Chapter 363 True Life Story
"Dad, you think too highly of me..." Nie Yao sighed softly, shook her head, and replied seriously, "They say interest is the best teacher. If you don't have interest, how can you learn quickly and well?"
"You haven't tried it yet, so how do you know you're not interested?" Father Nie raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Besides, interest doesn't just come naturally; it takes time to study. Isn't your interest in archaeology because your adoptive father took you on excavation trips?"
Nie Yao was speechless for a moment, because there was really no way to refute what her father said!
Elder Nie's previous displeasure subsided. He continued to play with the walnuts and said slowly, "Ayao, your father is right. You like archaeology because of the unknown and the challenge. But the business world is also like this. It's constantly changing. A business elite who was glamorous one moment might fall into bankruptcy crisis the next because of a wrong decision. Isn't this a challenge worth your while?"
Nie Yao fell silent. She had to admit that what her father and grandfather said was really convincing, leaving her with no room for rebuttal!
But her own hobby is what she has been sticking to for twenty years, and she has never thought of giving up!
And she is not the only heir of the Nie family!
"Grandpa, what would you have done if I hadn't found her?" Nie Yao looked sharply at Elder Nie and Father Nie and asked earnestly, "Before my identity was clear, should you have always considered Nie Jinxi as a candidate for training? Since you've always considered Nie Jinxi a member of the Nie family, why aren't you considering her as the heir now? Is it simply because she's not the eldest grandson's daughter?"
Elder Nie was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Nie Yao to bring up Nie Jinxi. He hesitantly said, "Ayao, you know that you are now the eldest daughter of the Nie family..."
"I think the reason isn't just that!" Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at Old Nie, asking thoughtfully, "Grandpa, since you and Dad have let me inherit the family business, shouldn't you at least let me know Nie Jinxi's true background?"
Old Nie was in a state of hesitation. Nie Yao looked at her father again, but saw her father touching his nose, trying to hide something awkwardly. It seemed that without Old Nie's words, he didn't want to say anything more.
Nie Yao also picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spoke calmly, "Grandpa and Father are reluctant to speak openly to me. I guess they have something to hide. Since that's the case, I won't press you any further. However, I also hope Grandpa and Father won't mention the matter of inheriting the family business anymore!"
After she said this, she put down her teacup and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Old Nie shouted, preventing Nie Yao from leaving. He asked in amusement and anger, "Ah Yao, are you threatening Grandpa?"
He finally understood. Nie Yao's personality was so similar to his own when he was young. None of the children in the family were more like Nie Yao than him. It was worth it that he insisted on making Nie Yao the heir to the family!
"Grandpa, I don't dare threaten you!" Nie Yao shook her head, sat back on the sofa, and said with a faint smile, "I just think that if you don't have complete trust in me, why bother talking about inheriting the family business?"
Father Nie was somewhat moved by these words. A trace of guilt appeared on Old Nie's face. He sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Well, it's okay to tell you about this..."
