The plan to exchange the second brother for the eldest sister to return home and continue the cooperation between the two companies in the immersed tunnel project has not gone smoothly.
Both her brother-in-law and the head of the Shen family rejected Guan Sise's proposal, treating her behavior as childish nonsense.
But soon, the Shen family's smiles faded.
Even when threatened, the perpetrator will not change his violent habits; it's just that this time, his violence met with resistance.
He died, killed by a not-so-sharp dagger, killed by a woman who had long endured violence.
In this way, Guan Yitang became a hot potato; the Shen family couldn't kill her, nor could they keep her.
Guan Sise stopped the company's dividends to the Shen family at the right time. When asked, she said that her father had signed the contract and that if there was a breach of contract, they should contact her father.
Where would the Shen family find a dead person?
Finally, the Shen family renegotiated with Guan Sise, demanding an extra half of the profits, quietly sending Guan Yitang home, accepting Guan's second brother's marriage into the family after he came of age, and continuing to maintain the good relations between the Shen and Guan families.
As for Guan Wuji's eldest son...
With Guan Wuji's death, Guan Sise transformed into the largest shareholder of Five Star Company, rendering Brother Guan worthless.
The kidnappers showed no mercy and killed him without leaving a trace.
Guan Sise was too lazy to go find her elder brother. Instead, she wanted to thank the kidnappers for making her path to becoming the true head of the family smoother.
Guan Wuji's children included Guan Sise, who became the heir; Guan Yitang, who returned home; Zhu Guanshan, who packed a few things and continued to live in Taotie City with Li Yue and the others; Guan's eldest brother, who died outside and whose remains were never found; and Guan's youngest brother, who was raised at home and was to be married off in the future.
Only Guan Erhe made the new head of the family undecided.
Guan Sise asked her second sister if she wanted to take her home.
Guan Erhe inquired in detail about taking her eldest sister home, then scoffed, "Foolish! You're giving back to the Shen family, but will the Lu family do the same? If you give away another half of your profits, how much will you have left? I'm not going back. At the Lu family's place, apart from that dead man causing me trouble, I haven't had a single unpleasant experience."
Knowing that her second sister was doing well, Guan Sise temporarily gave up the idea of bringing her home, but would occasionally send her some nice things so that her second sister would know that she had a home to return to in the future.
However, after only two gifts, Guan Erhe said again: "Don't send me anything anymore. It's all going to end up in the hands of that dead man. What a waste."
It turns out that when Mr. Lu learned that his father-in-law had died, he pretended to shed a few tears, but the next day he urged Guan Erhe to go home and take everything from the warehouse, as if he wanted to immediately empty out everything that originally belonged to Guan Wuji.
Guan Erhe made up the story by saying that someone was guarding the place.
Mr. Lu said, "Fourth Sister is young, what does she know? If we don't help her watch over it, she'll be cheated out of everything. Let's take the things home first, and return them to her when Fourth Sister grows up."
These words infuriated Guan Erhe so much that she wished she could follow her older sister's example and stab him to death.
However, considering the financial consequences of stabbing Lu Mou to death, Guan Erhe refrained from taking action. She figured she could endure it and decided to pretend to distance herself from her fourth sister for now.
Regardless, Guan Erhe's life still looks promising. Once Fourth Sister's wings are stronger enough, she could cause some kind of accident involving Lu Mounan without anyone noticing.
Moreover, most of the things she had tricked Guan Wuji out of her hands did not end up in Lu's hands; instead, she secretly moved them to the base and exchanged them for shops that made money from money.
The shop was her private property, and Guan Wuji and Lu Mou were completely unaware of it.
The reason why Xiao Lan, played by Xia Chuhe, was exposed so quickly was because Xiao Lan had been in charge of the shop's affairs in private and was completely under Guan Erhe's control.
...
Guan Sise, who had just taken over the company, was so busy that she was practically running around like crazy every day. Fortunately, she had brought Guan Yitang home beforehand, so he could help her take care of the household and deal with the ill-intentioned relatives.
After working non-stop for a month, Guan Sise finally had the opportunity to see the secrets on the disk with his own eyes.
The disk left behind by Guan Wuji had absolutely no connection to Five Star Company. The videos on the disk detailed the steps of a mysterious ritual.
The recipients of the ceremony were all infants under one year old...
There is also a video that details the process of physical examinations for upper-level personnel and reminds Guan Sise to pay attention to a certain value in the examination results.
Guan Sise was completely bewildered, not understanding what was on the disk or why Guan Wuji valued it so much.
It wasn't until the upper echelons held their biannual celebration that Old Mrs. Lu invited Guan Sise to attend and asked her, "Did your father leave you any inheritance?"
Guan Sise was certain that the contents of the disk were the inheritance, so he gave Elder Lu a positive answer.
Master Lu said, "You are young and have no children. For now, choose a few children from your family whom you deem worthy and have them baptized."
Guan Sise frowned slightly. She hated it when people said she was young. She had been getting into trouble with those old guys at the company for the past few days and had had enough of those words.
However, on the surface, she still had to pretend to be respectful.
Because of Guan Dage's affair, Guan Sise looked down on the people of the collateral branches, and by extension, on the children of the collateral branches.
However, in order to witness the baptism process firsthand, she still carefully selected a girl from among the children of the collateral branches.
On the day of the celebration, the upper class held a grand banquet, which was attended by almost all the upper class members who had upper class blood and were immune to supernatural attacks.
At the height of the banquet atmosphere, Guan Sise was brought before Elder Lu.
The only "adults" in the same room as her were Elder Lu, Lu Yunzhao, the head of the Shen family, and Shen Chu.
The rest were all children.
Hundreds of children lay quietly in their strollers, presumably given sleeping pills.
Old Master Lu's gaze swept past Guan Sise and landed on the head of the Shen family: "Little Shen, you've chosen your successor too."
“I’m getting old, and I might die someday without knowing why. Letting A-Chu participate in the ritual ahead of time will put my mind at ease.” The Shen family member’s words were pointed.
Guan Si Se pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Old Master Lu took a few steps closer, tremblingly took Guan Sise's hand, and patted it a few times: "You are younger than Yun Zhao and A Chu. In the future, the three of you must help and support each other to continue our upper-class bloodline."
"I know." Guan Sise's hands stiffened, disgusted by the old woman's words, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end.
Guan Sise quickly scanned Lu Yunzhao and Shen Chu.
Shen Chu lives a secluded life, and the only rumors about her are praises such as genius, future star, and tech fanatic.
Guan Sise didn't know her well, but he had met Lu Yunzhao a few times and had a general understanding of her character.
In Guan Sise's view, Lu Yunzhao was a narrow-minded, frivolous, and brainless person.
She didn't understand why Master Lu would choose such a person as his successor.
Guan Sise's doubts were also the doubts of most people in the upper class.
Perhaps only Lu Yunzhao himself would feel that being chosen as the successor was a matter of course.
...
Lu Lao released Guan Sise's hand: "Alright, let me briefly explain the purpose of the ritual."
