Chapter 42: Negotiations

Mengbao and her father Shen Siyan sat at the dining table for dinner, and she looked at the clock on the wall: "Dad, why don't you go to the study yet?" ”

Shen Siyan put down the knife and fork in his hand: "I haven't handled some work well, so I won't go today." ”

Mengbao knew that his father had been in trouble recently, but he didn't know what it was. She asked a few questions, but they were all prevaricated by Shen Siyan, so she didn't ask anymore.

"Hmm......" Mengbao nodded and continued to cut the steak with his head down: "I see." ”

Shen Siyan patted his daughter's head: "Don't worry, let's chat after eating." ”

Meng Bao smiled and nodded: "Hmm! ”

By the time the father and daughter finished eating the rest of the food on their plates, it was already half past nine.

The living room was empty, and there was no trace of the servant, Shen Siyan sighed and went straight upstairs to the study. As soon as he pushed the door and entered the room, he saw three thick photo albums on the bed, which Shen Siyan flipped at will. One of the photos caught Shen Siyan's attention, it was a group photo of Mengbao when he first returned home. A little girl in a princess dress and a shawl with her hair is holding a big fluffy snow-white dog with a bright smile.

The man standing next to him was dressed in a straight suit, with handsome and profound facial features, a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and gentle and doting eyes.

Shen Siyan recognized the man in the photo - it was Mengbao's uncle, Lu Mingze.

Thinking about it, Shen Siyan's face became a little ugly.

The Shen Group has recently suffered a heavy blow, with its stock plummeting severely, its market value evaporating by more than 100 billion yuan, and its assets shrinking by 20 percent. Although Shen Siyan tried his best to save it, he still couldn't stop the trend of Shen Group's bankruptcy.

All these reasons are because the Lu Group made a move against the Shen Group, which led to chaos within the Shen Group, which made the Shen Group fall into trouble in a short period of time.

Shen Siyan pondered for a long time, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a string of numbers.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Hey, Mr. Shen." A slightly familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

Shen Siyan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Dong Chen? ”

"Haha, what a coincidence. Mr. Shen actually remembered me, I am really honored. ”

Shen Siyan hooked his lips and sneered: "Chen Dong, I have something to do with you." ”

Chen Dong seemed to be in a good mood and readily agreed: "Mr. Shen, do you have any advice, just give me." ”

The more Chen Dong thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple.

He groaned, pulled out his phone and pressed a set of numbers. The phone rang twice before it was connected.

Chen Dong immediately changed to a respectful tone: "Hello, boss." ”

"What's the matter?"

A low, majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chen Dong suppressed his anger and told what happened to the Shen Group.

After listening, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft cough: "Ahem...... That's right. I see, I'll take care of this. ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on his seat.

He didn't expect that the Shen family would still have this trick. I knew that Shen Si's banquet was so ruthless, even if he fought to the death, he had to win over the Shen family. But it's too late to say anything now.

"Alas!" Chen Dong sighed, full of remorse.

As night falls, the lights come on.

In the courtyard of the Shen Mansion, Shen Siyan sat on a wheel and stared quietly into the distance. His eyes were dark and deep, and he couldn't see through his thoughts at this time.

"Daddy." Mengbao walked over slowly with a plate: "Can we eat?" I'm so hungry! ”

Shen Siyan raised his head and looked at Mengbao, revealing a gentle and doting smile.

"Okay, eat." Shen Siyan reached out and rubbed Mengbao's head.

Meng Bao smirked, handed the dinner plate to Shen Siyan, and then ran to the sofa to get the photo album. She held the album in her arms and waved happily at Shen Siyan: "Dad, it's time to eat!" ”

Shen Siyan smiled and pushed his wheelchair towards the dining table.

Shen Siyan pushed the wheelchair while scanning the photo album in Mengbao's arms. Suddenly, he paused.

Shen Siyan stared at the photo album in Mengbao's arms in a daze. His breathing quickened, and a fire burned in his chest.

What did he see?

Shen Siyan stiffly held the armrest of the wheelchair, his fingertips were white, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were prominent.

At this moment, Shen Siyan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the dark pupils of his eyes flashed with a dark blue light.

Shen Siyan pushed his wheelchair and slowly walked towards the dining table, he sat on the chair, staring at the delicious food in front of him.

Mengbao took out chopsticks from the dinner plate, picked up a piece of chicken, and put it to Shen Siyan's mouth: "Dad, eat~"

Shen Siyan was slightly stunned and looked at Mengbao.

Meng Bao raised a sweet smile: "Dad, can you taste it, tonight's dish is delicious." ”

Shen Siyan opened his mouth and bit the chopsticks in Mengbao's hand, chewed the piece of meat and swallowed it.

"Daddy, is it delicious?" Mengbao asked with a wink of sparkling eyes.

Shen Siyan nodded: "It's delicious." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Mengbao smiled even brighter: "Dad, I haven't eaten much in the past few days, I have lost a lot of weight, and my father eats with me." ”

Shen Siyan smiled: "Okay, I'll eat with you." ”

Mengbao poured the rest of the food into the bowl and fed it to Shen Siyan piece by piece: "Dad, you don't have to worry. I will work hard to earn money to support my dad and my brothers! ”

Shen Siyan looked at Mengbao's serious and resolute appearance, and his heart was warm.

"Good boy."

After the two happily ate together, Mengbao cleaned up the leftovers.

After eating and drinking, Mengbao washed the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the bedroom to get ready for bed.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong......"

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Shen Siyan asked Mengbao to wait for a while. He put on his slippers and walked to the door.

When he opened the door and saw the people standing outside, Shen Siyan frowned: "Big brother, is there something?" ”

"Shen Ruoyun has resigned." Shen Ruoxuan said.

