Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 280 Old Fox

Xie's old house.

Ye Xiangan gently stirred the bowl with the chopsticks in his hand. The aroma of the food lingered around his nose, but failed to arouse his appetite.

Ever since he last saw Shen Qianhe in the western restaurant, he has been distracted and even her shadow appears in his dreams.

He couldn't tell why, but he always felt that there was an indescribable beauty in Shen Qianhe now.

Different from the timid and cautious girl before.

Shen Qianhe is now bright and outgoing, exuding a wild beauty.

Her eyes were no longer evasive, her smile was no longer reserved, and her every move carried a charm that could not be ignored.

Her stubbornness, her resistance, and even the disdain in her eyes, made him feel unprecedentedly excited.

Even the way he curses is so exciting.

The slap in the western restaurant successfully aroused Ye Xiangan's desire to conquer as a man.

If it weren't for my uncle's interference, Shen Qianhe might have been his wife now.

However, now that my uncle has become a vegetable, Shen Qianhe should remarry...

"Hurry up and eat. We need to be there early for the board meeting this afternoon."

Xie Xian's voice came slowly from the table opposite.

"Mom, can I not attend the board meeting?"

Ye Xiangan explained carefully: "My farm abroad is just starting up. If I manage it well, the future profits will be considerable..."

"What the hell!"

Xie Xian frowned and her tone suddenly became stern, "The little money you worked so hard to earn is not even enough for Xie's daily profit."

She rolled her eyes at Ye Xiangan and cursed him with some disapproval:

"Before Xie Jincheng was here, you didn't live up to your expectations. I saw that you had no chance, so I let you do whatever you wanted. Now, can't you see the current situation of the Xie family clearly?"

"Your eldest uncle passed away early, your second uncle was devoted to art and not interested in the family business, and the two sisters Xie Wen and Xie Meng are not cut out for business. If you can't even seize the opportunity that's now delivered to your door, what great things can you accomplish?"

After hearing what his mother said, Ye Xiangan fell silent.

In fact, what my mother said makes sense.

In the past, Xie Jincheng controlled the Xie family, and he, as a relative by marriage, was always marginalized.

However, now the situation has changed. If we don’t give it a try, who knows whether we will succeed or fail?

What's more, what he wants now is not just Xie's.

Also, his charming and feisty aunt.

"Mom, Zhang Deshun..."

Ye Xiangan raised his head and asked tentatively, "He has been quite active recently. Should we be on guard against him?"

"Zhang Deshun?"

Xie Xian sneered, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

"He is nothing but a clown. He climbed to his current position by relying on the power of the Xie family. Does he really think he can turn the world upside down? Don't worry, no matter how much he tries, he will only be making things easier for us. At today's board meeting, I will let him know that the things of the Xie family are not something that an outsider like him can touch."

......

"The latest news is that the Xie Group has recently experienced a sharp drop in stock prices due to internal turmoil, and several major investors have announced their withdrawal of investment. This afternoon, the group will hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to re-elect a new group leader..."

On the radio, the host's voice reached Shen Qianhe's ears word by word.

She held the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight ahead, and at the moment the green light was about to turn red, she braked the car steadily.

The tires rubbed against the ground, making a slight sound.

My head hurts a little, probably because I didn’t sleep well last night.

She rubbed her temples gently and watched the countdown numbers on the traffic light in front of her jump up little by little.

The red numbers looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight. Shen Qianhe took out a pair of sunglasses from a storage box nearby and put them on.

"......According to insiders, the candidate for the new director is most likely Zhang Deshun, who is currently in charge of the real estate sector. He has extensive experience within the group. If the rumors are true, his appointment may bring new opportunities to the Xie Group..."

When she heard Zhang Deshun's name, the bald, slightly fat old man she met in the hospital last time flashed through her mind.

He was once Mr. Xie's most capable assistant and a loyal minister who had followed the old man to build his empire.

In that turbulent era, Zhang Deshun made great contributions to the rise of the Xie Group with his extraordinary courage and strategy.

Mr. Xie thought highly of him and even publicly called him "the right-hand man of the Xie family."

Later, as the Xie Group continued to grow, Zhang Deshun's status also rose.

Not only does he have a significant say within the group, but through a series of shrewd investments and equity operations, he has made the Zhang family the non-family with the largest shareholding in the Xie Group.

The influence of the Zhang family gradually penetrated into every corner of the group. Even in some areas, the decision-making power of the Zhang family was almost on par with that of the Xie family.

Shen Qianhe remembered that when he was at the Shen family, he had heard Shen Wenyuan mention Zhang Deshun.

He said that Zhang Deshun was ambitious and ruthless, and would do anything to achieve his goals.

Not only did he want to take control of the Xie Group, he also wanted to completely change its surname to "Zhang".

Before Xie Jin inherited the position of patriarch, he had fought with him several times.

This person is very good at hiding his talents, is very tactful, and does things flawlessly.

She had heard from Xie Jincheng before that he was involved in the last accident at the Menglai Mine.

Recently, due to his wrong decisions in the Atlanta resort project, the group suffered heavy losses.

Previously, due to the power of the Zhang family and Mr. Xie's favor, Xie Jincheng had never confronted him head-on.

He knew very well that the Zhang family was deeply rooted in the group and any rash action would only alert the enemy.

Therefore, he chose to endure, make plans secretly, and wait for the right opportunity.

Now, the people in the Xie family who can take charge of the overall situation have fallen one after another, and the group is leaderless.

Zhang Deshun, an outsider, was the one who reaped the benefits while the oriole was waiting behind.

During this period, he was active everywhere, bribing and winning over those companies and shareholders who were not on good terms with Xie Jincheng.

Although Xie Xian tried to fight against him, an old fox like him naturally didn't take her seriously.

Taking advantage of the internal turmoil of the Xie family, he gradually expanded his power, even at the cost of damaging the interests of the group to achieve his goals.

He used the resources and influence at his disposal to secretly manipulate stock prices and spread rumors that were unfavorable to the Xie family, attempting to completely undermine the foundation of the Xie Group.

Thinking of this, Shen Qianhe frowned slightly.

No wonder when Xie Jincheng had the surgery that day, Zhang Deshun insisted on being there from beginning to end and refused to leave for a moment.

He was probably afraid that Xie Jincheng's operation would be successful if he left.

It's a pity that he was too eager for quick success.

Looking at Xie Jincheng's attitude today, he seems to be full of murderous intent.

Shen Qianhe shook his head and couldn't help but mourn for Comrade Zhang Deshun in his heart.

I am afraid that today's shareholders' meeting will not be the meeting for his ascent to the top, but the meeting for his fall from power.

This old man who thought he had a sure win probably never really saw Xie Jincheng's strength.

His ambition and greed will eventually push him into the abyss.

And Xie Jincheng's edge has already been ready to be unleashed.
