Chapter 12: Scheming Against Shen Jinlin

    Song Yichen returned to his room, his mind filled with the image of Shen Xingyang looking up at him. How hadn’t he noticed before how big Shen Xingyang’s eyes were? They made his heart itch, as if he was bewitched.

    To calm himself down, Song Yichen busied himself by finding a few books and reading them earnestly. But how much he actually absorbed was probably only known to him.

    That incident didn’t affect the two of them. After clarifying things, their interactions remained the same as before.

    “Really going to measure?”

    Shen Xingyang looked at the weighing scale in front of him, then at Song Yichen’s expectant expression. He felt he would disappoint Song Yichen.

    “Measure! Why not? Let me see quickly.”

    Song Yichen seemed very excited, insisting that Shen Xingyang measure.

    Helpless, Shen Xingyang could only step onto it. Seeing the numbers, he smiled in surprise, “I’ve gained half a kilogram!”

    Song Yichen looked at the number, utterly puzzled and somewhat disbelieving.

    “What’s going on? After a month of nourishing, you only gained half a kilogram?”

    Song Yichen was starting to doubt his life. The menu for Shen Xingyang was something he had researched for a long time, and he monitored Shen Xingyang with various tests every day. Yet, he only gained half a kilogram?

    Shen Xingyang stepped off the scale, patting Song Yichen, “Doctor Song, my weight hasn’t increased since I became an adult. This is already very good.”

    Shen Xingyang was quite happy, but Song Yichen, on the other hand, looked troubled, probably feeling defeated.

    After all, he had boasted to his brother, but now, a month had passed with little progress. Of course, he felt uncomfortable.

    “No, I need to research further.”

    Song Yichen said as he lowered his head and went to his room. Shen Xingyang smiled helplessly and also returned to his room.

    “Xingyang, this is the new product launch plan. See if there are any problems.”

    Shen Xingyang took it and read through it, his brow furrowing tightly. The new product was a high-end wardrobe, made with the most expensive materials. The hanging rod inside was gold-plated with silver, intended to make it look more upscale and valuable.

    However, the sides fixing the hanging rod used finger-jointed boards. This used less glue, making it very environmentally friendly, and it wouldn’t have any other odors to suppress the fragrance of the solid wood itself, so the clothes hanging inside would smell good.

    These things were not a problem, but adding the gold-plated silver hanging rod would make the finger-jointed board unable to bear the weight. Over time, it would cause a large piece of the finger-jointed board to collapse.

    He seemed to recall this happening in his past life, but he had stopped it. At the time, he tried his best to prevent this new product from entering the market, but no one wanted to believe him.

    He made a military pledge to stop it, but those people still didn’t believe him, and they continued to blame him afterward, saying that he had caused losses because of him.

    Shen Xingyang suddenly thought of something, smiled, and put the plan into the drawer: “Xiao Qi, I heard you’re going on a business trip with the marketing department manager today, right?”

    Didn’t Shen Jinlin like to steal credit? If he offered it to him, he shouldn’t refuse! Everyone in the company knew that the marketing department manager’s mouth was like a walking loudspeaker. What he knew was equivalent to the entire company knowing.

    Xiao Qi nodded, “What’s wrong?”

    Shen Xingyang motioned for him to come closer and whispered his plan to him.

    Xiao Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.

    “Shen, I heard from the marketing department that this new product is very creative, and all the materials used are the best. Once it enters the market, it will definitely be snatched up by those dignitaries. Shen Xingyang is deliberately suppressing the new product’s plan in order to be in charge himself and grab all the credit this time.”

    Shen Jinlin exploded upon hearing this.

    “Shen Xingyang is getting bolder and bolder. He can directly bypass me now? Just because he is a sickly invalid, he wants to steal my credit?”

    Shen Jinlin was furious. He thought Shen Xingyang was an honest person, but he didn’t expect him to use such tricks.

    “Call him in.”

    “You were right, Shen Jinlin took the bait.”

    Shen Xingyang tapped the table. Shen Jinlin took the bait too quickly, without any brains at all. The plan was proceeding more smoothly than he had imagined.

    Shen Xingyang took out the plan: “Xiao Qi, you stay here and keep watch. I’ll go meet him.”

    Shen Xingyang took the plan and went to the general manager’s office: “General Manager Shen.”

