Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"If I don't agree, given the connections your Shen family has, it will be very difficult for the Liu Group to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Is that what you mean, Mr. Shen?"

Meng Chuan asked Shen An calmly and directly.

In fact, the path to success for so-called successful people is by no means accidental.

Dealing with someone like Shen An, who is capable of being the head of a family and appears outwardly amiable, kept Meng Chuan on edge.

As the old saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite.

Every word spoken by this type of person may conceal eight hundred hidden intentions.

If you're not careful, you could fall into their trap.

Shen An outwardly adopted a very humble attitude, and every word he uttered sounded like a compromise.

Upon closer examination, however, every sentence is laced with barbs and veiled barbs.

Meng Chuan knew in his heart that if he didn't take the initiative to write a letter of understanding, the Liu Group's path to listing would inevitably be fraught with setbacks.

"Brother Meng, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that."

Shen An, with a forced smile, explained eagerly:

"Besides, the Shanghai Stock Exchange isn't owned by my family. Although my Shen family has some connections, we can't control everything in Shanghai!"

He was humble in his words, but his composed demeanor betrayed him.

It was obvious that Shen An had an extreme level of confidence in the power of the Shen family.

Meng Chuan understood what he meant, and he was very happy.

Because some things cannot be said outright.

It would be best if Meng Chuan could understand nature.

If this were in Shanghai, he wouldn't even need to ask Meng Chuan for a letter of forgiveness.

With the Shen family's influence in Shanghai, even unblocking the "bullet" wouldn't be too difficult.

Not to mention the mere case of hiring someone to commit assault.

But this is a county town, not Shen's territory.

Shen An didn't want to go to great lengths for such a trivial matter.

If we can successfully obtain a letter of understanding, things will be half simpler.

"Mr. Shen, as far as I know, this matter has already entered the prosecution stage, and many people are involved, with multiple cases being tried concurrently. It's a particularly large-scale gang crime. Even if you get my letter of forgiveness, I'm afraid your son will find it difficult to escape unscathed, won't he?"

Meng Chuan remained calm, seemingly casually posing the question.

But everything he said was true.

Shen Chong's case is not as simple as hiring someone to commit assault.

It also involves drug users and may even be related to drug trafficking.

In addition, Lin Zhongyue was also involved.

Armed crime and financial crime are all major cases, with complete witness testimony and physical evidence.

This case is very complicated, with one link after another.

It's not something that can be easily resolved with just a letter of understanding from Meng Chuan.

"That's none of Brother Meng's concern. As long as you can issue a letter of understanding and not appeal, it will be very easy for my Shen family to get one or two people out of this mess."

Shen An raised his chin, his face full of confidence.

Shen An has already instructed the company's legal department to follow up and understand the case throughout the entire process.

What I fear most is that Meng Chuan will continue to pursue the matter.

If they try to get Meng Chuan released while simultaneously appealing, the situation could easily spiral out of control.

Especially with the power of online public opinion, once it is stirred up, the Shen family may be doomed.

As long as Meng Chuan stops causing trouble and gets a letter of understanding, things will be much easier to resolve.

Meng Chuan pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons.

Fighting to the death with the Shen family will not benefit him at all right now.

Moreover, the Liu Group is at a critical stage of its listing, which is the father-in-law's lifelong wish.

He absolutely could not allow the Shen family to interfere at this time, lest his father-in-law have regrets.

"Okay, I can give you the letter of understanding, and I don't want the ten million anymore, but I hope that President Shen can keep his word and not hinder the Liu Group's listing."

Meng Chuan finally relented.

"Thank you, thank you so much for your understanding, Brother Meng. I thank you on behalf of my son."

Shen An was overjoyed and even prepared paper and pen for Meng Chuan in advance.

Meng Chuan quickly typed a letter of understanding and handed it over.

"What beautiful handwriting! Young man, you are truly exceptional."

Shen An looked at the beautiful, slender gold script and sincerely admired it.

He wasn't surprised that Meng Chuan didn't want the ten million; given Meng Chuan's current net worth, that amount of money really wasn't very attractive.

After the matter was resolved, Shen An exchanged a few polite words and then took his leave with Shen Yue.

However, no sooner had they left than Meng Chuan took out his phone.

The above is a recording of the entire process starting from when you enter the room.

"Shen An, I hope you can truly keep your promise. Otherwise, I don't mind taking action against your Shen family ahead of time."

Meng Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile.

Meng Chuan deliberately pointed out Shen An's threat to list the Liu Group on the stock exchange, and also pointed out that the case was complicated and the letter of understanding had limited effect.

The purpose was to extract information from Shen An about his use of power to oppress others.

Record this evidence, enough to stir up a media storm.

The son of the owner of Shang'an Real Estate in Shanghai hired someone to commit assault, and his father used his power to threaten him.

The title alone is enough to trend on social media.

Moreover, Meng Chuan also possesses Douyin, a powerful weapon.

With just a little encouragement, a massive media storm could be created.

For listed companies, negative news is a deadly poison.

A single piece of negative news can, at best, cause a market value to evaporate by hundreds of millions, and at worst, it could even lead to bankruptcy and restructuring.

Even if the Shen family wields immense power, Meng Chuan doesn't believe they can remain indifferent to this.

Meng Chuan is not a petty person.

As long as Shang'an Real Estate behaves itself and allows Liu's Group to go public smoothly, he won't resort to this tactic.

But if the Shen family does something bad, he always has to have a backup plan.

Shen An's decisiveness far exceeded Meng Chuan's expectations.

Meng Chuan had just given a letter of understanding in the morning, and Zhang Jie called in the afternoon.

"Shen Chong's case has already begun the transfer process. If all goes well, he will be transferred to the Shanghai court for trial tomorrow. What do you think we should do? Should we forcibly intercept him?"

Zhang Jie has been closely following Shen Chong's case.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they would notify Meng Chuan immediately.

As a party involved and a victim, Meng Chuan could have raised objections if he did not agree to the transfer.

Although in the face of absolute power, the dissent of ordinary people may be insignificant.

But as long as Meng Chuan takes a tough stance, Zhang Jie has ways to unite some departments to exert pressure collectively.

"There's no need. Let him hand it over!"

Meng Chuan shook his head decisively.

He has already issued a letter of understanding, so Shen An initiated the transfer procedure so quickly probably because he was afraid that he would interfere.

Fine, let them transfer it wherever they want.

As long as the Shen family doesn't target the Liu Group's listing, his feud with the Shen family can be put to a temporary end.

For the next two days, Meng Chuan had a rare chance to relax.

He spends his free time with Liu Qian, who is a patient.

Liu Qian has a graceful figure, and even though she is dressed conservatively, Meng Chuan's occasional "hands-on" gestures offer a unique and captivating view.

Two days later, the most exciting moment arrived.

Early in the morning, Liu Qian summoned Meng Chuan to the Liu family home.

"I can check my college entrance exam results at noon!"

Liu Qian's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she held Meng Chuan's hand tightly.

Meng Chuan was also affected by her emotions.

My initially calm mood suddenly became quite turbulent. "The Writer's Peak Competition has begun. I added two chapters yesterday. An extra chapter for every 100,000 battle points. Please give good reviews and rewards. Thank you for your support, my godfathers."
