Chapter 33: Withdrawal of Shares From the Chen Family
Pei Mingchen’s entire body was pressed down on Mu Qiannian.
“You’re handsome, virtuous, and obedient. More importantly, you have abs. I’m blind if I don’t like you.”
Actually, Mu Qiannian did not care about any of this. What she cared about was Pei Mingchen’s sincerity towards her.
Pei Mingchen’s determination to take revenge at all costs for her sake made it impossible for her to treat this person as someone she did not care about ever since she found out about it.
Pei Mingchen curled his lips. He seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Then, he heard a cry of surprise.
.
“Oh my!”
Pei Mingchen looked in the direction of the cry and saw Bai Jin and Chen Desheng.
He sat up straight and reached out to pull Mu Qiannian up from the sofa.
Chen Desheng went down the stairs and said in an unfriendly tone, “This is the living room of the Chen family. How dare you mess around here? Don’t you know shame?”
Chen Desheng looked at Pei Mingchen and Mu Qiannian with disapproval.
Bai Jin followed up and said, “Although you two are now a couple, this is too outrageous.”
She did not want to criticize Pei Mingchen in front of Chen Desheng, so she looked at Mu Qiannian and said, “I always thought you were a good girl. How could you do such a thing…?”
When Pei Mingchen and Mu Qiannian heard this, their expressions changed.
Without waiting for Mu Qiannian to answer Bai Jin, Pei Mingchen said with a straight face, “It’s normal for a couple to do these things.”
Bai Jin immediately replied, “How is it normal? Before getting married, how can a good girl be like this…”
After a pause, Bai Jin said, “Mu Qiannian, your uncle Desheng and I have always thought that you are a good child. You have to love yourself!”
Mu Qiannian could clearly see Pei Mingchen’s sullen face.
Thinking of his current situation, it seemed that she could not argue with the Chen family just like that.
Therefore, Mu Qiannian reached out and held his hand. She looked at Bai Jin and Chen Desheng with a frank gaze.
“Auntie, Pei Mingchen and I have never crossed the line. Kissing might be the most that we’ve done.”
After pausing for a moment, Mu Qiannian glanced at the stairs with a faint smile.
“We will definitely not be like Chen Jia. Don’t worry.”
Chen Jia had cheated on her, and his actions were even broadcast online.
The upper-class society had been talking about the Chen family nonstop for the past few days.
Chen Desheng’s face darkened when he heard that, and his expression was sullen. “You really have no manners. You actually dare to mock your elders. You’re too insensible.”
Pei Mingchen endured it. When he heard Chen Desheng scolding Mu Qiannian, he did not wait for Mu Qiannian to stop him.
He stood up with a whoosh and held Mu Qiannian’s hand.
“She’s my girlfriend. It’s my fault for being insensible.”
“So, if you’re angry, come at me!”
After Pei Mingchen finished speaking, he pulled Mu Qiannian away from Chen Desheng.
Chen Desheng was so angry that he almost could not catch his breath. He looked at the door and said angrily, “You’ve really hardened your wings. You actually dare to talk back because of Mu Qiannian!”
Bai Jin quickly explained, “Maybe Mingchen is in a bad mood. Why are you arguing with him?”
Bai Jin’s consolation could not appease Chen Desheng’s anger at all. Instead, it made Chen Desheng even angrier.
“He’s in a bad mood? He can talk back to his elders just because he’s in a bad mood?”
“Look at him. How can he take me, his elder, seriously? He’s really rebelling!”
Bai Jin, who was standing at the side, did not speak anymore. She did not really want to plead for Pei Mingchen. Instead, she felt that Pei Mingchen was not done with Chen Desheng.
When Old Master Chen heard Chen Desheng and his wife’s words, he also felt that Pei Mingchen did not have any manners. As for Mu Qiannian, Old Master Chen did not take her seriously at all.
It was just that when two children were dating, it was still uncertain whether they would be together in the end.
Early the next morning, Chen Desheng was still dreaming when he received an emergency call from the Chen Group.
“Manager, our previous cooperation was intercepted by someone, and the project that was supposed to be paid for previously was also blocked and could not be approved.”
Chen Desheng’s sleepiness was reduced by more than half. He had been in the business market for a long time, and it was obvious at a glance that this situation was being manipulated and targeted by someone.
“There’s no rush to pay off the project. They can only delay the completion of the project for a period of time. The key is cooperation.”
After a pause, Chen Desheng said to the other end of the phone, “You stay in the company first. I’ll call Chen Jia to go to the company.”
Although Chen Desheng was the manager, his father clearly did not want to hand the company over to him.
Instead, Old Master Chen wanted to bypass Chen Desheng and directly hand it over to Chen Jia.
Although he was not happy that the old man did not believe him, Chen Jia was still his biological son.
When Chen Jia rushed to the company, the assistant had already prepared the documents for the cooperation.
“This is the cooperation plan approved by the client. According to reliable sources, it was only a spur-of-the-moment idea to intercept our company. The plan on hand definitely won’t be perfect in a short period.”
“They must have deliberately wanted to lower the price for us, so they released the news that they were considering the cooperation. General Manager, you can take the plan with you and go there personally. Perhaps your sincerity will move the client.”
Chen Jia had his own understanding.
“If the client is really just lowering the price, they can contact us in private to discuss the final price. The news of our cooperation at this time must have been spread by that maliciously competing company in order to make us panic.”
Hearing Chen Jia’s analysis, the assistant pondered for a moment and asked, “Then what should we do now?”
Chen Jia frowned and thought for a moment. In his mind, he thought of Manager Wang, who had handed the project over to them previously.
“Go and book a luxurious private room now. I’ll contact Manager Wang to get some information.”
The two of them divided their work and worked together. As for what happened after that, they waited until the next morning.
An entertainment headline suddenly became a hot topic.
In order to cooperate, the eldest son of the Chen family brought the client into the Peach Club. After dozens of beautiful women entered, they never came out again.
When Old Master Chen saw this news, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
He was strict with his family. He even repeatedly told the younger generation to be careful.
He did not expect that his eldest grandson would actually pull the Chen family into the entertainment headlines.
Due to this news, everyone boldly guessed that the previous cooperation of the Chen Group with the client might have been based on prostitution.
For a time, no one in the entire business world was not curious about this matter.
It even had a serious impact on the shareholders of the Chen Group.
The Chen Group was a joint venture. The largest shareholder was Old Master Chen, and the rest were several investors of the same generation as him.
At this moment, they sent a message one by one, saying that they were going to hold a shareholders’ meeting.
Old Master Chen, Chen Desheng, and Chen Jia were sitting at the shareholders’ meeting. They were criticized by several shareholders.
In the middle, a shareholder who was much quieter than Old Master Chen suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “Is it true that you brought the person-in-charge of the other party to the club?”
Chen Jia suddenly fell silent. His silence meant that he had admitted it.
The shareholder’s face was dark, and his voice was sullen.
“If that’s really the case, I may not be able to continue working with your Chen family. I’ll withdraw my shares.”
The three members of the Chen family were stunned.
Chen Desheng had been retreating from the frontlines ever since he was in poor health.
He would not have come out today if it was not for the shareholders’ meeting.
Looking at the culprit this time, Old Master Chen was disappointed.
“Ah!”
A cry of surprise sounded.