    Shen Jinlin lazily propped his legs on the table, wearing a disdainful smile: “Deputy General Manager Shen, the new product plan is stuck with you, right? What, do you think those people won’t recognize it if I don’t sign it?”

    Shen Xingyang looked confused, looking around, appearing somewhat aggrieved: “General Manager Shen, I’m looking at the plan not to steal credit, it’s that the new product temporarily has some problems. I wanted someone to check it again before giving it to you to sign.”

    Shen Xingyang’s words lacked confidence, even deliberately avoiding Shen Jinlin’s gaze.

    Shen Jinlin put his legs down: “Whether there are problems or not is not up to you to decide. I am the general manager. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning.”

    “I said that the new product’s design has problems. You can think whatever you want, but I won’t sign it anyway. If there is one less procedure, those below won’t recognize it.”

    Shen Xingyang looked very angry, completely losing his previous composure.

    But in Shen Jinlin’s eyes, this was Shen Xingyang’s goal being exposed, and he was flying into a rage out of humiliation.

    “I will ask Dad for instructions. As for you, don’t even think about participating in this plan.”

    As Shen Jinlin spoke, he gestured to the people next to him to snatch the plan from Shen Xingyang’s hand.

    Shen Xingyang was unwilling to let go, but it was still taken away. Shen Xingyang looked at them and left angrily.

    Shen Jinlin took the plan, revealing a victorious smile: “Still saying there’s a problem with the design, Shen Xingyang can’t even make up a fresher reason.”

    After Shen Jinlin finished speaking, he quickly signed his name: “Give the plan to my dad, and say that Shen Xingyang voluntarily withdrew from the new product launch plan.”

    Usually, the people in the company say he is just a figurehead, and all the contracts are signed by Shen Xingyang. He wants everyone to know that he, Shen Xingyang, is nothing.

    Shen Jinlin quickly immersed himself in this plan, and the people below also produced it quickly, and they also promoted it extensively.

    Shen Xingyang paid attention to the number of sales on the official website, waiting for the later explosion.

    “There is a problem with your company’s new product.”

    Song Yichen saw that Shen Xingyang had been paying close attention to the sales of this new product these past few days, and worried that he would be disappointed, so he couldn’t help but say.

    “I know.”

    Shen Xingyang answered without any hesitation, completely unaware of the change in Song Yichen’s expression.

    “Aren’t you the vice president of Shen’s?”

    Song Yichen only felt puzzled. Since Shen Xingyang knew, why did he invest in production?

    “Didn’t you say it, it’s the vice one?”

    Shen Xingyang didn’t have much defense against Song Yichen, and directly said what was on his mind.

    Song Yichen looked at Shen Xingyang’s smile, and there was nothing he didn’t understand. Shen Xingyang was playing his tricks again!

    He didn’t even care about his own company. It was estimated that Shen’s losses would be very large this time.

    He didn’t know who was going to suffer this time.

    Shen Xingyang’s life was more colorful than his as the vice president of the hospital.

    “Okay, it’s almost time, don’t stay up late, go back and rest.”

    Shen Xingyang shook his head: “Doctor Song, you go to sleep first, I’m not sleepy.”

    Shen Xingyang still had to add a few more fires to Shen Jinlin, and he had to do it as soon as possible.

    Song Yichen looked at him like that, and was so angry that he grabbed Shen Xingyang’s hand and walked upstairs: “What do you mean by not sleepy, what time did you sleep last night, do you want me to tell you?”

    Song Yichen saw the reminder on his phone yesterday that Shen Xingyang only slept less than six hours last night. Yesterday was okay, but he’s still doing this today. Does he really treat himself like a normal person, thinking his body can handle staying up late?

    Only then did Shen Xingyang remember the existence of the medical wristband. He thought Song Yichen didn’t know, but he deliberately turned off the lights last night.

    “I’m telling you, if you stay up late and affect my treatment, I’ll make sure you can’t eat anything sweet anymore.”

    Shen Xingyang nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: “I won’t stay up.”

    Song Yichen’s expression improved a little after hearing this, and he turned around and went back to his room.

    Seeing that Song Yichen had left, Shen Xingyang hurriedly called Xiao Qi and handed over everything to him before going to sleep with peace of mind.

    He was relieved to hand things over to Xiao Qi. He didn’t want to increase Xiao Qi’s workload, but now he was afraid there was no other way.
