After a prolonged stalemate, Shen Yulin's expression grew increasingly serious. He tightly gripped the cigarette case in his hand as if it were his last lifeline. Finally, as if he had made a firm decision, he suddenly threw the cigarette case forcefully to the ground and slowly stood up.
His gaze was resolute and determined, as if he had come to a difficult conclusion. He looked at the two people sitting in front of him and said in a low but powerful voice, "Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, I've thought it through. I agree to your request. I will move the company headquarters to the capital as soon as possible. I need to take care of some important matters in the next couple of days, but rest assured, once those are settled, I will come right away."
After saying this, Shen Yulin took a deep breath, as if trying to exhale all the pressure he felt, and turned to leave.
Aunt and Uncle exchanged glances and finally let out a long sigh of relief. "I wonder if Xiao Fan will be angry when he finds out about our decision," Aunt said worriedly as she looked toward the second floor. "Since we’ve come this far, we should make the best of it. He is so understanding; he will realize our difficulties. The urgent matter now is with Brother-in-law; delaying it any longer will surely raise suspicions."
"If we can't keep it under wraps, I'll talk to Brother-in-law," Uncle said with a wry smile, taking on this thankless task.
Shen Yulin moved quickly; during the original board meeting, someone had suggested relocating the headquarters to the capital. At that time, Shen Yulin had insisted on moving to B City for my sake despite opposition. Now, at the newly convened board meeting, he announced once again that they would relocate to the capital, and many people voted in favor. Only Cheng Haifeng did not understand why Shen Yulin suddenly chose to move the company.
After the meeting, Cheng Haifeng followed Shen Yulin into his office and eagerly asked, "Mr. Shen, what’s going on? Why did you suddenly make this decision?"
Shen Yulin looked at Cheng Haifeng with a serious expression and slowly replied, "You don’t need to ask about this; I have something very important to discuss with you..." He paused before continuing, "I have already scheduled a meeting with a lawyer. We need to find some time in the next few days; I will transfer an additional 10% of my shares to you. This way, you will become the largest shareholder of Chengxing while I step back and no longer interfere with Chengxing's affairs."
Cheng Haifeng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stammered, "You... are you crazy? Why are you giving me these shares? Where are you going?"
Shen Yulin waved his hand to calm Cheng Haifeng down and said calmly, "You don’t need to worry; I will leave after some time. As for the company, if you encounter any situations that are difficult for you to decide on, feel free to message me anytime." After saying this, he patted Cheng Haifeng's shoulder as if trying to reassure him.
"If there’s nothing else, you can go now; I still have some matters to handle here. Once I hand things over to you and everything runs smoothly, you won’t have to worry too much." With that, Shen Yulin pushed the still-dazed Cheng Haifeng out of the office.
Standing at the door, Cheng Haifeng was unable to process what Shen Yulin had just said. In a daze, he returned to his own office and picked up his phone to call Zhang Yun. It wasn't until he heard his wife's voice on the other end that he began to regain his composure. "Honey, what's wrong?"
Cheng Haifeng recounted everything that had happened during and after the meeting to Zhang Yun, who was equally confused.
"Should I call Xingxing and ask what’s going on? Mr. Shen is acting very strangely; it feels like he's preparing for something," Zhang Yun suggested after hanging up.
After washing his face in the restroom and staring into the mirror while muttering about Mr. Shen's situation, Cheng Haifeng felt unsettled.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yun was also anxious on her end and decided to call me for more information.
"Hello, Zhang Yun."
"Baby, what are you doing?"
"At Aunt's house."
"When do you plan on returning to B City?"
"Your call came at just the right time; please help me ask my teacher for leave for next Monday's graduation ceremony~"
"Graduation ceremony? Xingxing, what are you talking about! We graduated a year ago!"
Suddenly remembering Aunt saying that I had memory gaps made me realize that I had indeed graduated a year ago. But why couldn't I remember?
"What’s wrong with you? Baby! I'm flying over tomorrow to see you; we can talk when we meet!" With that urgency in her voice, Zhang Yun hurriedly hung up the phone.
