I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 90 I am filled with interest in the unknown aspects of this world.

Shen Qianfeng then realized he had misspoke: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the company's senior management all think Ye Cheng got into Shen's Group because of you."

Shen Qingrou sneered: "Just now you said Ye Cheng had no background, and now you're saying Ye Cheng benefited from my influence."

Don't you find your statement contradictory?

Shen Qianfeng knew that he had made a logical mistake, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that he wanted to take the opportunity to teach Ye Cheng a lesson.

"He needs to establish prestige precisely because of your background."

Otherwise, it would be even less likely to win over the public.

Shen Qingrou was speechless: "No matter what you say, you're always right."

Okay, stop beating around the bush, just say what you want to say.

How else do you want Ye Cheng to prove himself?

Shen Qianfeng said, "There's a materials department under your control, and there's an old debt that hasn't been recovered."

Ye Cheng wanted to prove his abilities, so he went to collect these debts.

Shen Qingrou said with dissatisfaction, "Are you kidding me? He's not a professional debt collector."

Shouldn't this kind of thing go through legal proceedings?

Shen Qianfeng patiently explained, "You've only been in society for a few years, so you don't know much about some things yet."

Some things cannot be resolved through the legal system alone.

Shen Qingrou chuckled coldly, "Even if I'm naive and haven't eaten pork, I've still seen pigs run, haven't I?"

You can secretly use the power of the underworld.

Everyone knows what you've been up to.

Shen Qianfeng was not surprised at all that Shen Qingrou could say such a thing.

As the future successor of the Shen Group, it's normal for Shen Qingrou to know some of the unspoken rules of this world.

Shen Qianfeng said, "It's not good to use the power of the underworld for this. The other party is a shameless snake; he only responds to gentle persuasion, not force."

If pushed too far, you'll lose both your money and your people.

Shen Qingrou became even more anxious: "If neither the legitimate nor the underworld can solve this, you're asking Ye Cheng to solve it!"

Old man Shen, you're digging a hole for us!

He only had a conflict with General Manager Gan, was it really necessary to embarrass him like this?

Shen Qianfeng knew that force wouldn't work, so he could only say, "Girl, you know that Gan Chenghai and his old brothers have followed me for so many years and have made contributions."

As a result, Ye Cheng made him lose face as soon as he arrived.

Even if Ye Cheng isn't to blame, I still have to stand on Gan Chenghai's side and put on a show for him.

This is called winning people's hearts; otherwise, if we discourage these old folks, who will be willing to help us in the future?

Ye Cheng did act impulsively today.

Shen Qingrou protested, "Assistant Du just said that it was President Gan who provoked Ye Cheng first."

Even if someone has made contributions, they shouldn't rely on their seniority to deliberately suppress capable newcomers.

I don't deny their contributions, but we can't always side with them.

If she said that Ye Cheng told her, it would create suspicion that she was complaining, so it could only be Du Miaowei who told her the whole story.

Shen Qianfeng then seized the opportunity to say, "If Ye Cheng succeeds in this, he will naturally shut them up."

Shen Qingrou countered, "What if it can't be done?"

Shen Qianfeng laughed: "Girl, if Ye Cheng can't do it, it means his abilities are limited. I need to consider whether he's suitable to be my son-in-law."

Shen Qingrou scoffed, "Whether it's suitable or not isn't up to you to decide. Living with me isn't the same as living with you."

Shen Qianfeng said, "Alright, girl, what woman doesn't like a capable man?"

"I refuse to believe you don't want to see just how capable Ye Cheng really is."

Shen Qingrou disagreed: "I only care that he's good-looking."

The more capable a man is, the harder he is to control.

Shen Qianfeng retorted, "You're wrong about that. If he's hard to control, it means he doesn't care about you."

Rather than painfully possessing it, it's better to let go sooner rather than later.

We, the children of the Shen family, must be able to take things in stride and let them go!

Actually, Shen Qingrou was already somewhat tempted after hearing this.

In Shen Qianfeng's mind, Ye Cheng was a disabled person with some intelligence. He didn't know that Ye Cheng was already a normal person, skilled in medicine, and particularly good at fighting.

Collecting debts is definitely something worth trying.

If we succeed, we can put those old guys in the group to shame.

Even if she fails, she can still resort to unreasonable arguments.

She also took the opportunity to show her willful and capricious side within the company, hoping to lull her stepmother, Ling Suqiu, into a false sense of security.

However, she didn't want to make the decision for Ye Cheng. If Ye Cheng didn't want to do it, she wouldn't force him and would firmly refuse Shen Qianfeng's request.

Shen Qingrou put down her phone and turned to look at Ye Cheng: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Ye Cheng smiled slightly: "I heard it perfectly clearly."

Shen Qingrou simply said, "You decide."

Ye Cheng straightened Shen Qingrou's head: "I saw the answer in your yearning eyes."

It's just collecting a debt, nothing serious.

I will definitely complete the mission perfectly.

Shen Qingrou said, "I do want you to agree, but I think it's better to understand the situation first before making a decision."

Ye Cheng readily agreed, saying, "Chairman, send all the difficult-to-collect debts in the group to the vice president's office, and I'll resolve them for you one by one."

Hearing Ye Cheng's arrogant tone, Shen Qianfeng was displeased and admonished him, "Young man, taking too big a step can easily lead to a fall."

Ye Cheng said confidently, "If you don't have the skills, you shouldn't take on the job."

Isn't the chairman just trying to see how capable I really am?

I think collecting debts is just a simple matter, not challenging at all. We might as well resolve the Shen Group's financial problems as well.

Shen Qianfeng chuckled and said, "Kid, are you trying to replace me too?"

Ye Chengdao said, "I eat the emperor's food and bear the emperor's worries."

Why would the chairman say such a thing?

Could it be that the chairman is an intolerant person?

With just two simple sentences, he left Shen Qianfeng speechless.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Let's get this debt back first."

I'll send the details to Qingrou in a bit. If you're confident you can resolve it, go to her office this afternoon.

I'm waiting for your good news.

After saying that, Shen Qianfeng hung up the phone.

A short while later, Shen Qingrou's laptop beeped.

Shen Qingrou turned around, stopped Ye Cheng from continuing the massage, and picked up the mouse to click on the communication software within the Shen Group.

A document popped up, and after looking at it carefully, she pointed the screen at Ye Cheng and said worriedly, "This is a bit tricky."

After reading it, Ye Cheng sighed, "The more eager one is to make a name for oneself, the more likely one is to run into problems."

This guy has been swindling and cheating for years without getting into trouble; he must have some powerful connections backing him up.

Shen Qingrou said, "The unknown is the most terrifying, which is why I said it's tricky."

Otherwise, forget it."

Ye Cheng said eagerly, "I'm quite interested. Maybe I'll get some unexpected gains."

Shen Qingrou was still worried: "What unexpected gains could we possibly get? Let's give up. I don't want you to take any risks."

Ye Cheng scoffed, "Is he more terrifying than Gray Tower?"

Shen Qingrou seemed to see right through Ye Cheng: "You're only interested because you think he can get involved with Gray Tower, right?"

Why are you so stubborn and won't listen to advice?

Even the city lord of Gray Tower doesn't want to provoke them, so why do you insist on provoking them?

Ye Cheng said firmly, "Because I am full of interest in the unknown in this world."
