At the entrance of the Blue Ocean Hotel,
Shen Qingxi had his arm around Pang Cheng's shoulder,
laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
"Hahahaha. I'm dying of laughter, Lao Pang, did you see that? That
guy just pulled out seven cards in a row to make up the difference!
It's so funny to even think about it."
Pang Cheng rolled his eyes and swatted Shen Qingxi's hand away.
"President Shen, can you stop laughing? You're really not acting like a domineering CEO right now!"
Shen Qingxi rolled his eyes again: "Can you stop having such a biased view of domineering CEOs? I've told you so many times, those kinds of creatures are just pure anti-carbon.
I'm a normal person, okay?"
Pang Cheng sighed: "Fine, whatever you say. But what do you plan to do about the Chen family?"
Shen Qingxi rubbed his chin and looked at Qu Rou beside him: "Sister Rou, how's the investigation into their family going?"
Pang Cheng looked at Qu Rou in surprise as she pulled a folder out of her bag.
"It's all in here."
Shen Qingxi looked at Pang Cheng: "What are you surprised about? You don't think I didn't make any preparations, do you?
Since I've already decided to mess with Chen Yang, I'm definitely going to break ties with the Chen family, so naturally I need to know more."
Shen Qingxi flipped through the folder in her hand.
Pang Cheng asked, "So, what do you plan to do with them?"
Shen Qingxi replied, "I don't know, I haven't decided yet, I need to study it further!"
Pang Cheng said, "According to your logic, shouldn't you be collecting evidence of their crimes?"
Shen Qingxi smiled, "You know me well, I do have that idea."
Pang Cheng said, "Are you sure the Chen family isn't clean?"
Shen Qingxi said, "You don't understand, do you? Based on my experience, there are two types of wealthy people in this world.
One type requires time to accumulate wealth; they have a long history and possess vast resources!
The reason for their strength...
It's about the accumulation of wealth over generations.
These wealthy families generally have excellent upbringing, and their offspring don't misbehave!
Because they understand that a family's power can never surpass that of the state.
If they go too far, someone will naturally take control of them.
Although I haven't met this type of wealthy family yet.
The other type is like the Chen family, and my family—nouveau riche.
Without the accumulation of time, the poor suddenly become rich, naturally leaving many problems, such as the accumulation of wealth.
The education of their offspring, and their behavior outside the home, will more or less be problematic."
Pang Cheng was stunned.
If he sometimes doubted his judgment of Shen Qingxi, now it seemed that Shen Qingxi was definitely hiding his true abilities. Shen Qingxi's definition of the two types of wealthy people was 100% correct.
Pang Cheng had seen too many scions of established families, many with long-standing traditions!
Their situations were exactly as Shen Qingxi described.
Pang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.
This young master had absolutely no contact with such powerful families.
Because there simply weren't any such families in Jiangcheng. This young master traveled with him, and he never had time to interact with these families.
Yet, he possessed such a clear understanding of them.
There was only one possibility: this young master had already laid out a plan.
He had even investigated these wealthy families extensively!
He didn't know how this young master had done it, and it was precisely because he didn't know that he felt his good-natured young master's image became increasingly admirable.
He simply couldn't comprehend how this young master had managed to keep it from those people in the capital and investigate those powerful families.
Qu Rou, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "So, Mr. Shen, you're insulting yourself too?"
Shen Qingxi, flipping through documents, replied, "I'm different. My dad's a nouveau riche, but what's ridiculous is that he doesn't have any of the problems I'd expect from a nouveau riche.
He knows how to obey the law, and he listens to me, trying his best to avoid anything that might cross the line.
Moreover, his upbringing of me is quite restrictive.
Although I don't need his restrictions on many things, I have to admit that sometimes he gives me the feeling that I come from a powerful, wealthy family."
Pang Cheng looked at Shen Qingxi.
This young master is getting more and more outrageous. Could he possibly know his true background?
No way! Although when this young master was young, those powerful families from Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and other places joined forces to cause trouble for Shen Feng, diverting his attention.
They even arranged for someone to contact Shen Qingxi.
But with the orders from the Shen family and the Sun family in Beijing, they definitely wouldn't dare reveal anything. Was this young master just saying it casually, or...testing him?
Shen Qingxi had no idea that Pang Cheng was having so many thoughts running through his mind.
Flipping through the documents in his hands, Shen Qingxi quickly found what he was looking for.
"Found it, this is interesting,"
Qu Rou and Pang Cheng chimed in.
Shen Qingxi said, "Look at this. The Chen family's rise to power was incredibly short-lived, and Chen Yang's father's rise to wealth is even more absurd.
Originally, he was just a small business owner, the kind who could easily crush five or six people in Jiangcheng.
But look at his turning point."
Pang Cheng said, "He married his first wife."
Shen Qingxi nodded, "That's right. His first wife was named Liu Meng. According to the information Sister Rou investigated, Liu Meng was originally the eldest daughter of the Liu family in Jiangcheng. Somehow, she met Chen Yang's father and married him. They
even had a son, Chen Guang.
But later, when Chen Guang was two years old, Liu Meng was in a car accident.
After that, Chen Guang was sent abroad.
The Liu family quickly went bankrupt.
After the Liu family went bankrupt, Chen Yang's father quickly remarried,
and his business grew bigger and bigger.
What did you find out from this?"
Qu Rou and Pang Cheng shook their heads.
Shen Qingxi sighed; these two were too stupid.
But we can't really blame them, since they haven't watched those random online dramas.
"His brain isn't corrupted.That's why he can't understand such an obvious plot."
Shen Qingxi said, "Let's make an assumption first. What if Liu Meng's death wasn't an accident?"
Pang Cheng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingxi sighed. Although Pang Cheng was excellent in every way,
his uncorrupted brain was just too slow.
Shen Qingxi said, "It's very simple. Isn't it obvious? Forget it, I can't explain it to you. I'll just tell you the story in my mind.
Chen Yang's father was originally a small business owner, but he met Liu Meng from somewhere.
He also learned about Liu Meng's family background, and then, he used some means to become Liu's son-in-law.
After that, Liu Meng became pregnant, and her business was temporarily handed over to Chen Yang's father to manage."
