Chapter 65:
The news of Shen Cheng's investment failure was quickly known by the company's top executives, which led to a lot of secret discussions. Once Anke's company is confirmed to go bankrupt, not only will all of Shen's investments go to waste, but a series of unpredictable financial risks will follow. The people on the board of directors received the news and called to inquire about the specific situation. At this time, they obviously felt that Shen Ji was more reliable than Shen Cheng, and the phone calls all came to Shen Ji.
Shen Ji had to pay attention to the exact news of Anke and deal with the members of the board of directors. He just felt overwhelmed, but Shen Cheng, despite the name of the investment director, no matter what he asked Unable to say why, he could only bring Lu Gesen in again and again, and while Shen Ji was irritable, he couldn't help but reprimanded Shen Cheng a few words.
Shen Cheng was originally remorseful for his investment mistakes, and he was moved to see Shen Ji cleaning up the mess for himself, but the people on the board of directors regarded him as nothing and called Shen Ji directly. At this time, Shen Cheng faintly felt a dissatisfaction in his heart. Feelings of remorse, touching, and dissatisfaction were mixed together, and when Shen Ji ruthlessly reprimanded him in front of his assistant, it turned into an inexplicable complex emotion. Shen Cheng almost blurted out, "Yes, I lost money for the Shen family, don't you think you have lost money, eldest brother? Since you all think I don't understand anything, why do you want me to be the general manager of the Shen family? position? Do you want to treat me as a puppet?"
Shen Cheng's words made Shen Ji stunned there. He actually regretted Shen Cheng after he said it. He didn't want to blame Shen Cheng for his investment failure, even his father couldn't guarantee that every decision would make money in the market. He was just dissatisfied with Shen Cheng's questions about this investment plan, and he needed Lu Gesen to remind him of everything.
Shen Ji instinctively lowered his face, "A Cheng."
But seeing that Shen Ji's sunk face was exactly the same as when he was dissatisfied with him before, Shen Cheng's dissipated courage gathered again. This is the case every time, the big brother reprimands himself with this expression every time. Shen Cheng didn't even think about it and continued, "Am I right? Whether it's my eldest brother or my father, don't they treat me as a puppet? They say I'm the general manager of the Shen family, what's the matter? I need you to make up your mind. In my father's mind, I'm just a temporary replacement. Something happened to Yun Rou, my father put me in the position of general manager regardless of whether I could do it or not. Now that Yun Rou's matter has passed, My father didn't ask me at all, he just asked me to make room for you. What my father does is to revolve around you. Since I was a child, what am I in my father's eyes?"
The more Shen Cheng said, the more excited he became, ignoring Shen Ji's ugly face, "Eldest brother, you are the eldest son, you want to inherit the family business of the Shen family, since your grandfather and father have favored you, this is not the case. I said it. You are good at everything, you are excellent, you are likable, and I can do nothing. Since I know I can't, why do you want me to do it, just to let my incompetence set off your big brother? "
Shen Cheng didn't know when he started to have this idea, since he was a child, he was used to standing by the excellent Shen Ji as a foil. Xi, he didn't feel anything. He knew what he was capable of, he had no idea about Shen Shi, and he also knew that depending on his elder brother's love for him, he could never treat himself badly, and his life was actually not bad. But one day, the always-excellent eldest brother suddenly made a mistake, and he was pushed into the position of general manager by his father when he was caught off guard. He felt that he couldn't do it, and his father just said lightly that he was just a name, and he still had to rely on his elder brother to make up his mind.
He didn't think it was anything at first, but as the people around him reminded him again and again, he is now the general manager of the Shen family, and he should take his own responsibilities, and Not relying on Shen Ji everywhere. He began to learn to make up his own mind, he began to get in touch with Shen's management, and he began to hear praise from everyone in the company. He found that this kind of feeling was not bad. It turned out that it was not only the big brother, but he could also do well, and he could be just like the big brother. He invested in Anke with great anticipation. He was confident that he would be successful, but in just a few days, he was beaten back to his original shape, and it was not even as good as before.
Shen Cheng didn't know what he said. Seeing Shen Ji's expression getting more and more ugly, he took a step back subconsciously.
Shen Ji only felt a chill in his heart and looked at Shen Cheng quietly, unable to say a word.
The two brothers were facing each other when an exclamation suddenly came from the door, "Chairman."
Shen Ji reacted first and opened the door directly. At the door of the office, Father Shen fell to the ground and he didn't know about the personnel. Wang Changlin and the others surrounded Father Shen anxiously. As Shen Ji came out, everyone suddenly looked embarrassed, and they all listened to what Shen Cheng said just now.
