Chapter 456 Old Master Shen's Phone Call
Chi Yu sat next to Shen Yanzhi. When Shen Yanzhi stood up, she saw the nickname displayed on her phone.

Was this a call from Grandpa Shen?

Considering the precarious relationship between Shen Yanzhi and his grandfather, Chi Yu strongly suspected that the grandfather had called to cause trouble.

After Shen Yanzhi had walked away, Chi Yu asked Su Zhengye, "Dad, how is the Shen family doing now?"

Before we knew it, Shen Yanzhi had been gone for over a month.

Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, Su Zhengye's expression shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at his daughter, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Chi Yu said calmly, "I've suddenly become a little curious."

Su Zhengye shook his head: "The situation at the Shen family is not good right now."

Su Chengyan scoffed: "It's not just bad, it's downright terrible."

Having successfully drawn Chi Yu's attention, Su Chengyan immediately told Chi Yu what he knew.

Since Shen Yanzhi left, the Shen family business has been temporarily managed by Old Master Shen and a few members of the board of directors.

When Shen Yanzhi was in charge, he purged all the corrupt officials who had gotten in through connections. After he left, the higher-ups became more ambitious, tacitly agreeing that all the rules set by Shen Yanzhi were automatically null and void, and began stuffing their sons, daughters, wives, and nephews into the company... completely treating the company as a dumping ground.

The same is true for the Shen family, including the eldest and second eldest. Not only did the couple regain their previous positions, but they also gave their son and daughter-in-law custodial jobs, allowing them to earn extra income while lying down.

When those above do this, the employees below follow suit.

The originally well-organized rules and regulations turned into chaos in less than a month.

By the time Grandpa Shen discovered it, it was already too late.

Unless he makes an example of the four members of the Shen family (the eldest and second eldest) and fires them, he won't be convincing.

After Shen Yanzhi resigned, the Shen family had already lost credibility due to the Feng Jingge and Wen Lan incident, and there were other rivals eyeing them covetously.

To put it simply: they lost an excellent leader and are now facing a tragic situation with both internal and external troubles.

It's easy to imagine that Shen's business has been on a downward spiral for the past month and a half, and that would be an understatement.

Su Muyang chuckled to himself, "Now Grandpa Shen shouldn't have time to urge me to get married!"

Old Master Shen...

Grandpa Shen really didn't have time to urge Shen Yanzhi to get married. In fact, these days, every time he thought about how he had used company shares to force Shen Yanzhi to get married, Grandpa Shen felt deep regret.

Shen Yanzhi was so outstanding and capable that Old Master Shen had been a hands-off manager for so many years and had long since stopped interfering in company affairs. Now that he has suddenly taken over, even though he has previous experience in managing companies, he will find it difficult to integrate in a short time.

Old Master Shen now realizes that it's not that Shen Yanzhi can't live without the Shen family, but rather that the Shen family can't live without him.

On the phone, Old Master Shen's voice was kind: "Yanzhi, I heard that you have a girlfriend now, and she is the daughter of the Su family?"

Shen Yanzhi: "Hmm."

Realizing Shen Yanzhi's coldness, Old Master Shen had mixed feelings.

He only heard about Shen Yanzhi having a girlfriend from other people in the last two days. When Old Master Shen heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief.

How long has Shen Yanzhi been out of office? Only a month! How come he's already got a girlfriend so quickly?
He knew Shen Yanzhi's personality; he was definitely not the type to have a whirlwind romance and marriage unless he already knew the other person.

It wasn't until several younger members of the Shen family heard about it and came to ask him that he had no choice but to believe that the news might be true.

"When did this happen? You know that young lady from the Su family, how come I've never heard you mention her?" If Shen Yanzhi had said earlier that he had someone he liked, how could he have forced Shen Yanzhi to go on blind dates and get married?

Now, when he thinks back to what he did a month and a half ago, even he thinks it's a joke.

Shen Yanzhi succinctly stated: "Within this timeframe."

"Grandpa is so happy for you that you've found a girlfriend. When are you going to bring her back to the old house for a meal?" Grandpa Shen asked eagerly.

Shen Yanzhi said, "Wait until some time later."

After returning from the river tracing trip, news of Shen Yanzhi and Chi Yu's relationship spread throughout the industry. Not only did Jiang Chang, Jiang Siyuan, and others call to tease Shen Yanzhi, but even Ms. Jiang made a special call.

However, Ms. Jiang is currently on a business trip out of town. After her promotion, she became a member of the inspection team, conducting nationwide inspections and cracking down on organized crime. She will not be able to return to Beijing for the time being.

Otherwise, Shen Yanzhi would have already been pestering Chi Yu to meet his parents.

Old Master Shen was unaware of Shen Yanzhi's thoughts and assumed that Shen Yanzhi had already forgiven him. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you can talk first. Give me a call in advance when you bring people back."

Shen Yanzhi responded, "Okay."

……

The next morning, Chi Yu received a bunch of WeChat messages from Chen Xiangyi about Su Huan being expelled from school.

[This is absolutely outrageous! I never knew she would do something like this!]

[I used to think she was a bit of a green tea bitch, but I never imagined she was so innocent and wicked!]
[And what about her second uncle and aunt? How can they protect her like this!]

[Ugh, how embarrassing! Why did I let someone like that become my relative?!]
[I really want to sacrifice my own family for the greater good!]

……

Chen Xiangyi typed furiously, launching into a tirade against Chi Yu.

When Chi Yu picked up her phone, there were already 32+ unread messages.

Chi Yu was actually quite angry too. She sent Chen Xiangyi a hug emoji and then typed:

Don't get angry, don't get angry. Anger will only make you sick, and no one can take your place.
[Su Huan is an adult; opening the box is illegal, right? Shouldn't she bear legal responsibility for what she did? What is the victim's attitude?]
Chen Xiangyi seemed to be playing on her phone; as soon as Chi Yu sent her message, her new message arrived quickly:
Opening the box is illegal!

I don't know how this matter is being handled now; my parents told me not to meddle.

[I'm not being nosy; I'm just worried that if she really goes to jail, it will affect my future civil service exams!]
You could practically feel Chen Xiangyi's fury even through the screen.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu realized that it was indeed a problem.

Su Huan did something wrong, and she deserves to be punished by law.

But under the current system of collective punishment, even if they have done nothing wrong, they, as relatives, may still be implicated by Su Huan.

However, if Su Huan knowingly breaks the law and ultimately escapes legal punishment, it will undoubtedly cause secondary harm to the victims.

Chen Xiangyi probably realized this as well, and said helplessly:

[Sigh! Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore! Those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail, and those who deserve to be executed should be executed!]
The last sentence was clearly said in anger.

Chen Xiangyi sent a picture of a kitten lying stiffly on its back.
