After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 7 The Sharp-Tongued CEO

In just two days after transmigrating into Shen Yanzhi's phone, Chi Yu had roughly figured out his daily routine.

Despite being a young CEO in his twenties, he leads a quiet and disciplined life like a ninety-year-old man.

I get up on time every day to go to work, and the first thing I do when I get home in the evening is to exercise. Then I go to bed before 10 o'clock every night. I rarely socialize and never drink alcohol.

Chi Yu had various part-time jobs during his lifetime and had been a frequent night owl since high school.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi's regular life these past two days has been like opening a door to another world for her.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen is working inside. You cannot enter without an appointment!"

"What's wrong?! Can't I even come into my own company?!"

A sudden commotion outside caught Chi Yu's attention.

She lay on her phone and realized the sound was coming from outside the office.

The sound of hurried footsteps grew closer.

Within two minutes, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and a large group of people walked in.

Chi Yu turned on the panoramic camera.

Surrounded in the middle were two older men, one of whom looked to be over fifty with graying temples, while the other was younger.

However, both of them had long faces and looked menacing, clearly indicating that they had come with ill intentions.

Behind them were several young men in suits, as well as Assistant Chen, who tried to stop them but failed.

Assistant Chen glanced at Shen Yanzhi with some apology.

Shen Yanzhi stood up without any expression and greeted the two men: "Uncle, Third Uncle."

“Nephew, it’s really not easy to see you these days,” said Shen Hongguo, the eldest uncle of the Shen family.

Uncle Shen Yuanzhong also said sarcastically, "Nephew, you should control these dogs around you. They have absolutely no manners. We wanted to come up and have tea with you, but we were given all sorts of excuses!"

Chi Yu suddenly realized that the two people who came in were Shen Yanzhi's cousins.

However, judging from their entrance and tone of voice, it's clear that their relationship with Shen Yanzhi isn't very good.

“If Uncle and Third Uncle are just conducting a normal company inspection, no one will stop you. You don’t need to worry about my people.” Shen Yanzhi remained calm and unaffected by Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong’s words.

He even calmly said to Assistant Chen, "My eldest uncle and third uncle are both short-tempered. Go and pour them two cups of bitter tea to cool them down."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Assistant Chen immediately turned and left.

Chi Yu was stunned by Shen Yanzhi's direct confrontation with his elders.

Given the way Uncle Shen and Third Uncle Shen abused their power and acted like elders, there's really no need to show them excessive respect.

A calm retort is just as effective as a furious outburst!
They don't hold grudges overnight, applause!

Chi Yu watched the show silently on her phone.

She was satisfied, but Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong were furious.

"Nephew, what do you mean by that?!" Shen Yuanzhong, who had a short temper, said angrily.

“It’s nothing.” Shen Yanzhi sat back down in his chair. Even though he was sitting while Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong were standing, he didn’t have the upper hand at all. Instead, it looked more like a boss giving a lecture: “If Uncle and Third Uncle don’t want to drink tea, you can leave now. I still have a lot of work to finish, so I won’t keep you two.”

Shen Hongguo frowned almost imperceptibly and sat down on the sofa. Shen Yuanzhong was speechless with anger at Shen Yanzhi's words, his anger reaching its peak.

What he hated most was his eldest nephew, who always had a cold face and whose words were always sarcastic and cutting.

But the old man was biased and favored Shen Yanzhi. He even bypassed him and his elder brother, passing the company on to Shen Yanzhi, skipping over the previous generation.

Shen Yuanzhong felt no joy or kindness from an elder looking at a younger generation towards his nephew; only resentment that his path to wealth and success had been blocked.

Hearing Shen Yanzhi's words, Shen Yuanzhong sneered: "This is our Shen family's company, not yours alone, Shen Yanzhi! What, we don't even have the right to come and take a look at the company?!"

He was somewhat unwilling: "The old man should really see your cold-blooded behavior of disrespecting your elders!"

Even if it were his own father, Shen Yuanzhong would still say: "The old man is simply blind to have such a good eye!"
Shen Yanzhi casually replied, "Please go ahead, Third Uncle."

Seeing his seemingly invulnerable appearance, Shen Yuanzhong was so angry that he suffered internal injuries. The enemy suffered 0 damage, while he himself suffered over 10000 internal injuries.

Chi Yu secretly grinned on her phone.

Just then, Assistant Chen returned with two cups of bitter tea, placing one in front of each of them.

Looking at the two cups of cold, brown tea that were completely still, Shen Yuanzhong's already not-so-handsome face instantly darkened even more.

Shen Hongguo watched the two arguing, pushed aside the unsightly cup of cold tea, and spoke up like a peacemaker: "Nephew, we've come all this way to the company, not to argue with you. Your third uncle has a quick temper and speaks his mind, and that's nothing new. Please bear with him."

Chi Yu was utterly astonished upon hearing this.

This Uncle Shen looks to be at least forty years old, and he's Shen Yanzhi's biological uncle.

They barged into Shen Yanzhi's office and made a scene, but in the end it was Shen Yanzhi's fault.

As expected, a dog that bites doesn't bark.

Uncle Shen may seem like a kind old man, but he's actually much more cunning than Uncle Shen.

Shen Yanzhi said calmly, "I've only ever heard of elders being more tolerant of younger generations, never of younger generations being expected to take on elders. If Uncle San is willing to be my nephew, that's not impossible."

Chi Yu: ...Pfft.

Shen Hongguo's face darkened.

Shen Yuanzhong was so angry that he stood up from the sofa, pointed at Shen Yanzhi and shouted: "Shen Yanzhi, don't push your luck! Do you really think you're so capable! You failed to win the bid for such a good project in Huai City, and the old man already knows about it! If you can't manage our Shen family's company, you should step down as soon as possible!"

Shen Yanzhi looked at the two men with a sharp gaze: "So, Uncle and Third Uncle came here today to interrogate me?"

“You can’t say that. We’re also concerned about the company’s development,” Shen Hongguo chimed in.

Shen Yuanzhong, however, was getting impatient and questioned, "Your people couldn't compete for the Huai City project and it was snatched away by the Su family, which is your own fault for being incompetent. The Guangcheng project was supposed to be managed by Huang Sheng, but now you've removed Huang Sheng from his position and replaced him with your people. What's going on?"

Shen Yanzhi calmly asked, "Who is Huang Sheng?"

Shen Yuanzhong thought he was pretending to be stupid and said angrily, "Your man, Qin Nan, immediately replaced Huang Sheng after returning from Huai City! If I were you, I would have fired him on the spot if he couldn't even hold onto such a good bidding project!"

At this moment, a young man who had been standing behind Shen Yuanzhong also stepped forward and spoke to Shen Yanzhi with a somewhat arrogant expression: "President Shen, I am Huang Sheng. I was in charge of the Guangcheng project before, and now everything is ready and construction is about to begin. However, you inexplicably removed me from my position yesterday and let Qin Nan take over."

Huang Sheng clenched his fists, looking indignant: "This isn't the way to boost your people's reputation!"

Shen Yanzhi glanced at him, then suddenly remembered something and said knowingly, "Oh, you're that useless nephew from my third uncle's family."
