Chapter 242

"This was decided by Father. He hasn't said anything yet, how can it be changed?" Erwin was the first to disagree with the second brother's arrangement.

Andre smiled: "I am only thinking of the company, and I didn't say I wanted to take away big brother's vice president position. My meaning is that we can add another one.

Big brother keeps the title, while the other one is responsible for the company's affairs."

"Then doesn't that mean you're directly sidelining big brother?" Sonia chuckled.

The third sister, Ai Fu, blinked her eyes but didn't speak. The old master himself also sat expressionless, looking deep in thought.

"Actually, I think the second brother's opinion is quite good." Eric said with a smile: "I didn't have much interest in these company affairs to begin with. During the time in the United States, everything was left to the people below to manage. The title of vice president was basically just a nominal status.

If you really have a good candidate, Andre, for the sake of the company, I have no objections."

Since the person involved had no objections, it was time for the person who makes the decisions to speak.

Although the old master had already retired, the majority of the equity in Albert Real Estate Company was still in his hands, so his word was still final.

And he didn't seem very opposed to his second son's proposal: "Who is the person you are recommending? Do I know them?"

"It's Mark from the human resources department. You know him; he's also an old employee who has been with the company for over ten years. He is steady and reliable."

The old master nodded: "This person is indeed trustworthy, and his seniority and experience are sufficient."

Erwin frowned: "Father, are you just going to let big brother..."

The old master turned his head and looked at him: "What, do you also want to enter the company's decision-making layer?"

Stunned by the old master's gaze, Erwin was shocked, then said: "Do whatever you want then."

The old master looked at his eldest son again: "Eric, I know you will suffer a loss with this arrangement, but for the sake of the company..."

"I understand." Eric smiled and interrupted his father's words, "I am already well-provided for, and I don't need more money. Besides, the money my son and daughter earn as celebrities is much more than the dividends I get as vice president, so whether considering it personally or for the company, I have no objections to this arrangement."

These words were not just for his father to hear; they were actually also for Andre.

As the eldest son in the family, Eric never liked fighting for power and profit since he was young. He always considered his younger brothers and sisters; when he was small, he gave up toys, and when he grew up, he gave up power and influence in the company.

Originally, he thought that staying in the United States for so many years could make Andre relax his vigilance against him, but he didn't expect...

However, objectively speaking, it was a fact that he had been neglecting his duties in the United States these years, and the branch's profits had declined.

He just wasn't cut out for this; on the contrary, the second brother was the true business genius. Only in his hands could the company be carried forward even further.

"Big brother, thank you for understanding." Andre stood up, wanting to give Eric a hug.

Eric naturally stood up to respond, and the two brothers hugged tightly; those who didn't know would think they had a great relationship.

Luo Ni watched from the side, her eyelids twitching, thinking to herself that she had only seen these plotlines in those palace dramas before; she didn't expect to be a party to it herself now.

Looking at it now, of the old master's five heirs, the eldest had no intention of fighting for power, the fourth was idle, and the third and fifth had their own careers; none of them could get a hand in the company.

With the old master retired, the company could be said to be completely grasped in Andre's hands.

It is worth mentioning that the old master himself seemed to tacitly approve of Andre taking power.

Emotionally, he naturally wanted to distribute it equally among his five children, but the company couldn't be divided into five parts, and the assets couldn't be divided into five parts either. He could only wrong the majority for now and look for other compensation slowly in the future.

As soon as money is discussed, even the closest relatives will have awkward situations in their relationships to some extent.

Seeing that everyone didn't say much after the decision was made, Luo Ni took the initiative to stand up to warm up the atmosphere: "Andre, where is your Stukart studying, and how are his grades?"

Chatting about daily life is the best way to pull the relationship between two parties closer, especially chatting about each other's children; there will always be endless topics.

Andre's wife, Eliza, smiled and said: "Stukart is studying history at Oxford University, with a minor in psychology."

"Oxford University, a top student indeed." Luo Ni's eyes were full of envy.

"What about your Miss Luo Quan?" Eliza asked.

Luo Ni shook her head with a bitter smile: "Sigh, she was originally studying linguistics at the University of Tokyo, but she took it upon herself to return to China to study at some Shanghai University of Arts. She just passed the entrance exam a while ago, and she has to wait until September for school to start."

