Chapter 99 Cut off all escape routes
What Huang Fengwen did today was actually very simple:
It was simply a matter of bringing this father and son, who had a deep-seated grudge, to the same place, providing them with a platform where they could openly stab each other in the back...
This only added fuel to their already burning anger.
As for the rest, he did nothing.
The rest depends on who loses their temper first!
"I just wonder which of these two will give in first and have to take over this mess?"
Ideally, both of them would be vying to pay! That would be truly exciting!
Huang Fengwen hummed a little tune, feeling incredibly relaxed and happy.
I just hope this deal can be completed quickly.
Otherwise, his old heart would eventually be ruined by that kid Su Hao!
***
After Huang Fengwen slipped away, the private room fell into a deathly silence.
The air seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
A moment later, Shen Chengjia suddenly burst into a piercing, cold laugh, filled with disdain and mockery:
"Hmph! That guy surnamed Huang is completely blinded by greed, he's a madman!"
Ten billion? He really dares to ask for such an outrageous amount!
"Did you hear that, kid? This game is basically over! How long are you going to keep pushing yourself?"
"The end? What do you mean by that?" Shen Zekai asked expressionlessly.
"What do you mean? Do you have 10 billion to buy that pile of worthless shares? No way!"
Don't think I don't know that you've already emptied the company's account to fight me!
"Take even a single penny more, and that's blatant misappropriation of funds! Embezzlement! You'll be heading to jail!"
Shen Chengjia sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
"As for those equity funds that swarm around like flies?"
Hmph, you think they're philanthropists? Do you really think they'd lend you 10 billion?
Even if they're willing to lend you the money, how will you pay it back?
By then, even if you manage to snatch the Director position, the company will have already been hollowed out by those wolves!
"You're nothing but their puppet, and you expect to have a good life?"
Shen Chengjia spoke each word with conviction, making his meaning very clear:
Whoever actually pays out 10 billion is essentially pouring gasoline all over themselves, just waiting for someone else to strike a match!
"The game is over, kid!"
Shen Chengjia looked at Shen Zekai triumphantly, his eyes filled with the air of a victor.
"Now that you've been bitten by that greedy Huang Fengwen, you can forget about turning the tables."
You have no cards left to play!
"And what about you? Can you afford it?" Shen Zekai retorted, not to be outdone.
"Me? If I wanted to buy it, of course I could afford it. But is it really necessary?"
Shen Chengjia said arrogantly, his tone filled with a condescending sense of superiority.
"I had someone do a special calculation, and in the current situation, my shares already have a slight advantage."
Besides, why should I spend 10 billion to let those scoundrels who try to extort money benefit me?
I'm not that senile yet!
Shen Chengjia stood up from his seat with an easy expression, his face showing the ease and smugness typical of a victor, as if victory was already in his grasp.
He straightened his clothes and said in a condescending tone:
"Hand over all your shares and go back to your mother!"
No matter what, you are still a member of my Shen family. I would never go so far as to exterminate you.
But you'd better stay in that lousy factory for the rest of your life!
Reflect deeply on your mistakes and repent for your actions today for the rest of your life!
Shen Chengjia left with this harsh ultimatum, turning and walking away without looking back.
That arrogant back view seemed to have already announced its victory.
"..."
In the empty private room, only Shen Zekai remained, sitting blankly in his chair, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes.
He couldn't eat a single bite or drink a single drop of the fine wine and food served by the waiter.
That's it... over?
Is it really... over just like that?
After years of scheming and forbearance, I finally got this opportunity. Am I going to have to end it all in such a humiliating way?
"No!"
I'm not reconciled!
He was unwilling to accept it!
Shen Zekai suddenly stood up from his chair, and a startling light suddenly burst forth in his eyes!
That was the madness of a cornered beast fighting desperately, the resolute determination to survive even when faced with certain death!
It's not over yet!
This absolutely cannot end like this!
" Uncle Cui!"
"Yes, young master."
Uncle Cui, who had been standing quietly by his side, was now dejected, his face filled with the numbness of despair.
In his view, the situation was hopeless and there was no way to reverse it.
" Uncle Cui …"
Shen Zekai took a deep breath, his eyes sharpening, even carrying a hint of desperate resolve.
"How about we just pour some oil on ourselves?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Cui trembled in fright, nearly kneeling on the spot. He waved his hands repeatedly and exclaimed in shock:
"Wha...what? Young Master! You wouldn't...really be planning to borrow 10 billion, would you?!"
That's not money, that's a death sentence! It's utter ruin! Only a madman would do something like that!
"I know, of course I know that's crazy!"
Of course I know that's like drinking poison to quench thirst, it's playing with fire!
Shen Zekai gave a bitter laugh, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, but his voice remained unusually calm.
"But I, Shen Zekai, don't want to end my life so pathetically!"
Uncle Cui, if we just give up like this, you know better than I what will happen to us.
Are you really willing to just slink away like this?!
"..." Uncle Cui fell silent.
surrender?
Admit defeat?
Give up everything?
That's what a real coward does, that's the most shameful ending!
From the moment he emulated Emperor Taizong, setting up the "Xuanwu Gate" of destiny in his heart, baring the fangs of "ambition," and resolving to kill his father and seize power!
He had already cut off all escape routes, and behind him lay an abyss!
Back then, he had already made a solemn vow in his heart, betting his life, his honor and disgrace, and everything he could gamble with!
No matter how many mountains of fire and seas of destruction lie ahead, no matter the cost of being shattered to pieces, Shen Zekai is determined to hold this company firmly in his hands!
Even if everyone turns against you and abandons you,
Even if a thousand people point fingers,
Even if it means eternal damnation,
This company—
I'm fucking going to have it!
