Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Sheng Yang knelt down without hesitation.

Sheng Yimin's voice rang out from above: "How dare you! You bypassed me and contacted Uncle Qin privately!

In order to cancel the marriage registration, the listing plan was delayed!

Meet those shady people in the society!

In order to find someone, Mr. Yao used his connections and alerted the military in Country Z...

Is this how you abuse your rights?"

The metal head of the crutch was pressed against Sheng Yang's temple.

He closed his eyes.

“What’s the difference between what you do and those who use their privileges? The interests of shareholders and investors, not profits?

Is this how I taught you?

And what about those videos online?

Have you ever thought about how others would speculate about these things?

Will you be criticized for this?

What kind of adverse impact will such a video have on our Shengjia's nickel laterite nickel ore project in Country Z?

And why do good people disappear?"

Sheng Yang said nothing.

Sheng Yimin slowly moved the crutch onto his back.

He stabbed it hard.

"Say!"

"Because—" Sheng Yang looked up.

Sheng Yimin said coldly, "Why? Because she is a person without worldly values ​​and from a different world than you. Only such a person would disappear from your side."

There are invisible barriers between people and between classes.

Although it's invisible and intangible, this barrier is like an iron wall. Do you know why you lose control and disorder? Because someone from outside the class has come in and brought chaos to you.

"But grandpa, this world is multidimensional, diverse and macroscopic," Sheng Yang said.

"Sophistry..." Sheng Yimin sighed, "I never thought... after thirty years, you and your father would both encounter something like this."

Sheng Yang straightened his spine,

He refuted with a patient but firm attitude: "Grandpa, she is not a worthless person. Besides, I am not a person like my father, and she is not a person like my mother."

"Oh?" Sheng Yimin moved his crutch away and tapped it on the ground.

"She is my wife. She is from the Su family..."

Sheng Yimin interrupted him: "I don't want to hear the whole story. As the elder of the Sheng family, I care about the prosperity and decline of the entire family! Since you said you are not a person like your father, don't indulge in such petty love.

I'd like to know your plans for the future of the IPO and your response to the online criticism of the Country Z nickel mine project.

Sheng Yang, don't talk about what's done—it's meaningless to talk about past grudges now."

Sheng Yang was stunned for a moment before explaining, "Grandpa, the listing wasn't delayed that long. Some work wasn't ready due to objective reasons. After evaluating various factors, we decided to abandon the IPO attempt in the second half of this year and postpone it to the first half of next year. The nickel mine project in Country Z is proceeding smoothly, and public opinion is under control. I'll be taking the CFO and the business department on a business trip there next month. I've also made an appointment with Director Liang to discuss this, so don't worry too much."

Sheng Yimin raised his eyebrows. "Have you cleaned up all the Su family affairs? I heard you sent someone to the island the Su family rented overseas?"

"Yes."

Sheng Yimin placed his hand on the handle of his cane and said in a deep voice, "Now that we've done this, we can't leave any hidden dangers. If we have something to hold back, we'll have to find a way to constrain them. The Su family may not be trustworthy either."

Sheng Yang: "I sent two bodyguards, one male and one female, to follow them to the island and keep an eye on them."

Sheng Yimin nodded: "Sending people to the Su family's territory can indeed avoid a lot of trouble and criticism. Sheng Yang - the higher you go, the colder it gets.

"Based on the things you did in secret at the resort, if Uncle Qin exposed them... how do you think you, a CPPCC member and vice president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce, would cope?"

"Uncle Qin doesn't know how to do that."

"Why? You think Uncle Qin's character and reputation are trustworthy, and I've done him a favor before, so... he won't?"

Sheng Yang said nothing.

"This is certainly something that can be considered, but whether it will ultimately succeed or not—doesn't depend on Uncle Qin's character or qualities, but on where you, Sheng Yang, stand in the future."

If you become depressed and slide down like this... not only will that woman and Songxuan be left alone, but you yourself will also have no place to stand. The road to the peak of power is so crowded. If you want to give up halfway, I can assure you that you won't even have a way back down.

Sheng Yang looked up at his white-haired grandfather.

His expression was no longer as angry as before, he just looked at himself quietly.

Sheng Yang suddenly understood who the giant transformed from the "superego" that the child faced in the dream was - it was his grandfather.

Sheng Yimin stepped forward and patted his grandson on the shoulder. "Since you've enjoyed power and abused it for personal gain, from that moment on, you no longer belong to just yourself. You must bear the responsibilities and obligations that come with power—obligations to your family, to society, to your employees, and to your shareholders."

"I understand. I will do that." Sheng Yang nodded.

"I know you've disagreed with some of my statements since childhood, so I encourage you to surpass me. As long as a person is strong enough, he can make the rules he thinks are more reasonable. No matter who his woman is, no matter who the mother of his child is, as long as he is strong enough, there will be 'great scholars' who can debate and rectify the name for him.

Don't limit yourself to what's in front of you, don't spend your time on things that seem important but are meaningless, and look at the long term.

The Su family is naturally unjust, but why did they make such a choice after the incident?

Think about it, if you were in the same position you are now at the time of your wedding, instead of being a professional manager of a foreign company working outside of Yixing, do you think they would still have the courage to make that choice?

"I..." Sheng Yang understood what his grandfather meant.

Sheng Yimin looked at his grandson's thin face and reached out to help him up: "Life is short. Don't be someone who disappoints others. Be someone who others look forward to."

Sheng Yang stood up and found that Sheng Yimin was already facing the window.

The tall, white-haired old man, his back trembling slightly...

Sheng Yang couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, please take care of yourself. I'm sorry."

The branches outside the window were rustling in the north wind.

Sheng Yimin recalled the night his eldest son passed away, and the reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes as he lay dying.

The elderly Sheng Yimin's eyes welled up, but his tone returned to its usual kindly tone: "Sheng Yang, I know you're a strong-willed child. There are some truths you may not understand at your age. But Grandpa wants to tell you—no matter how capable or talented a person is, they may still have to face things in their life that are beyond their control, such as the uncertainty of life and death... Persistence is a double-edged sword. It's a driving force, but it's also a shackle.

Go back and think about it carefully."

"I've taken note of everything you said," Sheng Yang said.

Sheng Yimin turned his back to his grandson.

No looking back.

He just said softly, "Go out, manage Yixing well, and be a good father!"
