After having breakfast, Tang Zhixia went to Mrs. Xi to ask An to take care of her son. As soon as she entered the villa, she heard a dispute coming from the study, including an elderly man's loud voice.
"Sister-in-law, how long has it been? Why do you still abide by those old rules? You would rather give the opportunity to make a fortune to outsiders than to our own family, right?"
Tang Zhixia was startled. Hearing this voice, there was also strong resentment and accusation.
At this moment, Mrs. Xi's voice sounded majestic, "A Dong, rules are rules. These are the traditional family rules of the Xi family. You must abide by them."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how diligent and hardworking my son is. We just want an opportunity now, an opportunity to join the board of directors of Xi's Group. We don't want to be greedy, just occupy a small part of the shares. This is too much.
Is it done?"
"A Dong, the game of family rules has always been like this. The descendants of the Xi family are not allowed to enter the Xi Group. We can provide you with any help you want."
"What's the use no matter how hard we work? If Jiuchen Company can't even make a fraction of the profit, what's the use?"
"Jiu Chen has tried his best to help the family members over the years. You are all getting better and better. You should know how to be satisfied."
"Ha! Sister-in-law, I know what you are afraid of. Aren't you just afraid that our descendants of the Xi family will have the opportunity to grow in the Xi Group and threaten your grandson Jiuchen? Therefore, you have been suppressing the other juniors of the Xi family from coming forward. This is a domineering family rule.
, it should have been abolished long ago.”
"Be impudent, A Dong. My grandson's wedding is coming soon. Don't make trouble here. If you don't want to attend the wedding, you can leave." Mrs. Xi's voice was extremely majestic.
Tang Zhixia heard footsteps inside, and she hurriedly walked into the side hall next to the villa. She saw an angry figure leaving.
Tang Zhixia recognized it, that was Xi Jiuchen's second master, Mrs. Xi's cousin.
When Tang Zhixia was in a daze, he heard the gentle voice of Mrs. Xi, "Zhixia, come in!"
Tang Zhixia was startled. She didn't expect the old lady to know that she was coming.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose just now." Tang Zhixia came in and apologized.
Mrs. Xi stretched out her hand towards her and said, "Come here, Zhixia, you should listen, because from now on you are the one who will handle the affairs of the Xi family. Sooner or later, you will take my place."
Tang Zhixia was immediately filled with pressure. As expected, the family affairs of a large family were extremely complicated, and handling them required means and force.
"That person just now was my cousin. Jiuchen also called him Second Master. He proposed more than once that his children and grandchildren should join the board of directors of the Xi Group, but I refused." Old Mrs. Xi sighed, "
I must distinguish between family ties and official business. The traditional family rule of the Xi family is that no descendant of the Xi family is allowed to participate in the work of the Xi Group. We can help them create wealth, but we cannot share it with them, do you understand?"
Tang Zhixia nodded, understanding the reason. The existence of this family rule must be meaningful.
"Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and they think I'll be merciful! So they force me to change the rules again and again." Mrs. Xi was also extremely helpless, "Zhixia, you will have to handle this kind of thing in the future.
, thank you for your hard work, I'm afraid they will bully you for being young and make things difficult for you in the future."
Tang Zhixia did feel the pressure. She nodded, "I will try my best to handle the family affairs."
"Of course, I will teach you." Old Mrs. Xi comforted, "You don't need to think about these things now. It's more important to prepare for the wedding. Just relax."
"Yes, I will, grandma, where is Chenchen?"
"Qingye took me out to play this morning. Qingye and Chenchen actually had fun together." Old Mrs. Xi said with a smile.
"Grandma, let me go out with you to relax!" Tang Zhixia saw that the old lady was not in a good mood, so she wanted to accompany her.
