Chapter 154: Dismantling the Shen Corporation Piece by Piece

Over the next few days, Shen Chutang went to work as usual. The people from the Shen family did not come looking for trouble again, presumably deterred by the Crown Prince's intimidating pressure.

However, Shen Chutang had no intention of letting them off that easily. She called Ling You and instructed him to aggressively start acquiring the shares of the Shen Group.

Shen Xuejun guarded her like a thief, leaving all his vast fortune to Shen Tingting or keeping it firmly in his own hands, so not a single penny would ever fall to Shen Chutang.

Yet Shen Chutang did not care for their charity. She would rely entirely on her own strength to take over the Shen Group piece by piece!

Shen Chutang could hardly wait to see the expression on Shen Xuejun's face when he discovered that one of the major behind-the-scenes shareholders was none other than Shen Chutang!

At that moment, inside an upscale restaurant, Ling You casually took a large gulp of tea without any regard for etiquette, and then said, "Just as you instructed, we started buying up the Shen Group's shares at a price slightly above market value, doing it quietly enough so as not to attract massive attention."

Shen Chutang quickly said, "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Ling You couldn't help but ask, "Why the sudden urge to acquire your family's company?"

After Shen Chutang briefly explained what they had done, Ling You abruptly stood up, his face filled with murderous rage. "Are they tired of living? How dare they treat you like this! Don't worry, Senior Brother will go right now and drive them to bankruptcy!"

Shen Chutang hurriedly grabbed Ling You's sleeve. "Destroying them all at once wouldn't be fun. Senior Brother, leave all of this to me. We'll take it slow; there's no need to rush."

Only then did Ling You sit back down, muttering in disbelief, "I seriously doubt you're their biological child. Would biological parents ever do such despicable things?"

Shen Chutang remained nonchalant. "As long as I have Master and Senior Brothers, everyone else means nothing to me! Oh, right, Senior Brother, I've recently researched some whitening luxury creams, longevity pills, and scar-removal sprays. Can you help me sell them all? Just keep the profits with you. If the funds for acquiring the Shen Group aren't enough, I'll transfer the money from my bank card later."

Ling You waved his hand dismissively. "Come on, would your Senior Brother ever take your money? Buying a mere Shen Group is something your Senior Brother can easily afford."

Shen Chutang feigned extreme excitement. "Oh, wealthy benefactor, let's be friends!"

Ling You gently tapped her head. "Living with that nominal husband of yours—how is it going? He hasn't bullied you, has he?"

"He's just an honest, hardworking wage earner. How could he possibly bully me?"

Still unconvinced, Ling You asked, "Are you really sure you don't want Senior Brother to investigate his background?"

"No need. He's introverted, honest, and quiet. He only thinks about going to work to earn money so he can eventually marry a wife, and he even follows me out to run street stalls to make extra cash!"

Ling You wore an expression of utter disbelief. "Junior Sister, you went out to sell things at street stalls?!"

"Mmh-hmm!" Shen Chutang nodded enthusiastically.

Ling You clutched his chest with a heartbroken expression. "To think that back on the mountain, the rest of us brothers always made sure you ate and drank only the best! When did we ever let you toil away for money like this? This marriage—we can just drop it!"

Shen Chutang gave him a sideways glance. "You're overacting."

Ling You instantly resumed a serious demeanor. "Is he really that strapped for cash? Should I hand him a lottery ticket and let him win ten million?"

"Don't. I don't want to expose too much just yet."

With that, Shen Chutang lifted the small bag beside her. "These are the tiramisu, lemon chicken feet, and lemon tea combo I made while selling at the stall. I brought them especially for you, so give them a try."

"You really are the best to your Senior Brother!"

Saying this, Ling You deliberately took a photo and shared it in the chat group with his fellow senior brothers, instantly throwing the group into chaos.

Second Senior Brother Jian Moqing: [Don't be so smug. Your body fat percentage is already too high, watch out for the three highs.]

Third Senior Brother Yu Zhimuch: [I bet the tiramisu Junior Sister gave you is poisoned.]

Fifth Senior Brother Xiao Shen: [Junior Sister did such a wonderful job. Aren't you ashamed to eat her food all by yourself, Senior Brother?]

Sixth Senior Brother Si Wuduan: [Heh.]

Seventh Senior Brother Mu Rufeng: [Heh.]

After a long while, the Eldest Senior Brother finally replied: [Ling You, we need to have a talk later.]

Ling You immediately shoved his chat screen in front of Shen Chutang. "Look at this, Junior Sister. These guys are deliberately taking digs at me. They're just jealous of me!"

Shen Chutang smiled and typed in the group chat: [I've prepared delicious treats for all my Senior Brothers too! I've already sent them via overnight delivery, so they'll arrive tomorrow.]

The group instantly returned to peace and harmony, full of brotherly affection and solidarity.

Ling You twitched the corner of his mouth. "This is blatant discrimination!"

Shen Chutang smiled as she stood up and patted Ling You's shoulder. "Don't be upset, Fourth Senior Brother. I specifically prepared an extra sandwich just for you!"

Ling You instantly beamed with joy, purposely taking a photo of the snacks to wait for the others to receive their packages tomorrow and discover the subtle differences.

When Shen Chutang returned to the school and just reached the stairs, she suddenly felt a gaze fixated upon her.
