Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Qingyue checked the time and realized it was just a few minutes before nine o’clock. She was not in a hurry and decided to handle other tasks first.

At that moment, Yu Zhuang knocked on the door and entered, informing her that the board of directors had called for an urgent meeting. In truth, those old fogies could not sit still anymore. Or perhaps, someone could not wait any longer. Otherwise, with the financial strength of the Shen Corporation, what’s the fear of just six billion yuan?

She smiled indifferently and got up to head to the meeting room. By now, it was already filled with people, mostly aligned with Shen Yiyan’s faction. Shen Jun was absent, and it was evident that these people understood they could not influence Shen Jun, so they skipped him and came directly to talk to her.

She walked to the conference table in high heels, her voice cool and calm, “You all specially tricked me into coming. If it’s not something urgent, it can only mean you have too much free time. Maybe you should consider retiring?”

In front of others, Shen Yiyan was much more courteous to her, even when she wasn’t. He wore a fake smile, “Qingyue, we genuinely called for this meeting.

How can you say it’s a trick?”

Shen Qingyue glanced at him obliquely, not bothering to waste words with him. “You convene an urgent board meeting when the chairman isn’t present? If someone doesn’t know the context, they might think you’re trying to seize power. Anyway, what’s the matter? Speak up.”

Shen Yiyan replied, “Qingyue, let me be direct. You shouldn’t have forgotten that half a month ago, you spent six billion yuan to acquire Project Suburb One, right? You previously mentioned that the higher-ups would issue documents to prioritize development, but it’s been almost half a month, and there has been no progress at all. We’re all anxious.”

“News will be coming soon!” Shen Qingyue casually remarked.

Shen Yiyan sneered, “How long have we all been waiting? Qingyue, don’t tell me this is just an excuse to avoid the issue? Six billion in liquid capital is not a small sum, and you just wasted it on useless land. I have reason to suspect that you are deliberately obstructing the development of the group. We are all here to make money, with so many shareholders and investors. We hold a position of responsibility.”

His words were straightforward, questioning Shen Qingyue’s abilities! Since Shen Qingyue could not take responsibility, then let someone capable take charge. The future of Shen Group can only be entrusted to him!

Others at the scene echoed his sentiments.

“That’s right, President Shen. We understand that you made a mistake at work, and we don’t expect you to apologize. However, wasting six billion in liquid capital like this is detrimental to the development of the group.”

“The assessed value of Project Suburb One was at most five billion, but you purchased it for six billion. Isn’t that intentionally losing money? We know you feel uneasy after divorcing with Mr. Qin, but you can’t blindly seek revenge and use the entire group’s interests to do so.”

“This time it’s six billion, what about next time? How much more will be wasted?”

“I always said this young girl is incapable of handling such large projects. The Chairman indulges her too much…”

Everyone chimed in, devaluing Shen Qingyue.

However, Shen Qingyue seemed as if she could not hear them, calmly looking at the time on her phone.

After all the talking, she said, “Is everyone done? Then let me speak! Since you all don’t trust me and think I am hindering the development of Shen Group, how about this: while Shen Group is still valuable, anyone who wants to leave can sell their stocks to me. I will buy them! That way, even if I lose more money, it will be my own business. What do you say? After all, I won’t leave Shen Group. My grandfather created it, my father expanded it, and now it’s in my hands. Even if I end up bankrupting the entire group, my grandfather and father wouldn’t blame me.”

“You… with your attitude, you’re treating the group as a joke…” Several shareholders looked displeased. They were criticizing Shen Qingyue, and now she’s talking about buying their stocks? Shen Group’s significance in the current market is immense. Who would sell?

“In that case, why don’t you all create your own company and run it exactly as you wish, and then no one will be treated as a joke,” Shen Qingyue said with a cheerful smile. She genuinely could not understand why these people’s minds were so muddled. Just because Shen Yiyan is a man, they blindly stand by his side. If Shen Yiyan truly had the ability, how did Shen Group go bankrupt in the previous life? Don’t even mention her, in the last life, she had no involvement in the group’s decision-making.

Shen Yiyan furrowed his brows, having a bad premonition. He felt that Shen Qingyue was too confident. Just as he was about to speak, he heard his phone ring, followed by others’ phones ringing.

It was a mass text message.

Shen Qingyue said, “Alright, I don’t want to waste any more time with you. The time is up. Check the email I sent to the company group chat. Then decide whether to proceed with this deceitful meeting or not..”
