Fierce Ex-wife: Pres Chapter 319 - The Older, The Wiser (1)

Chapter 319: The Older, The Wiser (1)

A hint of frustration showed up on the forr master’s face. He did not continue with the following words. Zhao Youlin knew it in her heart.

The old man had the intention to cultivate and train Zhao Youlin so that she could stay at ho and be the heir of the Zhao family.

Unfortunately, Zhao Youlin t Mu Tingfeng, and she fell in love with him. In the end, she even went to the extent of drugging Mu Tingfeng, conceiving his child and marrying into the Mu family.

The previous Zhao Youlin had committed a series of actions that had led him to vast disappointnt. She had dashed the forr master’s hope of cultivating her to be his successor like pouring cold water on him.

Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh. She drowned her trailing voice out as she said, “Grandpa, you must have been very disappointed at that ti, right? Therefore, you shifted your attention to Zhao Youming.”

The forr master grinned and cast a glance at Zhao Youlin. He said in a businesslike manner, “When that kid took the initiative to make the bet with

in the beginning, I really admired him. He knew how to use his strengths to gamble in order to achieve things that he desired. A businessman should act like that. Unfortunately, later, I realized that he… was not fit for it.”

“Why? Is it because of this ti…”

When she was watching the video clip and looking for clues, Xiao Jingyao was with her. The matter was sothing big, therefore, it was very unlikely for Xiao Jingyao not to make the matter known to Zhao Shunrong. Once Zhao Shunrong knew about it, it was equivalent to having inford the forr master indirectly.

When the forr master recalled receiving the news that day, his expression darkened. He shook his head, “No, sothing else happened much earlier.”

“Much earlier?”

“Yes. No sooner after that kid ca to find

and make a bet with , he got into Yorkshire’s college. Since I intended to cultivate and train him, I naturally assigned soone to keep an eye on him at all tis.”

When Zhao Youlin heard this, she unwittingly cocked one of her eyebrows. She asked in a puzzle, “Grandpa, you had soone follow him?”

The forr master fell silent for a brief mont before he nodded and said, “I had soone to watch over him and send weekly emails to

to inform

of his every move while abroad. However, this situation lasted only two weeks. Those people who kept an eye on him returned to their ho country.”

“Why?”

“I was disillusioned.” The forr master shot a glance at Zhao Youlin’s puzzled expression and he heaved a sigh, “No doubt, he is indeed a smart kid. He has the spirit and cunning that a businessman should have. However, he was so cunning that people were getting sick of him.”

Zhao Youlin furrowed her eyebrows. The incident piqued her interest. “Why is that so? Did he do sothing in his university days that let you down?”

There were so slight changes on the forr master’s face. “That kid is very ambitious. He wants to climb to the top of the mountain. He refuses to be diocre. Since he got into university, he strived very hard to keep moving forward. However, the foreign country is different from his ho country. While he might be considered a top-notch talent in his dostic country, it might not be the sa overseas. One has to know that there is always soone better than us out there. When he was overseas, he learned that many people were better and more talented than him. He could not beco outstanding by relying on himself alone.”

“Therefore, he played so tricks in order to be able to overpower others?”

“You could say yes and no.”

Zhao Youlin frowned. What did he an by yes and no? Was it a yes or a no?

The forr master seed to have read Zhao Youlin’s mind. The corners of his lips curled upward. He did not keep her in the dark for long, and he told her various things that Zhao Youming had done overseas in a low voice.

“That kid was still very young and inexperienced. Even though he is cleverer than most kids, he lacked experience. He wanted to achieve success in a short period of ti. So, he took the initiative and joined the school’s laboratory. He decided to create sothing of his own inside the school’s laboratory. While he kept changing his way of doing things and working hard, he had not considered his own capabilities. At that ti, he was participating in a research project in the laboratory. Everything was at its final stage. If they succeeded, it would produce an unimaginable impact on the country or even the world. However, his arrogance had led the project to an ultimate failure. And what terrified us the most was…”

The forr master’s expression looked dark, and he said in a low voice, “The incident was in fact his own fault. He was afraid of being punished for that, so he put the bla on his senior, who was in the sa group as him and had taken good care of him. As a result, that person had to withdraw from school.”

Businessn were most concerned about integrity. The comrcial world was likened to a battleground. There was never a long-standing rival nor ally. However, they still had to keep so bottom line to themselves. Zhao Youming’s unethical behavior had imdiately lowered his own impression score in the forr master’s heart.

Upon hearing the forr master’s words, Zhao Youlin looked troubled. Nothing was wrong if a young man had the spirit and motivation to move up. However, if he made a mistake due to his own eagerness for quick success and let others pay the price for him, this was way too much.

“However, that was not what that had disappointed

the most. What disappointed

the most was that he participated in a big match since the incident as if nothing had happened. He had betrayed his best friend in order to win the competition. He handed over his friend’s work to the competitor and deliberately drove a wedge between the two. He fanned the flas so that his friend went over to the competitor and made a fuss out of it. In the end, the two were disqualified while he, who was slightly inferior to the two, won the prize as he wished. He beca the top student in the school and created a sensational wave. Who would have thought that all this was but a stolen honor.”

When the first incident happened, it was understandable that he had done it out of his ignorance and young age. He had subconsciously done it due to fright. However, the second incident that happened was done on purpose.

When the forr master recalled his initial thoughts upon hearing such incidents, he was disappointed.

He had desperately wanted to look for an heir who could inherit his foundation whom he had spent most of his life building up.

His successor must be a capable person. But first, he must know how to behave himself.

If he lacked moral values and often thought of using dirty tricks for personal gains, he would only cause trouble to the world regardless of how good he was. A person like that failed to et his expectations.

Zhao Youlin fell silent. Should she say that Zhao Youming was worthy to be Li Hongyu’s son? No, that was not right. Instead, she sighed over the fact that only Li Hongyu and Zhao Shuncheng could give birth to a son who outdid the duo.

“Everything happens for a reason. There are many more things similar to this that happened later on. As such, I beca completely disillusioned with him.” The forr master heaved a sigh. He raised his head up to forty-five degrees, and was looking sorrowful.

“But, fortunately, I still have you, Youlin,” As the forr master was speaking, his spirited gaze regained its sparkling at once. He stared at Zhao Youlin as if looking at a delicious piece of… at pie.

“Grandpa…” Zhao Youlin felt a chill crept down her spine under the forr master’s glare. She felt that she had been set up by this old fox once again.
