In the conference room of the Shen Group, Shen Yanchuan sat in the chief seat, with Shen Yaorong, who was still the second largest shareholder, sitting next to him. Ever since he was stripped of his power in the company, he would always contradict Shen Yanchuan and create conflict at every meeting.

"Nephew, do you even know how to manage a company? We went through a lot of trouble to acquire that land, and now you're just giving it up like that? Do you even understand business? Or have you been abroad for too long and have developed a prejudice against the development strategies of domestic companies?"

Shen Yanchuan snorted coldly, glancing at Zhou Youchen out of the corner of his eye. Zhou Youchen immediately picked up a report and said, "Mr. Shen, the land that you bought with your funds was a landfill eight years ago. It was completely unsuitable for building commercial developments. Even if you wanted to build, you would have to spend a huge amount of money to refill the land and carry out the renovation."

Shen Yaorong's face darkened, and the surrounding shareholders looked over in shock. "He said there was no problem with the land back then, how come there's a problem all of a sudden?"

"That's right! He didn't tell us about this back then. Could someone have taken a bribe?"

Shen Yaorong pointed angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

The other shareholders immediately fell silent, but their eyes were filled with anger and resentment. Their investment money had been secretly used to buy a piece of wasteland, and the company had even signed off on it without their knowledge.

“Uncle, we will sell this wasteland at 30% less than the purchase price. The main person in charge and the company will share the losses. We will take 3% of your company's shares as compensation to the company,” Shen Yanchuan said coldly.

"You... Shen Yanchuan, you already own the company, and you still want to take my shares?" Shen Yaorong stood up abruptly in anger, pointing angrily at the young man sitting above him as an elder.

“It seems that Uncle is getting old and his memory is failing. This is the responsibility agreement that you signed yourself. Don’t you want to take a look at it yourself?” Shen Yanchuan threw a document in front of him.

This imposing presence earned the silent admiration of the other shareholders, who, in a short time, witnessed Shen Yanchuan's charisma and capabilities.

He was like a tiger lying in wait, emerging from the mountains and making a name for himself.

“Vice President Shen, you used this letter of commitment to force us to sign the contract back then, and now the company has to bear half of the consequences. President Shen has already been very lenient with you.”

"That's right! Not making him bear 100% of the losses is already a generous act by President Shen."

Shen Yaorong picked up the contract, glanced at it, and sat down in anger. He remembered that his son had come up with this idea to force these shareholders to sign the land purchase contract with him. He never thought that he would be pushed off the stage and be restrained by Shen Yanchuan.

"Meeting adjourned!" Shen Yanchuan stood up and stepped out the door.

Su Chenxi had already arrived in Shen Yanchuan's office, and her assistant was warmly serving her a cup of tea. "Second Young Madam, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Su Chenxi nodded.

Just then, Shen Yanchuan and Zhou Youchen pushed the door open and came in together. They were both taken aback when they saw Su Chenxi, who had come uninvited, on the sofa.

"Second Young Madam, what brings you here?" Zhou Youchen asked with a smile.

Su Chenxi held her teacup, looking at Zhou Youchen with a forced smile, "Assistant Zhou, guess why I came?"

"Ha! I...I can't guess." Zhou Youchen looked at his boss guiltily, thinking to himself, "Oh no, it must be that my bad idea from last night has been discovered."

Shen Yanchuan coughed lightly, "You can go out first."

Zhou Youchen gave an awkward smile, turned around, and quickly left. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he slapped his forehead, "Looks like the second young mistress isn't so easy to fool!"

Su Chenxi looked at the man in the office, took out the supplementary divorce agreement from her bag and waved it, "Second Young Master, aren't you going to explain?"

"I'm very dissatisfied with your recent performance. Is there a problem with adding a supplementary agreement?" Shen Yanchuan said as he lazily sat down on the sofa opposite her.

The sunlight slanted across his face, making his thick, long eyelashes appear as dense as a fan, and his pupils resembled a deep, unfathomable sea.

Su Chenxi put the contract on the table. "Can I not sign it?"

Since she already has a divorce agreement that is valid at any time, why would she need to sign this extra supplementary agreement?

Isn't that setting rules and restrictions for herself?

Shen Yanchuan crossed his long legs, his gestures exuding an air of refined arrogance. "You don't have to sign it, and of course, I don't need to sign the project contract that the Jiang family handed over a week ago."

Su Chenxi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Was this guy threatening her?

"Are you threatening me?" Su Chenxi glared at him angrily.

Shen Yanchuan gave a cool smile. "You can think of it that way."

Su Chenxi searched her mind for anything that could threaten him, but to her dismay, she found that since he stopped pretending to be lame, she really had nothing left to threaten him with.

Su Chenxi looked at the supplementary agreement for a few seconds, took out a pen from her bag, and quickly signed her name on it. "I've signed it. Please don't make things difficult for the Jiang family's project."

In order for her mother to live comfortably in the Jiang family, she must help the Jiang Group to stand up again.

Su Chenxi picked up her bag and was about to leave, thinking she could try to avoid signing, but one sentence from the other party scared her into submission.

"I'm leaving now, I won't bother you any longer." With that, Su Chenxi picked up her bag and walked towards the door.

Behind him, a cold warning suddenly came: "If you want a smooth divorce in a year, you'd better stay far away from that Gu guy."

Su Chenxi didn't turn around, and timidly replied, "I know."

Feeling depressed, she walked outside. Zhou Youchen quickly hid behind a pillar. Su Chenxi couldn't help but laugh and called out to him, "Assistant Zhou, don't hide, I've seen you."

Zhou Youchen could only give an awkward smile as he walked out, "Second Young Madam, are you alright?"

Su Chenxi knew she couldn't blame him, since he wasn't the one who requested the supplementary divorce agreement.

Su Chenxi shook her head, indicating that she was in a bad mood.

"Tomorrow night is a private banquet hosted by the Shen Group. Second Young Mistress, you'd better be on your best and attend with the Second Young Master," Zhou Youchen reminded her.

Su Chenxi said weakly, "Can I not participate?"

Zhou Youchen hurriedly said, "No, Second Young Mistress, you must participate! You are the leading lady."

Su Chenxi thought to herself, she doesn't want to be the female lead!

"I've already notified the Jiang family. See you tomorrow night. I have to get back to work now." Zhou Youchen said, turning and walking towards his office.

Su Chenxi stood at the elevator door when her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was her mother calling.

She answered, "Hello! Mom."

"Chenxi, I've received an invitation to the Shen Group's banquet. You'd better dress up nicely tomorrow and not embarrass the Shen family."

"Mom, I will."

"Oh! That's great, you've finally made something of yourself. Now Mom doesn't have to worry about you not doing well."

Su Chenxi's nose tingled with emotion. "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm doing very well."

"See you tomorrow then."

Su Chenxi hung up the phone with her mother and sighed. The divorce a year later would definitely disappoint her mother and Uncle Jiang!
