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

Qi Xinye was very touched.

So she made a suggestion.

"Xiao Zhe, Yu Che, I have an idea, I don't know if you want to hear it."

"Go ahead and talk, big-breasted woman, but don't talk about business, I don't want to hear about it."

"It's not really a business matter... If possible, and if there's an opportunity in the future, I'd like to gradually hand over the management of the Qi family to Xiao Zhe. What do you all think?"

"Pfft! Cough cough!!"

Yu Zhe was still quietly organizing the documents when Qi Xinye's unexpected remark almost made him choke on his own saliva!

11. Immense happiness

"Sister Ye? Did you say something I didn't hear clearly?"

No, Yu Zhe actually heard it clearly, but he still wondered if he had misheard.

Yu Che also looked at Qi Xinye thoughtfully, as if trying to guess what she was going to say next.

Qi Xinye glanced at the two of them, blushed, and whispered.

"This... Qi family's funds, if Xiao Zhe is interested, I'll entrust them to you to manage in the future... Anyway, after we get together, I think it's better to entrust this family to you to manage."

"No, no, no... Sister Ye, are you confused from your afternoon nap? It's certain that we'll be together in the future, but as for the family, that's just absurd."

"No, I didn't take a nap. I'm wide awake right now."

hiss...

Look at the unwavering determination in Sister Ye's dark eyes.

But you're determined to give me all your assets!

Yu Che gasped, deciding to watch the show.

Yu Zhe rubbed his forehead and explained the reason to her: "Sister Ye, I understand your thoughts, but this is not something you can just send over whenever you want. The Qi family is not yours alone. Like the Su family, it is a large family interest group with so many branches and so many different decision-making levels. Even if you are willing, what about others? At least your father, Uncle Qi Yi, is the current head of the family. He will not be able to get through to you."

"No, Xiao Zhe, my dad said it's possible. He's very supportive of making this happen."

"..."

crazy.

Uncle Qi Yi, are you crazy?! The Qi family is so big, shouldn't you, as the old patriarch, at least guard the empire?!

Seeing Yu Zhe shaking his head and sighing, Qi Xinye sat down a little closer and said with a touch of grievance, "Xiao Zhe, I'm not young anymore, I'm over twenty, I'm not a child anymore. I understand what you're saying and I've thought about it. The problem now is how to overcome the obstacles and gradually integrate the Qi family's capital with the Su family. That's what I'm trying to achieve."

"Excuse me, Sister Ye, please stop for a moment. Although it's abrupt, may I ask you a question?"

"Xiao Zhe, you say it."

“I think I might be overthinking it... but you’re working so hard to develop and expand the Qi family now, for the long-term development of your family... right?”

Qi Xinye was taken aback when she heard the question.

She thought about it for a moment, then turned to Yu Zhe and smiled gently, "That's definitely part of the reason, but I think the main reason is that when we pour the Qi family's funds into the Su family, it will satisfy Xiao Zhe, okay?"

"You need to put your mind to it!"

You're so filial!

If your family knew that the person they were so eagerly grooming for the next head of the family was actually plotting this, they would be terrified!

Yu Che gave Qi Xinye a thumbs up in approval.

This busty woman is alright, she's quite nice.

In this respect, Yu Che is very similar to her. Yu Che also wants to manage the Su family well so that when her brother takes over, he will be in a stable situation in all aspects. If Qi Xinye can also help, the future situation will be even more promising.

You two... are truly hopeless.

While marveling at his own charm, Yu Zhe finally sighed and earnestly offered Qi Xinye some advice.

"Sister Ye, if possible, I still suggest you stop thinking about these things for now and keep the Qi family in your own hands. You are the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and your future..."

How can the already appointed head of the family act so impulsively?

But I...

"No buts. More importantly, this doesn't actually benefit the Su family either. If the Qi family's funds are directly injected into the Su family, it might be beneficial in the short term, but in the long run, it's probably more harmful than beneficial."

"Hmm? Xiao Zhe, what do you mean by that?"

“Because of competition.” Yu Zhe looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, where the city’s colorful neon lights were spread out before his eyes. “The development of a large family requires some competitiveness. In the short term, if our Fenghai City loses the Qi family and the Su family becomes the only dominant family, it may indeed be very prosperous for a while. But in the long run, this family will inevitably decline because without competition, there is no motivation for development.”

At this point, Yu Che understood: "Brother is right. The Mo family, which used to be the leading family in Cangming City next door, is gone. If our city only has the Su family and the Ouyang family left, then there's basically no point in developing."

"is that so?"

Qi Xinye lowered her head, somewhat disappointed: "I'm sorry, Xiao Zhe, I thought... that working hard in this direction would help you, but it seems... I was too short-sighted."

