Chapter 608 Standing on your own
The wind blows from the northwest, carrying the restless unease of early summer.
Lin Chuyue stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance with a cold gaze.
Her phone vibrated; it was a text message from Chen Yulan.
The executor of the Shen family trust will arrive in Nancheng at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Your attendance is required.
She stared at the text message for a long time, then tightened her fingertips slightly to lock the screen.
She knew that her mother had been planning this move for a long time.
But for her, there was no turning back.
……
At 8:30 a.m., Lin Chuyue, dressed in a dark gray suit, strode into the conference room on the 37th floor of the Nancheng Financial Building with a sharp and commanding presence.
Five unfamiliar faces, dressed in suits, sat at the conference table.
In the very center, a middle-aged man with gray hair stood up to greet them:
“Ms. Lin, I am Lawyer Zhang, the administrator of the Shen family trust.”
"Today we will verify your status as an heir and initiate the transfer process of the family trust."
"In addition, Shen's equity is currently frozen, and some assets will be managed by you on the condition that you establish a new operating fund and submit a supervision plan to the trust."
Lin Chuyue nodded calmly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant:
“I will submit a cooperation framework with Vision Capital and establish a family asset protection fund independently.”
Attorney Zhang paused slightly: "Ms. Chen hopes that she will be in charge of leading the initial restructuring."
Lin Chuyue interrupted him softly:
"I reject."
The meeting room fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Lu frowned slightly: "Ms. Lin, this involves billions of dollars in movable assets and equity distribution. Are you sure you want to share power with your mother?"
Lin Chuyue curled her lips into a smile, her gaze calm:
“I’m not here to take over her business; I’m here to build my own Shen family.”
She turned to look at Gu Yanchuan: "Prepare the documents; we'll hold a press conference this afternoon."
Zhang Lu was stunned: "Miss Lin, this is too hasty."
"I've waited for over twenty years, so it's not a rush."
……
Just as Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan stepped out of the conference room, Chen Yulan sat in the coffee shop across the street, watching her daughter's resolute figure reflected in the glass window, a sarcastic smile appearing in her eyes.
"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore."
Sitting opposite me was a middle-aged man with a stern face.
Qi Congyan was Shen Yan's earliest confidant.
"Didn't you come back to help her?" Qi Congyan asked in a low voice.
"Of course I'll help her up," Chen Yulan said calmly, raising her eyes.
"But I will not support an unruly heir."
"If she is disobedient, time should be allowed to educate her."
"The power of the Shen family cannot be inherited simply by saying 'set up their own household'."
"She's just getting started and doesn't know the real cost."
Qi Congyan snorted coldly: "What do you plan to do?"
Chen Yulan put down her coffee and said slowly and deliberately:
"The 10 billion yuan logistics line in Shenjia South District is the biggest benefit she can currently obtain."
"I am prepared to reveal the true owner of that line to the market."
"Let everyone know that she obtained it by virtue of being an 'illegitimate heir'."
Qi Congyan narrowed his eyes:
"You want to destroy her first?"
"It's not destruction, it's clipping the feathers."
She must learn to humble herself.
……
At 3 p.m., reporters gathered in front of the Nancheng Building.
Standing in the spotlight, dressed in a black and gold-trimmed suit, her lips a cold, alluring color, Lin Chuyue announced, word by word:
"Starting today, 'First Vision Capital' is officially established and will operate independently of Vision Capital."
"The fund will take over the legitimate assets in the Shen family trust and manage them independently within the regulatory framework."
"I, Lin Chuyue, as the sole legal heir, publicly take full responsibility for the Shen family."
After she finished speaking, the audience erupted in an uproar.
One of the reporters was the first to ask a question loudly:
"Are you aware that Shenjia Logistics' main trunk line still belongs to 'Shen's Overseas Group,' which was not deregistered in the early years? There is a dispute over the ownership of shares in this company. Does this mean that the assets you are currently taking over are not legal?"
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, and Gu Yanchuan's expression changed. He quickly pulled up the latest document.
He whispered, "Someone deliberately leaked information—"
"It's her," Lin Chuyue said calmly.
She knew Chen Yulan's rhythm all too well.
She gave her a stage, then publicly clipped her wings.
For what?
To tell her—don't try to be independent.
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned cold, she gripped the microphone tightly, and her voice was like a blade:
"Regarding the ownership of some assets, we will cooperate with legal procedures to clarify them one by one."
"But please remember, I am not standing here today because the Shen family allows it."
"Because I am qualified."
"No matter how many shadows or entanglements I have in the past, from today onwards, I will prove with my actions that Lin Chuyue does not need to depend on anyone."
After the press conference ended, Gu Yanchuan said in a deep voice:
"We need a public relations response; Chen Yulan has gone all out this time."
"She wants to force you to back down."
Lin Chuyue turned around, looking out the window at the deepening twilight, her voice calm:
"Then let her see just how high I can stand."
……
Meanwhile, Lin Zhengguo slammed his fist on the table in anger during the board meeting:
"Lin Chuyue is a member of the Shen family, but she is no longer my daughter!"
"She wants to set up a new fund in order to completely swallow up the Lin family!"
"You're going to keep watching?!"
The board members looked at each other in bewilderment.
A middle-aged shareholder whispered, "But she now controls the South Bay project, part of Vision Capital, and the Shen family's trust..."
Lin Zhengguo gritted his teeth: "The Shen family? Do you really think she can handle the Shen family? Who does she think she is!"
"I had already prepared an escape route."
He turned to look at Lin Yun:
"Prepare to launch 'shadow holding' - use your identity to take back the batch of shares that I haven't transferred yet."
Lin Yun was startled: "Dad...you want me to wage war against Lin Chuyue?"
Lin Zhengguo sneered: "She's not your sister, she's your enemy."
“I don’t care what you do—pull her down from her position in the Shen family.”
"The Lin family can only have one mistress."
Lin Yun stood there blankly for a long time before asking in a low voice:
"What if... I fail?"
Lin Zhengguo glanced at her and said meaningfully:
"Then you should just disappear like your mother."
……
Late at night, Lin Chuyue stood on the rooftop, the wind blowing through her hair.
Gu Yanchuan handed her a newly released public opinion monitoring report.
"Good news—your press conference generated a lot of buzz. Bad news—most of the investment community is still watching and waiting, and many are worried that you'll get involved in the Shen family's old debts."
“What’s worse is that some of the information your mother released is true.”
Lin Chuyue gazed at the silent city skyline on the horizon, her tone indifferent:
"What she wants is not public opinion, but to force me to kneel back."
"But she was mistaken."
"She gave birth to me, not herself."
Her gaze turned cold as she pulled out an old photo—a picture of Shen Yao and Chen Yulan when they were young.
"I will make sure the Shen family remembers the true heir."
"It wasn't a tool she used to help him up."
"But rather, he is someone who can single-handedly reshape the old power structure."
