Normally, each branch of the Shen family eats separately and only gets together on holidays.

So this place seems a bit deserted, but the old man doesn't care at all.

"I haven't been to the company headquarters these days. How have you been recently?" the old man asked calmly.

"Grandpa, everything is fine."

Old Master Shen glanced at Shen Zhehan, who was smiling, and asked seriously, "Then tell me what is the best way, in more detail."

Shen Zhehan was stunned. He didn't expect the old man to ask him back. He went to the company these days, but because he had other things to do, he just took a look around and left.

He really didn't know what important and specific things would happen this week.

He rolled his eyes and explained quickly, "Grandfather, isn't there Brother Zheming here at the head office? I trust him very much."

"Oh, you trust him very much." Old Master Shen asked indifferently.

"Yes."

"What do you think of Zhe Ming?"

Shen Zhehan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. He never thought that his grandfather would ask him such a question. How should he answer?

Thinking of Shen Zheming's recent attitude and Old Master Shen's behavior, he was shocked and frowned, saying, "Zheming is very smart, but he is frivolous, a little impetuous, and has very poor self-control..."

"Oh, Zheming is such a person."

"Yes, Zheming is indeed like that, but I will teach him slowly."

Shen Zhehan felt cold sweat on his back. There was something wrong with the old man today.

His attitude made him feel uneasy and uncertain.

"But didn't you just say that you were very confident in him? How can you be confident in him with so many shortcomings?" The old man asked word by word with a calm expression.

"I……"

Shen Zhehan was choked and didn't know how to answer.

Old Master Shen, who had calmed down, couldn't help getting angry again. He grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it hard at Shen Zhehan. Shen Zhehan was quick and dodged it, but he was still scared.

The old man pointed at Shen Zhehan and cursed, "You useless piece of shit, what did I teach you from childhood to adulthood? I taught you to speak illogically, I taught you to make a small treasury for yourself, I taught you to spend money on wine and women outside, I taught you to watch the company go bankrupt and be indifferent? Let me ask you, did I teach you all these?"

Shen Zhehan didn't dare to say a word after being scolded.

But his face was also flushed. After all, he was already forty years old and was scolded by his grandfather like this. He felt very embarrassed, especially in front of Uncle Shen. He lowered his head slightly and his face did not look good at all.

"Shen Zhehan, let me ask you, have I taught you this? Don't argue with me, you know me, as long as I tell you, there is evidence."

Shen Zhehan stood in front of the desk, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Grandfather, I know you treat me the best and have spent a lot of effort on me. I have disappointed you. I am sorry. I will definitely correct it in the future."

"Correct it. You are already 40 years old. You tell me to correct it every day. When will you correct it? Will you correct it until you are buried in peace?"

"Grandfather, please don't be angry. If you get angry and make yourself sick, my father and mother will not let me off."

Old Master Shen sneered, "Maybe you all hope that I will die soon so that I can make room for you, right?"

Old Master Shen believed that if he were really gone now, the Shen family's assets might be taken over by someone else in a year.

Old Master Shen glanced at Shen Zhehan and was really disappointed. He still didn't know where his problem lay.

How should he teach so that he can understand?

This is his failure. He didn't teach him well.

Thinking of this, Old Master Shen suddenly felt bored.

He waved his hand and said, "If you still acknowledge me as your grandfather, stop all your stupid behavior now."

Shen Zhehan's eyes flashed.

He was not the only one who did this in the company. Wasn't his second uncle the same? If he didn't do this, all the money would be taken away by his second uncle, and his whole family would have nothing to eat or drink.

But he didn't dare to refute the old man, and nodded honestly and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."

"This is not the first time I've heard you say this, but Zhehan, let me tell you, this is the last time I'll hear it. If you still can't shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the Shen family, the Shen family precepts will have to be revised."

The Shen family's ancestral precept is that the head of the Shen family can only be the eldest son.

This was also the rule established in the past.

After all, at a certain period in the past, the Shen family had many outstanding children. It was really difficult to choose the best ones from them, and it would also cause brothers to kill each other.

Then let’s just make a strict rule.

The others gave up.

After hearing this, Shen Zhehan realized the seriousness of the problem. The old man didn't want to follow the ancestral precepts, so he panicked.

He didn't care about his second uncle and cousin all these years, wasn't it because he had this support? If this support was gone, what would he use to fight the old fox and the little fox? He knelt on the ground with a plop, raised his hand and swore, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you in the future, and never make you angry or disappointed again."

Old Master Shen stared at Shen Zhehan who was kneeling on the ground.

After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "I will trust you for once."

Even if he was given another chance, he would not want to break the ancestral teachings.

If Shen Zhehan doesn't let him down, he can still help him for another ten years. Ten years later, Shen Zhehan's son will be fifteen years old and by then he will be able to work with his father.

He also hoped that he could live another ten years, otherwise, how would he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Shen family?

Shen Zhehan swore and said a lot of nice things until Old Master Shen's face looked better. Only then did he leave in a sweat.

Uncle Shen saw that Old Master Shen was still in a bad mood, so he advised in a low voice, "Old Master, no matter what, Zhehan is a filial child. I think his youngest son is not bad either. If he is trained well, he can take over Zhehan's job."

Old Master Shen shook his head slightly. "It's been too long. You should know from following me that times are different now. Some old rules no longer exist. A family business like ours will be swallowed up by others if we are not careful."

"Old Master, can we recruit some talents from outside?"

Old Master Shen nodded, "I've thought about it too. Now that we are the ones in charge, this has both advantages and disadvantages. How about this, you ask your eldest son to write a plan, and then call a few elders to hold a meeting to discuss this matter some other day."

Uncle Shen is also a member of the Shen family.
