Upon hearing her second brother mention that he had made a sea salt cheesecake, Lin Wanxing immediately recalled her nightmare.
"Would you like some?" Shen Huai'an picked up an apple and skillfully peeled it, a smile playing on his lips. "It's delicious, I think you'll like it."
"Then let me try it." Lin Wanxing said without any hesitation.
The sea salt cheese lava cake was really good. Lin Wanxing took a small fork and ate it bite after bite, his mouth full of cheese sauce.
Upon seeing this scene, some unpleasant images suddenly popped into Shen Huai'an's mind.
He put down the apple he was holding, leaned over, and took out a handkerchief. "You've eaten so messily, let your second brother wipe it for you."
Lin Wanxing smiled foolishly, "It's delicious, Second Brother, you should have some too."
"Xingxing, you can eat it." Shen Huai'an wiped his mouth and continued peeling the apple.
The two people sat together, one eating an apple and the other eating cake.
Not long after, news of Chen Xueping's injury and hospitalization spread, and many people knew about it. People inside and outside the entertainment industry were laughing, saying that Chen Xueping was getting her comeuppance.
It's said she was attacked in her home, but how did the intruder get into her house? The villa area is a very nice place now. Chen Xueping was beaten up like that, and she actually said she didn't see what the attacker looked like. That's too strange.
Some suspect that this was a staged event orchestrated by Chen Xueping herself, an attempt to exploit public sympathy to cover up her past misdeeds.
Shen Zhiting had naturally heard about Chen Xueping's hospitalization. These wealthy socialites all had various information exchange groups, and she felt much happier to learn of Chen Xueping's miserable condition.
But upon closer reflection, she felt that something was amiss.
However, she didn't think much of it and just considered it as Chen Xueping getting her comeuppance.
Shen Taimin has been in a bad mood lately, often throwing things around the house and verbally abusing the servants. The old lady has noticed all of this, and Shen Zhiting has told Lin Wanxing about it.
The project has run into trouble, and now everyone is eyeing Shim Tae-min with hostility. The project can't continue, so how could he not be furious?
The group is currently losing money, and some people are already dissatisfied.
Shen Huai'an led Xingxing to the group. The Shen Group was very large. As soon as Shen Huai'an entered, he could take a private elevator directly to the conference room on the top floor.
Lin Wanxing obediently followed beside him, and asked softly, "Second Brother, do we really have to do this?"
Shen Huai'an nodded and said without hesitation, "I want to help the group."
Shen Taimin has recently angered many people. The elders and shareholders don't care about the internal family struggles; all they care about is profit.
If Shim Tae-min can't generate profits for the group, he should get out.
We are all business people who come together for mutual benefit. Whoever is in charge of the Shen Group should create benefits for everyone, instead of just holding an empty title and letting everyone's money go down the drain.
The meeting room was already full of people, and everyone started talking excitedly.
"Shen Taimin is really no good. Why did the old lady push him up? Now the group is losing money. There was such a good project in the new district that could have made money, but he ended up losing money."
Another person chimed in, "Don't even mention losing money. Investors are withdrawing their funds one after another, and the Chen Group's stock has plummeted. This has also affected the new projects. I don't know what Shen Taimin was thinking, choosing to cooperate with Chen Shuhua. Chen Shuhua has been living off the Lin family's wealth all these years."
"Now look what's happened. The Fang family is suppressing the Chen family at every turn, and they're even withdrawing from the new urban area project. What was supposed to be a lucrative job has turned into this mess."
Everyone was already quite dissatisfied with Shim Tae-min, and they were almost about to start cursing him.
At this moment, Shen Er slowly appeared, leaning on his cane. His appearance instantly silenced the conference room.
"Mr. Shen, you've finally arrived."
Shen Er smiled and nodded, then slowly sat down in the middle of the conference room.
"Since you left, Mr. Shen, the whole group has been in chaos. Construction on the new urban area has been delayed for a long time. I heard that a wealthy man bought the nearby land, and Shen Taimin's negotiations for cooperation have been stalled."
"If this continues, we'll not only fail to make money, but we'll soon lose everything."
Xingxing didn't understand these things. He knew that Xingxing was timid and didn't like meeting strangers, so Shen Huai'an asked his secretary to take him to his office and let him play there for a while.
Shen Huai'an looked at the complaining shareholders and couldn't help but smile. "As you all know, I'm not in good health and need to rest. I can't manage many things in the group, and the new urban area project has been handed over to my older brother."
One of them immediately spoke up: "If you don't care, what about the projects in the new urban area? We can't just let everyone watch us lose money."
Shen Huai'an knew what these people were thinking. The main reason was that Shen Taimin hadn't done any proper investigation before rushing to take over the new urban area project, which led to his major setback.
"I'm here to bring you some good news."
Shen Taimin suddenly pushed open the conference room door. He looked at Shen Huai'an with a very unpleasant expression and said in an icy tone, "What good news?"
Shen Huai'an sat in his seat. Shen Taimin felt uncomfortable seeing him sitting in his seat. He said, "Second brother, you've already left the group, why don't you go home and take good care of your health?"
Shen Huai'an looked up and saw that he had no intention of getting up. He said apologetically, "Brother, I'm sorry. I took your seat without permission. But as you know, my legs aren't very good, so I'll just sit here for now. You won't blame me, will you?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Taimin could not make a scene. He glared at Shen Huai'an and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sit down. I know your legs aren't good, and as the eldest brother, I won't blame you. Don't worry about things at the company anymore. Just stay home and take care of yourself."
Before Shen Taimin could finish speaking, someone retorted, "Don't do that! If President Shen is just focusing on recuperating, what will happen to us? What will happen to the group?"
"Mr. Shen is quite comfortable sitting in this position."
Shen Er's contributions to the group are evident to all, and no one wants him to leave the group.
Many shareholders in the meeting room echoed his sentiments, and Shen Taimin was about to be driven mad with anger just looking at Shen Huai'an's face.
"Brother, you see, sometimes it's not that I don't want to take care of my health, it's just that everyone won't let me."
Shen Huai'an leisurely waved to his secretary, and the shareholders immediately received a new cooperation proposal.
"What you see now are the investors I found, and the Fang family will also reinvest in the new urban area project. I have also negotiated the land for them to build a commercial center."
Everyone looked down at what they were holding and immediately exclaimed in admiration, "President Shen, you really are someone to be looked at with new eyes!"
