Chapter 87 - The Family Banquet
Old Master Wu’s expression was solemn as he said in a stern voice, “Is this the seat that you should be sitting in?”
Wu Chenjin’s voice was cold and sonorous, but he still maintained a minimum level of respect. He replied, “You once said that the capable person in this family should sit in the main seat.”
Old Master Wu snorted coldly. He did not expect that his eldest son had changed so much after not seeing him for so many years. In the past, he had never dared to contradict him.
In order to treat Han Yao’s illness, Old Master Wu used 50% of his shares to exchange for one of Wu Chenjin’s kidneys.
He also did not expect that the kidney source that he had been looking for for so long was actually by his side. Therefore, he absolutely could not miss this opportunity. He was willing to exchange all of his shares for his son. However, he still did not fancy his eldest son, therefore, he still negotiated with Wu Chenjin for a long time.
After Wu Chenjin received the shares, he began to secretly purchase the scattered shares in the market. So far, he had become the largest shareholder of the Wu Family’s estate.
However, Old Master Wu did not know about this. He had not taken care of the company’s affairs for a long time in order to take care of Han Yao. Moreover, the company still had Wu Chaotian, so he was even less worried.
If he had not heard from his assistant last month that Wu Chaotian had transferred 35% of the company’s projects to Song Nuanyi, he would not have realized that his company was in danger.
He scolded Wu Chaotian. He only calmed down when Wu Chaotian introduced him to the Robot Doctor project that he was working on with Smith. Otherwise, he would have definitely stripped Wu Chaotian of his position as the president of the company.
Old Master Wu had sent people to find out that Wu Chenjin was buying up non-tradable shares everywhere, but he could no longer stop the situation from changing. Therefore, he could only send people to keep an eye on him in secret and try his best to compete with him for the shares.
The atmosphere at the dining table became stiffer. Grandmother could not sit still anymore. She slammed the table with all her might, making a ‘Bang’ sound and breaking the suffocating pressure.
She questioned Old Master Wu angrily, “How many years has it been since Little Jing came back? Why are you causing a scene the moment he comes back? I agreed to his position. What, you don’t like an old woman like me?!”
Old Master Wu’s expression was ugly. Being scolded by his mother in front of the younger generation made him feel a little embarrassed. “Mom, I didn’t mean that. Whether it’s at the company or at home, there must be a rule!”
......
Grandmother said angrily, “What rule? What rule do you have to set? Is Director Wu used to being a boss and doesn’t know what a company is? is he going to fire me as his mother in two years?”
“Mom!” Old Master Wu said, “The more you say, the more ridiculous it gets. Forget it, forget it!”
He waved his hand. “Let’s eat!”
Old Master Wu scooped a small bowl of soup and handed it to Han Yao. He said in a concerned tone, “Drink more soup. This is what nutritionists have been cooking for the whole day.”
Han Yao nodded.
Grandmother seemed to be doing it on purpose for everyone to see. She picked up a large piece of cod and gave it to Wu Chenjin. She said with great energy, “Little Jing, eat! This cod is very fragrant!”
historical
Not far away, Wu Chaotian, who had been quiet the whole time, looked up and happened to meet Wu Chenjin’s eyes. Wu Chenjin smiled and took the cod. His gaze seemed to sweep over Wu Chaotian, and he only looked at Grandmother when the cod was in his mouth.
“Thank you, Grandmother.” He added another piece for Grandmother and said, “Grandmother, eat it too.”
After the meal, the whole family had a banquet. In the past, it was always arranged freely, but this time, the banquet was arranged by Grandmother. She said that there was an important matter that she want to announce.
Old Master Wu sat on the sofa solemnly. He asked, “Mom, is there anything important today?”
Grandmother looked at everyone calmly. Even though she was sitting in the center, she still had a special deterrent force. She said, “It’s for my grandson, Little Jing. He has something important to inform everyone.”
Old Master Wu did not expect that today’s family banquet was for Wu Chenjin. His brows immediately furrowed and his tone was very unpleasant. He glared at Wu Chenjin and asked the old lady.
“What on earth would he have to announce?”
