Chapter 1357: How Is That Possible

Shi Gen was also incomparably shocked in his heart, but after thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his face. “It seems that your stepfather, Duke Eton, must’ve been worried sick about you, this adopted daughter of his! He must’ve invested in Tianheng Holdings for you, right?”

“Elder Shi, you have no idea how wrong what you said is. Even if Duke Eton invested in it, all the kudos go to Nuannuan to be able to develop it into 55 superstores in Camino,” Zeng Wenyi was displeased with Shi Gen and retorted him immediately.

Nangong Nuannuan smiled and said, “I threw my own money into Tianheng Holdings. My father didn’t pay for it.”

Shi Gen laughed. “I don’t believe you.”

“There’s nothing I can do even if Grandfather Shi doesn’t believe me. Indeed, for normal people, being able to inherit the family business and bring it to greater heights is already very impressive.”

After saying that, Nuannuan stopped talking.

After all, how would a frog in a well know how big the world was?

Would a swallow know the ambition of a swan?

It was useless to say certain things.

After Bai Liyue settled into her rest, Aiden, Selina, and Dan Qi came down from upstairs.

Due to the fact that they had not seen Aiden and the others earlier, everyone in the living room noticed their entry the moment they walked down the stairs.

“Grandpa Nangong, Grandpa Chi!”

Nuannuan’s three companions had always been sweet-tongued. They would greet anyone the moment they saw them.

The people who came to the Chi residence today were all top-notch figures in Camino. Although most of them were not from the business world but from the political and military worlds, those who were at the top of the hierarchy were usually more involved in social matters.

Hence, everyone was surprised to see Aiden.

“You… you’re Mr. Aiden? The vice-president of Tianheng Holdings?”

Aiden grinned. After Grandpa Nangong introduced him to everyone, he politely greeted the guests.

Taking advantage of the fact that Aiden had just come down, Shi Yalin asked, “Mr. Aiden, the chairman of Tianheng Holdings has always been an enigma. Since we’ve met you today, can you tell us who the chairman of Tianheng Holdings is?”

“Huh?”

Aiden was dumbfounded. “Didn’t Duke Eton mention this during the auction? I thought it was no longer a secret.”

“I see. So, the chairman is Duke Eton!” Shi Yalin said proudly, as though she won a race. She looked at Nangong Nuannuan provocatively, waiting for her reply.

It was Aiden who responded, “The chairman of the Tianheng Holdings is our Big Boss, Nuannuan! Duke Eton has some shares in the company, but he only has 5%. Not to mention that 5% is a gift from Nuannuan to him out of filial piety.”

Shi Gen, “…”

Everyone, “…”

Shi Yalin said, “How’s that possible? Tianheng Holdings ventured into Camino five years ago. Miss Nangong was still in primary school five years ago, right?”

Nuannuan’s companions could tell that the woman was not on good terms with their boss. Selina said coldly, “Why are you comparing our Nuannuan to someone as ordinary as you? Our Nuannuan started buying mines and mining bedrocks all over the world when she was nine years old. She established her own company after successfully accumulating her initial capital before reaching the age of ten. Then, she started expanding her capital at the age of twelve. Otherwise, why do you think the Luntanese royal family included us in the royal genealogy book? We’re orphans. Without absolute economic power, we’re just our father’s daughters.”

Selina had made her point very clear. Although everyone found such a valiant life unbelievable, it was easy to find out if the royal family had truly included their names in the genealogy book. There was no reason for Selina to lie to them.
