Chapter 351 You're Too Dependent on Me
After reviewing the materials prepared by Attorney Ye, Shen Jiheng marked the parts that needed to be changed and handed them back to him.
"Add more things based on my modifications."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Attorney Ye was in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Attorney Ye, your performance is not professional. The client is talking to you, why aren't you reacting?"
Attorney Ye realized his rudeness and immediately took the documents.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted. If I may be so bold, I've known Mr. Shen for many years and I've never seen you so serious, especially when you're doing this."
After all, wills are something that are related to life and death to some extent, and his seriousness at such a young age always seems a bit strange.
Attorney Ye has always been in charge of the legal contracts for the Shen Group, so they only contact each other occasionally. I've never seen him mark them in such detail before, so I can't help but wonder if it's related to his health.
Shen Jiheng did not continue the conversation, but instead instructed him, "Make the revisions as soon as possible, I need it notarized."
They seem to be in such a hurry; something must be wrong.
"Okay, I'll take it back and make the changes. I'll email it to you after I'm done, and you can check it again."
"Thank you for your help!"
Shen Jiheng seemed to care a lot about this matter, so Attorney Ye had no choice but to make the corrections as soon as possible.
Attorney Ye arrived at the elevator with a belly full of questions. When the elevator doors opened, she saw Han Xi walking out angrily.
Han Xi was taken aback when she saw him, but then smiled and greeted him politely.
"Attorney Ye, what are you doing here?"
Han Xi had a good impression of Attorney Ye because of his help during their last meeting.
Seeing her angry expression, Attorney Ye figured it must be bad news and didn't want to linger.
"Mr. Shen needs me to do something, but you don't seem to be doing well."
"I'm fine. What did he ask you to do?"
Han Xi usually doesn't ask too many questions about other people's affairs, but given Shen Jiheng's recent changes, she couldn't help but be a little curious.
Attorney Ye's expression immediately turned serious, and he said with a forced smile, "Ms. Han was also a lawyer in the past, so she should know that our principle is to keep our clients' information confidential. So I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"Judging from your reaction, it's probably not a legal contract, but something else important?"
If it were truly a legal contract, he wouldn't have acted so nervous.
Attorney Ye pointed to the elevator that was about to close and said, "The elevator is about to close, I have work to do, so I'll go first."
Without waiting for Han Xi's response, she quickly walked into the elevator and closed the door.
As the elevator doors closed, Han Xi frowned. If he had responded frankly, no one would have thought much of it, but this overreaction seemed suspicious.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Han Xi came here to settle accounts with Shen Jiheng.
She arrived at the door of Shen Jiheng's office but was stopped by Yang Quan, who wouldn't let her in.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Shen has already handed these over to the project team. You can just contact them directly."
Han Xi said angrily, "I must see him today, so get out of my way."
Han Xi used to be warmly invited into the office whenever she came to the company, but now she is being kept outside.
The argument between the two attracted the attention of others, who couldn't help but wonder if she and Shen Jiheng had fallen out.
"President Han, please don't make things difficult for me. President Shen has already instructed that if you don't leave, I will have security personnel take you away."
"Did he give these orders?"
Now everyone's avoiding her, but Han Xi insists on seeing him to see how hard his heart can be.
"Yes, so please leave."
Han Xi nodded. Since he wouldn't allow it, he would have to use his own method.
She took a step back and beckoned to Leng Yu: "Go and drag him aside."
Leng Yu nodded, stepped forward, and threw Yang Quan to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. By the time Yang Quan got up, Han Xi had already opened the office door.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, Han Xi gave Leng Yu a wink, and she nodded in understanding.
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, leave this to me."
Han Xi walked in and saw Shen Jiheng sitting leisurely in his office chair, processing documents. He didn't even look up when he heard footsteps.
He must have heard the commotion at the door, but he deliberately ignored it.
Didn't my assistant make things clear?
Shen Jiheng spoke casually, clearly knowing who the person was.
The only one who would dare to come to his territory uninvited is Han Xi.
Han Xi threw the contract in front of him and asked angrily, "What do you mean by this? You canceled the entire packaging material contract that was just signed with Ximei last month."
Shen Jiheng put down his pen, folded his hands, and lifted the curtain to look at her.
"If you had calculated the costs involved, you would know that we have no profit at all. To put it bluntly, we have been providing all the packaging materials to Han Shu Group for free all these years."
“Then you can raise the price; it’s not like Han Shu Group can’t afford it.”
Shen Jiheng sneered: "Since you don't lack money, you naturally don't lack suppliers either. You can go find other factories to cooperate with."
Han Xi really couldn't understand him. He had gone to so much trouble to establish a cooperative relationship with Han Shu Group, but now he was going to destroy all of those relationships.
Han Xi took a deep breath to stay calm, believing that Shen Jiheng must have his reasons.
"Ji Heng, I don't care what happened to you, but don't make our relationship so strained."
Shen Jiheng crossed his arms and looked at her, raising his chin as he listened to her.
Han Xi sighed and continued, "Our new perfume has already been produced, and we're just waiting for your packaging materials. If we switch to another company, we'll have to do all the testing and adjustments again, and it might not achieve the effect I want."
Shen Jiheng pointed out incisively: "It's more accurate to say that you rely on me too much."
These words stunned Han Xi. But wasn't he the one who caused all of this?
He had been weaving a huge net around her, leaving her no way to escape. He also said he would protect her and help her have a smooth journey.
Now that he's saying this, Han Xi questions him: "So you regret it and want to part ways with me?"
Shen Jiheng crossed his legs and calmly said, "I just feel a bit bored. It seems like I've done a lot of useless things in the past. You should know that since you came back, the Shen Group's profits have been declining."
Han Xi frowned: "Are you blaming me?"
It is true that the drop in Shen's Enterprises' shares was due to everything Han Xi did, but he has never blamed her, so why does it seem like he wants to bring up old grievances with her now?
Shen Jiheng stood up, adjusted his suit jacket neatly, and walked towards her.
“I just think that if you want the company to take the next step, you have to cut off all those money-losing businesses. You still have the Gu family supporting you, so you don’t need to keep bothering me.”
"I really didn't expect you to say something like that."
Shen Jiheng raised his hand and pinched her chin, revealing a wicked smile.
"We're all businessmen. We should have woken up a long time ago about what we should and shouldn't do. I only do business that makes money. Of course, if you still want to continue cooperating with the Shen family, you'll have to show more sincerity."
As he spoke, he tugged at Han Xi's collar with his long, slender fingers and raised an eyebrow as if hinting at something.
If it were anyone else, Han Xi would have slapped them across the face, but the person in front of her was Shen Jiheng.
