Shen Shichuan said, “Don’t you know? Gu Zhaohan recently won a brilliant acquisition battle for a pharmaceutical company, earning him considerable support in the boardroom. Since he owns as many shares as Ah Chen, he is now demanding a re-election for the chairman position. Behind the scenes, he is winning hearts and minds, which is essentially a coup. The shareholders’ meeting for Shengyuan is in a few days, and I’m genuinely worried about Ah Chen.”
On the side, Shen Manbing seemed unconcerned.
Shen Manbing spoke up, “Ah Chen has been with Shengyuan for so many years, his roots run deep and wide. It’s impossible for a greenhorn to defeat him. There’s no need to worry about that at all. Who is Gu Qichen? He’s the business Yama, the king of hell. He’s always the one ending others, not the other way around. The person who could beat him in business probably hasn’t been born yet.”
But Shen Shichuan still seemed worried, “This time is different from before. Gu Zhaohan is Ah Chen’s nephew. If it were just a fight over control, I wouldn’t be worried, but I’m afraid that Ah Chen might just step aside. Otherwise, why do you think Gu Zhaohan has half of Shengyuan’s shares? Plus, I’ve seen Ah Chen recently, and his condition is worrisome.”
Xia Yangyang’s expression grew serious.
Shen Shichuan was right about one thing.
It’s not the competition that’s scary, but the fear that he won’t compete.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang again.
Shen Shichuan hastily went to answer the door.
Gu Qichen came in following Shen Shichuan.
Xia Yangyang was standing on the steps watching them.
After she had taken Xia Ye to the old man’s place, she had stayed in Beijing for quite some days.
During that time, she had almost no contact with Gu Qichen.

It almost felt like a very long time since she had last seen him.
Gu Qichen looked way more haggard than Xia Yangyang had imagined.
When Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang, he also appeared indifferent.
With just a glance, Shen Manbing and Shen Shichuan could tell that there seemed to be a problem between the two of them.
Before dinner, Shen Manbing deliberately took the two of them to the living room to see her newly purchased VR television.
After a while, Shen Manbing said she was going to help in the kitchen.
Then she left the two of them alone in the living room.
Xia Yangyang knew that they were probably creating an opportunity for her to be alone with Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen was sitting there with his legs crossed playing video games.
As if completely absorbed.
Xia Yangyang’s peripheral vision just happened to catch his profile.
The chiseled contours, the innate cool demeanor.
For a moment, Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to say.
Xia Yangyang stood up, intending to help out in the kitchen.
But Gu Qichen suddenly turned his head, “Is being with me really that unbearable for you?”
Xia Yangyang looked at Gu Qichen calmly, “It’s not that I can’t stand it, it’s just that I have nothing to say.”
Gu Qichen fell silent again for a while before speaking, “I know I was wrong for not telling you about Xi Jiaxin’s issue, but if you think I helped him get away with it, then you’re wronging me.”
Gu Qichen rarely explained himself.
But the mere mention of this matter had long left Xia Yangyang disenchanted.
Xia Yangyang said, “I’m not wronging you, Gu Qichen. Ask yourself, are your feelings for Xi Zijun really only as simple as friends? She resigned from Jiang Chen, and immediately you took her under your wing.”
Gu Qichen immediately explained, “That was strictly business. Zijun has the talent, and besides, I owe her a lot for the vineyard incident.”
Xia Yangyang hated Gu Qichen’s sense of indebtedness the most.
But that was something Xia Yangyang didn’t want to nitpick.
With a cold laugh, Xia Yangyang said, “If it was business, were all those countless nights where the two of you had late-night drinks in the office also business?”
