Chapter 771: Chapter 771: The Old General’s Twilight Years
“Is that so?” Sheng Shaochen’s mood suddenly improved greatly; it seemed that the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were getting along well, which would save him a lot of trouble.
“By the way, Master, I saw a report saying that Song Xiaoxin is now missing. What exactly happened?”
“That was the path she chose for herself. Guan Jiu, from now on you need to keep a close eye on the Beidou Group’s activities. Report to me promptly if there are any movements. If Song Xiaoxin is really dead, the Song Family will inevitably seek revenge on us.”
Upon returning to the Sheng Mansion and seeing the Old Lady increasingly frail and withering away, Sheng Shaochen couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
“Grandma, I’m sorry to have caused you suffering,” Sheng Shaochen knelt on both knees in front of the Old Lady.
“Get up,” the Old Lady said, showing no signs of blaming him, and pulled him to sit beside her. “My dear grandson, I know you did it because you care about me and didn’t want me to work too hard, so you supported your mother to take over. I don’t blame you.”
“Grandma, I’m really grateful that you understand my intentions. To be honest, I truly wish to put everything aside and take you around the world to see more of its wonders. What do you think, Grandma?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Tears streamed down the Old Lady’s face as she caressed Sheng Shaochen’s face. “Actually, I don’t have any objections to your mother. It’s just that the burden of being the head of the Sheng Family is too heavy, and I’m afraid she can’t handle it. Now that you’re back, I can rest easy.”
“Grandma, rest assured. The Sheng Family is what it is today thanks to the path you painstakingly carved out with bloodshed in the past. I will do my best to manage the Sheng Family even better. However, Grandma, there is something I would like to ask for your permission.”
“You don’t need to say it; it’s about Ye Shu, isn’t it? Ah, I’m old now. Whatever decisions you want to make, I no longer have the strength to interfere. Just do as you please. I just hope that you all will be well. And yes, Du Shiniang has made many contributions to our family. Don’t mistreat her. Even if you want to bring Ye Shu back to Shengjing Garden, could you give Du Shiniang a generous transition period?”
“Of course, Grandma. Don’t worry about it; I have a sense of measure.”
“My dear grandson, there’s one more thing I’d like you to do.”
“Tell me, Grandma. What is it?”
“These past few days, I’ve been reflecting on many things. I see that your mother is still quite wary of me. With her disposition, I’m afraid she might uproot all the talent chains I’ve struggled to build up and replace them. That could greatly harm our family’s business. I fear it could give our rivals a chance to strike…”
“Okay, I understand, Grandma. Have a good rest. I’ll take care of it right away.”
After leaving the Old Mansion, Sheng Shaochen didn’t notify his mother. Instead, he had someone send him a list of all the personnel changes that had occurred in the family business directly to his phone.
As soon as he looked at it, his forehead furrowed!
Within a week, there had been hundreds of personnel adjustments in Sheng Family’s female divisions, including demotions and even outright dismissals, with most positions being manager-level and above!
This was definitely not good news.
He was just about to call his mother, Bai Yueru, when he saw that she had already called him.
“Son, I’m with Xiao Shu right now. I called to say that we should have dinner together tonight at our main hotel. Invite a few of your good friends to celebrate your safe return. Oh, Xiao Kai, you’re so big now, why do you still need to be carried? Get down, don’t wear out Sister Ye Shu.” Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
