Chapter 99: A Huge Loss of Face

Jian Yining was puzzled, and he had to ask: "You just said Ze Rong is the Chairman of Dingsheng? Who did you hear that from? Such confidential matters are known by very few people; how do you know?"

Sheng Yukai thought he had discovered an incredible secret about Dingsheng, so naturally, he wanted to show off.

He lifted his chin arrogantly: "I can't tell you that. Of course, I have channels to find out. Don't think your internal affairs are so tight; as long as it's something I want to know, I will find out."

After saying this, he held his head high and chest out as he left.

Jian Yining was indeed a bit confused at first, but once the few of them put their heads together, they immediately knew what was going on.

Yun Zhehao hadn't expected that his casual remark would turn into "internal information" for Sheng Yukai to show off with; he immediately spat out all the tea he was drinking, nearly spraying it onto Jian Yining.

The group laughed uncontrollably, only the smile on Sheng Zerong's face was somewhat strained.

Sheng Hanyu considered his third brother's feelings and told the others to stop laughing; there was serious business to attend to!

……

The host stood on the stage and announced the official start of the gala.

First came an introduction to Dingsheng Group and Tianma Group; in truth, most of what he said was nonsense, as everyone present today already knew it, and some had even investigated it more than once.

However, not a single person showed any sign of impatience; everyone was craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for the true big BOSS of Dingsheng to appear!

The door behind the stage opened, and under the gaze of everyone, Sheng Hanyu and his party of five walked out and stood on the stage.

When everyone heard the host introduce: "Dingsheng Group Chairman, Sheng Hanyu...", the hall fell silent, with no sound other than the host's voice.

People were regretting it to death.

So Sheng Hanyu was the boss behind Dingsheng?

If they had known this earlier, how could they have skipped the Sheng Family Chairman's funeral just to curry favor with Sheng Yukai!

Hoping it wasn't too late to regret, even before the host finished the introduction, many people were already eager to try, preparing to rush up and curry favor with the Dingsheng boss at any moment.

As for Sheng Yukai's family of three, in a short span of time, they had experienced a psychological journey like a roller coaster: a great rise—a great fall—another great rise—and another great fall!

Sheng Hanyu is the Chairman.

Sheng Zerong is the General Manager.

That's right, the third brother is indeed in Dingsheng's management, but the biggest BOSS is still Sheng Hanyu. No wonder he was so dismissive of giving up the Sheng family assets; it turns out he had something bigger and better hidden away all along.

The family of three didn't wait for the host to finish the introduction before quietly leaving the hotel to go home!

……

In front of Sheng Hanyu Villa.

Various luxury cars came and went, invitations and gifts were delivered continuously; people arrived full of hope, yet all left in disappointment.

But no one complained, and there wasn't even an unhappy expression on anyone's face.

The housekeeper had already cleared out two spare rooms to store those gifts, but they were almost full again.

If this continued, I'm afraid clearing out two more rooms wouldn't be enough.

Yingzi stood by the window, glanced at Sheng Hanyu with great disdain, and protested: "You're going too far. Why are you staying here instead of going back to your own home? Even if you hide out here, those people won't let you go. Just watch, if they don't see you, they'll come back tomorrow, and the day after..."

She spoke with conviction, though she was full of talk about others, the reality was the same for her.

Ying Zi's new Apartment hadn't even been lived in for three days before it was discovered, and then it "fell."

People coming to curry favor and deliver gifts were endless; they sent everything, some even sent houses.

Ying Zi was so annoyed that she moved to Jian Yining Villa to find some peace and quiet, but she didn't expect to be a step late this time; the Villa had already been "occupied" by Sheng Hanyu.

Both of them had the same goal: to hide away and not be disturbed.

"You too." Sheng Hanyu, buried in his work at the computer, retorted.

It was his usual style, concise and to the point.

