Chapter 598: More Than Meets the Eye

"I will say it again, the company is not mine, and it has nothing to do with me." The person in front of him was Yun Zhe Hao, which was why he offered an explanation.

Just a moment ago, when others spoke like that, he would simply walk away with a cold face, ignoring them entirely.

Yun Zhe Hao: "I'm just joking with you. Do you take me for as stupid as the others? I can see even that much."

"But Hanyu, you should also talk to your father. It's fine to set up a company to play around with when he's bored, but don't take it too seriously. This scene... don't let it cause you trouble later."

Although the people Sheng Jiang invited were all very polite to him on the surface, it was clear they were not there for his sake.

Ninety-nine percent of the guests who came today only showed up because of Sheng Hanyu, and people also assumed that Sheng Hanyu intended to enter the financial industry, with Sheng Jiang merely acting as a puppet at the front.

If he were to enter finance, he would have the right timing, the right location, and the right people on his side!

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Sheng Hanyu's wife is Shi Youxuan is reason enough.

But even if others thought so, they wouldn't say it directly.

Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Hanyu are childhood friends, very good friends, which is why he would say these things to him.

But he still couldn't be too direct; after all, Sheng Jiang is an elder, and one must still give an elder face.

Besides, Sheng Hanyu is no fool. Dealing with smart people has this advantage: there is no need to spell things out, and he can understand.

"Mm, I know."

On the other side.

It was much the same scene.

Jian Yixin said to Shi Youxuan: "This is probably the first time in your father-in-law's life he has had such a highlight moment, but he is happy now, and you must be careful that he doesn't cause you trouble later."

"It's fine, if there's trouble, I'll just solve it for him when the time comes. It's rare for my father-in-law to be this happy, so let him keep enjoying it."

Shi Youxuan didn't pay much attention, nor did she take Jian Yixin's words to heart.

She is different from them.

Shi Youxuan is a genius-type investor with exceptional talent; she has her own way of making money, which is different from everyone else.

Although she holds the title of Chairman, she has basically never personally participated in company management and does not really understand the ins and outs of it.

But Jian Yixin is different; she knows.

Seeing that Shi Youxuan didn't care, she patiently explained to her: "Xuanxuan, you are taking things too simply. I am worried that if your father-in-law uses your names and something goes wrong, the other party will blame you. It's not just a matter of funds; this also involves the issue of company reputation..."

Only then did Shi Youxuan realize the severity of the matter.

We live in a society of reputation now; from individuals to large companies, everyone must put reputation first.

If reputation is damaged, the loss to the company is incalculable!

Shi Youxuan realized it, but Jian Yixin's good intentions were misunderstood by Wang Yinghao.

"Xuanxuan, come here."

Her mother-in-law's expression was unkind as she pulled Shi Youxuan over and whispered: "Don't listen to Jian Yixin's nonsense. Your father-in-law is not a bad person; he wouldn't cheat Hanyu. That is his son, after all."

Shi Youxuan:...

"Mom, you misunderstood. Yixin didn't mean it that way."

"What do you mean she didn't mean it that way? Don't be foolish and fall for her tricks. She is just like her mother, neither of them has good intentions..."

"Xuanxuan, don't forget the pain once the wound has healed. Don't forget how she treated you years ago!"

Wang Yinghao was furious. A person who was usually broad-minded actually dug up past events from years ago, attempting to persuade her daughter-in-law.

This couldn't be blamed on her either.

When the height at which one stands is different, what one sees will be biased.

The things Jian Yixin mentioned were invisible to Shi Youxuan when not reminded, but she could understand once reminded.

For the same matter, not to mention a reminder, even if one were to break it down and explain it to Wang Yinghao, she still wouldn't understand!

These matters were beyond her scope.

She currently believed that Jian Yixin was inciting discord in their family, acting just like her mother, unable to bear seeing others do well.

For the rest of the time, Wang Yinghao kept a close eye on her daughter-in-law, strictly guarding against her talking to Jian Yixin.

Whenever the two of them got even slightly close, she would immediately call Shi Youxuan away.

To go and exchange pleasantries with the ladies and wives she deemed respectable.

The reception finally ended.

Shi Youxuan thought her father-in-law would settle down, but she had underestimated Sheng Jiang's "ambition."

The reception was over, but the grand opening celebration was to last for three days!

"What? A three-day grand celebration!" Shi Youxuan objected: "Dad, you are opening a company, not an emperor ascending the throne. There's no need for such a grand display, right?"

Sheng Hanyu echoed his wife's words: "I also object. I already felt today was too extravagant. Cancel the activities for tomorrow and the day after; don't do these useless things."

Sheng Jiang had been full of excitement, but seeing his son and daughter-in-law both oppose him, his face immediately fell.

It wasn't just that he looked dejected; his eyes actually turned red and the corners of his mouth drooped. If nothing were done now, the old man could cry in the next second.

Wang Yinghao was unhappy and stood firmly by her husband: "I support you. At your age, you want to do something, and you still have to look at the children's faces? Whether they come tomorrow or not, I'm going anyway."

"Mm."

The old couple was quite united.

Before Shi Youxuan could say anything, Sheng Hanyu stood up, ready to go upstairs to his room. Before leaving, he threw down a stiff sentence: "I don't care what you want to do, but don't use my and Xuanxuan's names to mess around."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who wants to use your name to mess around? Who is messing around..."

It was Wang Yingzhi who flared up; this was also the first time in so many years that there had been unpleasantness between mother and son.

Sheng Hanyu went upstairs and soon came back down, dressed neatly. His mother was still "sobbing" in the living room, and his wife was comforting her.

He left with a cold face and slammed the front door shut with a loud "Bang!" to show his dissatisfaction.

Sheng Jiang looked sheepish, wanting to go and bring his son back.

Wang Yinghao would not allow it, and she told her husband to pack his luggage so the two of them could move house immediately.

"Where are we moving to? At least give us a few days to find a place; don't be so impatient, how can a home just be moved like that?" Sheng Jiang was unwilling; he did not want to move.

Shi Youxuan was actually quite happy to see that her father-in-law did not want to move.

Although her mother-in-law usually appeared very gentle, if she became stubborn, only her unreliable father-in-law could persuade her.

"Right, Dad is right. Mom, please don't be angry; it is all Hanyu's fault, please don't lower yourself to his level..."

Shi Ran and Sheng Zichen each stood on one side of their grandmother, joining their mother in trying to persuade her.

Shi Ran: "Where are you moving to? Is the place big enough? Zichen and I both need our own separate rooms. Mom and Dad are easy; one room is enough for them. Also, it can't be too far from school, and it needs to be close to the market and supermarket so it's convenient for you to buy groceries..."

Wang Yinghao could disregard her daughter-in-law's feelings, but looking at her clever and mischievous granddaughter, the anger in her heart invisibly diminished by half.

She stroked Shi Ran's head and scolded her with a smile: "You little imp, I'm moving precisely so I don't have to wait on you all anymore. If you all follow me, then what would be the point of me moving?"

"Then we won't move. Grandpa, you go back to your own business; there's no need to look for a house."

Wang Yinghao:...

One word from Shi Ran was more effective than a hundred from Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Zichen: "Grandma hug, Baobao wants to sleep-sleep."

The little one's method was simple and crude; once he hugged her, he wouldn't let go.
