The next day at noon, Shen called Lu's father and clearly expressed Lu Yuning's intention to take over the Lu family business.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu on the other end of the phone immediately flew into a rage and objected: "How can this be allowed!"
This daughter has a vengeful nature; if she becomes the head of the Lu family, my future days will probably be difficult.
Moreover, he has a son; how could he give the company to his daughter who is about to marry out of the country?
Upon hearing that Lu's father was facing imminent disaster and was still thinking about the idea of his son inheriting the family business, Shen Shi's tone immediately turned cold: "Why not? Isn't Ningning also a member of the Lu family? What's wrong with her taking charge of Lu's Group?"
Upon hearing Chen Shi's tone, Lu's father knew that he was determined to help Lu Yuning take the position.
Unfortunately, he was completely helpless at this moment. If he wanted the Lu family to remain in their hands, he could only rely on Shen Shi.
"Alright..." Helpless, Mr. Lu stopped struggling.
Hearing that Mr. Lu had relented, Shen Shi softened his tone accordingly, saying, "Uncle, rest assured, I guarantee that your shares and dividends in Lu's will remain unchanged."
Knowing full well that one should give a sweet treat after a beating, Chen Shi assured Lu's father, and of course, that was indeed what he thought.
As long as Lu's father behaves himself and doesn't cause trouble, Lu Yuning, being his daughter, doesn't want to go too far, and this little thing is nothing.
Lu's father also believed Chen Shi's assurances.
Unfortunately, he lacked the ability to turn the tide, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only do as Chen Shi wished.
"Alas, I'm getting old!" Mr. Lu's voice was filled with sorrow as he hung up the phone.
After making up her mind to become the person in charge, Lu Yuning gradually became busier.
She began to study business knowledge. Because she started much later than others and had a competitive nature, Lu Yuning studied very hard and often forgot to eat.
The Lai'ershan land project is also being developed in an orderly manner under the supervision of the young couple, Jiang Beiwan and Shen Yuanyang.
Everything was progressing steadily and positively. Just when Shen Shi felt he could relax a bit, Chen Chen suddenly arrived.
This time it wasn't a chance encounter; Chen Chen came directly to the Shen's Building.
"Mr. Shen, a man named Chen Chen has come downstairs and wants to see you." Shen Shi had just finished a meeting when his secretary reported this news.
Chen Chen wants to see him?
The two have always disliked each other, so why would Chen Chen take the initiative to come to him?
During this time, Shen Shi never forgot to investigate Li Xingtian's true motive for killing Wang Yicai.
He is now certain that Qi Xingxin is involved in this matter.
Although they had made some progress, they still couldn't send that bastard Qi Xingxin to prison without the most crucial evidence.
Qi Xingxin, that old fox, was no pushover either. After discovering that Shen Shi was secretly investigating the matter, he tried to trip him up quite a bit, but Shen Shi managed to defuse them all.
However, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Qi Xingxin often walks by the river, and his wet shoes will eventually be discovered.
The two are currently engaged in a tense power struggle. Chen Chen is Qi Xingxin's illegitimate son and Shen Shi's half-brother.
His appearance at the Shen family's residence at this moment is quite interesting.
Are he in cahoots with Qi Xingxin? Is he here to probe for information?
Wanting to know what Chen Chen was really up to, Chen Shi instructed his secretary, "Bring him up."
Five minutes later, the secretary led Chen Chen into Chen Shi's office.
Chen Shi looked Chen Chen up and down. Compared to their last meeting, Chen Chen was much more restrained. The aura of looking down on everyone that Chen Chen had once possessed was gone.
Facing his old rival, who was now in decline, Shen Shi jokingly asked with interest, "President Chen, what brings you here?"
Then his words were like air; Chen Chen didn't respond or make any move.
When ignored, Shen Shi thought, "..." "You're already here, why put on airs?"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.
It's strange to just stand there like this. Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Shi said helplessly, "Since we're here, let's not just stand here. Let's sit down and talk."
This time, Chen Chen followed Shen Shi and sat on the sofa in the reception area.
On the coffee table sat a latte that his assistant had just brought. Chen Shi handed Chen Chen a cup and said, "These are new beans from Jamaica. How about you try them?"
Chen Chen took the drink, took a sip, and commented, "It's really good."
For a short while, neither of them spoke, simply enjoying their coffee in silence.
"Why don't you ask me what I'm doing here?" Chen Chen asked, puzzled, looking at the leisurely Chen Shi.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shi chuckled and said, "I know!"
"You know?" Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat in surprise.
Chen Shi crossed his legs and nodded dismissively, only to be met with Chen Chen's shocked expression.
He slowly began to speak: "You've come to tell me about Qi Xingxin's criminal evidence, am I right?"
Chen Shi wanted to give Chen Chen a chance, so she observed his expression as she spoke.
Then he saw that Chen Chen's face revealed an extremely complicated expression, with two opposing emotions, conflict and relief, constantly alternating on his face.
Sensing the unusual silence, she waited quietly for him to speak.
Finally, Chen Chen stopped his hesitation and said, "I don't know what President Shen is talking about."
Although they said that, they both knew in their hearts that it was a lie.
Shen Shi felt a pang of regret after hearing this. His older brother was too muddle-headed. Qi Xingxin, that bastard, would soon fall from grace.
If Chen Chen were willing to lend a hand, Shen Shi might spare his life out of consideration for their blood relation.
Unfortunately, the other party had no such intention. Since he wasn't there to surrender, Shen Shi didn't bother to waste any more words with him.
"Then there's nothing more to discuss. I have official business to attend to, Mr. Chen, please return!" Shen Shi said calmly to Chen Chen.
These words of dismissal were made without any attempt to conceal their intentions, but Chen Chen remained calm upon hearing them, showing no surprise whatsoever.
However, instead of leaving immediately as Chen Shi had suggested, he took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to him.
"The Jiang residence is hosting a party this weekend, and we hope Mr. Shen can grace us with his presence." Chen Chen glanced at Shen Shi, who showed no intention of reaching out, and placed the invitation on the table.
Upon hearing the words "Jiang residence," Shen Shi sneered. It seemed the illegitimate child was about to be revealed to the public.
So he congratulated him sarcastically, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen, you can finally be recognized as one of the family."
Chen Chen naturally understood his sarcasm, but he wasn't too angry. He said to Chen Shi, "See you on the weekend," and got up to leave.
After Chen Chen left, Shen Shi picked up the invitation. The contents were very simple, except that the inviter was Qi Xingxin.
It seems that Chen Chen made this trip to act as a messenger for his father.
Shen Shi didn't know what Qi Xingxin was planning, but he was certain that this gathering was a trap.
Qi Xingxin was not clean in his dealings, and when Shen Shi investigated him, he did not hide it from others.
