A trace of surprise appeared on Zhao Youlin's face. He never expected Zhao Youming to dare take such a big gamble with his former master. That was very brave of him!
"So you agree with the bet. In the end, he fulfilled his words and managed to reach the top 100 colleges. He won the bet, right?”
The former master nodded. He smiled flatly as he said, "At that moment, I never thought that the boy could really make it, so I was careless..."
"Crackling? Grandpa, you mean you underestimated the boy?!" A light flashed across Zhao Youlin's head. He narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked at the former master, he sneered, "No, that's not the case. Grandpa, I'm afraid the bet back then wasn't that simple, was it?”
The expression of the former master stiffened. Zhao Youlin managed to catch his expression even though it happened in just the blink of an eye. With that, Zhao Youlin grew more confident with her own speculations.
"Oh? How is it not that simple? Youlin, tell me.”
Zhao Youlin looked at the sharp gaze of the former master and said mockingly, "Grandfather, we are both reasonable people, so I won't beat around the bush. You really have laid your eyes on Zhao Youming and are planning to cultivate him so that he becomes the heir of the Zhao Enterprise, right?”
The former master slightly raised one of his bushy eyebrows. He grinned as he asked, "Youlin, what makes you think so?”
"Grandfather, even though you have retired and worked behind the scenes and have not directly managed the Zhao Enterprise for many years, your prestige within the Zhao Enterprise remains. Let me ask you, why is such a person so easily deceived by a very young and inexperienced child, huh?”
When Zhao Youlin said this, she deliberately paused for a moment. He threw a sarcastic and seductive gaze, as sharp as a sword piercing the former master standing before him. "At that time, when Zhao Youming proposed a gamble, you thought that if the boy could get into the world's own top-ranked college, this meant that he at least had potential. If so, you can let him gain experience in the company, and train him to be your successor. Conversely, if Zhao Youming fails you, you can push Li Hongyu and her two children out of the Zhao family without a doubt.”
When Zhao Youlin watched the former teacher's expression darken, she knew she had guessed it correctly. He looked up and said seductively, "Being scared is an admirable quality that belongs only to young and experienced people. They become arrogant once they achieve success. But, if they are overpowered by their own courage, that is called carelessness. In other words, regardless of winning or losing bets, you will not suffer losses, Am I right, grandfather?”
After the former master finished listening to Zhao Youlin's analysis, his glistening gaze that shone with wisdom and good judgment remained. He doesn't dispute it. His silence meant that he agreed with Zhao Youlin's words.
When Zhao Youlin saw this, she suddenly felt a chill creep up on her body. He looked at the former teacher's serious face, and he said stiffly, "Grandfather, I guess your only fault is me, right? You have three sons. My father has no children, Zhao Shuncheng has three, while Zhao Shunchang has Zhao Yifei, adding up to a total of four children.”
Zhao Youlin closed her eyes. He sighed in relief, "Of the four children, you have given Zhao Yifei all your priorities. This was because he was male, and his background was not stained. Unfortunately, after you've watched him for a short time, you realize that he's a useless person. Furthermore, you placed your hopes on Zhao Youming. Although she did not come from a respectable background, she was at least male. As long as he's talented, and judging from your character, you don't really take his background. So, I'm not surprised at all if you have that thought in your mind.”
'I, as your choice of choice to become an heir?' Zhao Youlin sneered at herself.
"Well, I'd like to know the reason why you did it You announced me to be your immediate successor in public during your grand birthday party, and even did everything possible to "kidnap" I went to the Zhao Enterprise, but now brought another potential heir. Like what Uncle Xiao mentioned, do you really want to use it to train me or..." Zhao Youlin threw a bone-chilling look at the man opposite her. "Or, you want to watch the two candidates kill each other so that the one who survives will be crowned as the leader of Zhao Enterprise?”
The atmosphere suddenly turned into silence after Zhao Youlin finished her words. The young woman and the old man stood opposite each other. They look at each other.
Finally, after some time, someone took the lead to break the silence.
"Haha...!" The former master laughed out loud, and his laughter rang out throughout the room. Zhao Youlin, who had expected a heated verbal battle, was struck dumb on the spot.
Before Zhao Youlin returned to her senses, the former master had already resumed his despicable appearance. He bowed closer to Zhao Youlin shamelessly, he grinned as he said, "Youlin young.”
A flash of light was caught in Zhao Youlin's eyes. She glared at him, "Speak clearly. Don't talk like you're from another planet.”
The former master withdrew his hand sadly. He stuttered, "Alright. I admit that I used to have thoughts of cultivating Zhao Youming to become my successor. This was because he was the only child of his generation in the Zhao family who... Ahem... at that time, I didn't know you were so great, so adorable, so.”
"Huh?”
The former master was silenced as Zhao Youlin glared at him loudly. He smiled flatly and said, "Alright, this is generally the whole situation. I am not a conservative. But, if possible, I do not want the fruits of my efforts that I have spent working hard for most of my life to fall into the hands of outsiders. Therefore, I want to choose the best among the children to be the heir of the Zhao Enterprise. Your sister is completely out of the question. I never considered it once. Yifei had been spoiled by his mother, he also failed. Actually ... My first choice was .. you.”
"Me?" Zhao Youlin froze. He had imagined some circumstances but never did he think he would be the former master's first choice.
The former master seemed to have speculated what Zhao Youulin was thinking in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a stiff old man. I don't mind if my successor is male or female. Most importantly, they should be able to, be able to support the Zhao family foundation and remain independent. Unfortunately, just when I was about to take you to the company, you and that kid are from your family..."
