At the beginning, the second young master did a very good job, you could even say he did a very good job.
With the old man's help, the second young master secured many large projects for the Ye family one after another, generating considerable revenue for the Ye family and earning him the support and love of many people in the Ye family.
The old man was also very pleased to see this.
The Ye family business was founded when the eldest son was alive. Seeing that the family could work together to develop the Ye family business even better, the old man was very happy.
Seeing that the second young master was quite capable, and that his own health was increasingly failing him, the old man gradually handed over most of his business to the second young master.
The old man himself gradually started going to the company less often, slowly reducing it to once a month, and eventually just attending the company's year-end meeting.
During this time, the old man's health has gradually improved thanks to proper rest.
The change occurred seven years ago, when the old man had almost stopped managing the company's business.
And like the old man, he almost withdrew from the company's management and stayed by the old man's side.
He remembers clearly that the incident happened that autumn afternoon.
That day, he accompanied the old man fishing in the pond behind the house when the person in charge of the secret guards suddenly appeared.
Then I told the old man some shocking news!
According to reliable sources, the second young master is secretly bribing shareholders, preparing to take over the Ye family business for himself!
The old man was furious upon hearing this!
The old man couldn't believe his son would do such a thing.
From the very beginning, when the second young master was sent to work at the Ye family business, the old master told him that he would eventually hand over the Ye family business to the young master, since the founder of the Ye family business was the young master's father.
It was only right to hand it over to him. The old man said that he had been taking care of the Ye family for the young master for many years, and he hoped that the second young master could also come back to help. He would give the second young master 10% of the shares as a reward after the matter was completed.
Everyone knows what Ye's 10% stake represents.
That means that even if he does nothing, the second young master can still live a carefree and happy life.
He was also present as the old man's secretary at the time and witnessed it firsthand.
The second young master agreed at the time.
I just don't know why the second young master suddenly had this idea.
Although the old man was very reluctant to believe it, he did not blindly deny it, given his many years of experience in the business world.
Immediately dispatch secret guards to investigate thoroughly!
At that time, he and the old man both hoped that the news was not true.
A month later, the commander of the secret guards came again, and this time the news he brought shattered their illusions.
When the overwhelming evidence was presented to the old man, he was furious and immediately decided to have the young master return at the end of the year.
At the year-end meeting that year, the old man personally dismissed the second young master from all his positions and announced on the spot that the young master would become the president of Ye Corporation and the new head of the company.
The second young master was not about to back down, so the old man presented a mountain of irrefutable evidence, saying that if he continued to make trouble like this, he would not be so ruthless. Only then did the second young master have no choice but to give up.
Seeing this, the old man made a request: that the second young master leave country Z and go to country Y.
The second young master refused, hurling insults at the old man and even threatening to sever their father-son relationship, but the old man remained unmoved.
In the end, the two parted on bad terms.
Finally, the second young master went to Country Y, the youngest young master inherited the Ye family business, and the old master retired completely.
~~~~~~~~~
From then on, he never inquired about any matters related to the Ye Group again and devoted himself to a leisurely life.
As the old man's personal butler, he knew very well that the old man was not truly happy about it.
Outsiders had no idea what had happened during that time. The Ye family only claimed that the second young master had gone abroad to develop a new project, and that the young master had taken over all domestic affairs.
In the following years, the young master managed the Ye family business better than when the second young master was in charge, while the friction between the second young master and the young master increased day by day.
He had thought this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Suddenly, a hint of indescribable emotion appeared in the butler's eyes as he looked at the old man.
He didn't know how to comfort the old man. He had never had children in his life and had never been troubled by this, let alone knew how to solve it.
He knew that the Second Young Master's return to the country was probably still related to the Ye family.
It seems unlikely that this will end well.
Butler Jin kept his eyes fixed on the old man, unable to offer any words of comfort. He could only silently listen and let the old man vent his emotions.
Immediately afterwards, the old man's voice came.
"What sins did I commit in my past life that I have to endure the pain of killing my own flesh and blood when I'm already half-buried in the ground?"
Towards the end, the old man's voice even trembled with a hint of a sob.
After hearing what Old Master Ye said, Butler Jin felt heartbroken.
Yes, it is indeed extremely cruel for them to have to experience the situation of killing each other at their age.
But they weren't involved, so what could they do to stop it?
"The young master is so filial, he would never let such a thing happen. Master, please don't worry about it. Your health is the most important thing."
Seeing the old man so sad, Butler Jin, who didn't know what to say at first, couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye shook his head with a wry smile, "If it were before, Xiao Han certainly wouldn't have done it, but now Wen Yao wants to harm Xue'er, I'm afraid..."
The old man didn't say everything aloud, but what he did say was enough to shock Butler Jin.
So that's how it is.
He knew very well how good the young master and young mistress's relationship was, based on their time together recently.
The young master cares so much about the young mistress, how could he allow anyone to harm her?
The second young master is being foolish!
Given this situation, it's absolutely impossible for the second young master and the young master to have a peaceful ending; the old man caught in the middle is probably the one who suffers the most.
On one side is her own son, and on the other is her own grandson. Both are her flesh and blood, and it would be bad if either side got hurt.
Even though the old man knew this was the situation, he still couldn't change his status. How painful that must have been for him.
Thinking of this, Butler Jin looked at the old man, with a pained expression, as he gazed intently at him, whom he had lived with for decades.
To Butler Jin, the old man was more like family. How could he calmly and without sadness watch the old man grieve?
He also felt increasingly sorry for the old man.
After toiling away for most of my life, this is the result I've gotten.
After speaking, the old man seemed to remember something and stood up firmly. "Come on, come with me."
After saying that, he got up and walked straight to the door.
After hearing this, Butler Jin nodded and followed the old man downstairs.
