370: 344 Koda Kaoru 370: 344 Koda Kaoru “Sister, you’ve rested for such a long ti now, isn’t that enough?
Hurry back to the company.”
The elusively exclusive Imperial Brocade Gardens.
ng iling sat in the courtyard, sipping tea amidst the blooming flowers.
Such serene elegance is what many people dream of, isn’t it?
However, the middle-aged person sitting beside her was far less composed, sticking to ng iling, earnestly persuading her.
Not to ntion, with regard to facial features, he bore quite a resemblance to the forr lady of JinHai.
Yes.
To be precise, she was now the forr lady.
“Which company are you talking about?”
ng iling asked, her tone indifferent as she drank her tea.
“Of course, JinHai,”
ng Jiye said without hesitation.
His na alone was indicative of the high hopes his parents had for him.
That’s right, he was ng iling’s younger brother, full siblings sharing the sa mother.
This also ant that he was Qian Qian’s uncle on her mother’s side.
The most beautiful days of April are no myth.
The azure sky washed clean with clouds coming and going, undulating in a soothing rhythm, was indeed much more pleasant than being trapped in an office within towering skyscrapers.
And ng iling had always been soone who knew how to enjoy life.
“Whether I am there or not, it doesn’t matter to JinHai.”
ng Jiye imdiately disagreed upon hearing this, “Sister, how can you say that?
You are the major shareholder of JinHai, holding decisive influence over its developnt.
How can it be irrelevant to you?”
ng iling remained tepid, her tone detached, “Didn’t you always hope that JinHai would go bankrupt and close down in the past?”
ng Jiye suddenly felt awkward and chuckled forcefully, “Sister, wasn’t that just youthful foolishness?”
“Don’t forget the expectations of our parents.
The ng Family is still counting on you to make it prosper.
Don’t waste your ti on .”
One cannot call it outright gender bias, for carrying on the family trade is seen as natural, especially in well-heeled families.
And because she insisted on marrying Shi Zhenhua, ng iling’s relationship with her family had beco quite tense at one point.
Of course.
Ti and circumstances had changed since then.
The once dignified ng Family, all combined, could no longer match a single JinHai.
Facing the once scorned poor boy, they even had to present a smile.
“Sister, how can you say that?
We are the closest of kin, and isn’t JinHai also the ng Family’s business?”
ng iling laughed, her smile sharp and mocking.
“JinHai carries the Shi surna, what does it have to do with the ng Family?
And besides, I’m already divorced from Shi Zhenhua.”
“I always knew Shi Zhenhua was an ingrate.
Could he have achieved today’s success without our ng Family?”
ng Jiye cursed unabashedly, his resentnt long-contained.
His attitude undoubtedly represented the sentints of the majority in the ng Family.
Not many were emotionally equipped to accept the shift in status.
“Sister, it’s precisely because you’re divorced that you should return to JinHai.
You remain the major shareholder, and that hasn’t changed.
You cannot allow Shi Zhenhua to continue acting recklessly.”
ng Jiye spoke with righteous indignation.
“Has sothing happened?”
ng iling inquired.
“Sister, you’ve been away from JinHai for too long.
You don’t know, Shi Zhenhua is currently purging dissidents, adopting a dictatorial style, and he has fired several of my subordinates.
Sister, regardless of everything, I am still your brother.
He is showing neither you nor the ng Family any respect!”
As relative by marriage, the rise of JinHai had inevitably brought benefits to the ng Family.
Most tangibly, ng Jiye had also acquired a portion of JinHai’s shares.
Although not many, they garnered him a seat on the board of directors.
From this perspective, Shi Zhenhua wasn’t being overly unkind.
“Why don’t you go to Qian Qian?”
ng iling asked.
“Sister, Qian Qian is still a child.
What does she know?”
ng Jiye responded imdiately.
Truthfully, due to the grievances of the older generation, his niece was not particularly close to him as her uncle.
“It doesn’t seem to that Shi Zhenhua is the dictator.
More like you’ve been forming cliques within JinHai.”
ng iling put down her delicate purple clay teacup.
“Sister, am I that kind of person?”
ng Jiye imdiately protested his innocence, “I’ve always treated JinHai like our own business, working hard without complaint.
Yet Shi Zhenhua is so ruthless.
Sister, do you know what people under JinHai are saying about now?
He’s openly shaming our ng Family!”
ng iling was unmoved.
She knew her brother well: haughty yet diocre.
With such traits, not only was enterprise out of the question, but even maintaining the current state of the ng Family’s enterprise seed challenging.
The key issue was his boundless ambition.
When strength does not match ambition, the result could be disastrous.
Of course.
Throughout history, from the rise and fall of empires to the fluctuating fortunes of a single family, no one can forever sit aloft.
Survival of the fittest is a law of nature and a principle of societal operation.
“Stop always pushing the bla onto others.
When things go wrong, the first step is to reflect on oneself.
If you’re truly blaless, not having given others leverage against you, how could Shi Zhenhua possibly find a reason to target you?”
Even though she was no longer at the company, ng iling seed to see everything clearly.
ng Jiye huffed and puffed, unable to speak for a mont.
“Sister, who doesn’t make mistakes?
For such a small issue, is there a need to be so heartless?”
“Without rules, there is no square or circle.
Shi Zhenhua has reached his position today step by step.
What do you think got him there?
If your own hands are dirty, you can’t bla others.”
“Sister, you’re already divorced from him; we are the real family!”
ng Jiye, feeling extrely awkward, couldn’t help but raise his voice.
