In fact, Zhao Youlin's Sixth Indra had sounded right.
Before he finished speaking, the former master came to his side in a despicable manner once again. He grinned as he said, "Just when I thought I could not find an heir for the rest of my life, and could only watch most of my hard work being taken away by outsiders sadly, she said, Youlin, you show up!”
'Suffering...? Why can't I see a little misery from you at all?’
"You're not as shy as you used to be. You even give up on the person you have lived and died for. You have become mature, wise, and courageous. I may not know how sad your life was in the Mu Family In those days to the point of causing a great change in you, all I know is you were always very capable and intelligent, he said, You will be the best candidate of heirs.”
'How should I tell you this? The reason why that person changed so drastically was entirely because they were a completely different person inside...'
Before Zhao Youlin finished making a joke for herself, the former master had fully applied the praise used in the three-stage ethical game that she had been pursuing lately. He looked solemn as he patted Zhao Youlin on the shoulder, and said, "Youlin, I have high hopes for you. Don't disappoint me.”
To be honest, I didn't really feel interested in being placed with such a heavy and uninteresting expectation.’
The former master ignored Zhao Youlin's increasingly dark expression. He added happily, "Youlin, you have to work harder so that you can become a qualified successor immediately. With that, you and your dad can take over the company, while I can spend time with my grandkids and enjoy my retirement. Sigh, when I was young, I worked hard to earn money and missed out on a lot of fun. Once you become full, I can finally go traveling. I wonder which country would be a good place to travel. Hawaiian? The french? Recently, I heard from old Zhao that Egypt is not a bad place either..."
'So, this is what you're really after, Yes?!’
"Grandfather!" Blood vessels appeared in Zhao Youlin's head. He forcibly resisted the urge to hit a certain one on his face. He cursed it for himself.
'This cunning old coot, his eloquent tongue sounds as sweet as a song! In the end, he only wanted me as cheap labor so he could enjoy his life. Dream!’
"What's wrong?" The former master turned his head and asked innocently.
'Damn her! How dare he ask why?!’
Zhao Youlin wanted to let out a skin of laughter. He said with a frown, "Grandfather, I don't understand why you are convoluted like this. Since you have given up on Zhao Youming as the heir of the Zhao Enterprise, and you also know that even though he looks dignified on the outside, he is actually a wicked and cunning person. Why do you still want to complicate yourself by placing it in the company?”
Former master Chokes. He immediately looked a little embarrassed. "Don't I tell you that this is something we've agreed on for a long time? How embarrassing would it be if I took back my words? You see, I'm old. All my life I have been an honest person. If I were to reject the boy's request at this point, and he spilled it all out of anger, an outsider would say that I used my seniority status to avoid admitting defeat in betting. I might as well be called a dishonorable elder, as well as someone who broke his promise. If that happens, my legacy will be destroyed and my reputation will be lost forever! Youlin, I believe that you also do not want to see me end so tragically, right?”
The corner of Zhao Youlin's mouth twitched. "So?”
"So, I promised to let him join the company so that he could be trained for a period of time. After all, you and your father are in charge of the company now. You can find an excuse and send him out when the time comes. As simple as that.”
In other words, what the former master said about training him so that he could handle the company better was all a lie.
The reason why Zhao Youming was able to join the company smoothly was entirely because of this old coot who was unable to bear the shame and regretted his decision on what He had promised him!
Fucking old coot! He was the one who created chaos and now, he even had the wishful thinking to ask his descendants to help clean up the mess!
The more Zhao Youlin thought about this, the more furious she became. The way he glared at the former master was getting annoyed.
The former master felt a chill crawl down his spine under Zhao Youlin's gaze. He could not help but cough dry. He smiled in an apologetic manner and said, "Youlin, don't be angry. Although I have established a position for him in the company, the position as head of the development department is an idle job, which you also know well. As long as you are careful and do not fall into any of his plans, he will not cause havoc.”
'You make it sound like a simple matter. When Zhao Youming joined the company, he had made some efforts to plan for me. Do you think he looks like a guy who keeps things to himself and stays out of trouble?!’
Hold it! A bold conjecture suddenly flashed across Zhao Youlin's mind. He looked up and looked at his former master. She asked him hesitantly, "Grandfather, did you set up an empty post for Zhao Youming on purpose?”
The former master grinned and returned his gaze, "Isn't he the smart Alec? Then, I will make him guess why I let a capable person handle the job with little use. If he is really smart, he should work calmly. The Zhao Family had no shortage of people like him. On the contrary, if he is stubborn and insists on grabbing things that are not his, he cannot blame me for not showing mercy back then.”
Zhao Youlin was silent for a while before she sighed and said, "Grandfather, it's very unethical for you.”
After giving someone hope, he still wanted to push that person into the hole. He sighed to himself at the fact that the older man remained, still the wiser one.
"Youlin, you're wrong about that. This is called. urm. If you think I'm unethical, it shows that you're still very naive. In the future, you really have to work hard to learn everything!”
Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes as she withdrew. He did not want to hear the old man continue to preach his mislead. After all, regardless of what, this man still had a lot to tell him.
"Well, this thing's gonna end here. Today, I came to look for you because of something else. The matter related to Zhao Youming was only related to this matter." After Zhao Youlin calmed herself down, she remembered the true purpose of her visit to the former master. He sighed and told her this.
This time, the former master was the one who was shocked. He had thought that Zhao Youlin had come looking for him purely because of Zhao Youming. He never expected anything else.
"Oh? What is this about?”
"It's about ..my mother and my father's son. People who don't succeed..." Zhao Youlin took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her tone smooth. He looked at the former master, whose expression had changed drastically, and he uttered each word clearly, "The child who did not last twenty years ago..."
