Faced with the old lady's scolding, Dong Xinhao didn't dare to say a word more. He sat next to the old lady, massaged her shoulders, and apologized.
"Auntie, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline these two children properly. Their mother passed away early, and I was busy taking care of business, so I neglected them. I will definitely discipline them properly in the future!"
He always uses this trick, and the old lady of the Dong family is used to it. Normally, she would just turn a blind eye.
In recent days, the Dong Group has encountered significant financial problems, and coupled with the disgraceful incident involving Dong Xinhao's son, the Dong Group has suffered considerable damage to its reputation and finances.
She went to great lengths to appease the resentment of the group's long-time shareholders, which is why she was so angry with Dong Xinhao.
“Xinhao, it’s not just about disciplining them, you also need to be more ambitious. There aren’t many capable people left in the Dong Group. The old men under your uncle have all retired, and the new young people are very ambitious. If you don’t work hard, your aunt won’t be able to protect you anymore.”
She has done so much for the group over the years and laid so much groundwork for Dong Xinhao; she is exhausted, both physically and mentally.
It's just a pity that her son and she had such a bad falling out that he never came back to see her.
Dong Xinhui was originally the most promising person to inherit the Dong Group, but he only had his mind on making movies, and the development of his other businesses was all for the purpose of investing in his movies.
The old lady of the Dong family was very troubled by this.
"I understand, Auntie. I will change." Dong Xinhao said this on the surface, but in his heart he thought, with the old lady as a big tree to support him, why should he work so hard?
He had already planned it out: once the old lady was on her deathbed, he would hold onto the shares of the Dong Group and refuse to let go of them, determined not to give them to Dong Xinhui.

After descending the mountain, it was already past 5 PM. Lu Qing suggested going for hot pot, so the group took a taxi straight to the nearest hot pot restaurant.
On set, Dong Xinhui had almost finished his work and checked his phone to see several missed calls, the most of which were from Dong Wenyu.
He suddenly had a bad feeling and called the hotel staff, only to find out that his niece had been bullied.
I hurriedly called Ye Zhizhou.
"Xiao Zhou, are you alright? It's all my fault for arranging that hotel for you. Don't mind Dong Wenyu, I'll arrange another hotel for you tonight!"
Ye Zhizhou felt a warmth in his heart. "Uncle, there's really no need to change hotels. We're very comfortable here."
Dong Xinhui felt a lump in his throat, thinking that his niece never came to him to cry when she was wronged, which showed that she was used to being strong.
"In that case, we won't move. I'll have someone block Dong Wenyu; she won't be allowed to go in."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xinhui swiftly gave the orders.
"Sister Zhou, your uncle spoils you so much, I'm so envious."
Lu Qing took a sip of her herbal tea and sighed.
Ye Zhizhou smiled but didn't say anything.
In the evening, after finishing their hot pot meal, the group returned to the hotel. It was almost nine o'clock, and the sky was completely dark.
Ye Zhizhou and Lin Qiqi returned to their room and lay on the soft bed, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Ah! There's a mouse!"
Ye Zhizhou sat up, about to call his family to let them know he was safe, when he heard Lin Qiqi's scream and immediately got up.
Where?
Lin Qiqi curled up at the head of the bed with a look of terror on her face and pointed under the chair.
Ye Zhizhou walked over and saw several small mice.
"Xiao Zhou, aren't you afraid of mice?"
