I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot-Chapter 28

A Person Who Cherishes Talent

Shen Shaofeng was dejected, and there was no anger in his eyes. Making this decision seemed to have used up all his strength.

Shen Hanyu was silent for a while before he said, “I’ve sold the chip, but I can develop it a second time. So we can start all over again.”

Shen Shaofeng closed his eyes slightly, and his hands on his knees were trembling. It was easier said than done to start all over again.

It took him more than ten years to get the company to its current size. Besides, it took him four to five years of research before he could finally develop the chip.

He had great ambitions and was surrounded by his wife and children more than ten years ago. Now that his wife had passed away and his company had gone bankrupt, he’d lost all his energy.

Shen Shaofeng sat silently for a long time before saying sadly, “It’d be great if your mother was still alive.”

These were the last words Shen Shaofeng said to Shen Hanyu before he returned to his room. That night, Shen Shaofeng attempted suicide by taking many sleeping pills.

Fortunately, Shen Hanyu found him in time and sent him to the hospital. Thankfully, his life wasn’t in danger.

…

After Sang Minglang was released from prison, the matter hadn’t been settled. Instead, the criticisms and suspicions toward the Sang family were just as rampant.

The media didn’t relent, thinking that the Sang family had used their connections to exonerate Sang Minglang.

For a long time, a group of reporters blocked the entrance of the Hongyuan Group. Sang Pengcheng had no choice but to reduce his appearance. Sang Minglang even had to dress like a thief to avoid the media.

Sang Minglang was infuriated, but he was helpless. The suspicions against him hadn’t stopped. Additionally, the trial of Shen Shaofeng suing Sang Pengcheng had pushed public opinions to a new height.

The outcome was predictable; Sang Pengcheng wouldn’t be held responsible for Mrs. Shen’s death, and the hospital would only have to bear the responsibility for the compensation.

However, public opinion refused to let the Sang family off the hook. The Sang family felt as if they were being roasted repeatedly on a stove. As a result, their stock prices fluctuated, and the Hongyuan Group suffered heavy losses.

After much thought, Sang Qianqian decided to give up on studying abroad.

After leaving the country, she’d be separated from her home. So if something really happened, she wouldn’t be able to rush back in time.

Sang Pengcheng was indifferent to this. “Public opinion will pass eventually.”

The human heart was forgetful. He’d been in charge of the Hongyuan Group for decades and had seen many storms.

He had experienced situations that were even more dangerous than this, not to mention the current situation. It couldn’t be any worse.

The police had already settled the case, and no matter how much the media questioned, it was just irresponsible speculation. The negative public opinion would pass sooner or later, and the rest only needed time.

However, even though public opinion had passed, the risk hadn’t.

With the help of Shen Shaofeng’s chip technology, the Kexing Group closed in step by step. As a result, the Han family instantly won over the Sang family in the mobile phone industry.

Shen Shaofeng wanted revenge, and Han Shangrong intended to suppress the Sang family. So the two of them joined forces and attacked the Sang family.

Within a short time, the Sang family’s electronics market shrank sharply, and their sales volume fell sharply.

Because of those two cases, many business partners had also canceled their contracts with the Sang family. Furthermore, their other industries also faced severe setbacks. As a result, the Hongyuan Group’s stock price had fallen to an unbearable level, and its reputation and status in the country declined daily.

At this moment, the Sang family was attacked from both sides. Their predicament and decline were already beyond redemption.

However, at this critical juncture, no one expected the Shen family’s company to go bankrupt suddenly and Shen Shaofeng to attempt suicide by taking medicine.

The media was all over the news of Shen Shaofeng’s bankruptcy and suicide, and the attention on the Sang family instantly decreased.

“Shen Shaofeng asked for it. Back then, you slandered me for killing people; what about now?”

Sang Minglang was very satisfied with this, “Han Shangrong killed without spilling blood. He took away his chip technology without a word. The heavens are fair; this is indeed retribution.”

Sang Pengcheng sighed.

When Sang Minglang wasn’t around, he called out to Sang Qianqian, “Qianqian, come with me to see your Uncle Shen.”

He still cherished Shen Shaofeng’s talent and couldn’t bear to see him fall into such a situation.

After a few months, Sang Qianqian finally saw Shen Hanyu again.

Shen Hanyu’s gaze was icy. It was several times colder than Shen Shaofeng’s expression.

Shen Shaofeng looked at Sang Pengcheng warily. “What’s the matter, Mr. Sang? Did you come here to make fun of me?”

“Shaofeng, do I look like that kind of person to you?”

“I know,” Sang Pengcheng said seriously. “You’re still suspicious of the car accident and biased against the Sang family. However, the police had already come to a conclusion, and I didn’t want to explain any further. I’m only here today for you.”

Shen Shaofeng was slightly stunned. “Me?” 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Sang Pengcheng nodded and said, “That’s right. The Sang family can help you pay off the 300 million debt you owe.”

Shen Shaofeng sneered, “You want the Shen family’s chip in exchange? Sang Pengcheng, you’re too late. I’ve decided to sell the chip to Han Shangrong.”

“I don’t need anything in exchange. Just treat this money as me lending it to you.”

Sang Pengcheng looked at Shen Shaofeng. “If you can pay me back in the future, then do so. If you don’t, then forget it. It’s not in vain that we’ve known each other.”

Shen Shaofeng stared at Sang Pengcheng suspiciously. “Why?”

“I used to appreciate you, and I still do so today. Although I’m not talented, I’m a person who cherishes talent. So I can’t bear to see a pearl covered in dust.”

Sang Pengcheng took out a check and handed it to Shen Shaofeng. “This is a check for 400 million yuan. Three hundred million yuan will help you clear your debt, and the other 100 million yuan will help you rise again.”

The Sang family still faced many issues in their business. However, 400 million yuan was nothing to Sang Pengcheng.
