Zhang Fugui thought Zhang Jiang was just speaking casually. Now that he had fallen out with Zhang Hai, shouldn’t this son be trying to prove himself sohow?
After all, he had taken quite a few valuable things from the old house, and he still had so businesses in his hands. How could Zhang Jiang not want them?
Unexpectedly, ever since he moved into the nursing ho, apart from holidays, Zhang Jiang seldom showed up.
Whenever asked, he was always busy expanding the market outside, building office buildings and malls, and renting out factories, which one could imagine must yield a good inco annually.
Zhang Jiang hardly made appearances, but every day he would make a call to ask about his condition. Beyond that, there was nothing more.
As for Zhang Yu, due to the ti difference, being able to make a call once a week was already good. He knew this granddaughter was doing well overseas, seemingly becoming a big shot in economic law.
Fu Yun had always been working at the United Nations and was presumably a minor leader there now. This wasn’t sothing Fu Yun told him over the phone, but sothing the old man found out from watching the news.
Zhang Fugui initially thought Fu Yun was just working at the United Nations for a temporary stint. How could soone who studied economics and previously worked in the investnt field work there long-term, especially since the salary there wasn’t high?
But in reality, Fu Yun continued working at the United Nations and even got promoted. Occasionally, when watching the news, he would see her na and know she was doing well abroad.
Zhang Fugui had envisioned his old age, thinking it would be a life surrounded by children and grandchildren—never thought that his senior years would be spent in a nursing ho.
He didn’t expect that the heir he had painstakingly chosen, instead of growing the company strong, had let it decline in developnt montum.
The real estate company thrived in Zhang Jiang’s hands. He still rembered during reunions, old friends would say they had discovered a dark horse.
Yet after Zhang Jiang left the company, although the real estate developnt remained good, that was due to the overall trend. Many real estate companies that started at the sa ti were now expanding into other regions.
Zhang’s real estate enterprises were still spinning around this small patch of local ground. If the local developnt had been exceptional, it would have been forgivable since making money is the goal of any business.
Unfortunately, external real estate companies had already moved in to compete fiercely, developing vigorously, and even an old man like him knew if Zhang’s did not rise and fight, they would be beaten down.
In contrast, Zhang Jiang swapped Zhang’s shares for a few pieces of land and then invested in a real estate company with Fu Yun and Zhang Yu, primarily focusing on leasing. It seed not very profitable, but the annual rental inco was significant.
Saying he didn’t regret it would be false. Zhang Fugui sotis wondered if things would have been different had he chosen Zhang Jiang as the heir.
Unfortunately, he wouldn’t know, but he was sure Zhang Jiang was very satisfied with his current life.
Zhang Yinghao cautiously entered the room, hesitating to make a sound.
Zhang Fugui looked at this grandson who would only appear when there was sothing he needed, and showed no emotional fluctuations, "Speak up, what’s the matter?"
Zhang Yinghao knew his previous encounters could easily have angered Zhang Fugui, but this ti he had no choice. "Grandpa, I want to go abroad."
This was him coming to ask for money again. Zhang Fugui felt a bitterness in his heart. Anything from Zhang Hai’s family who would actively co to find him was not out of guilt, but because they needed him as an ATM.
"If you want to go abroad, then go abroad. The family fund has money," Zhang Fugui indicated the family fund would cover the expenses.
Zhang Yinghao wasn’t surprised the old man would say this. He had thought when he decided to go abroad, the family fund should pay for it, even if the fund wasn’t ample now, it should still provide so, not to let him live in luxury abroad, but at least to cover tuition so he could study there with peace of mind.
The reality was cruel, as Zhang Hai told him the family fund had no money, and if Zhang Yinghao insisted on studying abroad, he would need to raise the funds himself.
Zhang Yinghao had no money, nor did Zhang Yutong, and even if she did, she wouldn’t be willing to spend it, saying that this was the Zhang family’s matter and it had nothing to do with her.
Left without options, Zhang Yinghao ca to seek Zhang Fugui’s help, as advised by so knowledgeable people.
What? Zhang Fugui straightened up abruptly, looking at Zhang Yinghao in disbelief, "Impossible, I rember the family fund had a lot of money a couple of years ago."
"Even if in these years your dad hasn’t contributed to the fund, the previous sum should be enough for you to study abroad." Zhang Fugui suspiciously glanced at Zhang Yinghao.
"During these years, my dad not only didn’t contribute, but also tried to take money out of it."
"There isn’t much money in the family fund anymore," Zhang Yinghao said pitifully.
The family fund being broke made Zhang Fugui’s body wobble a bit, "How, how."
"You ca to ask for money to study abroad?" Zhang Fugui said sternly.
Zhang Yinghao nodded, "My university is average, I want to further my studies abroad."
"If you knew your grades and university were average, why didn’t you think about studying abroad sooner?" Although Zhang Fugui was already disappointed with this grandson, he was once full of expectations for him.
"I, I.." Zhang Yinghao said bitterly, "Dad said there was no need to study abroad, the family has a company, and doesn’t value this."
"But now, he says my academic qualifications are average, and even if I enter the company, I would only start from the bottom level." Recalling the words he overheard, Zhang Yinghao felt deeply wronged, his tears uncontrollably streaming down.
Start from the bottom? Zhang Fugui saw no issue here, "Starting from the bottom and understanding the operation of the company is essential."
He initially thought Zhang Hai, being a university graduate, knew more and didn’t need to start from the bottom, but that led to the lofty but low-skilled attitude he has now.
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Yinghao didn’t expect even Zhang Fugui to find no issue with those words, "But he said I’d be stuck at the bottom forever."
"He said I’m dumb and hot-tempered, and handing the company to would only speed up Zhang’s downfall." Zhang Yinghao had known the company wouldn’t be handed over to him.
He just never thought Zhang Hai would be so ruthless as to make him work at the bottom forever, not even giving a chance to be in middle managent.
"I want to go abroad, I want to study well." At this mont, he had only one thought, which was to study abroad, he must study abroad.
Zhang Yu and Zhang Yingxuan both changed their destinies through studying abroad, and he believed there was no reason he couldn’t achieve the sa.
