Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

After leaving the Imperial Examination Hall, Si Tong returned to his previous dull yet busy study life.

Apart from attending classes and hanging out in the library and study room, I would go to Huahe Hospital to accompany my aunt and Yangyang.

The injuries of both of them were quite serious and it would take more than ten days or half a month to recover, especially my aunt, who was on the verge of death several times. Si Tong wanted her to fully recover before being discharged from the hospital.

In order to obtain a letter of forgiveness, the He family paid a large sum of hospitalization fees for the two of them in one go, enough for them to use until they were discharged from the hospital.

"Sister, the water spilled." Yangyang's childish voice brought Si Tong back to his senses.

Si Tong came back to her senses and looked down to see the water in the cup overflowing and flowing down the table to the floor. She quickly put down the kettle and took a tissue to wipe the table and floor.

My aunt looked at her worriedly, "Tongtong, are you worried about something?"

In the past few days, Si Tong would always lose consciousness like this. After it happened so many times, her aunt realized that something was wrong with her.

Si Tong squatted down, lowered his eyes and wiped the water off the floor. When he threw the paper into the trash can, he slowly said, "No."

"That's the bad thing about you, child. You like to keep everything in your heart." Aunt sighed.

Si Tong curled the corners of his mouth.

She stayed with the two of them until nine o'clock and then left the ward.

She took the VIP elevator to the first floor and was slightly startled when she saw Chen Jingxian standing outside the elevator hall.

Chen Jingxian was wearing a dark grey windbreaker, a very formal style. He was tall and was facing sideways towards the elevator hall while making a phone call. At first glance, he looked a bit like that man.

Chen Jingxian's mother had surgery at Huahe Hospital. Due to some complications later on, she had been staying in the hospital for treatment. The two met by chance.

Knowing that Si Tong's family was in the hospital, she always stayed with her family until very late before returning to school. Chen Jingxian always waited for her to go back together.

Chen Jingxian caught a glimpse of Si Tong out of the corner of his eye, and ended the call and walked towards her.

Noticing the girl's red eyes, he was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with you?"

Si Tong said nothing and walked out of the inpatient building.

There were not many people on the subway at this time and there were still empty seats. Si Tong sat there quietly. Chen Jingxian tried to find topics to chat with her. As they were talking, he remembered something.

"Tomorrow is the New Energy Exchange Summit of the School of Physics and the School of Chemistry. I heard that Dean Gao invited the head of Huangsheng Group to give a speech. Many people said they want to go and see what the richest man in Haicheng looks like."

"This Huangsheng CEO has been able to develop a company from one that is fraught with crisis to a scale that no one can shake. He must be full of business knowledge. Whatever he says will benefit people a lot. There is no class tomorrow, Saturday. Let's go together?"

When talking about this long-renowned entrepreneur in Haicheng, Chen Jingxian's tone was full of respect.

Si Tong's hands on his legs slowly clenched, his knuckles turning white, but his tone was calm and cool: "I have other plans."

There was a hint of disappointment in Chen Jingxian's eyes, but he didn't force it.

When I returned to the dormitory, only Ji Niannian was there. Li Xiaoxuan was busy with club affairs, and Fang Xinran was working part-time.

After taking a shower, Si Tong climbed onto the bed and flipped through a book called "Probability Theory" while waiting for his hair to dry.

Ji Niannian immediately crawled over and got into her bed, sticking beside her and watching TV series on her tablet.

Si Tong finished reading one page and was about to turn to the next when Ji Niannian's phone rang.

After the call was connected, I didn't know what was said on the phone. Ji Niannian suddenly raised her voice: "What? Uncle had a stroke?"

Ji Niannian's uncle is He Huanshan.

Si Tong paused as he turned the pages of the book. After Ji Niannian answered the phone, she looked at Si Tong in shock and said, "My uncle was sent to the hospital because of my third cousin."

