Chapter 387: Chapter 387
"I heard that just the engagement banquet alone is costing over a hundred million. It’s evident how much the Sheng Family values Weiyi. You might not be able to produce fifty billion, but for the Sheng Family, that’s nothing. Since we’ll all be one family, if you were to ask, your in-laws would definitely agree." Mr. Shen declared.
Waiting here for this, it seems.
It seems her decision to not let Sheng Ting in earlier was correct.
As expected of someone from the old house, their knack for scheming is as sharp as ever. The clacking of their abacus could probably be heard miles away.
This time, Shen Weiyi spoke softly before Shen Juanzhi could, "Grandpa, no matter how much the Sheng Family values me, it’s impossible for them to just give away tens of billions for no reason."
"Why would it be for no reason?" Mr. Shen said sternly, "At most, it can be considered asking the in-laws for help. Isn’t the purpose of an alliance through marriage to support each other in critical times? Besides, it’s not helping for free; this money would be considered an investment by the Sheng Family. Once the project succeeds, the benefits for the Sheng Family will undoubtedly be substantial."
"Everyone knows that investments carry risks. What if it results in a loss?" That’s fifty billion, and with just a simple word, he expects others to shell out so much money to help.
If they really did ask, how would she establish herself in the Sheng Family thereafter?
Hearing this, Mr. Shen’s face grew colder, his displeasure apparent, "Are you saying that you’re unwilling to help?"
Shen Weiyi replied candidly, "It’s not that I don’t want to help, but that I can’t. We’re not participating in this project. If you really have faith in it, you should seek someone else to cooperate with."
Mr. Shen might have been formidable in his youth, but now he was aged and had not handled company affairs for many years.
It was clear that this scheme was concocted by Uncle Shen and the second uncle, who had persuaded the old man to try and tap into Sheng Family’s resources.
Indeed, when people are shameless, they can do anything.
"This family isn’t up to you to speak," Mr. Shen said, his face completely stern as he turned to Shen Juanzhi, "Do you share the same attitude as this girl? Your own father comes to ask for your help, and you’re unwilling? Even if we don’t approach the Sheng Family, what about Shen Technology? Are you really saying it can’t come up with fifty billion? Third, don’t forget, your surname is Shen too; we are ultimately one family."
Shen Juanzhi replied, "Dad, you know as well that the company belongs to Weiyi. I only have managerial rights, not decision-making rights. Besides, the company really can’t produce that much money at the moment. Perhaps you should find someone else to partner with."
"You..." Mr. Shen, upon being refused, burst into fury, smacking the table as he stood up from the sofa, "Fine, very well, consider that I never had you as a son."
With a nonchalant tone, Shen Juanzhi responded, "When I was eighteen and you drove me out of the house, you already said that you should act as if you never had me as a son. For so many years, the Shen Family has been fine without me, so just continue on as if you never had me!"
"You..." Anger rendered Mr. Shen’s face darker than the bottom of a pot, and eventually, with a cold expression, he said to Uncle Shen, "We’re leaving." He then strode towards the door.
"Dad, don’t be angry yet, let’s discuss this calmly," Uncle Shen hastily tried to calm him.
Then turning around, he faced Shen Juanzhi with a disapproving look, "Third, how could you speak to Dad like that? What Dad said back then was just spoken in anger. Over these years, if it weren’t for Dad supporting you from behind, Shen Technology wouldn’t have its present glory. Considering the fact that Dad has raised you, don’t always go against him."
"Big brother also thinks I should go to the Sheng Family for the money?" Shen Juanzhi asked casually, looking at the other.
"This... for the Sheng Family, it’s not much, and after all, we’ll eventually be one family anyway..."
