Jiang Yuan stepped into the Jiang Family Villa with excitement bubbling in his heart.
Because soon, he would finally be able to spend some quality alone time with his wife!
Jiang Che had already started his own company, and in a year or two, once their son's abilities were fully honed, Jiang Yuan planned to bring him into the company for some hands-on experience.
At that point, he would give him the title of acting CEO. Once Jiang Che had firmly established himself in the company, Jiang Yuan would transfer all the company shares and the chairman's position to him.
Hehe... By then, he and his wife would be free to travel the world to their heart's content.
Just thinking about it made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
He was almost done with this tiresome life!
"Darling... let's go. Has little Mianmian gotten chubby staying with our son?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at Su Mianmian, who was cradled in Jiang Yunli's arms.
[Bah! You're the one who's gotten chubby!]
Su Mianmian was furious, her little paws scratching incessantly as she tried to escape the suffocating trap of Jiang Yunli's embrace. She felt like she was about to be squished to death.
"Be good, Mianmian. It's been months... don't you recognize your mommy anymore?"
Su Mianmian: "......"
After struggling for a while, she simply gave up and went limp.
[Are these Jiang Che's parents? Hiss... They see all these girls around Jiang Che and don't even bat an eye?]
Su Mianmian protested in her heart.
These parents were seriously irresponsible!
Could it be that they were encouraging him to play the field? Su Mianmian's tiny head was filled with big questions.
......
"Son, aren't you happy to see your mom?"
As soon as Jiang Yunli saw Jiang Che, she tossed the cat onto the sofa and gave him a big hug.
"Meow—" Su Mianmian was thrown off, completely dazed.
[Hey, hey, hey! Isn't this a bit too much, ma'am? Just a moment ago, you were calling me your little darling, your precious. Now that you've seen your real son, you're just going to toss me aside like this?]
Su Mianmian strongly condemned this behavior!
Jiang Che was also a bit speechless. His mother seemed to be forever stuck in a state of eternal youth.
And she had no filter when it came to conversation.
"Che, tell me secretly... did you win over Feifei? I noticed her walking a bit oddly once..."
Jiang Che: "......"
Seeing Jiang Che's silence, Jiang Yunli immediately understood and covered her mouth, laughing.
She patted Jiang Che's thigh. "Feifei is a good girl. You better not mistreat her! Sure, she's a few years older than you, but older sisters know how to take care of people."
"Che, you better hurry up. Feifei looks like she'd be great at having kids. Your dad and I are waiting to hold our grandchildren!"
Jiang Yuan helplessly tugged at Jiang Yunli's sleeve. "Darling, don't say such things. Our son has other girls at home too."
"So, what are you two here for?"
Jiang Yuan straightened his expression. "Che, I heard you started a company a few months ago? You're the behind-the-scenes investor?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Che immediately understood Jiang Yuan's intentions. The old man wanted him to take over the family business?
Inherit his billions?
A few months ago, he might have outright refused. After all, he was living the high life, indulging in luxury, surrounded by beautiful women, and occasionally dealing with those so-called "chosen ones." Why would he want to burden himself with inheriting the family fortune?
But now... Jiang Che had a professional business team at his disposal. People like Leng Ningqiu were top-tier business talents. It would probably only take a month or two for them to fully take over Yuanche Pharmaceutical.
Yuanche Pharmaceutical was now worth over a trillion, and with government policy support, its cancer-fighting drugs were among the most competitive in the global market.
Jiang Che nodded. "Yes, I did start a company called Qiangsheng Group, but it's just something I did for fun. I'm just a hands-off boss."
Hearing his son's words, Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched. A company worth billions, just something he did for fun?
How ridiculously humble!
"Che, doesn't that just show how capable you are? Look... are you interested in our family's company..."
"My company is managed by my team. I'm just a figurehead with shares. If I were to take over our family's company, I'd probably do the same—hand it over to my team to manage."
Jiang Yuan fell silent. Before coming here, he had already done some research on Qiangsheng Group. The executives were all beautiful women.
Hmm... very much in line with his son's personality!
He had initially thought these women were just eye candy, but upon further investigation, he realized they were all highly capable, especially Leng Ningqiu. Her business acumen was so sharp that even a seasoned veteran like him couldn't help but admire her.
Leng Ningqiu was known as the Fox of Hangzhou's business world—cunning, unpredictable, and capable of outmaneuvering even the most experienced players.
Handing over the empire he had built over decades to someone else? He couldn't accept that.
But he didn't trust just anyone... he trusted his son!
"Dad, the CEO of my company, Leng Ningqiu... she's mine."
Once Jiang Che said this, both Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yunli understood. No wonder Leng Ningqiu was so willing to work for their son. She was Jiang Che's woman!
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but give Jiang Che a mental thumbs-up.
Jiang Yunli, on the other hand, started calculating in her mind. She had already given away all her bracelets, and now there were two more daughters-in-law. What was she supposed to do?
[That's it! If I can't give bracelets, I'll give necklaces!]
[Gold necklaces, silver necklaces, crystal pendants, agate necklaces—I have plenty of those. I'll have someone custom-make dozens of them...]
"Che, being able to manage women is also a skill. When I transfer the shares to you... I've left some people in the company. They're veterans who've been with me for over a decade..."
It was clear that Jiang Yuan was eager to step down, even willing to give up the company entirely.
"Let's talk after I graduate..."
"No, no, don't wait until graduation. Let's do it in the next couple of days! Tomorrow, I'll have the legal department prepare the paperwork to transfer the company shares to you... I'll also hand over the chairman's title. After that, you can do whatever you want with the company."
Su Mianmian, still in Jiang Yunli's arms, was utterly stunned.
[Is... is this really happening? A trillion-dollar company, just handed over like that?]
[Shouldn't there be some intense corporate warfare? Or maybe a secret love child showing up to fight for the inheritance?]
[Wuwu~ I want money too. Can I put my paw print on the share transfer agreement? (Pitiful)]
Jiang Yuan, afraid that Jiang Che might change his mind, immediately prepared to leave with Jiang Yunli.
"Che... we'll be going now."
"Son, do your best. I'm looking forward to holding my grandchild soon." Jiang Yunli gave Jiang Che a thumbs-up.
As they were about to leave, they ran into Chen Ningshuang.
Jiang Yunli's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a fierce glare directed at Chen Ningshuang.
The image of the loving mother had instantly transformed into that of a wicked mother-in-law!
She would never forget the time Chen Ningshuang had slapped Jiang Che so hard that he ended up in the hospital!
