Chapter 395 Deep Virtual Reality 223
"Absurd!" The inkstone slammed down, and ink mixed with blood flowed down the kneeling youth's forehead.
His head was spinning, and the young man quickly crawled over and hugged Shen Mingyan's leg. "Uncle, Uncle, I was wrong. I really didn't mean to. I didn't know that person would sell me!"
"You don't know? Just because you don't know doesn't mean you can talk nonsense?"
Shen Xiuying sat demurely, holding a cup of tea in her hand, watching the farce unfold before her with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. Only when Shen Mingyan clutched his chest in anger did she leisurely step forward to comfort him.
He glanced at the young man on the ground with a look of disappointment and frustration, "Cousin, really, you know Father's health is not good, and you still did something like this."
Then she comforted her father, "Father, my cousin is just too playful. He hasn't had a proper job these past few years. Let him go out and explore the world; that will toughen him up..."
As Shen Xiuying spoke, the father's emotions gradually calmed down, and the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, giving Shen Xiuying a grateful look.
Shen Xiuying continued, "My cousin was indeed wrong about Second Uncle's matter, but it's not beyond redemption. I've already had the Shen family's official announcement issued, and the situation online is alright now. In a few days, we'll hold Second Uncle's funeral, and I'll definitely make it a grand and dignified affair..."
She didn't mention money; it was just a loss from a few days, and Shen's father didn't care. What he cared about was his reputation.
Shen Xiuying smiled broadly, in a very pleasant mood. Of course she would hold a grand funeral, after all, she had taken over the position of vice president.
As for her good-for-nothing cousin, he just moves wherever there's a need for reform. If she doesn't let him cause trouble, she can't really take action to reorganize the various branches. There are bound to be parasites in a family business, and she has to clean them up.
"Ya Ya, you are still the most obedient and sensible one. Xiao Xin is gone, and your older brother is a cold and heartless person. But you must make sure he comes back to attend your second uncle's funeral this time."
"certainly."
Shen Xiuying agreed readily. As for whether they would come or not, it would depend on her older brother's mood. They were no longer children, and no one could force them.
Back in her room, Shen Xiuying had just locked the door when she received a communication request from Shen Chen.
"Brother, everything's taken care of. I'll take over Shen's businesses in Nanhu District first. How's it going on your end?"
"The rebels retreated quickly, which saved us trouble." Otherwise, he would have had to find a way to prevent the use of large-scale tracking missiles.
Shen Xiuying poured herself a glass of wine to celebrate, then asked, "By the way, the person you forwarded to me, Xie Ning, I've read the plan that Director Xie sent. Arming civilians is an unrealistic idea."
What's remarkable is that she also knew this was impractical and inconvenient for social management, so she proposed a defensive everyday equipment design, which was specifically designed for existing, known alien creatures, a very ingenious idea.
But this is a losing proposition, even if it benefits the people.
Shen Chen remained silent, waiting for Shen Xiuya's response.
"But I quite like it. The Shen family is not short of money. Once I'm established, I'll directly cooperate with the federal government." Speaking of the federal government, Shen Xiuya gets a headache.
For no other reason than the president at the very top. If this president had even a little bit of say, many things would be much easier to do. But unfortunately, he is a puppet who has been pushed out. The real decision-makers are the conglomerates behind him, including the Shen family.
Regarding the alien creature incident a few days ago, if Shen Chen hadn't taken time out of his busy schedule to forcefully change the meeting's decision, the security guards and awakened individuals from various major forces would probably still be fighting.
Even now, so many people have died, and the higher-ups are still lamenting it. Anyway, it wasn't them who died; it's just a matter of paying a few more compensation payments.
"I heard that a security guard intercepted some body tissue from that alien creature? What's the situation now? Was it taken by an official research institute for study, or was it taken by a private individual?"
Seeing Shen Chen frown, Shen Xiuya understood; it had indeed been taken away by a private individual.
However, that's not what Shen Chen was thinking.
"It was taken by the official research institute for study, but the latest news is that the body tissue in that part is gradually losing its activity."
It will soon become useless.
That's such a pity.
