Chapter 408
"Who is it?" A somewhat bald man asked a question.
The middle-aged woman screaming said: "Brother Jiawang, you are in charge of Chinatown Bookstore, and you don't even know who it is?"
"Is it a book writer? I'm just a book seller. What's strange about me not knowing?" The bald man said with a face of course.
"Not just a book writer, he also won a Grammy Award yesterday. He is also a great musician. Little musician brother, can you let me see your trophy?" The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup blinked.
Wei Ming spread his hands: "Didn't bring it."
Then the woman's eyes fell below his waist.
Just because of this look, Wei Ming felt that he was dirty. Wei Lindi decisively protected her nephew behind her.
Although she knew that Xiao Ming might have more than one girlfriend, compared with the number and variety of Shi Jiahui's boyfriends, he was as pure as a new melon egg.
At this time, Shi Jiaxing, the oldest nephew of the Shi family with a horizontal face, asked a key question: "Aunt, where did you get your nephew-grandson? Didn't your eldest brother in Taiwan have no son?"
Hearing this, Old Lady Wei looked at the other party with dignity: "Shi Jiaxing, are you investigating me?"
Although the old lady had a smile on her face, Shi Jiaxing broke out in a sweat: "No, absolutely not. I just heard it from friends in Taiwan by chance."
"Aunt, my eldest brother didn't mean that. He was also worried that you would be cheated by some poor relatives who popped up from nowhere," said Shi Jiazhuang, the youngest.
Old Lady Wei mocked: "Then you can rest assured. In terms of poverty, he is the richest among the relatives present."
As soon as this was said, the four Shi family members were embarrassed, but they were somewhat unconvinced in their hearts. Fortunately, the housekeeper came over to remind them that they could eat, and the embarrassment was broken.
However, before sitting at the table, Shi Jiaxing called his own brother Shi Jiazhuang aside with the excuse of going to the bathroom.
"Youngest, the Old Buddha suddenly popped up a nephew-grandson of the same clan. This is not a good signal."
"We still have to figure out how close the relationship between this nephew-grandson and the Old Buddha is. If it is a real nephew-grandson, it would be bad," Shi Jiazhuang pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said. He was only in his thirties and looked the most human among the four.
Regarding Old Lady Wei's family property, the Shi family felt that it naturally belonged to them, especially after the various efforts (begging) of their father's generation, the old lady finally agreed to let them work in Zhiyuan Group, which also gave them the illusion that they could inherit this huge family property. After all, the old lady had no children, and they were the closest relatives.
But later, there was an extra Wei Lindi in the family, saying she was a niece from Taiwan, and a top student at Stanford, studying law!
This was already a great challenge to the nerves of several brothers. However, considering that Wei Lindi was a woman after all, her appearance only made these people double their efforts to perform in front of the old lady.
But Wei Ming is different. This is a male descendant. I'm afraid the old lady wants to turn their Shi family's industry into the Wei family's, and they won't agree.
Shi Jiazhuang said again: "However, we still have to prepare for the worst. In case she really has this idea, we can't be soft-hearted. Eldest brother, aren't you very familiar with the Zhigong Hall?"
Shi Jiaxing had mixed in the rivers and lakes when he was young. Seeing the fierce look in his brother's eyes, he nodded: "I understand what you mean. If the Old Buddha only has us relatives with the surname Shi, the ownership of this huge family property will be simple."
Shi Jiazhuang nodded: "However, we still have to investigate clearly first to see who is behind him. Just like that Wei Lindi, fortunately, the Taiwan forces behind her were investigated clearly, otherwise, if we acted rashly, I'm afraid we would also be countered."
The result of their investigation was that Wei Lindi was the illegitimate daughter of Wei Muchun and her sister-in-law. Wei Eldest's confidentiality measures were still very good, and few people knew about Wei Senhao's existence.
After the two brothers communicated, they both decided not to anger the Old Buddha, and not to be at odds with Wei Ming. At least this meal tonight must show a friendly attitude.
However, in the restaurant, Shi Jiawang was already furious because the old lady who held their life and death power told him to leave Chinatown Bookstore and hand over this business to Gong Biyang to manage in the future.
"Why, Aunt? He is just an outsider. It's not enough to give him the publishing company, and he also wants to take down my chain bookstore!" Shi Jiawang said aggrievedly.
Old Lady Wei: "This is an adjustment made for strategic purposes. The publishing house and the chain bookstore must be managed uniformly. If you don't want to leave, fine, go and be his assistant."
"Me? Be his? Assistant!" Bald Shi Jia thought, what number is he? He is just a dog of my Shi family!
The old lady said again: "The bookstore doesn't need you to be responsible, but the dividends that should be yours will not be less."
"Ah? Then it's fine." Shi Jiawang was very happy. Gold-rimmed glasses Shi Jiazhuang just wanted to say stupid. Now it is equivalent to taking your power. In the future, you will be a useless person and can be thrown away at any time.
He and his eldest brother looked at each other, indicating that they must not lose the power in their hands.
In order to avoid the old lady opening her mouth, Shi Jiazhuang changed the subject and looked at Wei Ming: "Xiao Wei, I see you are talented, which university are you from?"
Shi Jiaxing immediately showed off: "My younger brother is from Harvard."
Wei Lindi's expression was contemptuous. You don't have any forced numbers in your heart about how you got into that Harvard. If it weren't for the great-aunt donating to her alma mater Harvard for the deceased cousin, could you get in?
