As Wen Xinya expected, although Chu Jingnan was unable to return to his ancestral home with his 4% stake, he quickly gained a foothold in the Xiao Group, made friends with the directors and shareholders, and thrived in the Xiao Group.
No one knew what means he used, but he quickly built up some connections in the Xiao Group and gained recognition and support from some directors and shareholders, which surprised Xiao Zhiyuan and Old Man Xiao.
The long silence and heavy atmosphere in the ward made it almost hard to breathe.
Xiao Zhiyuan sat in front of the hospital bed with his head down and his hands clenched into fists, as if he was enduring something.
Old Master Xiao leaned on the hospital bed, his cloudy eyes were dim and dull. He moved his lips: "Now it seems that Cheng Yu's death must have been planned by Chu Jingnan. His target is the Xiao family and even the Xiao Group."
After saying this, Mr. Xiao suddenly lost his breath and lay on the hospital bed, breathing barely a thread, as if he might die at any time.
The Xiao family's legitimate bloodline and hope for the future were actually destroyed in the hands of an ambitious illegitimate son. This was a huge blow to Mr. Xiao.
What’s even more hateful is that the bastard who harmed Cheng Yu actually had ambitions to seize the Xiao family and acted arrogantly within the Xiao Group.
"Cough cough—" Old Master Xiao started coughing heavily.
“Dad…” Xiao Zhiyuan shouted in a trembling voice. Looking at his aged and old father, he felt almost ashamed.
It was his fault that the Xiao family ended up in this situation today.
The absurdity of his youth eventually made him taste the bitter fruit. Over the years, his wife left him and his father and son were separated. It was not enough that he accidentally gave birth to such an evil child, which eventually caused the Xiao family to be almost destroyed.
"Cough, cough—" Old Master Xiao coughed heart-wrenchingly, and then a pool of black and red dirty blood appeared in the white handkerchief and spread on the silk cloth.
Xiao Zhiyuan was horrified to the extreme, and screamed miserably: "Dad, are you okay? I... I'll go call a doctor..."
He didn't expect that his father would vomit blood.
Over the years, his father had planned everything for the Xiao family and for him, as if no matter what happened, he could not be defeated. In his heart, his father was as unshakable as a mountain, standing in front of him, and able to shield him from all wind and rain. Now his father seemed to have collapsed in front of him.
At this moment, he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
After coughing, Mr. Xiao felt better. His face was as pale as paper, and he said weakly, "It's okay. I won't die!"
The Xiao family is in danger, and Cheng Yu's revenge has not yet been avenged. Even if he grits his teeth, he will hold on until his last breath.
Xiao Zhiyuan knelt down in front of Mr. Xiao with a plop: "Dad, this is all my fault. I'm sorry to you, to Chan'er, to Chengyu, to all the ancestors of the Xiao family. I deserve to die..."
Mr. Xiao panted heavily and shouted sternly: “Get up!”
Xiao Zhiyuan cried heartbreakingly. The heavy depression and suppressed pain in his heart for days finally burst out: "It's all my fault, God... Why do you have to pay with my son's life..."
Mr. Xiao's cloudy eyes were red: "You... get up!"
After saying that, he started coughing heavily again.
How could Xiao Zhiyuan dare to disobey? He got up from the ground in a panic, and hurried over to support Old Man Xiao and smooth his vest.
After a while, Mr. Xiao calmed down his cough and said, "The Xiao family deserves this disaster. What's the point of complaining and feeling regretful? If you still have some courage, you should cheer up and find a way to avenge Cheng Yu."
After he finished speaking, his breath became weaker.
Xiao Zhiyuan stood in front of the bed in a daze, and old man Xiao's words exploded in his mind like thunder.
Old Master Xiao stared at him coldly: "Are you awake?"
Looking at his spineless son, it was impossible for Mr. Xiao to say that he was not disappointed.
The more this happened, the more he thought about Cheng Yu's intelligence and talent.
Xiao Zhiyuan lowered his head in shame, then raised it again, his face still full of sorrow, but his eyes were much clearer: "Son, you are disappointed."
Even though his father is so seriously ill, he still has to make plans for the Xiao family with all his heart.
On the other hand, he was immersed in regret and unable to extricate himself. The Xiao family can only rely on him now.
Old Master Xiao felt relieved. Although his son was not very talented, he had a clear mind. "Chu Jingnan was blatantly trying to seize the Xiao family. There must be someone secretly supporting him. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We cannot defeat him."
Mr. Xiao lived for more than eighty years.
Both his mind and brain are incomparable to ordinary people.
Chu Jingnan wanted to seize the Xiao Group with only 4% of the shares, which was simply a pipe dream. However, he was scheming and planned to get rid of Cheng Yu first, and then stepped in when the Xiao family was in crisis. He calculated that the Xiao family would never give up his shares in a crisis.
Step by step, with careful calculations, one must have bargaining chips to achieve this.
Xiao Zhiyuan said unwillingly, "Are we just going to let him devour the Xiao Group bit by bit?"
These days, he watched coldly as Chu Jingnan began to devour the Xiao Group, and his inner anxiety reached the extreme.
Old Master Xiao said coldly: "Does Chu Jingnan think that the shareholders in the shareholders' meeting are easy to deal with? Let them fight. No matter who wins or loses, the result is the same for us."
Chu Jingnan is ambitious and intends to seize the Xiao Group.
Aren’t those blood-sucking bugs in the shareholders’ meeting deliberately trying to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Xiao family
They just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.
Xiao Zhiyuan understood what he meant and said hesitantly, "If this happens, I'm afraid the foundation of the Xiao Group will be lost."
That was the foundation that dad worked so hard to build!
Cheng Yu even lost his life for the Xiao Group. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Old Master Xiao said sternly: "You are so stupid. Xiao Group has come to this point. Do you think there is still a way out? As long as the blood-sucking worms in the board of directors are controlled, the Xiao family will have that day sooner or later..." After that, he said bitterly: "It's my fault. I was short-sighted and didn't listen to Cheng Yu. Otherwise..."
Even though the Xiao family suffered heavy losses, at least they were able to preserve their foundation. It was only a matter of time before they made a comeback.
Cheng Yu would not have died under Chu Jingnan's scheme.
Xiao Zhiyuan understood what he meant: "Father, what should we do next?"
Chu Jingnan and the shareholders are fighting to the death, and the Xiao family cannot sit idly by.
"Fully support Chu Jingnan to take the position of president."
After Cheng Yu's death, the Xiao Group has been fighting for the position of president, and it has not been decided yet. Now it is just right to let Chu Jingnan take the position.
