Main Character:

Shen Yao

"Grandmother, please take care of yourself. I'll come back to visit you another day."

After Shen Yao finished speaking, she waved her hand, turned around, and left, her carefree posture not taking away a single cloud.

Li Shuli: ……

Li Shuli's chest heaved violently, especially since she was infuriated by Shen Yao's words to the point of being unable to bear it.

Unexpected, truly unexpected — at her advanced age, she was actually played by a junior!

Zhou Min Hui and Qin Kelan were also dumbfounded. The two of them weren't unaware of Shen Yao's purpose for returning, but what they didn't expect was that their own mother actually had no way to deal with her daughter-in-law/niece-in-law.

This this this, this is simply a fantasy — who doesn't know Mother is a ruthless character.

Zhou Min Hui covered her mouth tightly, watching Shen Yao's figure disappear from the doorway, then turned her head to look at Li Shuli on the chair.

Qin Kelan had already opened her mouth to shift the blame onto Shen Yao, including but not limited to Shen Yao knowing no etiquette, having no upbringing, not knowing how to yield to the elderly…… anyway, she spoke however harshly she could.

Zhou Min Hui felt Qin Kelan was going too far. Shen Yao was, after all, Jing Run's wife, and moreover the daughter-in-law she herself had approved. Qin Kelan was merely a cousin's wife from a separate branch — what reason did she have to comment on their family's affairs.

"Younger Sister-in-law, your words are a bit excessive. Where is Yao Yao impolite? She already greeted Mother. Besides, Mother hasn't said anything yet — you're this agitated, could it be you want to vent your anger over Second Brother's matter onto Yao Yao?"

Zhou Min Hui's tongue was also quite sharp; at the very least, Qin Kelan was no match for her.

Qin Kelan glared at Zhou Min Hui with a face full of resentment.

Zhou Min Hui puffed out her chest and lifted her head, completely unbothered by those flying dagger-like gazes.

Qin Kelan: ……

"Alright, stop quarreling!"

Li Shuli stood up, interrupting the two's conversation while also chasing them away.

【22】 "My body is heavy; I need to rest. If you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel."

"My body is Heavy, I need to rest; if you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel."

With an indifferent expression, she rose from the chair, and Li Shuli walked past the two into the bedroom.

Seeing this, Zhou Min Hui and Qin Kelan instantly lost interest in quarreling, each letting out a cold huff, and they went their separate ways.

Shen Yao, who had already left the old house, was at this moment driving back with Gu Jingrun.

Hand resting on the front passenger's window frame, Shen Yao reached out to touch the strands of hair blown up by the wind, her eyes narrowing comfortably.

"You look like you're in a good mood. Grandmother didn't put any pressure on you?"

Gu Jingrun teased Shen Yao while driving, recalling Li Shuli's domineering nature in his heart.

"Grandmother's pressure isn't small, but I also don't want to be scolded for no reason."

The relationship between her and Li Shuli existed only because of Gu Jingrun.

This wasn't like Li Shuli, who could scold Gu Mengyan and the other children without any scruples. If Shen Yao really didn't give face, Li Shuli had absolutely no way to deal with her.

"Second Uncle's matter wasn't caused by me. The bank debt was still me reaching out to help.

Now Grandmother and Second Aunt are angry at me for going too far — isn't that actually complaining that Second Uncle handled things poorly?"

Without Gu Mengqing's cause, how could there be Shen Yao's effect? Cause and effect cannot be reversed.

Hearing Shen Yao's righteous and stern words, Gu Jingrun laughed even louder.

In the enclosed space, a familiar phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Shen Yao reached out to unlock Gu Jingrun's phone for him, and unsurprisingly saw Zhou Min Hui's name.

She raised an eyebrow, answered the call for Gu Jingrun, and put it to his ear.

"Mother"

"Jing Run ah, where are you and Yao Yao? Today's matter has nothing to do with you two.

Tell Yao Yao not to take those words to heart. Old people are advanced in years; handling matters is inevitably muddle-headed……"

Zhou Min Hui's voice traveled through the receiver, smoothly entering both their ears.

Today Shen Yao returned to the Gu Family, mainly because Li Shuli wanted to regain face for the Second Son.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao didn't even give the old person face — she said she'd flip the table and flipped it.

With the mindset of a daughter-in-law long suppressed by her mother-in-law, Zhou Min Hui was actually quite willing to see Li Shuli eat a loss.

So after returning to her room and calming down as much as possible, Zhou Min Hui decisively made this call to Gu Jingrun.

The purpose? Mostly to watch the excitement, but also to convey a message to the two of them — that she and Gu Mengyan very much supported this.

Gu Jingrun gave noncommittal responses, and finally hung up the phone.

Shen Yao took the opportunity to put the phone down. "Looks like Mother hasn't been angry a few times at the old house recently."

Gu Mengyan and Gu Mengqing brothers contending, Zhou Min Hui and Qin Kelan naturally had a poor relationship.

Plus the existence of Li Shuli who favored Gu Mengqing, Zhou Min Hui was in a position of two fists against four hands.

"Indeed, Mother has married into the Gu Family for many years, and only fares well materially."

Actually, Gu Mengyan was estranged from the two elders, and by extension Zhou Min Hui's life had many difficulties.

Still, Zhou Min Hui herself was more capable, but these years down the line there were also many disappointments.

"As expected, Father doing this isn't without reason." A financial consortium rotten to the root can only be reborn by being placed in a death ground.

She shrugged her shoulders, and Shen Yao turned her head to admire the scenery flashing past outside the window.

