"What your daughter did to my granddaughter, we'll do the same to her. I'll be magnanimous. What do you think?" Shen Qingshan said calmly, his voice leaving no room for jest.
Not all things could be excused by youth.
"Mr. Shen, since the incident has already happened, we should focus on how to resolve it. Please don't joke around," Jiang Guohua forced a laugh, his face showing a hint of uneasiness.
"...You can leave. There's no room for negotiation on this. From today on, it's either the Shen family or the Jiang family that will perish," Shen Qingshan issued the order to expel, afraid that if he continued to look at Jiang Guohua's face, he would lose control and punch him.
What on earth had he done to make Jiang Guohua misunderstand that he was an easy - going person?
"Mr. Shen, although the Jiang family is not as prosperous as before, it's not completely useless. This will only end up in a lose - lose situation. Is it really worth it for a child?" Since entering the room, Jiang Guohua had been acting submissively, but now he couldn't hold it in anymore and his tone became tougher.
Even if the Jiang family was inferior to the Shen family, it wouldn't be easy for the Shen family to take on the Jiang family.
"Definitely worth it. No one is allowed to bully the children of the Shen family," Shen Qingshan's words clearly showed his stance.
"Is it still worth it even if it will drain the Shen family's strength? You probably don't know that the Jiang family has recently reached a cooperation with the Rothschild family. A huge amount of working capital will be injected. If we really fight, neither side will gain any advantage," Jiang Guohua probed Shen Qingshan's bottom line bit by bit, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.
In the end, he still felt lacking in confidence. Even with a large amount of capital injection, it wouldn't be easy for the Jiang family to catch up with the Shen family quickly. It was just an extra bargaining chip for him.
"Sorry, that cooperation has been cancelled," Ji Beichuan pushed the door open and walked in before Shen Qingshan could say anything, exuding a menacing aura.
Even an experienced businessman like Shen Qingshan felt a bit wary when seeing Ji Beichuan in this state.
Ji Beichuan first went to Shen Nanyi's house to look for her. When he found that the whole family was out, he came directly to the Shen Corporation. Unexpectedly, he caught this show.
He knew everything that had happened on the Internet and naturally understood who was behind it. Now his gaze at Jiang Guohua was full of murderous intent.
"What right does a junior like you have to speak in matters among the older generation? Moreover, this is a matter between the Jiang family and the Shen family. Does your Ji family also want to get involved?" Jiang Guohua felt a bit nervous at Ji Beichuan's appearance but tried his best not to show it.
There might be a slim chance of winning against the Shen family alone, but if the Shen and Ji families joined forces, there would be no chance at all.
"Since juniors have no right to speak in matters among the older generation, why do you, an elder, get involved in matters among the juniors?" Different from Shen Qingshan, Ji Beichuan was well - known for his poisonous tongue and cunning. A few words made Jiang Guohua's face turn even uglier.
Shen Qingshan was sitting on one side, silent, clearly looking on as a spectator.
"Also, I don't represent the Ji family. I only represent myself. Here's the contract between you and the Rothschild family. Take a look," Ji Beichuan was a man of few words but also very decisive. He quickly threw a contract on the table.
At first, Jiang Guohua didn't take Ji Beichuan's words seriously, but when he saw the clear seal on the contract, he woke up instantly.
How did Ji Beichuan get in touch with the Rothschild family? Didn't the Rothschild family tell him before that they had no cooperation with any domestic enterprises?
"So what? Breaking the contract means paying liquidated damages. Just this amount of liquidated damages will be enough for the Jiang family to take a step forward," Jiang Guohua continued to hold on after glancing at the contract. At this moment, he couldn't show any sign of timidity or uneasiness. Otherwise, once the other side sensed his weakness, the Jiang family would be completely doomed.
Not only Jiang Guohua but also Shen Qingshan didn't understand the meaning of what Ji Beichuan had done. Even if the contract was terminated, the amount of liquidated damages would definitely not be small, and it wouldn't cause much damage to the Jiang family.
