After observing for a while, Yang Kai finally understood what his daughter, who had graduated more than a year ago, was busy with, even though she was never around.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry. Yang Kai has always been generous to his children and wife, providing them with ample living expenses and always fulfilling their requests.
However, he himself was not born into a wealthy family; he grew up in an ordinary life and got to where he is today through hard work and luck.
So while I'm used to a luxurious lifestyle, I don't pursue it blindly. Unexpectedly, my children have almost made it their profession.
Yang Kai discovered that the more exaggerated and outrageous these people's words were on the internet, the more popular they seemed to be on the online platform.
The popularity and adulation surrounding these socialites, including Yang Xishu, seemed to have found a new source of enjoyment in their lives, despite their emptiness.
That's true. What's the point of eating well or dressing expensively if no one sees it or envies you?
So the more she flaunts herself, the more fans she gets. And the more fans she gets, the more she flaunts herself without stopping.
Yang Kai began to regret that he had focused on his work in previous years and neglected to set strict requirements for his children.
Mrs. Zhang Lu herself does not have a high level of education, so it is already not easy for her to treat the children born to different mothers equally as much as possible.
She had neither the ability nor the inclination to properly raise these children.
Moreover, even if one has the ability to raise other people's children to be outstanding and excellent so that they can inherit the chairman's position in the future, what about one's own children?
There is probably no stepmother in the world who is this great.
Since he himself hadn't managed his child well, Yang Kai couldn't really blame others.
However, after realizing the seriousness of the problem, he changed from a "kind father" who would give money to anyone who asked for it to a strict father who "approved everything".
Despite the children's complaints, the whole family was very clear about one thing: who was in charge of the family and who had absolute say.
Therefore, they never dared to challenge Yang Kai's authority. Despite their dissatisfaction and infighting, they all tried to behave like cats in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Xile was an exception. He sometimes dared to speak his mind and criticize his father, something none of his older siblings would dare to do.
Perhaps it was because he was the youngest son, or perhaps it was because Yang Kai had always considered him a lucky star, so even when his son sometimes complained about him, Yang Kai didn't get angry. At most, he would just say, "You're being unruly again," and that was it. The relationship between the father and son was both intimate and relaxed.
Yang Kai adored his youngest son, not only because the boy had unexpectedly saved his life before he was even born, but also because, like Uncle Zhai, he recognized that the child had many traits that resembled his own.
People are all very narcissistic, let alone Yang Kai, who has built such a large career.
Of all the children, he looked at them from left to right and felt that Yang Xile resembled him the most, followed by his eldest daughter Yang Xilin.
But Yang Xilin is a girl after all, and she will get married sooner or later. If she takes over the group, won't it all benefit her son-in-law in the future?
Although Yang Kai has achieved great success in his career, he remains stubbornly entrenched in feudalistic ideas.
He would certainly choose a suitable future husband for his daughter, but it's hard to say whether the Xiangyu Group will belong to his family or someone else's in the future, precisely because the other party also has comparable wealth and power.
If we choose a poor young man, that would be absolutely impossible. Who knows what his motives or what kind of thoughts he might have when he approaches my daughter?
When a poor person suddenly becomes rich, their moral standards may be harder to control once they have enormous wealth.
In his more than 30 years of entrepreneurial career, he has seen many ungrateful people like Chen Shimei.
So Yang Kai thought it over and over and still felt that his son was reliable. Even if he wasn't very successful, at least his life's hard work wouldn't be wasted on outsiders.
As long as the eldest son doesn't squander the family fortune, and we don't expect him to create something new, as long as he can maintain the current empire, his life's work will have been worthwhile. If it's the youngest son, he might actually be able to build an even bigger business.
However, Yang Xile is too young now and seems to be very playful and unpredictable. Sometimes when you talk to him, he seems to not care at all and only knows how to play and have fun.
Therefore, Yang Kai couldn't predict the future of this child. He was indeed smart, but he also couldn't be too naive. After all, the business world is like a battlefield, even if you don't see the bloodshed. The result can still be bloodshed.
When he learned that Yang Xile had returned to China and that the first person he met after spending a day at home was his secretary, he felt a strange sensation.
He knew that Yang Xile and Zhai Di were close because of games, and that his son had known him, his secretary, since elementary school.
He had never thought much about it before, but after his son returned to China, he met with Zhai Di. It couldn't be because he was in a hurry to play a game with him, could it?
When he sent Yang Xile to France to study at a business school, his three eldest children had already begun to secretly compete with each other, especially his eldest son and eldest daughter, who had even started to make their own confidants in the company, trying to build their own power.
That's why he announced a major decision at home at that time: the children would all leave the company and start their own businesses.
At the time, the plan was only for the three adult children. After hearing about it, Yang Xile asked his father for money: "Dad, give me another ten million. I can start a business in France while studying."
Yang Kai asked, "How do you plan to start your business? Will you start by wholesaling small commodities in Yiwu and then set up a street stall near your school?"
Yang Xi laughed: "Haha, Dad, you really are a great entrepreneur, you guessed it right away?"