Shen Siyan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Oh, I know. ”

Last night's news was already overwhelming.

The resignation of Shen Ruoyun and Lu Mingze caused a lot of uproar, and even the stock price of Shen's company fell by several percentages, which had a very bad impact.

Shen Siyan said indifferently: "Big brother came to me just to say this nonsense?" ”

Shen Ruoxuan frowned: "Shen Ruoyun has left the company, and now the Shen Group has no leader, what are you going to do?" ”

"Big brother, say whatever you want." Shen Siyan didn't bother to guess the purpose of Shen Ruoxuan's trip, so he asked him directly.

Shen Ruoxuan pursed his thin lips and said, "Something happened to the artist under the Shen Group, what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Siyan narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes: "What's the matter, Lu Mingze broke the news?" ”

"Yes." Shen Ruoxuan admitted: "He has already contacted reporters." Now there is a lot of trouble on the Internet, and the Shen Group is already in danger. What are you going to do? ”

Shen Siyan hooked his lips and sneered: "What I promised her at the beginning, I will do it." But big brother, I hope it's not the last! ”

After Shen Siyan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to enter the house.

As soon as he took a step, he stopped. He looked sideways at Shen Ruoxuan and said, "Big brother, I hope that after this time, the Shen Group will be fully responsible for me." ”

After saying that, he closed the door without hesitation, isolating Shen Ruoxuan's stunned face.

Shen Siyan returned to the bedroom and saw Mengbao sitting on the sofa flipping through her photo album.

"Daddy." Seeing Shen Siyan coming back, Mengbao raised the album high and looked at Shen Siyan with a smile: "Dad, look, I painted three paintings today." ”

Shen Siyan walked over and looked down at the photo album in Mengbao's hand: "Which three?" ”

"The first one, the painting of you and Mommy in close contact, as well as the picture of Mommy wearing a white dress, and a photo of our family of seven."

Shen Siyan lowered his head and kissed Mengbao's forehead, took the album away, and then put it on the bookshelf.

He squatted in front of Mengbao, touched her round and smooth little head, and whispered: "Mengbao, you are my daughter, and Dad will always love you." ”

Shen Siyan's demeanor was extremely serious, and his tone was also extremely cautious.

Mengbao grinned, revealing cute dimples, and her soft and glutinous voice was as sweet as coquettishness: "Well, I know, I also love Dad." ”

Shen Siyan couldn't help but laugh, and pinched her pink little face, "Mengbao is good." ”

He got up and walked over to the bookcase and pulled out the album.

A warm current rose in Shen Siyan's heart, and he put away the photo, put it in the bookcase and locked it.

Shen Siyan turned around and walked to Mengbao's side, he bent down and rubbed Mengbao's soft hair affectionately: "Mengbao, we will definitely be very happy." ”

Hearing Shen Siyan's solemn promise, Meng Bao smiled and nodded heavily.

"Mengbao." He rubbed Mengbao's fluffy little head: "You go and help Dad sort out the information, Dad will be fine immediately." ”

Shen Siyan picked up Mengbao and put it on the bed.

He set his computer aside, pulled open a drawer, pulled out a thick stack of papers, and read them carefully.

He flipped through it a few times and made sure nothing was missing before he began to edit the email.

After writing the manuscript, Shen Siyan checked it and revised it again before pressing the send button.

After all this, Shen Siyan stretched his waist and turned his head to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

He had just come out of the shower when his mobile phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Shen Siyan's eyes flashed with a touch of mockery.

He walked to the balcony and answered the phone: "What's the matter?" ”

"Mr. Shen, someone anonymously posted negative news about our company." The secretary lowered his voice and announced: "This matter has been hyped by the media and has become the headlines of various social platforms. ”

"You stabilize the situation first, and I will solve it as soon as possible." Shen Siyan hung up the phone, and he dialed Lu Mingze's number.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Syan." Lu Mingze's gentle and elegant voice came.

"Lu Mingze, if you don't want to die, delete that video immediately!" Shen Siyan said in a deep voice.

"Huh." Lu Mingze sneered, not to be outdone, and counterattacked: "Shen Siyan, don't think I'm afraid of you!" I've wanted to fight you for a long time, but I didn't have a chance. Since I dare to expose the ugly things about you and Lin Fei'er today, I naturally left a trick behind. Do you think you won? Haha, don't be delusional, Lin Fei'er will ruin you sooner or later! ”

"Smack!"

Before Lu Mingze could finish his chattering, he heard a blind beep on the other end of the phone.

Lu Mingze stared at the dimmed mobile phone screen, and smashed it angrily.

He cursed resentfully.

Shen Siyan actually dared to hang up on him!

Damn it!

This night, Shen Siyan did not sleep peacefully.

At three or four o'clock in the morning, he woke up.

When he opened his eyes, the darkness made him frown slightly, and then, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"Whoa—"

The sound of water dripping from the bathroom.

While taking a bath, Shen Siyan took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Mingze's phone.

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up.

"Si Yan, you are finally willing to call me." Lu Mingze's slightly provocative voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shen Siyan tugged at his tie and responded calmly, "Where are you?" ”

"You want to negotiate with me?" Lu Mingze said jokingly: "Shen Siyan, why should I negotiate with you?" ”

"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it." Shen Siyan said indifferently: "Otherwise, what awaits you is imprisonment." ”

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Lu Mingze's gloomy and cold voice came: "I'm in the Imperial Hotel." ”

Shen Siyan put away his mobile phone, dressed neatly, and left the room with his blazer.

…………

Imperial Hotel.

In the VIP luxury box on the top floor, Lu Mingze was reclining on the sofa, drinking coffee leisurely, and there were two boys of the same age as him standing next to him, both of whom were rich boys, who looked like followers.
