"Shi Ran!" Shi Chuan's kind eyes were tinged with worry. "Dad knows you must have things you can't bear to leave, and you don't want to leave here, but you should still follow Dad and go abroad."
"What?"
"Dad's business is doing pretty well now. Let's hand it over to the teacher. Dad doesn't want to be in charge anymore. Let's go abroad together."
"Dad, do you mean to leave Nanhu and the Shi family?"
Hearing Shi Ran's question, his father smiled bitterly.
"The Shi family is a big family." Shi Chuan looked up at the beautifully decorated ceiling in Shi Ran's room. "But Dad wants my daughter to live a happy life. Not for some family, not to sacrifice yourself for others. I just hope you can live a good life. Everything is for yourself."
"dad……"
"Let's go abroad together, Shi Ran."
“…”
Shi Ran looked at her father and bit her lips lightly.
This was the first time that her father looked like this, just like when Song Sichen appeared in her room and bumped into her, but the difference was that this time he was not angry, but worried.
"Dad won't be able to live if he loses you too."
Shi Ran looked at his father's face and hesitated about his decision for the first time since his rebirth.
Shi Ran wanted to hold his father's hand tightly.
Dad was worried that Shi Ran would be in danger again, so he wanted to stay away from these people and the Song family, which gave him the urge to go abroad.
But, she looked up at the ceiling in her father's eyes and recalled the temporarily forgotten memory.
The final fate of the Shi family, she felt like she was falling from the building.
"Dad, I want to be the master of the Shi family."
As he spoke, he looked at his father, and he could clearly see his father's pupils trembling.
Perhaps because he was afraid that his father wouldn't believe him, Shi Ran said again with certainty: "I plan to inherit Grandpa's position."
"Shi Ran, that..."
Shi Chuan opened his lips, but closed them again.
"Dad, do you also want to inherit Grandpa's position?"
"Dad doesn't have that idea."
Shi Chuan immediately denied it.
"Aunt is the same as Dad. She has no intention of inheriting Grandpa's position." From the day she divorced and left with the twins, she gave up on Grandpa's position. "That leaves only Uncle. Does Dad really feel comfortable handing over all the Shi family business to Uncle?"
“…”
Shi Chuan fell into deep thought.
He also knew how unreliable Shi Ran's uncle was. If the Shi family fell into his hands, it would surely be ruined in no time.
"So, Dad, I'm sorry, I want to become the head of the Shi family and inherit Grandpa's position."
Shi Ran said it over and over again.
This time, Shi Chuan was not surprised.
He looked at Shi Ran with sad eyes for a while, and then at a certain moment, he smiled weakly.
It seemed as if he understood that no words could dispel Shi Ran's will.
"My daughter is so amazing! She's grown up so fast, and I didn't even realize it." Shi Chuan muttered softly. "If it were you, you would be an excellent leader and would lead the Shi family well. Dad supports all of my daughter's decisions, except for marriage."
thump!
Dad’s words made Shi Ran’s heart beat faster.
'He will be an excellent leader and will lead the Shi family well.'
This sentence sounds sweeter than any other sentence in the world.
"Thank you, Dad." Shi Ran said to his father with a smile. "Thank you for believing in me."
Dad gently stroked Shiran's hair, with the same kind and warm touch as when he was a child.
Shi family board of directors.
The conference room was filled with people I hadn't seen in a while.
This is the first board meeting held this year. The heads and directors of all the Shi family companies are in the conference room.
Although everyone was sitting together, the meeting room was still very quiet.
Grandpa Shi Ran spoke to the directors who were sitting around the long table and looking at him.
“Thank you all for taking the time to be here.”
Grandpa Shi Ran slowly looked at the familiar faces, from the young person in charge to the wrinkled elderly director.
They are all the people who made the Shi family successful.
It is because of them that the Shi family can achieve its current glory.
Grandpa Shi Ran said loudly: "Today I want to announce something related to the family heir, so I called you here."
When the directors heard that there was a successor, they were in a panic.
"Is the chairman planning to retire and hand over the Shi family to the younger generation?"
"Are you saying it's a bit early?" Shi Ran's grandfather asked with a smile. "It's time for me to rest. Ever since I was hospitalized last time, my health hasn't been what it used to be. It's time to step down and leave the reins to the younger generation."
The faces of those present were filled with sorrow.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like if Grandpa Shi Ran wasn’t sitting in this position.
The seats were packed.
"You guys, when did I ever say I was going to quit right now? Why are you all so deadpan?"
Grandpa Shi Ran chuckled and said, seeming to be in a good mood.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
At this time, the person in charge of the bank broke the silence and asked, "How is the young master?"
The incident with the fake bank check made him look at Shi Chuan with admiration. After all, he was capable and responsible.
Several people nodded in agreement.
"How is the young lady?"
At this time, someone came up with a different idea.
"The eldest daughter also managed the company a long time ago and did a good job. After returning to China, she also held an important position in the company. Everyone can see her ability, and no one says that a woman can't become the chairman."
"Where are the others?"
In response to Grandpa Shi Ran’s question, one of them stood up and said.
"Any of these two people will do. The eldest young master has his own company and is doing very well. The eldest young lady is more familiar with the company's business and is more recognized by the management. We have no objection to the chairman choosing either of these two people."
No one mentioned Shi Ran's uncle.
Everyone knows his abilities, and no one wants him to be the chairman.
If that day comes, the Shi family will be truly finished.
"You are all right, but as an old man, I have another candidate."
As soon as Shi Ran’s grandfather said this, the conference room suddenly exploded and everyone started talking.
"What?"
"Could it be the Second Young Master?"
"Don't do that!"
"It's definitely not the second young master's eldest son, is it?"
"That's it!"
The noise was mixed together, and although it was impossible to hear clearly, everyone was opposed to it.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Grandpa Shi Ran raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and the meeting room immediately became quiet.
"The person I want to talk about is my only granddaughter, Shi Ran."
"Shi Ran?"
"Is that the girl who is only twenty years old?"
"What does that mean? Is the Shi family going to be handed over to a child?"
Everyone seemed to have doubts in their voices.
No!
Maybe it's doubt!
