Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Yu Che didn't quite understand the proposal, so this time Yu Zhe took the microphone again.

"We'll discuss our opinions later. Third Grandfather, could you please represent all the elders and explain the reasons why you proposed this motion?"

36. We absolutely have to sign!

In any case, you should listen carefully to all the information.

Didn't they say they wanted to change the top management? Fine, Yu Zhe wants to hear their reasons first.

Grandpa San seemed to...

They had been prepared for this for a long time.

"The reason is really not that great. It's just that in our family, the eldest boy, Yu Zhe, is the main branch. How can we let a girl younger than you be in charge?"

That statement... doesn't hold up to scrutiny at all.

Yu Zhe's response was direct: "Third Grandfather, please forgive my bluntness, but let's not talk about what will happen in a year. After I graduate from school, I will manage the Su family properly. Putting that aside, I just don't quite agree with what you just said. In this day and age, there is no such thing as the eldest son inheriting the family. Does that mean that just because Yu Zhe is capable, he can't manage the Su family?"

Why does it sound like my third grandfather is favoring boys over girls?

That's not what I meant.

The third grandfather avoided the main issue and changed his words: "You're right, whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they can manage the family well, that's fine. But Yu Zhe, do you remember when your grandfather passed away, he clearly stated that you would inherit the Su Group? Everyone in this house knows this perfectly well!"

That is indeed true...

Yu Zhe's grandparents passed away from illness years ago. On his deathbed, his grandfather did indeed name Yu Zhe as the heir to the family business in the presence of all the family members.

"I didn't say I wouldn't inherit it."

Yu Zhe shrugged helplessly: "Third Grandfather, and all the elders, I think you have misunderstood something. It is true that Yu Che is in charge of the Su family now, but only for the past two years. A year has already passed, and in another year, I will take over the management of the Su Group again."

"..."

The people in the audience remained silent.

It was as if they hadn't understood what Yu Zhe was saying at all.

Yu Zhe was confused. Had I not explained things clearly enough?

Seeing her brother looking troubled, Yu Che couldn't sit still any longer. She took the microphone and spoke.

"Yes, I am currently managing the company on behalf of my brother. If the elders have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you remain silent, we really don't know where the problem lies."

After she said that, there was still no reaction from the audience.

This is really strange.

Yu Zhe first turned off the microphone, then quietly asked Yu Che, "What's going on? I don't quite understand?"

"I don't know, brother, but I always feel that they want me to step down from management now, instead of waiting a year."

"Wow, really? We made a deal: you'd manage the company for me for two years, and I'd manage it for you for life. And now they're going to push me up? Does that mean my short time of enjoying life is going to end?"

"Don't worry, brother, with me here, nothing will happen!"

"Ah, Yuche! My dear sister! Your brother loves you!"

"I love you too, brother!!"

"stop!"

Zixiao was startled. She quickly grabbed Yuzhe.

She was utterly speechless! Her brother and Yu Che were about to embrace each other, completely oblivious to the atmosphere – they were in a meeting!

Thankfully, Zixiao acted quickly, otherwise, things would have been terrible!

Yu Zhe thanked Zi Xiao somewhat awkwardly, then composed himself and turned on the microphone again.

"Ahem...Third Grandfather, have you thought it through now? After discussing it with the elders, do you still disagree with my plan to take over the Su family a year later?"

This time, Third Grandfather frowned, clearly wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.

An elderly woman next to him finally couldn't take it anymore, stood up, grabbed the megaphone in front of him, and shouted.

"Yu Zhe, how can you not understand! Aren't you just wasting your time on trivial pursuits? It's common for children from large families to fight each other. Is it really that rare for brothers and sisters to scheme and attack each other? In another year, will you still be able to take over the Su family?"

hiss...

This time, the words were clear enough, almost too clear.

Their eagerness to promote Yu Zhe to the top was actually driven by their own interests. Yu Zhe had greater potential than Yu Che and could bring more benefits, a fact widely acknowledged within the family.

Moreover, it is more stable for boys to take charge of the family than for girls. If a girl gets married one day, it is hard to guarantee that it will not affect the family's interests.

Cough cough... Of course, they didn't know that the problem they were worried about didn't exist for Yu Che at all.

She will only ever stay by Yu Zhe's side for the rest of her life.

The problem is, these elders certainly don't understand this.

How did they know that the siblings' relationship had deteriorated... cough cough.

