She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

At such a critical juncture, Zhang Yihong chose to withdraw his investment, which undoubtedly announced to the entire Chinese business community that neither Shen Pei'an's personal investment nor the Lin Group's project had any value. Who would dare to cooperate with the Lin Group in the future?

Shen Pei'an's hands trembled slightly, and his palms were sweating. He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down before speaking to his secretary.

"Please arrange a meeting with Zhang Yihong for me tomorrow. I want to see him in person."

“I have already spoken to Mr. Zhang about this,” the secretary said. “But he disagreed. He felt there was no need to meet with you again, Mr. Shen, and there would be no opportunity for cooperation in the future, so he rejected me outright.”

Shen Pei-an was furious and started cursing.

"Has he gone mad? Doesn't he know how much impact this will have on the Lin Group? Now he's withdrawing his investment just like that, what is he trying to do?"

"I went to inquire about it as soon as it happened," the secretary said cautiously.

"Rumor has it that Zhang Yihong has his eye on another project and is planning to invest in it, which is why he withdrew his investment from our project."

"That's utter nonsense!" Shen Pei'an exclaimed in anger and embarrassment.

“These investments are nothing to Zhang Yihong. Even if he sets his sights on a bigger project, he won’t be short of our money.”

There must be some unknown secret behind this, otherwise Zhang Yihong wouldn't have acted so suddenly.

"Go and contact all the company's shareholders and senior management. I'm holding a meeting tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Shen Pei'an hung up the phone and realized that his pajamas were almost completely soaked with cold sweat.

Now that he had calmed down, he thought about what his secretary had just told him, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that someone was trying to trip him up.

Over the years, many people have made enemies of Shen Pei'an, and anyone could secretly try to sabotage him.

But this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Those people couldn't stand up to Shen Pei'an, and even if something went wrong, Shen Pei'an would eventually take care of it.

This time, the attack came with great force, and Zhang Yihong was also involved. If it was not handled properly, it would be tantamount to sentencing Shen Pei'an to death.

"Working on the front lines of communication ensures future connections"—this saying has been widely circulated in the business world.

Even bankrupt business owners are treated with great respect by some people when they receive a loan.

After all, those who have climbed to the top are not weaklings with bluster. Such people will surely be able to make a comeback as long as they seize the right opportunity.

If the high-rise is rebuilt in the future, those who have humiliated and robbed me will inevitably be held accountable.

So even if two companies are at odds, and the bosses hate each other to the core, they wouldn't go to such extremes.

This time, however, it seems to be aimed at killing Shen Pei'an with the drugs.

If there's anyone who hates Shen Pei'an so much they wish he were dead, there's one: Lin Qingran.

A while ago, news came from Nancheng that Lin Qingran had actually caught several traitors in the factories, which surprised Shen Pei'an.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingran, at such a young age, was able to handle such a major change with composure, and even managed to uncover some of the truth.

Fortunately, Shen Pei'an was used to cleaning up his mess as he went along, so Lin Qingran didn't find too many traces of him.

So even though Lin Qingyuan knew perfectly well that Shen Pei'an was the one who did it, Lin Qingran couldn't do anything about it.

If Lin Qingran harbors resentment towards him because of this incident and wants to get rid of him quickly, that's quite possible.

However, Sheng Hai Group is, after all, a new enterprise. Although it has developed too fast and aroused jealousy, it has not yet gained a firm foothold in the industry.

Lin Qingran doesn't have the ability to persuade Zhang Yihong to withdraw his investment.

First, Zhang Yihong is not a person who hates evil as much as he thinks. Second, even if Zhang Yihong really felt sorry for her, it would only be if Lin Qingran told him all about the grievances between them.

Shen Pei'an didn't believe that someone like Zhang Yihong would be controlled by emotions, and that he would turn against him just to help Lin Qingran vent her anger.

The more Shen Pei'an thought about it, the more something seemed off, yet he couldn't quite make sense of it.

After thinking it over, Shen Pei'an dialed his secretary's number again.

"Go and contact a few people for me. Have them come to see me before the meeting tomorrow. This matter concerns the interests of all of us, and they won't shirk their responsibility."

After making the arrangements, Shen Pei'an finally sat down in a chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

The news has probably already spread within the industry. If it spreads further, the Lin Group will definitely suffer a severe blow.

If, in the next step, someone behind the scenes stirs things up and tries to smear Shen Pei-an, then in order to minimize the losses to the Lin Group, Shen Pei-an will be forced to withdraw from the Lin Group.

In this way, Zhou Lan might be able to get everything she has dreamed of for many years.

Shen Pei-an also expended a great deal of energy to protect these things.

Who could have imagined that in the end, it would all fall at the hands of an outsider like Zhang Yihong?

The more Shen Pei'an thought about it, the more terrified he became. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and forced himself to calm down.

After a long while, he finally regained his senses and dialed Fu Xiuheng's number.

-

"Let me introduce you. This is my teacher, Mr. Zhang Yihong."

In the teahouse, Fu Jingnian introduced Lin Qingran.

Early in the morning, Fu Jingnian invited Lin Qingran to meet him at the teahouse, saying that he had an important person to introduce to her.

With him, things will be much easier, and Sheng Hai Group's financing will proceed more smoothly.

Fu Jingnian also said that the person he introduced to Lin Qingran was not usually out and about, and because of his important status, his whereabouts were kept secret and he was not easily seen, so Lin Qingran had to take him very seriously.

However, Lin Qingran never expected that the person Fu Jingnian invited would be the renowned angel investor Zhang Yihong.

Not to mention his connections and resources, just a little bit given to Lin Qingran would be enough to elevate Shenghai Group to a higher level. Even if Zhang Yihong invested in Shenghai Group in his personal capacity, he could resolve the troubles Shenghai Group is currently facing in the shortest possible time.

Lin Qingran immediately straightened up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Yihong.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I've heard so much about you."

"No need to be so polite. Over the years, people around me have often mentioned Shenghai Group, and everyone is speculating about who the boss behind Shenghai Group is. But if I had to say, I would like to get to know you."
