Chapter 380 : Green Plum Meets Wine 31 (1/2)

In the days that followed, Shi Sheng continued collecting information on Yang Huairen.

Someone who could get to where he was today must’ve had some ability. But he was getting on in years and would probably retire in another two.

It wouldn’t be as easy to get close to him as Long Run. That wasn’t to say it was because he had particularly impressive guards. Rather, it was because his position was too high, so anything that happened to him would attract a lot of attention.

The part of the side quest related to investigating the deaths of Sheng Xia’s parents was pretty much done. Now all that was left was finding out who leaked the information in the first place.

From Long Run’s tone, Shi Sheng deduced that Yang Huairen still hadn’t given up on looking for that place.

Of course, the reason Shi Sheng wanted to kill Yang Huairen wasn’t to avenge Sheng Xia’s parents—she merely wanted to live a peaceful life in the future. And the easiest way to do that was to get rid of anyone who might become a threat.

Shi Sheng felt like she ought to take back Sheng Shi Group first. ‘If Yang Huairen knows the rightful heir of Sheng Shi Group has returned, wouldn’t he just show up on his own?’

Shi Sheng immediately contacted the lawyer who had drawn up the share transfer document which Gu Yan handed to her.

He was someone who wasn’t that famous, probably for the sake of being able to protect these documents better. But from their conversation, Shi Sheng knew this lawyer had talent.

For the sake of not drawing other people’s attention, he had never once displayed his talent, instead remaining content with a law firm making just enough for a living.

He had gotten all the necessary documents ready after receiving her call. All that was needed was her signature.

The rest of the procedures also went by very smoothly, to the point it’d make one click their tongues in astonishment, as if there was some invisible pathway opening itself up to her.

“Your parents were very good people. They once sponsored a lot of needy university students.”

This was the only irrelevant thing the lawyer had said to her this whole time.

The tree planted by one’s ancestors allowed their descendants to enjoy the shade[1]. Sheng Xia’s parents had probably never expected that someone they’d once sponsored would bring their daughter much convenience in the future.

Had Sheng Xia chosen to inherit the company back then, though she might not have achieved a perfect victory, at the very least she wouldn’t have lost too terribly.

Shi Sheng brought the materials with her to Sheng Shi Group to show off.

“Miss, may I ask if you have an appointment?”

The receptionist blocked her path. It seemed the lady couldn’t help but take her lightly, because she had come alone and dressed casually.

“Appointment? With who?”

The receptionist, “…” ‘You don’t even know who you’re looking for? Are you just here to cause trouble?’

“Miss, you can’t enter without an appointment.” Her attitude immediately toughened up.

“Why would I need one when I’m returning to my own—”

“Hello, I have an appointment with CEO Yang.” Someone suddenly interjected from the side.

Shi Sheng leaned against the reception desk with both hands and sighed heavily. ‘Really no way to get away from you ah!’

It seemed Shen Jiayin had just noticed Shi Sheng too, for her expression displayed a slight hint of surprise before turning guarded and backing away.

‘This woman is very violent!’

But upon thinking that Shi Sheng wouldn’t go so far as to attack with so many witnesses around, Shen Jiayin calmed down.

“You are Ms Shen, yes? CEO Yang is already waiting for you. Please get on Elevator 2. CEO Yang is on Floor 20.” The receptionist’s attitude immediately improved.

“Thank you.” Shen Jiayin didn’t speak with Shi Sheng, instead avoiding her as she walked towards the elevator.

“Go call your manager.” Shi Sheng smacked the reception desk. “Who’s your manager?”

The receptionist looked at her like she was a lunatic and beckoned the security guard in the distance over with a wave.

She flipped through the thick, messy file she was carrying and finally found the name of the current CEO of Sheng Shi Group: Yang Huaili, Yang Huairen’s younger brother.

But by now, the security guard had already arrived.

The security guard held an electric baton in his hand, gesturing for her to leave. “Miss, may I please trouble you to vacate the premises?”
