“In recent years, Grandfather has sent people to look for you more than once. Why have you never come back? Would you have never set foot in Qiao Family unless I fell seriously ill…?”
Observing Qiao Chuxi halting her steps, the old patriarch’s face gradually revealed a faint smile. Having experienced great trials and even narrowly escaped the gates of death, he now understood one thing more clearly than ever: the Qiao family must be entrusted to this gifted young woman.
“I don’t want to fight with Uncle and the others for anything, nor do I wish to see the Qiao family shattered over property matters. To preserve Grandfather’s life work, leaving was my best choice…”
Facing her grandfather’s questioning, Qiao Chuxi’s smile turned bitter. She was an emotional person who didn’t want family disputes to arise over inheritance issues.
“Not fighting or competing doesn’t mean they will understand your intentions. Regardless, they will still try to push you aside. Without you, Qiao Group already has no hope and will only gradually decline…”
Old Master Qiao knew his granddaughter was unambitious, preferring a peaceful life. However, some matters weren’t as simple as they appeared. At the very least, others in the Qiao family would definitely make things difficult for her for their own interests.
“Yes, not fighting doesn’t mean they will let me go easily…”
A flash of light flickered briefly in Qiao Chuxi’s eyes as a figure quietly surfaced in her mind. If it weren’t for that man, perhaps her entire life would have been ruined. Her delicate frame trembled slightly. Hearing her grandfather’s words again, she realized her own thoughts had been too idealistic.
“Come back. The Qiao family needs your leadership. Qiao Group cannot be without a leader. Grandfather is old and tired now. Can you bear to see Grandfather’s efforts go to waste?”
Seeing Qiao Chuxi’s emotions wavering slightly, the old man became visibly excited. He believed this granddaughter would surely follow his wishes, so he wasn’t in a hurry, knowing asking her to decide immediately might be too much for her to accept all at once.
“Some things you can’t escape or avoid, so why think about them too much? Since I’ve returned, I’ll stay and help Grandfather for a while…”
After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Chuxi finally made up her mind. Her words quickly calmed Old Master Qiao’s heart.
“Good, good, good! Truly my Qiao Shan’s granddaughter! Today, I will transfer all the Qiao family shares to you. I will leave those beasts with nothing!”
The old man’s voice trembled slightly. Thinking about his disappointing sons, his anger flared. Qiao patriarch could grant them wealth and status, but he could also reduce them to nothing…
“That might not be appropriate. Uncle and the others will definitely object. Besides, Grandfather can still manage the Qiao family. Why transfer all the shares to me?”
Although Qiao Chuxi knew Grandfather intended to hand Qiao Group over to her, this happiness came rather suddenly. After all, the entire group was the largest enterprise in Linjiang, with industries spread throughout the north…
“Just focus on managing the group properly. I don’t believe they can create any significant trouble. Remember, you are the sole heir to Qiao Group. No one else has the qualifications!”
Old Master Qiao understood Qiao Chuxi’s concerns. He knew she definitely didn’t want to create too much tension with the Qiao family, as she always valued family bonds more than interests. Taking full control of Qiao Group would inevitably anger everyone…
“I believe in Grandfather!” Finally, Qiao Chuxi chose to compromise. She didn’t want to see Grandfather sad, nor did she wish to see Qiao Group decline.
“I will handle these matters properly. I’ll see who dares to oppose my arrangements. If anyone tries to cause trouble again, I’ll make sure they’re completely expelled from the Qiao family!”
The cold gleam in his eyes vanished suddenly. Old Master Qiao had made up his mind: he must ensure Qiao Chuxi takes over the entire Qiao family. Otherwise, Qiao Group would completely vanish.
Qiao Chuxi said nothing further because she understood her grandfather’s nature. Once he made a decision, he would never easily change it. It seemed this time the actions of the Qiao family had completely broken his heart…
“You should know about Hualong Enterprise, right?”
Seeing Qiao Chuxi silent, Old Master Qiao paused briefly before continuing. As the leading enterprise in Linjiang, he knew Hualong’s background well. To put it bluntly, at their peak, Hualong and Qiao Group each controlled half of Linjiang’s business world!
“Hualong Enterprise? Isn’t it bankrupt? Although it was an unexpected bankruptcy, Hualong is no longer what it used to be. If Grandfather hadn’t suddenly fallen ill recently, Hualong’s acquisition would already have been completed!”
“It’s true that Hualong’s bankruptcy was unexpected, but now it has been acquired by a powerful force from the capital. What will happen in the future remains uncertain…”
Old Master Qiao frowned slightly, clearly worried. After all, he didn’t want to leave this mess for Qiao Chuxi. Others might not know who acquired Hualong, but he knew it very clearly…
Huihuang (Brilliant), this commercial empire that rose like a legend in the business world of the capital. Anyone who recalled it would feel a strange sense of awe. In just half a year, Huihuang, relying on the Situ family, had already become the representative of the entire capital region and even the north…
“Then I’ll handle the negotiations with the company that acquired Hualong. If we can gain control of Hualong from them, Qiao Group will definitely become even stronger!”
Qiao Chuxi didn’t fully understand her grandfather’s concerns. She only knew that as a local force in Linjiang, Qiao Group had deeper roots compared to outside enterprises…
“Never adopt an overly aggressive attitude, or Qiao Group will definitely suffer losses…”
There was obvious caution in Old Master Qiao’s words. After all, Huihuang wasn’t like Hualong. No one knew what waves this dragon coming from across the river might create, so he didn’t want Qiao Group to test the waters…
Because one thing Old Master Qiao was absolutely certain of was that if Qiao Group tried to test the waters, it would definitely end up in a very embarrassing situation. Even though Qiao Group’s industries were spread throughout the north, he knew exactly what the Situ family represented in the business world.
Qiao Chuxi felt momentarily confused but didn’t argue, as she believed her grandfather must have good reasons for such caution…
However, as a strong woman of the Qiao family, how could Qiao Chuxi not want to see for herself who this mysterious force was that made her grandfather so cautious? The previous Hualong Enterprise certainly hadn’t reached this level!
Seeing his granddaughter’s expression, Old Master Qiao already knew what she was thinking, but he could only helplessly shake his head. He naturally understood his granddaughter’s personality very well…
Qiao Chuxi secretly resolved herself, determined to meet this outsider who controlled the enterprise. At the very least, she wanted to let him know that Linjiang was the Qiao family’s territory…
