Chapter 283: It's not good to have a tooth when you're young

"Is this true?" Even an experienced man like Mr. Xi was surprised when he saw the document. He turned to look at Xi Jingyue for confirmation.

"It's true. The two plots of land were auctioned together at the time, and everyone's eyes were on that piece of land. No one cared about this piece of wasteland at all. Who would have thought that a week later, a real treasure would be dug out from under this piece of land."

The smile on Mr. Xi's face became even wider. Thinking of the earth-shaking changes these two documents could bring to his own company, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, your friend must be very lucky!"

"You are right. I think so too."

The grandfather and grandson played charades together, but the people listening below were feeling tormented.

"Uncle, aunt, what exactly is the gift that Jingyue gave you? Can it be more precious than that 500 million listing?"

Old Master Xi was in high spirits, but when he heard this he picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it over.

"You are short-sighted! Do you really think I don't know your shameful thoughts? You are short-sighted but have lofty ambitions. I indulged you in the past because your elders were still around, so I had to give them some face. I never thought that my unbearable indulgence would foster your thoughts."

"From today on, all matters concerning the group and the Xi family will be handled by Jing Yue. I am old, and it is time for me to retire and enjoy my life. Whether you live a good life or a bad life in the future, it has nothing to do with me, so don't come to me."

Mr. Xi took advantage of this opportunity to become a hands-off boss, leaving all matters, big and small, to Xi Jingyue.

Xi Jingyue had not anticipated that his grandfather would skip his father and pass the group directly to him.

After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the shocked and unbelievable expressions of the people below, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Well... it's not impossible.

"Uncle, you can't do this! Jingyue is still young, how can he carry the group on his own?"

"He's still young? When I was his age, his dad was already a helper."

"Uncle, don't be impulsive. The group's affairs are of great importance. Even if you love Jingyue, if you make a rash decision like this, it is hard to guarantee that other shareholders of the company will be dissatisfied."

"What an impulsive guy! If I don't give my own family's business to my own grandson, how can I give it to the descendants of shareholders who rely on dividends to support their families? Whoever dares to offend me at this time, I will let him go home and eat himself!"

"Grandpa, cousin Jingyue is indeed excellent, but he has little experience after all. If he rashly takes on a heavy responsibility, he will inevitably be overwhelmed. Moreover, some things are easy to hand over, but difficult to take back. You are not old yet, why don't you help Jingyue manage it for a few more years, let him get more familiar with the company's internal affairs, and then hand over the group to him, so that it will be a natural thing."

"He can't handle it, can you? You've been in the company for a few years and you've grown up, right? Do you really think that just because you call me grandpa, you're my grandson? You're a thousand-year-old goblin, what's the point of playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in front of me? With your little skill, you still want to sow discord and fool me, go back and practice for a few more decades!"

"Grandpa, my brother didn't mean that. He just..."

"What do you mean by 'I don't care about you'? I've told you so many times, call me your great-grandfather. I'm your grandfather, so what does the person buried in your ancestral tomb have to do with me? For the sake of profit, you don't even care about your ancestors. I give you face because I have a good temper. If you run into me with a bad temper, I will tear your skin off."

Everyone: “…”

Xi Jingyue watched his grandfather debate with the group of scholars and leave everyone speechless. His face turned pale and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He secretly gave his grandmother a thumbs up. His grandfather's mouth is still as eloquent as it was in the past!

Grandma Xi smiled and thought: That's right! If she hadn't seen that he could say sweet words and fight against evil spirits, would she have chosen him at first sight among so many suitors?

A good New Year's Eve dinner was forced to end early because of Grandpa Xi's outburst. To be more precise, these uninvited so-called relatives were collectively kicked out.

The uncles from the second house were very unwilling to leave. Since they could not sow discord between Old Man Xi and Xi Jingyue, they turned to sow discord between Xi's father and Xi Jingyue.

"Liang Xu, I'm not saying this, but the old man is too partial. How can he just skip you and hand over the company to Jing Yue? Even if...even if Jing Yue's ability is indeed a little better than yours, you are his father after all. Isn't this a slap in your face?"

"Who said it wasn't? No matter what, it should be passed to you first. After a year or two, if you really think Jingyue is doing a good job, you can pass it to him. In this way, no one will say anything, and it will also save your face. Unlike now, it is completely throwing your face on the ground. The old man is really not worried at all that this matter will spread outside, what will people outside say about you?"

Mr. Xi listened to the not-so-clever provocations of several people without changing his expression. He smiled like a flower, which made several people's eyes hurt.

"I understand the good intentions of my cousins, but I have had bad teeth since I was a child, so I just love to eat this kind of soft rice."

Several people were choked for a moment. What was even more infuriating was that when they calmed down and thought about it, it seemed to be true.

Mr. Xi is different from his brothers and sisters who are always fighting and competing with each other. He loves to pursue art, but to put it bluntly, he is a bit rebellious.

Old Master Xi took over the Nuo family business and developed it to an unprecedented peak with his iron-blooded style. However, he had a son who was "not doing his job properly" and liked to paint.

It is precisely because of Father Xi's attitude of not wanting to compete with the world and only wanting to pursue art that his cousins ​​have become restless and every one of them wants to snatch his position as heir.

Who would have thought that the recognized good-for-nothing eccentric in this family would turn around and marry the eldest daughter of the Li family, who was only slightly inferior to theirs, and give birth to a son whom Mr. Xi regarded as the perfect heir!

To sum it up, this guy lived off his father before he became an adult, lived off his wife after he got married, and now that he is middle-aged, he lives off his son. Who knows, he may even live off his grandson in his later years!

Cousins: “…” Damn, I wouldn’t know until I thought about it. I’m shocked when I thought about it. What an enviable, jealous and hateful life. This guy must be living off the gold and soft rice!

Facing the angry gazes of his brothers and sisters that seemed to burn him to ashes, Father Xi sighed deeply and quite skillfully said the most deserving words in the most Versailles tone.

"Alas, you cousins ​​won't understand the days of lying down and counting money unless you have experienced it."

Mother Xi stood aside and watched her husband's performance quietly. It was quite painful to hold back her laughter. She reached out and touched her husband's head lovingly, coaxing him softly, "It's okay, I understand you. When Jingyue takes over my businesses, we will travel around the world to sketch. Anyway, we have our son here, so we will definitely not be treated unfairly when it comes to money."

Everyone: “…” I understand. It’s New Year’s Day and we have nothing to do, so we might as well go home and beat up the kids!
