The whole family overheard her innermost thoughts and went crazy.

Chapter 108 Deciding to Retire

"When did the company start losing money?" Shen Wantang asked casually.

"Oh, Ms. Shen, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but our company was doing really well! The quality of our products was top-notch!" Li Ming sighed and began to speak slowly.

"But I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working and now I have to come out and attract investment."

Shen Wantang sighed: "Your boss is indeed good at his job, but have you ever thought about why?"

"You know your company is definitely not problematic, so why is it declining? Haven't you thought about it carefully? Or investigated it thoroughly?"

Li Ming remained silent; he truly hadn't.

Because these matters are usually handled by his assistant, who tells him that the clients themselves are no longer willing to cooperate and have found better partners. Since that's what they say, what can he do?

"Have you found out where those clients went?" Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Li, no offense, but although your company is good, you also need to pay attention to it yourself!"

"It's understandable to delegate these tasks to an assistant, but don't you understand whether this is your company or your assistant's company?"

Li Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Of course this is my company, but my assistant also started a company, which is about to go public."

“Then he’ll surpass you immediately after he goes public.” Shen Wantang nodded. Should she really call him too stupid or too naive?

"How could that be? I built the company from scratch. I know the hardships involved. How could it possibly surpass me right from the start?" Li Ming shook his head, clearly not believing it.

This isn't child's play; you could easily lose money. And whether you can get the company up and running depends on the boss's skills and connections—both are indispensable!

“But he has clients and resources,” Shen Wantang said calmly as she looked at him.

“My assistant is indeed a good person. He has been with me for a long time. He has…” Li Ming suddenly realized something as he spoke.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Is it what I think?"

"Yes, the customers you lost, and the resulting decline in sales, all went into his pocket." Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow. How to put it? It was the consequence of her own mismanagement!

Li Ming's face turned bright red. To be honest, he would rather believe that the customers left on their own than believe that his assistant and brother had betrayed him!

But the facts speak for themselves!

“If you don’t do something, he might ruin your company.” Shen Wantang looked at him and said, “Actually, I also think your company’s products are pretty good. If you want to win back those customers, I can help you.”

"We can cooperate!"

Li Ming stood up immediately: "Miss Shen!"

"I……"

"Why aren't you sure? Then you shouldn't be a boss." Shen Wantang's lips curled up.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming panicked: "No way! I definitely won't watch my company go bankrupt! Ms. Shen, thank you for being willing to cooperate with me! I'll go back and clean up my own mess right away!"

After seeing Li Ming off, Shen Wantang could finally rest.

Not long after, the whole family returned together.

"Tangtang, I brought you milk tea!" Wang Manjuan was carrying a large bucket of milk tea, knowing that her daughter liked it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wantang's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Mom!"

"Tangtang, your brother and I have already discussed it." Shen Zhengyi looked at her and said, "Tomorrow you will go directly to the company with your brother, then have a meeting, and your brother will guide you through the rest."

"Don't worry! It's actually very simple. Shen Jiaqiang's strength lies in the fact that it's an independent company, and the board of directors consists of only our company." Shen Tingxiao thought she was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the job, so he comforted her.

Shen Wantang nodded. Of course she knew. This was why the Shen family could dominate the top spot in Gaoliu City. No one could possibly bring them down!

"I understand, I'm not nervous at all." Shen Wantang nodded, thanks to Li Shiman's mediation.

Her relationship with Shen Tingxiao wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't as cold as it had been at the beginning.

"By the way, what about Sister Man?" Shen Wantang suddenly asked. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to retire from the entertainment industry!

After all, she's just an ordinary person, and a rather lazy one at that. It's absolutely impossible for her to hold multiple jobs at once!

And now that she's become famous, she's often recognized on the street, which annoys her.

This feeling of exposure is awful.

And now she has another role: vice president.

Too busy, I can't keep up!

"She's resting, what's wrong?" Shen Tingxiao asked, puzzled, knowing that the two had a good relationship.

"I just want to discuss something with her." Shen Wantang didn't tell him what it was, since she knew he couldn't do it anyway.

Shen Tingxiao didn't ask any further questions and gave her an address; it was his apartment.

Li Shiman hasn't gone back home during this time; she's been staying in his apartment.

"Then I'll go find her." Shen Wantang grabbed her bag and went out.

Arriving at the address Shen Tingxiao had given me, I knocked on the door.

Li Shiman opened the door with a puzzled look on her face. She said it definitely wasn't Shen Tingxiao who had returned. If it were him, he could just use facial recognition to open the door.

"My little darling, what's wrong?" Li Shiman asked in surprise, because Shen Wantang usually wouldn't take the initiative to contact her unless there was a reason.

Something must have happened.

"Come in and sit down, it's rare for you to be so proactive!"

Shen Wantang smiled and walked in. This was her first time visiting her brother's apartment, which was decorated in gray and white.

"I'm here to discuss something with you. I want to retire from the entertainment industry," Shen Wantang said calmly, sitting on the sofa.

Li Shiman paused for a few seconds to assess the truthfulness of her words: "You're really not joking?"

“Yes, if you still want to be an agent and manage other artists, you can choose one. With your abilities, it’s no problem at all.” Shen Wantang looked at her. Li Shiman had been with her for so long, and her abilities and way of handling things were excellent.

Li Shiman has the ability to mentor a Best Actress or Best Actor.

"Hey! How should I put it!" Li Shiman took two bottles of juice from the refrigerator, walked over, and sat down on the sofa with someone. "I'm quitting too."

“If you quit, I’ll quit too.” Li Shiman looked at her, and it didn’t sound like she was joking: “Isn’t your brother going to take over the company?”

"I'm planning to become your brother's assistant."

Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised: "What did you say?"

“Why not?” Li Shiman smiled.

"No, whatever you want! Is this your major?" Shen Wantang asked curiously.

Li Shiman shook her head: "Of course not, but I can learn for him!"

"If all else fails, being a personal assistant would be a great option!"

"Sure, sure, that way you two can be inseparable all the time." Shen Wantang nodded, she didn't care how they were treated.