"Oh, Harvard prestigious school. I can't compare to this. I am from Peking University, but I am a teacher at Peking University."
"Peking University?" Several men looked at each other. There is a Tsinghua in Taiwan, but is there a Peking University?
It was Shi Jiahui who knew more about him: "It's that Peking University in the Mainland. He is a famous Mainland talent, right."
Wei Ming said modestly: "I dare not be a talent, just good at some literature, music, art, and movies."
Bald Shi Jiawang shook the not-so-much hair on his head: "Then you are very versatile. Do you dare to compete with me in martial arts?"
Wei Ming rolled up his sleeves a bit, revealing his biceps that made Melinda drool and Wei Lindi look sideways: "I am brothers with Wu Bin, the head coach of the Yanjing Martial Arts Team, and I am also good friends with kung fu star Cheng Long, so I also know a little bit about martial arts."
Wei Ming said very confidently. This Shi Jiawang was half a head shorter than himself, and he could tell from his complexion that his body had been hollowed out by women, unlike himself, who was in harmony with yin and yang and was at the peak of his body.
Shi Jiawang originally wanted to scare this scholar, but didn't expect the scholar to know martial arts. It was simply hateful!
Shi Jiawang asked for a bore, but the old lady was happy to see it. This nephew-grandson of hers was too excellent. If Xiao Ning were still alive, he should be like this too.
"Xiao Ming, why don't you stay in San Francisco for a few more days and accompany your great-aunt well." The old lady spoke.
The four Shi family members felt a thud in their hearts and looked at Wei Ming nervously.
Wei Ming: "Great-aunt, I want to too, but tomorrow we still have to talk about a movie adaptation right with MGM."
The four breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, you kid ran fast. You are sensible.
Wei Lindi also said: "Yes, we have already postponed it once. This is a good opportunity for Xiao Ming's novel to be brought to the big screen by Hollywood."
The four were happy: Yo, you are leaving too!
Seeing the great-aunt's disappointed look, Wei Ming said again: "However, great-aunt, don't worry. My sister will soon come to San Francisco to go to university. By then, I will also come over with her. We will have plenty of time to get along in the future."
Hearing this, the psychological activities of the four Shi family members became more and more complicated. Good guy, you kid still want to come in a group, right? You really have your eyes on our Shi family's property!
Except for Shi Jiazhuang, who was young but deep in thought, the others were already a bit hanging on their faces.
"Then is your father coming?" the old lady asked curiously.
Wei Ming: "My father is in Hong Kong now. If there is a chance, I naturally want to bring him out to visit you."
The four: What, he still has a father?!
The old lady nodded. Although she had opinions about Wei Senhao, she wanted to be close to these nephews. What does the surname Shi have to do with her in the end? But the surname Wei is truly related to her by blood. The key is that each one's morality and IQ are online.
"And your uncle, let him come together if he has a chance." The old lady said again.
"Well, my uncle said, whenever the school sends him to the United States for official business, he will definitely come to visit." Speaking of Uncle Ping'an, Wei Ming remembered one thing, but it was inconvenient for outsiders to be present.
The four outsiders with the surname Shi looked at each other. This meal was already a bit hard to eat. He not only has a father, but also an uncle! Is there anyone else under this uncle?
Why are there so many remnants of the Wei family? Obviously, their investigation showed that the Old Buddha no longer had direct male relatives!
Now it seems that even if Wei Ming disappears from the world, it will be of no avail. We must find out how many people with the surname Wei are left!
So after eating, they didn't stay, left the manor directly, and found another place to plot after going out.
Old Lady Wei said to her nephew-grandson: "Let you see a joke. They are all things without any promise."
Wei Ming spoke directly: "Although the Shi family is from a merchant background, the family rules are extremely strict. The reputation in the hometown and the Magic City is good. These few look very different from their grandfather."
The old lady smiled lightly: "My father-in-law left early and didn't follow to the United States. In this flower world of the United States, without the previous constraints in the country, and with some bad money in hand, some people degenerate very quickly. These are the descendants of your great-uncle's own brother. However, the branch of your great-uncle's cousin has strict family style and is very promising. The pharmaceutical company under Zhiyuan is jointly run by our two families."
Obviously, she values the branch of her husband's cousin more, and raising these Shi family children is just to make her deceased husband underground feel at ease. It doesn't cost much money anyway. It's not a joke that she said Wei Ming is richer than them.
Wei Lindi knows exactly how much Wei Ming has. Lindi knows, so she knows.
Being able to earn millions of US dollars in just two years by relying on industries she didn't value before, such as literature and music, even made Wei Lindi start to re-examine the cultural and entertainment industry, which led to the resolution of merging the management of Chinatown Publishing Company and Chinatown Chain Bookstore.
And next, she also plans to take back Shi Jiahui's chain video store.
"Xiao Ming, what do you think of the current financial market in the United States?" Wei Lindi asked. Now the core of Zhiyuan Group, and the industry she has never let others handle, is the financial insurance industry. She also has a bank under her name, but it mostly does business for Chinese people, with branches in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
Wei Lindi smiled: "Aunt, he just came to the United States, what does he know about American finance."
Wei Lindi: "Just chat. You can also chat with that red-haired little girl."
Melinda thought, what do I know about US stocks? I only know butts, A Ming's.
Wei Ming smiled: "I don't understand either, but I have indeed earned some in the Hong Kong stock market recently. In my opinion, as long as you stand on the wind, even a pig can fly."