Shen Ji didn't care about everyone's expressions, after ordering the driver to prepare the car, he followed the bodyguard to the hospital in a hurry.
As the crowd dispersed in the office, Shen Cheng stood there blankly, wondering if he should follow.
The news of Shen's father being hospitalized reached Shen Xi's ears again.
Looking at Li Mingxuan's worried look after hanging up the phone, Shen Xi said casually, "What? Mr. Shen's condition is not good?" Since the last time, Shen Xi has refused to The word for Shen Dehan's father is always referred to by Mr. Shen every time.
Li Mingxuan sat beside Shen Xi and nodded, "Uncle is still in a coma, the doctor said that this time the situation is more critical."
Shen Xi didn't care, every time Shen's father was hospitalized, he was in a critical condition, and he was still alive after two days. The last time Shen Rong's matter was so big, it's not like Father Shen didn't have any problems.
Seeing Shen Xi's indifference, Li Mingxuan sighed in his heart, "It's not all about my uncle, Shen's recent investment made a mistake, I'm afraid it will cause Shen's turmoil, At this moment, my uncle is hospitalized again, A Ji and A Cheng have conflicts again, and my mother is very worried."
Shen's investment made a mistake, and Shen Xi knew what it was. As soon as the news of Anke came out today, Shen Xi immediately realized that Lu Gesen had definitely received the inside story of Anke in advance, so he would design Shen's investment in Anke. But what puzzled him was how Lugson had hooked up with the people in the investment department.
As for the conflict between Shen Ji and Shen Cheng, Shen Xi thought, "Big brother, second brother?"
Li Mingxuan frowned slightly, "Mother didn't tell me the specifics, only that my uncle got sick this time because he was stimulated by hearing them quarrel."
Shen Xi sneered, and said casually, "Is it because of Shen's quarrel?"
Shen Xi asked directly, Li Mingxuan smiled wryly and acquiesced, "Acheng has grown up and has his own ideas."
Shen Xi scoffed at Li Mingxuan's remarks and pointed out directly, "Second brother wants to compete with the eldest brother for control of the Shen family?"
Although Shen Bixue didn't say it clearly, the words revealed that Ah Cheng had this idea. Li Mingxuan hesitated and said vaguely, "Maybe."
Shen Xi sneered at the corner of her mouth. And what about the brothers? In front of the huge desire for money, no matter how deep the relationship is, it is not vulnerable. The father guarded himself for a long time, but he didn't expect that his two favorite sons were the first to conflict. No wonder he was so angry that he was hospitalized.
Shen Xi was too lazy to listen to the Shen family's affairs, and took the remote control to change a channel, but thought of Li Mingxuan beside her.
Ming Fei is still young and has a strong interest in sculpture. If one day he suddenly becomes interested in Li, what will happen to Li Mingxuan?
Shen Xi's trance was seen by Li Mingxuan, and she vaguely guessed Shen Xi's thoughts at this time, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Xi is worried about me and Mingfei?"
Shen Xi was stunned, the surprise flashed in her eyes, but Li Mingxuan caught one. Shen Xi originally just had such a thought, but when Li Mingxuan said this, she felt as if she was worried, and she couldn't help but feel awkward.
Li Mingxuan was overjoyed, reached out to hold Shen Xi, and said seriously, "Me and Mingfei will not have this day, although Li is very important to me, it is not the most important thing , in my heart there is something more important than the Li family."
Shen Xi's eyes were not completely convinced, Li Mingxuan smiled, and then said, "You know, like A Ji, I have been trained as an heir since childhood. In my heart, I have always regarded inheriting the Li family as a matter of course until I graduated from college. At that time, I already knew my sexual orientation, so I was faced with a choice. Should I conceal my sexual orientation, marry a wife and have children and take over the Li family, or right? Parents admit their sexual orientation, even if they lose their inheritance rights? I thought and thought, but I chose to confess to my parents. At that time, I was ready to give up my inheritance rights and stay abroad, and even planned to start a business with a few classmates. Right there Once I thoroughly figured it out, Lee's is very important, but there are more important things for me."
Speaking of this, Li Mingxuan couldn't help but lean over and kiss Shen Xi, his eyes became hot, "What's more, now that we are together, Li will only give it to Mingfei's children in the future. He If he likes it, I wish he would take over as soon as possible. In this way, we can choose to live abroad, find a place that supports same-sex marriage, and live in the sunshine with integrity."
