Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

"Sorry, Cheng, Mingde High School needs a sponsorship fee, well, a considerable one."

Shen Zhengshan sat in a swivel chair, tapping his fingers on the table: "You know, the family business is at a critical moment."

If he takes it out, the company's development will definitely be limited.

Shen Cheng froze, his Adam's apple bobbing. He pursed his lips, trying to persuade him: "Dad, but Mingde High School is not only a school with a long history of teachers and students, it is also a gathering place for heirs of the upper-class families in Shanghai."

"If I go in and make friends with them beforehand, it will be beneficial to the company in the future."

As for the company's current limitations, they will be overcome in the future.

The Shen Group is destined to reach the pinnacle of Shanghai.

This is the best way to cultivate Shen Cheng as the successor; short-term losses are worthwhile for the sake of the successor.

With a look of guilt in his eyes, Shen Zhengshan took out a contract from his black leather bag and handed it to Shen Cheng: "I have already signed the new project contract and invested the funds."

It's a newly acquired coal mine that's being developed.

Shen Cheng stared at Shen Zhengshan quietly for a few seconds, then looked down at the signature and company seal on the contract.

His voice was hoarse, and his words were tinged with reproach and accusation: "Dad, why didn't you discuss this with me before making this decision on your own?"

Shen Zhengshan leaned back in his chair, his gaze deep and unsettling: "Acheng, I'm the person in charge of the company, I can make my own decisions." He also questioned him with dissatisfaction.

Apart from his father, no one else could question him.

Shen Cheng misspoke, and he stammered, "I... I didn't mean to criticize you, Dad."

"I just feel it's a pity. If I could have gone to Mingde High School, I would have been in the same school as the heirs of the four major families in Shanghai. You know how beneficial that would be for the company."

But why did it change?

Before today, Shen Cheng was confident that his father would sacrifice the company's interests for him.

Because the company belongs to him.

It's just that it was used earlier than planned.

Shen Zhengshan took back the contract, picked up a pen, and wrote words on the white paper. He sighed, "Acheng, it's all the same no matter where you study."

"You can take the college entrance exam if you attend a public school or any other private school."

"Going to the same university as them will be the same."

Shen Cheng could not disobey the decision of the head of the family. A mocking smile appeared on his lips, it was hard to tell whether it was because his father was no longer as indulgent towards him as before or because he overestimated his own status in the family.

"...OK."

For the first time, Shen Cheng did not greet his father politely as he usually did before leaving.

Shen Zhengshan didn't mind that he had lost his composure. He looked at the door that was being closed gently, and even if he was angry, he still showed him the respect he deserved.

It feels so good to have power in your hands.

He took out a dictionary and began choosing a name for the child in his wife's belly.

Shen Cheng returned to the third floor. His usual calmness stemmed from his gains, but now, his plans had been disrupted.

He complained about his father's shortsightedness.

But if he is not indulged, he cannot even utter a word of complaint directly, because he dares not, because he has not yet inherited the Shen family business.

Because the father has other sons to choose from.

For the first time, Shen Cheng felt that there were too many children in the family, so many that it was annoying.

He kicked off his slippers, flopped heavily onto the bed, pulled the blanket over his head, and sulked.

Ten minutes later.

Shen Cheng used the landline in the house to make a phone call to his grandfather, who was still in his hometown.

Sister Wang knocked on the door and asked him to come in for dinner.

At dinner, Shen Zhuo was the first to notice something was off between his father and Shen Cheng. Even though Shen Cheng cooked the same thing as usual, he still sensed a hint of resentment.

It was Shen Cheng's complaint about his father.

His gaze darted back and forth until it met Shen Cheng's dark eyes, as if he were being sucked into a black hole.

Shen Zhuo lowered his head and focused on the food in front of him.

After the meal.

Shen Zhengshan shared the characters he had found with Fu Wenxin: "Tomorrow I'll go see Master Liu and have him calculate which character is the most suitable."

As Fu Wenxin looked at the characters, she nodded in agreement; they all had auspicious meanings.

"Okay, we'll choose a good name for our baby later."

After reading it, Fu Wenxin put down the notebook, her gaze questioning, "What happened between you and Acheng?"

She noticed the unspoken tension between the father and son.

"Are you having a tiff?"

Shen Zhengshan glanced at his wife, propped his chin on his hand, got up, closed the slightly ajar door to the master bedroom, and sat back down. He said frankly, "Acheng can't go to Mingde High School."

Why?

"A considerable sponsorship fee needs to be paid, and the company happens to need funds at this time, otherwise its development will definitely be limited."

That's how business works; if you fall behind even once, you'll fall behind every step of the way.

Fu Wenxin comforted her husband, "Acheng's scores are good. He can go anywhere except Mingde. Don't blame yourself too much."

Shen Zhengshan has lost a lot of weight in the past few months, as he is in charge of everything at home and outside.

"How about I try to persuade A-Cheng?" Fu Wenxin suggested.

Shen Zhengshan refused: "No, this is a crucial time for you. Don't let it affect your mood. As for Acheng, I'll handle it. I'll buy him a house as compensation."

"He'll definitely be happy to have something that belongs to him."

Fu Wenxin thought about it and realized that her father had also used the same method to coax her. Fu Wenxin was indeed happy to receive the gift.

"it is good."

"By the way, I noticed that Zhuo comes back from outside every night. Does he not spend enough time with the baby?" Shen Zhengshan thought of the several times when Shen Zhuo came back later than him.

Fu Wenxin was taken aback by these words.

She remembered that something seemed off with her own children; not only Shen Zhuo, but also Shen Qi and Shen Cheng hadn't spoken to the baby much.

"What do you mean? When I was pregnant with Ya Ya, the three of them would greet their little sister every day." Fu Wenxin said, puzzled.

Shen Zhengshan knew a little bit about it.

Perhaps it's because the couple values ​​the baby in her womb too much.

But they are the older brothers, how can they not be more lenient with their younger sister?

He was not satisfied.

Fu Wenxin was also dissatisfied, and the two planned to have a good talk with the child tomorrow about how the family of brothers and sisters had become estranged.

Before Shen Zhengshan could even voice his dissatisfaction, Old Master Shen called downstairs to ask what was going on.

The child was being difficult, so they sent the old man away.

Shen Zhengshan returned to normal and went back to the master bedroom, where he read history books to the baby in his belly.

The next day.

Shen Zhengshan went to see Master Liu, but the calligraphy he received meant he had to give another house to his youngest son.

Two houses, two sons.

Three days later, I rushed home at noon.

Shen Zhengshan called Shen Cheng and Shen Qi, who were at home, to his study. It was Shen Qi's first time in his father's study, and he didn't look at anything in the study.

Instead, they looked at Shen Cheng's ashen face.

Although the Shen family's business is not at the top, they follow the rules of those at the top.

Previously, only Shen Cheng, the heir, could enter the study; other children had to wait until they were over eighteen years old to enter.

But Shen Zhengshan's decision to break the rules today is also a warning to Shen Cheng: don't try to cause him trouble.

"Archie, how about your father changes your name?"

Shen Zhengshan looked at Shen Qi with a smile and an expectant expression.
