I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Blessing in Disguise_1

The Huya Guild’s founder, Pang Weizhi, was currently the second largest shareholder, enjoying the New Year’s Eve dinner with his family at his home.

But halfway through the meal, he received a call from a vice president of the guild who wasn’t returning home for the holiday, saying that the guild had received a lawyer’s letter.

When finding out what the situation was, Pang Weizhi nearly fainted on the spot.

In the afternoon, seeing Song Qianqian’s accusations against Shen Dong, he had been quite pleased.

After all, Dongyan Guild’s development was so fierce, it terrified him.

This incident would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to Dongyan Guild, and it might even collapse.

For the Huya Guild, it was an undoubtedly huge positive.

Unexpectedly, before long, the situation reversed, and the Huya Guild got dragged into it as well.

"Liu Chao, this bastard, pulling such a stunt and not even giving me a heads up," cursed Pang Weizhi through gritted teeth.

It was true that Wansheng Venture Capital, represented by Liu Chao, was the largest shareholder.

But as the founder and the second largest shareholder, for such a big issue, Liu Chao should have at least given him a heads up.

Liu Chao’s actions had essentially reduced him to a mere figurehead.

"If I had known Liu Chao would be so reckless, I should never have allowed Wansheng Venture Capital to invest," Pang Weizhi regretted.

He had thought that with the investment from Wansheng Venture Capital, the company would be able to develop further.

But not only did it not advance further, it backslid.

The incident had completely tarnished the reputation of Huya Guild, and who knew when it would recover—if ever.

Liu Chao, the bastard, using such tactics against other guilds, had truly wrecked the Huya Guild.

Such a guild would find it difficult to recruit other broadcasters, and it was something Doule didn’t want to see happen.

"Ah, what a misstep."

Pang Weizhi beat his chest and stamped his feet, heartbroken and anguished.

If not for the investment from Wansheng Venture Capital, the Huya Guild would have developed normally, maybe not becoming something special, but at least it could have maintained its top-tier position among guilds.

Now look, any notion of top-tier was out of reach, and who knew how long it would take to climb back up.

...

The Dong Family.

Dong Qikang and his son, both happily scrolling through Doule and enjoying their New Year’s Eve dinner, saw the reversal in Song Qianqian’s matter and their smiles immediately vanished from their faces.

The treasured Wuliangye baijiu they had taken out suddenly didn’t taste as good.

"How could such important recordings and videos not be hidden? Could these people be any stupider?" exclaimed Dong Junjie, seeming even angrier than those directly involved in the incident.

Dong Qikang’s expression was dark, and he said nothing.

The turnaround came too quickly, and he was truly struggling to accept it, at a loss for words.

"Liu Chao is nothing but trash, letting such evidence fall into others’ hands," Dong Junjie vented his dissatisfaction on Liu Chao.

Of course, he did this only at home.

In public, or in front of Liu Chao, he certainly wouldn’t dare to speak like this.

Otherwise, he would end up in a sorry state.

His words made Chen Yuting think a lot.

Considering what Liu Chao had done during this time, it really didn’t seem consistent with what he claimed.

At first, Liu Chao had assured her that the stock of Yaolai Technology would skyrocket, promising over a tenfold return, but then something went wrong, and all the money invested went down the drain.

Later, Chen Yuting said Shen Dong’s investment in gold and egg futures wouldn’t work out, but Shen Dong made tens of millions.

Then at An City’s appraisal event, where money was supposed to be made, Shen Dong walked away with "The Beacon Fire Map," while Liu Chao got nothing and his grandfather’s reputation suffered, forcing him to exit the antiques circle.

More recently, at the Jin City Jadeite Trading Market, Liu Chao claimed they could make money, but then he lost a ten million bet to Shen Dong.

When Shen Dong acquired the King’s Guild, Liu Chao called Shen Dong an idiot, but when the King’s Guild became Dongyan Guild, Shen Dong made a fortune.

When Shen Dong took over Meizizi Hot Pot and renamed it Shuidilao, Liu Chao said Shen Dong was courting death, yet Shuidilao became explosively popular.

Every time Liu Chao was wrong, and Shen Dong was right.

Once or twice might be luck, but not this many times—it can’t just be chalked up to luck.

It was certain that Shen Dong didn’t get to where he was by luck alone.

Right, Shen Dong also invested in "The Battle Tiger," and Liu Chao had belittled it too, saying it wouldn’t succeed at the box office.

However, some time ago "The Battle Tiger" had a limited screening, and the word of mouth was pretty good, so were the pre-sales.

Film critics commented that "The Battle Tiger" could very well become the dark horse of the Spring Festival season.

She had also watched the trailer for "The Battle Tiger".

Even as a woman, she felt that "The Battle Tiger" was well made.

Liu Chao’s judgment truly had issues; it was Shen Dong who really had the eye for talent.

Dong Qikang and his son hastily finished their New Year’s Eve dinner and then went out to find people to play mahjong with.

This was an essential part of their Lunar New Year’s Eve.

Every New Year’s Eve, they would never spend it at home together, let alone with Chen Yuting and Feng Lijuan.

They just went out to have fun, and wouldn’t return until after midnight to sleep.

As for the dishes, of course, Feng Lijuan cleaned them up.

Feng Lijuan was used to it, swiftly tidied up the dishes and said to Chen Yuting, "Yuting, come with me to your dad’s house and spend the New Year with him."

"Okay," Chen Yuting hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

For the New Year, she didn’t want to upset her mother, so she decided to make the visit.

...

In Fu County, at Shen Dong’s home.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, they turned on the TV and played mahjong and chatted.

Shen Dong didn’t play; instead, he sat next to Chen Yuyan and watched her play.

Shen Dong opened Dongyan Company’s WeChat group and sent over two hundred red packets in one go.

Initially, everyone was in a bad mood because of the incident with Song Qianqian.

However, as matters took a positive turn, everyone became happy again.

The impact of this event was significant.

The Huya Guild was a long-standing guild, ranked within the first tier.

In terms of the number of streamers, they were incomparable to the Dongyan Guild.

Now, with such an incident, the Huya Guild would definitely be hit hard.

The Dongyan Guild could be considered lucky amidst misfortune, gaining even more popularity.

Seeing Shen Dong sending red packets, everyone started scrambling to grab them.

Li Kaiyao: The boss is so generous!

Yang Xiaoming: The boss is so magnanimous!

Yang Xiaobai: The boss is mighty!

Employee A: Boss, happy New Year!

Employee B: Boss, wishing you great fortune and success!

Since the number of red packets exceeded the number of people, basically everyone managed to grab one.

Those with quick hands even managed to snatch two or three.

Shen Dong: Didn’t Mr. Wang send out red packets?

As soon as he said this, Wang Jingpeng immediately sent out red packets, but he didn’t have as much money as Shen Dong, so he couldn’t send as many. He only sent out fifty red packets.

That was already very generous of him.

In the Shuidilao WeChat group, Shen Dong also sent red packets to the entire staff, with the number of red packets exceeding the number of employees, so practically anyone checking their phones could get one.

Since Shuidilao had more employees, more red packets were sent, and more money was spent.

But it was all worth it.

Shuidilao made more money than the Dongyan Guild, after all.

Chen Yuanxiang also sent red packets in the Shuidilao WeChat group.

The joy was unending.

After a while, Chen Yuyan finished playing mahjong and let Shen Dong take over. She then opened WeChat and sent red packets in both the Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao groups.

As the boss’s wife, she too had to reward her employees.

In both WeChat groups, they started another frenzy of snatching red packets.
