Gorgeous Female Tenants

Xu Xiangbei could tell right away from Qian Wantong’s eyes. In fact, deep down, he still hoped Qian Duoduo could inherit his business and help him manage the company.

As the saying goes, a son follows in his father’s footsteps. This is the hope of countless fathers! Qian Wantong has been invincible in the business world for decades, having fought hard to build half a kingdom, but without a heir, what’s the point?

"Of course, I have no objections. Dad, you know I have no interest or talent in this area at all. Brother Xu is very capable, if he really wants it, I have no objections!" Qian Duoduo said earnestly, his expression indifferent, yet his tone filled with determination.

"Alas!" Qian Wantong sighed deeply, as if he had aged decades in an instant. The last time he expelled Qian Duoduo from the family, he fainted from anger. It was because Qian Duoduo adamantly refused to come work at the company or manage it, preferring instead to idle around and chase girls, which made him very disappointed.

"Fine, since it’s like this, as long as Mr. Xu is willing, he can come to work at the company anytime. The general manager position is yours. After I pass away, you’ll be the largest shareholder in the company. Just make sure my son doesn’t starve!" As Qian Wantong spoke, there was a hint of relief on his face.

This time, Lu Qing’s betrayal and harm made him think about many things, drawing him to the brink of death. It also made him see clearly his son’s filial piety, and in his heart, he no longer wanted to force him to do anything. As long as the family is together, he actually doesn’t care too much anymore. Yet, he still couldn’t let go of the empire he had built, wanting to entrust it to someone reliable.

Actually, he called Xu Xiangbei here today for two things. The first was to thank him; the second was to observe Xu Xiangbei’s character and conduct, then find a way to hand over the company to him.

"Elder Qian, please don’t joke around. I really don’t have the talent for this!" Xu Xiangbei probably guessed his intentions and quickly shook his head to refuse.

This left Xu Wanqing beside him very surprised. Shengshi Business Group is one of the top groups in Jiangcheng, worth four or five hundred billion, yet it’s being handed to Xu Xiangbei for free, and he’s actually refusing it. This completely doesn’t match his greedy style.

"Yes, Uncle Qian, you should think this through. There’s no need to rush such things, right! You’re still young and healthy; as for the heir? I think once Radiant Light sees clearly, he will definitely come to work at the company!"

Wang Kunseng’s heart skipped upon hearing this. He certainly didn’t want Xu Xiangbei to come work at the company, and he had been eyeing the general manager position for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity.

His father is the company’s vice president, and now Qian Wantong’s health is declining day by day. As for Qian Duoduo, he is fully aware that he has no talent, only knows how to play, a typical rich second generation.

Having him work at the company would completely be under his control. By then, he could take the general manager position, coupled with his relationships within the company, he could control the entire company, and it would be easy to find ways to get Qian Duoduo’s shares and ruin him.

And this Xu Xiangbei, he couldn’t quite figure him out. Through brief interactions, he realized this was someone who doesn’t play by the rules, completely beyond his control. If he were to take the general manager position, his dreams over the past few years would be dashed.

"Kunsheng, you know the situation of my family. This son of mine, I’ve lost hope. Hoping he’d turn back from his wild ways, hoping he’d follow in his father’s footsteps, unless the sun rises in the west or the Earth stops turning.

I estimate that even on the day I close my eyes, he won’t inherit the company. Rather than this, I’d better hand it over to someone I trust. Moreover, Mr. Xu saved my life, it’s an act of great kindness that money can’t measure. Just as a repayment to him, I can retire peacefully. Handing over the empire I’ve fought to build over half my life in this way would be a worthy end!" A wide smile spread across Qian Wantong’s face, as if he had come to a great realization.

"If Chairman Qian thinks highly of me, I’m very pleased, but I’m really not suitable for this. Besides, I saved you entirely because of Qian Duoduo. I treat him like a brother and admire your character, so that’s why I saved you, not expecting any reward. I believe one day Qian Duoduo will come around and be willing to inherit your estate!" Xu Xiangbei said earnestly from the side, his eyes clear, without a hint of falsehood.

