Chapter 214: 214 signs a bet agreent! Finally learned the truth 【2 updates】 Chapter 214: 214 signs a bet agreent! Finally learned the truth 【2 updates】 Since Sheng Huaiqian had so actively sought his own demise, he was naturally eager to oblige.
Sheng Ronghua imdiately looked at President Qi, “Grandpa Qi, you must witness this incident today. With your presence, if my brother reneges on his word, then he can forget about staying at the company any longer.”
“Hold on,” President Qi frowned, “He’s asking you to sign a wager agreent now? Could there be a catch?”
“Definitely,” Sheng Ronghua was not blinded by sudden joy, “I’m not sure if soone has given him advice, aiming to use this opportunity to take down, but I’m not going to give him that chance.”
President Qi nodded, “That’s what I thought as well. Let’s go out and see what trick he’s up to.”
The two of them went out, and Sheng Huaiqian sat on the sofa outside, looking sowhat anxious and restless.
Seeing Sheng Ronghua co out, he suddenly stood up and blurted out, “Do you dare to bet with —”
The words reached his lips, and then he suddenly stopped short.
“Dare to bet with you on what?” Sheng Ronghua was very cautious, gently encouraging, “Big brother, if you don’t spell it out, how would I know?”
“I want to bet with you—” Sheng Huaiqian said this and then suddenly looked dejected again, “Never mind, I have nothing to bet, what do I have?”
“Ah, Huaiqian, there’s no need to belittle yourself,” Grandpa Qi smiled, “Ronghua has served as general manager for two years now. It’s only natural for him to secure the cooperation with Pulling the Sky Company.”
In his view, if it wasn’t for Fang Qingli’s personal vendetta, Sheng Ronghua would have already signed the contract.
As long as he visited the Fang Family, the cooperation would naturally return.
But he wouldn’t offer any help to Sheng Huaiqian.
Sheng Huaiqian turned pale with shock, “What? You’ve already got it? I was proposing a wager agreent that whoever secures it becos the general manager, and the one who doesn’t, leaves the company.”
Sheng Ronghua’s gaze flickered slightly.
It seed that, with his deliberate concealnt, Sheng Huaiqian had no idea that due to Fang Qingli’s interference, the negotiations with Pulling the Sky Company had already fallen apart.
“I was impulsive,” Sheng Huaiqian turned to leave, “I won’t sign this wager agreent anymore, just pretend I never ca.”
“Big brother, wait,” Sheng Ronghua had his secretary block Sheng Huaiqian’s way, “You went to the trouble of coming here, it would be a waste not to sign before leaving.”
He couldn’t secure the cooperation with Pulling the Sky Company, and Sheng Huaiqian was even less likely to.
This bet would either end in a win, or in mutual loss.
In any case, he wouldn’t incur any loss.
And Sheng Huaiqian had a fifty percent chance of completely disappearing from Sheng Corporation.
Once Sheng Huaiqian was out of Sheng Corporation, he had a hundred ways to make the man vanish without a trace.
After so deliberation, Sheng Ronghua smiled, “Big brother, it’s rare for you to show such resolve, then I shall take you up on your bet. With Grandpa Qi as witness today, no one can back down.”
He instructed his secretary to prepare a paper version of the wager agreent.
Three minutes later, the secretary returned with paper and a pen.
Sheng Ronghua pushed the paper and pen forward, “Big brother, sign it.”
“No, I won’t bet!” Sheng Huaiqian slamd the pen down, “You’re trying to trap , there’s no way. I won’t bet with you!”
The panic on his face was genuine, with sweat beading on his forehead.
“Big brother!” Sheng Ronghua directed his secretary to hold down Sheng Huaiqian, his voice cold, “You proposed the wager agreent, why won’t you sign it now? Sign it!”
At Sheng Ronghua’s command, the secretary forcefully took Sheng Huaiqian’s hand with the pen, coercing him to sign.
Sheng Huaiqian was so angry his face turned red, “Sheng Ronghua, you’re despicable!”
After signing his own na, Sheng Ronghua dried the ink and laughed heartily, “Big brother, how co you’re as naive and clever as your mother?”
Bet with him?
He would make Sheng Huaiqian lose everything!
“Grandpa Qi, let’s go to the Fang Family,” Sheng Ronghua handed the contract to his secretary and returned another copy to Sheng Huaiqian, “Big brother, I’ll await your good news.”
After leaving the headquarters of Sheng Corporation, the panic on Sheng Huaiqian’s face vanished entirely.
He took out his phone, snapped a photo of the contract, and sent it to Ye Wanlan.
[Sheng Huaiqian]: Miss Ye, Sheng Ronghua has signed the wager agreent with . A shareholder witnessed it, and the surveillance video shows I was coerced into signing.
[Ye Wanlan]: Received.
Putting down her phone, Ye Wanlan looked up, “Sheng Huaiqian has acted quickly; in less than three days, he has made Sheng Ronghua sign the wager agreent.”
