Chapter 856: Besides me, could there be anyone else?

"How can you speak so unpleasantly!" Su Zheyuan's big aunt couldn't help but stand up indignantly upon hearing Shen Ci's words.

"This is already considered unpleasant to hear?" Shen Ci sneered, her eyes sweeping over the few people, carrying undisguised contempt, "I haven't even complained that your eating manners are ugly!"

She changed the subject, her tone suddenly slowing down, but carrying a bit of malicious probing: "But it doesn't matter. The shares are yours; you can sell them if you want, and if you don't want to, no one can snatch them away."

"However—" Shen Ci deliberately lengthened her tone, dragging it out, making people feel panicked. She paused and continued in a ghostly tone, "You should know better than anyone in your hearts what kind of situation the Su Group will face in the future if the current predicament cannot be solved."

She raised her hand and patted her chest: "Personally, if I hadn't bumped into this scene today, for Zheyuan's sake, I could have completely not urged the repayment of the ten thousand I lent to your group indefinitely."

"But it just so happens that it's not a coincidence; I saw your ugly faces with my own eyes. Then I have to ask for this money back. The funds you have in a joint venture with foreign companies must be more than just this ten thousand, right? Now that it's all gone down the drain, you still have to pay me back an extra ten thousand—this is a huge loss!"

The hole in the Su Group was big enough to trap everyone present.

As soon as Shen Ci mentioned this, everyone's hearts tightened together. So much money, even if thrown into the water, it would make a sound. Now, it's good; they didn't hear a fart and it was all gone.

"So, you just said it too. If you hold onto the shares and insist on being tied to the same boat as Zheyuan, then falling into the sea is only a matter of time. And the longer you drag it out, the less valuable the shares in your hands will be."

"Zheyuan, do you mean the same thing?" The second uncle looked at Su Zheyuan again, asking him in a tone that was almost an interrogation.

But Su Zheyuan was completely disheartened by these so-called relatives at this time.

He was expressionless, his tone as calm as a pool of stagnant water: "Second Uncle, from beginning to end, I haven't said a word. Asking me to dilute my shares or asking me to acquire your shares is all your own idea, Second Uncle."

"Good, good, good!"

The second uncle said three "good" words heavily, each word as if squeezed out from between his teeth. He nodded feigning a cold heart, his eyes gloomy: "Very good!"

He turned to look at the other directors, passing a signal with his eyes and tone: "Since Zheyuan has the ability and capability to acquire our shares, then we will sell them to him! From now on, the Su Group will fall into his hands alone. Whether it lives or dies in the future will have nothing to do with us!"

After saying this, the second uncle stood up abruptly, his face covered in frost, and without a word, turned and walked toward the conference room door.

Seeing this, the others also stood up one after another, following behind the second uncle and filing out. A tense, palace-forcing drama seemed to have been settled hastily just like that.

"Zheyuan."

The little aunt was the last to stand up. She walked quickly to Su Zheyuan's side, her eyes full of concern, and said softly: "They are muddled, blinded by profit. This major crisis of the group is not your responsibility alone at all. You must not have too heavy a psychological burden."

"Thank you, Little Aunt, for still being willing to believe in me." Su Zheyuan nodded movingly, because with Little Aunt there, he wasn't left isolated and helpless today.

"But the matter of acquiring shares..." The little aunt shook her head lightly, her tone full of worry, sincerely persuading, "This is not a child's play, just forget it. Where are you going to get so much money?"

The shares in the hands of those few people added up to a full fifty percent. To acquire so many shares, the funds required were simply an astronomical figure!

Even if Su Zheyuan really managed to scrape together the money and succeeded in the acquisition, what about afterward? The group's huge hole was still there, the fundamental predicament could not be solved, and the Su family would eventually head toward destruction. ===== CHAPTER 857 =====
