Chapter 98: A Shocking Turn of Events

Yingzi said expressionlessly, "Oh, I was just busy talking earlier and didn't have time to introduce myself."

She didn't pay any attention to that man, but instead faced everyone and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ying Zi, and I am the Chairman of Tianma Group. I am very happy that you could all attend this gala today, and I hope you have a pleasant and unforgettable evening here!"

Whether it was pleasant or not, one couldn't say, but it was certainly unforgettable!

In this instant, the air went quiet again.

Sheng Hai had just arrived, and before he could even warn his son, he also froze; there was no need for a warning anymore, the thing he feared most had already happened!

After a brief silence.

"Hello, hello, I am the General Manager of Sun-Never-Sets Company. I have long heard of your great name; hearing of you a hundred times is not as good as seeing you once. I never imagined you would be so young and beautiful..."

The flattery was a bit excessive.

But this was the first one, and it was definitely not the last!

Before he could finish, the people behind him squeezed him to the side, and those behind also greeted her with smiles, fawningly: "Hello, Chairman Ying, I am the Chairman of Tianyu Company. May we step aside to talk?"

Yingzi was just about to refuse when that person was squeezed aside by others.

People scrambled to squeeze forward, all wanting to get on good terms with Yingzi so that she would have an impression of them.

The little trick Yingzi had just pulled was the best self-introduction; there was no need to say more. Now, in the eyes of these people, she was a cash cow, and they all wished they could immediately snatch her back to their own homes!

Sheng Hanyu was ignored, and even pushed outside the circle by the people.

The two had just entered together, but in just over ten minutes, their treatment was like heaven and earth.

He didn't care at all, took a glass of red wine from a tray held by a Servant, and took a light sip.

Sheng Yukai was anxious, both anxious and regretful; he stomped his feet in regret.

That woman was actually Ying Zi!

Now it was over; he had just obtained the Sheng Family only to set up such a powerful enemy for himself. He had long heard of Ying Zi's capabilities, and having seen them with his own eyes just now, if she really wanted to be an enemy of the Sheng Family, then things were truly looking grim.

Sheng Yukai gritted his teeth, prepared to throw away his pride and go apologize to Ying Zi!

Apologize first and then curry favor; although the process would certainly be tortuous, the plan could not change.

He was just about to squeeze into the crowd when he was pulled back by his father.

Sheng Hai gave his son a look, and Sheng Yukai understood immediately.

He walked toward Sheng Hanyu, his attitude sincere and his expression pleasant: "Big brother, are you still angry with me?"

Sheng Hanyu sneered: "Chairman Sheng's memory isn't very good; I only have one younger brother, and it isn't you."

He never left anyone any face when he retorted; Sheng Yukai knew this.

If it weren't for the questions in his heart that he urgently needed to clear up, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to seek discomfort.

Sheng Yukai laughed dryly and continued: "Big brother, the press conference was just a formality, don't take it seriously. Can blood ties be broken just like that? You are my big brother after all; even if you break the bone, the tendons are still connected..."

The reason Sheng Yukai suddenly changed his attitude was because he felt that Sheng Hanyu might be the mysterious Chairman behind Dingsheng Group!

Ying Zi was the Chairman of Tianma, her partner was Jian Yining, and Jian Yining had always had a particularly good relationship with Sheng Hanyu. Today was also a gala jointly held by Dingsheng and Tianma... Sheng Yukai was not stupid; after a slight reminder from his father, he immediately turned the corner!

"Yo, what are you talking about that's so lively?" said Jian Yining.

He didn't know when he had arrived, and he wasn't alone; standing beside him were Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong, the three of them together.

Sheng Hanyu said: "You came just in time; I'm going over there to have some peace and quiet."

He walked toward the direction of the ceremonial stage alone.

Seeing his own younger brother arrive, Sheng Yukai was overjoyed.

His brother must know the trickery inside; asking Sheng Zerong was better than asking anyone else.

"Ze Rong, let's step aside to talk."

