Chapter 146: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Ming laughed and said: "Haha, this is the same principle as being a person—without making a sound, just get the thing done."

Xiao Yunzhe helplessly said: "Ah, truth is everywhere in life, Dad, I've learned it."

Xiao Ming nodded satisfied: "Hmm, during this time your progress has been quite big—even Liang Ting, who is always critical, can't stop praising you."

Xiao Yunzhe heard it, his heart felt joyful; hard work is nothing, being able to get Dad's recognition makes everything worthwhile.

At this moment, Xiao Ming raised his head, looked at him, and said: "Son, Dad has a matter for you to handle."

"What matter?" Xiao Yunzhe asked doubtfully.

The matter of previously looking for his little grandfather, he knew that was Dad's test of him; now the test passed, could it be that Dad wants to assign him some important task?

To undertake a great career has always been Xiao Yunzhe's dream.

Although Dad is very wealthy, he doesn't want to be a playboy who only eats, drinks, and has fun; he wants to be someone like Dad, useful to family and society.

Since he entered the company, he has been studying hard, not wanting to disappoint his father, nor himself; thanks to his efforts, he has indeed achieved good results.

When he first entered the company, many people didn't like him, thinking he got in through connections; but with time as witness, everyone saw his ability and gradually recognized it.

Next came those covert struggles.

Although Xiao Yunzhe is young, he is still a top student from a prestigious university; he wouldn't fear those.

He met each move with a counter; after a while, those people realized they weren't his match and gradually calmed down.

Even some people gradually came to admire him.

After these days of tempering, he thought, even if Dad gave him some task, he could surely complete it splendidly.

Seeing Xiao Yunzhe's attitude, Xiao Ming nodded satisfied: "Seeing your growth is not bad, Dad is truly happy."

"Son, guess what figure your dad's net worth is!"

"This… I can't guess." Xiao Yunzhe shook his head.

His dad, that's truly hiding his wealth!

Xiao Ming thought: "Actually, the exact figure, I myself am not clear either; but domestically, the market value of enterprises I solely control is at least forty or fifty million billions."

"Besides these, there are also many shares of listed companies, like Alibaba, Tengxu, etc.; there are many, I won't list them all— in short, a lot of money!"

"Moreover, there are some overseas funds; I have investments all over the country, possibly amounting to over a hundred million billions."

Xiao Yunzhe was so shocked that the chess piece in his hand lingered, not falling.

After a while, he murmured: "Over a hundred million... billions..."

He knew his dad was wealthy, but didn't expect it to be exaggerated to this extent; this is something he never dared to imagine.

For a moment, he doubted whether he was dreaming, but this is clearly real.

This is hardly just the richest person of Wuxingguo; saying he's the world's richest is not an exaggeration—this truly exceeds Xiao Yunzhe's cognition.

"Grand, it's truly too grand!"

"This isn't even the real data; it's Dad's rough estimate—if everything were tallied, how much would there be?"

Xiao Yunzhe thought, Xiao Ming's words surely still hold back something.

Before Xiao Yunzhe could recover from his shock, Xiao Ming spoke again: "Back then, I never expected to have a child in this world; making money was purely out of love for my career, and having no heir, I wondered what to do with all that money, so I set a goal for myself—once achieved, I would retire."

"The goal was already achieved; when Yuchun found me, I was just about to retire."

"Before that, I had already arranged people to manage these assets; but after you came, my plan had to change."

"I have children, so naturally everything of mine should be left to my children."

At this moment, Xiao Ming raised his head, looked sternly at Xiao Yunzhe: "Yunzhe, Dad is old and doesn't want to bother with the company's troubles anymore; the company is handed over to you to manage—are you willing?"

"Dad!"

Xiao Yunzhe heard it, feeling somewhat helpless; that assets of over a hundred million billions are what countless people dream of, yet to his dad it's become a trouble.

After the helplessness, he belatedly realized Dad's meaning: to let him take over the company?

"This is really too exciting, isn't it?"

Xiao Yunzhe, like Xiao Ming, is a person with extremely strong career drive.

"Dad, this is my dream, but if I go manage the company now, can I do it?" Xiao Yunzhe felt a bit guilty, after all, his experience is really too little; managing a company is no joke.

"What's not possible?" Xiao Ming said dismissively: "These industries will eventually be yours; while I'm not that old yet, I can still help you—can't just hand over my lifelong success to others."

Before, he didn't care much, but after having a few children, he started to care.

Everything he earned through hard work naturally should go to his children.

Both daughters have no interest in business, so managing the company can only be entrusted to the son.

Perhaps those he previously cultivated will feel dissatisfied, but what does it matter? His assets being inherited by his son is reasonable and proper.

What is this? Other tycoons, to have their children inherit their businesses, keep having son after son.

The notion that a father's everything is to be inherited by his children is deeply ingrained in people's minds; Xiao Ming cannot escape it either.

He is only forty-two, with time to accompany his son's growth.

"I think you also guessed it—this time I had you look for your little grandfather just to test you, to see your independent handling ability; you did well." Xiao Ming gazed firmly at his son: "Son, you are my Xiao Ming's son; you must believe you have the ability to stand on your own."

"Okay." Xiao Yunzhe heard it and firmly nodded.

Exactly, he is Xiao Ming's son; with Dad around for anything, what is there to fear?

Having Dad as a strong backing, he no longer needs to be hesitant as before when doing things; his abilities also find a place to be displayed, and he discovers he is still quite good.

"Alright, then get ready." Xiao Ming nodded: "From now on, I will gradually push you to the forefront, letting you gradually take over everything of mine; don't worry, as long as you think it's right, go ahead and do it confidently."