Don't suddenly feel down!

Yu Zhe panicked for a moment and quickly finished saying the important points he hadn't mentioned earlier.

"However, Sister Ye, those were just objective analyses. The real reason I don't want the Qi family and the Su family to merge is not these trivial reasons."

"That is...?"

"It's very simple."

Yu Zhe tilted his head, his long silver hair, illuminated by the dazzling lights flashing outside the window, resembled a silver streak that swept across Qi Xinye's heart.

"The real reason is still what I said at the beginning. Sister Ye, you are the eldest daughter of the Qi family. The future of the Qi family belongs to you, not me. More than the prosperity of the family, I hope that you can have your own value in life. Wouldn't it be a huge loss to give up a part of your life experience for some trivial family matter? Sister Ye, you have to be happy!"

"So if one day you don't want to care about the Qi family anymore, tell me, and I'll help you find a way. But as long as you're still willing to stay in that position, I will fully support you, not for anything else, but just for our own happiness, not for the sake of the family. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Do you understand or not...

Qi Xinye stared wide-eyed at Yu Zhe's beautiful eyes, gradually becoming captivated by them.

Family doesn't matter... your happiness is the most important thing.

These words conveyed almost the same meaning as what Xiao Zhe had expressed when they first met him years ago.

However, the feelings involved have gradually evolved from initial friendship into an inseparable love.

"Sister Ye?" Yu Zhe shook his hand.

Qi Xinye did not speak, but instead showed her stance through her actions.

She stood up, walked to the opposite side, and to Yu Zhe and Yu Che's surprise, she sat down in the empty space on Yu Zhe's chair. Even though the space was small, it was enough for her to sit comfortably.

Because... you can also hold onto Xiao Zhe's chest.

"Hey hey hey!! Big-breasted woman, are you trying to rebel?! I'm still here, what are you doing?!"

Yu Che jumped up like a spring, but it was really inappropriate to just go over and push her away.

Because her brother held her in his arms, and Qi Xinye herself looked at Yu Che with pleading eyes.

"Just for a little while... okay...?"

"You... well, alright, just for a little while! I'm really impressed, how come you suddenly got horny like that!"

Actually, although Yu Che's statement was harsh, it was pretty much the same.

Qi Xinye could only say that it was all Xiao Zhe's fault for saying such strange things... he always managed to touch the softest part of her heart with just one sentence.

Learning how to manage a family is really tiring.

Nestled in the arms of your loved one, enjoy this moment of tranquility.

This is undoubtedly a great happiness.

12. Give me another chance?

Of course, Yu Che didn't let Qi Xinye be "arrogant" for long.

She has principles; as long as she's here, her brother is hers, and she won't allow anyone to misbehave.

Regardless of what happened earlier, you should be grateful for nature's bounty!

That concludes the discussion of the Qi family's affairs for now; Yu Zhe is now addressing some other related matters.

"This should also be put on the agenda. I'd like to make arrangements for the Mo family's businesses, and leave it to Yun'er to manage in the future, but that's all after graduation..."

dong dong dong...

Suddenly, there were three knocks on the door.

Without a second thought, Yu Che instructed, "Come in."

No one can come to this floor of the Tan Kong Building without her permission, so the only person who can come is Lu Ling and Lu Yao, whom she just messaged to come.

Sure enough, after the door was pushed open, Lu Yao was carrying a tray, with Lu Ling following behind, and they walked towards where the three of them were sitting.

Upon arrival, Lu Yao carried the tray, while Lu Ling placed three half-full flute-shaped wine glasses in front of the three people.

"Miss Yu Che, your items have been delivered. We'll be leaving now. There's still a little something left..."

Before her younger sister could speak, Lu Yao said, "Young Master...rest...be careful..."

Sister, you always interrupt so quickly at times like this!

Does this mean we should take breaks even during meetings?

Yu Zhe took their cups for them: "Okay, I'll be done talking soon, and I'll go home in a bit."

“Yes, young master. We’ll wait for you in the car. Also, young lady, could you assign us more meaningful work in the future? We’re not satisfied with the difficulty of our current tasks. We’ll take our leave now.”

"?"

After Lu Ling finished speaking

These words led Lu Yao back the way she came.

Yu Che watched the two of them leave the room with some surprise.

She picked up the wine glass in front of her and swirled it: "Oh dear... these two maids are getting more and more rebellious. Sigh... they seemed quite happy when they were serving wine to my brother."

Of course she knew what Lu Ling had been complaining about.

She and Lu Yao were among the top-notch combat maids in the Su family. Perhaps he felt it was a waste of their talents to have them serve wine glasses.

Tsk tsk tsk, don't think Yu Che can't see it. Lu Ling just wants to show off in front of her brother and make them seem more capable.
