"The Li family?" Li Jianxi said with some self-mockery, "What dignity does this family have?"

"Yes, as long as my father is willing."

Li Fuzhen has said countless times that she is able to shoulder the responsibility of this family, which is the glory of the Sanxin Li family.

She did no worse than anyone else, so why couldn't she gain his approval?

Li Fuzhen has done many things, but none of them made her feel so powerless. Being born a daughter was not something she could choose.

Hearing the powerlessness and anger in her tone, Li Jianxi felt that it was time to confront her about some things.

"Do you think I am biased against you?"

"Fuzhen, you should understand the nature of this society and how it works."

"Why do you think you can make the hotel flourish? Because of your ability. No... It's because you are my daughter and I, an old man, am still alive."

"Even if we carry the name of the Sanxin Li family, and there's an old guy like me here, you should know best how hard it is."

Li Fuzhen already understood what he wanted to say.

It is very difficult for a woman to gain a firm foothold. What should she do when he is gone and there is no man to support her at home?

Everyone thinks that women are easier to bully than men.

The sad thing is that even women themselves think so. The often-quoted phrase "If you bully a woman, are you still a human being?" is the best description of this.

What he was worried about was that Sanxin would become the target of public criticism.

There will be people in the company who will challenge her dignity and status on the grounds of being a woman. When the time comes, will she be able to hold on to her position amid internal and external troubles? "It seems that you have figured it out. Hyun Jung-eun has been struggling to support the Hyundai family for these years, and you have seen the result."

It is a puddle of mud and the companies are stuck in it, unable to extricate themselves. The industries controlled by Hyundai are shrinking silently, with their market shares either being taken over by domestic peers or being strongly intervened by foreign companies.

All she could do was to hold on and grit her teeth to maintain the last dignity of her modern family.

But what can be changed by doing this? The fact is that the modern family is declining.

She wanted to join the country's top hunting ground as a girl, but she would only become someone else's prey.

Li Zhenyu...

Ha, that little wolf cub is what worries me the most.

Li Jianxi sighed: "You will have a very hard time, a hundred or a thousand times harder than others. Even so, you will still be looked down upon and regarded as prey."

"In this case, do you still think you can support this family and the Sanxin brand?"

Li Fuzhen fell into deep thought, not because of fear, but because she was thinking about how to speak: "Are you worried about... Li Zhenyu?"

"Yes, he is an ambitious wolf cub. No matter how nice he speaks now, he will swallow you up in the end. I will not be wrong."

Li Jianxi is absolutely confident in his judgment. That guy will definitely not give up the fat piece of meat called Sanxin.

"Yes, who would give up a piece of fat like Sanxin? But I am confident that Sanxin will always be in the hands of the Li family."

“This is not a play on words.”

Li Fuzhen stroked her belly gently and said with a kind look in her eyes: "This child will inherit everything from you and will also get what he deserves from his father."

Li Jianxi did not hide his ridicule and asked loudly: "Haha, why are you so confident?"

"You said you would never be wrong. But I am equally confident in my own judgment, father. I will not be wrong about him either."

"Zhenyu is a man who values ​​family very much. Believe me, he will prepare everything for this child."

"The whole world?" Li Jianxi snorted coldly, "What a big mouth he has, just relying on a young boy who is still wet behind the ears."

"That brat you mentioned drove you off the guild leader's throne."

Li Fuzhen's merciless words made the atmosphere of the conversation between the two people cold again.

After waiting for a long time, Li Fuzhen still didn't get the answer she wanted, and she was already exhausted.

Not just today, but the disappointment accumulated over more than 30 years turned into a sharp blade and pierced her heart bit by bit.

Too tired, really too tired! So, let it be, I won't ask for anything more, and I won't long for his recognition and support.

What happened today will never happen again.

"Father, please have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

She bowed to him calmly and said goodbye, but Li Fuzhen's resolute heart was pierced by a sharp arrow. "I hope you made the right decision."

Li Fuzhen took back the steps that were about to leave the door and waited uncertainly for a positive answer.

"Tell me when, and I will finish this scene with you."

"As for Rong... I want to hand over the family's secret overseas funds to him. What do you think?"

Li Fuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and she thought incredulously, 'Is he discussing this with me? Is it true, or is it an illusion?'

"Yes, sure."

"That's it. I, an old man, don't know how much time I have left. You have to hurry up."

"……Inside."

Walking out of the door, Li Fuzhen suddenly found that she was sweating profusely. "What happened? He actually agreed... Really agreed, is it true?"

She had imagined such a scene happening countless times, but when it actually happened, Li Fuzhen found it hard to accept it.

The towering, terrifying and respectable giant in her heart seemed to have shrunk into a dwarf in an instant.

Li Fuzhen thought that she would look forward to this day very much. She had been waiting for this day for more than 30 years, until she was almost considering it as an important part of her life.

But when that day finally comes...

Fear, huge fear enveloped her heart, and Li Fuzhen felt like she was going crazy.

"Zhenyu, Zhenyu, I want to see you now..."

After bringing Lee Boo-jeong to the company, Lee Jin-woo ended the artist assessment meeting early and rushed to the office.

"What's wrong, Sister Fuzhen, what happened?"

Li Fuzhen looked confused and buried herself in his arms without saying a word. Li Zhenyu just held her in his arms and gave her the greatest comfort he could.

Keng keng~ Xia Zhuxi knocked on the door and came in, wanting to remind him that the artist assessment was about to begin.

But before she could say anything, Li Zhenyu waved his hand to signal her to go out. It was obvious that he would not participate in the artist assessment.

In the big dance studio, Director Jin, who was waiting at the door, saw that she was the only one there. He threw his cigarette butt on the ground with a helpless expression and crushed it with his toes, "It seems that the boss is not coming."

"Inside, there is a sudden guest... With you here, Director Jin, everything is the same." (End of this chapter)
