After Returning Home, The Female CEO Actually Gave Me A Daughter Chapter 24

A while ago, he had felt an immense emptiness from the meaninglessness of life.

But now.

That emptiness had been completely filled by the sudden appearance of the mother and daughter. He felt that his once-lost life now had a vague new direction...

After soaking in the hot spring and rinsing off, Tang Yao, exhausted, hit the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

But Shen Qingyan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She realized that she might truly be developing feelings for Tang Chen...

Yet once she truly acknowledged this.

A strong resistance rose in her heart.

She dared not open her heart.

She was afraid.

After all.

A person can be lonely forever.

But once they taste what warmth, companionship, and comfort feel like.

They can never return to loneliness again...

: Anxious shareholders of the Shen Group! Don't want to drag Tang Chen down! 10 updates for collections

"What's going on!"

"Still no movement from the investors?"

In the meeting room, Lin Qingying was slamming the table and roaring again.

Three days had passed since the last meeting.

In those three days, many projects had already collapsed from lack of support, yet the investors still had no news.

At this rate, within another week, the entire Shen Group would crumble and file for bankruptcy...

"The other side keeps saying the plan hasn't been finalized and to wait a bit longer," the tall, thin man replied.

"How many more days have passed?!"

"Can we wait? Can the company's projects wait?"

Lin Qingying was furious.

The tall, thin man lowered his head.

He was just a messenger; what use was it for Lin Qingying to vent his anger at him...

"Manager Lin, maybe we should go to President Shen?"

He said, "After all, this investment was brought in by President Shen."

The moment he said this.

The faces of Lin Qingying and Feng Xin and the others all darkened.

They had gone to great lengths to snatch the investment matters away from Shen Qingyan, and now they had to go back to her?

Wasn't that a complete slap in the face?

"Alright, you can leave now."

Lin Qingying said displeasedly.

The tall, thin man didn't waste a word and got up to leave immediately.

Lin Qingying grew even angrier.

He slammed the table hard, wanting to vent, but since the man had already left, all his rage was bottled back up, his face looking as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

He took a deep breath and said to the group, "Everyone, don't worry. Wait a bit longer. It's probably because the investment amount is too large, and the other side needs time to finalize the contract."

"As for the company's projects... we'll cover the costs ourselves for now, tough it out for a few days. Once this period passes, everything will get better!!"

Cover the costs themselves?

The shareholders exchanged glances.

Clearly.

They didn't want to pay.

But for now, this was the only option.

Otherwise, with projects stalled, what qualifications would they have to attract investment?

Happy times are always short-lived.

Three days passed in a flash, and Tang Chen and the others set off on their journey back to Magic City.

These three days had been the happiest time for Shen Qingyan in the past five years.

But at the same time, she felt even more conflicted.

She didn't know how to face her own heart...

After dropping Tang Yao off at kindergarten, Shen Qingyan instinctively headed for the company.

On the way, she remembered that although she was still the president, she had already handed over all her tasks. She let out a self-deprecating laugh, pulled out her phone, and sent Xu Nan a message: "Free? I'm coming over, bringing my own red wine."

"?"

Xu Nan replied with a question mark: "Free, yeah, but what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, we'll talk when I get there."

After sending the reply, Shen Qingyan said, "Sister Lin, head to Qinghewan."

"Alright, President Shen."

"Boss, the Magic City project has already kicked off."

On the treadmill, Tang Chen was sweating profusely.

Liu An stood behind him, holding a tablet, and said, "Nearly a hundred local Magic City companies have submitted bidding proposals to headquarters. After screening, we've selected twenty-three enterprises that meet the scale requirements. Here's the list. If it looks good to you, we can announce the bidding gala."

Tang Chen gradually slowed his pace on the treadmill and came to a stop.

He wiped his sweat, took a sip of mineral water, and took the iPad from Liu An's hand to browse through it.

"No issues. Add the Shen Group as well."

"But the Shen Group didn't submit a bid..." Liu An said.

"If they didn't bid, then invite them." Tang Chen smiled and handed the iPad back.

Liu An took the iPad and instinctively wiped his sweat.

He found himself having a tough time lately.

Everything concerning Shen Qingyan and her daughter was hard for him to figure out.

Luckily, Tang Chen's temper had improved a lot recently.

Otherwise...

Liu An quickly nodded. "Got it. Boss, the bidding meeting is set for this day. Does that work for you?"

Tang Chen glanced at it briefly and shook his head. "No problem."

By then, the Shen Group matter should be wrapping up, and the entire company would be back on track.

"Alright, I'll arrange it now."

Liu An nodded, then added, "Oh, right, boss. My sister has finished this year's annual summary. She asked me to check when you're free."

"I'm free now. Have her come over." Tang Chen thought for a moment and said.

His daily schedule was a bit unpredictable these days—the little girl might have something come up at any time.

"Okay, I'll notify her right away."

At Qinghewan.

The decanted red wine was poured into a goblet. Shen Qingyan picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.

Watching this, Xu Nan was a bit stunned and furrowed her brows deeply. "Qingyan, what's going on with you?"

"Weren't you skiing just yesterday? Why are you drowning your sorrows today?"

"Did that jerk mess with you?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head. "No, it's my own problem."
