"Grandpa, I’ve taken a liking to this company. Hurry up and make a statement, tell Su Xiyang to get out of here. Why is she hogging the resources without contributing? She needs to move out today."

"After this, I’ll officially take over here. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do a better job than this woman." Su Ziye arrogantly instructed.

"I will also lead the company to greater heights, Grandpa. Don’t you trust my abilities?!"

Su Ziye spoke incessantly, acting as if it was a given, clearly not just speaking in jest.

She truly believed that with a word from her own grandfather, Su Xiyang would obediently and honestly relinquish control of the company.

In the past, she was used to snatching things, to the point she started believing she was entitled to everything? Automatically assuming everything belongs to her?

Here, she finished issuing orders and was just waiting for the old man, who had always indulged her, to grandly hand over the company entirely to her, Su Ziye.

This scene truly opened Shen Fanyun’s eyes. This wasn’t just simple shamelessness; it was as if she had lost all sense of decency.

The company Su Xiyang has now was built up single-handedly by Shen Fanyun, who invested countless funds to create a protective moat around it.

Since when did the Su Family have any say?

And they want Su Zheng to speak up and formally ask Su Xiyang to fully cooperate?

That would mean the substantial assets Shen Fanyun invested also naturally became the Su Family’s assets?

"Ziye, stop messing around. Let’s go home." Su Zheng still had some sense of decency, unwilling to complicate matters further, planning to slip away.

Shen Fanyun could clearly see that the old man was wary of him.

He was worried that if things continued like this, Shen Fanyun might resort to violence, hence his eagerness to leave in a hurry.

After all, Shen Fanyun didn’t even consider the local powerhouse Han Long a challenge; a mere Su Zheng really wasn’t a concern.

As for Su Ziye?

She was just a brainless fool, thinking that with her grandfather backing her, she could do as she pleased without any consequences.

"Leave? If anyone’s leaving, it’s that bitch Su Xiyang. Why should I leave?"

"Grandpa, don’t you like me anymore? Are you unwilling to make Su Xiyang give up control of the company? You’re protecting her?"

"Grandpa, how can you do this? I’m clearly the most obedient one. What right does Su Xiyang have to compete for your affection?"

Su Ziye’s expression changed, and she immediately acted wronged.

This was a tactic she had used countless times. As long as she put on a pitiful face, Su Zheng would guarantee her every request.

It’s undeniable that her acting skills were top-notch. It’s a pity she didn’t pursue a career in acting to compete for an Oscar.

But Su Zheng hadn’t said a word yet.

Su Ziye then played her trump card, hugging the old man’s arm and shaking it, "Grandpa, I want it!"

"Anyway, this company that Su Xiyang built thrived under the Su Family’s name. In other words, it’s our Su Family’s business."

"Without the influence of the Su Family, who would want to do business with her?"

"Now that the Su Family wants to reclaim what’s rightfully ours, there’s nothing wrong with that, right, Grandpa?"

Su Ziye laughed, thinking Su Zheng would momentarily soften and eventually agree to her demands.

However, not only did Su Zheng not show any sign of agreement, even the group of employees present looked at Su Ziye as if she were a fool.

This made Su Ziye uncomfortable. What did it mean?

This bunch of worthless trash, ants whom she couldn’t be bothered to look at ordinarily, were actually using such gazes to look at her, the Su Family’s heiress? Had they grown tired of living?

"What are you looking at? One more glance and I’ll gouge your eyes out, hmph." Su Ziye threatened, lifting her little chin with an even more haughty expression.

"Grandpa?" Su Ziye returned to Su Zheng’s side, sweetly calling out again, playfully twisting Su Zheng’s arm like a spoiled child.

Su Zheng remained unmoved, acting as if he hadn’t heard her.

Su Ziye was displeased, then fiercely glared at Su Xiyang, arrogantly questioning, "Su Xiyang, what kind of spell did you cast on Grandpa?"

"Clearly, the person Grandpa loves the most is me. How could he show you a different face for your sake? Tell me, what exactly did you do?"

Su Ziye mistakenly believed that the reason the old man remained silent and didn’t agree was due to some trick by Su Xiyang.

"Ziye, let’s go home."

Su Zheng didn’t want to delay; after all, as an old saying goes, the longer one waits, the more unexpected things can happen.

Even though there was nothing to fear from Su Xiyang, this Shen Fanyun wasn’t a mere saint. If really pushed, the consequences were unpredictable.

Ultimately, Shen Fanyun had already proven himself during this time to be a formidable character, even a headache for the likes of Han Long.

Su Zheng was nowhere near Han Long’s level, in Shen Fanyun’s eyes, he couldn’t pose even a slight threat to Shen Fanyun.

In fact, Shen Fanyun might not even consider him worthy of concern!

"I said, I’m not going home."

