My stepmother forced me to donate bone marrow, so I retaliated by slapping my scumbag father in the

Sun Mei smiled even more broadly: "Old classmate, this time we really owe you a lot."

"Once the sand mining project starts to make a profit, I will never forget what I promised you."

Chen Wen waved his hand: "Let's get this project done first, we can talk about other things later."

He collected all the contracts and handed them over to his staff for review.

A dozen minutes later, Shen Jianjun's phone rang.

A bank notification popped up, and the moment he saw the change in his balance, his breathing quickened.

Sixty-nine billion has arrived!

Sun Mei leaned closer for a look, then excitedly grabbed his arm: "Jianjun, we're really here!"

Shen Jianjun stared at the string of numbers, and the weight that had been pressing on his chest for days finally lifted.

With money, there's a chance to turn things around.

The project can be restarted, the suppliers can be stabilized, and the rumors outside can be suppressed.

More importantly, he will soon have a highly profitable sand mining industry chain.

"This time, I will definitely get everything I've lost back."

Shen Jianjun gripped his phone tightly, and his eyes regained their light.

"Those who are avoiding me now will soon be standing at the entrance of Jianjun Group again, begging for cooperation."

Sun Mei nodded vigorously: "Once we turn things around, the first thing we'll do is deal with Shenze!"

"Didn't he make billions off Qingnian Road?"

"Once our sand mine is fully operational, we might earn just as much as he does in a year!"

The two walked out of the signing room with much lighter steps.

Chen Wen stood at the door, smiling as he saw them into the elevator.

The smile on his face slowly faded only after the elevator doors closed completely.

The chairman's office on the top floor.

Shen Ze stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the building below.

A few minutes later, Shen Jianjun and Sun Mei walked out of the bank.

Before getting into the car, the two stopped at the door and exchanged a few words. Sun Mei had a big smile on her face, and Shen Jianjun straightened his back again, as if Jianjun Group had already overcome the crisis.

There was a knock on the office door.

Chen Wen strode in: "Chairman Shen, all the contracts have been signed."

"The 6.9 billion yuan loan has been disbursed, and all mortgage registrations have been completed."

"The equipment purchase contract will take effect simultaneously, and the funds will be transferred to the partner's account according to your arrangements."

Shen Ze turned around: "Did they suspect anything?"

"no."

Chen Wen replied, "Shen Jianjun was somewhat hesitant at first, but after the loan was deposited into his account, he completely believed it."

"Not to mention Sun Mei, she now sees this project as the Shen family's only chance to turn things around."

"I will arrange for someone to accompany them to the Northwest to select a site tomorrow."

Shen Ze nodded: "Proceed according to plan."

After Chen Wen left, the office fell silent again.

Shen Ze opened the policy intelligence.

There are only ten days left until the official release of the sand and gravel mining control policy.

Ten days later, mining quotas were frozen in many places, sand mining permits were tightened across the board, and projects in key areas were brought to a standstill.

The more Shen Jianjun invests now, the worse his losses will be in ten days.

The 6.9 billion yuan loan seemed like a lifeline, but in reality, it was the last pillar that broke the Shen family.

The equipment payment has been made, and the supply chain contract has also taken effect.

Next, there are investments in venue, transportation, personnel, and initial construction.

By the time Shen Jianjun realized what was happening, all the money had already been spent.

How did he repay the loan at that time?

If they can't pay it back, the luxury mansion in Huazhou Junting will be auctioned off.

The luxury cars registered under his name are to be auctioned off.

The assets, equity, and project rights of Jianjun Group will also be subject to bank disposal procedures.

Everything Shen Jianjun has achieved through half a lifetime of hard work will be personally delivered to Mingzhu Private Bank.

Shen Ze closed the page, his expression unchanged.

This is not enough.

Over the years, relying on the power of the Shen family, Sun Mei has bullied her mother quite a bit.

The Li family, who were on good terms with her, also contributed a lot to the effort.

Once the Jianjun Group has completely collapsed, he will follow this line and settle accounts with the Li family.

None of them can escape.

Thinking of his mother, Shen Ze's face grew even colder.

Back then, everyone said that his mother had died of illness, but Yu Yehua's words from a few days ago remained in his heart.

Although my mother's health was not good, it shouldn't have deteriorated so rapidly in such a short period of time.

The original medical records, medication records, and attending physician all need to be reinvestigated.

Shen Ze picked up his phone and pulled up the hospital information he had already found.

If we can find the doctor who treated me back then, many of the doubts can be clarified.

Just then, the phone rang, and Yu Binglan's name appeared on the screen.

Shen Ze answered the phone: "Binglan?"

There was no immediate response on the other end of the phone.

Two seconds later, Yu Binglan's clearly flustered voice came through: "Shen Ze, are you free right now?"

Shen Ze frowned slightly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Come to my house right now."

"What happened?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone."

Yu Binglan paused for a moment, then her tone became even more urgent: "Come here as soon as possible."

The call was immediately disconnected.

Shen Ze stared at his phone, completely bewildered.

Yu Binglan is usually calm and collected, and rarely speaks in this tone.

Could something have happened to Yu Yehua?

Without delay, he picked up his car keys and left the bank.

The black Rolls-Royce drove out of the underground garage and headed towards the Yu family's house.

After parking the car downstairs, Shen Ze quickly went upstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, he realized that something was wrong.

The living room lacked its usual relaxed atmosphere; Yu Yehua sat in the center of the sofa, his expression serious.

Yu Binglan sat to the side, wearing light makeup today. Her delicate face looked a little unnatural, and her hands were gently folded in front of her knees.

Shen Ze walked into the living room: "Uncle Yu, Binglan, what happened?"

Yu Yehua pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Xiao Shen, sit down first."

Shen Ze sat down, his gaze sweeping over the father and daughter's faces: "Have you run into trouble?"

"It's not a problem."

Yu Yehua looked at him and said without beating around the bush, "I called you here today to ask you something very important."

Shen Ze sat up straight: "Uncle Yu, please speak."

Yu Yehua asked solemnly, "What exactly are your plans for Binglan?"

The living room fell silent. Yu Binglan looked up at Shen Ze.

Shen Ze didn't hesitate: "I want to be with her for a long time."

"Just dating, or marriage?"

"marry."

Shen Ze answered firmly: "I have never considered Bing Lan as someone for a short-term relationship."

"I will marry her and take care of her for the rest of my life, as long as she is willing."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Binglan's fingers unconsciously tightened, and her cheeks slowly flushed.

Yu Yehua stared at Shen Ze for a few seconds to make sure he wasn't just giving a perfunctory answer before nodding.

"it is good."

He took a file folder from under the coffee table and placed it on the table.

"Xiao Shen, since you truly want to stay with Bing Lan for the long term, then I'll make the decision for you today."

"You two, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now to get your marriage certificate."

Shen Ze was stunned: "Uncle Yu, what did you say?"

Shen Ze was usually calm and collected, but when he heard the words "getting the marriage certificate," he still couldn't react immediately.

He did consider marrying Yu Binglan, and after confirming their mutual feelings, this idea never wavered.

But he never expected that Yu Yehua would suddenly ask them to register their marriage today.
