"Yes, Dad, your granddaughters are really more talented than the other. Do you know this? Wen Xi is the painter Liu Bai who was very popular online before."
"Leave some space?" The old man narrowed his cloudy eyes.
He doesn't go online, but he has some impression of this name. Although he had retired and was not in charge of much at that time, he still remembered hearing people around him say that the big IP "Jiuzhou" that was originally planned to be invested and filmed was ruined by this painter.
The original author was determined to find the other person, but the company wanted to use their own artist. As a result, the artist failed to live up to the expectations and was involved in a scandal, causing the company and the original author to part ways...
After a long time, it turned out that the blank person was his own granddaughter.
"Chenghui, why didn't you tell me that Xi'er was left blank?"
"Dad, wasn't your relationship with my third brother still tense at that time? I was just afraid that you would be angry after hearing this." Wen Chenghui looked kind.
It sounded nice, but actually I just didn't mention it at first because I felt the loss was too embarrassing.
As if unaware of her father's displeasure, Wen Chenghui continued with a half-smile, "Come to think of it, I only later learned that this 'Liubai' was actually a family member. I heard that he had previously rejected several invitations to write for the company's magazines."
"reject?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruohai's face became even uglier.
"Yes, Dad. I was completely baffled when I found out. Since we're all family, why would my niece choose another magazine over ours? And she even outsourced the publishing of this picture book to someone else."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, Dad. Honestly, I really don't know what your granddaughter is thinking. Is she holding a grudge because our family was kicked out? Didn't you always teach us that our family should work together to leverage our strengths to grow the company? What's the point of running off to help others? Isn't this just taking advantage of others and taking advantage of your own wealth?"
Wen Chenghui stared at Wen Xi with a pair of dark eyes, looking very aggressive.
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow.
The publication of the picture book has not been officially announced yet, but her aunt is well-informed.
"Xier, is what your aunt said true?" Wen Ruohai asked with a dark face.
"yes."
Wen Xi put down the bowl in her hand and replied in a crisp voice.
"How could you do this? Do you know how much effort it took for Jiuzhou to get your cousin Wen Yin cast? If you had been able to find the original author and handle the matter properly, how could you have failed? Putting that aside, why did you refuse the company's commission and even go to another company to collaborate on the picture book publishing? The industry is so competitive these days, a family should stick together. This is what I've taught you since you were young, but you're actually helping outsiders deal with your family?"
Wen Ruohai became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he slammed the table in anger.
"Dad, there must be some misunderstanding here. Xiaoxi is not that kind of child."
"That's right, father. My daughter must have her reasons for doing this. I believe she would never betray her family."
Wen Chengyi and his wife hurriedly defended their daughter.
They had never heard their daughter say what Wen Chenghui had just said, but the child was their own, so they definitely trusted her unconditionally.
Wen Xi signaled them not to be anxious. After comforting her parents, she looked up at Wen Ruohai who was angry.
"Don't be angry with Grandpa, can you listen to me for a few words first?"
She stood up, her back straight, neither humble nor arrogant, with an air of being detached from the world. Her aura and demeanor were somewhat similar to that of her great-grandmother who was granted an imperial decree.
