As a husband, Shen Gaizhuo had also said similar things to his wife in private when he was pleased.
When such things are said between a couple in private, it really elevates one’s mood.
But these words must never be shared with others.
So when Liao Yamei accused Rong Qingqing of talking nonsense, Shen Gaizhuo believed Rong Qingqing.
Naturally, Shen Gaizhuo was filled with rage, internally cursing himself for marrying a fool.
Shen Gaizhuo raised his hand and slapped his wife directly.
"Even if my brother is no more, his wife and children will always be the masters of Shen Manor, a part of Shen Manor! You, a woman, should not run your mouth here and ruin the relationship between our two families!"
"My brother and I are blood brothers, our relations are deep; with him gone, it’s my duty to look after his wife and children more."
"Besides, when my brother was around, he and Shen Jue contributed immensely to the company. Even if we talk about idlers at Shen Manor, Shen Jue is nowhere near that category. Why don’t you say you’re the idler here at Shen Manor?"
Listening to Shen Gaizhuo’s words, Old Master Shen’s anger slightly subsided.
"Shen Gaizhuo, you and Xingwei should remember, without your brother and Shen Jue, Shen Group wouldn’t be where it is today,
though you two now manage Shen Group, the major contributors to its current success are your brother and Shen Jue!"
"Over the years, you and Xingwei just idly passed time at the company. It was your brother and Shen Jue who tirelessly worked from dawn to late at night, sometimes even staying at the company."
"Their contributions to the company far exceed anything you and Xingwei could ever match; they are the true contributors to Shen Group."
"Whether it is the servants at Shen Manor or yourselves, I will not tolerate anyone speaking ill of the elder son and Shen Jue!"
Old Master Shen’s heart still aches when he talks about his eldest son.
"Shen Gaizhuo, if you can’t manage the house well, I can find someone else to take your place!"
This sentence was already quite severe.
As a father, Old Master Shen calling his son by full name showed the depth of his resentment and helplessness in his words.
Shen Gaizhuo’s eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness.
Yet he still managed to suppress it well.
"Dad, I know, the success of the company today is entirely due to the hard work of my brother and Shen Jue." Shen Gaizhuo approached to support his father,
"I will do my best not to let down the efforts of my brother and Shen Jue over the years, and will also take care of my sister-in-law and them as best as I can."
Old Master Shen stared at his second son for a long time before slowly nodding.
"Since the housekeeper and servants are disobedient, replace them with obedient ones," Old Master Shen said, "Don’t let me find out anyone in Shen Manor is playing double-faced games."
"Alright." Shen Gaizhuo agreed immediately.
Rong Qingqing suddenly spoke up, "When I was studying abroad, I met someone who would make a good butler. I think he’s quite capable, why not hire him at a high salary?"
Old Master Shen looked at Rong Qingqing and considered that she would also be part of the first family in the future, so he nodded, "As you wish."
"If we are replacing people, then let’s replace all the servants at home as well. Keep a few that we’re satisfied with, and change out the rest. Since I moved in here, I’ve heard some talking behind our backs all too often."
Rong Qingqing was quite adept at seizing opportunities!
"Also, I want a few bodyguards who can listen to me; so that when something happens in the future, the bodyguards protect me, and not someone else."
