Chapter 485 - 485: Making Concessions

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“This is no longer important.” Mei Shu’s expression was indifferent, as if she and Mei Yun did not share the closest father-daughter relationship.

Mei Yun’s heart raced, and he almost dropped the pen he held. “Shu’er, you must believe me. Dad knows that I’ve let you down all these years. If you want to retaliate against Wang Yue, I have no objection. 1 hate her just as much. But don’t harbor resentment towards Dad, okay?”

Mei Shu remained indifferent and said coldly, “Of course, you let me down, and you let down Afeng and the others. But the one who you should apologize to the most is my mom!”

Mei Yun’s eyes blinked, and a tear rolled down.

He hastily looked up, only to see his own biological daughter staring at him with a disdainful expression.

In that moment, his heart violently trembled in his chest, a pain that made his throat feel bitter.

“Sign it.” Mei Shu, without any emotion, said, “Rest assured, after all, you are the biological father of Afeng and me. Considering the sincere love between you and Mom back then, I will let you enjoy your later years.”

With words at this point, Mei Yun found it impossible to ask for forgiveness.

He lowered his head, gazing at the transfer agreement, and his vision became somewhat blurred and murky. However, his ears kept replaying Mei Shu’s cold words.

In the blink of an eye, Mei Yun’s mind was filled with memories of the time he spent with Bai Ling.

They founded the company together, expanded it together.

They once enjoyed the beautiful future under the stars and made promises of eternal love.

But in the end, he broke his promises first, leading to Bai Ling losing her life in vain.

Ultimately, it was all his fault.

Mei Yun no longer sought anything else now. He just hoped that the children Bai Ling left behind wouldn’t suffer any more harm from others and could grow up peacefully.

After a long time, Mei Yun’s fingers finally moved, and he signed his name on the agreement.

From now on, the position of the Mei Group’s president changed hands completely.

After Mei Shu took over, she became even busier. She swiftly dealt with those in the company who refused to accept her authority, then quickly arranged the first task.

This time, she aimed to cooperate with Kangwei Group and completely extinguish the hope of the Shen family.

While Mei Shu was busy here, Shen Yuan on the other side was not idle either.

She needed to resolve the crisis of the Shen Group.

The secretary couldn’t think of any other solutions. Moreover, the old lady was urgently awaiting money for medical treatment, so their only option was to seek help from the Lu family.

“Miss, why don’t we ask Mr. Lu for help? He now only recognizes you as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family and will definitely be willing to help you.”

“But 1 don’t want to rely on the Lu family so early.” Shen Yuan did want to use the Lu family to continue running the Shen family’s business. However, seeking help from the Lu family too quickly meant she would be in a disadvantaged position in her relationship with Lu Si.

Lu Si already didn’t like her much, and if she couldn’t grasp a certain degree of initiative, it would be even more difficult to get Lu Si to help her willingly.

“Let’s think of other ways first.” Shen Yuan thought deeply, tapping her fingers on the table subconsciously. “Let’s try contacting Kangwei Group again.”

“But the CEO of Kangwei Group said if we can’t immediately pay the penalty, they will pursue our legal responsibilities.” The secretary disagreed. “I think the best way now is to ask Mr. Lu Ting for help.”

“No.” Shen Yuan interrupted him, “Go contact the CEO of Kangwei Group. Tell them we won’t pay the penalty, but the problem lies with the Shen family. We are willing to compensate Kangwei Group’s losses with a batch of better quality new products from the Shen family. In addition, if they agree, we are also willing to give up one percent of the profit. Furthermore, in our next cooperation, we can offer a certain discount.”

“But if we do this, our profit will be pushed to the lowest, and we will definitely lose money on this deal!” The secretary felt regret. The liquidity of funds in the Shen family’s hands was not much, and if they made another deal that would incur losses, bankruptcy might be just around the corner.

“At present, losing money is not the most important thing for us. What’s more important is that we cannot lose this deal. Once our cooperation with Kangwei Group falls through, all our subsequent orders will be affected. Just go and convey this message.”

Shen Yuan had made up her mind to use this cooperation with Kangwei Group as her first move after taking office. She absolutely would not allow herself to fail.

The secretary couldn’t convince her otherwise and could only follow her orders to contact the CEO of Kangwei Group.

He wasn’t worried that Kangwei would refuse, as the level of discount offered was something only their Shen family could provide.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the people from Kangwei actually replied saying they needed to reconsider.

“Why do they need to reconsider?” Shen Yuan asked in disbelief.

The secretary also found it strange, “Shall I go inquire? Maybe Kangwei’s people have found another cooperation partner.”

Shen Yuan’s tone became urgent and stern, “Go check now. If that’s the case, tell Kangwei’s people that we are willing to offer an additional one percent profit concession. We are not afraid of losing money.. We must continue cooperating with Kangwei!”