"They are both good schools." Eliza praised.

Actually, it was just polite talk. Eliza had indeed heard of the University of Tokyo, but as for that Shanghai Arts, it was unheard of.

Erwin said: "The school is actually not important. As long as an individual is hardworking and willing to learn, even if they come out of a poor school, they are still talent!"

"Hey, if you were as hardworking as you say, you wouldn't have been expelled from Cambridge University in your second year." Sonia mercilessly exposed her fourth brother's shortcomings.

Erwin glared: "What do you know? That's because Cambridge could no longer teach a genius like me, so they had to let me go home for self-study!"

"And you studied yourself into this state?" The old master also joined the ranks of mockery.

Fortunately, Erwin's ex-wife was present, so the brothers and sisters still saved him some face, only stopping at the point.

However, with Erwin's clowning around, the slightly tense atmosphere just now did indeed ease up quite a bit.

The whole family spent the afternoon in the back garden drinking tea, eating desserts, and chatting.

The women were mostly listening, while the men's conversation jumped from the development of the Albert Company to the customs and traditions around the world, and then back to the current situation in England and even Europe.

Basically, they talked about everything.

As for the children, after Kalena had fished out most of what Miss Luo Quan had to say, she went to chat with Gao Liang again.

With the two brothers accompanied by the two sisters, Miss Luo Quan, the eldest sister, became a "loner."

Glancing at her father's side, he was spitting as he told his family about his strange experiences around the world over the years, his desire for expression being exceptionally strong.

Miss Luo Quan shook her head with a light smile, stood up, and went to stroll around the back garden alone.

The back garden was filled with clusters of flowers, colorful and vibrant. Miss Luo Quan couldn't name most of the flowers, but the intertwining of various fragrances gave her the illusion of being in a fairy-tale world.

Since she was idle anyway, she opened her Bilibili livestream room.

Bullet comments:

"This stream started so unexpectedly."

"Damn it, the first spot was snatched!"

"Have you all bought houses in the livestream room?"

"Is this at some London attraction? So many flowers."

Seeing the questions in the bullet comments, Miss Luo Quan replied: "This is in my grandfather's back garden."

Bullet comments:

"??????"

"So rich it's inhumane!"

"You tell me such a large flower garden is your grandfather's back garden?"

"Even the Emperor's imperial garden wouldn't be much more than this."

"The evils of capitalism... I admit I'm jealous."

Miss Luo Quan smiled and continued to provoke them: "This is nothing; there is also a large circle of violets planted outside, the kind where you can't see the end at a glance."

"First time seeing such a fresh and refined way of showing off wealth."

"If I have sinned, the law will punish me, but please don't hurt me like this."

"So good, TMD. jpg"

"Can you take us country kids to see the world? I want to see that violet garden where you can't see the end."

Seeing the request in the bullet comments, Miss Luo Quan smiled: "You can see it, but forget it for now; it's too far away. It takes several minutes to drive from here to the front gate."

"..............."

"It's not easy to start a stream, and you hurt us loyal fans like this?"

"You win, I admit I'm jealous."

"Invisible wealth-showing is the most lethal!"

"Your gold seeds are gone!"

The bullet comments were filled with complaints. Miss Luo Quan knew it was about enough, and said: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. These are all my grandfather's property; it has nothing to do with me.

By the way, I saw my uncles, aunts, and their children today, and I found that the looks in our family are truly high; I can't find a single one who drags us down."

Bullet comments:

"Can you give us a shot?"

"I only see flowers, I don't see any people."

"Well, not showing off wealth, now you're showing off looks."

"This one is possible; watching handsome guys and beautiful girls is my favorite."

"Is the person above trying to kill everyone?"

"Look-obsessed people don't care about gender, as long as they look good."

"Wait a moment, they are chatting now. I'll send you photos later." Miss Luo Quan felt it was a bit inappropriate to just go over and film, so she refused the request.

However, at this moment, she saw the bullet comments suddenly become restless:

"I saw it!"

"So beautiful!"

"So handsome!"

"Awei is dead!"

Miss Luo Quan turned her head in confusion and saw her younger siblings walking towards her.

Gao Liang said: "Kalena was just about to call you over to chat, but then you disappeared."

