Chapter 516: A Desperate Dog Leaps Over a Wall

Occupying others’ belongings is simply bandit behavior!

Shen Shichu felt a chill run through his body, his arms and legs refusing to obey him, a swollen sponge seemed to have been wedged in his throat, and he couldn’t make a sound despite attempting to speak several times.

The sounds of disdainful pointing and whispering around him grew louder and louder.

He suddenly had a sense of impending doom, as if everything would vanish like bubbles.

When his eyes focused, he glared intently at Chu Yao’s cell phone.

“Miss Chu, what do you mean?”

He glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, “Do you know Nan Jiaojiao?”

“I don’t,” Chu Yao turned off the recording and casually handed the microphone to someone else, “but I’m very good at standing up for justice.

As Buddha says, ‘Commit to one good deed a day, and merit will fill three thousand lives.’

“…” Nan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes elegantly.

Bo Yanching and others also had complex expressions on their faces.

They were not afraid of Chu Yao being unruly, but were fearful when she suddenly started talking in such a refined manner.

Even more terrifying was when Chu Yao discussed Buddhism earnestly with you.

It’s as if two words were flashing on their foreheads: Utter nonsense.

“The recording…”

Shen Shichu’s lips felt dry, and in a mortified low voice, he said, “Please, give it to me.”

Without blinking an eye, Chu Yao threw the phone to Bo Yanching.

“There it is, grab it.”

Her tone sounded as if she were giving orders to a dog.

Shen Shichu’s face turned red, his eyelids twitched fiercely, he dared not snatch anything from Bo Yanching’s hands, not even daring to cast a glance that way.

Bo Yanching, on the other hand, seemed inclined to give him a chance, but he declined it.

Bo Yanching held the phone in one hand, tapping it a few times in the palm of his other hand.

His gentle eyes turned towards Nan Jiaojiao, “Shall we go?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded.

He turned and walked away with her.

Lu Zhenzhen, Yaen Chi, and their companions also followed them out.

But Shen Shichu only stared at Nan Jiaojiao’s retreating figure, wishing he could bore holes through her with his gaze.

It was only now that he realized, Nan Jiaojiao had never been easy to manipulate.

In the past, her compliance wasn’t due to dependence but simply lack of concern.

Shen Shichu pressed hard on his brow, took a deep breath, and made a call to corporate finance, “Transfer funds to my personal account, I have a use for it.”

Finance: “So much?!

But President Shen, all the company’s funds have been invested in the new shopping mall, and there’s not much liquidity left, moreover, transferring from the company account to your personal account…

that might be inappropriate.”

That would be embezzlement of company funds.

Shen’s wasn’t something Shen Shichu could control alone.

If this matter were brought to the board, whether he could keep his position as president was another matter.

“Just do as I say, do it!”

Shen Shichu clenched his phone, his palm sweating from the grip.

He scanned the hall.

After Chen Man stepped down, the director cut to a commercial, then when the commercial ended, the host took the stage and invited some celebrities up for closing remarks.

To the viewers outside the screen, everything from the assistant presenting the PPT to Chen Man’s accusation had been cut.

He had smoothed things over with the organizers before he arrived, luckily having closer relations with two investors there.

So, while the stage glittered with stars, Shen Shichu and Nan Jiaojiao’s standoff offstage seemed like two different worlds.

He looked at the fans leaving and the celebrities, who were insignificant.

It would suffice to silence them with money.

The real challenge was the numerous businessmen present; he needed to use the techniques utilized in the shopping malls to secure their silence.

Thinking he, Shen Shichu, could be destroyed by a mere Nan Jiaojiao?

Impossible!

…

The banquet was set on the open-air garden of the top floor.

Chu Yao, now changed into a different outfit, ran into Qu Xiaoxiao, who kept talking to her all the way, giving her a headache.

“I saw it all.

That Shen Shichu really isn’t a decent man.

If I hadn’t been backstage changing my makeup, I would have charged out and given him two good slaps!”
