Chapter 413 Nangong Chu, are you obsessed with money?!
"Although Director Liao Ming is a new director, he is very talented. His previous works and the one before that were very well received. Netizens say that the quality of his dramas is guaranteed."
“I’ve also read his new script. The subject matter and plot are very novel and interesting, and it’s worth investing in.”
"As for his public statement that Xueyao is unprofessional and takes leave frequently, affecting the crew's work, I have asked her about it, and it is true."
"It can only be said that Director Liao Ming values his work very much and cannot tolerate any flaws."
"But this precisely demonstrates that investing in his scripts guarantees quality."
"Grandpa, do you think there's a problem with my decision?"
Achu looked at the old man.
The old man hadn't paid much attention to matters related to Star Orbit Entertainment before; it was only after Ah Chu chose Star Orbit Entertainment that he took a closer look.
He didn't know the specifics, but he had a general idea.
Now, upon hearing Achu's arrangements, the old man's eyes showed no blame, only admiration.
He was about to praise A Chu a few words when Nangong Tianchen next to him jumped up.
He pointed at A-Chu's nose, his voice trembling with emotion: "Nangong Chu, are you obsessed with money?! All you think about is making money, making money!"
"You make it sound so high-sounding, but you're just deliberately targeting Xueyao and trying to embarrass her!"
The old man's good mood was ruined, and his face darkened again.
He casually grabbed a jade ornament from the side and threw it at Nangong Tianchen.
The jade ornament was small, but it hit Nangong Tianchen on the shoulder, making him howl in pain.
Nangong Tianchen had been beaten by Nangong Wang and scolded by Xu Li since he was a child. His grandfather was dignified but never actually laid a hand on his children and grandchildren.
And now...
Nangong Tianchen was filled with resentment, but when he saw the old man's expression, he immediately backed down.
The old man suppressed his anger and said, "No wonder the financial reports of Xinggui Entertainment have been declining and losing money year after year since I handed it over to you for three years. It turns out you treat money like dirt!"
"In that case, starting next month, your allowance from the main building will be stopped, and you are not to get involved in any of the company's business from now on!"
The old man is quite generous to his grandchildren. Every month, the main building provides them with an extra allowance, even those grandchildren who are already in their mid-twenties.
However, the old Achu didn't have that, because the money never passed through her hands.
Now it was Nangong Tianchen's turn to have a drastic change in expression.
He has always been extravagant and unrestrained, and he is very generous to his cronies.
He doesn't have enough pocket money every month, so he has to ask Nangong Tianyu for more.
Now that he no longer gets pocket money from the main building, it's like his pocket money has been cut in half, making it even more insufficient!
And the old man said he shouldn't get involved in the company's business anymore. Does that mean he can forget about joining the Nangong Group in the future?
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong!"
Nangong Tianchen readily admitted his mistake.
Old man: "Oh? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Nangong Tianchen: "I...I was wrong..."
He thought about it for a long time, but deep down he didn't think he was wrong.
The more he thought about it, the more he blamed Achu.
If Ah Chu hadn't insisted on going to Xinggui Entertainment and making those arrangements, he wouldn't have come to confront her in anger, nor would he have angered the old man.
Thinking of all this, Nangong Tianchen couldn't help but glare at Achu again.
Achu saw his fierce expression and laughed inwardly.
She looked at the old man and said 'understandingly', "Grandpa, please don't blame Fifth Brother. He is close to Xueyao and dotes on her. Naturally, he can't bear to see Xueyao suffer any grievances."
Nangong Tianchen glared at Achu again: "Nangong Chu! I don't need your pretense here! You..."
"Old Chen, tell him to get out. I don't want to see him for the time being!"
Butler Chen Bo immediately responded, and then several bodyguards stepped forward and carried Nangong Tianchen out.
The old man was so angry with Nangong Tianchen that he felt dizzy and leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Uncle Chen brought over the blood pressure measuring device, and A Chu and Nangong Tianyue also came over.
"Grandpa, are you alright? It's your own health; it's not worth getting upset."
Ah Chu offered words of comfort.
The old man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
He's really getting old; he can't deny it!
The old man opened his eyes and looked at A Chu and Nangong Tianyue, both of whom had worried expressions in their eyes.
He felt very comfortable.
A kind smile appeared on his aged face, and the old man said, "Grandpa is alright now."
He then praised Ah Chu: "Your work arrangements at Star Orbit Entertainment today were excellent. Don't worry about what others say, just do your job."
Achu nodded, her eyes filled with emotion: "Okay, with Grandpa's words, I will do it with confidence!"
The old man hummed in agreement.
