371 Grandparent and Grandchild Meets

Yun Yiheng started upon hearing these words.

After that, he joyfully spoke, “Of course!”

Shen Yuansong was willing to go to the Chu Family to look for Chu Cichen. If word of this spread, didn’t it mean that the Shen Family wouldn’t pursue what the Chu Family had done to Shen Wanying?

Yun Yiheng had been staying in the Chu Manor all this time and had naturally learned of this matter. Now that he could help bridge their relationship, he was happy to oblige.

This was a good thing for the Chu Family!

Shen Yuansong stood up. “Let us head over there now then!”

Yun Yiheng nodded. “Wait a moment, I have to make a call to my cousin.”

He then called Chu Cichen and explained Shen Yuansong’s purpose for the visit. After Chu Cichen agreed, Yun Yiheng then left together with Shen Yuansong.

Whenever Shen Yuansong went out, he had to be escorted by a large number of guards, including a family doctor for his safety. Hence, five cars of people left together, and Shen Zhong and Shen Chong soon received this news.

Shen Zhong coldly laughed. “Uncle doesn’t mind throwing his face. Our Shen Family is such a large family, yet he wants to lower his head to plead with a junior?”

When they had a discussion with Chu Cichen for the purpose of purchasing the Chu Family’s raw materials, Shen Zhong didn’t personally head over. It was he who had summoned Chu Cichen here.

And given Shen Yuansong’s identity, he actually had to lower himself so much?

This was simply a disgrace.

Shen Chong’s eyes spun around before he laughed. “Uncle isn’t a pure businessman. Have you forgotten that he was once a professor of agriculture science when he was younger? If it wasn’t for him having some health problems, he might still be a bright shining star in the agriculture industry. In the future, after you become the leader, such a thing will never happen again.”

Shen Zhong stared at him. “Will I become the leader? It is still early for that, isn’t it? In addition, don’t you have the intention to become the leader as well?”

Shen Chong immediately stepped closer. “Big brother, since things have come to this point, I’ll make my stance clear. Either of us can be the leader, but we are biological brothers after all. In the future, no matter who uncle chooses, neither of us can act too harshly toward the other.”

Shen Zhong coldly laughed. “Naturally.”

Although Shen Zhong wasn’t very smart, he wasn’t a fool either. He understood that there were only two of them in their generation, and the position of the leader would land in one of their hands sooner or later.

It was just that he didn’t know when that old man would die! The latter was already in his seventies, but he still seemed relatively healthy!

The two brothers each had their own thoughts, and Shen Yuansong knew nothing about these.

At this moment, he had already arrived at Chu Manor.

Chu Cichen personally went out to receive him.

Regardless of the relationship between their two families, a character like Shen Yuansong was still worthy of respect.

When he was young, he had given his all to developing agriculture science and nurturing a bunch of agriculture specialists. In the era where hunger was prevalent, he became a powerful figure that contributed loads to China’s agriculture industry.

Later on, although he had left the industry and had taken over the Shen Family’s business, he was still fond of investing in it. Also, when it came to the pharmaceutical industry, the Shen Corporation could be considered a company with a conscience.

It was a company that was worthy of the trust of the people.

So their leader would surely have an exemplary character.

The only sad thing was that he had no children. Also, because he was busy running the company back then, the education and nurturing of his nephews were lacking, which caused the later generation to be so weak.

Speaking of the Shen Family, Chu Cichen’s evaluation of them was this. Although they were currently the number one family in China, ten years later, if no one stepped up and led them forward, they would be inferior to the Bai Family.

The Bai Family had Bai Xiaojiu, but the Shen Family only had Shen Zhong and Shen Chong. Both of them weren’t qualified to be the next leader. And as for the third generation, they were even more lacking. No one could help Old Master Shen to maintain and support his business empire!

Chu Cichen couldn’t help but sigh with pity for Shen Yuansong.

Hence, when Shen Yuansong arrived, Chu Cichen acted very respectfully and personally walked to Shen Yuansong’s car to open his door for him. “Sir Shen.”

After Shen Yuansong got out of the car, he looked at the Chu Manor before him.

Because it was a newly constructed house, it looked a little lacking. But even so, one could feel the vast imposingness from its outline. He praised, “The Chu Manor’s location is a good one. It is impressive enough!”