Yingzi rolled her eyes, then leaned over: "Hey, what are you doing? Still looking for the fool? Why don't you go find your beloved woman?"

Sheng Hanyu stopped what he was doing and moved the computer further away from her: "Mind your own business."

Yingzi's eyes were practically overflowing with gossip as she continued to press him: "Hey, don't be so stingy. At least we're in an alliance of offense and defense now, right? Two grasshoppers on the same rope. Tell me, it's boring to just sit here idle anyway..."

Sheng Hanyu suddenly pushed the computer in his hand forward, letting her see the content clearly: "Satisfied?"

There were over a dozen pages open on the web browser simultaneously: searching for Shi Youxuan, hiring private investigators to track down Jian Yixin's whereabouts, the cause of the previous Apartment fire, and investigating the physical condition of Sheng Laoyezi before his death...

With so many things going on at once, it didn't even delay him from working on the group's annual plan!

Yingzi widened her eyes in astonishment; it was true multitasking. With so many things happening at once, she couldn't have done it well herself.

However, while she admired him in her heart, she couldn't admit it out loud.

Yingzi was sharp-tongued: "You're really something, openly trying to stand on two boats at once. And even then, you haven't managed to step on either—one is hiding and won't see you, the other is a fool... Tsk tsk... You say, what kind of fate is this? Are you cursed to lose your wives?"

"Oh my, any woman around you ends up unlucky. If you're truly doing it for their own good, I think you'd better stop looking..." She racked her brains to obstruct Sheng Hanyu from continuing his search.

He was too smart, and his methods were more brilliant than she could have imagined.

If it weren't for the sudden accident with the old man that interrupted his search, Shi Youxuan felt she would have already been found by now.

"Shut up."

Yingzi had challenged his bottom line time and time again; he was reaching the end of his patience.

"You tell me to shut up and I will? I refuse..."

Yingzi was about to say more when her phone rang.

She took it out, saw it was a strange number, and decisively didn't answer!

She frowned and curled up on the sofa, hugging a cushion and pouting. Although there was no expression on her face, this look clearly showed she was angry.

Sheng Hanyu said: "That person looking for you again? Heh, don't laugh at others when you're no better."

"That person" referred to Sheng Yukai.

Ever since the identity of the Tianma Chairman was exposed, Yingzi had started to be harassed by Sheng Yukai in an all-encompassing, three-dimensional, 360-degree, no-dead-angle way!

Yingzi had never seen a man with thicker skin than Sheng Yukai.

At first, it was apologies.

After apologizing, he would send flowers—red roses, and he sent them three times a day!

He would specifically arrive at meal times, taking the opportunity to invite her to dinner while delivering the flowers.

If Yingzi refused, he would ask Yingzi to treat him to a meal; even if he was refused again, it didn't matter, he would still come the next day.

He didn't know what channel he used to get Yingzi's phone number, but after Yingzi refused to meet him, he would call her to harass her.

If she blocked one number, he would switch to another to call; once Yingzi heard Sheng Yukai's voice, she would hang up, and later she developed a conditioned reflex to not answer any unknown numbers, even giving up online shopping!

Sheng Hanyu mocked her, but Yingzi got an idea; she shoved her phone into Sheng Hanyu's hand: "Help me out, please, I'm begging you."

"Not my business."

Sheng Hanyu shoved the phone back.

It wasn't that he was petty and didn't want to help, but Sheng Yukai didn't just harass Yingzi alone; once he set his sights on someone, he was just like a leech sucking blood, refusing to let go!

Power off.

Now it was quiet.

The two of them hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief before the sound of a car horn came from the entrance!

"Oh no, he found his way here!"

Yingzi instinctively ran upstairs, throwing a sentence back at Sheng Hanyu: "You're a man, you deal with it."

However, the person who came didn't ring the doorbell, but instead used a key to open the front door and enter.

Jian Yining had arrived; it was a false alarm.

"Hey, why are you here too?"
