Chapter 93: The Decisive Bomb!

"What the hell is going on?! I woke up one morning and I'm no longer the chairman?!"
It was like a bolt from the blue!
The elderly Chairman Shen Chengjia, lying on his sickbed, nearly jumped out of bed upon hearing the news!
His already cloudy old eyes widened in disbelief and rage.
"Chairman, calm down! Judging from this, it's most likely that Second Young Master Shen Zekai is behind this!"
His secretary, Xiao Yang, was also visibly shaken.
"He... he somehow convinced the shareholders at Changqing Global Trust to hold a secret board meeting, and with a majority of votes, he ousted you and... the eldest young master!"
Good heavens!
In just one night, Shen Chengjia and his eldest son were dramatically ousted from the Changqing Group's core power structure!
“That unfilial son…that little beast! What on earth is he trying to do?!”
Shen Chengjia trembled with rage, his withered fingers gripping the bedsheets tightly, knuckles white, as if he wanted to smash the bed frame through.
“Those shareholders, they’re all my men! How could they have been turned against me by the second son?!”
Shen Chengjia was utterly baffled, his temples throbbing.
“Weren’t those shares the ‘loyalty shares’ I gave them back then?!”
Changqing Global Trust was a company he, Shen Chengjia, had built up single-handedly.
To ensure absolute control, the shareholder list was meticulously selected by him; every single one of them was a loyal confidant, inseparable from him.
Moreover, according to regulations, these shares couldn’t be sold, and they had to be obediently handed over upon resignation.
They were entirely the shares of his “Imperial Guard,” protecting him!
"Reporting to... Chairman," the secretary swallowed hard,
"That's the problem. I suspect the Second Young Master has been secretly plotting and undermining you, winning over everyone without anyone noticing!"
"Rebellious! Rebellious! These traitorous dogs!
That brat Shen Zekai, he used to seem like a quiet, unassuming guy, never showing any ambition.
So he's been plotting something big behind the scenes, playing dirty tricks on me!"
Shen Chengjia rubbed his throbbing temples, his head throbbing as if it were about to explode.
No! Now is not the time to be angry!
The most urgent thing is to put out the fire, to extinguish this raging inferno as quickly as possible.
“Xiao Yang,” he took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpening, “This matter… is there still hope? If I personally intervene, can I turn things around?”
“Chairman, if you’re willing to personally intervene, you can definitely turn things around!” Secretary Yang quickly encouraged his boss,
“If you just raise your voice, those fickle shareholders will definitely flock back to your side!
However… to say they’ll all come back, I’m afraid… is a bit uncertain.”
“What do you mean?” Shen Chengjia frowned.
“Think about it, Chairman, this kid Shen Zekai dared to suddenly launch an attack, directly calling a board meeting to ‘invite’ you out. This is clearly a declaration of war against you!”
Secretary Yang analyzed,
"He must have some backup plan, right? He must have anticipated your personal counterattack. With the shares dispersed, he's probably already secured enough to challenge you!"
"You mean, that kid already has enough shares to challenge me?"
Shen Chengjia's voice was as cold as ice in the dead of winter, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Most likely! Otherwise, where would he get the audacity to play such a big game?
This mess will probably only be clear once the dust settles and the shareholding situation is thoroughly clarified before we can see just how many tricks he's up his sleeve."
Shen Chengjia had already handed over the day-to-day operations of the group to his eldest son, retiring to the sidelines and becoming a de facto ruler, directing operations from behind the scenes.
He was just planning to choose an auspicious day to formally pass on the reins and then enjoy his retirement.
Who would have thought that at the last minute, such a huge fire would break out in his own backyard!
Ultimately, the reason these "die-hard confidants" defected was inextricably linked to the fact that he, the old man, had been retired for too long, and his intimidating power had diminished considerably.
"Call them one by one! No! I'll call them myself!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Chengjia's eyes.
"Chairman, your health..." Secretary Yang said with some concern.
"Damn it, I'm not dead yet! This little brat thinks I'm finished and wants to climb over me to get ahead?
No way! Let me tell you, even if I'm going to my grave, I'll break this little brat's legs before I die!"
In an instant, Shen Chengjia's eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy and lifeless due to illness, suddenly shone with the sharp light of his youthful, domineering spirit!
It was as if he had returned to his glorious days of battle and boundless ambition.
An old steed in its stall still aspires to gallop a thousand miles.
This old man, though his health is failing, still possesses an indomitable spirit that burns like a raging fire!
However, this time, his opponent is his own son, his own flesh and blood, which makes the overall atmosphere exceptionally desolate…

The internet's memory is short.
The "emissions scandal" was a global sensation, causing a huge uproar domestically as well.
The condemnation was relentless, as if they wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of the car companies involved.
But now, look at the news; where is there even a trace of the "emissions scandal"?
It's as if it never happened.
The world's onlookers, including domestic stock market investors, have long been captivated by a new juicy story.
Turn on the TV, open the newspaper, scroll through your phone—it's all about the Changqing Group!
What's the hottest, most eye-catching headline right now?
[Changqing Group's Former Chairman Shen Chengjia Makes a Powerful Comeback! The Succession Battle Officially Begins!]
What has always been the most popular form of entertainment for the masses?
It has to be watching a fierce battle!
Especially when it involves a battle for the top position in the multi-billion-dollar Changqing Group!
It's a case of the son rebelling against his father and brother, staging a real-life version of "Family Infighting: The Cunning Brother's Revenge"!
In the conference room of the Special Transaction Department at Fanghuan Investment, all the department members were gossiping about the Changqing Group like busy market vendors.
There was no way around it; this matter was directly related to them.
"Speaking of which... Mr. Su, how much do you think those two groups from Changqing will offer for our shares?"
That's right! The reason these well-dressed financial elites were so excited and animatedly gossiping about Changqing Group in the conference room was precisely this!
It was about that unfortunate Jinkun Holdings, the company that sold them shares worth two billion!
Normally, this would be a hot potato, a burden they wouldn't even want to hold onto, a complete ties-up of their capital, impossible to liquidate.
But now, the tables have turned. It has transformed into a minority stake in Changqing Global Trust, the parent company of Changqing Group, in this power struggle!
It might just be the deciding factor in this "Prince's Revenge" drama!
