Everyone only greeted the Old Lady, showing that Bai Yueru, in the eyes of the crowd, was still just a figurehead. Once she stepped down from the Family Head position, naturally, no one would bother to flatter her.
The Old Lady maintained the deanor of the Sheng Family’s forr head, wearing a serene smile that gave no hint of her thoughts. "Old Zhong, Old Zhou, you’ve co indeed, much obliged. For now, this old woman has yet to et her end. But, it’s the era of the young now. This frail body of mine is only fit for feeding pigeons and enjoying life in the back garden of this Old Mansion."
"This..." The old veterans were montarily stunned, thinking that this old lady truly hadn’t lost her touch, knowing they ca seeking favors, and yet she imdiately detached herself from the matter, leaving them at a loss for words.
"Old Madam, you are truly fortunate. Actually, we didn’t intend to disturb your peace, but there are so matters where we must seek your advice. Shengshi Group, though it started as an offshoot of the Old Mansion’s assets, now surpasses its origins. Yet, if you could persuade him, it would be far better than us elders fretting in vain."
"What’s the matter with you? Didn’t you say today you ca specifically to visit this old woman, but turns out you’ve co seeking favors?" The Old Lady showed no courtesy to these people.
"Old Madam, even if it’s to help us old fellows, we implore you to persuade Ah Chen. Now, for the sake of a woman, he’s made a ss of the group. If this continues, all that’s been painstakingly built might go to waste!"
"Ahem!" Bai Yueru was displeased that these people disregarded her. "Old Zhou, what do you an by that? My son has always been shrewd and decisive. If not for him, could Shengshi Group be where it is today? How dare you speak ill of my son in our presence when he’s not here?"
"Madam, that’s not our intention. Don’t you know? Ah Chen actually signed a mutual prosperity agreent with Heng Kong Entertainnt. That could still be acceptable, since Ye Shu is now your Sheng family’s daughter-in-law. But today, he publically sought a lawyer for matchmaking, which is simply ludicrous. Whatever he does outside represents the face of our entire group. Such actions truly damage the image of our multinational corporation. If you don’t advise against it, who knows what more outrageous things might transpire? By then, it might be too late to redy."
Bai Yueru, hearing this, showed a look of surprise and turned to the Old Lady, saying, "Mom, I think this matter is indeed inappropriate. Should we call Ah Chen back imdiately?"
"Hmph!" The Old Lady glared at Bai Yueru, addressing the old shareholders, "Your good intentions, this old woman understands well. But whether these actions will harm the group’s reputation is still uncertain. I’ve already said, it’s the young people’s era now. Us old folks have no need to interfere so much. If you’ve nothing to do, you might visit my Old Mansion more often, find a bard to sing a tune, and chat together, isn’t that nice? Anyway, you can’t spend all the money in your hands, so why bother to compete with the young ones?"
"This... sigh, Old Madam, since you feel that way, let’s pretend we never ca today. Just don’t regret it later!" After leaving this remark, Old Zhou left angrily with the group...
