Yang Shuo looked unconvinced, but his tone was a little aggrieved. “We can’t just let it go. Our families aren’t on good terms to begin with. If we tolerate this matter, Zhou Xuan will really think that the Yang family is easy to bully.”
“You don’t have to tell me that. Do you think I don’t know what you can think of? Do you think I’m willing to do that?”
Yang Ning frowned slightly. His tone was very serious and even carried a trace of anger. “If you had worked harder for me, would you have been choked by his words every time? Would it have ended up like this?”
Yang Shuo lowered his head and muttered to himself, “How am I disappointing…”
“You still have the cheek to ask me why you’re so disappointing. How can you say that? Ever since Zhou Xuan took over the Zhou Corporation, his ranking in the global corporations has been rising day by day. He’s about to approach our status. This is the certification of his strength.”
Yang Ning frowned slightly and looked at Yang Shuo. “Look at yourself. You’re the head of the company in name, but can you completely rely on yourself to support the Yang family? If I hadn’t helped you every day, the Yang family would have fallen off the rankings.”
Yang Shuo knew very well that he had not done a very good job over the years. His grandfather was right. Many things were left to his elders to clean up. Therefore, he did not dare to refute anything and could only accept it silently.
“Zhou Xuan is only a few years older than you. Not to mention that Grandpa didn’t give you a chance, the difference between the two of you can already be seen from a simple conversation. If you reach his age, can you have his strength and brains?”
Yang Ning said resentfully, “A few years ago, I asked you to completely take over a branch company. In the end, under your leadership, the branch company was almost bankrupt. How do you expect me to believe that you can become the pillar of the Yang family in the future?”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. It’s my fault. I’ve embarrassed you. But you have to believe me. I definitely won’t give up.”
Even in the face of Yang Ning’s anger, Yang Shuo did not show any more grievances or anger. Instead, he accepted it humbly and reflected on himself.
“Grandpa, I might not be comparable to Zhou Xuan now, but I’ll work hard. I believe that I’ll definitely catch up to him in the future, or even surpass him. At that time, I’ll make the Zhou Corporation forever submit to our Yang family and never be able to raise its head.”
Yang Shuo immediately pulled himself together, completely different from before. “The next time I meet Zhou Xuan and compete with him, I definitely won’t be in such a sorry state like today. I definitely can’t let him take away what I like.”
After hearing this, a gratified expression appeared in Yang Ning’s eyes. He dissipated his anger and gently stroked Yang Shuo’s head to comfort him.
“You’re indeed my good grandson. Just based on the fact that you didn’t collapse because I was angry at you and instead gave yourself more motivation to move forward, you’ll definitely be able to create a lot of achievements in the future.”
Yang Ning’s expression returned to normal, and his eyebrows relaxed. “Actually, Grandpa wasn’t really angry just now. I just wanted to test if there was a true wildness in your heart. What made me happy was that you passed.”
Yang Shuo’s eyes gradually lit up with determination. “I understand that whatever Grandpa says or does is for my own good. I won’t disappoint you.”
A perfect arc appeared on Yang Ning’s face. After pausing for a few seconds, he smiled again. “Although we’ve only met once, I’ve heard many things about Shan Yue before. I noticed her at that time.”
“That’s indeed not easy. The number of people who have caught your attention over the years can be counted on your fingers.”
Yang Shuo adjusted his emotions and raised his eyebrows. “I remember that the last young man you noticed overseas has already made a name for himself. Anyone you think is capable is destined to be extraordinary for the rest of their lives.”
“Shan Yue exudes a calmness and maturity that exceeds her peers. Back then, she was the one who helped Zhou Xuan win the openly competing Las Vegas project. From then on, I’ve investigated her..”
