Chapter 463: He Said It Was A Thank You Gift
In fact, Song Qingyou couldn’t think of a good idea after thinking for a long time.
If they only released the news of Shen Ji’s stroke, the Shen Group’s stock would indeed fall, but not by much. Because Shen Xiuren was still fine, it was only a matter of time before they stabilized the group.
At this critical juncture, Wen Wan came knocking on the door.
She knew that Song Qingyou didn’t like to listen to nonsense, so she went straight to the point.”
“I heard that Shen Ji is in the hospital?”
“Where did you hear that?” Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows.
“News.” Wen Wan said, “Although it’s not considered a legitimate newspaper, there are quite a few people discussing it.”
Song Qingyou nodded and told her the news that Shen Ji was likely to be paralyzed from a stroke, then she told her and Lin Xuyang’s guess.
Wen Wan widened her eyes slightly. “Shen Xiyan wants to compete with Shen Xiuren for the right of inheritance?”
“An adoptive child also has the right of inheritance. If she didn’t have such thoughts, the news of Shen Ji being hospitalized wouldn’t have spread so quickly.”
“No wonder the news clearly stated that Shen Xiuren angered Shen Ji to the point of having a stroke…”
Wen Wan lowered her head, deep in thought.
“You came to me just to confirm the authenticity of the news?”
“Of course not.” Wen Wan raised her head abruptly. “I thought that this might be a good opportunity to destroy the Shen family. I wanted to ask if there was anything 1 could help with…”
“As for now-”
“Since adopted daughters have the right to inherit, I should be able to do the same as a biological daughter, right?”
“You want to inherit the Shen family?” Song Qingyou narrowed her eyes.
To be honest, she did not want Wen Wan to do this.
Because the bankruptcy of the Shen Corporation was inevitable in her eyes.
No matter who was at the helm, she would make this ship sink to the bottom.
If Wen Wan wanted the Shen family, it would be impossible for them to coexist peacefully.
Wen Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she was being stared at.
She did not keep him in suspense any longer. She explained, “No, I don’t want to inherit the Shen Corporation. My surname is Wen. I have nothing to do with that corporation.”
“And I don’t have the ability to manage the company… Compared to inheriting the Shen Corporation, I want to see it completely collapse and let Shen Ji die in peace!”
Wen Wan said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Song Qingyou’s mind was in turmoil. She was silent for a few seconds before
she said, “I really need your help.”
“What do you want me to do?” Wen Wan asked.
“I want you to be a filial daughter-”
When one was sick, anyone would hope that someone would care for them, especially someone of Shen Ji’s age and character.
It could be foreseen that Shen Xiyan, Shen Xiuren, and several illegitimate children would be very busy fighting for the right of inheritance. Xu Li also had to help Shen Xiuren, and they might not be able to care about Shen Ji.
At this time, as long as Wen Wan pretended to be filial, once or twice, Shen Ji would not be moved. However, if she did it many times, plus he knew about Shen Xiuren and the others… Wen Wan would become his most special daughter.
After Wen Wan heard this, she frowned and said, “You want me to be filial to
Shen Ji? Although I feel nauseous, it’s not that I can’t endure it…”
“The problem is that since Shen Ji is not dead, those who want to snatch the right of inheritance will have to curry favor with Shen Ji. How can I be the only one in the hospital?”
“That depends on how severe Shen Ji’s stroke is,” Song Qingyou replied. “If he’s not paralyzed for the time being, you’ll have to talk to the attending doctor.” This was simply telling Wen Wan to urge the doctor to exaggerate the situation.
Wen Wan nodded. “Then, the second question is, what good will it do for me to be filial to Shen Ji? From what I know of him, he would never hand the company over to me.”
Firstly, Shen Ji couldn’t bear to hand over the company to someone else before he died.
Secondly, Shen Ji actually favored sons over daughters, so it was almost impossible for him to hand the company over to his daughter.
“This also depends on your ability.” Song Qingyou smiled.
Once Shen Ji knew that he might be paralyzed in bed and that his daughter and son were eyeing the company covetously, he would definitely think of ways to hold onto what belonged to him tightly.
At this moment, Wen Wan was the only one in front of the hospital bed. The only one who could help him was Wen Wan. He had no other choice.
Moreover, Wen Wan was indeed his biological daughter, so he naturally trusted her more than outsiders.
At that time, even if Wen Wan could not get the company shares in Shen Ji’s hands, she would still become Shen Ji’s agent.
No matter what the outcome was, she would be able to coordinate with Lin Xuyang.
Song Qingyou had already told her the method, so it was up to Wen Wan what to do next.
“I understand.”
Wen Wan brainstormed for a while and chose to agree.
Of course, Song Qingyou didn’t trust her 100%.
As soon as Wen Wan left, she called Lin Xuyang and discussed what they should do if Wen Wan changed sides.
However, by then, even if Wen Wan went back on her word and wanted to take over the Shen Corporation, it would be too late, because the investment company founded by Song Qingyou would have already short-sold the Shen Corporation’s stocks, causing its capital chain to break.
It was the weekend, and the sky was clear.
After Chen Lan and Ms. Lin’s discussion, Song Qingyou decided to take a day off to shoot the commercial.
Song Qingyou thought that she might be able to meet Lu Ziyan during the advertisement shoot.
It wasn’t that she thought she was a big shot, but the person who contacted
Chen Lan was Lu Ziyan’s assistant.
When the commercial was over, Song Qingyou couldn’t help but ask Ms. Lin why she was able to get the endorsement.
Ms. Lin was a straightforward person. She said frankly without thinking much, “Originally, Dream Garden didn’t plan to sign a spokesperson in the country. According to Dream Garden’s current popularity, there’s actually no need for that.”
“From the perspective of influence, commercial value, and other aspects, I would almost never consider you as our spokesperson.”
When Song Qingyou heard this, she didn’t feel offended.
She had only debuted for less than two years, and she was indeed not the best in all aspects.
Ms. Lin saw that her expression did not change and was satisfied.
Song Qingyou would go one step further sooner or later. Perhaps they would still have a chance to work together.
“The reason I chose you-”
Ms. Lin paused, her expression a little strange.
“I asked CEO Lu before… Now that I think about it, he might have guessed that
you would ask, so he told me.”
“What?” Song Qingyou was curious.
“CEO Lu said it was a thank you gift for taking care of Old Master Lu and
sending him back to the sanatorium.”
A sanatorium?
Song Qingyou couldn’t remember when this had happened.
“It was the day you met Old Master Jiang,” Chen Lan reminded her in a low voice.
Song Qingyou suddenly understood.
That’s right, she helped an old man that day and was even caught by him. He called herXiaoxiao and Manzhen.
He did not expect that it was actually the Lu family!
Seeing that she had remembered, Ms. Lin did not ask about what had happened
and brought the topic back to the advertisement.
At the end of October, Dream Garden Jewelry and Dream Garden Apparels were all replaced with new promotional posters. New advertisements also appeared frequently in the subway, commercial squares, and other places.
Song Qingyou had successfully made her way out of the entertainment circle with her god-like looks in posters and advertisements.
At the same time, after Wen Wan went to the hospital to ‘sneak’ a few times to visit Shen Ji, Shen Ji called her to his side. The father and daughter seemed to have reconciled.
From then on, Wen Wan went to the hospital more and more often..
