The crowd below heaved a sigh of relief, their eyes shining with anticipation.
Gu Anxi fetched a stack of papers from Feng Mian and said, "These are the shares the departing mbers of the Bo Family have abandoned, worth more than a billion. The Bo Family has no need for this little money. Now, it has been decided to distribute these shares among you."
The fifteen people were left slack-jawed. Never had they imagined such a wonderful opportunity!
The finance manager imdiately began distributing them. Each person was to receive shares worth approximately one hundred million, and everyone was overjoyed.
Watching them, Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "However, as everyone has seen today, the Bo Family has had quite a few ungrateful wolves. Now, if you are willing to accept these shares, it ans you’ve decided to stand with the Bo Family through thick and thin. In that case, there can be no empty promises, can there?"
Instantly, the fifteen people were sowhat stunned.
After a mont, one man stepped forward. "Since I’m receiving this benefit, I will naturally follow Nian Yao. He has treated us like his own brothers all these years. It’s that cur Bo Qing who is the ungrateful wolf; he will co to a bad end!"
His words gave courage to the others, who chid in, "Yes, Nian Yao has always been good to us. We must trust him."
"Exactly! Those who spoke of leaving the Bo Family earlier are no good."
"They will regret it! We mustn’t let them return then."
"The Bo Family cannot keep traitors!"
Bo Nianyao sipped his tea with a slight smile.
Lady Bo’s lips curved upward. Let’s show them how formidable our little cub is!
Even Bo Jin was rather surprised. She had always felt that Anxi, while talented, was still young. The family’s affairs were complex, and many mbers presud on their seniority, even acting high and mighty in front of Xichen. Yet now, Anxi had actually managed to cow them like this.
Gu Anxi handled them with ease and said in a calm voice, "I have no other demands for any of you. You are all unard and no match for Bo Qing. You just need to attend to your own duties properly."
She paused. "If, one day, Father Bo is taken hostage by Bo Qing, you all..."
The one leading them imdiately said, "We will not collude with him. Please rest assured."
The others also declared their stance!
Gu Anxi nodded and then said solemnly, "Since everyone has expressed their loyalty, I will take this opportunity to reiterate the Bo Family’s rules. Father Bo is busy with external affairs, and Mother Bo is too amiable. So, this unpleasant role of enforcer can only fall to ."
Soone from the group below spoke up, "Yes, the Bo Family’s rules must not be broken."
The others also nodded. "Indeed!"
Gu Anxi smiled, raised her hand, and imdiately two people dragged a man over and threw him into the middle of the study.
The group was puzzled by this.
The man, thrown to the floor, was trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Anxi stepped forward, kicked him a few tis, and sneered, "This is the traitor who eats our food but helps outsiders, the one who leaked the Old Master’s whereabouts."
The group imdiately exclaid that such a person should be driven out of the Bo Family.
"Drive him out? Isn’t that letting him off too easily?" Gu Anxi sneered, then looked towards Bo Nianyao. "The servants in this house number, if not several hundred, then at least eighty to a hundred..."
Bo Nianyao set down his hot tea. "I’ve said it before, you are to handle the household affairs now. We have indeed been too lenient with them. If even the Old Master’s confidants are so unprogressive, it’s inevitable that more trouble will arise in the future."
Gu Anxi nodded, then ordered the housekeeper to call all the servants outside...
