Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 931 Old Chen's Thoughts

"Company development also requires a balance and stability, understand? Originally, without Xia Xia in the restaurant business and without you in the food factory, it seemed like there was no problem with each of you doing your own thing, but in fact, this was a hidden danger. After all, Xiao Wei is now in charge of both businesses. What will happen to resource allocation when problems arise in the future? After all, you can't achieve true isolation."

The three of you have similar personalities, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten together. But family is family and money is money. You must always keep things clear and transparent about finances. Don't treat them lightly. The business is bigger now. It's not just a matter of tens of thousands of dollars anymore. Besides, you all have families. The affairs of six people are much more complicated than those of three.

You're an execution-oriented person, that's true, and you need someone to supervise you, otherwise you'll start slacking off after a few days. As for Xia, his interest in power far outweighs his interest in money. Unless he has financial difficulties, it's probably unlikely he'll be able to manage the company effectively. That's why I told you before to listen to Xiao Wei.

And then there's our background. Your grandfather and I, I can't say for sure, but we've never done anything illegal or against the rules. As for me, I'm a bit better off than your grandfather; I've worked my way up, so I have to be careful about certain things, you understand? Our family can't compare to others; we don't have any connections or support, so every step we take is like walking on thin ice.

You're my only hope, don't you understand? And you, you've been spoiled rotten by your mother, you have no ambition whatsoever. Fortunately, you're not arrogant, you're more like your mother, although you're mischievous, at least you haven't caused me any major trouble.

Your mother and I were surprised and happy that you met Xiaowei and Xiaxia, and that you and your partner were able to build such a large business from scratch. However, your personality isn't really suited to handle things, which is why I asked Xiaowei to take on the main responsibility. He has principles and is someone we can trust. Your personalities also complement each other.

All those things that happened before, do you really think your dad's face is so worthless? Wasn't it all to build up favors for you, kid? Our family's fortunes have pretty much reached their limit with me. Your future prospects aren't great. Your mom and I have been discussing it, and we've decided to let you go into business. Being a millionaire wouldn't be bad at all.

In business, especially for a family like ours, you have to be honest, and you can only be honest. If you're honest, I dare to speak loudly, understand? I don't have any powerful backers, but as long as you're honest, you will have them. That's why I never let you get involved with Dajun and the others. Now you understand?

My point is, let Xiaowei take charge. Don't even consider Xiaxia. Xiaohui is perfect for managing the finances. You, your job is to help Xiaowei, do your assigned tasks well. With me here, at least nothing major will happen, understand?"

Chen Hui said, "That's what I think too. Actually, I feel that the current share distribution is pretty good. But I don't quite understand why the hotel, food factory, and school have to be included. From a development perspective, the food factory definitely has a better future, but for now, the hotel's income is also acceptable."

Old Chen said, "No need to calculate it so clearly, it's unnecessary. Are you really that concerned about that little bit of money? I doubt Xiao Wei will bring it up on his own. Let's see what Xia says tomorrow. That kid is sensible; she won't cause any trouble for you over this. Sigh, they're all good kids."

Chen Hui asked, "Dad, are you and Mom coming back?"

Old Chen said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the situation on my end. Your mother has to go back; it's almost the end of the year, and she has a lot to do there. Your Uncle Cheng has taken over things here, so I don't really get involved."

Chen Hui said, "Seriously, we're getting addicted to staying there. Xiao Wei said that next year we'll go into the Central Plains, acquire land in Beijing and Tianjing, and expand throughout North China."

Old Chen said, "Well, I won't interfere with your development. You can discuss it yourselves. I only have one requirement for you: stability."

Chen Hui hummed in agreement and said, "Alright, I got it. I'll see what Geng Hui says tomorrow. Anyway, Xiao Wei has more to live on. You guys can just enjoy yourselves in Kyoto. You don't care about your son or your grandson anymore. Wait until Xiao Xiao Hui doesn't even recognize you anymore."

Old Chen laughed and said, "I don't even know if he's gained or lost weight. You know what, I've dreamed about him several times. I can't help it, I can't control myself. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I still have documents to look at."

Chen Hui said, "Dad, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. You're fifty years old, why are you still so worrying?"

Old Chen cursed and hung up the phone.

Back inside, Chen Xiao glanced at Chen Hui groggily and said, "Keep your voice down, you'll have to soothe the baby if he wakes up."

Chen Hui said softly, "Okay, you go to sleep. I'll coax you when you wake up. I'm not that sleepy yet, I can think about something."

Chen Xiao said, "What's there to think about? Let's keep things as they are. Xiao Wei will take the lion's share, and you and Lao Xia can keep about the same. Xiao Wei has to keep you in check, otherwise your personalities will clash within days, and you might even start arguing. It's just that Geng Hui is virtuous and I understand things. Besides, in terms of overall management and planning, you two are indeed not as good as Xiao Wei, even though you two have higher education than him."

Chen Hui said, "Each spot costs a lot of money, are you really willing to spend that much?"

Chen Xiao pursed her lips and said, "You're still working at your company, Xiao Wei, and you didn't even get that stuff yourself. Besides, how much is a lot? Even 30% in the future will be more than all of it now. You're not cut out for heavy lifting. Take a break and spend more time with me and the kids."

Chen Hui said, "When do you plan to start work? You can't just stay home like this every day, you'll go crazy."

Chen Xiao kicked Chen Hui, who was climbing onto the bed, and said, "You're the silly one. I didn't know either, I was just afraid it wouldn't be good. Everyone else is going alone, but both of us are going, how can it be good?"

Chen Hui pulled Chen Xiao into his arms and said, "You're overthinking things. We're short-handed right now. Is it any better to hand over a task to someone you don't know than to give it to you?"

Chen Xiao shifted to make herself more comfortable and said, "What about you? Aren't you going back to work?"

Chen Hui said, "I'm not planning to go back. It's pointless anyway. Do you think I can become a bureau chief? What's the point of toiling away down here? It's better to be like this now, free and easy, spending my days with you women and kids. Isn't that great?"

Chen Xiao tilted her head back and kissed Chen Hui on the cheek, then grabbed his hand and tucked it into her pajama bottoms…

……

On the other side, Geng Hui and Xia Maosheng were also talking.

"How do you feel? What do you think?" Xia Maosheng asked Geng Hui, holding the child and rocking him.

Geng Hui was making the bed when she said, "I think things are fine as they are. To be honest, 30% is more than enough for us. What more could we want?"

Xia Maosheng laughed and said, "Actually, I only found someone to get the paperwork done at the beginning. After that, Xiaowei and Xiaohui handled everything. After coming to Fengtian, I didn't lift a finger. Don't you think I'm incredibly lucky?"

Geng Hui rolled her eyes at Xia Maosheng and said, "Enough money is enough. It's good enough that our family is doing well. There's no point in arguing." She was a cool and aloof person, and what she said was truly from the heart.

Xia Maosheng said, "In my opinion, our family will take twenty-five, Xiaohui thirty-five, and Xiaowei forty. You can say that tomorrow."
