Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 69 Shen Wancheng's Ambition

Xu Pingtao tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table.

Shen Wancheng's explanation was absurd, yet it seemed quite reasonable.

If Shen Wancheng had maintained her current temperament and wisdom, how could she have endured seven years of suffering in silence?

Seeing that Xu Pingtao remained silent, Shen Wancheng spoke up again.

“I heard that there is a technology overseas that uses genetics to determine parentage. Grandpa, you can contact an organization that does this so that Yao Yao and I can have it done with you.”

(Actually, DNA paternity testing only came into existence in 1985; this parallel world setting advances that.)

Xu Pingtao paused in tapping the table, then looked up and stared at Shen Wancheng.

Shen Wancheng's gaze was honest, allowing Xu Pingtao to scrutinize and examine her.

In just a few seconds, Xu Pingtao suddenly smiled.

"Since I have already acknowledged you as my granddaughters, I naturally believe that you are my biological granddaughters."

Shen Wancheng said frankly, "Actually, I think it's a good idea to do it, so that no one has any reason to criticize it."

Let's go back to the original question: if Xu Pingtao only wants to recognize two granddaughters, he can choose whichever one he wants.

However, if he has the idea of ​​finding an heir, the restless members of the He family may use the possibility that Shen Wancheng may not be Xu Pingtao's biological granddaughter to start a rebellion.

Xu Pingtao looked at Shen Wancheng once again.

This Shen Wancheng surprised him several times in just a few minutes.

As soon as Shen Wancheng said those words, Xu Pingtao understood what she meant.

Actually, Xu Pingtao was just curious to ask Shen Wancheng why she knew so much and why she had changed so much from before.

Even if Shen Wancheng doesn't answer, he won't care too much. At most, he'll be more rigorous when testing and investigating Shen Wancheng.

Why Shen Wancheng became smarter is not important to Xu Pingtao. What is important is that Shen Wancheng is now smart and capable of becoming his successor.

However, the test that Shen Wancheng proposed now can indeed save a lot of trouble.

"Yes, I'll make the arrangements."

After Xu Pingtao nodded in agreement, he changed the subject and talked about the purpose of calling Shen Wancheng here today.

Xu Pingtao looked at Shen Wancheng meaningfully again, "You sent Shen Mei away?"

Shen Wancheng nodded expressionlessly.

“Hong Kong Island is actually a world with social classes. Not everyone can cross social classes, and those who lack ability will be eliminated by the survival of the fittest even if they do cross social classes.”

Xu Pingtao's words seemed to be comforting Shen Wancheng, but in reality, they were so realistic that they made Shen Wancheng feel bad.

It wasn't because of Shen Mei that she felt bad, but because Shen Wancheng in her previous life was also an ordinary person in the eyes of these so-called high society people who couldn't easily cross social classes.

For the first time, Shen Wancheng felt fortunate about her transmigration and rebirth, thinking herself lucky.

Shen Wancheng nodded in response to Xu Pingtao's words, "I understand, Grandpa. I never intended to keep her by my side forever."

Xu Pingtao said calmly, "You're good at making choices, and I'm very satisfied."

Xu Pingtao's words didn't sound like a compliment; they were more like a conclusion.

Indeed, it is a conclusion: Shen Wancheng passed Xu Pingtao's first test.

Shen Wancheng looked up and smiled at Xu Pingtao, saying, "Thank you for your affirmation, Grandpa."

Xu Pingtao continued, "Of the 15 million you were given, you bought 5 million worth of stocks, 'Wharf Holdings'? You're very optimistic about the project Gu Jinxing is currently working on?"

Shen Wancheng nodded and said frankly, "Yes, it's a piece of fat meat. I can't afford to eat meat right now, but I still want to smell the meat."

"Haha." Xu Pingtao was amused by Shen Wancheng and suddenly joked, "If you want to sit at the table, given Gu Jinxing's interest in you, it shouldn't be difficult."

"If I have the ability, I will naturally sit at the table; if I don't have the ability, I won't bother to rely on him to put me at the table so that I can eat meat."

To participate in the "Wharf Holdings" project, one would need at least one or two hundred million yuan in funding. Shen Wancheng said that she does not have that capability at the moment, but that she was only saying that she does not have the money at the moment, not that she is incapable.

Besides, when Shen Wancheng arrived in Hong Kong, this matter was already underway. She's too late to join now; at most, she can only get a small piece of meat.

The 1980s were the golden age of Hong Kong Island's development, a time when it was said to be full of opportunities and there was no shortage of good opportunities.

"Haha." Xu Pingtao laughed again. "As expected of my granddaughter, if you really want to participate, your grandfather can support you."

Shen Wancheng shook her head, "I haven't used the ten million you gave me yet. It's better to have more than you have. With the development of Hong Kong Island in recent years, there will be other good opportunities in the future."

"Hmm, I was being too attached to appearances. So, what do you plan to do with this ten million?"

Shen Wancheng tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked Xu Pingtao, "Are the Xu family's businesses all in commerce, industrial products?"

"Hmm? You're going to get into manufacturing too?"

Shen Wancheng blinked, her eyes gleaming mischievously, and a smile of interest curled at the corners of her lips.

"Originally, I didn't have this idea, but now... I think that manufacturing is also a good option."

"That vindictive girl has too much ambition; be careful not to hurt your back."

Shen Wancheng made her point very clearly: Xu Zi had offended her at the banquet, and since the Xu family were business tycoons, she also wanted to try her luck in the real economy.

To try to shake a big tree with a mayfly.

Shen Wancheng picked up the kettle and filled the teacup in front of Xu Pingtao with water.

“I’m all here with you, how could I possibly hurt my back? Ten million isn’t even worth a fingernail of yours.”

Ten million is a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but it's nothing in the eyes of these wealthy tycoons.

Shen Wancheng used ten million as her start-up capital. Even if the Xu family knew that she was running a real business, they wouldn't suspect that Shen Wancheng was targeting the Xu family.

Therefore, if Shen Wancheng's idea succeeds, she will replace the Xu family and become the new wealthy family in Hong Kong.

If she fails, it just means that the pocket money Xu Pingtao gave her has gone down the drain.

Of course, this ten million was also a test of her abilities by Xu Pingtao.

But starting a business with ten million dollars to challenge the pillar industry of a top family in Hong Kong is simply a pipe dream.

Xu Pingtao would certainly not consider successfully completing the challenge as the standard for passing the test, but rather measure whether Shen Wancheng passed the test based on the abilities she demonstrated during the process.

This is equivalent to Shen Wancheng changing the standard of the test from quantitative to generalized, which invisibly reduces the difficulty of the test.

Even Xu Pingtao hadn't fully considered this point yet.

By the time he realized this later, Shen Wancheng had already begun to take action, and he could say nothing more.