"I won’t go back unless I get this company today. Grandpa, it’s up to you." Su Ziye developed a rebellious mindset.

She was determined to have Su Zheng transfer control of Su Xiyang’s company to her, Su Ziye.

And she did it with an air of self-righteousness, as if it were the most natural thing to do.

Su Xiyang, Shen Fanyun, and even the business partner from Xu Zhou, all eyes shone with mischief, watching Su Ziye with schadenfreude.

This made Su Ziye feel like she’d been slapped in the face out of nowhere.

Su Ziye couldn’t stand this kind of situation the most. With her high status, when had she ever been scrutinized like this?

This group of disrespectful brats, do they think Su Ziye is easy to bully? Did she give them too many friendly smiles?

"Hmph, what’s everyone looking at, especially you, Su Xiyang!" Su Ziye scolded, rolling her eyes at Su Xiyang.

"Su Xiyang, stop putting on airs here. Don’t fantasize about me letting you off today."

"If I don’t make you obediently roll out of the company today, I wouldn’t be a Su anymore, haha, it’s only been a few months since I disappeared."

"Have you forgotten how I, Su Ziye, used to control you?"

Su Ziye recalled the various ways she had bullied Su Xiyang before, her heart filled with secret delight.

Shen Fanyun finally couldn’t take it anymore.

He walked up to Su Ziye and slapped her hard on the face with his palm as big as a fan, "Finished talking?"

"Since you’ve finished, let me say a few things."

"Listen carefully, and if you don’t learn from this, consider the consequences." Shen Fanyun showed his dazzling white teeth, appearing harmless.

Slap!

Another loud slap landed on Su Ziye’s face. She clutched her cheek in shock, her pupils filled with disbelief.

This guy actually dared to hit me, dared to hit me in front of grandfather, this...

Moreover, he struck so hard that Su Ziye felt her beautiful, handsome face might be ruined.

Outrageous.

From now on, is Shen Fanyun completely done trying to make a living in Hangcheng City? Daring to touch her, a rich young lady from the Su Family, how many guts does he have?

"You, you..." Su Ziye was furious, her stomach full of rage ready to explode.

However, Shen Fanyun ignored her, completely disregarding the so-called rich young lady, towering over her like he was examining a lowly ant.

"Firstly, what does Xiyang’s current company have to do with your Su Family?"

"Who told you that Xiyang relies on your Su Family’s influence to reach her current scale? Is your Su Family overestimating itself?"

"If you really had that influence, why is it still a third-rate family that can’t make it in the local scene?"

Su Ziye, "..."

Su Zheng took deep breaths, wanting to intervene, as Su Ziye was the granddaughter he spoiled the most. How could he not feel heartache seeing her be slapped?

However.

Shen Fanyun’s momentum was fierce, and Su Zheng suddenly felt a bit guilty.

It’s also to blame that Su Ziye was too excessive, used to grabbing things so much that she completely forgot things aren’t as they were before.

He, Su Zheng, no longer had the capital to ensure Su Ziye could have her way, getting whatever she wanted!

"Without my Su Family, could Su Xiyang start a company? What does she amount to, does she have such capability?" Su Ziye defended, remaining stubborn.

Shen Fanyun slapped her yet again, "Oh?"

"Her company was backed by Mr. Shen with an investment of two billion, who supported it from the ground up. What has your Su Family contributed? What did you invest?"

"Did your Su Family need to help?" Shen Fanyun sneered, "A worthless family, aren’t they taking themselves too seriously?"

Su Ziye, "..."

Two billion?

How rich is Shen Fanyun? This isn’t thousands or tens of thousands, it’s two billion, an astronomical figure in most people’s eyes!

"Impossible!" Su Ziye refused to believe, "Unless you can prove it, how can I rule out that you’re just bragging?"

"Unless it gets the recognition of me, Su Ziye, otherwise I won’t believe it."

Boom!

Shen Fanyun couldn’t be bothered to argue, lifting his foot to kick Su Ziye directly.

Su Ziye felt pain in her abdomen, immediately flying out far like a kite with a broken string, landing and stirring up dust.

The force was too much, Su Ziye felt clearly that several ribs were fractured, this, this...

Too presumptuous.

Shen Fanyun doesn’t understand pity at all? Even hitting girls, is this still a man?

"What do you amount to? Does Mr. Shen need your recognition to do things?" Shen Fanyun laughed angrily, is this woman too overconfident in her own looks?

A person like a stray cat or dog, truly daring to boast.

Only with her recognition is it a fact? Otherwise, nothing is real.

Apparently, Su Ziye’s next move was to check Su Xiyang’s accounts to see if there was no business connection or entanglement with Su Family?

"You still need recognition?" Shen Fanyun lit a cigarette with a ’pop’, asking while coldly laughing at Su Ziye who’s lying on the ground unable to get up.
