this job will naturally become unimportant, and wouldn't she have wasted her money on this job? Thinking about how much money she had spent, she felt angry, and Shen Zhixia had become cunning now, with no idea where she had hidden the money.
Mr. Shen said, “The situation is still uncertain. You still need to go to work. Since the job has been transferred to you, you can continue working for now. If we leave in the future, you can sell the job.”
Shen Jinxiu nodded: "Alright then."
Father Shen said, "Take inventory of the valuables in the basement and move them away first. Also, ask Shen Zhixia where she kept her dowry."
At this point, Shen Jinxiu said with dissatisfaction, "Over the years, my mother and I have asked her many times, but she has never revealed the whereabouts of the dowry. Do you think it's possible that there was no dowry at all?"
“Impossible.” Father Shen denied it outright: “Shen Zhixia must have a lot of dowry, and quite a lot of it. I have a good idea of the Shen family’s assets. Her mother did leave her a lot of assets back then.”
He originally married Shen's mother for her money, so he naturally inquired about her assets. Shen's mother was unlucky and died too young, so all her assets went to him. However, Shen's mother also secretly gave Shen Zhixia a portion of her assets. He inquired for many years but still didn't know where that portion of the assets was.
Mr. Shen said, "She has at least 500,000 in her hands."
Shen Jinxiu's eyes widened: "So many?"
Zhang Mei, who had been silent all along, suddenly brightened up and stood up: "Shen Zhixia refused to reveal the location of her dowry because of her mother's instructions, but she once said that she would reveal it once she got married."
"She doesn't like Wang Qiming. She just wants him to say he wants to marry her beforehand."
She was incredibly excited. That was 500,000 yuan! The thought of having that 500,000 yuan as hers left her completely overwhelmed her. She didn't know how to spend it.
Mr. Shen nodded: "I suspect that Shen Zhixia's dowry is with a relative. In any case, we must coax her to take out all her dowry this time so that I can move it away together. Also, take her house deeds."
Before her death, Shen's mother bought several courtyards for Shen Zhixia. Compared to the Shen family's wealth, these courtyards were not actually worth much, but Shen's father was determined to wipe them out and take all of Shen Zhixia's property.
The original owner was his biological daughter, but Shen's father showed her no mercy. If Shen's father had been willing to help the original owner even a little bit, her ending would not have been so tragic.
However, for Shen's father, the original owner of the body was a stain on his reputation. Shen's father came from a poor family, but he was good-looking and highly educated, otherwise he would not have been chosen by Shen's mother. After marrying Shen's mother, he always felt inferior, so he hated Shen's mother and Shen Zhixia.
Because whenever he sees Shen Zhixia, he is reminded of the time when he had nothing.
However, he found Zhang Mei and Shen Jinxiu to be different; their dependence on him greatly satisfied his male pride.
Zhang Mei said smugly, "Old Shen, don't worry, she still listens to me as much as ever, everything is under my control."
Father Shen nodded, looking at her with admiration: "You're still so smart. I believe that as long as you're there, you'll definitely be able to find out where the dowry is."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia's face turned cold. These people wanted her dowry, didn't they even know if they had the right to do so!
Since they were having such a lively discussion, Shen Zhixia decided not to show up.
Shen's father said to Zhang Mei, "You should also pack up all your assets from these years and move them with you later."
Zhang Mei nodded: "Okay."
Over the years, she managed these factories with Shen's father. She was also a deputy factory director, and of course, she had accumulated a lot of wealth. In addition, she had also accepted a lot of bribes.
Shen Zhixia touched her chin; she had almost forgotten that Zhang Mei still had money.
Too.
The assets in the basement were placed there by Shen's father a long time ago. Now, so many years have passed, they must have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
Now that she knows, all this money is hers.
That evening, Zhang Mei personally came to call Shen Zhixia for dinner. Shen Zhixia acted as if she knew nothing and simply followed Zhang Mei.
Chen's father was also at the dinner table.
When Shen's father saw Shen Zhixia, he was all smiles like a loving father: "Zhixia, I've met Wang Qiming. He's just a child. He said he wants to marry you, and I agree with this marriage."
Shen Zhixia said shyly, "Dad, please stop teasing me."
Mr. Shen said, “But I have received some news that things are not very peaceful lately. If the higher-ups investigate thoroughly, our family will be affected. So we won’t be able to stay in Shanghai for long.”
Shen Zhixia played along with him, her face full of worry: "What should we do then?"
Father Shen coughed and said, “So I plan to transfer the property away. You still have a few courtyards, right? Sell them all. Also, take out the dowry your mother left you and I will help you transfer it to Hong Kong.”
To convince Shen Zhixia, her father said, "We've been transferring assets recently and have started making preparations in advance. When we leave Shanghai together, you and Wang Qiming will be able to live a good life. If you leave your dowry here, when the situation gets serious, they will confiscate it all, and you will only be able to live a poor life."
Shen Zhixia looked very nervous, but she seemed to completely trust her father: "Dad, I'll listen to everything you say."