Without waiting for Si Tong to ask what was going on, Ji Niannian said, "You know that my third cousin used your letter of apology to exchange 25% of the shares from my uncle, right?"

"This afternoon, my third cousin convened a shareholders' meeting as the largest shareholder of the He Group and proposed to dissolve the He Group on the grounds that the business term had expired."

A large enterprise cannot be dissolved at will, especially when it is not facing operational difficulties.

Although the He Group was caught up in a public opinion storm, which caused its stock price to plummet, there were no problems with its operations.

However, if the business term stipulated in the company's articles of association expires, a shareholders' meeting can be held to decide whether to apply to the relevant authorities for an extension to continue operations or to dissolve the company and liquidate its assets.

Si Tong didn't understand business operations, but such a big thing as dissolving the group couldn't be decided by Yu Hanshen alone.

Thinking of this, Ji Niannian gave an answer:

"Originally, my third cousin took 25% of my uncle's shares and was only the second largest shareholder. I don't know when he secretly acquired another 20% and suddenly became the largest shareholder."

"Then he joined forces with a dozen other small shareholders and passed a proposal to dissolve the He Corporation with two-thirds of the votes in favor, which made my uncle so angry that he fainted on the spot."

After saying that, Ji Niannian's facial features wrinkled into a ball, "Third cousin, this is too cruel, isn't it? He is my uncle after all, how can he not show any mercy?"

The He Group is one of the largest companies in Beijing. Such a big event as its dissolution must have been widely reported in the financial news a long time ago.

Si Tong opened the mobile browser and clicked on the financial section. Sure enough, he saw news about the He Group in the financial news column.

[The demise of leading enterprises: Heshi Group’s shareholders’ meeting passed a proposal to dissolve the company]

It was a very standard report. It neither mentioned He Huanshan fainting and being sent to the hospital, nor did it mention Yu Hanshen. Between the lines, it expressed regret over the disbandment of the He family.

Si Tong held the phone in his hand, thinking of Yu Hanshen's solemn words: I will definitely avenge my grandmother and my aunt.

There is also a calm and ruthless sentence: To deal with her, we must cut off the source of the trouble.

Originally, I thought that Yu Hanshen was planning to take over the He Group for himself. Given his nature as a businessman, maximizing profits was what he should do.

But I didn't expect that it would directly cause the He Group to disappear.

It must have cost a lot of money to secretly acquire shares, and joining forces with other small shareholders to pass the dissolution proposal must have also given those small shareholders enough benefits.

Otherwise, how could those small shareholders agree to such a proposal that would harm their own interests?

Ji Niannian booked a flight that night and rushed to the airport to return to Beijing early the next morning.

Si Tong went to Huahe Hospital.

After lunch, my aunt coaxed Yangyang to take a nap. When she looked up, she saw Si Tong staring out the window in a daze.

Just as he was about to ask something, Si Tong's cell phone rang.

Si Tong checked his phone. It was a WeChat call from the squad leader. The squad leader said, "Come to the Memorial Hall. We are short of a few people for the New Energy Exchange Summit."

Si Tong was a little surprised and frowned slightly, "That's the matter of the Physics Department and the Chemistry Department. Why did you ask me to help?"

She is not a student of these two colleges.

"I'm not sure. The head teacher gave us a list and asked us to go over. Your name is on it. I'm only responsible for notifying people. Go over quickly." The monitor said and hung up.

Si Tong: “…”

In addition to miscellaneous tasks such as preparing materials and having tea breaks, the exchange meeting also requires a few etiquette guides.

When Si Tong arrived at the memorial hall, someone immediately stuffed a red and yellow ribbon with the words "etiquette reception" printed on it. "It's about to start. Familiarize yourself with the seats of the distinguished guests. When people arrive, you and the others will be responsible for guiding them to their seats."

Si Tong's eyes swept across the seat cards one by one, and when he saw the words "Yu Hanshen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Huangsheng Group", his fingers clenched the ribbon in front of him.
