Chapter 122

The signing ceremony of the HZ project is imminent.

The ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Central Hotel.

Because this is the largest commercial project in the chemical industry in recent years, it has attracted much attention.

Not only the Fang family and the Shen family came to participate in this ceremony.

Well-known people in the industry and business tycoons who are interested in investing in the project were also invited to a banquet.

Early in the morning, a queue of cars formed outside the hotel.

The hotel staff were busy guiding the cars into the parking lot.

After most of the guests were seated.

Shen Hongyuan entered with his wife and children.

This is an extremely important occasion for the Shen family, and Shen Hongyuan is a face-saving person.

So he ordered all members of the Shen family to be present.

In addition to Lu Ran, even Shen Xingzhuo, who was absent on weekdays, was called over by him.

As soon as the few people got out of the car, the media waiting around rushed over.

The hotel staff maintained order.

Shen Hongyuan walked to the steps covered with red carpet, then stopped and stood with his arm around Mrs. Shen, giving the media a chance to take pictures.

Shen Hongyuan held Mrs. Shen in his right hand, and standing on his left were Shen Xingyu, Shen Xingzhuo and Shen Xingran.

Mrs. Shen was elegant and graceful, wearing a haute couture dress and limited edition jewelry of the season from a top luxury brand on her hair.

She smiled at the camera with her usual gentleness.

Shen Hongyuan looked firm and confident, with the tactfulness unique to a businessman.

He didn't look like he was angry at home at all.

Shen Xingyu, Shen Xingzhuo and Shen Xingran had different thoughts, but they all behaved appropriately.

This chaotic and chaotic family.

At least at this moment, the mood was probably the same.

The same joy.

They stayed on the steps for a long time.

The media took enough photos, and the Shen family also put on the appearance of a happy family.

Shen Hongyuan then led his family inside.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, acquaintances came over to greet them.

"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as charming as ever!"

"No, no, you are still not as good as Mr. Li."

"We have been friends for a long time, and you are still comparing us. But this time I have to tell you the truth. I will need you to bear more in the future..."

Mrs. Shen's people also agreed.

They praised their appearance and clothes, and then talked about their children the most.

"This is Xingyu, right? Long time no see. Xingyu is about 27 or 28 years old, right? Is he engaged?"

Shen Xingzhuo and Shen Xingran were also praised in various ways.

Especially Shen Xingran, he has a delicate appearance and seems to be well-behaved and obedient, which is the type that the elders like the most.

But this time, for some reason, Shen Xingran was a little absent-minded.

The Shen family has become the protagonist of this signing ceremony.

The media even came to interview and asked Mrs. Shen about her parenting experience.

Mrs. Shen smiled softly and intellectually.

She said: "Our family does not put too much pressure on the children. As a mother, I am more tolerant of them and let each of them develop according to their own strengths..."

When she said this, the ladies around her immediately showed envious eyes.

But after listening to her words, Shen Xingyu lowered his eyes.

Shen Xingzhuo looked up at the ceiling and seemed to roll his eyes.

Shen Xingran still smiled obediently and perfectly, like a mannequin.

But even Shen Xingzhuo knew the importance of the matter and did not do anything more extreme at this time.

The media that came over asked a lot more questions.

Suddenly, a media, whether it was intentional or not doing homework in advance,

suddenly interrupted with a sentence: "Excuse me, is the young master in your family who was lost and found not present?" As soon as

these words came out, whether it was Shen Hongyuan who was bragging about business with others, or Mrs. Shen who was talking in front of the reporter, and the three sons present. They

all paused at the same time.

This silence was very short, but it happened all at once.

Just like the bottomless cracks in this family that looks perfect on the surface.

Soon, another media outlet pushed down the one that just spoke.

The atmosphere on the scene became warm again.

But several people in the Shen family seemed a little absent-minded.

Shen Hongyuan sighed helplessly, acting like a kind father who was worried about his young people.

Mrs. Shen's tone was a little anxious. She did not answer the reporter's words just now, but took the initiative to talk about her experience as a mother in front of the media.

It seemed that she was afraid that someone would accuse her of incompetence.

Shen Xingyu became even more silent, and only spoke when others asked about Shen's business.

Shen Xingzhuo simply broke away from the circle of reporters and walked to the chair in the corner and sat down.

In this situation, Shen Xingran, who always behaved perfectly, looked at her mobile phone for the first time.

