When the deadline for Sheng Jingxi's learning arrived, Sheng Shuocheng kept his promise and flew directly back to Beicheng to check on his learning progress.
Today was the day when Sheng Shuocheng himself would come to the company for an inspection.
Knowing that the chairman was coming, all the employees of Shengshi Group didn't even have the slightest thought of slacking off. They were all on high alert.
Watching the father - son duo enter the office together, Jiang Li was rather at ease. She stayed in the lounge outside waiting for news.
Zhang Yi also accompanied Jiang Li outside.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Yi casually brought up a topic: "This time when Chairman Sheng came, besides checking on Young Master Sheng's learning progress, he will also announce the inheritance issue regarding Shengshi Group's property."
Jiang Li nodded, showing her understanding: "Uncle Sheng is getting old. He really shouldn't always be worried and exhausted by the company's affairs. It's only reasonable to train Sheng Jingxi so that he can share the pressure in the future."
After all, the company would be handed over to Sheng Jingxi in the future. Although the old saying goes that children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, no one wants the business they've built up to be squandered away by their descendants too early. One has to be strict to some extent.
Jiang Li blinked: "I just don't know if Sheng Jingxi will obediently follow the rules. It seems to me that he's learning management just so that he can better play with his race cars in the future."
She saw through his little thoughts completely.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile silently and kindly revealed to her: "Apart from what Young Master Sheng will inherit, Miss Jiang will also get a share."
Jiang Li was stunned for two seconds and asked hesitantly: "Me? A share?"
"Yes, you will also get a share." Zhang Yi straightened his back and looked at her with a smile: "It was set aside specially by Chairman Sheng. He also asked me to inform you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
Zhang Yi was already in his thirties and had been by Sheng Shuocheng's side for many years. If really counted, he could be considered half an elder to Jiang Li. He definitely wouldn't lie, so this matter was most likely true.
"No!" Jiang Li immediately refused: "This is inappropriate! I'm just an outsider. If I'm given a share of the Sheng family's property, it will invite criticism, and I also feel unworthy of it."
Zhang Yi said: "Chairman Sheng regards you as a family member, not an outsider at all. You can accept it with peace of mind."
But Jiang Li simply couldn't feel at ease.
She began to feel restless, constantly looking towards the meeting - room door, waiting for the two of them to come out so that she could persuade Sheng Shuocheng to change his mind.
This wasn't just a simple gift, nor was it the so - called care from an elder to a younger one. It was a sincere act of treating her as a daughter.
But what did she do to deserve a father like Sheng Shuocheng?
Half an hour later, the office door opened, and Sheng Jingxi walked out. Jiang Li quickly walked towards him.
Sheng Jingxi smiled and said, "So worried about me? Don't worry, bro has successfully..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Li had already walked past him with a serious expression and directly entered the director's office, closing the door behind her.
Sheng Jingxi: "..."
Fine, so she wasn't here to greet him.
At the same time, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the information leaked from Shengshi Group, his face as dark as thunder.
Somehow, the news had leaked that Sheng Shuocheng was going to give part of Shengshi Group's shares to Jiang Li, and Sheng Jingxi, as the only son, had no objections and even seemed happy about it.
Some gossiped that this looked like the treatment only a daughter - in - law would get. Otherwise, for a company like Shengshi Group, how could they casually give shares to outsiders?
Xiao Yanzhi felt his breathing become difficult.
...
In the director's office of Shengshi Group.
Jiang Li had walked in too hastily. After standing still, she gasped slightly. After adjusting her breathing, she looked up at Sheng Shuocheng sitting in the boss's chair.
Sheng Shuocheng looked kind, with deep eye creases. He was holding a fountain pen in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Li come in, he lifted his lips slightly and said in a slow voice, "You came just in time. Did Zhang Yi explain everything to you?"
Jiang Li tightened her fingers: "Assistant Zhang told me part of it."
Sheng Shuocheng nodded and turned the document in front of him towards Jiang Li: "Then I won't beat around the bush. This is a property transfer agreement. Sheng Jingxi just read it, and he has no objections. If you don't have any problems either, just sign it."
"Uncle Sheng, I don't need it." Jiang Li steadied her mind and calmly refused, "I know how good you've been to me. I don't need this property to prove it."
Sheng Shuocheng's smile faded a bit, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Jiang Li, I've said before that you'll be a part of the Sheng family in the future. This is just a little gift from Uncle Sheng to you."
Jiang Li took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I know this will sound like a killjoy - but please modify the property transfer agreement."
"You haven't even read the content of the agreement and you're so decisive in refusing me?" Sheng Shuocheng's voice deepened, "It's not as much as you think. You can totally accept it."
Jiang Li paused. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, her phone in her pocket rang inopportunely.
She immediately hung up, but the caller kept calling back.
After several such repetitions, Jiang Li finally lost her patience. She answered the phone and said, "I'll call you back later. I'm very busy now."
"Jiang Li!" Xiao Yanzhi stopped her and tried his best to restrain the coldness in his voice, "Listen carefully. You must not be with Sheng Jingxi."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand his sudden out - of - the - blue words. She reflexively asked him, "Why?"
Xiao Yanzhi fell silent for a moment.
Actually, he hadn't thought about how to tell Jiang Li that she was Sheng Shuocheng's daughter and Sheng Jingxi's biological sister.
To be more precise, he didn't know how Jiang Li would react after knowing this.
He was just worried that if he didn't make it clear, it would lead to an irreparable mistake.
How could a biological brother be with his biological sister?
It was absurd!
At this time, Sheng Shuocheng asked, "What's going on?"
"… Nothing." Jiang Li then came to her senses and was about to hang up the phone when Xiao Yanzhi said again, "Jiang Li, hand the phone to Chairman Sheng. I have something to say to him."
He sounded very serious, making it hard to ignore his tone. "Can you? I really have something very important to say."
Jiang Li paused for a moment and still handed the phone to Sheng Shuocheng: "Xiao Yanzhi is looking for you."
Sheng Shuocheng took the phone and put it to his ear. His face was originally relaxed, but after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, he gradually became serious.
"Is what you said true?"
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Li stood there at a loss. The distance was too far for her to hear what Xiao Yanzhi and Sheng Shuocheng were saying.
Sheng Shuocheng ended the call with Xiao Yanzhi. He stood up from his chair and his eyes fell on Jiang Li.
There was a great deal of surprise in his eyes, and a bit of doubt as well.
"Call Sheng Jingxi. The two of you come with me to the hospital now."
