Is it a bit too much to ask an artist like him to manage a company?

Shangguan Lin frowned, temporarily setting aside the question, and asked with concern, "Is your eldest sister too heartbroken?"

Shangguan Wu thought for a moment and shook his head: "My eldest sister wasn't as heartbroken as I imagined. I think she must know something, so she doesn't have much affection for the Han family."

Shangguan Lin was even angrier, his face turning extremely ugly: "Your eldest sister is a very gentle girl. She would cry for half a month if her cat got lost. She has been married into the Han family for four whole years. Even if the Han family were dogs, she would still have a deep affection for them... Damn Han family, they've gone too far!"

Shangguan Lin was so angry that his eyes turned red and he was burning with rage.

Shangguan Wu quickly patted his back and promised, "Dad, don't get agitated. I definitely won't let the Han family get away with this!"

But Mom shouldn't get angry; she can't handle stress. You'll have to take her away from Changteng City.

"Okay, I will take your mother to the capital."

Shangguan Lin agreed, but he was still furious. He took off his apron and said, "No way! I'll ask your grandfather for a few more men to teach that little bastard Han Yaowen a lesson!"

"Dad, wouldn't you expose us if you went?"

Shangguan Wu quickly grabbed him.

"..."

Shangguan Lin looked at his little girl with a dilemma, his eyes reddening with anxiety.

Shangguan Wu reassured him, "Leave this matter to me, and I promise I won't let my elder sister suffer any injustice."

Shangguan Lin reached out and rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, Wu Bao, I will work hard to learn how to manage the group and be the strongest support for you sisters!"

At this moment, Shangguan Lin made up his mind!

Shangguan Wu's eyes crinkled with joy, but he shook his head and said, "Dad, if you like painting, then continue painting. Money is just an external thing. The most important thing is that the family is happy."

Therefore, the group should hire two more CEOs to check and balance each other, prevent any underhanded dealings, and ensure the company won't lack money.

Shangguan Lin reached out his right hand towards his little girl's forehead.

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "Dad, what are you doing?"

"I never imagined that my little Wubao would see through the ways of the world at such a young age and regard money as dirt!"

"..."

Shangguan Wu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Shangguan Lin smiled, then his expression darkened, and he said in a serious tone, "It's too early to talk about these things now. Your uncle has managed the group for so many years and has a deep-rooted foundation. It won't be easy to replace him."

Immediately, Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "I know, I'll ask my husband to help me when we get back."

Shangguan Lin: ...

"Is Gu really that good to you?"

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, thinking to himself: I need to find time to have a good talk with my son-in-law as soon as possible, and it would be best to get him drunk so that he can open up. If he is not truly good to my daughter, then I don't want him as a son-in-law!

After a slight pause, Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "Of course it's great! You can ask my older sister if you don't believe me. She stayed at my place for over a week."

Shangguan Lin temporarily believed her words.

But he will still go and talk to Gu Yunzhen!

The crayfish were cooked quickly.

Shangguan Lin handed the kitchen over to the chef, who prepared four light and nutritious dishes in about twenty minutes.

During the meal, Shangguan Wu took a picture of the crayfish and sent it to Gu Yunzhen.

She also attached a selfie.

Then she sent a message: "Eating something delicious makes me think of my husband. Love you~"

"What's so interesting about filming? If you're not going to eat it, I'll eat it all!"

Looking at his little girl's radiant smile, Shangguan Lin said with a hint of jealousy.

"I'll eat it!"

Shangguan Wu immediately put away his phone and sat down to eat crayfish.

A bowl of crayfish was placed in front of Shangguan Wu and Shangguan Lin.

Qin Xiaoxian and Shangguan Xue prefer milder flavors and don't like spicy food, but Shangguan Wu can't live without spicy food. Shangguan Lin, on the other hand, can eat both, so he ate with Shangguan Wu.

Because crayfish taste best when eaten in a large group.

Meanwhile, in Gu Yuan's study.

When her phone beeped, Gu Yunzhen opened it and saw a brightly colored, appetizing-looking crayfish from Shangguan Wu.

And her radiant smile, as beautiful as a summer flower.

Upon seeing that sentence, Gu Yunzhen's eyes gradually deepened, and a feeling inexplicably welled up within him, as if someone was always thinking of him and keeping him in mind.

Knock knock—

As the knocking sounded, Gu Shiyi pushed the door open and entered, panting.

"Fourth Young Master, here is the information you requested about the Quan family."

He handed over a black USB drive.

Gu Yunzhen's deep gaze fell indifferently on his hand. Just as Gu Shiyi couldn't help but pull his hand away, he took the USB drive and plugged it into the computer.

"Next time I don't let you in, you'd better stay put."

His deep voice carried a hint of coldness.

"...Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Gu Shiyi couldn't understand. Didn't they always knock on the door and let people in before? And the Fourth Young Mistress wasn't home, so why wouldn't the Fourth Young Master let her in?

"Is there anything else?"

"Fourth Young Master, the Quan family and the Xiao family of the Imperial City are related by marriage. The Xiao family has a complicated relationship among the prominent families in the Imperial City. If you make a move, you will probably have to return to the Imperial City," Gu Shiyi reminded him.

Gu Yunzhen rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.

Without a doubt, Shangguan Wu would return to the capital with him without hesitation.

But he didn't want to go back until he stood up.

After a moment, Gu Yunzhen raised his eyes, a cold and indifferent smile curving his thin lips: "Inform Gu Shisan to use any means necessary to acquire the Quan family."

Gu Shiyi stiffened: "Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Gu Shisan is the CEO of W Group. With W Group's strong financial resources and willingness to use any means necessary, it's likely that Gu Shisan will have already acquired Quan's Group in less than three days.

It's estimated that even if the Quan family goes bankrupt, they won't know who's behind it.

Gu Shiyi respectfully left the study.

Gu Yunzhen opened her phone; the screen still displayed the WeChat interface.

Shangguan Wu's smiling face came into view.

He frowned slightly, turned off his phone, opened the Quan family's information, and skimmed through it.

On the other side, after finishing his crayfish, Shangguan Wu slumped in his chair and sighed, "That was so satisfying!"

Shangguan Lin tried to imitate her by slumping in a chair, but his legs were too long, making it even more uncomfortable, so he went to lie down on the sofa in the living room.

"Wu Bao, come lie down on the sofa, it's comfortable."

"..."

Shangguan Wu glanced at her mother and decisively got up: "I'll go find Grandpa. You can lie down and relax."

She hurriedly left the house.

She heard her father's cries of "Ouch, ouch!" coming from behind her.

Shangguan Wu smiled and walked briskly into the old house.

"You've arrived."

As if he knew she would come, Old Master Shangguan put down the flowerpot and pointed to two rattan chairs under the grape trellis, saying, "Go sit over there and talk slowly."

"OK."

Shangguan Wu smiled faintly, lay down on a wicker chair, comfortably closed her eyes, and then got straight to the point: "Grandpa, do you still remember any talented people in the group who are good at management?"

Old Master Shangguan's lips twitched: "You want to undermine your own family?"
