Chapter 52 Jiang Yuli, you must give me an explanation!
Shen Qiao noticed that the old man's expression had changed, and a hint of pride flashed through his heart.
He wanted to hear how Jiang Yuli had to explain.
"Yu Li, you are a businessman. We opened a company not to do charity. There are thousands of mouths waiting to be fed behind it. It's not that charity cannot be done, but if you want to do it, you have to produce real results. You should understand these principles and don't need me to teach you." Grandpa Shen said with a tone of admonition.
"Dad, Shen Qiao and I are different. I didn't grow up by your side, and I didn't learn from your words and deeds. I remember what you said, and I won't do it again next time." Jiang Yuli said calmly.
He downplayed the issue and turned the root of the topic to the fact that he was sent abroad at a young age.
He understands the rules of the business world.
He also understands how to gain fame and profit through charity.
He just didn't want to give the Shen family that much.
"Besides, as the inscription on this painting says—'A family that accumulates good will surely have blessings.' When we do charity, what's truly important is helping those in need, not just worrying about our reputation." Jiang Yuli spoke in a gentle, humble tone. "Since Dad has objections, I'll find a way to shape Baichuan Group's charitable image."
Shen Qiao sneered secretly.
Could it be that grandpa was persuaded by him?
Mr. Shen's eyes fell on the inscription.
Yes, from now on, he should do good deeds.
Jiang Yuli was sent abroad at the age of eight and only returned two years ago, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts in his ideas.
He can understand.
He must understand.
Jiang Yuli's initiative to give the painting was a sign of submission and willingness to resolve past grievances.
After all, they are biological father and son.
There is no overnight hatred between father and son.
For the sake of his late wife, Mr. Shen was unwilling to get angry anymore.
"Okay." Old Master Shen patted Jiang Yuli's arm. "Dad believes in you! Someday, we'll go to the cemetery together to see your mother."
Jiang Yuli felt a chill in his heart and only replied, "Yeah. I have something else to do at the company, so I'll be leaving first."
"well!"
Mr. Shen lowered his head to admire the painting without even raising it.
Jiang Yuli turned and walked out, followed closely by Shen Qiao.
"Uncle, can we talk?"
"There's nothing to talk about." Jiang Yuli said in a cold tone.
"What if it's about Su Lingyu?"
After Jiang Yuli got in the car, Shen Qiao got in without hesitation.
The car drove out of the Shen family's old house smoothly.
"What are you talking about her?" Jiang Yuli said in a cold voice, "She won't get back together with you, and I won't plead for her."
"I understand. I just lied to you. If I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have let me get in the car."
Jiang Yuli was speechless.
Chen Qiao continued, "Uncle, please give me a condition. What conditions will make you willing to return to the country?"
Jiang Yuli raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turned out that I wanted to drive him out of the country like I did before.
Could it be...
In Shen Qiao's eyes, is he still that eight-year-old kid who can be manipulated by others?
Jiang Yuli said calmly, "I've been abroad for eighteen years and I'm tired of it. Nephew, if you like, you can go and settle abroad. I can give you a house wherever you like."
Chen Qiao raised his voice a little, "Who cares about your room! Jiang Yuli, don't play dumb, you know what I mean."
Jiang Yuli's eyes turned cold, "You are so stupid. You didn't understand what I said."
"Heh," Chen Qiao sneered, "So, you've decided to stay in the country and compete with me for the right to inherit Baichuan?"
"Although my last name isn't Chen, and although I've been abroad for eighteen years, I'm indeed the chairman of Baichuan and the current president. Why can't I compete?" Jiang Yuli glanced at him sharply, "Give me a reason not to compete?"
"I……"
"If you don't have it, shut up."
Chen Qiao was furious. "Jiang Yuli, do you think you have a chance of winning? If Grandpa treats you well now, will he really hand over the company to you?"
"How long can his guilt last?"
Jiang Yuli was silent.
Guilt?
Shen Zeming never felt guilty about him. How could he get the old man to change his will? How could he inherit Baichuan Group? It all depended on performance, not feelings.
"Are you done?" Jiang Yuli looked impatient.
"Seriously, let's make a deal."
"No way."
Shen Qiao clenched his fists, "Uncle, you——"
"parking."
The car stopped by the roadside.
Chen Qiao almost laughed out of anger, "You're not going to kick me out of the car, are you?"
"Go down." Jiang Yuli said expressionlessly.
They actually drove him away.
"What kind of elder are you? You actually kicked me out of the car!"
Jiang Yuli was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Get lost."
"OK!"
Shen Qiao slammed the door in anger.
The car drove away instantly.
He stood there, almost exploding.
"Jiang Yuli! You fucking..."
grass!
A few days later, the name of Baichuan Group appeared in major news and hot searches.
As soon as Jiang Yuli finished the meeting, his secretary Feng Yan came up to him nervously, "President, the chairman is waiting for you in the office."
The chairman was in person, so she, a small secretary, dared not refuse to open the door.
"I know. Go ahead and get busy."
"Um... President, the chairman seems to be in a bad mood."
Jiang Yuli walked calmly, "It's okay."
Feng Yan glanced at Zhao Kai behind him. The chairman's expression didn't look like everything was fine.
Zhao Kai didn't show any expression, he didn't understand either.
Jiang Yuli walked into the office alone.
Shen Zeming was indeed there, as were Shen Qiao and Shen Baichuan.
Old Master Shen sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, and the cane in his hand seemed to be filled with anger.
Shen Qiao had an expression as if he was enjoying a good show.
Shen Baichuan’s face remained expressionless, but he couldn’t hide his gloating in his eyes.
Shen Zeming pointed at the tablet on the table, the screen showing the news that "Baichuan Group took over the unfinished building in City M".
"Jiang Yuli, please explain to me what this means?"
"Have you discussed this important matter with me?"
"The unfinished building! All the money has been taken away, and you're going to take on this hot potato? Are you crazy? I thought you were really capable, but this is what you did?" Shen Zeming became more and more angry as he spoke, "You must give me an explanation today!"
"Uncle, this is pure charity. You just donated 20 million a few days ago, and now you're taking over an unfinished building. What's your intention?" Shen Qiao crossed his legs and said sarcastically, "There are so many unfinished buildings across the country. If they all came to you, would you take them all?"
"Yu Li, we haven't heard of this. It's really not appropriate for you to make the decision on your own." Shen Baichuan added lightly from the side.
Jiang Yuli remained calm, saying, "Baichuan wasn't even mentioned at the last charity gala. This event is far more meaningful than the charity gala itself. There will be continued positive coverage, which will be even more beneficial to enhancing the group's reputation."
"Just for Baichuan's reputation, you took on an unfinished building???" Shen Zeming sneered, "Is that reasonable?"
"It's to give those owners a home. I saw online that some people are still living in that unfinished building." Jiang Yuli stood straight. "In this day and age, there are still people displaced, and that's our responsibility."
"You have a really kind heart." Shen Baichuan sneered.
"I can't compare to Big Brother's kindness. He made hundreds of millions investing in a certain country, but didn't bring back a penny. The factory and equipment were left there, and I can't bring them back." Jiang Yuli responded coldly. "Compared to that, what I'm doing not only provides housing for over 2,000 families, but also demonstrates Baichuan's social responsibility and enhances its corporate reputation—what's wrong with that?"
