Shen Tianjun’s phone call was simple: he wanted Shen Lang to go to Wangbei Teahouse.
Regarding Shen Tianjun, his father, Shen Lang didn’t have much affection. It wasn't just now; he never had.
Shen Lang remembered that Shen Tianjun was basically never home when he was young. And whenever he did return, he would be chatting with a group of uncles and aunts, essentially ignoring him.
However, since he was his biological father, Shen Lang couldn't just ignore him. He took Gu Qinghan and headed to Wangbei Teahouse.
When Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan arrived at the teahouse, they went straight to the seventh floor. They saw Shen Tianjun holding a cup with tea in it, leaning by the window, leisurely sipping his tea.
Behind Shen Tianjun stood a tall, stunningly beautiful woman. This person was none other than Shen Tianjun's secretary, Su Rongrong.
“Young Master Shen, Miss Gu, Men Shuai has been waiting for you for quite some time,” Su Rongrong said with a smile upon seeing Shen Lang arrive with Gu Qinghan.
This was Shen Lang’s first time meeting Su Rongrong, but with just one glance, he knew this woman was no ordinary person.
She was unfathomable, this Su Rongrong. Standing right in front of you, eerily still, you couldn’t fathom her thoughts or her intentions.
However, Shen Lang didn’t pay Su Rongrong too much attention. He held Gu Qinghan’s hand and walked directly to Shen Tianjun before sitting down.
“Shen Lang, I heard you and Qinghan are getting married. I’m very happy,” Shen Tianjun said, using tongs to pick up two teacups and placing them steadily before Shen Lang and Gu Qinghan. After pouring a cup of clear tea for them, he smiled, “I’ve been very busy lately and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend your wedding. If there’s anything you need me to do, please don’t hesitate to ask. I guarantee it won’t be a problem.”
“Dad, we don’t need anything, so you don’t have to worry,” Shen Lang looked at Shen Tianjun and said with a smile, “If you can attend the wedding, Qinghan and I would be very happy.”
Shen Tianjun had already given Shen Lang so much, just Nan Guo Technology alone made him immensely grateful. He dared not think of anything else.
“Alright, if I’m free then, I will attend on time,” Shen Tianjun looked at Shen Lang with doting eyes and smiled, “When you disappeared, you were just a little kid. I never expected that the next time I see you, you would not only be getting married but also be a father. Life’s events are truly mysterious.”
“Dad, you can tell that Qinghan is pregnant?” Shen Lang asked in surprise upon hearing Shen Tianjun’s words.
Shen Lang’s medical skills were superb, but even he needed to take a pulse to confirm a pregnancy. Yet Shen Tianjun had deduced this just by looking at Gu Qinghan. How could Shen Lang not be astonished?
Gu Qinghan, upon hearing this, was equally shocked.
This was the first time Gu Qinghan had met her father-in-law, but she wasn’t unfamiliar with Shen Tianjun’s reputation. She had heard many stories about him since she was very young.
Twenty years ago, Shen Tianjun was a legend. He had created countless miracles and achieved things that others dared not even dream of. His power was universally acknowledged.
Gu Qinghan grew up listening to Shen Tianjun’s stories. But when she finally met him years later, she found him even more mysterious and unfathomable than she had imagined.
Shen Tianjun was sitting right in front of her, yet Gu Qinghan felt as if she were facing an endless abyss. As you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.
However, the abyss could clearly see the secrets in your heart, yet you could never truly see through the abyss.
“What? Is this difficult?” Shen Tianjun looked at the stunned Shen Lang and smiled, “Qinghan’s pregnancy isn’t very obvious yet, but I can hear it from the beating of her pulse. Not bad, twins. It seems our Shen family’s fortune for this generation is quite good.”
Saying this, Shen Tianjun looked at Gu Qinghan with a hint of shame. “Qinghan, this is our first meeting, and I haven’t prepared any good gifts for you. But don’t worry, I will present a generous gift on your wedding day.”
“Thank you, Dad,” Gu Qinghan said with a slight smile upon hearing Shen Tianjun’s words.
“Dad, why did you suddenly want to meet for tea?” Seeing that the pleasantries were mostly over, Shen Lang got straight to the point, “You’re like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail; your time is very precious. You wouldn’t have invited me for tea for no reason, right?”
“Haha, you brat, I know you’re mocking me for not spending enough time with you since you were young, but what can I do? Some things are more important than accompanying family and children,” Shen Tianjun sighed, “My apologies to you can only be made up for slowly in the future.”
Having said this, Shen Tianjun’s tone suddenly changed. “After you successfully took seventy percent of Nan Guo Technology’s shares last time, have you visited the company?”
“This… I really haven’t,” Shen Lang scratched his head and said, “As you know, I’ve been very busy. These past few days, I’ve been occupied with the grand martial arts competition.”
“Sigh… you brat… you really can’t distinguish between what’s important and what’s urgent,” Shen Tianjun looked at Shen Lang and sighed. “On the night of the banquet, after you successfully seized power, you should have immediately convened a shareholders’ meeting to further consolidate your control. You should have sidelined Tang Jun with lightning speed and taken control of Nan Guo Technology. The time when others are caught off guard is the best opportunity.”
“As a result, you delayed for a few days, causing you to miss the best opportunity. Now, it’s not that easy to control Nan Guo Technology anymore.”
“After all, controlling a listed company worth ten trillion is not as simple as a share transfer agreement. The complexities are far beyond what you imagine.”
“Is it that difficult?” Shen Lang asked with a smile, “Dad, are you testing me?”
“Do you have a plan?” Shen Tianjun smiled as he looked at Shen Lang’s confident expression. “Don’t tell me these few days were deliberately left for Tang Jun and them, as part of a larger strategy.”
“Ah… I really didn’t think that far ahead. However, I haven’t stopped preparing to control Nan Guo Technology. While I was busy these three days, my junior brother was also busy,” Shen Lang said with a smile. “My junior brother has never disappointed me, not in the past, not now, and never in the future.”
“That kid called Wolong?” Shen Tianjun smiled, “How could I forget that kid? With him around, you indeed don’t need to worry.”
“Dad, you know Wolong?” Shen Lang asked, quite surprised to hear Shen Tianjun mention Wolong’s name, and seeming to know him very well.
“I know him. His father brought him to see me when he was young, and I gave him his name. However, that was over twenty years ago.”
