Capítulo 964: Chapter 964: Do You Still Want the Company or Not?
During dinner, Zhixi realized Pei Yuanchen was absent. Upon inquiry, she learned he had already found an excuse to leave.
…It seems like he fled in defeat.
Zhixi couldn’t help but secretly laugh to herself. She had known Pei Yuanchen for so long and was often left speechless by his quips, but now discovering that even he had a rival made her mood so good that she ate an extra bowl.
However, just as she was about to scoop a third bowl, He Jingyao stopped her.
“You’re not allowed to eat anymore,” his tone was cold.
Liu Minjun was unhappy: “Zhixi is pregnant, why aren’t you letting her eat?”
“She’s already too fat, and still eating,” He Jingyao snorted coldly.
Zhixi silently put down her chopsticks: “Uncle, Aunt, I’m finished eating.”
He Yirong smiled and nodded, while Liu Minjun glared fiercely at He Jingyao.
Someone directly ignored this.
Zhixi couldn’t help but smile. She knew He Jingyao was only worried that her belly was too big, fearing that childbirth might be tough, and thus was intentionally controlling her diet during this time.
…
After dinner, due to Liu Minjun’s earnest persuasion, He Jingyao finally agreed to spend the night at the old residence.
He Yirong immediately called He Jingyao into the study.
“Have you made up your mind?” He Yirong rubbed his shoulder, sighing, “Your father, I’m really at my limits. You only care about your wife, but not about me?”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow: “I promised you I’d attend the board meeting on time.”
“No, that’s not enough,” He Yirong said sternly.
He Jingyao chuckled, saying nothing.
He Yirong was at his wit’s end, thought for a bit, and said: “Do you know Ruan Tianqi?”
He Jingyao thought for a moment, then nodded: “People from Shengkang.”
“That’s right.” He Yirong nodded, “At the beginning of this year, Ruan Tianqi officially inherited Shengkang. In just three months, he’s already been cornering and encroaching on our HI Group’s share in several fields, which is mentioned in the quarterly report. Have you even looked at it!”
He Jingyao pondered slightly, then smiled: “What, are you feeling incompetent?”
“He’s about the same age as you, keeping a low profile before, but who knew that after years of internal conflict at the Ruan Family, he would come out on top. He’s not someone to be underestimated,” He Yirong said expressionlessly, “He’s a tough character, it’s not certain you can outmatch him.”
He Jingyao seemed amused watching him: “Oh.”
“Oh?” He Yirong, seeing him not taking the bait, got anxious, “What do you mean ‘oh’? He’s not as unambitious as you! You better get back here; if next quarter’s report doesn’t have regained shares, don’t expect the board to agree for you to continue as Executive CEO!”
He Jingyao clicked his tongue: “In three months, Zhixi will give birth.”
“Does our He Family not have the means for a babysitter or a maternity nurse! Do you, a grown man, need to take care of a baby?” He Yirong glared in frustration.
“I’m willing.” He Jingyao scoffed lightly.
He Yirong was stumped into silence, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: “Then can’t you work hard for these three months? Stop thinking about slacking off! And don’t think I’m trying to provoke you; I’ve interacted with this Ruan Tianqi before, facing him doesn’t guarantee a clean retreat.”
He Jingyao curled his lips into a smile: “You were talking about letting me take a year off before, but now, just over a month, you’ve changed your mind. I can’t trust you.”
“Do you want the company or not!” He Yirong was so angry he almost flipped the table!
