Zhang Hai was originally wondering if the old man had sothing important to instruct.
This made him happy. What did it indicate? It showed that the old man trusted him. No matter how Zhang Hujuan jumped around, or how Zhang Jiang caused trouble behind his back, they couldn’t stop his progress.
Even the best mood couldn’t withstand seeing Zhang Jiang’s car pull in after he got out of his own car, and his previously high spirits plumted instantly.
When Zhang Jiang saw Zhang Hai, he wasn’t surprised at all. On the contrary, if he wasn’t there, it would be strange.
Seeing that sullen face, Zhang Jiang was delighted. He really wanted to ask if it was surprising, but then he thought better of it, after all, this was the old man’s territory, and everywhere he looked, it was filled with the old man’s people.
"Long ti no see, little brother," Zhang Jiang took the initiative to greet Zhang Hai. Since the other party was in a bad mood, as a good brother, he obviously had to be a bit considerate of his feelings.
Looking at Zhang Jiang’s sly smiling face, Zhang Hai felt all sorts of discomfort, but what could he do? After all, this was his older brother, and he took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, second brother."
After thinking for a mont, "Did the old man notify you too?" Zhang Hai tentatively asked, after all, sotis this bastard second brother would rush over here and say he had his eye on sothing, hoping the old man could support him a bit.
"Yeah," Zhang Jiang nodded, "otherwise, why would I have to co over."
"Do you really think your brother ca to the old man for money, little brother? I know you look down on your big brother, but you can’t be like this, right? I just do it occasionally."
Zhang Jiang expressed his grievance, it’s rare for him to have such thoughts, but Zhang Hai thinks he does it often, it’s excessive.
Zhang Hai quietly watched Zhang Jiang perform, occasionally do it, huh, it’s occasionally, just once a month, the frequency isn’t high, but each ti he manages to get sothing from the old man.
Every ti Zhang Hai thinks about the old man giving Zhang Jiang money each ti, his heart bleeds, because these would be his in the future.
Zhang Jiang noticed how bad Zhang Hai’s expression had gotten, feeling quite pleased, as he had already given up on the company’s succession rights.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to compete, it’s just that over the years he’s seen that the old man is set on giving the inheritance to the little brother, not that his skills are excellent.
It’s because this kid never fought alongside the old man to build an empire; he wants to stabilize that position, and besides trying to win over the old man, there’s only this way to go.
Whether it’s him or Zhang Hujuan, Zhang Jiang can confirm they won’t follow the old man’s wishes.
Big brother left back then because he saw this too, knowing that staying in the company ant being drained by the old man to pave the way for the little brother, so he left.
Unfortunately, he died young, not having broken out of his orbit, otherwise if he had, Zhang Jiang thought it would have been interesting.
Unfortunately, the big brother died at the pri of his life. Zhang Jiang watched Zhang Hai stomp off angrily, not unaware of the old man’s intentions, he heard the hidden ssage loud and clear, not to stand on Zhang Hujuan’s side.
The implication is that when Zhang Hujuan takes the stage, this brother would also be cleared out.
Amusing, though, does helping the little brother an this guy will know his kindness?
No, once the little brother takes the stage, Zhang Hujuan, the eldest sister contending for the inheritance, will not have a good outco.
As for him, the second brother leeching off the company, he won’t have a good outco either, the worst result being not settling accounts, forcing him into retirent, living off dividends from so company shares.
Despite all their fighting, the company’s performance has gone to hell, anyone with eyes can see that the Zhang’s ship cannot withstand another storm, otherwise sinking is inevitable.
Why should he cling to the Zhang family ship, better take advantage now to extract more money from the old man, the share of the company, what he’s entitled to, must not be less, use the money to buy houses, beco a landlord.
Zhang Jiang always rembered Zhang He’s words, when needing a stable investnt or no solid projects to invest in, just buy land, houses, or shopfronts. Although the return rate is low, at least it’s stable.
Over the years, if he had money, he’d buy houses and shopfronts. Didn’t think much of it initially, but once he owned multiple properties, they slled of success, and the annual inco was no less than the salary.
Now, doesn’t the little brother think he’s co to take sothing or money from the old man? Since the little brother thinks so, isn’t it a bit of a waste not to operate this way once?
Since everyone thinks he’s a greedy person, he must continue this persona.
Zhang Jiang took a look around, noticed the steward instructing cars, greeted the old man’s favorites, then decided to head to the study.
Though he didn’t know the reason for the summons, seeing so many company veterans, he felt it likely had to do with company developnt.
Regarding company business, Zhang Jiang had no interest in managing, doing well was expected, it would only make Zhang Hujuan wary and resentful.
If he didn’t do well, people would say he was an idiot, soone born into the right family, anyway, everyone truly didn’t expect him to contribute.
Since that’s the case, let them keep calling him an idiot, anyway, as long as he has money and property, no need to worry about the future, and as for those so-called insults, Zhang Jiang simply doesn’t care.
After entering the house, Zhang Hai noticed several company veterans who were already there, and although he disliked them, feeling they relied on their past glories of helping build the old man’s empire to occupy high positions in the company without contributing, demanding high salaries, constantly complaining about being mistreated by the company.
Thinking about their usual conduct, Zhang Hai found himself disliking them more and more.
Zhang Hai’s disdain for them, which was apparent, was reciprocated by the old-tirs present, who felt this kid was just lucky to be born, lucky in birth, becoming Zhang Fugui’s youngest son, had Zhang He not left the company, how could this kid have risen to prominence.
It can be said that neither side liked the other, and at any other venue they wouldn’t hesitate to storm off angrily.
In this tense atmosphere, Zhang Jiang and a few old company employees entered the room, seeing such a combination made Zhang Hai’s head hurt.
Annoyed, he glared at Zhang Jiang, fully aware that these people were like termites in the company, yet he insisted on associating with them. If not for knowing he was an idiot, one would think he intended to stir these people to say good things about him in the old man’s ear.
After chatting for a bit, Zhang Jiang said apologetically, "I have sothing to discuss with my father."
The other party gave him a knowing look, "Go ahead."
What? Zhang Hai hadn’t expected the recently denying he was here to ask the old man for money Zhang Jiang to pull sothing like this, which infuriated him.
Just about to intercept, soone stopped him, "Zhang Hai, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
Even knowing the person was blocking his path, he could only go along with their request, otherwise, if accusations ca later, there would be no good outco.
