"Yes, yes, yes," Ye Xingbei nodded repeatedly, "It’s so accurate!"
"Right?" Gu Junzhu said, "Every region has its exclusivity. Without the Gu Family as a backing, do you think the Chi family’s branch in Beijing would be so easy to establish? While him being my subordinate might not sound great, the one who benefits the most is actually the Chi family."
"I understand," Ye Xingbei said, "but many people care more about pride than outcos! They’d rather not take benefits and keep their dignity. A dignified Second Young Master of the Chi family, being your subordinate—wouldn’t he feel dissatisfied?"
"What’s there to be dissatisfied about? He’s the Second Young Master, not the First Young Master," Gu Junzhu said, "The Chi family’s inheritance rights belong to Chi Yu. He might get shares, but once Chi Yu gets married and has children, he becos just a high-level employee of the Chi family. Is that any different from working for ?"
"Alright," Ye Xingbei nodded, "that makes sense. By establishing his own career here, he doesn’t need to share the Chi family’s pie with Chi Yu. His parents would probably be delighted."
Many brothers get along well before they get married.
After marriage, once they have their own families, if one ends up with a greedy partner, disputes may start as both want more for themselves.
She has t Chi Zhan’s sister-in-law, who is very fond of Chi Zhan and doesn’t seem like soone who would bicker over petty benefits.
If Chi Zhan can win over Yue Yaer, Yue Yaer isn’t the type to schemingly compete over money, so the Chi family shouldn’t have such worries.
However, no one can predict the future.
From Chi Father and Mother Chi’s perspective, they wouldn’t want their sons competing for the family’s resources, fearing future conflicts.
Even though the likelihood seems low given Chi Yu and Chi Zhan’s bond and character, parents tend to overthink and worry about their children’s future.
Considering this, it’s understandable why Chi Father and Mother Chi would agree to let Chi Zhan leave ho and work hard in Beijing.
Suddenly, she thought of sothing and tilted her head to look at Gu Junzhu, "Did you take advantage of the situation again?"
"Hmm?" Gu Junzhu looked at her, "What?"
She humd twice, "Who wants to be a subordinate when they can be a partner? Chi Zhan initially talked to you about a partnership, right? But then, you took advantage and tricked him into becoming your subordinate, didn’t you?"
Gu Junzhu laughed, "Exactly, only my wife knows that well."
"You’re sothing else," Ye Xingbei clicked her tongue, "I knew it."
"In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests," Gu Junzhu said, "I like having control over things myself, and anyone who doesn’t exploit benefits is a fool!"
Ye Xingbei: "...Get away!"
Gu Junzhu laughed heartily and stuffed the crab at he had prepared into her mouth, "Just eat this. Crabs are cold in nature and not good to eat too much of."
"Okay," Ye Xingbei tossed a piece of crab roe onto his plate, "You have so too."
Xiao Shumiao looked at Gu Junzhu, then at Ye Xingbei, sighed, and with a look of exasperation, said, "Mom and Dad, you see, at five years old I can eat by myself without anyone’s help. You two feeding each other, I can’t even watch. It’s so embarrassing!"
Everyone at the dining table looked at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.
