Chapter 65 Influential Figures of Beijing 2_1
With Shen Cheng as such a significant backer, not utilizing him would be a waste. In Beijing, or even nationwide, who wouldn’t give the Shen Family some face?
Shangguan You, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened them. A cold light flashed within. She had anticipated that Shen Jia and her family of three would seek refuge with Shen Cheng, but she had not expected to actually encounter them here.
"What did you say? Watch your mouth! Who do you think my Young Mistress is? You were the ones blind to her worth! You want to bully others? You should choose your targets more carefully. Is my Young Mistress someone you can afford to bully? Did you even bother to find out what kind of family the Shangguan Family is in Beijing? For a small, insignificant household like yours to challenge my Young Mistress is simply courting death! That Shen Family, that Shen Cheng—what are they even? Daring to parade themselves around? Country bumpkins, that’s all they are! Forever unable to grace the grand stage. So what if they have some money? Money is useless if you don’t have the life to spend it!" Zhang Mama rose from her seat, an imposing aura radiating from her. After all, she had been with the Shangguan Family for sixteen years—ever since the Young Mistress was born. She had absorbed nine-tenths of the Shangguan Family’s bearing.
"You damn old hag! How dare you insult the Shen Family and our cousin Shen Cheng? Are you tired of living? Don’t you know that a mere stomp of the Shen Family’s foot can make all of Beijing tremble?"
Shen Congming’s face turned livid with rage. Shen Jia erupted, pointing at Zhang Mama and cursing loudly.
"HAHAHA."
Following Shen Jia’s words, many on the plane familiar with Beijing’s circles burst into laughter, including a good number of Shen Cheng’s adversaries. Hearing such a ridiculous boast naturally elicited scornful laughter.
"HAHAHA. A year ago, the Shen Family might have been able to cause a stir in Beijing. But ever since their heir and the old master passed away, their influence has gradually declined, although they still hold significant shares in national commerce. Moreover, many directors within the Shen Family are dissatisfied with Shen Cheng’s leadership. If not for the large block of shares he holds, Shen Cheng would have been ousted long ago."
