194: The Shen family

The Shen family

Shen Yong wanted to push Qiao Qing away but he remembered what situation he was in.2

Actually Shen Yong had a cousin named Shen Xing. The Shens were a slightly wealthy family while Shen Yong was a third generation heir whereas Shen Xing was a third generation heiress.

Shen Xing's father was Old Master Shen's eldest son. He had a keen sense of business and had long been designated as the successor of the Shen Group. Old Master Shen had started the Shen group from the scratch. Although it was not a big company but still it had a considerable market influence.

If it weren't for the plane crash, Shen Xing's father would have taken over the Shen Group long ago. The old man wouldn't have to worry about the corporation at his age. Normally, after the eldest son died, the second son would take over. However, Shen Yong's father, Shen Zhenbai only knew how to play with women. The old man would never hand the Shen Group over to someone like Shen Zhenbai!

The only remaining people were Shen Xing and Shen Yong. Despite being a girl, Shen Xing was given a chance to compete for the successor position with Shen Yong. Old Master Shen was quite of a liberal mindset and thought that as long as the Shen group does not perish, it didn't matter if it was succeeded by his grandson or granddaughter.

An year ago, a competition was held between both the potential successors. Shen Xing being honest and hardworking won the competition from Shen Yong who was addicted to take shortcuts. He didn't want to work hard but he wanted the position of the successor.

Unfortunately, after the competition, Shen Xing was appointed as the vice president by her grandfather while Shen Yong was to be only a department manager.

Shen Yong grew furious of this situation and had fights with Shen Xing regularly.

The same thing happened that day.

FLASHBACK!

"Damn it!" Shen Yong suddenly swept the documents on his desk onto the ground and said angrily, "Shen Xing, what do you mean? Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me?"

"Shen Yong, be nice!" Shen Xing's expression was cold. Her almond-shaped eyes were also flashing with anger. "Am I deliberately finding trouble, or are you not competent enough? Look at the proposal you submitted. Even the most basic writing format is wrong. Who are you fooling?"

"So what if the format is wrong? Don't tell me that you can't understand it if the format is wrong?" Shen Yong tugged at his tie in frustration. "We are a family. Is it interesting for you to grasp these details? Grandpa asked you to be the vice president, but you really think of yourself as a big shot?"

"Shen Yong! Manager Shen! You better get it straight. I'm your boss now, not your cousin!" Shen Xing said sternly. "In the company, you have to follow the company's rules. If you can do it, then do it. If you can't do it, then change people! Even if it comes to Grandpa, I'll still have the same attitude!" She hated people like Shen Yong the most. He didn't differentiate between public and private affairs. He always used his identity to pressure others. He always looked down on others, as if he was giving her face by giving her a report.

"Alright, Shen Xing, don't be too proud!" Shen Yong sneered. "You like to find trouble, right? Alright, I'll do it again. Since you don't show mercy, don't blame me for being merciless in the future!" After saying that, he grabbed the proposal on the table and left. As he left, he slammed the door hard!

The door slammed, but the people outside were already used to it. As long as Shen Yong came looking for Shen Xing, it would happen again. They were already used to it.

Shen Yong returned to his office with a gloomy expression. His office was half the size of Shen Xing's office. He looked even angrier and smashed the office.

"Hey, what's going on?" A middle-aged man in a flowery shirt, Shen Zhenbai, sauntered in. He stroked his beard and looked at the mess in the room. He frowned and asked, "Who made you unhappy again? The old man already said that the people below say that you always smash the office. What's going on?"

"I can smash it if I want to. The old man even cares about such a small matter?" Shen Yong's eyes were bloodshot as he said angrily, "Such a small office is like a storage room. I'm also Grandpa's biological grandson. I don't even have the right to smash the office?"

"Enough, why are you angry?" Shen Zhenbai frowned even more. "It's not like you don't know the old man's personality. He's very old-fashioned. If you do it well on the surface, he'll be happy."

"No matter how well I do it, can he see it? His heart is filled with Shen Xing now!" Shen Yong laughed sarcastically. "How ridiculous. Grandpa actually let a woman like Shen Xing inherit the Shen Group. Does he not have any grandchildren? I think he's muddle-headed. Shen Xing is going to get married in the future. Does he want the Shen Group to change its surname?"

"Alright, keep your voice down. The entire corporation is under the old man's command. Aren't you afraid of being heard?" Shen Zhenbai looked around. He lowered his voice and said to Shen Yong, "What are you panicking for? Has the Shen Group fallen into Shen Xin's hands yet? The matter hasn't been completely settled yet. Why are you even more impatient than me?"

"Of course you can be patient. All you do is spend all your time drinking and hitting on women. What's there for you to be impatient about?" As he said this, Shen Yong was filled with resentment. "It's all your fault. If you were as good as my dead uncle, the Shen Group would have long been mine!"

"It's not like you don't know that I don't like to manage the company." Shen Zhenbai didn't feel embarrassed by Shen Yong's disdain. He said righteously, "It's much more interesting to play with women than to manage the company!"

Seeing that Shen Zhenbai was so unmotivated, Shen Yong was speechless. He hated himself for not being his uncle's son!

"Alright, don't blame me in your heart. You're my son. It's not like I don't want the Shen Group to fall into your hands." Shen Zhenbai spread his hands. He wasn't a fool. Only in Shen Yong's hands could he continue to live a carefree and luxurious life. Only then could money continue to flow into his hands.

"Alright, your father isn't that useless. I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?" Shen Zhenbai asked mysteriously.

"Grandfather has already made up his mind. What method do you have to change his mind?" Shen Yong frowned. Although he didn't believe Shen Zhenbai's words, his body couldn't help but lean forward a little.

Old Master Shen had exceptional skills and was leaning towards Shen Xing as the successor of the Shen Group and started to delegate power to Shen Xing. Shen Yong's side didn't have a good time in the company. It was no wonder that he had been throwing tantrums these few days. Shen Yong was used to being arrogant, so how could he be willing to submit to others?

"In terms of business matters, I may not be as good as you, but in terms of understanding of the Old Master Shen, I know him very well." As a good-for-nothing, Shen Zhenbai knew how to figure out the Old Master Shen's intentions the most. After all. His hobbies all required money. If he didn't want to work and still wanted a lot of money, he had to learn how to please the Old Master Shen.

His words made some sense. Shen Yong's eyes lit up. "Dad, don't beat around the bush. If you have any ideas, tell me quickly." He had had enough of the days when he worked under Shen Xing. She had to be calculative over every little thing. She didn't go easy on him at all. Ever since he entered the Shen Group, when had he ever been scolded like this for every little thing? Sooner or later, he would trample Shen Xing under his feet, so that she would no longer be able to hold her head high!

"Let me tell you, the Shen Group is Old Master Shen's brainchild. What he values the most is the development of the Shen Group," Shen Zhenbai said proudly. "But why hasn't Old Master Shen handed the corporation over to Shen Xing even though you clearly lost the bet with Shen Xing? Doesn't he just want to test you guys again and choose the best one?" A momentary win or loss was nothing. The long-term development of a corporation required careful consideration and foresight. Old Master Shen wouldn't decide the successor so easily.