"I’ve spent a lifetime, crossing paths with countless people. As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people. I’ve been in the business world for so many years, no storm has knocked me down, because I have discerning eyes, able to spot and judge people, know their nature, observe their actions, study their spirit, name their intent.

You think my old eyes are dim and I would misjudge? Mr. Xu, don’t be so modest; I see three strengths in you, and these three strengths are essential for success in business."

Wisdom sparkled in Qian Wantong’s eyes. At this moment, he seemed to return to the era of navigating the business world, the chairman of Shengshi Business, a hero who directs the empire.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei not speaking, he continued to add, "Emotional loyalty, integrity, unconventional approach!"

"Elder Qian, where are you getting this? I don’t possess these traits!" Xu Xiangbei changed from his usual style, becoming unexpectedly modest, making Xu Wanqing beside him feel as if she had mistaken him.

"Mr. Xu is really too humble. This first point, you treated my son as a friend and, simply for this bond, saved my life from danger. If others encountered such circumstances, they would avoid it at all costs, yet you showed courage and helped; not many possess this, what is this if not emotional loyalty?

This second point, you promised my son you’d save me, and you did it, despite exhausting your True Qi and harming your health, what is this if not integrity?

This third point, from observing your actions in my home, including dining, I found you are someone who does big things, unconstrained. Therefore, in the future, you will certainly be able to navigate the business world and stand undefeated!" Qian Wantong analyzed head-to-head, leaving nothing out, truly a veteran of the business world.

"Really? Am I that good? How come I never noticed before!" Xu Xiangbei feigned a look of surprise.

Seeing his feigned innocence and humbleness, Xu Wanqing really wanted to give him a slap. He first acted humble to get Qian Wantong to praise him, and now he got his wish, yet continued to pretend.

"Um, Uncle Qian, the position of general manager at Shengshi Business is very crucial to our group. I think you should carefully consider it. Mr. Xu, I also find him good, but maybe it’s just his medical skills; in terms of business, he’s never been involved in this field, it’s completely a cross-sector move, I don’t think he has the capability!"

Huang Kunsheng, from aside, was sweating profusely, constantly devising a strategy to respond, trying to speak in a gentle tone to avoid confrontation.

"Kunsheng, don’t you know Uncle Qian’s judgment?" Qian Wantong’s tone was calm, neither fast nor slow.

"I don’t mean that. What I mean is Mr. Xu can start from smaller positions, like being a department manager or supervisor first, to accumulate experience. Once mature enough, he can gradually enter higher levels of the company; there’s no need to start as the general manager of the group right away. This way many people would be unconvinced, and besides, if he lacks experience, any mistakes would be a huge loss to the company!" Huang Kunsheng’s tone was subtle, with clear implications throughout.

Qian Wantong pondered for a while after hearing him and continued: "I trust Mr. Xu, and I also trust my own judgement. It’s okay, isn’t the company still yours? By then, you can assist him well, and there won’t be any big problems!"

"No, Uncle Qian, the key is that the general manager position is too crucial. And once your shares are given to him, he will be the largest shareholder. Then if he convenes a shareholders meeting, he will basically have the final say, and we won’t be able to take charge!" Huang Kunsheng was determined not to give up; he had been aiming at this position for too long.

"I believe Brother Xu can do it; he’s very capable!" Qian Duoduo also chimed in from the side.

Xu Wanqing, however, remained silent, saying nothing, as anything she said at this moment would be inappropriate.

"How about this, I’ll think about it, okay? Elder Qian." Frankly speaking, Xu Xiangbei wasn’t completely unmoved.

However, he also had a huge mess at home and was already a president of a company. Adding another general manager position, he really didn’t know if he could manage.

Moreover, with this arrangement, he felt his motives for saving might not be pure. He wanted to go back and consult Gu Xiangyi’s opinion.