Li Mingxuan's tone did not sound like a joke, Shen Xi couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and there was a daze in her eyes. Are you going to marry abroad? It sounds like a good idea, but shouldn't marriage be two people who love each other together?
The longer she is with Li Mingxuan, the more and more Shen Xi is confused about the relationship between him and herself. From the beginning, he just needed such warmth, and now he doesn't seem to know whether he needs this warmth or this person?
Li Mingxuan's feelings are like warm water, and Shen Xi feels like the frog boiled in warm water, because he was greedy for the warmth at first, but now he actually feels that he is living with Li Mingxuan like this It's not bad for a lifetime, does that count as liking?
The word like flashed through her mind, and Shen Xi suddenly came to her senses.
The relationship between him and Li Mingxuan was not as warm as they showed, and there was a Shen family between them. He couldn't give Li Mingxuan what he wanted, and likewise, he couldn't give Li Mingxuan what he wanted.
Shen Xi came back to her senses and avoided the topic, "Couldn't my cousin visit Mr. Shen?"
Li Mingxuan's longing eyes slowly faded, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. There seems to be something between Shen Xi and him, so that he can't see through it. Reaching out and rubbing Shen Xi's hair affectionately, Li Mingxuan knew that Shen Xi was running away, and whenever he encountered a topic he didn't want to talk about, he would bring out his uncle to destroy the atmosphere.
Thinking of giving Shen Xi a little more time, Li Mingxuan said, "I'll go with my father tomorrow."
Shen Xi nodded indifferently, and changed the topic casually.
Father Shen was in a coma for a long time this time, and didn't wake up until the middle of the night.
He opened his eyes forcefully, and the white eyes reminded him where he was. Looking around habitually, Father Shen tried to find Shen Ji's shadow, but after looking around, he found that the ward was empty, and he was alone.
The words he heard before fainting flashed through his mind. Father Shen struggled to sit up, but was horrified to find that something was wrong with his body, and he could not feel the existence of the left half.
Father Shen stretched out his right hand in a panic, trying to grab the railing of the hospital bed and sit up, but he tried too hard for a while, and with a "dong" sound, the whole person fell to the ground.
Severe pain came from the body, the icy floor pressed against the body, and the boundless coolness spread in the body. Father Shen lay there panting heavily, his face twisted with force, it wasn't his illusion, but his left body really lost consciousness.
The news of Shen's father's stroke was notified by Shen Bixue by phone at three in the morning.
The harsh ringtone of the mobile phone rang, and Shen Xi buried her head in Li Mingxuan's arms irritably.
Li Mingxuan patted Shen Xi soothingly and answered the phone.
Hang up the phone, Li Mingxuan looked at Shen Xi and said softly, "Uncle has a stroke, and the left half of his body has lost consciousness. The doctor said that in a situation like my uncle, it may take a long time to recover from occupational therapy. It's the way it was before, but in the short term, my uncle won't be able to act as usual."
All of Shen Xi's drowsiness was driven away by this news, and she quietly lay in Li Mingxuan's arms, hiding her complicated expression.
Li Mingxuan couldn't guess Shen Xi's current mood, he slowly reached out to pat him, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi?"
Shen Xi agreed sullenly, got up and quickly put on her clothes, motioning for Li Mingxuan to go to the hospital together.
Li Mingxuan glanced at Shen Xi quietly and walked beside him.
"Father." "Uncle."
The two greeted Father Li gently, Father Li nodded, and Li Mingfei quietly rubbed against Li Mingxuan.
"Big brother, cousin."
Li Mingxuan nodded and asked in a low voice, "Where's your mother?"
Li Mingfei replied in a low voice, "Uncle has been losing his temper all the time, and my mother was with him inside, and we were all kicked out."
Li Mingxuan looked around, but did not find Shen Cheng, "Where's Ah Cheng?"
Li Mingfei shook his head, "I don't know, cousin Shen Cheng never came."
Li Mingxuan's brows furrowed, and he was about to speak to Shen Ji when his father suddenly shouted from the ward, "Get out."
The door was gently opened, and Shen Bixue walked out with a worried look, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Shen Bixue, and they all gathered around.
Shen Xi stood quietly at the end, looking straight in through the gap in the ward door. Father Shen looked over with a gloomy face, Shen Xi's eyes met Father Shen's, the corners of his mouth quickly curved into an arc, and he said inaudibly, "Retribution!"
In the ward, Father Shen's face was twisted together.
