Chapter 475 - 475 Fight Against Them
475 Fight Against Them
Upon seeing Chu Cichen, the Queen was slightly stunned. She felt a sense of familiarity but was unable to recall where she had seen him before.
She furrowed her brows and turned her attention to Shen Ruojing, expressing her satisfaction with a nod. “Miss Shen is impressive indeed.”
Shen Ruojing asked, “Now that you have seen me, can we continue our discussion?”
“There’s nothing more to discuss.” The Queen stood up. It seemed that she made a trip here specially to merely see someone.
But in the next moment, she surprised everyone by turning to Shen Yuansong and saying, “You can cancel the agreement if you want, but half of the Shen Family’s assets may not be enough.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuansong’s face then turned cold and he retorted, “Madam, the worth of what my family has received from you is far from half of our assets.”
“But you have violated the contract, so you must pay the compensation. I want two-thirds of your family’s assets. If you agree, then the agreement will be void from this moment on. But of course…”
The Queen looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “I really like your granddaughter. You can think about it again.”
After that, she left confidently, and her guards cleared the way in front and behind her. She had spent only ten minutes in the Shen Manor in total.
After the Queen’s entourage left, Shen Ruojing looked at Shen Yuansong and asked, “Grandfather…”
Shen Yuansong’s gaze sank, but he answered confidently, “Give it to her. Even if our family only has one-third of our current assets in the future, we can still be one of the four great families!”
They would go from being the first to the last, but he believed that with Shen Ruojing and Shen Tianye’s leadership, the Shen Family would regain their first position in the future.
Shen Ruojing felt that it was unfair. “It’s normal to compensate for a breach of contract, but her demands are too harsh.”
Shen Yuansong sighed. “There’s nothing we can do. She is from Country A’s royal family and monopolizes the economic trend. It’s better to negotiate with her.”
At this moment, Shen Ruojing felt a sense of helplessness when she asked, “Grandfather, I asked you earlier if there was any financial power that could break their monopoly. You said there was… Who were you talking about?”
Shen Yuansong began to speak. “A few years ago, a corporation named ‘Loong’ suddenly emerged overseas. It was comprised of the world’s top talents, and its founder was said to be a rich second-generation son who had always been a part of the ‘high IQ’ club. He led seven people to establish their new business empire, challenging the positions of the three ancient families. The three families then extended an olive branch, but he refused to accept their terms. So, he was eventually jointly suppressed by the three ancient families…”
“And then?” Shen Ruojing’s heart raced as she listened.
“Loong lost, but as far as I know, they have been steadily developing despite the pressure from the three ancient families.” Shen Yuansong sighed.
Chu Cichen’s eyes flickered as he suddenly asked, “Grandfather, do you think the Loong Corporation can break their monopoly?”
Shen Yuansong stroked his beard and his eyes were full of anticipation. “Yes. When the leader of Loong lost before, he was only 20 years old and full of youthful arrogance. In this case, he was bullied by a group of old men. I believe that after hiding his talents for a while, he will eventually rise again!”
After speaking, he smiled. “But I admire his courage. Loong means Eastern Dragon, and it is obvious that their corporation was founded by a Chinese. Among the three ancient families that control the economy, there are no Chinese. So, he had no idea about being low-key and restrained, and that was what led to his failure last time. But China is becoming increasingly strong today, and it is time for a representative figure to emerge! I also hope that this Eastern Dragon can soar in the sky!”
Chu Cichen listened to this and lowered his eyes, slowly saying, “He will.”
The grandfather looked at him and said with emphasis, “Cichen, I know you are also a business genius. You returned to the country for only a few days and reorganized the Chu Corporation with thunderous means. But there are many talented people in this world, and I don’t expect you to be so powerful. I just hope you can love your country like the founder of Loong. You must remember that without the country’s strength, there would be no place for us today!”
Chu Cichen lowered his head. His attitude was heartfelt and he had a hint of helplessness on his face. “Yes, I will always remember your words.”
Shen Yuansong was finally satisfied.
After sending Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen back to their room, Shen Yuansong looked at the butler and asked, “Was the front gate demolished?”
The butler was very helpless. “Yes, and when the group of people came in, they also trampled on many flowers and plants.”
The butler asked in confusion, “What was the reason for that person to cause this disturbance?”
Shen Yuansong sighed. “To suppress our arrogance! Wait and see, by tomorrow, the news of the Shen Family offending them will spread throughout the four great families. The news of the Shen Family preparing to pay two-thirds of our assets will also spread… Our family most probably will no longer be the same as before.”
The four great families were already at odds with each other.
However, the Shen Family was firmly in the first place.
But starting tomorrow, the Bai, Rong, and Xu families might have some ideas about this first place.
The Queen caused such a disturbance just to make him understand…
In her eyes, the Shen Family was not even worth mentioning. She came if she wanted to, left if she wanted to, and could take away two-thirds of the Shen Family’s assets easily. It was just a matter of words…
It was a quiet night.
The next day, when Shen Ruojing woke up, the grand martial uncle of the Valor Gate called her. “Junior Sister, I have sent the people you wanted over, and I also reminded them not to say that they are from Valor Gate to outsiders.”
Shen Ruojing stretched and said lazily, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
“Why thank me? We are all one family. By the way, our fighting competition is almost over. Hurry up and find Champion Chen!”
Shen Ruojing sighed. “I know.”
Yesterday, the Queen’s direct intrusion made her realize that the security strength of the Shen Family was indeed too weak. Hence, she called her sect overnight, and the old man of Valor Gate immediately sent some disciples over when he heard that she had been bullied.
When Shen Ruojing got downstairs after waking up, she saw the butler bringing several disciples of Valor Gate into the living room. “Miss, they said they came to see you.”
Shen Ruojing nodded. “Uncle Liu, from now on, the security of the house will be entrusted to them.”
The butler was about to agree when a strange voice suddenly came from the side. “Hey, are you trying to insert your people into the security of the house as soon as you join the Shen Family? These people look so skinny and weak. They might fall down with just a push. What benefit did they give you for you to allow them to manage the security of the house? Also, do you know that the Shen Family hires professional guards? I don’t know where you got these people from. Shen Ruojing, you are too overconfident, aren’t you?!”
