Chapter 257 The younger one dismissed the older one 2
He Niancai refused to believe that Xu Pingtao hadn't contributed anything.
Even if Xu Pingtao didn't take any money this time, the investment money must have come from her dowry.
Even if we round it up, it still comes from Xu Pingtao, which means it came from the He family.
Why can't there be members of the He family in the company?
“Brother-in-law, you can’t say that. You are Wan Cheng’s elder. If she has any conscience, she will not forget the kindness you have shown her, which is also the kindness the He family has shown her. Now is the time for her to give back to the He family. Letting the young members of the He family come to her company can be considered as training.”
“Brother-in-law, you took over the He family from Sister Lin, you can’t just abandon the whole He family, can you? I believe you wouldn’t do something like taking advantage of someone who has no descendants.”
He Nian immediately grabbed Xu Pingtao with a gun and a stick and lifted him up.
Xu Pingtao, however, was not buying it.
"Eating off the heir's family fortune? I want to ask you today, are you speaking on behalf of He Nian, or the entire collateral branch of the He family?! I'm making a call right now!"
"No, no, no, brother-in-law, I didn't mean that."
He Nian quickly stopped Xu Pingtao.
Xu Pingtao has been in charge of the He family business for over ten years. Previously, he and He Lin managed it together. The He family business has never visited any of the collateral branches of the He family, since the blood relationship is actually very distant.
Previously, Xu Pingtao's son had passed away, and Xu Pingtao had no descendants. The members of the He family's collateral branches only dared to think about adopting a child for Xu Pingtao to inherit the family property, and none of them dared to directly replace him.
Moreover, Xu Pingtao now has descendants. If he were to fall out with the entire collateral branch, it would be easy for them to be separated from the He family.
If this happens, the other families on the collateral side will hate Xu Pingtao, but they will also hate his family, the instigators. They may not be able to do anything to Xu Pingtao, but they will definitely make his family suffer.
He Nian dared not let this happen.
“Brother-in-law, that’s not what I meant. We’ve never argued with you before, so of course I have no problem with you. I’m just really concerned about our son. He’s quite capable, so I’m sending him to Wancheng Company to gain some experience.”
"Experience?" Xu Pingtao sneered. "If you want to train young people, I have a way. Just give them ten million and let them start their own businesses."
He Nian never even considered such a thing.
Give that good-for-nothing spendthrift son of his ten million?
He probably called up his cronies overnight, chartered a cruise ship, and went on a world tour.
Besides, he's not like Xu Pingtao, who owns the entire He Group and can easily come up with ten million.
"This...how can this be?"
“Why not? That’s how I got my Dongfang Yasong. It’s not worth much now, just over a billion. If your son had that kind of experience, I would definitely welcome him to work for my company.”
A market value of over a billion isn't enough?
If He Nian's son had such ability, would he need to shamelessly fawn over Shen Wancheng's new company just to get in?
"Night...."
He Nian wanted to say something more, but Shen Wancheng yawned loudly.
Gu Jinxing immediately asked, "Tired?"
Xu Pingtao chimed in, "If you're tired, go back to sleep with Jinxing. You've been busy all day with your big belly, and you still don't get any rest at night. Go and get some rest."
Shen Wancheng yawned and got up, with Gu Jinxing helping her.
"Then I'll go back now, Grandpa."
After saying goodbye to Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng smiled faintly at He Nian and said something.
"Grandpa, you should go back to holding your grandson. Stop licking your old face for your son. It's useless. My company doesn't hire useless people."
After saying this, Shen Wancheng didn't care whether He Nian was angry or annoyed, and directly had Gu Jinxing help her leave.
He Nian pointed at Shen Wancheng's back and stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Brother-in-law, if she's already this lawless now, what will she be like in the future? She treats you like this now, and she'll treat you like this in the future!"
"No, I have a sense of shame, not you. Don't confuse yourself with me."
"Brother-in-law, you..."
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early as you get older."
"He Chuan, see the guests off."
This time, He Chuan was more experienced; he brought bodyguards with him as soon as he entered the living room.
He Nian also knew about the incident where his eldest son was thrown out of the He Mansion by the bodyguards. Faced with the two bodyguards, he had no temper left and slunk away.

Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing returned to their home, washed up, and went to bed to talk.
Shen Wancheng came out first and sat against the headboard.
After Gu Jinxing came out, he went to her side and said, "Sit on the sofa? Shall I give you a massage?"
"it is good."
Shen Wancheng sat down on her custom-made beanbag chair, and Gu Jinxing sat behind her and gave her a massage.
The tension of the day gradually eased.
Shen Wancheng felt the fatigue of the whole day quickly dissipating.
I don't know why, but she didn't feel sleepy at all today, even though she didn't take a nap.
"Gu Jinxing, did we break even today?"
Gu Jinxing continued massaging Shen Wancheng while thinking.
"The tech company has definitely broken even, but the mobile company might not. Zhang Qidong should give us a financial statement tomorrow. Aren't you sleepy? Don't think about it anymore, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"I wasn't sleepy. Of course I was faking it at the He family's house."
"I thought you were really sleepy."
Shen Wancheng grabbed Gu Jinxing's hand that was massaging her temples, stood up, and went back to bed with him.
Shen Wancheng then said, "I don't know why, but I'm a little excited."
As she spoke, Shen Wancheng adjusted her position, finding a comfortable one in Gu Jinxing's arms.
Gu Jinxing chuckled, "Is it because mobile phone sales are booming today?"
"Hmm...more or less. I don't know why, but I didn't have this feeling when the Oriental Elegance Starry Sky Watch was all the rage."
"Perhaps it's because you're in the second or third trimester now, and your emotions are more sensitive and fluctuate more."
Shen Wancheng lay in Gu Jinxing's arms and looked at him.
He said, half-praise, half-jokingly, "You're getting more and more knowledgeable!"
"As I've said before, I can't share your physical feelings, but I have an obligation to understand and empathize with them, and of course, I will continue to try to understand them."
"Yes, you didn't just talk the talk, so I commend you."
Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow, "Just a verbal praise?"
Shen Wancheng blinked, her eyes full of innocence, "Then how do you want to praise me?"
"You're the one being praised, so of course it has to be something you think yourself to be sincere."
Shen Wancheng suddenly propped herself up and sat up, then climbed onto Gu Jinxing and straddled him.
She winked at Gu Jinxing again, "A reward?"
Shen Wancheng was wearing a milky white silk nightgown, her skin was fair and she looked radiant under the light.
Because of their current posture, Gu Jinxing inexplicably thought of his intimate moment with Shen Wancheng that night in the thatched hut in the mountain village.
Gu Jinxing's throat bobbed.
He sat up straight, hugged Shen Wancheng in his arms, and asked her a question in her ear.
"Is Mrs. Gu craving it too?"
