When Zhang Aimin’s voice fell, Zhang Cheng and the others present turned pale. They looked at Zhang Aimin in disbelief. They could never have imagined that Zhang Aimin would want to become the head of the Zhang family!
"Zhang Aimin, what do you mean? You want to be the head of the Zhang family?" Zhang Cheng asked with a cold face. He truly did not expect Zhang Aimin to harbor such ambition.
"Yes, I want to be the head of the Zhang family!" Zhang Aimin replied.
"Presumptuous!" Zhang Cheng berated. "How can someone like you be the head of the Zhang family? I think you’re delusional!"
"That’s right, my dad is the head of the Zhang family. What right do you, a woman, have to be the head?" Zhang Ming scoffed.
"Why can't a woman be the head of the Zhang family?" Zhang Aimin calmly retorted. "Under your father, the Zhang family has been in decline. With Li Se's support, and as you all know his medical skills, plus the hemostatic and pain relief medicines as aids once I become the head, with my abilities, it is not impossible to lead the Zhang family to greater heights!"
"Impossible!" Zhang Cheng would never yield the position of family head to Zhang Aimin. "If the Zhang family truly makes you the head, will this Zhang family still be called Zhang, or will it become Li?"
This time, only Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ming were vehemently opposed. Zhang Li and Tang Ru remained silent. Since Zhang Aimin was their daughter, if their daughter could become the head of the Zhang family, their lives would completely improve. Thus, in their hearts, they naturally supported her. At the very least, Zhang Li could get a CEO position in the company.
Wouldn't that be a grand ambition? Zhang Li thought blissfully.
"Alright, all of you, be quiet!" Zhang Mao said in a deep voice.
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ming stopped talking, but their faces were filled with dissatisfaction. If they had to give up the position of Zhang family head, they would rather not have the hemostatic and pain relief medicines.
"Dad, she's a woman. If you really hand over the Zhang family to her, who knows if the Zhang family will eventually bear the surname Li," Zhang Cheng said through gritted teeth.
"You don't need to teach me!" Zhang Mao knew this all too well. Zhang Aimin was a woman after all, and she would get married. His remaining days were numbered, and he understood Zhang Aimin's personal abilities. Once Zhang Aimin became the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ming might not be able to suppress her. As for Zhang Li and Tang Ru, they would likely support it with both hands.
By then, even if the Zhang family entered the ranks of second-rate families, it would likely fall apart.
"Xiao Min, I know you are capable. If you were a man, I would definitely hand the Zhang family over to you, but you are a woman, and I cannot entrust the Zhang family to you." Zhang Mao shook his head. "Other than this condition, you can ask for anything else. As long as I can do it, I will agree."
"Then there's nothing to discuss." Zhang Aimin said calmly. "I only have this one condition: either the entire Zhang family makes money with me, or I make money myself. It's that simple."
"Heh heh, Zhang Mao, if you let Sister Min become the head, I might be able to extend your life by another half a year," Li Se suddenly said at this moment.
Zhang Mao's expression changed. A glint flashed in his already dim eyes. He looked at Li Se excitedly, "Really?"
"Of course!" As Zhang Aimin's man, Li Se naturally had to help her become the head of the Zhang family. Moreover, for some reason, he felt he would definitely go to the capital, and if he could win over the Zhang family, it would be of great help to his future development there.
"To be honest, if I'm willing, it won't just be half a year, but perhaps three to four years. Of course, I can extend your life every six months!"
As Li Se's words fell, Zhang Mao's body trembled. His expression was filled with excitement, and his ambition was evident in his eyes.
"I'll consider it." However, Zhang Mao had not completely lost his reason, and who knew if this life extension was true or not.
"Alright, you consider it." Li Se said no more, took Zhang Aimin's hand, and said, "Sister Min, let's go."
"Dad, he's just lying! You only have two to three months left. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws. He himself said so back then, and now he says he can extend your life for three to four years. He's completely deceiving you!" Zhang Cheng said anxiously.
Li Se didn't bother to argue, and instead took Zhang Aimin away.
Zhang Mao closed his eyes. He truly didn't want to die. He also had some trust in Li Se's medical skills. If the other party could really extend his life, perhaps he could live for three to four more years. Even if it was only three to four years, it would be enough.
"Dad!"
"Grandpa..."
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ming were still shouting.
"Be quiet!" Zhang Mao shouted. "All of you get out! I want to be alone!"
"Then Dad, can I get up now?" Zhang Li asked.
"Mm." Zhang Mao nodded.
Tang Ru said with a smile, "Actually, my daughter is quite good. It's not impossible for her to become the head. If you're worried, you can let her manage it first, and then slowly hand it over to my husband in the future."
Zhang Cheng's face turned extremely grim upon hearing this. As he left, a fierce look flashed in his eyes…
On the way back, Zhang Aimin looked at Li Se in surprise. "Can you really extend that old rascal's life?"
"Yes, but it's a bit troublesome. But living another three to four years is not a problem," Li Se nodded.
"Then that old rascal got off easy," Zhang Aimin snorted coldly.
Li Se smiled. "Letting him watch you take control of the Zhang family step by step might be the greatest revenge for him!"
"You're right." Zhang Aimin's eyes lit up. She leaned over and kissed Li Se on the cheek. "Thank you!"
"What's between us that you need to say thank you? This is all what I should do. Of course, if you really want to thank me, you can thank me properly at home," Li Se chuckled.
Zhang Aimin's face flushed. "Alright, I'll serve you well at home!"
Li Se immediately stepped on the accelerator.
In the evening, after they had intimate moments several times, they were both very satisfied. Zhang Aimin lay in Li Se's arms, a happy smile on her face.
However, at this moment, Li Se's phone rang. Seeing that it was Nie Huacan calling, he answered and heard a trembling voice on the other end, "Are you... Doctor Li? I'm the Nie family's butler. The master asked me to call you."
"What's wrong?" Li Se asked, looking puzzled.
"He... he's been shot!"