Soon, the person in charge of the project, Fang Jia, also showed up.

Unlike the Shen family, who brought their entire family with them, only Fang Lin, the person in charge of the Fang family, came with his eldest son.

Shen Hongyuan immediately came over to greet Fang Lin.

The two exchanged pleasantries. Fang Lin looked at the media around him and said,

"Shall the ceremony officially begin now?"

Shen Hongyuan had no objection and responded immediately.

The media and the like can be received later. The

important thing is to sign the contract first.

However, the signing ceremony this time was not just about signing the contract in public and officially entrusting the project to the Shen family.

The specific situation of the HZ project also needed to be explained to the public.

Fang Lin was very responsible. After he came on stage, he went straight to the point.

Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingyu sat in the audience waiting.

Shen Hongyuan enjoyed Fang Lin's explanation of the project. The more valuable the project was, the higher the Shen family would stand if they won the project.

In the later stages of the explanation, he added a lot of professional terms and it started to become boring.

Shen Xingyu had made a lot of preparations in the early stages to win this project, and the Shen family had been deeply involved in this field, so it was not difficult to listen.

But for someone like Shen Hongyuan, he could only let an assistant with a matching professional background explain things to him.

Not to mention the rest of the people listening to the meeting.

In addition to the invited professionals, the rest of the media and business people were inevitably distracted.

Even Shen Hongyuan was distracted for a moment.

He couldn't help but pick up his phone and check social media.

But he saw a striking news headline:

[Breaking! Lino Group overcomes technical difficulties, and nano-particle technology is upgraded again! The accuracy is far better than the data released by Shen's...]

At this time, Fang Lin on the stage was talking about the reason why he finally chose Shen's:

"Shen's innovation in nano-particle technology is a great boost to the advancement of this project..."

Shen Hongyuan's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, he no longer cared whether he was serious in the meeting, and couldn't help but look down at his phone again.

What's going on?

Isn't this technology the latest breakthrough of Shen's laboratory?

It is with this technology that they can suppress Lino.

Because they were in too much of a hurry, the patent application for this technology is still going through the process.

What should we do now...

But looking at this title, Shen Hongyuan couldn't help but panic.

But if you think about it carefully, it has come to this point, and the Shen family has already negotiated with Fang Lin in private.

Even if they know that the Lino family has also mastered this technology, as long as the gap is not too big, the Fang family will not give up the Shen family and choose the Lino family.

After thinking this through, Shen Hongyuan felt at ease again.

He put down his mobile phone, restored the smile on his face, and leaned back in his chair with relaxation.

However, he still told his assistant to suppress the news about the Lino family.

After a while.

Shen Xingyu's assistant came over hurriedly and whispered a few words to Shen Xingyu.

He handed the phone to Shen Xingyu again.

Shen Xingyu lowered his eyes and saw the content on the mobile phone screen, and his face suddenly sank.

His face looked extremely ugly.

Shen Hongyuan was amused after seeing this.

He shook his head and sighed, "You are still young after all. You panic over such a small matter?"

Then he gave a deep instruction, "Pay attention to the occasion and control your expression. Don't let the media take pictures of you. It will be embarrassing."

After Shen Hongyuan finished speaking, Shen Xingyu's face became even gloomier.

Shen Xingyu quickly told his assistant a few words.

He wanted to get up and leave for a while, but he still paid attention to the occasion and sat in his seat with a gloomy face.

He reached out to light up the screen of his mobile phone and pushed it in front of Shen Hongyuan.

Shen Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "I've seen it."

While he was speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the screen.

After this glance, he was stunned.

There were two news headlines next to each other on the screen.

One was the technological breakthrough of Lino Group that Shen Hongyuan had just seen.

But this news that just made Shen Hongyuan panic, now only ranked second.

The first place was another new news:

[The financial loophole of Shen Group was exposed! ]

[Is it safe to entrust the HZ project to Shen? ]

Seeing this news headline, Shen Hongyuan sat up straight.

Because he was too shocked, he almost stood up from the chair.

At the critical moment, it was Shen Xingyu who held his shoulders.

Shen Hongyuan's pupils shrank, and his expression was blank for a moment.

But at this time, he still held back with trembling lips.

Now, the media are standing in every corner.

So many eyes are staring at Shen at the scene. If they have any abnormalities, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

On the stage, Fang Lin was still explaining the project goals.

