“Deputy… deputy manager.” Long Shuhai stammered.
Bai Qinghao smiled coldly. “Is that what you mean by not asking for any returns? It seems like you’re planning on converting the Fang Group into your company.”
Long Shuhai’s legs weakened in fear. “Of course not! My brother is seriously ill and currently in a coma. I’m caring for the Fang family out of genuine concern. I don’t have any greed for their wealth.”
“Really?” Bai Qinghao clearly did not believe in him.
Long Shuhai displayed an earnest expression and said, “I swear, I will never own any portion of the Fang family’s enterprise. The Fang Group will only be passed down to the next generation. If I entertain any alternative thoughts, my retribution shall be worse than death!”
In any case, he had never thought about swallowing up the Fang Group on his own. At most, he would use some of the Fang Group’s money and hold onto some of its power.
In the future, even if the company was handed down to Fang Manxue, it would still be considered as passing down to the next generation.
What was wrong with making a poisonous vow to reassure Bai Qinghao?
Bai Qinghao stared at him for a moment. Long Shuhai felt as though he was seeing right through him. “It’s still too early for you to play these sort of word games with me.”
Shu Longhai was covered in cold sweat. “C… CEO Bai, I’m sincere towards the Fang family.”
Bai Qinghao was uninterested in a small thing like the Fang Group. He was too lazy to respond to his nonsense.
Fang Manxue had always known her second uncle and mother would hand the Fang Group down to her alone. She was moved to tears at this moment. “Second uncle, you don’t have to make a vow like that. I know you’ve invested all your heart and effort into the Fang family. I believe in you.”
She tugged Fang Xinxin’s elbow. “Hurry up and speak up for our uncle.”
How could Fang Xinxin not understand that Long Shuhai was referring to Fang Manxue when he claimed that the Fang Group would be passed down to the next generation?
Even if they wanted to monopolise the Fang Group, they had to first obtain her permission!
“Why should I speak up for a two-faced person?” Fang Xinxin asked her.
Fang Manxue and Long Shuhai’s expressions stiffened. They cried out at the same time. “Xinxin!”
“Look at you speaking in unison. Those who don’t know any better, might assume that you are a pair of father and daughter.” Fang Xinxin chuckled.
Long Shuhai’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m your second uncle! You can’t make these sort of jokes.”
Fang Manxue wanted to raise her voice but remembered that Bai Qinghao was present. She still needed to maintain her virtuous image and could only say in discontentment, “Xinxin, you can’t be this rude. CEO Bai is still here.”
Fang Xinxin sneered coldly. “You sure are good at acting. In front of outsiders, you’re always a good sister. If we were alone, I’m sure you would already have started barking by now.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Bai Qinghao’s lips. “My fiancée’s words always amuses me.”
Fang Manxue’s complexion turned pale from anger. She was about to throw a tantrum when she received a look from Long Shuhai.
She could only shut her mouth unhappily.
Long Shuhai respectfully gestured toward the sofa. “CEO Bai, please sit.”
He turned to the helpers. “Quickly serve tea to CEO Bai!”
Bai Qinghao’s chauffeur, Li Binpan, stood behind him and said, “You don’t need to prepare the tea.”
Saying so, he lifted his hand.
Two maids immediately entered the living room. One laid a luxurious, hand-sewn cushion on the sofa while the other brought in a pot of fragrant tea on a tray.
After Bai Qinghao sat down on the cushion, the maids immediately served him tea.
He had brought his own cushion and tea?!?
Long Shuhai did not become upset when he saw this.
The rumours claimed that Bai Qinghao had a serious case of mysophobia and did not like it when others touched his things. It seemed that the rumours were true.
