After Returning Home, the Female CEO Unexpectedly Gave Birth to a Daughter for Me Chapter 50

But in the end, she still said nothing. She turned and left.

Only Shen Qingyan remained alone in the office.

She rubbed at her brow, which she could not stop from furrowing.

Whether it was anger or grievance,

the top priority now was still finding a way to salvage Shen Group's crisis...

Yet the root of the crisis lay in its broken capital chain.

And now that things had reached such a desperate point, where could she possibly find another investment?

Moreover, there was something else that left her utterly baffled...

How could Shengtang Group, which had already verbally promised to invest, suddenly go back on its word?!

Could it be...

that they had been a scam from the very beginning?

Thinking it over...

That had to be it!

She had suspected as much at the time.

How could Shengtang Group possibly inject funds into a worthless company like hers?

Besides, they had been the ones to approach her...

After pondering for a long time, she still could not think of a solution.

Shen Qingyan gradually fell into despair.

What she feared was neither Shen Group's collapse nor being saddled with debt herself.

Rather,

she did not want her debts to affect Tang Yao...

And... Tang Chen...

Yet when she thought of the latter,

she smiled bitterly again.

Perhaps...

she was simply overthinking things.

The affection she thought he had for her...

might have been nothing more than an illusion.

That plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce had probably just been a coincidence as well...

Just then,

the phone she had just used and was still holding rang.

Glancing at the unfamiliar number, Shen Qingyan answered in confusion.

"Hello? President Shen, hello. I'm Liu An, chief assistant to the chairman of Shengtang Group. Regarding the investment in Shen Group that we agreed upon last time, we have finalized the details on our end."

"???"

Shen Qingyan was dumbfounded.

What did this mean?

Had they not already abandoned the investment?

Why were they calling again and saying this?

Was there... any point in continuing to scam Shen Group now?

She shook her head, said nothing, and hung up directly.

Yet the moment she did,

the phone rang again.

Shen Qingyan frowned, answered it, and said, "Mr. Liu An, your goal has already been achieved. Shen Group is beyond saving now, so there's no need to keep calling to scam me. You're wasting your own phone bill and breath!"

"!!!"

On the other end of the line,

hearing the suppressed fury in Shen Qingyan's voice,

Liu An felt a chill run down his spine.

He hurriedly said, "President Shen, please don't get upset. I'm not a scammer. I'm downstairs at the Shen Group building right now. I brought the contract with me. As long as you find the terms acceptable, I can authorize the funds on the spot!"

"..."

Shen Qingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Liu An's words made her doubtful again...

After thinking it over, she ultimately decided to meet Liu An one more time.

After all, given Shen Group's current state, there was nothing left to be scammed out of anyway.

Besides, he had already said as much.

She wanted to see

just how he planned to release the funds on the spot!

Shen Qingyan sat behind her desk.

Looking at the duplicate contract on the desk and the company account balance displayed on her computer screen,

she still found it utterly surreal.

She had originally thought Liu An was a scammer.

Under those circumstances, anyone would have thought the same.

Yet the result was...

After signing the contract, Liu An fiddled with his phone for a moment and said that he had already transferred the investment funds into Shen Group's corporate account.

At the time, she still did not believe him.

After all, how could such an enormous transfer arrive so quickly?

Yet when she checked the company account details...

she froze.

A string of digits filled with zeros stood out glaringly before her.

And the sender's account name was none other than Shengtang Group!

She stared blankly at her phone for a long time. Only after Liu An confirmed that the funds had arrived and left did she finally come back to her senses.

The contract she had signed was real!

Liu An, the assistant to Shengtang Group's chairman...

was most likely real too!

But...

why would Shengtang Group choose to invest in Shen Group?

And why, after abandoning the investment, had it immediately decided to invest again?

As she recalled everything that had happened recently in utter confusion, she suddenly thought of a possibility...

They had done this to help her!!

But the instant the thought surfaced, she dismissed it.

She knew her own worth.

She did not believe that she or Shen Group possessed enough value for a giant like Shengtang Group to go to such lengths to help them.

But if that was not the reason, then what was?

Strange!

Far too strange!

Unable to find even a single clue, she shook her head and temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart. Then she picked up the desk phone and said, "Lin Yue, notify every department. Have all managers and supervisors report to the main conference room immediately for a meeting."
