The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

They've taken the "pull up your pants and then ignore me" tactic to the extreme!

But what happened today?

Did the sun rise in the west?

This scoundrel not only thoughtfully invited her to lunch, but even brought up the matter himself.

Could it be...

Just as Mu Xianmin's mind was wandering, and he was even beginning to dream of a certain possibility...

Then very quickly...

She knew she was overthinking things...

Ding Xin swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the red wine beside him, drank about half a glass to moisten his throat, and explained, "It's like this..."

......

Chapter 555 The Tragedy of a Powerful Financial Family

Ding Xin made no attempt to hide anything from Mu Xianmin.

He recounted every single detail of what happened at the meeting, leaving nothing out...

This included the little incident at the beginning of the meeting, the merger of the "Golden City" project, and the whole process of how he finally ruthlessly ripped them off.

certainly...

He also emphasized the urgent psychological state of Chen Xingjun and Zhao Taiwu.

In Ding Xin's heart...

He felt that it would be best if Mu Xianmin knew the answer!

Even if she didn't know, with her intelligence and wisdom, she would surely be able to analyze some clues.

after all...

Whether it's based on memories of another time and space, or on long-term experiences in this world.

Ding Xindu knew very well...

Mu Xianmin is a very intelligent woman!

In particular, her ability to see the big picture from small details is something that even Ding Xin admires greatly.

After hearing what he said...

There was no rush to analyze or provide any answers.

Instead, she subconsciously rolled her eyes at Ding Xin.

snort!

She knew it!

This scoundrel is being unusually attentive; he must have ulterior motives!

hateful...

She had been looking forward to nothing for nothing!

After a moment of smugness...

She picked up the glass of red wine beside her, took a small sip, and used it to calm herself down.

Then...

Her eyes lowered slightly as she began to try and organize her thoughts...

Combining the information revealed in Ding Xin's words with some intelligence she already knew, she began to seriously analyze the possibilities...

Ding Xin did not urge her.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, he continued to devour the steak in front of him.

Given his current physical condition and energy expenditure...

I'm really hungry at mealtimes, so I usually eat rather roughly.

A few minutes later...

Just as Ding Xin was about to start eating his fifth steak...

Mu Xianmin finally reacted!

She turned her head slightly, first observing Ding Xin, who was wolfing down his food, with interest for a while, before smiling mysteriously and saying, "Xin, I think I know why those two were in such a hurry!"

"Oh?"

Ding Xin picked up a napkin from the side, wiped his greasy mouth, and asked with a smile, "Why is that?"

"I suspect the root of the problem still lies with you..."

This time, Mu Xianmin explained it in great detail.

As she explained in detail, Ding Xin gradually understood her meaning...

Or...

Now I understand why Chen Xingjun and Zhao Taiwu agreed to his conditions so easily.

I learned from Mu Xianmin...

Don't be fooled by the size and influence of Shunyang Group, a top-tier conglomerate.

As the next successor of the group, Chen Xingjun should be enjoying immense success.

But that's not actually the case...

to be honest...

His position as heir is not secure; in fact, it is already in a precarious state!

That's right...

Chen Xingjun's father is indeed Chen Yongji, the current chairman of Shunyang Group, and Chen Xingjun is also the only son of Chairman Chen Yongji.

Logically speaking...

Chen Xingjun's position as successor should be as secure as a rock.

But that's not actually the case...

The main reason is that Chen Yongji, the second-generation chairman, is simply incomparable to Chen Yangzhe, the founder of Shunyang Group and the first-generation chairman.

The reason is simple...

The second-generation chairman, Chen Yongji, is far from sufficient in terms of both his own strength and his prestige within the group!

The reason why Chairman Chen Yangzhe was able to have absolute control over Shunyang Group was because of his status as the founder and his absolute control over the entire group's shares!

You could say...

Back then, no one in the entire Shunyang Group dared to disobey Chen Yangzhe!

Everyone had no choice but to obey every decision Chen Yangzhe made unconditionally!

They were truly like local emperors who held the power of life and death!

However...

When it was Chen Yongji's turn to become the president, the situation was completely different.

Although he now has the management rights of the entire group, the shares he actually controls have been divided into pieces!

Chen Xingjun's second uncle, aunt, and cousin all received a share of the profits.

in other words...

At this point, Chen Yongji simply did not have the power to make the final decision!

If it weren't for his mother, Chen Yangzhe's first wife, still holding some shares in the group and having clearly stated that she would fully support Chen Yongji...

He might not even be able to keep the operating rights!

Let me tell you one thing...

The current Shun Yang Group belongs to the entire Chen family rather than to Chen Yongji!

In a sense, Chen Yongji was merely the patriarch elected by the Chen family, and even then, he held the position rather reluctantly...

My brothers and sisters are all watching me intently from the sidelines!

In this way...

This has led to a rather awkward problem.

If Chan Wing-kee wants to smoothly pass on the chairmanship to Chan Sing-chun...

It's not that simple!

Currently...

There are only two options to choose from...
