Xia Siyu originally didn’t want to talk to these people. On the New Year’s Eve ten years ago, when it was still snowing heavily, she and her mother were brought back to the old house by her father for the first ti. These people in front of them would rather accept Ms. Tong, who had been divorced from her father for many years and had no possibility of reconciliation, than let her and her mother through the door.
Those people back then are the sa ones outside the ward now.
After Xia Siyu and her mother were kicked out of the ward back then, she swore that she would beco soone of significance before appearing in front of them again. Considering her mother had won a dance gold award and two Best Actress awards, she thought she at least had to win three and gain worldwide fa.
So her competition with Shang Feifei was not only about striving to et her mother’s achievents but also for the honor of both her and her mother.
But today’s situation is special. Even if she doesn’t want to face these people, she wants to co and see her father.
After the company people left, before Xia Siyu could speak, the first sound was her granduncle’s cane tapping on the floor: "Although Youbiao is out of danger, according to the doctor, it’s a bit difficult for him to lead the company in the future."
He looked at Xia Ju’an: "Though Ju’an has done well recently, he’s still too young to win people’s trust. And he’s only worked in the design departnt, with no experience in company managent. I think we should let Youwei (Xia Youbiao’s cousin, granduncle’s son) take over temporarily. Youyi (granduncle’s daughter) has also worked in finance for many years and can assist."
They say it’s temporary managent, but unless Xia Youbiao recovers, the company might end up in their hands.
After all, they’re using his illness as an opportunity to seize power. No wonder all these relatives ca rushing in as soon as Dad fell ill, faster than anyone else, even in the middle of the night.
Xia Ju’an inherited his father’s temperant, very kind and talented. The New Oriental style he led in the design departnt is the best-selling recently. But in dealing with relatives and friends, he completely inherited Xia Youbiao’s manner. He felt sothing was wrong, but his objections were weak: "Is this appropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate?" Xia Youwei stepped forward. He has the Xia family’s signature round face just like Xia Youbiao, but with large eye bags and deep nasolabial lines, coupled with his downturned mouth, giving off a slightly sleazy impression.
"We’re all family; we should help each other." Xia Youyi also added, "If possible, we hope Brother Biao recovers soon, but since he’s sick now, we have no choice but to step up."
It was still Xia Sicai who glanced at her husband, and Bo Yi also looked at her, before she spoke: "Of course, I trust Uncle and Aunt’s abilities. But such major personnel appointnts must be decided by a board vote."
That didn’t rush granduncle; he smiled: "Don’t worry about that, Sicai. I believe I can persuade the board."
Xia Sicai was indeed a little anxious, but since she was pregnant and caring for her child, she hadn’t been in the company enough for the past year. Her father didn’t let her into senior managent due to her identity then, letting her move up step by step. According to the original plan, if Xia Sicai and Xia Youbiao had the capability, the company wouldn’t have been handed to them until they were fully trained in ten years.
Unfortunately, everything is happening too quickly now.
Xia Sicai still felt sothing was off: "This matter needs more consideration. My suggestion is, since Uncle doesn’t have experience managing the company, why not find a professional manager to help manage it."
Granduncle naturally disagreed, and the two sides argued endlessly.
The discussion over there was heated, while Xia Siyu and Bo Yan remained unfazed on one side. Xia Siyu had no thoughts about the Xia Family, and Bo Yan remained indifferent to Bosch Corporation.
She only watched her father in the ICU, the machine still beeping. After a while, it was unclear who, perhaps Xia Ju’an, suddenly asked her: "Siyu, what are you doing?"
Xia Siyu turned her head, confused. Although she usually slept early, she was used to filming night scenes and could stay up for a long ti.
Before she could speak, granduncle began to frown: "Her? What right does she have to ddle in the Xia Family’s affairs? A child not recognized by the Xia Family has no right to question family matters in any era!"
Xia Siyu was originally disinterested in these ssy things. Since her reputation turned around, with dozens of endorsents and earning high fees, she didn’t care for the Xia Family’s assets. But after hearing that, her anger quickly flared.
Xia Siyu imdiately retorted: "Ridiculous. My dad isn’t even dead, and you’re already fighting over assets. If he truly passes away, would you escalate it to heaven?"
Granduncle was enraged, stomping his cane hard on the ground: "You!—"
"What ’you’!" Xia Siyu had no habit of respecting elders, especially those who lack respect themselves. Respecting them only fuels their arrogance, "It’s the 21st century, and you still don’t understand the law? Saying there’s no right at any era, let tell you, whether dostic or abroad, as long as I’m his biological daughter, I have the right to inquire about family matters! My father and mother are legally married; they’re recognized by law. Who are you to question the law? If you run the company into the ground, my money will decrease significantly. If you want to pocket the assets, we’ll see each other in court!"
She turned and asked Xia Ju’an: "Is your company a family business? Is it stipulated that only those with the last na Xia can run it?"
Xia Ju’an was taken aback and didn’t expect Xia Siyu’s question. After a thought, he replied: "No, but..."
"As long as it’s not." Xia Siyu waved her hand, uninterested in hearing the "but". In fact, Shengxia Furniture was originally a family business, founded by Xia Siyu’s grandfather. In the early days of the company, family mbers held various positions within it. Later it was handed over to Xia Youbiao, who planned to groom Xia Ju’an and Xia Sicai.
However, this is based on their abilities. If they lacked capability, he wouldn’t watch the painstakingly managed company fail and would rather hand it to a professional manager, letting them hold shares.
In recent years, he had been reforming the company. The forces within granduncle’s family and a few slightly distant uncles and cousins were gradually phased out of the core circle. Unexpectedly, when he fell, these people jumped out to seize power.
