Zhang Sanfeng, carrying the revised amount by Gu Nuan, arrived at the guest room where Zhao Family and Xiao Yebai were present.
Mrs. Zhao, in the guest room, nodded at those seated around her and said, "At this point, there’s no other way but to fight with all we’ve got and, as Yebai said, to exert every effort to battle the opposition."
The rest naturally wore serious expressions.
During the stock-up night, Yao’s sister and others could distinctly feel the tension, which was far more than just the nervousness of launching new products in the market the next day. What exactly did this signify?
Domestically, the Xiao Family
In the evening, Xiao Shuzhu came into the living room with a bowl of refreshing lotus seed soup to offer her filial respects to her father.
In the living room with Xiao Jianming were also the third sibling Xiao Shuju and the second sibling Xiao Shulan. The family’s elder grandmother was watching TV and listening to the radio in her room.
It was known that lately, Changda had quieted down considerably. Perhaps the enemies were now targeting the Zhao Family. Changda’s stocks had been very stable in the market for some time, with no changes. Market insiders and outsiders alike were surprised. Even professional analysts couldn’t figure out the reason.
Why had SUNV suddenly gone quiet? And since exposing a group of traitors, Changda had also become silent, without any signs from Xiao Jianming about restructuring or reorganizing the company’s equity structure—no movements whatsoever.
However, it might be this very lack of action that deterred the opposition from making a move, as they could not fathom what cards Xiao Jianming still had up his sleeve.
The calm in the stock market undoubtedly provided Changda with the best breather. Changda’s operations gradually shifted back to their previous stable state.
Xiao Shuju, Xiao Shuzhu, and Xiao Shulan couldn’t help but admire their father once again profoundly. At the same time, their perception of their younger brother, Xiao Shubai, also changed. Hadn’t Yebai always advocated for inaction?
Remaining inactive to control action, the deep mystery within was like the secret techniques of martial arts masters; those who didn’t understand couldn’t employ it at all. Just remaining calm was already extremely difficult.
It was clear that the position of chairman was not something just anyone could handle.
Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shulan remained silent.
Xiao Shuzhu was hesitant when handing the nourishing soup to Xiao Jianming, as if she held unsaid words in her mouth.
The third and second siblings seemed to guess what she wanted to say and looked at her face disapprovingly.
Indeed, unlike the second and third siblings, Xiao Shuzhu had from the start preferred to take a stand on Gu Nuan’s side.
Lately, hints were floated that her father, Xiao Jianming, had been liaising with the Yang Family again, seemingly very fond of the young Miss Yang Zhilin from that family to be his daughter-in-law.
Xiao Shuzhu wanted to be the good person at this moment and speak up for Gu Nuan.
However, the second and third siblings felt that, indeed, their brother seemed to be somewhat capable. But still, handling one matter didn’t compare Gu Nuan with the Yang Family—they were fundamentally incomparable!
If they could indeed gain support from the Yang Family, Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju saw nothing wrong with that. Think of Xiao Shumei, who had sacrificed everything for the family, including her own marriage. Xiao Yebai, as the only son of the Xiao Family, had to shoulder this responsibility; otherwise, it would be unfair to the enormous sacrifice made by Shumei.
The three sisters had different thoughts.
Xiao Jianming, seemingly oblivious to the hesitant expression on Xiao Shuzhu’s face, hung his aged eyes and drank the soup.