But somehow, Shen Qingshan felt that Ji Beichuan would bring him a surprise, so he didn't say anything first and continued to wait for the follow - up development.
"Why don't you think carefully if there were any special additional conditions when the Rothschild family signed the contract with you?" Ji Beichuan was not in a hurry at all. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes when he saw Jiang Guohua's look.
It was really a miracle that the Jiang family had managed to maintain its position under Jiang Guohua's leadership.
After Ji Beichuan's reminder, Jiang Guohua suddenly thought of something and looked at Ji Beichuan in disbelief.
Indeed, when the Rothschild family approached him for cooperation, there was an additional condition. That was, once the Jiang Group had any negative scandals that caused the stock price to drop to a certain level, the Rothschild family could not only change the contract at any time but also demand a huge amount of compensation from the Jiang family.
At that time, he was only happy. In addition, although the Jiang family's stocks hadn't risen sharply, they had been very stable for several years. The value set by the Rothschild family was relatively lenient, so he didn't think much and agreed.
Now that he thought about it, something seemed strange. Did Ji Beichuan know this would happen in advance? Or was this a trap set by Ji Beichuan from the very beginning?
If it was the former, it would be okay. If it was the latter, Ji Beichuan's mind was incredibly deep.
"You..." Looking at Ji Beichuan, Jiang Guohua couldn't say a single word. He didn't know how to question Ji Beichuan and just felt cold from head to toe.
"The Jiang family should spend this time thinking about how to pay the compensation to the Rothschild family instead of coming to the Shen Corporation to cause trouble," Ji Beichuan never knew what "moderation" meant. He only knew that those who had hurt Shen Nanyi couldn't be let go.
Jiang Guohua stood there stunned, his mind racing to find a way to remedy the situation. At present, it was impossible to save Jiang Yiyuan. In that case, it would be better to quickly sever the relationship.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Guohua chose the latter between Jiang Yiyuan and the Jiang family. As long as there was money, he could have more children in the future. The Jiang family had so many children and didn't lack Jiang Yiyuan.
"Anyway, it's not good to hurt the harmony. I won't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. You can do whatever you want with Jiang Yiyuan. The Jiang family won't care anymore. This is our biggest concession," Jiang Guohua thought he had put himself in a very low position when he said this.
For a moment, Jiang Guohua felt a bit heart - broken when he said this, but thinking of the Jiang family, he suddenly felt that his choice was very wise and everyone would understand him.
He had put himself in such a low position. Shen Qingshan and Ji Beichuan should at least give him some face.
"It's necessary for her to be punished. Everyone has to pay the price for their choices, but it doesn't mean the Jiang family is innocent," Ji Beichuan ignored Jiang Guohua's face and threw a thick stack of materials on the table.
Some of them were the financial transactions between the Jiang Group and some studios, which were exactly the ones that used to buy data on Weibo. Several of the accounts were the ones with the most malicious black fans.
It was true that the Jiang family hadn't directly participated in this matter, but they had definitely fanned the flames. Now it was not that easy for Jiang Guohua to sever the relationship.
Since Shen Nanyi had been constantly slandered, Shen Qingshan had suspected that the Jiang family was involved. But suspecting was one thing, and seeing the evidence was another. Now Shen Qingshan was completely enraged.
"So there's no room for negotiation on this. Are the Ji and Shen families going to join forces to bully us?" Jiang Guohua's business skills were average, but he was good at reading people's expressions. He could tell at a glance that there was no room for negotiation.
Ji Beichuan and Shen Qingshan nodded in unison, indicating that there was no room for negotiation at all.
Jiang Guohua couldn't pretend anymore. He put himself in the lowest position and tried to negotiate with them again. "What on earth do you want for you to stop and spare the Jiang family?"
Jiang Guohua had never felt so aggrieved. The most important thing was that he had put himself in such a low position, but the other side obviously didn't give him any face.
Thinking of the people on the board of directors of the Jiang Group who were still waiting for his result in the company, Jiang Guohua gritted his teeth in anger, but he had to swallow his pride and act submissively.
