Hearing his son's words, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but feel very satisfied and pleased.
The only thing that brings him some comfort now is his obedient and sensible son.
He believed that with proper training, the Zhao Group could grow stronger and achieve even greater success with the support of other influential figures.
However, the most difficult task now is to eliminate the threat posed by the Zhao family in the capital.
Therefore, the only solution he could think of was to establish closer ties with the few bigwigs he knew.
Otherwise, trying to confront the capital is simply wishful thinking; they don't have the ability.
Although the Zhao family's influence in Shanghai isn't particularly strong, they are one of the most powerful figures in the upper echelons, so there are ways to take them down.
They just need to use some tricks and effort.
Moreover, what Zhao Guohua fears most is not the capital, but the rising power of Zhao Chen.
This young man is simply unreasonable. Ever since he betrayed his family, his luck has been soaring like a rocket.
Now, they've become so powerful that they can easily influence the Zhao Group.
Therefore, coupled with Zhao Chen's hatred for their family, this kid is the real threat to Zhao Guohua's family.
However, now that his son is so promising and sensible, Zhao Guohua suppressed his resentment for the time being and spoke to his son gently:
“Our Tianqi is so much better. You definitely weren’t properly trained back in the capital.”
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be so clueless. Don't worry, Dad will teach you everything I know."
"At the same time, it will make the entire group listen to you."
"I believe that under your leadership, our Zhao family will surely have a brighter future."
The remaining sisters, upon hearing their father's words, couldn't help but turn their heads away, unable to bear looking.
To be honest, after spending some time together, the Zhao sisters could already see through it.
This Zhao Tianqi is also an incompetent and ignorant fellow.
They're not even as good as Zhao Ziyun, who's always been sickly.
Zhao Ziyun has been out of action lately and dares not make any further moves.
What he fears most is that his parents will abandon him and forget his role as a substitute.
After having her own son, she kicked him, the substitute, aside.
Although they haven't kicked him out yet, they're basically ignoring his existence.
Fortunately, his older sisters did not diminish their affection for him much.
Especially after they had completely offended Zhao Chen, they began to treat their younger brother better.
Most importantly, Zhao Tianqi was unpopular, so much so that even though Zhao Ziyun didn't do anything, these older sisters thought he was the better one, and therefore treated him even better.
From this perspective, Zhao Ziyun should thank this good older brother.
However, he was really unwilling to see yet another genuine product return.
From then on, the counterfeit product became even more fake.
Anyway, things were getting worse day by day, and things were in chaos at the Zhao family's place.
However, what frustrated Zhao Guohua even more was the sudden news of a change in shareholding, and what terrified him was that his eldest daughter had sold her shares to Zhao Chen, their family's arch-enemy!
After this series of share transfers, Zhao Chen actually became the largest shareholder of the Zhao Group, and even had veto power!
Zhao Guohua was the last to find out.
As a listed company, a series of shareholder changes should be clearly announced.
Zhao Chen's previous operations were all quite secretive, and at the same time, many shareholders had private transactions with him.
Of course, when the Zhao Group's stock price was at its lowest, he bought up large amounts of shares at low prices.
In this way, he naturally became the largest shareholder of the Zhao Group.
This undoubtedly caused a stir among countless people.
Because Zhao Chen already controls quite a few industries.
When some investors learned that this was a newly emerging capital tycoon who owned many unique internet companies, they actually felt that this was a good thing.
It even boosted the stock price of the Zhao Group.
However, for Zhao Guohua's family, this was a devastating disaster.
Because the Zhao Group, which they built themselves, was essentially a wedding dress made for Zhao Chen, which they handed over to him without any effort.
Now, they own very few shares...
Zhao Guohua transferred a large number of shares to Zhao Siyu for some special operations.
Now, I never expected to be betrayed by this eldest daughter...
He was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, causing another flurry of activity for Zhao Guohua's family.
At that moment, they couldn't care less about anything else; they just had to get Zhao Guohua to the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chen was making a fortune with a flick of his wrist, and the Zhao family in the capital welcomed back a family member who hadn't returned for a long time.
Zhao Lixuan really went home, apologized to the old man, and confessed her past mistakes. She also cut off all contact with Zhao Tianqi, becoming strangers to him from then on.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Zhao Chen is my real son."
"I've already met with Zhao Chen in Shanghai."
“I realized how ridiculous I had been, treating a fake as a treasure and my own son as trash.”
"I was really wrong, and Zhao Chen is still unwilling to forgive me."
“But I pray that I can get forgiveness from my father and brother, and from my husband, Feng Junhua.”
"I feel sorry for all the years of your dedication, but I really know where I went wrong."
"Now I want to turn back before it's too late and return to the Zhao family's embrace."
"Of course, I don't expect you to accept me right away."
"But I will change myself, and I also hope that you can help me get Zhao Chen to accept me. He is my good son!"
Upon hearing Zhao Lixuan's confession, the old man finally smiled.
His daughter, whom he had spoiled since childhood, has finally come to her senses.
In the past, Zhao Lixuan seemed to be under a spell, constantly fixated on that good-for-nothing Zhao Tianqi.
Now I finally understand what true closeness and distance really mean.
This greatly pleased him.
However, he was still worried that Zhao Lixuan might be acting in order to gain the Zhao family's sympathy.
Thus, they regained their former wealth and honor.
Old Master Zhao simply nodded:
"Okay, I think it's a good thing that you have this idea."
"A good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them."
"However, I can't influence Zhao Chen's affairs in that area; you'll have to fight for it yourself."
“He grew up alone. As his mother, you need to make him feel your love and your sincerity before he will accept you.”