Shen Hongyuan became more anxious than ever.

He could only hope that Fang Lin and his assistant were not paying attention to the media news at the moment. He

also hoped that everyone present would be polite enough and not pay attention to other things.

After this signing ceremony is officially over and the contract is signed, even if there are any problems, they can discuss it with the Fang family!

Fang Lin put another form on the screen.

Shen Hongyuan, who was originally immersed in Fang Lin's explanation, now wanted to press the fast forward button.

Stop talking! Stop talking!

What's the importance of these! Sign the contract quickly!

Shen Hongyuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

His appearance attracted the attention of a CEO next to him.

The man couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Mr. Shen? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Hongyuan could only wipe the sweat off his forehead and reluctantly said, "It's a little hot in the venue."

With Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingyu praying, Fang Lin finally finished his explanation.

He smiled at the audience and extended his hand to invite them, "Now please ask Mr. Shen to come on stage and complete the final signing ceremony."

The audience immediately applauded.

At this time, Shen Xingyu and Shen Hongyuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he was too nervous, Shen Hongyuan even stumbled a few steps when he stood up.

The people beside him laughed and said, "Boss Shen is so happy."

Shen Hongyuan could only smile.

He and Shen Xingyu went on stage together.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Shen Hongyuan sat opposite Fang Lin. Lawyers stood behind each of them, and a contract was spread out in front of each of them.

Shen Hongyuan couldn't wait to get the official seal.

When he took it, his hand slipped, and then he held it tightly.

At this time, the applause from the audience stopped for a while.

But at the moment when the applause weakened, another wave of restlessness rose strangely.

First, there was someone's suppressed exclamation.

Then there was the gradual sound of whispers.

The scope of the whispers gradually expanded, and it became a room full of shock and doubt.

The noise from the audience was so loud that Fang Lin, who was sitting opposite, had to pay attention.

Fang Lin frowned and was about to pick up the microphone to ask questions.

His assistant came over from behind and leaned over to whisper a few words in his ear.

Fang Lin frowned first, and then his eyes slowly darkened.

He looked at Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingyu, who were sitting opposite him, with an extremely ugly expression.

"Mr. Fang, we..."

Shen Xingyu immediately stepped forward and spoke.

But Fang Lin suddenly stood up and stopped Shen Xingyu from speaking.

He held the microphone, faced the audience, and said in a cold voice: "Thank you all for coming, but there is a problem with the backstage data. I am afraid that today's contract signing cannot be completed. I am sorry that you have come here in vain."

After that, Fang Lin left the scene in a hurry without even looking at the two people from the Shen family.

No one expected this development.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Some people who did not understand the situation were still asking around with a confused look on their faces.

But some people who were interested understood it immediately.

The financial loopholes of the Shen family might be true.

Otherwise, with Fang Lin's upbringing, he would not leave so mercilessly after seeing the two new articles.

After being stunned, the rest of the people were still sitting.

But the media that were swarming everywhere immediately went crazy. The

Shen family members who were previously surrounded by enthusiastic interviews were immediately surrounded again.

Shen Xingyu was the most executive. He quickly gave instructions to the assistant public relations officer while chasing after Fang Lin.

Shen Hongyuan, who was still on the stage, and Mrs. Shen, who was stunned in her seat, were caught in the act.

Countless cameras were focused on Shen Hongyuan's face in an instant.

"Mr. Shen, have you read the news? Are you aware of the financial loopholes in your company?"

"Mr. Fang walked away right before signing the contract. Does that mean you didn't disclose the situation of your company to the public during the negotiation?" "Is

Shen's working so hard to get the HZ project just to fill the internal deficit? Doesn't this contradict your initial statement?"

"Is the technological breakthrough made by Lino Group related to your company?"

"I heard that Lino Group's technology is more precise than Shen's. What do you think about this?"

Just an hour ago, when they first entered the venue, the Shen family was still the protagonist.

The media gently explored their work, family and even personal ideals.

But in a flash, the situation took a turn for the worse, and sharp questions came crashing down on him.

Shen Hongyuan looked at the crowd below.

He saw the faces of the people who had just smiled and greeted him suddenly changed.

He was over fifty years old, and suddenly his father's cold and familiar scolding rang in his ears:

"Useless thing!"

Amid the noise, Shen Hongyuan's assistant suddenly shouted: "Chairman!"

Shen Hongyuan fainted.
