Chapter 348 - They Say that Revenge is Sweet

Shu Jing Min was shocked when he heard Feng Xinying's proposal. "Feng Xinying, what ridiculous proposal are you giving me? How do you expect me to agree to it? You are saying that you will takeover my company and won't pay a penny for it. It is a million dollar business. It is worth in millions and you want to take it for free? Have you gone insane?" 

Xie Shengjun was standing while listening to all the rant from Shu Jing Min. He tilted his head and looked at him. He said, "Uncle, Feng Xinying has given you the best solution. She will be able to revive the business and she will hand it over to you as soon as the dust is settled. Currently you are in a lot of muck and if you want to come out, your best bet is what Feng Xinying just suggested."

Shu Jing Min and Jiao Long were both now completely stunned at what Xie Shengjun was saying. He supported Feng Xinying fully. "I am not a fool to get into this deal Xie Shengjun! What if Feng Xinying gets interested in the business and doesn't return to me? I have built this business over the years and years of hard work and you are saying that you will take over it without a penny. I will never agree to that. I came here to ask for help and not to do charity!" Shu Jing Min retorted. 

"Uncle, I just said that I will return it to you and I will do that. However, it is you who have to trust me. As for me, I have no interest in a business that is already going to go down the drain within no time," replied Feng Xinying. 

Xie Shengjun added, "That is true. Why will we take over your company, which has got such a bad name already? Has anyone offered you any help? Has anyone even offered that they would help you in reviving it? We are offering you things for free and yet you are demanding money. If you feel that you don't like the offer, it for you to decide whether to accept this proposal or not. As far as we are concerned, we will help you but we won't pay you a penny. I can understand Feng Xinying's business proposal." 

"I will never agree to this nonsense!" said Shu Jing Min and got up from his place. He looked at Jiao Long and said, "Let us go from here! I came here to ask for help." Then he looked at Feng Xinying and said, "Feng Xinying you could have asked your contacts in the higher authorities to relax on this case but you are offering me something else!" 

"Uncle, no one is going to help you. I am offering you the best solution," she said as she sighed. She smiled again as Xie Yuansheng kept holding her hand. It was a beautiful time to celebrate. She messaged the head of the security to bring a small cake for them. 

"No!" shouted Shu Jing Min. "I will not agree!" He started to leave the place. Just as he reached the doorknob, he got a call from his office. "Good evening Sir, sorry to report, but another one of our ships has disappeared. It is off the radar and it seems that it has disappeared completely. Although there are no reports that it has sunk. We suspect that it has gone off the course." 

Shu Jing Min had a queasy feeling in the stomach. He didn't know what was going on. His steps faltered and he went back to the sofa he was sitting on after he disconnected the call. 

Looking at his pale face, Xie Shengjun asked, "What happened uncle? Is everything okay?" 

He shook his head. Things were going awry and so awry that he couldn't imagine it. He didn't answer Xie Shengjun instead he kept his head in his hands and looked at the ground. How could things become so bad within such a short time? 

Feng Xinying was watching him with narrowed eyes. She asked, "So what is your decision uncle? Do you want to give your business to me or not?" 

Shu Jing Min looked up. He was looking dazed. He said, "I will have to think of pros and cons. I just can't give up my business to you…" 

"Okay," shrugged Feng Xinying and looked away. 

Shu Jing Min somehow got up from the sofa after a few minutes and left along with Jiao Long. 

As soon as he left, there was a huge grin on the faces of Feng Xinying and Xie Shengjun. 

"He is a master player in the field, Xinying. Do you think he will give his biggest business to you so soon and that too without a penny?" asked Xie Shengjun. 

"Hmm… We will see. If he doesn't, it's his loss."

Xie Shengjun looked at Feng Xinying as she watched her husband's face. He was beginning to get highly impressed with her cold and ruthless approach to the business. She was a force to be reckoned with. Xie Yuansheng used to still consider on humanity basis, Feng Xinying never buckled under the pressure anymore. She had changed tremendously. He smiled and said, "Xinying, I leave it to you but the work you had asked me is done." 

Feng Xinying chuckled. Xie Shengjun's smile broadened and he left after a few minutes. 

The head of the security brought the small cake and left. Feng Xinying closed the room from inside. She took the cake and placed it near Xie Yuansheng. "Shengu, let's cut this cake. I have boarded my journey to take revenge from those who have brought us to this condition. I will take revenge for my father and for you. I am going to take such a revenge that their generations are going to shudder when they will even think of me." 

Feng Xinying cut the cake using his hands beneath hers. She gave him a small piece and then licked it away from his mouth. She kissed him softly and added, "Get well soon dear and get up soon. I am waiting for you and now it is getting too long. It would be fun to watch the enemies eat dust along with you. They say that revenge is sweet. Now I understand why they say it."
