She appeared gentle on the surface, but beneath that docile exterior, she possessed a strong and fierce spirit, like a thorny rose or a poisonous lily.

Yet, despite it all, she still possessed a deadly allure.

Shen Qian didn’t dislike her this way, and there was even a sense of eager anticipation.

Shen Chunjiang changed his shoes and walked into the living room.

“Ah Qian, since you brought up this matter, I want to ask, what exactly is your plan? Suddenly declaring bankruptcy like this, didn’t the board of directors agree to wait for the acquisition?”

Shen Wan raised her eyes sharply, her piercing gaze fixed on Shen Qian.

But he didn’t look at her, he spoke gently, “Dad, please have a seat.”

Shen Chunjiang nodded, his expression eased.

Shen Qian seemed to just notice Shen Wan, and he spoke in a warm tone, “Wan Wan, please take a seat too.”

It sounded entirely without animosity, as if there had been no unpleasantness between the two, and no conflicts.

Shen Wan chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm, and walked past him, taking a seat on the other side of Shen Chunjiang.

This way, it became Shen Chunjiang in the middle, with Shen Qian on the left and Shen Wan on the right.

At first glance, it looked like a family portrait, but in reality, a silent tug-of-war was quietly beginning.

Shen Qian began by saying, “Mingya has been in financial trouble for years, weighing down the group, and we can’t continue to support it. Waiting for an acquisition has too much uncertainty, so it’s more prudent to take decisive action and declare bankruptcy.”

Shen Wan replied, “While that may be true, we can’t ignore the potential losses during the process just because you want it quick. We have to remember that bankruptcy and acquisition are two different concepts. It’s not just about money; it’s also about the group’s reputation. If we mishandle it, and outsiders who don’t understand the situation think there’s something wrong with Mingda, causing a subsidiary to go bankrupt, then… it’s not worth it.”

Shen Qian argued, “Outsiders have no say in our internal decisions.”

Shen Wan replied, “As a publicly listed company, the group has an obligation to disclose accurate information to the stock market.”

“It’s just a minor adjustment, and I believe discerning people can see that it’s for the better development of the group.”

“Professionals look at the details, while amateurs focus on the spectacle. Just as you said, can you guarantee that every shareholder is a ‘discerning person’?” “You’re making a mountain out of a molehill!”

“You’re not looking at the bigger picture!”

“That’s enough—”

Shen Chunjiang’s stern shout silenced the world.

“Look at the two of you, siblings, bickering and arguing, what does that make you?!”

Shen Qian’s gaze flickered slightly, but his smile remained unwavering, displaying complete confidence.

Shen Wan wasn’t as brazen as him. At the first sign of Shen Chunjiang’s anger, she lowered her head, appearing to be a willing learner. However, her eyes were as cold as ice.

Unfortunately, neither of the two men present noticed this.

“Wan Wan, it’s commendable that you’ve grown and learned from various perspectives, considering the pros and cons during your time at Mingya. Dad is proud of you,” Shen Chunjiang said, reaching out to pat her head in encouragement.

Shen Wan resisted the urge to swat his hand away and obediently stayed seated, not moving.

She had a hunch about what he was going to say next. Her lips curled with sarcasm, and as expected—

“But Ah Qian is your older brother. He has more experience in this area. So, stay humble, be patient, and listen to what he has to say. I believe you’ll benefit greatly from it.”

“Alright.”

Satisfied, Shen Chunjiang nodded and, after giving his daughter some guidance, turned to his son. “Ah Qian, I know you’re not impulsive.. Tell me, what is the real reason Mingya must declare bankruptcy?”
