Shen Jiazhou returned to school, and he still can't quite believe it; he has truly returned to his teenage years.
As soon as he returned to school, he was caught by Gu Xingyuan.
He looked at Gu Xingyuan: "What?"
Gu Xingyuan exclaimed, "You still have the nerve to ask me what happened! You ran away, so I had to bite the bullet and go for it!"
Shen Jiazhou then remembered there was still a competition. He patted Gu Xingyuan on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Gu Xingyuan watched him walk towards the dormitory, frowning as he said, "No, what's wrong with you today? You seem really strange."
"Nothing much." Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment, then turned and asked, "Who do I contact to apply for off-campus accommodation again?"
"..." Gu Xingyuan was speechless: "Counselor."
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Go to the dorm and help me pack up those things. I'll come over after I apply."
Gu Xingyuan pointed to himself: "Shen Er, you've crossed a line."
But she still asked, "Why do you suddenly want to stay out all night again?"
He was unwilling to let Shen Jiazhou live with him before, but how come he changed his mind after going out today?
Shen Jiazhou didn't hide anything. No matter what, Gu Xingyuan was a brother he could completely trust: "I'm planning to start a company off-campus, it'll be more convenient. Do you want to invest some money?"
A few million is not too little, and tens of millions is not too much.
Shen Jiazhou is full of energy now!

Shen Jiachen was quite quick. Not long after he returned to the United States, he sent an email to Shen Jiazhou, which contained the plan for handling the equity and the final valuation.
This valuation was 10% lower than the price Shen Jiazhou had in mind. However, the current value of the Shen family was far less than its value after he took over. Thinking about it this way, Shen Jiazhou felt at peace.
Neither of them holds a position at Shen's now, so there's no handover process. Once the sale is completed, they'll be completely unrelated.
And they also chose a very, very suitable candidate, their second uncle.
Now, with Old Master Shen in charge of the Shen family business, Second Uncle Shen is now the vice president, handling most of the affairs. But how can a vice president be as good as a head?
The president's position has been vacant for a long time, and the Shen family members are all eyeing it covetously. Whoever takes the position will inevitably be marginalized in the company.
Shen Jiazhou had long seen through this group of people, and after discussing it with Shen Jiachen, he began to work on selling off his shares.
I originally thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect Uncle Shen to be so helpful. We signed the contract almost without any negotiation.
It's clear they're really in a hurry. Of course, once the contract is signed, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer. Shen Fang couldn't find Shen Jiachen and even went to University A, but of course, he came up empty-handed.
They couldn't find him at all. In the end, it was Old Master Shen who stepped in and called Shen Jiazhou, asking him to come back to the old house after his vacation.
When Shen Jiazhou arrived home, the rest of the Shen family were there, especially Shen Fang's family, who stared at him with eyes that looked like they wanted to tear him apart alive!
Shen Jiazhou ignored him and walked up to Old Master Shen, saying in a low voice, "Grandpa."
He looked at Old Master Shen. Not long after he took over the Shen family, Old Master Shen passed away. The Shen family also went through a period of "chaos," but he dealt with it all in various ways. After that, no one in the Shen family dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
Grandpa Shen looked at him and sighed, "Everyone's here, let's eat first."
"No need, Grandpa," Shen Jiazhou said. "I'm here to handle some business, not to eat."
He said, "Let's go to the study, Grandpa."
Among the younger generation, Old Master Shen had no way to deal with the two Shen brothers, Shen Jiazhou and Shen Jiazhou. In the end, he sighed, leaned on his cane, and went upstairs with Shen Jiazhou.
The butler brought them tea. Shen Jiazhou took a sip and said, "Did Shen Jiachen send this tea?"
There were also a few cans in Shen Jiazhou's studio. Shen Jiachen had someone deliver them, saying that he and Gu Xingyuan shouldn't drink coffee all the time just because they're young, and that they should drink some tea to nourish their bodies.
When talking about his eldest grandson, Grandpa Shen's face lit up with a smile: "Yes, I told him not to send any over. I have plenty of tea."
Shen Jiazhou didn't say anything, but took another sip and finally put the teacup down.
Old Master Shen's smile faded slightly. He sighed softly and asked, "Jia Zhou, do you and Xiao Chen really have to go this far? You're just being ridiculous!"
"Grandpa, the matter has been settled." Shen Jiazhou said slowly, "There's no point in saying anything more."
The contract has now been signed, and Shen Jiazhou and Shen Jiachen have no further connection with the Shen family's business.
Old Master Shen said, "You two brothers are the ones I have the highest hopes for. Even after I pass away, the Shen family will continue to prosper under your leadership. The Shen family will not decline. You two have really disappointed me!"
He sighed, his face full of heartache.
Shen Jiazhou looked at Old Master Shen. Old Master Shen was a very complicated person. He loved his descendants very much, but he loved to smooth things over even more, wanting everyone in the Shen family to receive relatively balanced resources.
But relative balance means he has to sacrifice his own interests.
"The Shen family will prosper under Second Uncle's leadership." Shen Jiazhou looked at him: "Grandpa, don't you trust Second Uncle?"
Of the old man's children, only Uncle Shen the Second has any brains, but he is ruthless and doesn't like to leave any room for maneuver. He can be a leader in a low-ranking position, but he is not suitable to be a leader.
Grandpa Shen remained silent, but Shen Jiazhou said, "Grandpa, instead of talking to me about things that can't be undone, why don't you take some time to chat with Second Uncle about your work experience?"
Old Master Shen said, "Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Shen Jiazhou said slowly, "Is it because Shen Jiachen and I are unwilling to accept the Shen family that you want to be angry to death? Grandpa, you have many descendants. If you have the will, you can even turn mud into a wall. But you have never had the idea of cultivating other descendants over the years. In the end, you found that only Shen Jiachen and I are soft-hearted and capable. Even if we take over the Shen family, the lives of other people will not change much."
"They always say you favor us two brothers, but aren't you also raising two cash cows for them?" Shen Jiazhou felt a little unhappy when he thought of the things from his previous life: "You've always been trying to smooth things over, always saying that harmony in the family brings prosperity, but what have you done? You knew about Shen Fang's affair from the beginning, but you did nothing and let things develop. The same goes for other family members. When you were needed to take charge, what did you do? You just stood by and watched, and after the argument, you said 'harmony in the family brings prosperity,' giving everyone equal blame regardless of who was right or wrong."
Old Master Shen stared at Shen Jiazhou in shock: "You...you..."
Shen Jiazhou said, "Since we've come this far, let's just be frank, Grandpa. You don't love me and Shen Jiachen at all; you just think the two of us are easier to control."
Shen Jiazhou was actually very puzzled for a while, but he understood later.
Old Master Shen's kindness comes with a price tag.
