Chapter 93 The Decisive Bomb!
"What the hell is going on?! I woke up and I'm no longer the Director?"
Like a bolt from the blue!
Shen Chengjia, frail and elderly, lies on his sickbed When the old chairman heard this news, he almost jumped out of bed!
Those already cloudy old eyes were now wide open, filled with unbelievable rage.
" Director, please calm down! Judging from this situation, it's highly likely that Second Young Master Shen Zekai is behind this!"
Secretary Xiao Yang also looked shaken.
"He... he somehow convinced the shareholders of Changqing Global Trust to secretly hold a Director's meeting, and with a majority of votes, he managed to oust you and... the young master!"
Good heavens!
Overnight, Shen Chengjia and his eldest son were dramatically kicked out of the Changqing Group and removed from its core power structure!
"That unfilial son...that little beast! What is he trying to do?!"
Shen Chengjia was trembling with rage, his thin fingers gripping the bedsheets tightly until his knuckles turned white, as if he wanted to smash the bed frame through.
"Those shareholders, they're all my men! How could they have been turned by the second brother?!"
Shen Chengjia was completely baffled, his temples throbbing.
"Aren't the shares they hold all 'loyalty shares' that I gave them back then?!"
Shen Chengjia single-handedly built up Changqing Global Trust.
To ensure absolute control, he carefully selected the shareholders, and every single one of them was a loyal confidant who was completely devoted to him.
Moreover, according to regulations, these shares cannot be sold, and must be handed over obediently upon resignation.
These are completely the "Imperial Guard" shares that protect and safeguard Shen Chengjia!
"Reporting to…Reporting to the Director," the secretary swallowed hard.
"That's the problem. I suspect the Second Young Master has been secretly plotting to undermine you, winning over people's hearts without anyone noticing!"
"They've rebelled! They've rebelled! These traitorous dogs!"
Shen Zekai, that brat, used to seem like a quiet, unambitious person, you couldn't see any ambition in him at all.
So he was plotting something big behind my back, trying to pull some dirty tricks on me?
Shen Chengjia rubbed his throbbing temples, his head throbbing as if it were about to explode.
No! Now is not the time to be angry!
The most urgent task is to put out the fire; we must quickly extinguish this wildfire.
"Xiao Yang," he took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpening, "this matter… is there still hope? If I personally intervene, can I turn things around?"
" Director, if you're willing to personally step in, we can definitely turn the tide!" Secretary Yang quickly encouraged his boss.
"If you just raise your voice, those fickle shareholders will definitely flock back to your side!"
However... to say they'll all come back is probably... a bit doubtful.
"What do you mean by that?" Shen Chengjia frowned.
"Think about it, Director, this kid Shen Zekai dared to suddenly launch an attack, directly calling a Director's meeting to 'invite' you out. This is clearly a declaration of war against you, a complete breakdown in relations!"
Secretary Yang analyzed,
"How could he not have some backup plan? He must have anticipated that you would personally retaliate. By then, with the shares being divided, he probably has enough capital left for himself to fight you head-on!"
"You mean that kid already has enough shares to rival me?"
Shen Chengjia's voice was as cold as ice shards in the dead of winter, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"It's almost certainly true! Otherwise, where would he get the guts to go so far?"
This mess will likely remain unresolved until the dust settles and the shareholding situation of all parties is thoroughly clarified before we can truly understand how many tricks he has up his sleeve.
Shen Chengjia had already handed over the reins of the Group's daily operations to his eldest son, stepping down to a secondary role and becoming the de facto ruler, directing operations from behind the scenes.
He was thinking about when to pick an auspicious day to formally pass on the throne, and then enjoy his old age in peace.
Who would have thought that at the very last moment, such a huge fire would break out in our own backyard!
Ultimately, the reason why these "die-hard confidants" defected is inextricably linked to the fact that this old guy has been retired for too long, and his deterrent power has greatly diminished.
"Call them one by one! No! I'll call them myself!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Chengjia's eyes.
" Director, your health..." Secretary Yang said with some concern.
"Damn it, I'm not dead yet! This little brat thinks I'm done for and wants to climb over me to get ahead?"
"No way! Let me tell you, even if I'm going to my grave, I'll break this little brat's legs before I die!"
In an instant, Shen Chengjia's eyes, which had become somewhat cloudy and lifeless due to illness, suddenly burst forth with the sharp light that had once dominated his youth!
It felt as if we had returned to those glorious years of war and conquest.
An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles.
Although the old man's body is failing, his indomitable spirit still burns like a raging fire!
However, this time his opponent was his own son, by blood, which made the overall atmosphere seem particularly desolate...

The internet's memory is short-lived.
The " Dieselgate " incident caused a global sensation and also stirred up a huge uproar in China.
They launched a barrage of criticism, practically wanting to dig up the ancestral graves of the car company involved.
But now, looking at the news, there's not a trace of " Dieselgate " left.
It was so clean it looked like nothing had ever happened.
The world's onlookers, including domestic stock market investors, have long been captivated by this latest bombshell.
Turn on the TV, open the newspaper, scroll through your phone—it's all about the scandals involving Changqing Group!
What's the hottest and most eye-catching headline right now?
Changqing Group Old Chairman Shen Chengjia is back in force! The battle for succession has officially begun!
What has been the most popular form of entertainment among the people throughout history?
That would definitely be a spectacle of watching a fierce online battle!
What's more, this is a fight over the top position of the multi-billion dollar Changqing Group!
It was the biological son who rebelled against his own father and brother, staging a real-life version of "Family Infighting: The Revenge of the Cunning Younger Brother"!
In the conference room of Fang Huan Investment's Special Trading Department, all the department members were gossiping about Changqing Group like busy market vendors.
There was nothing they could do; this matter was directly related to them.
"Speaking of which... Mr. Su, how much do you think those two groups from Changqing would offer to buy our shares?"
That's right! The reason why this group of well-dressed financial elites were so excited and talking so passionately about the gossip surrounding Changqing Group in the conference room is precisely this!
It's that unfortunate Jinkun Holdings, the company that sold them shares worth two billion!
Normally, this kind of thing would be a hot potato, something you'd rather not have than have, as it would be a complete waste of your money and impossible to liquidate.
But now, the tables have turned, and it has transformed into a minority related stake in Changqing Global Trust, the parent company of Changqing Group, in this power struggle!
Who knows, this might be the game-changer in this "Prince's Revenge" story!
