Chapter 941: Long Time No See, Shen Xinhe
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded immediately upon hearing this.
"Alright, I'll quickly handle the current matters and then set out for the Northeast."
After studying the Immortal Cutting Flying Saber again, he began breathing exercises and recuperation.
In the endless night, the spiritual energy from the Qinling Mountains gathered around Zhang Xiaoshan. The next day, he returned to the Blue and White Courtyard to rest.
...
Tianhai City.
In the top-floor meeting room of a towering commercial building.
A cold and stunning beauty dressed in a black professional outfit sat in the chairman's seat, her sharp eyes gazing at the veteran tycoons present.
The woman's beauty could be described as captivating but excessively cold, her enchanting face seeming to be coated with a layer of frost.
She was none other than Shen Xinhe, who had not been seen for a long time.
Now, Shen Xinhe managed the Haiseng Shipping Group after returning home, especially with her Golden Crow Bloodline being unlocked, her strength had advanced rapidly, she was no longer the pitiful figure bullied in White Dragon Village.
"How are the conditions of the ports under everyone's control?"
Shen Xinhe asked the crowd coldly and indifferently.
Haiseng Shipping Company was renamed after the founding of the country; previously, port-related industries were controlled by various syndicates. Shen Xinhe's grandfather was once the controller of the largest syndicate in Tianhai, which later transformed into Haiseng Shipping Company, growing step by step to become one of the top three shipping companies in Huaxia.
Especially because of the syndicate background, there is still a certain underworld atmosphere within the company. Their overall power is slightly greater than that of the Northeast Flying Fox Sect.
Among those seated were many who had followed Shen Xinhe's grandfather, now responsible for various ports, each controlling thousands of workers.
Any single veteran, taken to an Earth-level city elsewhere, would have unparalleled influence.
Now, nearly all have been subdued by Shen Xinhe.
As Shen Xinhe asked, everyone began to speak.
"After the old chairman passed away, many of the company's businesses were snatched by other companies. Since you returned to lead the company, the situation has changed somewhat but remains dire."
"Several shipping companies inland have united, monopolizing domestic transportation. We hardly have any domestic business, relying on overseas shipping to barely support ourselves."
"But I've heard they're planning to unite for overseas shipping too, with much lower freight costs than us. If this continues, Haiseng Group will be eaten away step by step."
"Haiseng Group is the lifelong effort of us old fellows. We can't just watch it be destroyed."
"Yes, we can't let the group be destroyed."
Everyone spoke up.
Taking the opportunity, Shen Xinhe's second uncle, Shen Tianyuan, challenged her.
"Xinhe, I have no objection to you being the chairman and CEO of the Haiseng Group, but you've been in office for almost two months now, and the company is getting worse, which means you're incompetent. It can't go on like this, or Haiseng will be ruined at your hands."
"That's right."
A supporter of Shen Tianyuan stood up and said.
"I agree with Second Young Master Shen. I think Second Young Master Shen is older, has more connections, and is more stable in handling matters. I see that Second Young Master Shen should be the chairman."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The others seated raised their hands to express agreement.
Clearly, they had long been bought by Shen Tianyuan.
All in one accord.
A flash of killing intent passed in Shen Xinhe's beautiful eyes, she said coldly.
"What if I disagree?"
"Disagree?"
Shen Tianyuan looked at Shen Xinhe with a smile.
"Xinhe, power speaks in Haiseng Group."
"Aren't you relying on your Qi Condensation cultivation? Coincidentally, a few days ago, I got an elixir and fortunately broke through to Qi Condensation myself. Now, my strength as your uncle is not inferior to yours."
As he spoke, Shen Tianyuan raised his hand and lightly pressed on the heavy conference table.
Immediately, a one-centimeter deep palm print appeared on the table.
"Congratulations, Second Young Master Shen."
Everyone applauded and supported.
"Xinhe, how do you think your uncle's tactic is?"
Shen Tianyuan looked at Shen Xinhe arrogantly.
Clearly intending to rely on force to threaten Shen Xinhe for power.
"Heh."
Shen Xinhe glanced at Shen Tianyuan, her eyes full of mockery.
"Boom."
Immediately after, a massive surge of golden True Qi erupted from her body.
The True Qi carried scorching heat.
It seemed like golden flames, forming a golden firebird around her body.
"Boom..."
The conference table instantly shattered into four pieces, everyone in the room was forced to kneel on the ground.
"That, that is True Qi Transformation?"
"You, you reached Qi Transformation Realm?"
The previously arrogant Shen Tianyuan now moaned in despair, looking disheartened.
"Correct, I have reached Qi Transformation, uncle, now how do you find my tactic?"
Shen Xinhe gazed coldly at Shen Tianyuan.
The Qi Transformation Realm's pressure made Shen Tianyuan's bones creak unbearably.
"Good, very good, with such strength, leading Sea God Group, uncle supports it one hundred percent."
Shen Tianyuan shamelessly changed his stance immediately.
After all, one's life is most important.
"And what about the rest of you?"
Shen Xinhe looked at the others.
They immediately showed their support.
"We absolutely trust you."
"Hmph."
Shen Xinhe retracted her True Qi Golden Crow.
"I disdain scheming with you here, but don't think I'm a fool; recently, at several bidding events Haiseng Group participated in, all ended in failure, with the reason being other companies knew Haiseng's bid price beforehand. Could such confidential information be leaked easily? There must be a traitor in our senior management. I won't dispute it now, but if anyone dares to betray again, I'll be merciless."
These words were clearly directed at Shen Tianyuan.
Shen Tianyuan's old face turned red, he remained silent.
Shen Xinhe continued.
"Now, I announce something: On the fifth of May, Dragon Boat Festival, I'll hold the Jianghai Conference."
"Hold the Jianghai Conference?"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
