“But there’s no point for you to keep the shares!” Leng Jinjie and Leng Jinchen exclaimed in unison.
Leng Jinpeng and Leng Qirui both burst into angry laughter.
Only then did Leng Qirui end the mobile game that he kept fiddling with his hands and stared at the people opposite him attentively.
“My dear aunts, do you think I’m dead? Since Second Aunt is coincidentally here today as well, you should tell the shareholders that we’ll be having a board meeting tomorrow.”
“What?” Before Leng Jinjie and Leng Jinchen could fully comprehend what Leng Qirui just said, their bunch of children of the same generation were even more confused.
This…
Could it be that this devil incarnate wanted to be the chairman?
“Lil Rui, the Leng family is already so chaotic. Don’t cause trouble here,” Leng Jinjie said unhappily.
Leng Jinchen also added hastily, “Who else knows your personality better than us? You’re only 18 now, and you haven’t even gone to university yet. You definitely won’t be able to run Leng Group properly. Let’s just start with your personality—will you be able to tolerate going to work in the office every day? You’ll probably go crazy, no?”
Leng Qirui laughed coldly. “That’s right. Initially, I didn’t want to hold the fort, much less take over the Leng family’s mess. However, what other choice do I have? Both First Aunt and Second Aunt seem to be hoping that Grandpa won’t wake up and for my father to die. That way, you can have more shares.
“Family ties are already a concept that’s so brittle for you. How can I expect you to treat me well if something happens to my father? What right do I have to continue living a carefree life like this? So, I’ve decided to shoulder the responsibility that a legitimate paternal grandson should and take over Leng Group. So, Second Aunt, please inform everyone that I have new announcements to make to the board of directors tomorrow.”
Leng Jinjie and Leng Jinchen never expected that anyone from Leng Jinpeng’s family would interfere. Thus, they treated Leng Jinpeng still quite amicably. They wanted to please him and persuade him to give up his shares.
Yet now, Leng Qirui gave them such an unexpected surprise. How could these two aunts accept this?
“Impossible!” Leng Jinjie shouted. “With your personality, our Leng family will go bankrupt in less than a year. I won’t agree to this!”
Leng Jinjie also joined hands with Leng Jinchen on this. She knew that Leng Qirui was a stubborn mule, so it was useless for them to say anything. She looked at Leng Jinpeng with a pained expression. “Big Brother, Leng Group is the blood, sweat, and tears of our grandparents. Four generations of the Leng family poured in all they had to achieve what we have today. Even if you don’t have good health and you’re about to die, you don’t have to push the Leng family into the fire pit, you know? Now that my parents are still unconscious and you won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor anymore…”
“So? Why shouldn’t I let my son take over what should have been mine?” Leng Jinpeng’s cold voice resonated in the room and the atmosphere lapsed into silence for a few seconds.
“Eldest Uncle, you should know Lil Rui’s personality best. Let me ask you, what right does he have to be in charge of Leng Group when he has always scored last in his examinations?”
Pei Jiaxiang could not take it anymore and questioned him. Leng Qifeng and Leng Yutong nodded their heads in agreement.
“If you want to talk about qualifications, I’ll tell you what it means to be qualified,” Leng Qirui replied.
He still acted sleazily the way he used to. Now that his hands and feet were covered in plaster, he looked like a rebel who lost his armor. No matter how others looked at him, he did not carry himself with the dignity of a respectable person.
