Chapter 650 - 680: Shen Yi’s Weakness

As it turned out, there was.

Take Lin Nian, for example. All she wanted was to be the wife of the richest man.

Lin Nian partnered with Lu Jiuan and instigated Shen Feng to steal the paint factory’s documents and mortgage it. The company was now up and running, but the few inexperienced amateurs were at a complete loss.

Lin Nian was full of ideas but lacked the means to execute them. She knew that developing mobile phones ahead of the curve at this time would be a huge moneymaker.

She thought about the future tech giants and knew this field was incredibly profitable.

But what then?

They were all amateurs with little to no experience running a company. When they were first setting up, they were swindled by Lu Jiuan’s cousin and ended up spending a lot of extra money.

Next up was R&D... They didn’t have Shen Yi’s vast funds, let alone his overseas connections. Where were they supposed to get the R&D done?

But Shen Yi was resolute; even Shen Zhengfeng’s intervention was useless. The paint factory was mortgaged.

And of course, Lu Jiuan had also invested all his savings. Oh, and the money he’d borrowed from Meng Lanlan’s family.

Now, they had no way of turning back!

Lu Jiuan sat across from Lin Nian and Shen Feng, his gaze shifting from Lin Nian to Shen Feng.

He asked, "That Shen Yi... doesn’t he have any weaknesses? Is he really made of steel?"

Shen Feng didn’t say anything.

But Lin Nian, sitting beside them, suddenly spoke up. "No, Shen Yi has a weakness."

Both men looked at her.

Lin Nian said, "Qin Jiao."

Lu Jiuan’s eyes lit up. He said quickly, "That’s right! I heard he’s exceptionally good to his wife. That Qin Jiao must be his weakness!"

’If I had a wife that rich, beautiful, and capable,’ he thought, ’I’d treat her well too.’

Shen Feng, however, frowned. "No! Are there any other ideas? We can go after Shen Yi, but we can’t touch Qin Jiao."

Lin Nian was not happy to hear this. She sneered, "What, you can’t bear to?"

Shen Feng glared at her. "What nonsense are you talking about? Qin Jiao was our classmate, after all. Besides, she’s a woman, and she’s pregnant and about to give birth."

Lin Nian’s anger finally erupted. "You still see her as a classmate, but has she ever seen us as classmates? She’s just quietly getting rich on her own. Your parents went to her door and humbled themselves like that, and what did she do? And you sure remember everything clearly, don’t you? Even that she’s about to give birth! Shen Feng, have you had your eye on Qin Jiao for a long time?"

The thorn in Lin Nian’s side was the fact that she was the female supporting character, while Qin Jiao was the female protagonist of this book and Shen Feng’s official pairing!

This was an eternal thorn lodged in her heart.

Especially as she watched Qin Jiao’s life get better and better, that thorn dug deeper and deeper.

’Why? After I transmigrated, I suffered so much and endured so many hardships. Why is it that in the end, I still can’t compare to Qin Jiao in any way!’

Lin Nian’s sudden outburst stunned both men for a moment. Lu Jiuan wanted to comfort her, but with Shen Feng present, he held back.

Finally, Lu Jiuan spoke up. "There’s no need for this. We won’t actually do anything to Qin Jiao. We’ll just politely invite her to be a guest somewhere, keep her hidden from Shen Yi, and make him anxious. Once Shen Yi agrees to give us the technology, we’ll send Qin Jiao home safely. We won’t let a single hair on her head be harmed the entire time. What do you think?"

Lin Nian sneered, "You’re quite the gentleman yourself."

Lu Jiuan didn’t reply, just looked at Shen Feng.

Shen Feng frowned. "I’ll think about it some more."

Lu Jiuan turned to look at Lin Nian. Her eyes were filled with mockery.
