"Dad isn’t afraid of you making mistakes; you’ve always been Dad’s pride. It’s just about learning from experience."
Rong Jing pressed his lips tightly.
Inherently sowhat arrogant, Rong Jing often gives off an impression of disdain for everyone. Yet, in front of his father, Rong Jing’s deanor is very humble.
He was brought up single-handedly by his father; all his business theories, ideas, and style co from his father.
But beyond inheritance, his father never restricted his own style.
For example, he likes venture capital, likes to try, and his father never obstructs him.
This ti a big ss erupted, but his father’s words weren’t criticisms, rather guidance.
"The crisis the Rong Family is facing this ti is not easy to resolve, but the Rong Family has weathered many storms over the years, and this ti will be no different."
Rong Si said.
Rong Jing nodded.
"Yes."
"If everything goes as you predicted, then before Yin Shixiu returns, the Rong Family must first be invincible. That way, even if Yin Shixiu returns, what power does he have to shake things up?"
"Yes, Father is right."
"Keep your spirits up, after all, the shareholders of the Rong Family are not our enemies. If they don’t unite at this ti, they would truly be allowing outsiders to exploit the situation."
Rong Jing took a deep breath and responded.
Rong Si sighed softly.
"The shareholders’ eting is not a problem. The day after tomorrow is my sixty-third birthday. Have the invitations been sent out?"
"They’ve been distributed."
"Did Yin Group receive theirs?"
"The people we sent out said Yin Group accepted it, and Su Xiaong agreed to attend dressed to the nines."
Rong Si’s lips twitched slightly.
"That Su Xiaong... I’ve never taken her seriously, yet who would’ve thought such a little girl would make the Rong Family suffer several tis."
"Dressed to the nines... well, let’s have her co dressed up, and leave in rags!"
Rong Jing’s fists clenched slightly.
Rong Si noticed the fleeting unnatural expression on his son’s face, his eyes narrowed.
"What? You haven’t really taken an interest in that Su Xiaong, have you?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Have all the won in the world died or sothing?"
Rong Jing laughed.
"That’s good. Don’t entertain thoughts you shouldn’t."
Knowing your son well, Rong Si says these words at this mont because he’s sensed a subtle change in Rong Jing’s attitude towards Su Xiaong lately.
The previously buzzing topic in all of Beijing about the marriage alliance between Rong Family and Yin Family—Rong Jing repeatedly explained to him that it was rely a clever plan that served the interests of the Group, and certainly not sothing personal or selfish.
Rong Jing spoke with conviction, but in his heart, Rong Si harbored doubts.
However, being shrewd at over sixty, he wouldn’t expose it. So matters are like a thin layer of paper over a window; as long as it’s covered, no one knows. But once pierced, it can’t be patched back again!
So at most, Rong Si would rely allude to it.
Rong Jing pressed his lips together—his father’s sixty-third birthday...
Actually, sixty-three isn’t a particularly auspicious number, and his father isn’t the type who enthusiastically celebrates a grand birthday every year.
This ti, the impromptu distribution of invitations mainly serves the interests of the Rong Family.
His father has a much broader network than Rong Jing.
Since Wu Rong’s arrest, there are very few who could directly support them at this ti.
His father intends to use this birthday celebration: first, to foster relationships; second, to find reliable partners for projects currently in the Rong Family’s hands; third, to use the opportunity to stomp on the Yin Family!
Rong Jing naturally understands his father’s character.
It’s that he wants to take this opportunity to give the Yin Family a good stomp.
He thinks the matter of Yin Group’s Yin Shixiu faking his death should be explosive enough!
Wait until Yin Shixiu returns fully fit? Letting him recuperate hiding in corners they can’t see?
They don’t have that kind of generosity, nor such kindness.
The Rong Family father and son intends to catch Yin Shixiu unprepared—not only Yin Shixiu, but Su Xiaong too, and even the entire Yin Family!
It wouldn’t be lively enough if only the Rong Family is pushed into the spotlight.
The office door knocked and the secretary ca in.
"Boss, President Rong, the shareholders are arriving one after another."
"Understood."
Rong Jing said, then stood, adjusted his pure white suit, and straightened his floral tie at the collar.
Rong Si also stood up, and father and son walked, one in front of the other, toward the grand conference room of the Rong Family.
................
Rong Family’s Old Master Rong Si’s sixty-third birthday was held at the Millennium Hotel in the Beijing City Center.
The hotel’s eighteenth-floor hall was now arranged as a birthday venue.
Rong Jing wore a dark red suit, stepping on shiny polished leather shoes, standing at the grand entrance of the hall; Rong Qiao maintained her graceful appearance, petite and charming, wearing an exquisite off-shoulder dress.
She styled her hair in the currently trending ssy bun, loosely but not sloppily, naturally enhancing Rong Qiao’s beauty.
Rong Jing stood next to his sister, assessed her attire from head to toe, and chuckled,
"Dressed so ticulously? Could it be there’s soone among the attendees today you fancy?"
Rong Qiao glanced up at Rong Jing,
"I didn’t put much effort, just randomly picked an outfit. It’s only Dad’s birthday."
Rong Jing chuckled, didn’t say much else. Judging by Rong Qiao’s expression, her "random" wasn’t really "random."
Most likely, it’s not because there’s so prince charming she fancies who’ll be coming, but rather...
"Uncle Lu, you’ve arrived, please co inside."
Guests holding invitations arrived in droves, the siblings were the face of the birthday celebration and naturally had to greet them diligently.
Actually, Rong Qiao didn’t need to stand at the door with Rong Jing.
Usually, Rong Qiao isn’t seen to be so obedient or sensible, yet today she’s exceptionally proactive, seemingly making an effort for soone.
Despite it being Rong Si’s birthday, those who received invitations are sensible enough to guess why Rong Si is marking the occasion with such pomp.
On the surface, everyone must give face to the Rong Family.
In Beijing, prominent families like the Rong Family are few; declining an invitation from the Rong Family isn’t the act of smart people.
As for what Rong Si plans after their arrival, that’s to be seen once they’re present.
So truly didn’t want to collide with the awkwardness of the Rong Family at this ti, initially finding excuses to decline; however, upon hearing Yin Group’s President Su Xiaong had also received the invitation...
This...
"President Su."
Indeed, Su Xiaong kept her word to the Rong Family, attending promptly and "dressed to the nines."
She wore a black dress with a single strap, exposing her exquisite, angular, beautiful collarbone.
Yet... though it’s a black formal dress, the black seems rather monotonous, almost as if she’s attending a funeral...
Rong Jing imdiately noticed Su Xiaong arriving alone.
Su Xiaong walked up to Rong Jing, handed over her invitation, and smiled.
"Young Master Rong, becoming gaunt day by day."
