Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Sheng Bowen put down his chopsticks and looked at Sheng Kai coldly. “Why didn’t I tell you earlier? I told you countless times that there are a lot of problems with that company, and did you listen to me even once? Not only did you not listen, you even increased the investment. We have argued so many times in the office and at home because of this. But you are blaming me for not to tell you earlier now? You’re crazy.”

“Is it because of Sheng Xiao again?”

“What does it have to do with Eighth Brother when it’s you who made the wrong judgment? How capable is Eighth Brother that he could make a company far away in Europe go bankrupt? You always blame Eighth Brother when things go wrong. Don’t you think you see yourself too highly in this sense? Eighth Brother has never seen you as his opponent, because you are not qualified to be one.” Sheng Bowen sat down and continued eating.

“Third Brother, Second Brother is just anxious. You don’t have to side with the outsiders and fight with Second Brother, right?” Gu Ziling quickly made her stance clear, that she sided with Sheng Kai.

“If the two of you have the time to argue with me, it would be better for you to do some practical things to save Huang Yao from suffering a big loss. Tens of billions have gone to waste. You should be prepared to explain this to the shareholders.”

When Sheng Bowen mentioned about the shareholders, Sheng Kai had a headache immediately.

“Why has it become like this?”

After listening to the conversation between the two brothers, Grandpa Sheng finally opened his mouth. “Make an announcement. We will call an extraordinary general meeting with the shareholders.”

“Grandpa, I…”

“You don’t have to say anything anymore.” Grandpa Sheng stood up and walked to his study.

Sheng Kai was furious and grabbed Third Brother’s collar. “You really took great pains to pull me off the horse.”

“You’re wrong. It’s you who pulled yourself off the horse. It has nothing to do with me,” said Third Brother very calmly.

“I will not let your wish come true.”

“We’ll see.” Having said that, Third Brother shook off Sheng Kai’s hand and left the dining hall with Hu Ran.

Sheng Kai’s face paled, but he was helpless. The contract was worth tens of billions. He had made a terribly huge mistake. But no matter what, he would not let Sheng Bowen get what he wanted. He wanted to snatch the position of Crown Prince from him, right?

‘Don’t even think about it.’

The news about Huang Yao getting into trouble soon spread, surprising many people. When Huang Yao was under Sheng Xiao’s management, such a big problem never happened. It was such a huge crisis. How long had Sheng Kai been the Crown Prince? And he was already causing such a big trouble? Anyone would doubt the capabilities of Sheng Kai, what more the shareholders when it would affect their interests.

Soon, Grandpa Sheng changed into a suit and walked out of his room. When he walked through the living room, he said to Third Brother, “You should come, too.”

“Grandpa, it’s better for me not to attend the meeting. I will surely get into a fight with Second Brother. It won’t help in solving the problem,” replied Third Brother. “You should see if he has any backup plan to save the situation.”

“Are you saying that you have one?”

“Since Second Brother suggested collaborating with Tiffany & Co., I have always been against it. It’s just that my objection was to no avail. For the sake of the future of Huang Yao, of course I must do something. However, I still cannot tell you this yet because I’m still not very sure of it,” Sheng Bowen said to Grandpa Sheng.

Grandpa Sheng took a deep breath and nodded. “I shall attend the meeting first.”

Sheng Kai was indeed held accountable for the big mess, and so was he. Every time Sheng Kai and Sheng Bowen quarreled at home, he always sided with Sheng Kai. He seldom listened to Third Brother’s opinions. And what now? He had fallen into a trap.

After Grandpa Sheng left, the living room of Sheng Mansion was finally quiet again.

Gu Ziling had been staring at Sheng Bowen silently. She could barely utter a sentence after a while. “I never expected you to be so clever.”

“Same to you.”

…

The scale of this mess was so big that even Sheng Xiao received the news while he was still in the United States. He returned to Jianchuan right away with Mu Qiqi. However, by the time they arrived at the city, the general meeting of Huang Yao had already ended, hours ago in fact.

“I know nothing about business. However, will this hurt the foundation of Huang Yao?”

“Of course not. An investment failure is completely different from what happened to the Gu family. There are still many ways to fix it,” Sheng Xiao answered. “These things are very complicated. You might not be able to understand when I am just telling you in brief. Don’t waste your brain cells for this. Just know that it is a great chance for Third Brother to gain power.”

“Are you really planning to drag Second Brother from the position of the Crown Prince?”

“Not me, but Third Brother.” Sheng Xiao half-closed his eyes. He was leaning against the sofa in the VIP lounge in the airport, resting. His tone was rather lazy, as if the matter was nothing to him.

“Third Brother is that ambitious?”

“It’s not like you don’t know that he was being grounded in Sheng Mansion before. Only when he gets real power can he truly control his own life.”

“Are you going to help him?”

Sheng Xiao shook his head. “I don’t want to get involved in the jewelry industry anymore. Besides, if Third Brother is incapable in handling this, Huang Yao will still be the same even though the person in charge changed.”

Mu Qiqi did not understand how it worked in business, and she did not want to know either.

“I can only pray in my heart for Third Brother.”

…

The atmosphere was extremely tense in the meeting room of Huang Yao.

Even Grandpa Sheng came. So, they knew how bad the matter was to Huang Yao.

Sheng Kai sat in the seat of the president. All doubtful eyes were on him and some shareholders questioned him right away.

“For so many years, Huang Yao has never failed in any investment. When Sheng Xiao was here, we never sat here because of investment matters. But today, I want to ask you just one thing, CEO Sheng. Have you figured out how to deal with this matter? How many percent can the loss be reduced?”

“Previously, Third Young Master strongly opposed this, but you repeatedly assured us that the collaboration would be a success. And what has happened now? I just want to know who will fill the tens of billions shortfall. Is it you, CEO Sheng?”

“Old Chairman, no matter what, please give us an explanation today.”

Grandpa Sheng looked at everyone with a cold face. He has not spoken since the beginning. He was just staring into space motionless.

“Old Chairman?”

“Grandpa?”

Everyone looked at Grandpa Sheng when suddenly, he fell from his chair. Everyone was frightened and panicked.

“Call for an ambulance, quick! Call for an ambulance!”

In the end, the meeting was unable to be carried on. It was postponed until the afternoon, after Grandpa Sheng woke up.

When Third Brother received the news, he rushed to the hospital with Hu Ran. However, Grandpa Sheng was still in the emergency room.

While waiting, Third Brother punched Sheng Kai hard with his fist. “It’s all because of your selfishness.”
