Chapter 409 Let's give it a try
To avoid further angering the old man, Nangong Tianyu quickly pulled the resentful Nangong Tianchen away.
Nangong Tianyu didn't take Nangong Tianchen's dismissal to heart at all.
It's just a general manager position at an entertainment company. This younger brother is irresponsible and only goes to the company every day to make a show of it, and casually arranges resources for Nangong Xueyao. He doesn't achieve anything.
What angered Nangong Tianchen was that he felt he had done nothing wrong, yet he was punished by the old man in front of A Chu, which made him lose face.
Neither of them cared about the position of general manager of the entertainment company, unaware of the trouble it would bring to their beloved younger sister, Nangong Xueyao.
In the study, A-Chu stood there with her eyes lowered.
She knew the old man was scrutinizing her; his gaze was sharp, as if it could see right through her.
But Achu felt no apprehension whatsoever, letting them scrutinize her.
After a moment, the old man spoke up: "You should go out too."
Achu nodded: "Okay, Grandpa."
She turned and left without saying a word.
Only the old man and the butler, Uncle Chen, remained in the study.
The old man sat silently, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Old Chen, do you think I really should break free from my old ways of thinking?"
Uncle Chen naturally understood what the old man meant; he wanted to consider training A-Chu and give it a try.
He didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked inside.
This Ninth Miss was just released from the mental hospital today, and she's already made the old man, who's been so sexist for so many years... consider choosing a female heir!
After considering it for a moment, Chen Bo respectfully said something useless: "Master will surely make his own decision."
The old man has indeed made up his mind.
Before today, he had never considered choosing a female heir.
But Achu's words woke him up.
Only children born to daughters of the Nangong family can be guaranteed to be of the Nangong family bloodline.
Moreover, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of women with outstanding abilities in various fields.
Undeniably, women are just as capable as men in many ways, and in many other ways they even have innate advantages.
Actually, the more important point is that the conflict between Nangong Tianyue and Nangong Tianchen today allowed the old man to see Nangong Tianyu's performance.
Nangong Tianyu appears to be neutral, but he is an older brother who tries hard to maintain a balance.
He will stop Nangong Tianchen from slandering Achu.
They would also be the first to break up a conflict between Nangong Tianchen and Nangong Tianyue.
But Nangong Tianyu and Nangong Tianchen are, after all, biological brothers.
The old man couldn't help but wonder, if the two of them clashed again after he was gone, whose side would Nangong Tianyu take?
That's questionable.
However, if the heir is Achu.
The old man knew that she didn't have a good relationship with the third wife, and even worse with her own brothers.
If she inherits the Nangong family, it's uncertain whether the third branch will have a good life.
Therefore, without a doubt, Achu will definitely stand on Nangong Tianyue's side.
The scales in the old man's heart slowly tipped as he pondered these thoughts.
However, there is one more condition.
That means Achu is capable of taking on the responsibility.
"Give it a try."
Finally, the old man muttered to himself.
As Chen Bo listened, he had some guesses in his mind.
He thought that he should probably be even more respectful in his attitude towards Miss Ninth.
.
The next day, after Achu got up, she first asked Yilan, "Has Second Brother gotten up yet?"
Yilan replied, "The second young master is up."
Achu: "How was he today?"
Yilan: "The second young master's condition has stabilized."
Achu nodded: "That's good."
She hadn't expected that Nangong Tianchen's violent behavior towards her would provoke him to become even more ill.
Looking back now, I can't help but feel a warmth in my heart.
Her mentally challenged cousin would protect her, but her biological brother treated her like an enemy.
After washing up, Achu left the bedroom and went downstairs to have breakfast.
The old man and Nangong Tianyue happened to be there as well.
Achu smiled and said, "Grandpa, Second Brother, good morning."
The old man looked at A-Chu and simply gave a faint "hmm".
Nangong Tianyue, however, beamed with a bright smile and excitedly waved to Achu: "Little sister Achu, come quick! We have molten egg tarts for breakfast today!"
Achu smiled and walked over, sitting down next to Nangong Tianyue.
Nangong Tianyue quickly grabbed an egg tart and put it on Achu's plate: "Little sister, eat up, it's super delicious, I can only eat it twice a week!"
He has a particular fondness for sweets, and for the sake of his health, his diet is strictly regulated.
"Thank you, second brother! I've never had such delicious egg tarts before!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Tianyue handed two more to Achu: "Then you should eat more!"
Achu: "Okay."
The old man sat in the main seat, looking at Nangong Tianyue and then at Achu, seemingly more determined in his decision.
After breakfast, Nangong Tianyue wanted to take Achu out to play, but the old man stopped him.
"A-Yue, Grandpa has something to say to your little sister A-Chu. You play by yourself for now."
Nangong Tianyue immediately said, "What is it? I want to hear it too!"
The old man said, "It's your sister Chu's secret, you can't listen to it."
Nangong Tianyue pouted reluctantly.
It was only after Achu leaned over and whispered something to him that he reluctantly agreed.
Immediately, a servant came up and took Nangong Tianyue away.
Ah Chu followed the old man to the study.
Ah Chu had never been to this study before, not even once in the past three years.
Of course, it wasn't just Ah Chu; the old man's other descendants rarely came to this study either.
But Ah Chu only returned yesterday, and this is already the third time he's entered the study.
"Grandpa, what do you want to tell me?"
An old man and a young man sat facing each other, and Achu spoke first.
The old man looked at her and got straight to the point: "I can give you a chance."
Achu tilted his head slightly, seemingly puzzled.
The old man continued, "I will arrange for you to be taught by the best teachers, and I will also arrange for you to work at the group's headquarters."
"If you don't show me the advantages of choosing you within six months, then you should put away your ambitions."
As he listened to the old man's words, Achu's eyes gradually brightened, growing brighter and brighter.
A smile played on her lips, her eyes resolute: "Okay, six months it is!"
Six months is enough time for Achu.
Moreover, the six months the old man mentioned meant six months of full support for her, not leaving her isolated and helpless.
After leaving the study, Achu returned to her room.
She only released all her joy when she was alone in her room.
Just then, Wen Zhiyu sent her another message.
The questions were still formulaic, like a routine follow-up call from the attending physician.
However, Achu couldn't help but want to share her joy with him: "Yesterday I asked Grandpa if I wanted to run for the position of heir, and he agreed today, saying he'd give me six months to test him."
