Jixuan was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Xun’s call. He immediately picked it up and couldn’t hide his excitement. “Sister!”
“What happened to you? Speak!” Jiang Xun said with a frown.
The cameraman was speechless.
Is this how you usually talk to Jixuan?
The cameraman instantly imagined Jixuan to be an obedient little sheep.
“I…” Jixuan hesitated.
“If you can call me when I’m filming, then there must be something.” Jiang Xun said, “Go on, I’m listening. If you don’t tell me, I’ll come to you.”
Jixuan was afraid of disturbing Jiang Xun’s filming. Hearing Jiang Xun’s words, he quickly said, “I’ll tell you.”
“That’s right, if you have something to say in the future, just say it quickly!” Jiang Xun said, “Didn’t Jiang Chengye bring you to the company for an internship recently? It’s obvious that he’s training you as his successor.”
“Even though Jiang Chengye isn’t a great person, the company is still doing well. Although it’s not to the extent that he’ll let you take over the company in the next few years, since you’re starting to learn now, you have to be decisive. Don’t hesitate and delay. Weren’t you quite ruthless when you first met me?”
After hearing what Jiang Xun said, the images of Nianzhen’s expressions in Jixuan’s mind faded.
The memory in her mind was replaced by the day he first met Jiang Xun.
He thought of the first night he met Jiang Xun. He had challenged Jiang Xun without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and ended up being pressed against the wall by her.
Thinking of this, Jixuan blushed and scratched his head, stammering, “Sister, let’s… Let’s not talk about that…”
“So, what’s going on?” Jiang Xun asked.
“It’s my mom. She just came to the company to look for dad and asked dad to give my sister… give Jiang Yuexi 10% of the company’s shares.” Jixuan said dejectedly, “She has never thought about how many shares my father owns and how much will be left after he gives them to Jiang Yuexi. What about me?”
“Dad asked her if she had ever thought about me. She said that the Jiang family will be mine in the future, so there wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t have this 10%.” Jixuan scratched his head and said, “I don’t know if I’m feeling bad or if I’m being a little stingy. After all, Jiang Yuexi is my sister. However, I also think that my mom must know what this 10% means to dad, me, and the company.”
“She always said that the Jiang family will be mine in the future. It’s because every time she says that, I feel that it’s only right for me to fight for my sister’s interests. I should understand and be indifferent to it. You can’t just ignore the current me just because I’ll be the one to inherit the business in the future.”
“After all, even if I inherit the business in the future, I can’t leave my sister alone. Does she think I’ll let her suffer?” Jixuan said, perplexed, “I don’t know how to express my feelings clearly. I just feel that…”
“I think Feng Nianzhen loves your sister more. She only thinks that you can inherit the business in the future, so she doesn’t need to care about anything. She also thinks that you can take care of her in the future.” Jiang Xun hit the nail on the head.
Jixuan was speechless.
Jixuan hesitated for a long time before he had to admit it. “Yes.”
Actually, it wasn’t that he didn’t know, nor that he didn’t know how to say it.
He just didn’t want to admit it, as if he could pretend that the truth didn’t exist if he didn’t say it.
“Do you believe me? Do you believe that I’m not badmouthing Feng Nianzhen in front of you to drive a wedge between you and her because I hate her?” Jiang Xun asked.
If Jixuan believed her, then she would have a good talk with him.
However, if he didn’t believe it, then forget it.
Jixuan thought for a while and said, “I believe you. In fact, you’ve never hidden your feelings for my mother. But you have never said anything bad about them in front of me. If I didn’t believe you, I wouldn’t have called you.”
Jiang Xun nodded and said, “You’re not overthinking it. You’re not a petty person. As you said, you’ve never wronged Feng Nianzhen and Jiang Yuexi. You’ve never said anything about what Feng Nianzhen gave to Jiang Yuexi and not you. Feng Nianzhen always thought that you would inherit the Jiang family in the future, so it’s fine to give these things to your sister, and you won’t be not losing anything.”
“But has she ever thought that what she’s giving Jiang Yuexi now is also a part of the Jiang family’s inheritance? But she given it to Jiang Yuexi in advance.” Jiang Xun said, “Feng Nianzhen is such a calculative person. How could she not have thought of this? She just didn’t tell you. She kept saying that you’ll inherit the Jiang family and the business in the future to brainwash you.”
“It’s like parents and elders telling their children to sacrifice a bit because they’re good at their studies, good at their work, capable, and well-earned. They won’t be giving these to you. They’ll give them all to your siblings instead.”
“However, you have a good job, you are capable, and you earn a lot. All of this is earned through your hard work and your own efforts. Why do you have to suffer at home and give your share to your other siblings because of this?”
“Of course, your situation isn’t completely similar to this,” Jiang Xun said. “But Jiang Yuexi has no intention and no ability to manage Chengye Group. Her heart is in the entertainment industry and she’s not interested in Chengye Group, so the important management will be left to you. However, how many shares does Jiang Chengye have? How much would be left after taking out ten percent? I’m afraid it’ll be hard for you to keep your position in Chengye Group.”
“Feng Nianzhen doesn’t even think about the difficulties you’ll face in Chengye Group. She’s only thinking about how many benefits you can give Jiang Yuexi,” Jiang Xun said. “It’s not she shouldn’t get it. Jiang Yuexi is her daughter and your biological sister. Even if she can’t treat both of you equally, she can’t hurt the other too much.”
“Besides, Feng Nianzhen always said that you’ll inherit the Jiang family and the business.” Jiang Xun sneered. “But Jiang Chengye is in good health. It won’t be a problem for him to work for another 20 years. Jiang Chengye doesn’t look like someone who is willing to retire early. Therefore, the inheritance of the Jiang family and the success of the business are all matters for the future. The benefits that aren’t in your hands are all empty, they’re all flatbread.”
“In fact, you haven’t gotten anything so far. Feng Nianzhen, on the other hand, can use the excuse that you’ll inherit the Jiang family and business to give all the benefits to Jiang Yuexi,” Jiang Xun said. “It’s all empty talk. To put it bluntly, it’s just this.”
“So you’re not being petty. It’s only natural for you to feel uncomfortable,” Jiang Xun said. “Feng Nianzhen broke your heart.”
“But, you can think about it. Do you really need Feng Nianzhen to plan for you?” Jiang Xun pouted. “Feng Nianzhen and Jiang Yuexi’s IQs are only so-so.”