"Sister Miss Luo Quan, what are you doing?" Mia asked curiously.

"I'm livestreaming, for my fans on Bilibili." Miss Luo Quan said, pointing the camera at her younger siblings, and asked: "Do you want to say hello to everyone?"

"Can I?" Mia asked with a smile.

This girl didn't seem shy at all, and she posed for the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Sister Miss Luo Quan's cousin, Mia Cedro. You can also call me Mia."

Mia's father is named Christopher Cedro, so she does not have the Albert family surname.

"So cute!"

"The voice is so sweet."

"Kawaii~~~"

"Awei is dead!"

In the bullet comments, it was a scene of Awei's death.

Mia looked at the bullet comments and asked: "What are these bullet comments saying? My Chinese is not good, I don't understand."

Kalena translated: "They are praising you for being cute."

In front of the livestream, Kalena changed back to the cold appearance she had when she first met her brothers and sisters.

Miss Luo Quan glanced at the bullet comments; these people didn't know when they had started using all-English bullet comments:

"socute"

"beautiful"

"aweiisdead"

"oh! Idead!"

Miss Luo Quan laughed out loud as she watched: "What kind of broken plastic English is this? Dare you try something more advanced."

"My English is level ten; do you think I'd tell you about simultaneous interpretation?"

"I tried my best; I even copied this from Baidu Translate first."

"Isn't it a sign of patriotism for Chinese people to have bad English?"

"Does no one care about the second sister? She has such a cool, ascetic vibe."

"I'm taking her away directly!"

"My life is worth it!"

"Don't fight with me for my wife!"

"Take all these people above away; not one of them is innocent!"

"Are you all holding a Pantao Assembly in your mouths?"

"What is this sister's name?"

"She is my fourth uncle's daughter, named Kalena. Also, Kalena's Chinese is very good." Miss Luo Quan said, looking at Kalena, but the camera was still pointed at herself: "Kalena, do you want to say hello to the Chinese friends?"

Kalena blushed: "Let... let's forget it, I'm a bit shy."

This sentence was said in Chinese.

"I know how good this Chinese is."

"Clear and articulate!"

"This accent could go record English listening tests."

"It's just outrageous."

The appearance of Miss Luo Quan's two sisters made the already stable livestream room completely explode.

The popularity soared to number one on Bilibili in a short time, the long-stagnant follower count actually showed a trend of significant growth, and gifts were also flying in rapidly.

After seeing the two sisters, it was the turn of the two brothers.

Everyone had seen Gao Liang, but it was the first time for Stukart.

If the previous bullet comments were the cheers of otaku men, the latter was completely the screams of otaku women.

In this deep and beautiful background like a sea of flowers, the two boys seemed like characters who had walked out of novels and comics.

It is hard to describe in words the psychological activities of the girls watching the livestream at this moment; just by seeing Gao Liang and Stukart's faces, they had already imagined a high-sweet heroine novel of several million words.

Gao Liang is the first male lead, Stukart is the second male lead.

With the five siblings appearing on camera together, the atmosphere of this livestream was pushed to the highest peak.

The popularity had broken through an unprecedented twenty-six million, and the bullet comments and gifts had reached the point of filling the screen continuously.

However, good times didn't last long; after this heat lasted for about ten seconds, the livestream room went black.

The bullet comments were full of "WTF" and "?".

"Did the Bilibili server crash?"

This was the audience's first reaction.

Actually, the problem was on Miss Luo Quan's side.

Although the Apple 6s in her hand was one of the best-selling phone models.

Its performance could not be compared with the various high-end machines of her past life.

Starting a livestream was no problem, but this time there were too many people watching, and the bullet comments, gift notifications, and gift effects brought a huge burden to the phone's processor.

Starting a stream already took up memory; once there were many people, the phone system just crashed and then automatically restarted.

Similar situations were actually not uncommon on Bilibili; for example, some videos with a lot of bullet comments were called phone performance testers, and those who could watch these videos smoothly were all contemporary divine machines.

Such divine machines might exist, but Miss Luo Quan's current one definitely couldn't do it.

Therefore, under high-load operation, Miss Luo Quan's phone protested by restarting, and this livestream was also forced to be interrupted.

Ps. Thanks to book friend Deng Shen for the tips, thank you!
