BXBX NOVEL Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Ye Chen’s Attitude!
He knew very well whose voice it belonged to.
Half a year ago, he had to hear it almost every day in his office.
This was Shen Haihua’s voice.
The founder of North Name Corporation!
The indisputable existence in the entire North Name Corporation!
However, after being diagnosed with a terminal disease, Shen Haihua stopped appearing in the office.
All the directors in the corporation seemed to think that North Name Corporation would lapse into an inheritance war and the position of the president might go to Shen Haihua’s children.
As for Zhao Jun’s own post as CFO, he owed it to his father!
When everyone started to panic in the corporation, his father—in order to obtain more shares in the corporation—pushed Zhao Jun to the front line.
Zhao Jun was aware that he could never have gotten the position on his own.
Now, the rightful owner had appeared! Zhao Jun’s back was drenched in sweat.
Zhao Jun turned slowly on his back. When he came face to face with the man clad in a Tang costume, he felt the last of his spirit escape him.
It was Shen Haihua!
Was he not… dead? Did he come back to life?
Was that a person or a spirit?!
“Uncle Shen… What brought you here? I heard that you were sick, right?”
Whatever arrogance he had just now had been suppressed into the utmost minimum. There were even hints of flattery in his smile.
Shen Haihua harrumphed coldly. “Hmph! If I reached here any second later, I’m sure someone will destroy my entire life’s work!”
Zhao Jun’s smile froze, but he still extended a hand out to him. He said politely, “Uncle Shen, you must be joking again. That’s right. Are you here to inspect how the collaboration with Armani is doing?”
Zhao Jun initially thought that Shen Haihua would hold back from embarrassing Zhao Jun because they were outside in public. Yet, much to Zhao Jun’s dismay and surprise, Shen Haihua simply slapped Zhao Jun’s hand away with a loud “piak!”
Then, Shen Haihua stormed off toward another direction.
Looking at the direction where Shen Haihua was headed, only three people stood there.
Ye Chen, Sun Yi, and He Qian.
Both Sun Yi and He Qian were in a state of confusion. What reasons did the president of North Name Corporation have to come over?
Could he be here to help Zhao Jun pick up the pieces?
Seeing Shen Haihua walking toward her, He Qian mistook it as an attempt to console her. Feeling flattered, she hurriedly close in on the distance between her and Shen Haihua.
“Uncle Shen, I’ve heard so much about you from Jun. Really, you don’t have to come to us personally. We can deal with these two ourselves. I’ll inform my family about this later. By then, none of them will be able to escape!”
He Qian threw a nasty glare at Sun Yi after speaking.
It was as though He Qian’s eyes were screaming at Sun Yi: “This is the real meaning of power! This is how influence works! A poor f*cker like you will never understand this feeling!”
Sun Yi’s legs trembled. She knew this incident had attracted a lot of unwanted attention, yet she would never have expected Shen Haihua to show up in person.
If North Name Corporation blacklisted them and made it difficult for them to make a living in River City, Ye Chen and her would no longer be able to survive here.
As everyone engaged themselves in an unspoken understanding, Shen Haihua shot past He Qian and went directly for Ye Chen. His usually austere face was now laden with smiles. He said respectfully to Ye Chen, “Mister Ye, I’ve found you at last. If you’re still in hiding, I’ll probably be dead.”
Shen Haihua’s every word sent everyone into a kind of absolute silence until the sound of a falling needle could be easily heard!
Everyone’s eyes bulged.
Shen Haihua actually used a low and submissive tone to speak!
He sounded like he was attempting to flatter Ye Chen!
Moreover, he used an honorific!
Mister Ye!
You?1?!
Why would a bigshot like Shen Haihua speak in such a submissive way to a young man?
Moreover, Shen Haihua had been looking all over for Ye Chen? He would die if he could not find Ye Chen? Was it not too much of an exaggeration?
Gulp!
The scenario hit Sun Yi hard. She stood next to Ye Chen with a face full of horror. Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, she remained stunned on the spot.
Sun Yi’s eyes were glued at Ye Chen. She could not believe all of this was happening!
Did he not travel to River City only recently? How did he get to know influential people like Shen Haihua?
Another crucial detail was that Ye Chen could make Shen Haihua speak in such a submissive manner!
At this moment, she felt a layer of fog enshrouding Ye Chen, preventing her from seeing him for who he really was.
He Qian backed away involuntarily. She rubbed her eyes and wondered if she saw everything in the wrong way.
Yet, reality gave He Qian a cold hard slap! ‘Why would this fella know Shen Haihua? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!’
Everyone waited for Ye Chen’s response—it was the only thing that could explain everything!
A few seconds passed, then Ye Chen looked at Shen Haihua and said, “I gave you, the Shen family, a chance. You didn’t appreciate it!”
Shen Haihua did not expect Ye Chen to be as difficult to persuade. Tentatively, he said, “It’s my fault for not teaching my children well, Mister Ye. Today, I’ll make my embarrassing excuse of a son apologize to you!”
After saying that, Shen Haihua spun around and shouted to the man sulking in the corner, “Menglong! Get your ass over here and apologize to Mister Ye!”
...
Although extremely embarrassed, Shen Menglong shuffled out from the corner he was hiding in when he heard his father’s bark. He stood in front of Ye Chen with his head bowed. He did not say anything.
“What are you waiting for? Kneel in front of Mister Ye and apologize!”
Shen Menglong clenched his fists. Rage was burning in his heart, but he went down on his knees with a plop eventually!
“Mister Ye, I was wrong that day. Please forgive me!”
He had no choice but to kneel. If he refused, death would be inevitable!
Some distance away, Zhao Jun watched Shen Menglong kneel in utter shock.
He knew very well what kind of personality Shen Menglong had because they grew up together!
Shen Menglong would never bow his head to anyone, and he would never kneel before someone!
However, how could Zhao Jun explain what was going on before his eyes right now?
His eyes slowly shifted toward Ye Chen. He felt an impending sense of doom.
Zhao Jun was afraid that he went overboard with his pretentiousness and offended someone important!
...
Could it be that the fella came from Jiangnan Province? Or was he from a bigger family?
If that was the case, he was as good as dead!
Zhao Jun’s thoughts sent his knees shaking.
Meanwhile, as the main lead in the whole incident, Ye Chen swept his eyes coldly over the kneeling Shen Menglong and ignored him. He patted the dumbstruck Sun Yi and said, “Let’s go. The second floor is the female clothing department. Let’s pick something for you too. Today, I have money to spend!”
With that, he left Shen Menglong and Shen Haihua where they stood and led Sun Yi away.
The store manager could not process what had just happened. She had met countless arrogant people in her life, but as of this moment, none of them could compete against this man!
Who the hell did he think he was?
Of all the people she knew, she could not think of someone more aggressive than Shen Haihua.
After Ye Chen left, Shen Haihua recollected himself. With a dark expression, he landed a kick on his son’s body.
“Look at what you did! If we can’t get Mister Ye to agree today, you’ll never have to get up again.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Jun and barked, “Zhao Jun, did you offend Mister Ye just now? Don’t you dare think that I don’t know anything about what you and your dad did in the past! You’ll pack up your things and get lost today! And your dad, Zhao Deming! Even if I die, I won’t allow you two to get any shares of the company! Get lost!”
When it seemed like Shen Haihua had finished venting, he took a few deep breaths and hurried after Ye Chen.
Everyone started to follow. Shen Haihua simply told everyone off. “Don’t even think about following me, all of you useless piece of sh*t!”
