Second Son of Shen Family looked at Shen Juanzhi and huffed, "Dad wants you to merge your company into the Shen Family’s, and from thereon treat it as part of the Shen’s assets. We’re all family here—father and sons, brothers. There’s no need to be so divided, making outsiders laugh at us."
"Heh!" Shen Juanzhi couldn’t help but laugh, "You really have some nerve!"
Neither the Eldest Son of Shen Family nor the second were cut out for business, and ever since the company had been handed over to them, it had been declining year by year. Rumor had it that several of their investments in recent years had resulted in losses, and now they were setting their sights on his achievements.
Upon hearing this, Second Son of Shen Family instantly bristled, "Third, what sort of attitude is that?"
Eldest Son of Shen Family, playing the peacemaker as usual, advised, "Third, we all share the Shen surname, we’re all brothers here. Don’t worry, –Dad said he absolutely won’t let you suffer a loss."
Shen Juanzhi was too lazy to waste any more words with them and replied icily, "Go back and tell the old man to stop dreaming. I founded Shen Technology with my own two hands, and it has nothing to do with the Shen Family—not a single cent. It’s what I intend to leave as the sole dowry for my only daughter, and nobody is going to lay a hand on it."
"Third, you’re really being foolish. She’s a girl and will have to marry sooner or later; what right does she have to inherit the company? That is Shen Family’s asset. Giving it to her would be a gift to outsiders. If you ask me, you should listen to Dad, merge your ’little broken company’ back into the family’s assets. With the backing of Shen Family’s capital, even your small company can flourish," Second Son of Shen Family scolded him arrogantly.
"Second brother, you’re wrong. It’s my asset and I’ll give it to whoever I damn well please. Besides, giving it to my own daughter, how could you consider that giving it away to outsiders?"
When Second Uncle Shen realized his words weren’t swaying him, he couldn’t help but point and curse at him, "You, you’re just incorrigible!"
Shen Juanzhi curled the corners of his lips into a cold smirk, "Brothers have always known I’m , haven’t you? Also, I’ve already arranged my daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony, so there’s no need for others to bother. I’ll send the invitations to the old house later. If you have the time, feel free to come. If not, no pressure. I have other matters to attend to, so I can’t keep you any longer." With that, he effectively issued an eviction notice.
Second Son of Shen Family was instantly infuriated, "Are you throwing us out?"
Shen Juanzhi replied, "If you wish to stay longer, it’s not impossible, but there’s no one to entertain you at home—so long as you don’t mind."
With a grimace, Second Son of Shen Family glared at him and said, "The old man wants that girl to have her coming-of-age ceremony back at home. And the business matter is also per Dad’s wishes; surely you wouldn’t dare disobey him?"
Shen Juanzhi replied nonchalantly, "It’s not the first time I’ve ignored his words; what’s so surprising about that?" The old man’s casual remarks, expecting him to hand over a business he built over more than a decade, must be daydreaming.
It seemed he hadn’t returned to the Shen Family for too long, and these people had forgotten his temperament.
Did they really think he and his daughter were so easily manipulated?
As if his belongings were up for grabs, not fearing their hands might be chopped off.
"Just perfect, tell the old man," Shen Juanzhi said, "I don’t want the Shen Family’s things, and nobody should covet mine. Otherwise, I won’t care about any father-and-son, brotherly affection. If things turn ugly and we fall out, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance."
"You..." Second Son of Shen Family was so angry he was lost for words.
Seeing his two younger brothers quarreling on the spot, Eldest Son of Shen Family hurriedly stepped in to mediate, "Enough, enough, we’re all brothers. Let’s talk this out nicely, no need to fight!"
