She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1569: Chapter 1645: One Month Later

“By the way…” The confidential secretary hesitated for a moment, seeing Hai Yunfeng raise his eyebrow ever so slightly, then said, “I heard a piece of news some time ago and wanted to report it to you.”

“Go on.”

“It’s about the Shen Family.” Normally, it’s not appropriate to report hearsay to the minister, but since the Shen Family and Hai Family are in-laws, even though they haven’t interacted for a long time, with Hai Shen and Sheng An around, completely cutting off ties is impossible.

So he felt it necessary to tell the minister.

“I don’t know what Old Leader Shen left with Shen Ming before he passed away, but he managed to rise again in the Northwest District, and I’ve heard he’s thriving lately and even married the daughter of the Northwest Steel King.”

Hai Yunfeng curled his lips into a cold smile, “I see! Keep an eye on him for me.” Shen Ming indeed has a knack for things, always playing the victim, pledging he has absolutely nothing to do with Shen Yu.

Previously, Old Leader Shen was clearly disheartened and wanted the Shen Family to withdraw completely, yet Shen Ming managed to change the old leader’s decision.

He’s quite a talent.

“Yes!”

A month later

After Mr. Feng’s funeral, Sheng Ning moved from Victoria Theater to Feng Manor, taking over Mr. Feng’s study. This study holds a supreme position in the Feng Family, humorously referred to as the Upper Study.

Previously, Mr. Feng always reviewed the accounts and met all officials from the Feng Family enterprises here.

Once Sheng Ning moved in, she was so busy she seemed to have lost track of time, spending practically sleepless nights with her nose buried in documents, familiarizing herself with the accounts. When she used to visit her granduncle, she always thought he merely drank tea, played chess, and effortlessly vanquished enemies from this office.

Like how it’s portrayed in the movie The Godfather.

However, the imagination was beautiful but the reality was cruel.

Piles of account books, complex relationships, intricate powers, and various internal and external conflicts—all these things she needed to quickly become familiar with and control.

Moreover, she had absolutely no experience, she was completely in the dark.

“Family Head, take a break and have something to eat!” Housekeeper Xing came in with a bowl of bird’s nest porridge, placing it in front of Sheng Ning.

She lifted her head from the mountain of documents, her eyes showing obvious dark circles due to several consecutive sleepless nights, now she was in a state of mental overstimulation.

To maintain this state, she barely took any rest.

“Leave it there! Tomorrow I have to meet the heads of various auction houses, acquisition houses, and pawn establishments; I can’t be unprepared.” She’s a very conscientious person, always doing her utmost to excel in whatever she undertakes.

Whether it’s dancing, writing screenplays or novels, or creating dance dramas, she has dedicated one hundred percent of her effort and passion to these pursuits. Now, managing businesses and handling industries is the same.

The former are her hobbies and pursuits, the latter are her responsibilities and obligations, without any distinction of honor between them.

“Yes, and by the way, Chen Yingjie is back.”

“I know.” Sometimes her uncle had greeted him. “By the way, why hasn’t he come in?”

“Without your permission, he can’t come in.”

Housekeeper Xing’s words caused Sheng Ning to frown slightly. She had said multiple times that visitors should not be blocked, but Housekeeper Xing insisted that her safety was more important, maintaining the security used when her granduncle was around.

“In the future, if someone from the mainland wants to meet me, there’s no need to block them or check and report.” She looked at Housekeeper Xing with a firm and serious gaze.
