Chapter 952: The Abrupt Rise of Best Actor Shen (11)
When Shen Liangchuan arrived at the Shen family’s old home, the Senior Master was seated on the sofa reading the newspapers.
The moment the Senior Master saw his grandson, he beamed and pointed at the sofa seat in front. “Take a seat.”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his head and sat down.
The Senior Master looked at him for a moment and then went straight to the point, “I’d like to hand over half of the Shen family’s assets for you to manage, if you were to agree to come back. What do you think?”
He frowned.
Standing up and looking at the young man, the Senior Master continued, “Liangchuan, I’ve been waiting for your return for eight years! Are you going to keep rejecting me?”
Half of the Shen family’s assets was a substantial bait that anyone would have found irresistible.
But unexèctedly, Shen Liangchuan had declined a few times in the past.
He had thought initially that if he severed ties with the Shen family, things would be fine and life would be good.
But who would have expected that Shen Xiu would time and again force them into a corner, so that he now had no choice but to do this?
Besides…
The Shen family’s assets belonged to Shen Xiu by right and would have gone to Shen Zihao eventually.
Hence, he had never vied for them.
However, now…
If the assets were to go to that man and his mistress…
Shen Liangchuan was most unwilling.
At this thought, Shen Liangchuan raised his gaze slowly and said, “I’ll do it on one condition.”
The Senior Master Shen’s eyes lit up. “Say it!”
Even if there was a whole list of conditions, the Senior Master would agree to it without hesitation.
The Senior Master was in his late 70s and would turn 80 soon.
He had been holding on and struggling, unable to let go of things because there hadn’t been a qualified successor.
Shen Xiu’s capabilities were limited and the old man didn’t trust him at all.
But Shen Liangchuan…
This grandchild was the apple of the Senior Master’s eye!
If it weren’t for the fact that he was too young and needed more experience, the Senior Master would have handed all of the family’s assets over to him.
Even the thought of this brought a sparkle and liveliness to the old man’s eyes.
On that promise, Shen Liangchuan added unhurriedly, “You cannot limit me in whatever I wish to do.”
Not to limit him.
He meant…
“You wish to continue your acting career?”
The Senior Master frowned.
He looked at Shen Liangchuan and considered the young man’s assets. Although it was insignificant compared to what the Shen family had, for any ordinary person, it would have been an impressive feat to get from penniless to that in a matter of just eight years.
Casting his gaze down, Shen Liangchuan said, “I don’t like to be limited, you already know that.”
Sighing, the Senior Master remarked, “What’s the attraction in show business? It’s a waste of time… but nevermind, I’m old and don’t understand the ways of the young. I’ll let you have your way as long as you come back.”
After saying that, he quickly added, “See you at the board meeting tomorrow!”
Shen Liangchuan stood up, straightened his clothes and headed off.
From behind, no one would have been able to tell that the man’s leg was injured.
This was the typical Shen Liangchuan. He was one who would never show weakness, voice any complaints, or show any signs of pain.
And this was what the Senior Master liked most about him!
–
At the board meeting on the following day.
In a building standing tall amidst Beijing’s most prestigious and expensive land.
This development belonged to the Shen Family Corporation.
Shen Xiu was frowning as he stepped out of his car. He asked his secretary, “Any idea why Senior Master called for this meeting?”
The secretary shook her head in response. “I have no idea. We were all taken by surprise when Assistant Xu informed us this morning.”
Shen Xiu snorted impatiently and said, “The older the Senior Master gets, the more troublesome! This is ridiculous.”
