Sixth Brother did not find his sister as desired, even after Grandpa Sheng had allowed him to. However, his sister had vanished into the thin air. He could not find any trace of her. This made him detested Mu Qiqi even more. Because she had made him lose his sister.
Even so, it was not all bad. Because Grandpa Sheng had finally seen Sheng Xiao’s arrogance and chased him out of Huang Yao.
In fact, what power did Sheng Xiao have after working there for so long?
He worked the hardest but got the least. And now, he was even hated by the Shengs. Since that’s the case, and the other Shengs were so confident, just let Sixth Brother take over the business!
After that, Grandpa Sheng had better not come and beg him.
Grandpa Sheng knew how important Sheng Xiao was to Huang Yao. However, he did not like Sheng Xiao threatening him. He didn’t believe that he could not get a man, or ten men if he needed to, to replace him. There were so many capable people in the world, couldn’t he find someone to replace that bastard?
If Sheng Xiao wanted to fool around with Mu Qiqi, he would let him be!
The next day, Grandpa Sheng announced to the public that his sixth grandson would take over Sheng Xiao’s work temporarily. He also told Jing Yun to pass all the documents to Sixth Brother. The staff in Huang Yao were shocked hearing the news. What was Grandpa Sheng doing?
Jing Yun steadily gave a mountain of documents to Sixth Brother.
When Sixth Brother saw these, he asked, “Are you joking, Jing Yun? You want me to read all these?”
“These are only a third of what Young Master dealt with before. I will pass you the rest afterward.”
Sixth Brother was shocked. “Are you saying this is how Sheng Xiao works all this time?”
“These are just a third of today’s workload.” Jing Yun replied and left the office. Then, he went to Mama Sheng’s office. He told her, “Ma’am, I only work for Young Master. Since Grandpa Sheng had removed him from Huang Yao and no longer values Young Master, I want to apply for a transfer, or, you can just fire me.”
“Jing Yun, you can’t leave, Sixth Brother will make a mess. You know that. It is not that I want you to help him, I just want you to keep a record of everything. So that when Sheng Xiao comes back, he will not face much problem when dealing with all these. I feel the same as you. But I will not let my son be bullied. Even when he leaves Huang Yao, it must come from his own will.”
Jing Yun nodded. “But I will not cover up Sixth Young Master’s mistakes.”
“Jing Yun, you are always careful and mature when you deal with these. I am sure you will be able to protect yourself. I have no doubt about it.”
Since Mama Sheng had said it already, he would do as he saw fit.
It was also a good chance to let Grandpa Sheng know that if it was not because of Sheng Xiao, Huang Yao’s business would not expand this much.
Not even in his dreams!
When Huang Yao was in a tense situation, the man who got down from the position as the boss was relaxing in Jing Ting.
He didn’t have to wake up early, nor he needed to read a mountain of documents. He could sleep with his little one in his arms until he woke up naturally. He could exercise in the morning. Then, he could accompany his little one to study in the afternoon. Such leisurely time was not always available to him.
“Have you decided on the place?”
Now, Mu Qiqi was reading a book in Sheng Xiao’s arms. Then she heard the question.
Mu Qiqi turned her head and looked at Sheng Xiao. She shook her head. “I don’t know where to go, and whether we should go.”
“What are you scared of?” Sheng Xiao asked. “Are you scared that I will be broke and not able to take care of you after losing the status as the crown prince of Huang Yao?”
“I am just worried that you will not feel at ease even when you are far away from here.”
Sheng Xiao closed Mu Qiqi’s medical book. “I have patience.”
This time, Sheng Xiao had made up his mind to battle it out with Grandpa Sheng until the end. So, even when Grandpa Sheng came and begged him to go back to Huang Yao, he might not agree.
He had worked so hard for Huang Yao. And Grandpa Sheng had simply replaced him?
Yes, he could. Then he must return all his hard work back to him. He could let Huang Yao’s business revert to how it was ten years ago.
So, for the whole day, Sheng Xiao received countless calls. And he answered them the same way. “It has nothing to do with me. If you want to terminate the contract, just do it. Or, should I recommend a better company for you?”
“I don’t want to counter anymore. I don’t want to renew the contract anymore.”
In just one day, ten percent of the companies who had signed contracts with Sheng Xiao asked for termination.
When Grandpa Sheng received the news, he was enraged. “If he is really into this fight, I shall give him one!”
Mama Sheng was angry to hear him say that.
Did he think that it was Sheng Xiao who had depended on Huang Yao all these years?
In the evening, Sheng Minglan made a phone call to Mama Sheng and she got to know that the grandfather and the grandson were really angry this time. Only then, she went to Jing Ting with Jing Yun at night.
But when she saw Sheng Xiao relaxing in Jing Ting, she was…
“I was worried over nothing. You should at least pretend that you are scared of Grandpa.”
“I am,” Sheng Xiao answered lazily with Mu Qiqi in his arms.
Sheng Minglan could not help but laugh. “Nobody can do anything about you.”
Sheng Xiao looked at Sheng Minglan, then at Jing Yun. “You don’t have to come here next time. When you are free, you should go out and date.”
“But if you do this, Grandpa will hate Qiqi even more. He will blame everything on Qiqi regardless of what really happens.”
“Do you think he wouldn’t if I admit defeat?” Sheng Xiao asked. “He doesn’t plan to accept Qi’er from the start. Of course he won’t let us get married. But it doesn’t matter. I have a plan.”
Sheng Xiao knew Grandpa Sheng’s mind better than anyone else.
So, he would not yield.
If he did this time, then Grandpa Sheng would do it again and again.
“Then, you will just stay at home and do nothing?”
“When I have time, I will visit my father-in-law or Aunt Zipei. Sometimes, I will go out with Qi’er.”
Sheng Minglan felt helpless when Sheng Xiao gave her this answer. It was already a mess in Sheng Mansion. But he did not seem to be worried at all.
He was right. Grandpa Sheng should really learn to suppress his desire of controlling people. Meeting such a cunning grandson like Sheng Xiao, there was no way he could win.
After dinner, Sheng Minglan and Jing Yun left Jing Ting. Thinking about Sheng Xiao being so carefree, Sheng Minglan couldn’t help but laugh. “Grandpa really does not know how deep he has hurt Sheng Xiao. It’s alright that he does not acknowledge Qiqi. But everyone can see how much effort Sheng Xiao had put in for Huang Yao. How could he simply replace him with someone else just to let Sheng Xiao know he was the one who has control over Huang Yao?”