The clamorous space turned quiet. Neither of the two spoke, until the road ahead became wide, and the sedan beneath them merged into it like a streak of flowing light.

……

Since the last time she was called back to the old house ended, Shen Yao temporarily hasn't received any new calls.

Every day she went to work and got off work normally, occasionally not forgetting to handle the merged assets and expand the company's existing scale; Shen Yao was busy to the point of sheer delight.

Until a piece of news was released with heavy impact: the Gu Group, glorious for several decades, announced its dissolution.

Shen Yao: ……?!!!

The first moment she heard the news, Shen Yao gave Gu Jingrun a call.

After the call connected, the two people looked at each other in silence; in the end it was still the knocking sound from outside the door that brought Shen Yao back to her senses.

"So this is what Father wanted to do?!"

She thought he would completely kick Gu Mengqing out and seize the entire Gu Group.

She didn't expect Gu Mengyan would actually split up and dissolve the massive Gu Group, breaking it into several pieces.

"Next the whole of H Country will tremble; seize the opportunity well."

What Gu Jingrun thought of was still Shen Yao; the time when the Gu Group was in chaos would give everyone an opportunity.

Like wolves, tigers, and leopards, the financial consortiums would swarm in and tear the Gu Group to shreds.

Who wouldn't want to eat this piece of fat meat delivered right to their mouth.

Something everyone can see clearly, Gu Mengyan who personally acted naturally understands.

However Gu Mengyan did not retreat; on the contrary he accelerated the pace of the Gu Group's dismemberment.

Gu Electronics, Gu Real Estate, Gu Medical — among them Gu Medical was thrown out as bait, and everyone scrambled to grab it.

Among them the most ruthless was the Zhou Clan; although they were sliced in turn by the presidential cabinets pushed out by certain financial consortiums, a dead camel is bigger than a horse — the Zhou Clan still had deep foundations and grabbed the most fat meat.

Besides the Zhou Clan, there was also Shen Yao's Perfect Company, including the Qin Clan held in Gu Jingzhe's hands, etc.

Gu Medical was thrown out; those who didn't want it are all saints and bodhisattvas.

Company office

Shen Yao could no longer remember exactly how many documents and contracts she had signed.

Anyway during these days she basically hadn't rested at all, busy back and forth; even the three kids at home were all taken care of by Gu Jingrun.

As for why Gu Jingrun didn't take the chance to bite a piece off? He could barely keep the few companies in his own hands — that was already a stroke of luck; where would he still dare to covet other benefits.

Regarding this, Shen Yao could only express regret; it wasn't that Shen Yao wouldn't help, but facing this situation, Shen Yao couldn't get too entangled with Gu Jingrun.

Although they are husband and wife, they are also two people, each possessing different careers.

Occasionally cooperating on business-related matters is fine, but being closely intertwined and inseparable definitely won't work.

"Talking money hurts feelings, talking feelings hurts money." Shen Yao neither wanted to hurt feelings nor hurt money; what she could do seemed to be only avoiding this one path.

The System summarized in one word: scum!

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao felt the System's words were really too unpleasant to hear; she wasn't scum at all.

The System exclaimed, "This is completely different from those stories I've seen."

Shen Yao rolled her eyes, "Normal business war; could there still be an IQ-lowering segment?"

The biggest IQ-lowering part is Gu Jingxing and Gu Jingzhi those two people falling because of personal private matters.

Speaking in detail, you can't entirely blame them either; who can speak clearly about feelings this kind of thing.

It's just that in the end nothing was covered up and everything was exposed, which led to Gu Mengyan's firm attitude to dismember the Gu Group.

Moreover the Gu Group's dismemberment, splitting into three, is merely letting the Gu Group fall from the number one position.

It doesn't have much impact on the Gu Family's daily lifestyle including their level of wealth.

"What a pity, what a pity. In the future when Xuan Yu and them grow up, they won't be able to inherit the Gu Group intact, but can only choose one of them; the choice scope has become much larger, but company assets have shrunk and single-line business affects development."

She smacked her lips, Shen Yao and the System sighed together, turned her head and once again busied herself with her own matters.

System: ……

The setting that the Host is very busy was already known when the System entered this world.

Maintaining the mysteriousness the System always has, the System observed the Host from a God's-eye view.

It seems its Host is constantly evolving and sprinting toward some unknown direction.

This is more beneficial than harmful to it; after all, the better the mission is completed, the more it harvests.

But if this continues long-term, will the Host give up the contract signed with it and choose to sign a new one with another system?!

Inexplicably a sense of crisis arose; the System immediately rummaged through the arrangements for the next world.

Hmph, looks like from now on I'll have to treat the Host a bit better, let the Host feel its concern, let their interests be bound even tighter.

The System's worry and lingering fear Shen Yao temporarily couldn't feel; she was currently integrating the company's existing resources.

During this period, every day Shen Yao opened her eyes and closed her eyes it was all kinds of mergers and acquisitions; the company's scale had expanded who knows how many times compared to before.

She should have found time long ago to reorganize properly, including determining the company's next development direction and the main fields to deeply cultivate in the future.

As a result things were dragged on and on, dragged until today before she had this inclination.

Huala la——

The moment paper and pen tip kept each other company, Shen Yao experienced the feeling of friction lightly brushing.

Documents were signed and organized; Shen Yao called her assistant and had them distribute them in turn.

"Also please ask each department head to go to the conference room for a meeting; have all relevant planning proposals ready."

Shen Yao stood up, rubbed her sore wrists, and decided to finish everything that needed doing in one sustained effort.

The Gu Group's dismemberment is about to reach its end; Perfect Company also needs to regroup and set sail anew.
