520 Unpresentable?
Translator: Lordbluefire
Outside the door, Jing Zhen was pulled by several of the Shen family’s bodyguards to the resting lounge.
He was so anxious that he couldn’t stop turning around.
He absolutely couldn’t let the old witch see him, otherwise, he would really have to go home.
But there were too many people here, so he couldn’t do anything too obvious.
Now that he had reached the door, he looked around and saw a waiter carrying dishes next to him.
So, Jing Zhen immediately broke free from the security guard’s pulling and deliberately knocked over the dishes in the waiter’s hands.
A plate of dishes immediately splashed onto his body!
Jing Zhen acted panicked and patted the food on his body away. He then saw the servant nervously saying, “It’s not me. I was clearly over there just now… How did it happen… I’m sorry…”
Jing Zhen immediately said, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. I was just too excited to see the Queen, that’s why I knocked over your dishes…”
After he finished speaking, he looked toward the security guard and said, “So, I’ll go change my clothes first and then come over.”
This kind of behavior was very rude, and the security guard stupidly let go of his hand. Jing Zhen immediately took the opportunity to escape.
The five people waiting in the room. “??”
Old Master Bai twitched his mouth and couldn’t help but say in his heart, ‘Boss Jing, you really deserve it! Your way of doing things is always so incomprehensible!’
Shen Yuansong’s face looked a little ugly.
The Queen sneered. “Is this little actor so unpresentable?” She looked at Shen Yuansong.
The leaders of the Xu and Rong Families immediately sighed and said, “So that’s why it is important to have a good match. There is some truth to this. Old Shen, it must have been very tough…on your daughter.”
Shen Yuansong. “…”
He suddenly felt angry. He had originally wanted to give his son-in-law some face, as the latter was also trying to save the situation.
But Shen Yuansong hadn’t expected that his son-in-law would make him feel so embarrassed. He took a deep breath and looked at the butler. “You go watch him. He will come back to see everyone after he changes his clothes!”
The butler understood the old man’s meaning.
He wanted him to teach Jing Zhen some etiquette on how to greet guests.
However, at this moment, the Queen didn’t care anymore. She felt that her attention had been diverted and had been led astray by a few people.
A small actor wasn’t worth her attention.
She looked at the four people and suddenly smiled. “I’m sure you four have something to say to each other, right? In that case, why don’t I go out for a stroll first?”
Shen Yuansong immediately stood up. “I’ll accompany you…”
“No need.” The Queen looked at Shen Yuansong with a smirk. “Aren’t the four great families of China closely related? You must have something to say. Besides, I know the Shen Manor very well. I won’t get lost.”
This single sentence reflected the mood of the four people. Saying that they were closely related was mocking them, and saying that she knew this place very well was implying that she could easily manipulate them!
The Queen regained her own aura and stood up decisively. She then left the room with her own butler and left the conference room to them.
As soon as the Queen left, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Leader Xu immediately said, “Old Shen, our family can barely hold on anymore!”
Leader Rong also said immediately, “Our family is in trouble too.’
Bai Wei waved his hand. “We have to hold on. The four great families have just joined forces, and we can’t let her divide and conquer us! Haven’t you realized that? She’s suppressing us separately, and then she’ll make our four families split directly!”
Leader Xu said, “We can see that, of course, but our technology is being blocked. We can’t just not produce new products for the next few years, right?”
Bai Wei said, “Then develop them ourselves!”
Leader Xu smiled bitterly. “Develop them ourselves? That sounds good, but we have invested billions in the past few years. If it were that simple to develop, we would have done it long ago!’
Leader Rong also spoke, “Our family is the same. Breaking through the technical difficulties will probably take at least twenty years. During these twenty years, we can’t just close ourselves off and not make money, can we?
Bai Wei also faced similar difficulties.
The three of them looked at Shen Yuansong.
Shen Yuansong sighed heavily. He then stood up and bowed to the other three.
This gesture frightened the other three, and they immediately stood up as well.
Shen Yuansong was the head of the Shen family. Not to mention that the Shen family had always been the first in the capital, just in terms of seniority, Shen Yuansong was one generation older than Xu and Rong families’ leaders, and two years older than Old Master Bai. Therefore, he had always been the leader among the four of them. “1 hereby apologize to everyone here. The cause of this incident is my family.”
Old Master Bai supported his arm and said, “Old Shen, saying that is pointless. Besides, our four great families are closely related through marriage. Our bloodlines are already mixed together. At a critical moment, if we don’t help you, who will?”
However, Leader Xu and Leader Rong glanced at each other. They coughed and said, “It’s just that the Shen family has Prof. Z, and we don’t have anyone similar…”
Shen Yuansong said, “Therefore, I’m saying here that even if you abandon the Shen family and surrender to the Queen at a critical moment, I won’t hold it against you. If you have any difficulties in the future, and if my Shen family can help, we will definitely lend you a hand!”
Even though the Queen had blocked their way today, they had still allowed their female relatives to enter the door. This gesture was enough to move Shen
Yuansong.
That was enough. At least today, they had given enough face to the Shen family. They would deal with future matters later.
The other three leaders didn’t say anything when they heard this. They couldn’t just stand still, and everyone had to figure out a solution for their own family.
Be it to please the Queen and ease the relationship with her, or to please the other two families…
Outside the door, the Queen didn’t hear what they were saying. After dividing and suppressing them, the four major families must be in chaos. Even if they gathered together, they couldn’t come up with a good strategy because they were in different industries and couldn’t help each other in business.
The Queen was confident that the other three families would come to her sooner or later. She then walked arrogantly in the Shen Manor as if she was walking in her own house.
However, unlike last time, she could clearly see that the security was different. These Valor Gate members were all skilled.
As she strolled around, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure rushing into a room ahead.
The Queen immediately asked, pointing to that room. “Whose room is that?” The Shen family’s butler immediately said, “That’s our young lady’s room.”
‘Young lady?” The Queen suddenly smiled. “Is that the room of Old Shen’s daughter?”
‘Yes.
Was that the silhouette of the little actor who had just gone in to change clothes?
The Queen turned around and said, “Let’s go and take a look..”