He had tried the tough way and it didn't work. Now he could only try the soft way to see if it would work.
"Unless the Jiang family voluntarily declares bankruptcy or selects a new CEO," Ji Beichuan and Shen Qingshan surprisingly had the same opinion on this matter. They even said the same answer without prior discussion.
Jiang Guohua's face turned completely red with anger. He slammed the door and left.
Neither of these two options was acceptable to him.
After Jiang Guohua left, the two people in the meeting room looked at each other and then smiled tacitly. Shen Qingshan didn't find Ji Beichuan so unpleasant anymore.
"The little girl is in Singapore watching Shen Ye's concert. If you're free, go there," Shen Qingshan had a bit more favorable impression of Ji Beichuan because of what he had done today, so he told him where Shen Nanyi was.
Shen Qingshan didn't say much more, but for a smart person like Ji Beichuan, this hint was enough.
After hearing Shen Qingshan's words, Ji Beichuan couldn't hide his excitement. He quickly agreed and promised, "I'll push off all my work and go there right away. Don't worry. I won't let her get hurt at all."
Two men with an age gap of nearly sixty years stood on the same side because of a common goal of protection.
Watching Ji Beichuan's hasty back as he left, the corner of Shen Qingshan's mouth involuntarily twitched slightly. There was a time when he was also so young, and there was a girl who made him so worried. Youth was really wonderful.
"Buy a large amount of the Jiang family's shares. Keep the share price at twenty yuan per share. Don't let it fluctuate too much, and don't let it fall below nineteen yuan," Shen Qingshan called the finance department after Ji Beichuan left.
The Jiang family was too naive to think that things would end like this. He had to let them know what it meant to be tortured.
He had already read the contract on the table. The bottom - line price of the shares in the contract between the Rothschild family and the Jiang family was nineteen yuan per share. As long as the Jiang family's share price didn't fall below nineteen yuan, the Jiang family could get a sum of compensation.
What could be more desperate than having hope right in front of you but never being able to grasp it?
Shen Nanyi had no idea that because of her, there was a major reshuffle in the domestic market. At this moment, she was shopping in the mall with Ling Xiaoxiao and Shen Ye.
Although Shen Ye was dressed very carefully, Shen Nanyi was still a bit worried that he would be recognized by his crazy fans around him. After all, Shen Ye was really popular.
Every time she saw Shen Ye drilling into the crowded places, Shen Nanyi's heart would hang in mid - air.
But Shen Ye seemed like nothing was wrong. He was jumping up and down in the crowd, extremely happy.
Maybe the pressure from the recent concerts was too great. Finally having such a relaxing atmosphere, Shen Ye was so happy that no one could stop him.
There was a small music concert in the music square, and there were a lot of people gathered around. Shen Ye dragged Ling Xiaoxiao and Shen Nanyi and squeezed into the crowd.
Looking at the dense crowd, Shen Nanyi felt a bit scared, afraid that she would be surrounded later.
Since experiencing the power of the star - chasing girls last time, Shen Nanyi would feel nervous when seeing crowded places.
She winked at Ling Xiaoxiao several times, hoping that Ling Xiaoxiao would stand by her side and help her persuade Shen Ye.
But now Ling Xiaoxiao was completely immersed in the excitement of Shen Ye holding her hand voluntarily. She didn't have time to care about anything else.
It was hopeless for her to stop Shen Ye alone, so Shen Nanyi simply gave up and followed Shen Ye into the middle of the crowd.
I have to say that the atmosphere of the foreign concert was much better than that of the domestic ones. Many people around were swaying along, very unrestrained.
Unconsciously, Shen Nanyi was also infected by the atmosphere and started to sway along.
"The main task has been activated. Please prepare, host. The task will start in two seconds," unfortunately, the system's voice sounded just when Shen Nanyi was having a great time.
Shen Nanyi stopped immediately. Two seconds of preparation time was basically no time at all.
During the two seconds of waiting, Shen Nanyi felt that time passed incredibly slowly. She thought it would be better if the system just directly issued the task like before instead of making her suffer like this.