Without the noisy Nangong Tianchen, the atmosphere in the main building became somewhat warmer.
But things were quite lively on the third wife's side.
Not only did Uncle Chen have his bodyguards send Nangong Tianchen back to the third branch of the family, but he also recounted how Nangong Tianchen had angered the old man here.
Nangong Wang and Nangong Tianyu had just returned home when they heard the news, and their vision went black.
Xu Li was still heartbroken that her son's eyes were swollen from being hit by Nangong Tianyue, and she was applying medicine to him while cursing him.
Nangong Wang was so angry that his hands were trembling: "Nangong Tianchen! Can't you live a day without causing me trouble?!"
Xu Li was indignant: "How can you blame A-Chen? If anyone should be blamed, it's that ingrate Nangong Chu! A-Chen was just standing up for Xueyao!"
Nangong Wang's eyes widened, and his voice rose even higher: "He made the old man so angry that he got high blood pressure, and he's still innocent?!"
Nangong Tianyu also frowned, his expression solemn: "Achen, you are being too irrational. Even if you want to cause trouble for Nangong Chu, you shouldn't do it over at the main building."
Nangong Tianchen still felt wronged: "I didn't expect that girl to be so scheming!"
Nangong Wang: "You're so stupid! You idiot! If the old man takes his anger out on me and your older brother because of you, you..."
Nangong Tianchen: "Yes, yes, yes! I'm no match for my older brother in anything, all I do is cause trouble! It's all my fault!"
Nangong Wang: "What kind of attitude is this?! You've caused trouble and you still think you're right?"
Nangong Wang, who was already angry, was so enraged by Nangong Tianchen's behavior that he wanted to find a rattan cane to beat him.
Nangong Wang wanted to beat his son, and Xu Li tried to stop him. The noise could be heard from the third house.
The second branch of the family, the Nangong family, also discussed this matter at the dining table.
Nangong Tang is the old man's illegitimate son. He is ambitious and more capable than Nangong Wang in all aspects of work.
The old man hesitated to choose an heir simply because he was an illegitimate child.
Despite this, Nangongtang did not give up his fight for the position of successor.
Nangongtang has two daughters and two sons.
The eldest daughter is already married, and the eldest son has just gotten married.
"I heard that the old man was so angry with Nangong Tianchen today that he almost called the family doctor."
Nangong Tang's wife, Qiu Shulian, brought this up first.
Nangong Tang asked, "What happened?"
Others who were unaware of the situation also looked at Nangong Tianyu and Qiu Shulian with curiosity.
Qiu Shulian immediately told her family what had happened in the main building, describing it vividly as if she had been there herself.
The fourth son, Nangong Tianyu, the eldest son of the second wife, sneered: "Did the third wife's brains all end up with Nangong Tianyu? Nangong Tianchen is too stupid, daring to cause trouble at the main building!"
The sixth brother, Nangong Tiankuo, asked curiously, "So Grandpa really won't give the fifth brother pocket money anymore?"
Qiu Shulian: "What kind of person is the old man? If he says he won't give it, then he definitely won't give it."
Nangong Tang: "That's not the point. The point is that the old man said he won't let the fifth son get involved in the group's business anymore."
Nangong Tianyu exchanged a meaningful glance with his father and said, "In other words, if something were to happen to Third Uncle and Eldest Brother, the Third Branch of the family would..."
Nangong Tiankuo: "But the third branch still has the eleventh son!"
Nangong Tianyu: "Nangong Tianling is even worse than you, what great things can he possibly achieve?"
Nangong Tiankuo choked for a moment, then said angrily, "Brother, just say what you want to say, why are you putting me down!"
Nangong Tang's youngest daughter, the seventh son Nangong Shirui, bit her chopsticks and finally couldn't help but speak:
"Grandpa actually let Nangong Chu manage Xinggui Entertainment, so can I ask Grandpa for a small company to manage too?"
The whole family turned their heads at the same time to look at Nangong Shirui.
Nangong Tiankuo exclaimed even more dramatically, "You?! Nangong Shirui, what else can you do besides shopping and spending money everywhere?"
Nangong Shirui's face immediately darkened: "Can I be worse than that lunatic Nangong Chu?!"
Qiu Shulian: "Indeed, I don't know what the old man was thinking, actually letting Nangong Chu take over Star Orbit Entertainment."
Nangong Tang didn't take Achu seriously. The old man's preference for sons over daughters was ingrained in his bones, so he wasn't worried at all.
Moreover, "Star Orbit Entertainment is just a small company. The old man probably just casually handed it over to her to play around with."
Just as Ah Chu had predicted, she took over Star Orbit Entertainment, and no one saw her as a threat.
