Xie Wenkai picked up his phone and looked at it for a full ten seconds before he picked up the call and answered, “Dad.”

“Xie Wenkai…” Xie Guofu paused for a moment. He had a lot to say and was prepared to say it. However, when the call was picked up, he didn’t want to talk too much. All his words turned into a sigh. “You’ve grown up. You’re the pride of our Xie family. I’m proud of you. Work hard. In the future, the Six Blessings Corporation… will depend on you.”

“Dad…” Xie Wenkai almost cried at this moment. His father didn’t blame him!

“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, we’ll have a good chat,” Xie Guofu said.

“Okay, Dad. Actually, Dad, I…” Xie Wenkai wanted to say something. However, Xie Guofu interrupted him, “No need to explain. I understand. Go and see your mother. If she’s sad, you should comfort her. That’s all. We’ll talk about the other things when I get back.”

“Okay, Dad. Take your medicine on time.” Xie Wenkai reminded Xie Guofu before hanging up the phone.

When Xie Wenkai walked out of the meeting room, there was no one else in the corridor. Only Cao Shaowei and Madam Xie were standing at the end of the corridor as if they were talking about something. Cao Shaowei heard footsteps and turned around to take a look. Then, he said something to Madam Xie. By the time Xie Wenkai walked over, Cao Shaowei had already taken the nearest elevator downstairs.

“Mom.” Xie Wenkai walked over and called Madam Xie.

“I’m not your mom!” Madam Xie immediately retorted.

“Mom, are you crying?” Xie Wenkai asked again, but Madam Xie still retorted, “I’m not!” As she spoke, she wiped the corner of her eyes and was about to leave, but Xie Wenkai stopped her. Madam Xie said with a straight face, “Get out of the way!”

“Mom, don’t do this.” Xie Wenkai didn’t know how to persuade her. Madam Xie raised her head and looked at Xie Wenkai. “Do what? You’re so capable. I can’t control you anymore. I don’t care anymore, okay? Get out of the way!”

“Mom, no matter what, we’re family. What are you doing?” Xie Wenkai had just finished speaking when Madam Xie agitatedly said, “You still know that we’re family? And you still know that I’m your mother? Then why are you doing this to me? Why? Why are you doing this to me?!” She shouted and she even hit Xie Wenkai on the shoulder. Then, she was the first to break down. She hugged Xie Wenkai and cried. As she cried, she asked Xie Wenkai why he was treating her like this.

This was the first time in Madam Xie’s life that she cried in her son’s arms.

“Mom, we will be fine in the future. We will be fine…” Xie Wenkai hugged his mother and comforted her in a low voice. His eyes were also slightly red. Xie Wenkai knew that it was over. He knew that with Jiang Tong’s help, he had completely won!

Just as the board meeting ended, Xie Wenkai’s forceful seizure of power in the Six Blessings Corporation shocked the entire Z City’s business circle! The more important the person was, the earlier people would know about their news. This meeting was not a secret meeting. There was nothing to hide. There were more than 30 people who participated in the meeting, including the assistant secretaries! Each of them had their own network of interests, and today’s board meeting was an earth-shattering event for the Six Blessings Corporation! It was a huge matter! So the news spread even faster! It was not because Xie Wenkai broke the image of being obedient and sensible since that would merely add fuel to the fire of the gossip. More importantly, as the leading company in City Z, the Six Blessings Corporation was rooted in City Z and its influence was spread across the country. Its own network of interests was extremely huge!

Jingyun Fashion company, CEO’s office.

Zhou Jingyun was typing on the keyboard, preparing to send an internal email to the entire company. At this moment, his phone rang. He paused for a moment, picked up the phone, took a look, and picked up the call. He answered, “Zhou Mingfei?”

“Big Brother, have you heard?” Zhou Mingfei’s tone was very strange, it carried a hint of inexplicable excitement. It felt as though he wanted to share some big gossip with Zhou Jingyun.

“Heard about what?” Zhou Jingyun frowned, somewhat puzzled. The first thing Zhou Mingfei said when he opened his mouth was ‘Have you heard?’ with no context whatsoever, so it made Zhou Jingyun puzzled.

“Big Brother, you don’t know?” It was Zhou Mingfei’s turn to be puzzled.

“What should I know? What are you talking about?” Zhou Jingyun’s patience was limited. He said to Zhou Mingfei on the other end of the phone, “If you have something to say, just say it. If you don’t, I’ll hang up.”
