Chapter 618: 135: Cooperate with the investigation_2

After speaking, Guo Yang added, "If your brother asks you for money, just say you don’t have any."

Shen Qianqian replied exasperatedly, "Do I even need you to tell me that?"

Of course, she knew she couldn’t lend money to her brother and sister-in-law.

The Shen family now was like a bottomless pit.

No amount of money would ever be enough.

Shen Qianqian was a very clear-headed person; naturally, she wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.

"As long as you understand that principle, it’s fine," Guo Yang continued, "I have another arrangement with a friend, so don’t tell your brother and sister-in-law that I’ve been to Qing City."

Although Shen Zhiqiang was now in the hospital, and as his brother-in-law, he should pay a visit,

the situation with the Shen family was too dire.

Any smart person would know to keep themselves safe.

"Mm-hmm." Shen Qianqian nodded, she understood implicitly what her husband meant.

Guo Yang then said, "I’ll go first."

With that, Guo Yang turned and left.

After Guo Yang left, Shen Qianqian went to the hospital room.

Compared to yesterday, Shen Zhiqiang’s condition had improved considerably.

"Brother, what would you like for lunch? I’ll buy it for you."

"Just some porridge will do," Shen Zhiqiang said.

"Alright." Shen Qianqian nodded, opened the food delivery app, and started to place an order.

Shen Zhiqiang looked at his sister, seemingly wanting to say something, yet he didn’t know how to begin.

However, it was Shen Qianqian who spoke first, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead," Shen Zhiqiang said.

Shen Qianqian continued, "Miss Zhang from Zhang Group came to the company today."

"What did she come for?" Shen Zhiqiang frowned slightly.

Shen Qianqian sat by the bed, "Zhang Xianxian is a rare good person. Look at what’s left of our Shen’s now, yet she’s still willing to offer ten million for the acquisition! But my sister-in-law had the audacity to refuse."

Talking about this matter made Shen Qianqian furious.

If it weren’t for Loo Xiyue’s refusal to see reason, she could have already owned shares in Zhang Group by now!

Upon hearing the last sentence, Shen Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I support your sister-in-law’s decision."

"What?" Shen Qianqian’s eyes widened.

She had assumed that discussing this matter with Shen Zhiqiang would bring him to her side.

But to her surprise...

Shen Zhiqiang reacted in such a way!

Shen Zhiqiang added, "Shen’s is my life’s work, no matter what it becomes, even if it ends up declaring bankruptcy, I won’t sell it off cheaply."

Having said this, Shen Zhiqiang paused to consider his choice of words, then said, "Qianqian, I have a premonition that Shen’s won’t just collapse like this, so..."

"So what?" Shen Qianqian asked, puzzled.

Shen Zhiqiang continued, "So I want to take a gamble."

Gamble?

Shen Qianqian frowned slightly.

She had already consulted professionals, and the current state of Shen Group was an outright shell, equivalent to a salted fish that remained a salted fish even after flipping over—there was no chance of rising again.

"How do you plan to gamble?" Shen Qianqian asked.

Shen Zhiqiang went on, "Qianqian, I know you and Guo Yang must have saved some money over these past few years, and I was thinking, could you take out your savings..."

Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in Shen Qianqian’s heart, and before Shen Zhiqiang even finished speaking, she began to feign poverty, "Brother, even though it seems like Guo Yang and I have lived comfortably these past few years, it’s just a facade. Guo Yang’s company has never really taken off. If it weren’t for the annual dividends from Shen’s, we’d be left out in the cold! Where would we have any savings? Brother, you’re overestimating us!"

Shen Zhiqiang was no fool; he knew his sister wasn’t telling the truth.

Though her husband’s company wasn’t doing too well, it wasn’t losing money either. Throughout the years, the couple could at least skim eight million a year off him.

In ten years, that was several hundred million.

How could his sister and brother-in-law not have any savings?

However, Shen Zhiqiang could also understand his sister’s dilemma, and he continued, "Qianqian, you have to trust my judgment. Fifty million, I just need fifty million. When Shen’s rises again, I’ll give you half the shares right away!"

Under normal circumstances, Shen Qianqian would have agreed immediately.

But not now!

Shen Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and if she invested another fifty million, wouldn’t that be like throwing good money after bad?

"Brother, we really have no money!" Shen Qianqian insisted, "You see, Guo Yang and I are not only raising three kids, but we also have two elders to care for. Eating, drinking, living expenses, which doesn’t need money? Let alone fifty million, even five million would be difficult for us to come up with!"

Shen Zhiqiang looked at his sister, hesitated, and then said, "Well, then make it twenty million!"

Right now, Shen Zhiqiang was in dire need of the money to get by.
