Everything was proceeding smoothly, and before we knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Huaxia, the old Ji family residence.
When Ji Minxiu arrived, everyone was already there.
"Third cousin, you've finally arrived! We've all been waiting for you."
Upon seeing him, Ji Weixing was the first to greet him with a broad smile.
That warmth was nothing like the way she had previously broken ties with Ji Minxiu.
Ji Jianhong smiled and nodded in greeting.
Even Ji Sinian and Ji Siyu, whose mother was sent abroad because of Ji Minxiu, no longer showed hostility towards him this time; instead, they only had complicated feelings.
The elders, on the other hand, all looked at him with unanimous approval.
Ji Minxiu had only recently become independent, but his business was booming, and his company was already preparing for an IPO.
Although he had the resources allocated to him by the Ji family as a foundation, the fact that he was able to develop the company to this extent in just over half a year is enough to prove his terrifying abilities.
This is something that no other junior member of the Ji family could do.
It should be said that among all the candidates in the entire city, he is one of a kind.
This made countless people look at him with new respect.
Previously, those proper upper-class families looked down on Ji Minxiu, and even the marriage partners who came to establish connections were all emerging companies with relatively low status.
However, recently, several prominent families have extended olive branches, expressing their intention to form a marriage alliance with Ji Minxiu.
Ji Minxiu's company has not yet officially gone public. Although it is just one step away from success, there is still a huge gap between it and the future, and the uncertainty is still very high.
But he is a promising talent, there is absolutely no doubt about it.
Therefore, those discerning families wanted to secure him as soon as possible to prevent him from being snatched away by others later.
The Ji family was naturally delighted and excited about this good thing, and they were thinking of joining forces.
As a result, Ji Minxiu rejected them all.
Unfortunately, Ji Minxiu is now independent, and the Ji family has no way to deal with him.
As for covert suppression, the Ji family head did indeed try some underhanded tactics, but in the end, they were all thwarted by his own successor candidates.
They not only fully supported Ji Minxiu, but also told Old Master Ji about the things the head of the Ji family had done, which made him give up on the idea completely.
Why would several potential heirs of the Ji family help Ji Minxiu in this way?
Because Ji Minxiu's displayed strength made them wary, and they were very afraid that Ji Minxiu would return to the Ji family to compete for the position of heir.
In that case, they would have no chance of winning.
Therefore, everyone is happy to see Ji Minxiu start his own business independently.
This is why, after Ji Minxiu went out to start his own business, he not only did not encounter any obstacles, but he also had several forces secretly helping him.
This is another reason why he was able to succeed so quickly.
Therefore, at present, the several candidates for the heir of the Ji family and Ji Minxiu have formed a tacit harmony, similar to an alliance.
This is also why Ji Weixing is so enthusiastic towards Ji Minxiu.
As for Ji Weixing, he has been actively admitting his mistakes over the past six months and has long since regained his eligibility as a candidate for heir; otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
"Xiao Xiu, come and sit down quickly."
Over there, Old Master Ji immediately stretched out his hand to Ji Minxiu with a smile, inviting him to sit down next to him.
In the past, this would have aroused jealousy among all the potential heirs.
But now, they are all calm.
Ji Minxiu walked over quickly, took the gift and handed it over, "Grandpa, this is your Mid-Autumn Festival gift and New Year's present. I hope you like it."
After opening it, the old man immediately showed a look of surprise and delight. "This is green agarwood, isn't it? This is an extremely rare and precious item. You've put a lot of thought into it."
This bracelet is one of the treasures that Ji Minxiu bought back from the Dasheng Dynasty.
The other two items have already been given away, achieving their intended purpose. This one is specially reserved for the old man.
The old man is getting on in years, and his sleep and health are not very good. This agarwood bracelet is perfect for him to use to improve his health.
Grandpa Ji, of course, was a connoisseur and cherished the bracelet.
Upon seeing that Old Master Ji had received such a wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival gift, the head of the Ji family couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation in his eyes.
However, Ji Minxiu did not look at him, nor did he take out anything else.
The head of the Ji family was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ashen.
After that, the head of the Ji family wore a sour face the whole time, his eyes glancing at Ji Minxiu from time to time, showing his resentment.
Ji Minxiu seemed oblivious to this, calmly chatting and eating with his peers.
The rest of the Ji family felt somewhat embarrassed by this.
After all, it seems inappropriate for outsiders like us to be here when a father and son are having a conflict.
But after a while, seeing that Ji Minxiu was determined to ignore the Ji family head, the others gradually got used to it, ignored the Ji family head's low mood, and started eating their own meals.
Being ignored, especially seeing Ji Minxiu's indifferent attitude, made the Ji family head even angrier, and he couldn't even eat his meal.
Of course, he was also in the wrong, because he knew why Ji Minxiu treated him that way.
It wasn't before that he tried to force Ji Minxiu into a marriage alliance, but Ji Minxiu disagreed, so he used some methods to suppress Ji Minxiu's business, hoping to make Ji Minxiu give in.
However, when the old man found out, the matter was dropped.
He felt that the matter was over, but Ji Minxiu was still holding onto it, which really annoyed him.
So, when the family banquet was over and Ji Minxiu hadn't made any move, the head of the Ji family couldn't hold back any longer.
He shouted loudly to stop him, "Ji Minxiu, you stop right there! After all these years, you've forgotten all your manners. Is this how you act as a son?"
"The saying goes that a loving mother leads to filial piety, but do you think your actions are those of a father?"
Ji Minxiu originally had no expectations for the head of the Ji family, and after going independent, he just wanted to maintain a good relationship with both sides.
However, the Ji family's actions this time have truly pushed him away.
I'd rather not have this father.
"How have I treated you badly? The Wen family is one of the top wealthy families in Haishi, on par with the Ji family. Countless people would kill to get in touch with them."
The Ji family head said angrily, "If it weren't for the Wen family's little princess seeing you on a short video platform, taking a liking to you, and taking the initiative to ask if we could get to know each other, someone like you..."
"What kind of person am I?"
Before the Ji family head could finish speaking, Ji Minxiu coldly interrupted, "I think it's not that others look down on me, but that you yourself despise me from the bottom of your heart!"
Upon hearing this, the Ji family head was speechless for a moment.
