The gazes of the two men met in the air, sizing each other up. In the end, Feng Guoyuan even felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
On the other side, Ji Beichuan shifted his gaze as if nothing had just happened and looked out at the bustling traffic downstairs.
Neither man spoke. The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
"The view from this spot seems quite nice," Ji Beichuan finally broke the silence after a while, as if making small talk.
Feng Guoyuan listened intently but didn't dare to respond. Although Ji Beichuan was young, his methods were extremely capable. After interacting with Ji Beichuan several times, Feng Guoyuan didn't treat him as just a junior. He had to think carefully about whether there was any hidden meaning behind Ji Beichuan's words.
"Standing higher does mean seeing farther. But I wonder if Director Feng has ever heard a saying," Ji Beichuan suddenly turned around. He had been looking downstairs but now he turned to look at Feng Guoyuan beside him. The imposing manner on his body was fully revealed, instantly leaving Feng Guoyuan stunned and not knowing what to do.
Feng Guoyuan just subconsciously shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Only after he said that did he realize that he had been intimidated by a junior. He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Ji, this is the Shen Corporation, not the Ji Corporation. If you have something to say, just come out with it," Feng Guoyuan changed his strategy after realizing that he had been intimidated by the young man in front of him. He wanted to suppress Ji Beichuan from another angle.
After all, this wasn't Ji Beichuan's territory. He was still the leader of the Shen Corporation for now.
"Feng seems to have forgotten that the old man said some time ago that all matters of the Shen Corporation would be handed over to me," Ji Beichuan showed no sign of nervousness at all. Since he had come, he must have made full preparations. He wasn't the least bit flustered when facing Feng Guoyuan.
"I haven't finished my last sentence just now. Does Director Feng want to hear the rest?" Ji Beichuan continued, not caring about Feng Guoyuan's expression at all. At this moment, he was also a bit angry.
Feng Guoyuan raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't know. Ji Beichuan stared at Feng Guoyuan for about two seconds and then said again, "There's a saying that the higher you climb, the harder you fall."
Taking a step forward, Ji Beichuan was already taller than Feng Guoyuan. Now he completely overpowered Feng Guoyuan in terms of momentum, making Feng Guoyuan stand there motionless.
"What exactly do you mean? What do your words mean? Are you threatening me?!" Feng Guoyuan was a bit annoyed.
Ji Beichuan wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he casually placed the folder behind him on the table.
"I think you'll be very interested in the contents here. Why don't you take a good look first, Director Feng? I don't think you'll have many more opportunities to stand at such a high place and enjoy the night view. After all, I heard there's no such treatment in prison," Ji Beichuan didn't stay any longer after looking at the folder on the table. He turned around and left.
He had achieved his goal for today, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
It wasn't until Ji Beichuan left that Feng Guoyuan made sure there was no one around. He picked up the folder and opened it to find a thick stack of materials inside.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if they were ordinary materials, but the contents in them made Feng Guoyuan's face turn pale.
They were all materials about him cashing in the Shen Corporation's stocks and cooperating with other companies to sign contracts against the Shen Corporation.
All the materials were sorted out very clearly. He couldn't even deny it. Once these materials were made public, if the legal department of the Shen Group really got serious, he might really have to spend a few years in prison.
Feng Guoyuan instantly felt panicked. He hurriedly hid the folder on his body and wanted to leave with it.
In his hurry, Feng Guoyuan didn't notice anything amiss. He rushed outside with the things in his hand. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Shen Nanyi head - on.
The moment he saw Shen Nanyi, Feng Guoyuan felt a bit flustered, but he tried his best to keep calm. In his eyes, Shen Nanyi was just a child and wouldn't pose any threat.
"Uncle Feng doesn't seem to be looking too well," Shen Nanyi didn't disappoint Feng Guoyuan. When she spoke, there was always a faint smile on her face, looking very innocent and harmless, as if she didn't pose any threat at all.
Because of what Ji Beichuan had said before, Feng Guoyuan was a bit wary now. He just smiled at Shen Nanyi and didn't say much.
"Uncle Feng has worked hard for the Shen Corporation for so many years. It's time for you to take a good rest," Shen Nanyi said again, which surprised Feng Guoyuan. He sized her up, wondering if Shen Nanyi knew something.
After all, the relationship between Shen Nanyi and Ji Beichuan was well - known in the circle. It wasn't a secret.
"… Miss, what do you mean by that?" Although he was panicked, Feng Guoyuan still wanted to take a chance and bet that Shen Nanyi didn't know anything.
After all, Shen Nanyi had never participated in the company's decision - making. Even the succession of the company was planned by Shen Qingshan. Shen Nanyi had never been involved.
"If Uncle Feng is a smart person, he should understand what I mean. I hope to see your resignation letter on the table tomorrow. That way, everyone will look good," Shen Nanyi didn't rush to expose Feng Guoyuan. She gave Feng Guoyuan two choices. After saying that, she turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
Watching Shen Nanyi's back as she left, Feng Guoyuan felt that he had really underestimated her before. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.
According to the materials in Ji Beichuan's hands, if it really went to court, he would indeed have a hard time getting out of it. But he had worked hard for so many years. It was really hard for him to let go now.
Feng Guoyuan stayed in the Shen Corporation all night and didn't go out. He was struggling and hesitating whether to give in or take a chance.
Shen Nanyi didn't sleep well all night. She had been guarding in front of Shen Qingshan's bed.
It wasn't until almost dawn that Shen Qingshan finally showed signs of waking up. Shen Nanyi quickly reacted and stared directly at Shen Qingshan.
Not long after, Shen Qingshan slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and seemed a bit dazed.
Soon, the doctors surrounded him and gave him a full - scale examination. The result of the examination was quite good. Apart from some minor skin injuries, there was nothing serious.
After this commotion, Shen Qingshan, who had been a bit in a daze, finally remembered what had happened. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
"Leave the company's affairs to you. I want to go abroad for convalescence," Shen Qingshan looked at Shen Nanyi for a while and then made a decision. He took this opportunity to hand over all the affairs of the Shen Corporation to Shen Nanyi.
He knew that Shen Nanyi had the ability to take over the Shen Corporation, but there had never been a suitable opportunity. Now was a good chance.