Not to mention Yu Zhe's grandfather's will, they were even more eager to push Yu Zhe to the position.

Yu Zhe noticed that Yu Che was trembling with anger ever since the old lady made her point out.

She whispered, "Brother... I'm so angry... They actually said I might take your place. No way, I'm going to tell them that even I belong to you, brother!"

"Stop! Wait a minute! Calm down!"

Just as Yu Che was about to pick up the microphone and stand up to announce something, Yu Zhe and Zi Xiao were so frightened that they quickly worked together to push her back into the chair.

You're trying to kill off my society!

The elders in the audience were stunned.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Zhe quickly took the microphone from her hand.

"Ah... thank you for the reminder, Third Grandfather and the elders. But you are all overthinking it. There are indeed many conflicts between families, but they will never occur in our Su family's main family. Please rest assured about that."

Third Grandfather stroked his beard and frowned: "Yu Zhe, Yu Che, don't think we're being too direct. Now that we've laid things out, I'm not worried about Yu Che not liking what we've said. Yu Zhe..."

"How can you be so sure that you two won't fight over power a year from now?"

"Because we're good friends."

Yu Zhe said with a grin, "If you're still not at ease, we can draw up a proper legal document. With a written agreement as proof, I will take back all of the Su family's business resources in a year. Then you can rest assured, right?"

"Naive, so naive. Do you think your sister will sign this document just because you wrote it?"

Grandpa San smiled wryly and shook his head. He had thought Yu Zhe was quite clever, but it seemed he was still too young.

So he turned his gaze to Yu Che.

"Yu Che, your third grandfather is asking you, if such a document really existed, would you sign it?"

Without even thinking about it, she would definitely be vague to save face, neither saying whether she would sign nor not, and just let it go like that.

Third Grandfather has seen too many things like this.

but.

He didn't expect it.

Upon hearing the proposal, Yu Che immediately stood up happily, clearly delighted.

"Sign it! It has to be signed! Where's the company's legal department? Call them all in right now to write the documents! I want them all signed with pens, pencils, brushes, and ballpoint pens!"

37. I have an idea.

My third grandfather has gone mad.

He didn't expect Yu Che to agree so readily.

Based on experience, it is very difficult to get someone who has been in a high position for a long time to step down.

After all, once you gain power and status, it's practically impossible for you to suddenly give them up.

But for Yu Che, it didn't matter at all.

Power and status are nowhere near as appealing as an older brother's! They're completely incomparable!

With just one phone call, she summoned the resident legal department of the Su Group.

In accordance with the meaning expressed by the elders, a document was drafted stating that one year later, Yu Che must transfer all of his business and management resources to Yu Zhe.

Yu Che signed her name without hesitation. Of course, she didn't use any kind of pen, brush, or pencil as she had said. One signature was enough.

After the document was signed, it was circulated among the elders in the council chamber for review.

They were all ashamed... It has to be said that this is the legal department of the Su family, and there are absolutely no omissions in the contents.

According to the contents of this document, regardless of the circumstances, it is inevitable that Yu Zhe will take over the Su family by this time next year; it is an unchangeable fact.

After the document is passed to the last elder, who reads it and nods in approval.

Yu Che stood up on the stage and asked directly.

"So, everyone, is there no more doubt now?"

Upon hearing this question, the audience members quickly nodded to each other.

"No doubt, no doubt at all... Oh dear... We were really overthinking it. It's a good thing that the children get along well."

"That's right, as people get older, they tend to overthink things."

"That's very good, very good."

Whether they are genuinely reassured or not.

Anyway, the legal documents are here and they are valid. As long as Yu Zhe can be guaranteed to take control of the Su family, they won't say anything more.

Yu Che was happy this time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief!

You can say I can't manage the Su family, but to say I might steal my brother's position?! That's simply unacceptable.

Yu Zhe muted his microphone and comforted her for a while. Seeing that she had finally calmed down, he turned his microphone back on and spoke.

"Since everyone agrees on this issue, let's leave it at that. Father, do you have any other proposals to make? If not, we can arrange for everyone to have dinner first."

As he spoke, Yu Zhe glanced at Su Zhenfeng sitting on the main stage.

You're the head of this household, it's none of your business, you're practically asleep sitting there, is that alright?

Su Zhenfeng had long been fed up with the oppressive atmosphere, so he immediately arranged for everyone to have lunch in the auditorium.