He dragged Sheng Zerong to a place with fewer people, and Sheng Hai and Bai Xue also gathered around. The family of four was gathered, talking about the same thing, but not with the same intentions.

Sheng Yukai said urgently: "Ze Rong, tell me the truth, does Sheng Hanyu have any connection to Dingsheng Group?"

Sheng Zerong nodded: "There is a connection."

All three gasped, looking at each other, their eyes full of despair!

It was over; Sheng Hanyu had a connection to Dingsheng Group.

They automatically linked "having a connection" with "being the founder," although that was indeed how things were.

Sheng Yukai's heart turned completely cold.

At first, he thought the reason Dingsheng Group chose this name was because the founder's surname was Sheng, and he had even entertained thoughts of fawning over them and getting on good terms.

Strong alliances, after all; both were surnamed Sheng, and one stroke cannot write two "Sheng" characters.

But he never dreamed that the Chairman of Dingsheng would be Sheng Hanyu, and now he also understood the meaning of the name Dingsheng.

It didn't mean top-tier prosperity, but rather replacing the Sheng Family!

"Chairman Sheng, your complexion doesn't look very good, are you alright? Do you need me to help you call 120?" Sheng Zerong's words interrupted Sheng Yukai's train of thought.

He came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed Sheng Zerong's hand: "Third brother, you and I are born of the same mother; you cannot turn your elbow outward and help others deal with your own older brother..."

Bai Xue and Sheng Hai spoke in the same tone, insisting that Sheng Zerong must help his second brother and not side with outsiders to deal with his own people!

Sheng Zerong now saw clearly what kind of people his parents and second brother were; what "own people," what "outsiders."

For them, interests were what made someone "own people," and family affection was simply not worth mentioning in the face of interests.

He coldly reminded them: "I have already severed ties with you all. Big brother is the only one who is my own person now; I can tell the difference."

Sheng Zerong was impervious to soft or hard tactics. Sheng Yukai thought he didn't know what was good for him, but at this time, he couldn't afford to burn bridges when he needed the person, so he still had to persuade him with kind words.

He "earnestly" tried to build a relationship and get on good terms, using every possible method to ensure Sheng Zerong would speak well of them in front of his big brother and not let him take action against the Sheng Family...

At this moment, Yun Zhe Hao came over and patted Sheng Zerong on the shoulder: "General Manager Sheng, the gala is about to start; as the master of Dingsheng, why haven't you taken your place, and what are you chatting about here?"

Master of Dingsheng?

General Manager Sheng?

Yun Zhe Hao's form of address for Sheng Zerong left the three of them shocked to the core, and for a moment, they couldn't wrap their heads around it.

Taking advantage of their daze, Yun Zhe Hao quickly dragged Sheng Zerong away.

The family of three was first shocked, and then, in an instant, pleasantly surprised.

Sheng Yukai assumed that Dingsheng was founded by Sheng Zerong and immediately prepared to go and build a rapport with his younger brother, but he was stopped at the door; the bodyguards would not let him in.

He tried every nice word he could think of, but it didn't work, and he didn't dare to use force.

His younger brother was not the person he used to be, so he couldn't treat him with that same old attitude anymore!

Just as he was at his wit's end, Jian Yining and Sheng Hanyu also walked over in this direction.

The bodyguards opened the door to invite the two of them in, and Sheng Hanyu glanced at him, asking the bodyguards in a cold voice: "Why is he here? Drive him away."

"Yes..."

The bodyguard had only managed to say one word in response when Sheng Yukai flew into a rage.

He retorted: "Why can't I be here? Are you afraid? My younger brother is the Dingsheng Chairman; even if you have some shares in Dingsheng, you still have to listen to my brother. Zerong is my own flesh and blood, we are born of the same mother; your attempts to sow discord are useless, he will kick you out sooner or later..."

Everyone who heard this string of words felt completely bewildered.

The bodyguard was just about to speak, but then he caught a look from Sheng Hanyu signaling him to stop, so he didn't say anything at all.

Sheng Hanyu didn't say a word either; he just had someone open the door and went inside himself.
