Shi Group.

The atmosphere around the conference table was solemn.

During this period, Shi Xuan's condition can only be described as "embarrassing".

All the projects he handled and was responsible for suddenly encountered various problems, big and small. Without exception, all the parts that had been settled encountered various obstacles along the way.

He was caught off guard and had no time to react.

At daily meetings, shareholders’ accountability is like an alarm clock, ringing at a fixed time and place.

It's weird.

Among so many projects, only the "Lucky Cabinet Resort" project was safe. After the first episode of that derivative variety show ended, the number of tourists and performance of the resort increased simultaneously.

And precisely because of this, this project has become a life-saving talisman, so the shareholders did not speak harshly to the extreme, but left a trace of mercy and room.

Finally, everyone in the conference room left.

Shi Xuan was still sitting at the main seat at the conference table without getting up.

His deep brows were filled with fatigue. He raised his hand and flexed his fingers, impatiently untied the tie around his neck, raised his head and exhaled heavily.

The relaxation state has not lasted for more than a minute.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, with a trembling expression on his face: "...Mr. Shi, the chairman wants you to go back to the main house."

After a while, he heard a response.

"knew"

Without delay, half an hour later Shi Xuan stepped into the luxurious living room of the main house. It was the butler beside Old Master Shi who came out to greet him personally. However, it was more like taking him over to question him rather than welcoming him.

As expected.

When Shi Xuan took the first step into the study, a teacup came towards him and hit the dark wooden floor in front of him.

"The shareholders are in turmoil, and I won't ask. When are you going to tell me?"

Shi Xuan paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "There's no need to alarm you, old man. I've almost dealt with all of this."

After hearing this, the worry on Grandpa Shi's face did not decrease at all. Instead, the air pressure around him dropped even more. His cloudy eyes stared at Shi Xuan with a sense of oppression.

A long time passed.

He suddenly spoke in an almost commanding tone, "Xiaoxuan, from today on, I will leave the management of Shi's to you."

Shi Xuan looked up in some surprise.

Mr. Shi said word by word: "Condition - from today on, you can no longer have any contact with or even think about romantic relationships without my personal permission."

If Shi Xuan was still in a state of confusion during the first half of Mr. Shi's sentence, then his face changed immediately after hearing the second half.

Shi Xuan almost instantly understood the hidden meaning behind Mr. Shi's words.

He swallowed dryly, "Grandpa...what do you mean?"

As if he knew everything, Mr. Shi only said, "Sheng Yuan, she is already engaged to Xiao Yan."

The moment the words fell, Shi Xuan instantly exploded, his emotions agitated, as if he couldn't accept it: "But their engagement was a mistake!"

"The reason why she chose Shi Yan was because of me! She liked me first! If I had recognized her earlier, they would never have gotten engaged—"

"shut up!"

Mr. Shi was so angry that he stood up from his chair, incredulous and furious: "Shi Xuan, do you know what you are talking about?!"