Chu Cichen politely replied, “It is inferior to the Shen Manor.”

This was the truth.

After all, the Shen Family’s foundations were here.

However, Shen Yuansong begged to differ. “Not being able to be comparable now doesn’t stand for anything. An old man like me wouldn’t dare to bully a young and capable person like you.”

Chu Cichen modestly replied, “I’m no longer young.”

Shen Yuansong could tell that Chu Cichen’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing. He spoke nothing but the truth albeit in a tactful way, and this caused his admiration of Chu Cichen to increase by a few points. He sighed. “In my eyes, someone at your age is still considered very young. You still have many things you can do.”

Chu Cichen respectfully replied, “Old Master Shen is still as fit as a fiddle and can still live for a long time to watch me do many things.”

Shen Yuansong laughed loudly. “Hahahahaha! Back then, our meeting was too hurried. I didn’t expect a young man like you would have such a side. Your character is to my liking.”

Chu Cichen continued, “Old Master’s past achievements are also worthy of my extreme respect.”

Shen Yuansong immediately understood the meaning of his words. “The past? Am I not worthy of your respect now?”

Chu Cichen laughed. “I still respect your character.”

Shen Yuansong sighed. “I can hear the lines between your words. Although I’m the current Shen Family Leader, I’m too old and cannot personally handle many areas. You have a dispute with Shen Zhong, right?”

Chu Cichen took the chance to speak honestly, “I don’t dare to. Director Shen Zhong wants us to break our legs and give him the raw materials as well as the formula for creating it. It is indeed a little too overbearing.”

After hearing this, Shen Yuansong immediately fell silent.

So, this was the case.

No wonder Chu Cichen was so angry, refusing to cooperate.

However, he still sincerely asked, “You should know that this batch of raw materials concerns the lives of thousands of patients. I personally pay a visit today because I want to apologize for Shen Zhong’s behavior. How about our two families both take a step back and forget about the grudge for now? Let’s work together to overcome this crisis first.”

Chu Cichen pursed his lips. “It’s too late.”

Shen Yuansong continued, “I know you feel aggrieved about this matter. I’m willing to purchase the raw materials at ten times the market price. How about it?”

Ten times the market price was enough to let Chu Cichen profit by hundreds of millions!

Shen Yuansong was determined about this. Even though this would result in a financial loss, he was willing to bear it!

He couldn’t let the patients go without their life-prolonging medicine!

However, Chu Cichen stated, “This isn’t what I meant. I’ve sent the raw materials overseas.”

In China, if a pharmaceutical company wished to be listed, it had to undergo the long process of doing research and tests and various procedures. It would take at least half a year. However, the patients could only endure for half a month at most if they didn’t have the special medicine!

So, he could only choose to produce the medicine overseas before importing it back to the country.

However, Shen Yuansong misunderstood him. He thought that Chu Cichen was doing this to get back at the Shen Family, so he sold the materials to foreign companies overseas! After all, the F country’s raw materials had a problem, and all the other countries lacked the raw materials very much!

Shen Yuansong then angrily waved his hand and cut Chu Cichen off. He pointed at Chu Cichen and scolded him angrily, “Wow, I thought you were merely not going to do the transaction because you were angry with my two nephews as they were too overbearing. I didn’t expect you to be a greedy profit-minded b*stard that ignores the lives of your countrymen! Chu Cichen, do you know what is the reason pharmaceutical companies exist? It isn’t just to make money. The more important thing is that they also have a mission to serve the country’s citizens! Back in my era, your behavior would indicate that you are a traitor to the country!”

After Old Master Shen finished scolding Chu Cichen, he turned and left.

Chu Cichen stood at his original location and didn’t chase after him.

He didn’t wish to talk about the fact that they were going to produce the special medicine. Although he trusted Old Master Shen’s character, this act was after all an act of stealing business from the Shen Family. He was worried that the Shen Family might do something to sabotage his plans.

Old Master Shen angrily walked to the car park and at this moment, the buzz from a motorbike’s engine drifted over.

Shen Ruojing rode her impressive-looking motorbike home, and her bike was coincidentally parked beside Old Master Shen’s car.
