Chapter 195 is completely messed up; the entire plot is messed up.
Yan Tingnan lowered her eyes, slowly took off her glasses, and tucked them into her breast pocket.
"Was Grandpa's slap a lesson in discipline, or a public trial?"
He spoke, his voice low and hoarse from the swelling and pain in his cheek.
"Private tutor? You still remember private tutor?!"
He took a step forward, his cloudy eyes fixed on Yan Tingnan.
"Yan Chengfeng! The Lin family! And all the people I've placed at headquarters and in branch offices across the country!"
"Overnight, they were either imprisoned or rendered powerless!"
Yan Hongyi's eyes were as dark as iron, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Yan Tingnan, you have quite the methods! What a grand scheme!"
Yan Tingnan chuckled, stood up straight, and ran her fingertips over the bloodstains at the corner of her lips, then rubbed them between her fingers.
"The second uncle's branch of the family has done a lot of dirty work in Xingyi over the years, using the Yan family's name."
"Yan Chengfeng sexually assaulted and amassed wealth, while the Lin family acted as his front man in violation of regulations."
"The evidence is conclusive, and the judiciary has intervened."
"I acted in accordance with the law, cleaned up my own ranks, and prevented the group from being dragged down even further."
"As for the people you arranged, their abilities are not commensurate with their positions, and they will fall sooner or later."
"I'm just clearing away the obstacles ahead of time."
"Grandpa, if you don't prune the dirty branches, the whole plant will rot."
"I can't bear to part with the Yan family, that's why I can bear to part with them."
Yan Hongyi sneered, his voice extremely low.
"Yan Tingnan, do you think I'm too old to wield a sword anymore?!"
He raised his hand, his withered knuckles tapping the tip of his cane.
Yan Tingnan leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Yan Hongyi.
"Yes, Grandpa, you're getting old."
"Deteriorating judgment, misjudgment in personnel selection, and allowing corrupt elements to erode the foundation of the group."
"There are some dirty things that you can't bear to clean, so I have to do it for you."
"I'll sweep away the dirty money and dirty deeds for you, so you won't have any stains on your reputation in your later years."
"To have one's reputation tarnished in old age?"
Yan Hongyi was so angry that he laughed instead.
"What a disgrace to one's reputation in old age!"
"Yan Tingnan, you're playing word games with me. You know perfectly well that touching them is touching me!"
Yan Tingnan slightly tugged at the corner of her lips.
"It was you who personally invited me back and gave me full authority to handle thorny issues."
"The problem is being solved, yet you're questioning the solution?"
"you!"
Yan Hongyi was so choked by his words that his blood boiled, and he raised his cane to strike.
Yan Tingnan neither dodged nor flinched; he simply raised his hand and easily braced himself against the heavy solid wood cane.
He looked down at his grandfather's trembling hands as he exerted himself, his voice deep and slow.
"Grandpa, that's enough."
"Tearing off relations will do no good for you, for me, or for the Yan family."
Yan Hongyi's throat tightened as he was choked by his words, and his face turned ashen.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"My grandson is just reminding his grandfather that times have changed."
"The old approach of emphasizing personal relationships and maintaining balance no longer works in today's capital market."
"Just like this walking stick of yours, no matter how well you use it, what if the core of the wood is eaten away by worms..."
Yan Tingnan's gaze fell on the dragon-headed cane that Yan Hongyi was gripping tightly, and paused meaningfully.
"It needs to be replaced."
"Grandpa, some chairs will grow thorns if you sit on them for too long."
"You're getting old, you shouldn't be worrying about these trivial matters anymore."
"And a reminder to you: live a peaceful and stable life, and be a respected elder of the Yan family."
"Look at paintings, fish, and enjoy the company of your great-grandchildren."
This was also Yan Tingnan's final reminder.
After speaking, he slightly stepped aside to make way for an elder, a gesture of respect.
"The board meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the follow-up handling of Xingyi Entertainment and Lin's Bank."
"If Grandpa still has any doubts, you are welcome to attend and offer your guidance."
He paused, then added, his tone still respectful, but he had already blocked all avenues of retreat.
"Of course, whether you come or not, the outcome will not change."
Yan Hongyi stood frozen in place, his face turning from pale to ashen, a tightness in his chest that he couldn't exhale or exhale.
The pent-up breath made his throat taste metallic and sweet.
Every word that rebellious grandson uttered was outwardly respectful, but inwardly it was a knife aimed at pushing him towards a powerless position!
Let him enjoy the company of his great-grandchildren? And watch the children Yan Tingnan and Su Ruan have?
dream!
Knowing when to stop?
He dominated his entire life, but in the end, his own grandson used the methods he had taught him to corner him and tell him to stop.
He's old.
Lack of energy and poor senses.
They were actually fooled by this rebellious grandson, thinking that he had become addicted to a life of pleasure and lost his edge!
ridiculous!
He looked at Yan Tingnan.
That upright posture, that commanding and decisive aura.
It's just like me when I was young.
No.
The student surpasses the teacher.
He was more ruthless, more decisive, and knew better how to kill with a single blow than I did.
If the Yan family is handed over to him, it may truly reach another peak.
But the prerequisite is that he's willing to listen!
Instead of trampling on him, the grandfather, and the old rules of the Yan family as they are doing now!
Yan Hongyi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with a cold, lifeless depth.
Throughout his life, he had never felt the loss of power so clearly as he did at this moment.
Like sand held tightly in your hand, the more you try to grasp it, the faster it slips away.
A head-on confrontation would be futile.
This rebellious grandson holds not only Qingyan's present situation, but also those trump cards he hasn't fully figured out yet.
He can't push him too hard.
At least, not now.
"I won't be going to the board meeting."
He turned around, leaning on his cane, his steps slightly unsteady, yet his spine remained straight.
He stopped at the door without turning around.
"Listen to the South".
"The road ahead is long, don't rush."
"Be careful not to twist your ankle."
"Some rules, if broken, will have consequences."
After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The office returned to silence.
Jing Huai quietly stepped forward and whispered, "President Yan, your face..."
Yan Tingnan raised her hand and gently touched the swollen cheek with her fingertips, feeling a distinct stinging sensation.
His eyes remained calm and expressionless as he simply said, "It's alright."
cost?
Of course he knew.
But in this world, it's always the bold who get rich and the timid who starve.
The path Yan Tingnan was about to take was blocked by gods and Buddhas, and he also encountered and killed gods.
Moreover, it's a human being.
...
Hospital, Ward V.
Mu Chuji was idly scrolling through her phone, looking at the explosive news about the Yan and Lin families online.
My heart skipped a beat.
So fast? In the original work, this power struggle lasted for a long time.
It's all gone wrong, the whole plot has gone wrong.
The system kept babbling about new plans in her head, but she let it go in one ear and out the other.
[Host, please actively plan your next move...]
Mu Chuji rolled her eyes inwardly.
What kind of plan is that?
Isn't it better to just lie around and be a couch potato?
She stared at the ceiling, contemplating whether to give up or go home was more practical, when her phone rang.
Her eyelids twitched when she saw the number.
Yan Hongyi?
That old fox, he called her on his own initiative?
She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Yan?"
"Your reminder last night was not entirely without merit."
Yan Hongyi's voice slowly drifted over.
Before she could figure out how to respond, Yan Hongyi threw out his next sentence.
"You are very smart, Miss Mu."
"I also know some secrets that ordinary people don't know."
Yan Hongyi abruptly changed the subject, a chill emanating from the receiver.
"Then tell me, what other ideas do you have?"
