Just then, perhaps by coincidence, Jiang Cheng's brother, Jiang Qi, suddenly walked out from the entrance.
His appearance surprised Old Master Jiang, but he was even more surprised by Madam Jiang's protection. In the past, no matter what he said or what occasion he was in, Madam Jiang would never interrupt. She knew how to be a good listener.
They also know how to respect others and don't express their own opinions.
This has always been one of the things he admires most, but he didn't expect her to suddenly become so emotional today, which is very different from her usual self.
She is usually very calm and has little emotional fluctuation; she is always a very amiable person.
He asked with some surprise, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly saying so much and standing up for him? Of the three brothers, he's the one you treat the best. It's his honor to receive your favor, but you can't prevent me from making a fair evaluation just because you value him more. What I'm saying may sound harsh, but it's all the truth."
Grandpa Jiang looked Jiang Qi up and down, knowing that he might have been standing in the entrance hall for a long time.
And he listened to everything he said, which is why when he walked up to him now, he didn't say a word or call him "Dad" like before.
But he felt it didn't matter anymore, since he hadn't shown any favoritism. He believed he was simply giving his fair assessment of the two brothers, nothing more.
There is no bias whatsoever. If he misunderstood, it only shows that the child is too narrow-minded.
Thinking of this, he asked again, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you say anything?"
Jiang Qi is Jiang Cheng's workaholic brother who works tirelessly day and night at the company, even when he attends Jiang Cheng's wedding, he only makes a brief appearance before rushing back to work.
He didn't want to miss work; in fact, he valued his work more than his life.
I heard that he fainted in the office or meeting room several times due to overwork, and was hospitalized several times because of overwork.
This left others unable to understand how he could care so much about the company and be so passionate about his work.
When asked, Jiang Qi paused, then forced a smile.
"Dad, I think I look a little silly because I'm too tired today. I forgot to ask you anything. Please don't mind."
What you just said was very insightful, and I agree with it. Although I have indeed worked very hard, I am still no match for my younger brother, Jiang Cheng. He is much more talented than me, and he is a naturally gifted player who can easily achieve the results he wants without putting in any effort.
I admit I was at a disadvantage from the start, so Dad, don't worry. What you just said won't bother me; in fact, I think it's quite good. You were able to fairly point out our strengths and weaknesses, making me understand that I should learn from my younger brother.
Jiang Qi appeared completely unconcerned, as if the old man's words had no effect on him whatsoever.
Whether what he said was true or false, the old man was indeed quite pleased to hear it and gave him an approving look.
"Well, you're right, kid. It seems I underestimated you! These days, you've not only made great progress at the company, but you've also become very magnanimous. As the saying goes, a prime minister's belly can hold a boat."
A successful businessman not only needs a sharp business mind and clever thinking, but also exceptional abilities, and a broad mind is also very important! If someone isn't broad-minded, they wouldn't be able to manage such a large company. Now that you've said that, I feel very reassured.
Jiang Qi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
But he maintained a smile on his face, saying, "My return today may be a bit sudden. It was something I thought of, after all, my younger brother just got married, and I haven't been home for a meal in a long time, so I came back to have a meal with everyone."
I didn't give you any advance notice, probably because I was too busy and forgot. I hope everyone will understand and forgive my sudden arrival, and not be too surprised.
As she said this, Jiang Qi turned her gaze to Jiang Cheng.
He just sat there, with a nonchalant and carefree attitude, and it was precisely this attitude that made him feel that no matter how hard he tried, he could never compare to him.
His composure seemed to be ingrained in his very being, something that others couldn't easily imitate.
He truly admired him for that, but what good are so many merits?
Although he has temporarily returned to his true form, it won't be long before he reverts to being a mentally ill person.
Dad was too naive to let a mentally ill person run the company.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile again, and then sat down.
When Mrs. Jiang saw him arrive, she immediately asked the housekeeper to pour him a cup of hot tea. "Go and get out the tea that I've been saving for a long time and brew it for him. This child only comes home a few times a year, let alone eats with us. Let him experience the atmosphere of family."
It's clear that Madam Jiang is genuinely enthusiastic about him and values him highly.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo couldn't help but wonder what was going on between these two. He had never seen Madam Jiang greet him so respectfully before.
"My second brother seems to be in good condition today. Has his illness improved a lot? Is he already able to go back to work?"
Jiang Qi looked Jiang Cheng up and down and asked with concern.
Before Jiang Cheng could speak, Jiang Mo immediately became his mouth mule.
"How could that be! My second brother seems perfectly normal now, but if you ask him to handle those incredibly troublesome jobs, he'll definitely have a breakdown!"
In this state, it is best to rest and recuperate to stabilize the condition. If he rashly does heavy work, what if it does not achieve the desired effect and instead worsens his condition?
Besides, you've been managing the company quite well, so you should continue managing it. My second brother can just stay home for now.
Jiang Qi nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
His third brother was still the same as when he was a child; he didn't like to be close to him and preferred to cling to Jiang Cheng.
The two were almost inseparable; wherever they went, they could be seen together, as if there were only two boys in the house.
"Third brother, it seems you know Second Brother's condition best. So I'll have to ask you to take care of him for me in the future and help him get better. Sigh! I'm just too busy with work, and sometimes I can't even take care of him properly. I really haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as the eldest brother."
