Chapter 804: Don’t Trust Others So Easily
When Huang Yao was led by Sheng Bowen, despite slow development, he did still develop the company. The Sheng family was not one to change much. Now that Huang Yao was under Zhongteng, both Huang Yao and even the Sheng family had a brand new look.
Sheng Kai’s godfather had promised him a gift, but the Sheng family had made it so that he could no longer interfere. He did not know whether this gift was for him or the Sheng family.
Thinking about it carefully, Sheng Kai felt that it was very ironic. In another two days, Sheng Xiao’s inauguration ceremony would be held. Now, with Huang Yao in Jianchuan, every step was like the sun at noon.
Therefore, Sheng Kai stayed in the company to drink.
When Shen Yu saw this, he sneered. “You blame Teacher in your heart, don’t you?”
“I just don’t understand. He got me to take over Changrong, but he doesn’t give me any missions. He promised me a gift, but it’s only made the Sheng family more united and indestructible. Now… to the Sheng family, I am a complete traitor.”
Sheng Kai’s face was flushed red, and he looked extremely dispirited.
“Teacher definitely has his own plans when he does things. You don’t have to be discouraged so quickly. You must know that you have nothing to lose. I heard that Sheng Xiao did nothing for half a year. He just hid in the Shen family and everyone laughed at him. He became a weakling who relied on women, but half a year later, Zhongteng was born and he now has his status today. He even ate New Year’s Eve dinner in the same space as the head of the country.
“Moreover, Teacher didn’t promise you that he would deal with the Sheng family. He only promised you to send Sheng Bowen to prison. Now that Sheng Bowen is still under our control, he hasn’t gone back on his word.”
Sheng Kai laughed self-deprecatingly and lay down on the sofa. “Even if Sheng Bowen is in prison, Sheng Xiao will still get him out. He might even come after me. I keep feeling like I’m in a trap.”
When Shen Yu heard this, a complex look flashed across his eyes. Then, he turned around and saw Sheng Kai passed out on the sofa.
Did he only realize now that this was a trap?
Shen Yu sneered again and left Sheng Kai’s office. Recently, he had been very close to Sheng Bowen in order to avoid detection of his plans and connections.
However, after leaving Changrong, he took out his phone and called Jin Bo from the car. “Teacher, I’m afraid that Sheng Kai isn’t easy to control. He seems to have… some reactions.”
“Nothing can escape my control. When I return, I’ll give him some missions to stimulate his nerves, and he’ll be obedient again. I’ll give him some missions in the future to let him know that following me is his only way out.”
“I got it.”
“Keep an eye on Sheng Bowen. When the opportunity is right, do it.”
“Okay.” Shen Yu nodded.
“Ah Yu, I trust you so much. Don’t let me down.”
Shen Yu was not like Sheng Kai, who lived a muddle-headed life and was so easily used for no reason. The reason why he followed Jin Bo was because he was raised by him. Sheng Kai could not touch Jin Bo, but he knew very well why Jin Bo wanted to provoke the Sheng family.
The current mayor was a member of the Shen family, but in two years, there would be a change of government.
Zhongteng’s business was so smooth sailing because they had the Shen family’s support behind them. Shen Jianchuan was Sheng Xiao’s father-in-law and one of Zhongteng’s main shareholders. Although he did not hold a position, the Shen family and Sheng family relied on each other, and their foundation in Jianchuan did not collapse.
In addition, Teacher had a grudge with the Shen family.
With grudges added into the mix, Jin Bo would definitely take revenge on these two families in the future.
Although both Huang Yao and Zhongteng were tied to Sheng Xiao, there was nothing bad about it. When the time came, as long as Mu Qiqi was taken care of, Sheng Xiao would immediately fall apart.
As for Sheng Kai, he was just a scapegoat that he kept. Just as Sheng Xiao had expected!
..
Over the past few days, Sheng Bowen had been seeing more of Shen Yu. He seemed to have decided that Shen Yu was a friend of his and he was willing to bring this “brother” with him whenever he had anything good to do. They would eat, drink, play, and appreciate jewelry together. From time to time, he would even take Shen Yu on a night cruise.
“You haven’t been out for long. It’s better for you to keep a low profile when you do things,” Shen Yu advised him. “Don’t let others get hold of you again.”
“What does it matter? Now that Eighth Brother is in charge, I’m just a small fry. There’s nothing for others to pay attention to. Don’t worry.” Sheng Bowen put his arm around Shen Yu’s shoulder and said, “I heard that you’re an orphan.”
Shen Yu’s expression changed slightly.
When Sheng Bowen saw this, he quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to ask about you. It’s just that I feel that there’s nothing better in life than having someone by your side, a brother. Since you don’t have a family, just treat me as your own brother. Anyway, if I have something good to eat and play with, I’ll think of you.”
Shen Yu looked at Sheng Bowen’s innocent face.
It was as if no matter how big the predicament was, he could still face it with a smile.
“Were you born to trust people so easily?”
“Of course not. I also divide people up, okay? For those who treat me well, I naturally trust them. For example, Eighth Brother, and you!” After Sheng Bowen said this, he clinked glasses with him. “There are many beautiful women on the ship. You should go and chat with them. I’m married, so I don’t have the chance.”
Shen Yu smiled and nodded. “Haven’t you seen your wife?”
“She’s been busy with her studies recently, so she’s ignoring me.” Sheng Bowen helplessly took his glass and downed it in one gulp.
“Don’t trust others so much.” Shen Yu smiled faintly, took his glass, and walked into the crowd.
Sheng Bowen turned around and faced the sea, letting the cold wind blow on his face. Don’t trust others so much? Was it because he felt guilty toward him?
He also wanted to know when Shen Yu would make a move against him again.
..
The next day at noon, Gu Ziling put on the airs of the president’s wife and went to Changrong to see what Sheng Kai was up to. When she saw the invitation letter for the inauguration ceremony of the Chairman of Huang Yao on his desk, she immediately threw it into the trash can.
“Do you have any self-respect? You actually want to congratulate Sheng Xiao on his ascension?”
“You don’t know anything, so don’t say anything.” Sheng Kai asked his secretary to pick up the invitation letter.
“Sheng Kai, how long are you going to be fooled by your godfather?” Gu Ziling tugged at Sheng Kai’s lapels and asked, “He gave you a lousy Changrong, but not anything else. He promised to give you a big gift, but in the end? Sheng Xiao directly merged Huang Yao under Zhongteng. Now you have no chance at all. Do you know anything?”
Sheng Kai calmly pushed Gu Ziling away. Then, he looked at her coldly. “I know what I’m doing.”
“Then you can spend the rest of your life with your godfather.”
With that, Gu Ziling cried and left.
Sheng Kai did not chase after her. In any case, his and Gu Ziling’s relationship would be like this forever. He did not expect any changes.
