"Business matters still require the hand of a man," Xia Rongsheng continued.

"Girls can't do business. Girls should just focus on beauty, shopping, drinking tea and playing cards. When dad is gone in the future, your cousin will be able to protect you. Dad raised Qiming for your own good."

"Yes," Feng Ping nodded.

Xia Xizhi refuted seriously,

"Mom and Dad, your thinking is not right!"

"My sister is an outstanding graduate of Gangcheng University. You haven't even brought her into the company. How do you know she can't do business?"

"If it really doesn't work out, sister can definitely find a capable son-in-law and train him to be your assistant. The child will have our Xia family surname, which is better than relying on an outsider for the Xia family, right?"

"Why can girls only do beauty treatments and play cards? Why can't girls do business?"

This made Feng Ping unhappy.

"What are you talking about? Your cousin is not an outsider. Qiming would never cheat our Xia family. Besides, isn't it good for a girl to beautify herself and play cards? Why would she work so hard to manage a company?"

Xia Xizhi was speechless.

"Feng Qiming secretly took kickbacks on several projects he worked on for our company. Now he's acting like this. If the entire Xia family's assets fall into his hands, how will my sister and I be safe?"

"Besides, Feng Qiming went to HKU because of his father's donations, but my sister got in on her own merit. How can she be worse than him?"

"If Dad doesn't believe me, you can have someone investigate him privately. In the past, wouldn't Dad have personally supervised such a large project or entrusted it to a trusted confidant? Feng Qiming has only been in the company for a year. I don't know a person's true intentions, so I don't think it's appropriate to hand it over to him so easily."

Feng Ping was very unhappy.

"You kid, I think you are just prejudiced against your cousin!"

Xia Rongsheng's expression changed slightly. Remembering what Secretary Zhao had said to him, he picked up his phone and made a call.

"Secretary Zhao, I remember two months ago you told me that there seemed to be something wrong with a project Qiming was in charge of. You said that based on the accounts, he might have taken kickbacks, right?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I told President Xia at the time. President Xia trusted him too much. Since President Xia mentioned it, I will speak frankly. He is not only involved in this project..."

The person on the other end of the phone continued to say something, and Xia Rongsheng's face became more and more gloomy.

"I've been investigating privately. He took at least three million in kickbacks from four projects this year, not counting other things... If President Xia doesn't believe me, you can have someone investigate."

"okay, I get it."

After Xia Rongsheng hung up the phone, his face was very gloomy and he didn't say anything.

Feng Ping also heard what Secretary Zhao said and was in disbelief.

"Impossible? Qiming isn't that kind of person. He's such an honest and upright person, how could he embezzle so much money in a year?"

"Mom, people can pretend."

Seeing that Xia Rongsheng's attitude had changed, Xia Xizhi made a final attack.

"Mom and Dad, there was a reason why I didn't like him before. When I was little, he said that Dad couldn't give birth to a son and had no brothers, and that our Xia family would be his sooner or later. He also asked me to please him, so I hit him."

"what?!"

Xia Rongsheng was completely furious, seeing Feng Ping was unhappy,

"He's great! He's already thinking about our family when he was so young. I guess it was your good brother who taught him that! Ha!"

Feng Ping felt guilty for a moment and opened her mouth but didn't dare to say anything.

"My own daughter has to curry favor with him? I trained him to provide a support system for my two daughters, not to let him steal my daughter's property! It's a waste of my efforts to train him!"

"Starting tomorrow, I will personally lead Wanrou in the company. That's it." Xia Rongsheng's words could not be refused.

The matter was settled.

Xia Wanrou was in a daze until the end.

After the matter was done, before Xia Xizhi was about to leave, he took Xia Wanrou to the small garden to chat.

"Sister, do you have a boyfriend?"

Xia Wanrou paused, then quickly grabbed her hand as if feeling guilty, lowering her voice.

"Uh, how do you know? Did you see it? Don't tell mom and dad..."

"I didn't see it, but I heard that he doesn't seem that simple. You have to be careful with him."

Xia Wanrou coughed lightly.

"Ahem, don't worry, he's very well behaved."

"By the way, Xizhi, do you really think I can manage a company? As a woman, I'm afraid..." Xia Wanrou looked unconfident.

"Why not? No one can manage a company right away. Isn't Feng Qiming also being trained step by step by his father?"

Xia Xizhi patted Xia Wanrou's shoulder and said firmly,

"When you were in school, you could beat men and get first place in the school exam. Why do you feel that you are not as good as men when you work in a management company? Sister, you need to be more confident!"

"I remember that when you were in school, you were gentle but not timid, and you were confident and high-spirited. When did you start to become unsure? It seems that after you graduated and got married, your personality changed and you became timid."

Xia Wanrou suddenly stopped.

Yes, she didn't seem like this before. When did she start to become cowardly and inferior?

It seemed that after she married Lin Wen, he had been attacking her intentionally or unintentionally, making her less and less confident.

"Sister, just go for it. Even if you're not as good as Dad, you won't cheat our Xia family. Having you as a backer is better than relying on an outsider. If you can't do better, just keep doing the same business."

"Or you can find an excellent secretary to help you. If it's suitable, you can bring him into the Xia family as a son-in-law, which would kill two birds with one stone." Xia Xizhi smiled and winked teasingly.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Wanrou glared at Xia Xizhi.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll do my best and I'll be your supporter from now on!" Xia Wanrou's eyes showed determination.

Xia Xizhi left with peace of mind.

.....

In the small garden, Xia Wanrou turned around to go back to her room, but was pulled to the corner by a figure.

Nan Yu, dressed as a gardener, held Xia Wanrou in his arms. His tone was different from the usual obedient one, but more aggressive.

"Sister, you want a secretary? I graduated from Harvard Business School. I can be your secretary."

Xia Wanrou was frightened, and when she came to her senses, her pupils dilated.

"What? Which school did you say you graduated from?! Are you lying to me?"

A Harvard graduate becomes a male model?

"I have a master's degree in both business and law from Harvard, and all my credentials are in order. Am I qualified to be your sister's secretary?"

"You, who are you?" Xia Wanrou's eyes showed more vigilance.

......

The day of the kidnapping soon arrived.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Xia Xizhi sent a message to Li Xiao early in the morning before the appointment, asking him to go to Saudi Arabia to buy the pink diamond for her.

The auction will be held tomorrow, so he will have to fly back at least the day after tomorrow.

She would surely be on the high seas by the time he returned.
