You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

The clear, crisp voice resonated throughout the entire golden dome hall via a high-end microphone.

The vibrations seemed to cause the huge crystal chandelier overhead to emit a faint hum.

This statement makes no attempt to conceal its domineering and biased nature.

They directly presented the entire power and authority of Jianghai City to that man.

The air in the entire tiered conference room froze completely in that instant.

Even the sound of everyone breathing was abruptly cut off by the unreasonable oppressive power of this conglomerate.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang violently shattered the deathly silence of the meeting hall.

The head of the Qian family, who was sitting in the first row, slammed his hand on the solid wood table in front of him.

The glass of warm water in front of him was jolted and jumped up.

Water splashed out and landed on the cuffs of his expensive haute couture suit.

But he didn't bother wiping it off at all.

His face, covered in age spots, turned a deep liver color from the shock and anger.

He suddenly stood up, pointing at Shen Wanzhou on the stage, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

"Nonsense! This is utterly ridiculous!"

The Qian family patriarch's voice was hoarse and shrill, carrying the arrogance and resentment of someone who had long held a high position.

The spittle splattered on the conference table, making it look particularly comical.

"Shen family girl, even if you've been blinded by handsome looks, you should still know your place!"

"This is the Jianghai City General Chamber of Commerce, not your child's playground!"

"The economic lifeline of Jianghai City cannot be so easily handed over to an outsider with just a few words from you."

With the Qian family patriarch taking the lead in launching an attack.

The heads of several established families nearby also seemed to have found an outlet for their frustrations.

They all slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

The chair creaked against the marble floor tiles.

"Old Qian is right! If Old Master Shen knew you gave away the Shen family's fortune as dowry, he'd be so angry he'd jump out of his sickbed!"

"Who does Chen Yuan think he is?"

A portly middle-aged director stepped forward, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Chen Yuan, who was sitting in the third row.

"Star Ventures has indeed shown some skill these past few months, but that's just the luck of nouveau riche!"

"When it comes to true heritage, what does he have to compare with the centuries-old families present here?"

"In the end, he's nothing more than a butler kept in the backyard by your Shen family!"

"Someone who rose to power through women..."

The man paused, then gritted his teeth and spat out three words.

"A gigolo!"

These three words are like a rough file.

It tugs back and forth in the air of the hall.

The representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises sitting in the corner all hunched over.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he didn't dare to breathe.

This is a battle of titans between top-tier conglomerates.

They felt it was too much to even have the right to sit in on the proceedings.

If you even get involved in something slightly, the company will have to declare bankruptcy tomorrow.

Shen Wanzhou stood on the podium.

Facing this group of cunning and aggressive old foxes in the audience.

Her hands, which had been resting on the edge of the table, were trembling slightly.

Surprisingly, it stabilized at that moment.

On the back of his fair hand, bluish veins bulged slightly.

She did not avoid those malicious gazes.

His peach blossom eyes were slightly lowered, and a layer of frost gathered in his eyes that made people afraid to look directly at him.

She coldly swept her gaze over the head of the Qian family and the middle-aged director.

"The 45% share under my Shen family name is my, Shen Wanzhou's, private property."

"I can give it to whomever I want."

"If any of you feel dissatisfied..."

She leaned slightly forward, her voice cold and devoid of any warmth.

"You can take the money and buy out all of Xingchen Venture Capital and Shen's assets."

"As long as you have the ability."

This merciless rebuttal was like a resounding slap in the face.

It was a solid slap in the face to these veteran chaebols.

Acquire Shen's Group and Xingchen Venture Capital?

What a joke!

The combined cash flow of these two money-devouring behemoths could buy up the entire underwear of every family present ten times over!

"Shen Wanzhou! You're too arrogant!"

The Zhao family patriarch, who had remained silent until now, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He braced himself on the table with both hands and slowly stood up.

A pair of cloudy, triangular eyes stared intently at the girl on the stage.

"Do you think you can control everything in Jianghai City just because you have two companies?"

"The chamber of commerce is all about intricate networks of interests and checks and balances between various powerful families!"

The Zhao family patriarch's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

"I'm putting my words here today."

He glanced around at the several allied families around him and raised his voice.

"If Chen Yuan, this wild boy of unknown origin, is elected chairman of the chamber of commerce."

"Our Zhao family, the Qian family, along with the seventeen core manufacturing enterprises in the Chengnan business district."

"Tomorrow morning, we will all withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Sever all supply chains and logistics channels!"

"I want to see how Chen Yuan will stabilize Jianghai City's economy without our support!"

"Can he really hold onto this chairman's position?"

These words were spoken.

The air pressure in the entire hall instantly dropped below freezing.

This is no longer a business election.

This is a blatant attempt to force and threaten the government.

Once these established families collectively withdraw from the association and cut off the supply chain.

Jianghai City's economy will regress by at least ten years, and countless grassroots businesses will face annihilation.

These old men intend to use the lifeline of the entire city to put pressure on Chen Yuan.

All eyes turned once again to Chen Yuan, who was sitting in the third row.

From beginning to end.

Faced with the insults and threats from this group of old foxes.

Chen Yuan didn't even change his sitting posture by the slightest.

He rested one hand on the armrest of the chair, his fingers long and strong.

His deep, dark eyes calmly observed everything.

It's like watching a farcical play.

There was no anger or resentment.

There was no panic at the threat.

That feeling of being in control, of being high above and relaxed.

Instead, it made the furious family heads in the audience feel inexplicably irritable and uneasy.

The Zhao family patriarch looked at Chen Yuan's nonchalant and unyielding demeanor.

He felt a surge of evil fire rushing straight to the top of his head.

He stepped out from behind the table and strode to the side of the aisle.

There were two rows of seats between them.

The Zhao family patriarch pointed at Chen Yuan's nose, sneering repeatedly: "You, a mere live-in son-in-law who only knows how to flip a wok, think you can ride on the necks of us old bones?"
