Chapter 233: The Rich Old Lady (7)
Regardless of whether the second brother Zhou Xin and the fourth brother Zhou Wenhua have any objections, it will not affect the legal process of transferring the company to Shi Sui's name.
The rules set out in Old Mrs. Zhou's father's will are clearly written in black and white.
Besides, the three companies under Shisui's control are as small as birds, not even enough to fill their teeth, so what is there to object to?
However, the sharpness emanating from Shihui made them more wary of this sister and they also wanted to win her over.
It’s just that no one is willing to express it openly first.
This century-long reunion of brother and sister started with a dramatic performance. In the middle, they were silent for a while because of Shihui's request, and then it turned into the two fathers being sarcastic to each other's sons, and finally parted on bad terms.
Second brother Zhou Xin: "Fourth brother, I heard your son is hooking up with another female celebrity? How many has this been?... You and I both know what kind of women in the entertainment industry are. Tsk tsk, he doesn't even mind their filth?"
Fourth brother Zhou Wen counterattacked: "My son raised these women and kept them for himself, so they must be pure. But it's normal for some people to be jealous. After all, not every Zhou has the ability to create a star. Some people are born to be wasteful and bring shame to the family... Brother, don't you agree?"
The two of them quarreled like children, and Shisui could hardly hold back her anger after hearing so much of it.
...After that, Shi Sui lived in Old Lady Zhou's house.
However, she only chose a guest room with a good view to live in, and she did not touch the bedroom suite where the original owner, Old Mrs. Zhou, lived.
In the blink of an eye, the Great Cold has arrived, and it is only 4 days away from the first day of the Lunar New Year.
H City is located on the subtropical coast, and the weather is as hot and cold as a scumbag.
I have to wear a sweater and jacket to keep warm in the morning. At noon, I will sweat slightly after walking a few steps in the sun wearing only a single layer of clothes. In the evening, when the sunlight is gone, the coldness invades the whole body from the soles of the feet.
But...it's extremely cold on the top of the mountain, and even colder in the villa.
Deserted and cold.
The 4-story villa, more than a dozen luxurious suites, huge front and back gardens, and a private doctor's training ground are as magnificent as a castle or palace.
But now, apart from Shihui, there is only a housekeeper sent by the family trust foundation, a few servants and a driver living there.
Even though everyone is busy making New Year decorations such as posting Spring Festival couplets, hanging red lanterns, and placing New Year flowers and oranges, the negative energy in the room still lingers.
The Feng Shui saying "a small number of people cannot hold down a large house" refers to this situation.
In the years between the death of her parents and the injury she sustained in a fall that caused her to fall and she fell into a coma, Mrs. Zhou lived every day like a walking corpse in this eerily quiet environment. Even if she wasn't sick, she was tortured to the point of becoming ill...
The company transfer procedures are still in progress, and Shisui can only wait patiently.
She turned on the TV and watched the news to pass the time.
I turned to TVB, the most popular local TV station, and it was broadcasting a preview of the New Year's Eve program "Emerald Stars Welcome the New Year".
The screen full of festive red and the New Year songs played with the sound of gongs and drums made the empty mansion seem even more desolate.
As usual, TV artists took turns to say New Year greetings to the camera.
The last shot is given to executives from TV stations and major entertainment companies.
"On January 24th, Chinese New Year's Eve, at 9:30 PM, let's celebrate the Lunar New Year together. We'll meet you at TVB. See you there, yay!!"
On the screen, there were more than a dozen men and women dressed in bright red and shouting slogans, and Shi Sui recognized at a glance the man in the C position who was dressed quite elegantly - the most proud son of fourth brother Zhou Wenhua.
Zhou Xiaofeng, 34 years old, unmarried.
The entertainment company he founded was in operation for less than 10 years. It not only produced several new film queens, but also recruited many popular singers. It focused on both movies and records, and even monopolized the public relations channels for foreign stars to come to H City for performances and promotions. It was in the limelight at the time.
Among the dozens of people in the Zhou family, the one Shi Sui is most interested in but has not met yet is Zhou Xiaofeng.
The outside world hailed him as a young talent, the rising star of H City, and one of the most competitive successors to Dahe Group. Zhou Xin, an old veteran with many years of experience in the business world, regarded him as a strong rival... Shi Sui was also quite interested in seeing how capable he was.
Seeing Shi Sui staring intently at the TV, the housekeeper said to her respectfully but with a hint of timidity, "Miss Zhou, I've prepared the menu for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner. Let me show you what it's like and see if it suits your taste..."
Reunion dinner?
What kind of reunion dinner should I eat when I’m alone?
In fact, her second brother Zhou Xin, fourth brother Zhou Wenhua, and Zhou Shiya's sister had all extended olive branches many times, wanting to invite her to have New Year's Eve dinner together.
But it would be more appropriate to call it the Hongmen Banquet.
The reporters outside are all watching.
Whoever's house Old Mrs. Zhou goes to for dinner represents her support for that person.
Shisui naturally agreed to none of them.
"No need." Shi Sui waved her hand and instructed the housekeeper: "On New Year's Eve, you and the servants should take a day off. Go home and spend time with your family if you have one, and spend time with your friends if you have one. Don't worry, I will pay your wages."
The housekeeper was very nervous: "How can this be possible?! Not to mention New Year's Eve, even on a normal day——"
Tokiho glanced over with a sharp look, forcing the housekeeper to take a step back unconsciously.
"Don't make me say the same thing twice."
She spoke softly, but her aura was so strong that the housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more.
On New Year's Eve, Shi Sui had much more important things to do than eating a reunion dinner alone.