“Huaiqian takes after his mother, too upright but quite smart,” Patriarch Fang nodded, “However, intending to completely overthrow Sheng Ronghua with just a wager agreent might not be so simple.”
“Mm.” Ye Wanlan said indifferently, “Most shareholders are on Sheng Ronghua’s side, but in the future, these shareholders must switch their allegiance to Sheng Huaiqian.”
Patriarch Fang’s expression turned stern: “Sheng Corporation has too many shareholders, I fear…”
“People always choose the side that benefits them the most.” Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, “Once they see the imnse benefits that co with Sheng Huaiqian, they will naturally abandon Sheng Ronghua.”
And she could provide that benefit.
“Miss Ye, do have more corn and spare rib soup.” Madam Fang warmly invited, “Qingli told you’ve been overworking these days. You must take care of your health.”
Ye Wanlan smiled, “Thank you, Aunt.”
“Sir, Madam,” the family was having dinner when Steward Fang hurried in, “Old Master Qi has brought Sheng Ronghua, seems like it’s just as the young miss said – they’ve co to hold us accountable.”
“Oh?” Madam Fang’s gaze turned cold, “To pick this ti for a visit, they must be up to sothing.”
Ye Wanlan stood up, “I’ll take a walk in the garden first.”
“Qinghan, accompany Miss Ye.” Madam Fang nodded and then instructed the steward, “Let them in.”
When Sheng Ronghua and President Qi entered the hall, Patriarch Fang and Madam Fang were still dining.
“Uncle Qi, what brings you here today?” Patriarch Fang put down his chopsticks, “Ah, if only you had co earlier, I would have insisted on treating you to a al.”
“No need for a al.” President Qi spoke with a detached tone, “Ah, Little Fang, when your Fang Group was being established, I helped quite a lot, didn’t I?”
Patriarch Fang agreed, “Of course, Uncle Qi, you did provide significant help.”
“Having your daughter back is a good thing, but don’t harm innocent people, either,” President Qi’s sharp gaze landed on Fang Qingli, “What do Ronghua’s mother’s actions have to do with him? He wasn’t even born at that ti.”
Fang Qingli was just wiping her tears, keeping silent.
Madam Fang took a sip of tea and asked, “Do you realize your mistake?”
“I—I realize my mistake.” Fang Qingli said aggrievedly, “I’ll release the hold-up contract as soon as I return.”
“Uncle Qi, the child doesn’t understand, don’t take her too seriously,” Patriarch Fang smiled faintly, “Sheng Corporation’s achievents in the apparel field are so high, cooperating with Pulling the Sky Company is a win-win.”
“Of course.” President Qi stroked his beard, “Ronghua is extrely capable, and I believe this cooperation will certainly benefit both parties.”
After getting a definite answer, President Qi then peacefully left with Sheng Ronghua.
Fang Qingli stopped crying imdiately, “Mom, Sister Lan, how was my acting?”
“Not bad,” Ye Wanlan said as she entered through the door that led from the living room to the garden, calmly adding, “If you’re interested, you can make a cao in the next drama that the company is setting up.”
“This Qi, coming to blackmail at this ti,” Madam Fang said with a cold laugh, “When our Qingli was replaced, he didn’t even squeak.”
Ye Wanlan reflected, “Sheng Huaiqian ntioned that the next shareholders’ eting is in three days. Give him the contract close to the end of the third day.”
Human hearts are always the most worthwhile subject to study.
This ti, Sheng Huaiqian had precisely manipulated Sheng Ronghua’s mindset, which was quite well done.
“No problem, Sister Lan,” Fang Qingli responded.
This ti, Sheng Ronghua would not die, but he would be greatly disabled.

At 11:40 am, Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.
The last class in the morning was a study period. Lin Wenli finished all his howork early and went through a set of comprehensive exam papers; he was now idly watching the birds outside the window.
He was waiting for the bell to end class, planning to go buy lunch at the cafeteria.
Around him, so classmates whispered and chatted.
“This novel is super popular, have you all read it?”
“I have, I have; fortunately, it’s just a short story, or it would’ve definitely distracted from studying.”
“The book was first released at Global Center, already translated into a hundred languages, and the movie rights have been sold.”
Lin Wenli wasn’t interested in these entertainnt activities. He didn’t play gas or read novels and didn’t join in the conversation.
“Hey, Wenli, you should be alert in the future. What if soone around you suddenly changes their personality? It could be that they’ve been possessed,” his deskmate suddenly turned his head and said, “This stuff is too scary. I wouldn’t want my body to be taken over by soone else. Even if they are better than , they can’t replace .”
Thankfully, the idea of one’s body being taken over by another soul only happened in books.
Lin Wenli abruptly tensed and stared blankly at his deskmate.
A few seconds later, he suddenly stood up, demonstrating an unprecedentedly agitated state, “What did you say?”
