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

Snapped!

He slammed the documents on the table: "Useless! Shen Jianjun is a complete waste!"

"How much help and resources did the Sun family give him? How could he have ruined a multi-billion dollar conglomerate like this!"

The Sun family members standing in the living room all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

Sun Qingliang's chest heaved, his anger impossible to contain.

Sun Mei has been married to Shen Jianjun for so many years, and the Sun family has played a significant role in enabling Jianjun Group to grow to a scale of hundreds of billions.

Projects, connections, funding, relationships.

Shen Jianjun has enjoyed far more than the average businessman could have over the years.

But now?

Bankruptcy could occur at any time, and even the Sun family would lose face as a result.

"Let them handle it themselves."

Sun Qingliang said coldly, "From today onwards, the Sun family will no longer care about the fate of Jianjun Group."

A middle-aged clansman hesitated before speaking, "Patriarch, but Amei is, after all, your daughter."

"She chose this path herself; should the Sun family bear the consequences for her?"

Sun Qingliang's face was gloomy: "Back then, she insisted on marrying Shen Jianjun, and I didn't stop her."

"Over the years, she has relied on the Sun family's status to act arrogantly in Shanghai and has caused a lot of trouble for the Sun family."

"Now that this has happened, am I supposed to clean up her mess?"

The middle-aged clansman dared not speak again.

Sun Qingliang remained silent for a long time, then gently tapped the ground with his cane.

Sun Mei was his youngest daughter, and also the daughter he was most reluctant to part with.

No matter how much he cursed her, he couldn't possibly stand by and watch Sun Mei go from a wealthy socialite to an ordinary person burdened with debt.

It's even more impossible for them to watch Sun Mei lose everything she has now.

"Get the car ready."

Sun Qingliang suddenly spoke.

Several members of the Sun family raised their heads at the same time.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Shanghai"

Sun Qingliang slowly stood up: "Jianjun Group can be gone, and Shen Jianjun can also be left with nothing."

"But Sun Mei's life must not be affected."

"As long as Shen Jianjun is willing to bow down and completely submit to the Sun family, I can give him another chance."

"From now on, Jianjun Group will no longer belong to the Shen family; it will only be considered a dog kept by the Sun family."

"If he listens to advice, the Sun family will naturally continue to support him."

"If he doesn't obey, then let him and the Jianjun Group go down together."

Sun Qingliang leaned on his cane and walked out of the manor.

"Let's go to Shanghai."

……

Pearl Private Bank, top-floor chairman's office.

Shen Ze sat behind his large desk, flipping through the latest asset disposal documents sent by the bank.

The mortgaged assets under Jianjun Group have entered the evaluation stage.

Once the loan matures, Mingzhu Private Bank can initiate disposal procedures in accordance with the law.

At that time, Shen Jianjun's real estate, equity, and company assets will be gradually auctioned off.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Chen Wen walked in with his younger brother.

The two stood in front of Shen Ze, both looking somewhat reserved.

During this period, they promoted the mining project for Shen Ze and, as instructed, kept Shen Jianjun in check, causing Jianjun Group to fall into the trap step by step.

Now that fifteen mines have been shut down, Shen Jianjun has completely lost any chance to turn his life around.

They knew very well that Shen Ze's methods were far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"Chairman Shen."

Chen Wen respectfully said, "You're looking for us?"

Shen Ze looked up at the two brothers and praised them, "You've done a good job with the mine."

Hearing this, Chen Wen felt relieved: "This is what we should do."

"It's not something we should do."

Shen Ze smiled and said, "The promised reward has already been arranged by the finance department."

Chen Wen and his younger brother were both taken aback.

The next second, their phones rang almost simultaneously.

Chen Wen glanced down at the payment notification and his breathing became rapid.

His brother's hands were also trembling.

The reward far exceeded their original expectations.

"Chairman Shen, this..."

Chen Wen looked up, his face full of surprise: "Isn't that...too much?"

"We just did what we were supposed to do; we wouldn't dare accept so much."

Shen Ze's tone was calm: "I don't like owing others, nor do I like mistreating those who do things for me."

"You've done a good job, so it's normal for you to receive the reward you deserve."

Chen Wen quickly replied, "Don't worry, Chairman Shen, I will do my best to handle any tasks you assign me from now on."

His younger brother also nodded hurriedly: "From now on, we brothers will only follow your arrangements."

Shen Ze looked at the two of them but did not speak immediately.

The silence in the office caused the smiles on Chen Wen's and his brother's faces to slowly fade.

Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to meet Shen Ze's gaze.

After a moment, Shen Ze finally spoke: "Just because you've received the reward doesn't mean you can rest easy."

Chen Wen's heart tightened: "Chairman Shen, what do you mean?"

"Pearl Private Bank can have put you where you are today, and it can also make you lose everything overnight."

Shen Ze leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the two of them.

"Position, income, resources, connections—all of these were provided by me."

"I give it to you because you are useful, and because you are obedient."

"But if one day you feel that you've grown up and want to do things behind my back, or have any improper thoughts."

"Then everything you got today will be taken back."

Chen Wen's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He and his brother exchanged a glance and both saw the tension on each other's faces.

The excitement from the reward that had just arrived vanished in an instant.

The two finally understood that Shen Ze was telling them the rules.

Giving them benefits is a reward.

Taking everything away is also a punishment.

The chairman of Mingzhu Private Bank controls not only their salaries and positions, but also their future.

"Chairman Shen, please rest assured."

Chen Wen immediately stated, "We would never do anything to betray you."

"From now on, we will do whatever you ask us to do."

Chen Wen's younger brother quickly said, "Chairman Shen, we brothers owe our success today entirely to the opportunities you've given us. We would never dare to have any disloyal intentions."

Shen Ze smiled and nodded: "I hope you will remember what you said today."

"Yes."

"There's one more thing."

Shen Ze casually closed the file: "Shen Jianjun and Sun Mei will be coming to see you soon."

Chen Wen's expression shifted: "They'll come over about the loan extension and the mine issue?"

"good."

"So what should I do?"

"Bring them here."

Shen Ze raised an eyebrow and smiled, "If they cause trouble in your office, you don't need to argue with them."

"Let them say everything they want to say, then bring them to see me."

Chen Wen nodded immediately: "Understood."

……

After half an hour.

A black sedan was parked in front of Mingzhu Private Bank.

Shen Jianjun sat in the back seat and did not get out of the car immediately.

He looked out the car window at the huge sign outside the bank, his face full of exhaustion.

A month ago, he frequented top-tier clubs, upscale hotels, and private banquets.

Wherever I go, people will come forward to greet me.

But now, he has to come to the bank in person and ask a deputy general manager for help.

Even more ridiculous is that his assets will soon be disposed of by the bank.

This car, this villa, those once-proud properties.

I'm afraid we won't be able to keep them.
