Chu Mingshu couldn't bear to see her daughter and husband being ridiculed like this, so she stood up and said, "If anyone is at fault, it should be me. Your uncle is so busy with work, leaving early and returning late every day. Sometimes he goes abroad to negotiate cooperation for half a month. How can he possibly take care of Xinyi?"
Hehe, Shangguan Xiong has long regarded the Shangguan Group as his own, how could he not be interested!
Shangguan Wu stared at the floor, completely ignoring Chu Mingshu.
The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
Old Master Shangguan's eyelids twitched, and he asked helplessly, "Fourth girl, what are you thinking about?"
Shangguan Wu looked completely innocent: "I was looking at the Magic Fairy Castle that I just dug out with my toes. It's so beautiful."
Old Master Shangguan: "..."
Of all the girls in the family, the fourth daughter is probably the most fortunate; her ability to change her expression is simply unmatched.
Shangguan Xiong hadn't felt this frustrated in a long time, but the more frustrated he felt, the more he had to endure it!
He said calmly, "Xinyi made a mistake. She will stay home to reflect on her actions this summer. I will make time to personally teach her. What do you think, Wubao?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."
Shangguan Wu smiled and said understandingly, "But Uncle has to take care of Sister Church and manage the huge Shangguan Group all by himself. It must be even more tiring, right?"
Shangguan Xinyi had already planned how to spend her summer vacation, and at this moment she wished she could tear Shangguan Wu's mouth apart!
A sharp glint flashed in Shangguan Xiong's eyes; he instinctively felt that her purpose was not simple.
Just as expected!
Shangguan Wu smiled slightly: "As a member of the Shangguan family, I also want to share the burden of my family. Can I join the company and learn from my uncle?"
Not very good!
Chu Mingshu practically had the words written all over his face.
Shangguan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "Wu Bao, I remember your medical school is an eight-year program, and the second half of this year is your fifth year, right? Aren't you planning to continue studying?"
Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback.
She forgot that she still had three years until graduation...
"It's something I need to learn."
Shangguan Wu skipped a grade and didn't study. I'm afraid someone might fly over and hit her on the head to see if she's waterlogged.
With a serious expression, she turned to look at Shangguan Xinyi: "However, socialites and heiresses like my cousin are all cultivated from a young age. I'm already too far behind, and I need to catch up quickly."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin looked at her with a mixture of heartache and guilt.
Although he knew that the people in Hakuin Village weren't truly rural farmers, outsiders didn't know that. They called Wu Bao a country bumpkin with no manners, but his Wu Bao was as beautiful as a fairy. How was she country? They were blind!
Quan Tianrui thought to himself: Is this definitely not irony?
He glanced at Shangguan Xinyi, his gaze gradually becoming complicated. He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wu. Everything today seemed to be within her calculations. But this kind of woman was too clever; she was only suitable as a mistress, not as a wife.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu continued, "Grandpa, please give me two years. If I don't do well, even if you throw me into a closed academy, I will not say a word. Is that alright?"
"Of course!"
Shangguan Lin expressed his full support, turning to look at the old man: "Right, Dad?"
Old Master Shangguan glanced at him speechlessly and said, "I've retired. Now Ah Xiong is managing the group, so let Ah Xiong make the decisions."
Shangguan Xiong had already thought it through, but he couldn't say it so soon.
He pondered for a moment before suggesting, "Wu Bao has been studying medicine for so many years, it would be a shame if she didn't continue. My suggestion is for her to balance both, studying medicine on one hand and learning at the company during her holidays, starting with managing a small company. What do you think?"
Grandpa Shangguan nodded in agreement: "It is a pity, but this will make things a bit harder for Fourth Sister."
Shangguan Lin felt sorry for Wu Bao when he heard how hard it was and advised, "Wu Bao, why don't you not go to the company? Dad will support you."
Old Master Shangguan glared, "That good-for-nothing is just dragging us down!"
Shangguan Wu comforted her father: "Dad, it's okay, I'm not afraid of hard work."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Shangguan looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction, and then asked, "Ah Xiong, which company do you plan to let Fourth Sister try her hand at?"
Shangguan Xiong replied, "Our branch in this city only has Tiansong Entertainment, which we just acquired. It should be something that young people like, and it's close to home. If there's anything I don't understand, I can come home anytime to ask you. What do you think?"
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Gu Yunzhen smiled enigmatically. Shangguan Xiong was handing over a newly acquired company that needed restructuring to a complete novice who knew nothing. Was he planning to watch it go bankrupt?
That's quite interesting.
However, nothing concerning the Shangguan family is his concern.
He didn't remind Shangguan Wu.
Grandpa Shangguan didn't offer any warnings. Although there was a 90% chance of the business going bankrupt, he was still willing to gamble on that 10% chance and asked, "Fourth daughter, with a total revenue of 500 million over two years, do you accept this challenge?"
Only 500 million?
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and smiled gently: "Okay, I accept!"
Although she had more than 500 million in that black card, she didn't want a small company. As long as she made enough money, the shareholders in the group would naturally come attracted by the opportunity.
A little girl is still a little girl.
Relieved, Shangguan Xiong said gently to her, "Since Wu Bao has made up her mind, I'll call my secretary and have her draft the company transfer contract and send it over immediately. You'll be having dinner at home, right?"
Shangguan Wu looked at Gu Yunzhen.
Why are you looking at him? Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "I have something to do this afternoon." Glancing at Shangguan Lin's eyes, which were as wide as saucers, he added, "I'll come pick you up when I'm done."
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but chuckle and winked at him: "Okay, honey!"
