During the phone call, the expressions on the faces of the elders were incredibly varied.
Xie Zhendong, however, did not notice the expressions of these people; his mind was entirely focused on arguing with his second uncle.
However, the second uncle wouldn't listen at all, and even called out his other cousins.
“If it was Ziyuan who instructed you, then you should hand it over to Zhenxi. I think Zhenxi is a promising talent.”
My second uncle was adamant and wouldn't tolerate anyone refusing him.
The other elders in the clan offered a few words of advice, but seeing that they couldn't persuade him, they didn't say anything more.
Xie Ziyuan was about to be pushed into the position of Xie family heir by everyone. If she were obedient and well-behaved, it would be fine, but judging from today's events, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious.
They had to test Xie Ziyuan's attitude to make sure she didn't get too carried away and start disregarding them, her elders.
Dealing with Xie Zhendong is not a big deal, but if Xie Ziyuan can't even tolerate this, then they really need to consider whether Xie Ziyuan can bring them the best benefits.
The group exchanged glances, but before they could say anything, their phones rang again.
The second uncle was somewhat displeased. He answered the phone and scolded his grandson who was calling: "Why are you calling again? Is there something wrong with the Huo family this time?"
He's so old, have Zhao Linxiang and Huo Yuntang ever shown him even the most basic respect? They're always tormenting this old man, using threats and inducements, do they really think he has no temper?
"No, Grandpa." On the other end of the phone was his most successful grandson, who on the surface had fallen out with the family and started his own business, but in reality, with his transfer of benefits over the years, that small pharmaceutical company had become increasingly prosperous.
The second great-uncle even fantasized that one day his grandson's company would surpass Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group, at which point he would no longer need to be beholden to Xie Buyun.
The grandson's voice was a little hoarse: "Our company is under investigation..."
After hearing this, the second uncle's expression changed slightly. He walked more nimbly and almost wanted to throw away his cane.
"Go home, hurry home!" He walked briskly towards his car, his heart pounding in his chest.
Their company has been stealing the drug formulas from Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group. Their products are of good quality, and because they don't have to pay for research and development, they can keep the prices very low, which is why they've made a fortune.
Now, the police suspect that their small company is involved in counterfeiting and selling fake goods and tax evasion, and the financial director has been detained.
It was a surprise inspection; they didn't even have time to destroy the evidence. This is a huge problem!
Not only the second uncle's family, but other families also encountered various problems, causing everyone to turn pale with fear.
They came in all high and mighty, but now they're all leaving in a panic, looking utterly pathetic.

Grandpa Xie looked out the window at the scene outside, his gaze falling on Luo Zhihan.
Luo Zhihan said frankly, "I'm sorry, these people bullied Lili, I was just retaliating."
Old Master Xie's eyes were full of insight. "They brought it on themselves."
If these people were honest and upright, why would they have to face these troubles?
Although it was their first meeting, it wasn't their first conversation. Grandpa Xie felt that Luo Zhihan's temperament suited his taste.
—At the very least, he's hundreds of miles ahead of that self-important Pei Si. Such a person is probably barely a good match for his precious granddaughter.
But now is not the time to worry about these things. Tonight is the family reunion banquet that he specially arranged for Xie Li, so he has to be on his toes and prepare for the banquet.
Grandpa Xie didn't say anything more and turned to pack up.
