The voice speaking was somewhat familiar, and Lin Xiaotian recognized who it was.
Inside the office, Chu Xiongfei's face was filled with anger.
His gaze was also filled with indifference: "So many of our family's businesses are now in your hands, and you've pushed all our family members aside."
"You've replaced everyone who used to work in the family business with small-time employees in the company."
"Do you know that this will cause everyone to vent their anger on me?"
"Everyone thinks you've gotten a great deal, and that I, as your father, can enjoy the benefits. But what about now?"
"You're not even willing to let me be a small team leader in your company?"
"Then just give me money. But you're my own son. If you don't support your parents, your reputation will suffer. You don't need anyone else to cause trouble; just let your mother make a scene, and that will be enough for you."
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue's eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness.
She knew better than anyone what kind of people those in the family were.
The reason why Chu Corporation was no longer as glorious as it once was, and its situation worsened daily, was precisely because those family members were not doing their jobs properly.
They occupied important positions throughout the company but only knew how to seek personal gain.
They didn't care about the company's development at all, always thinking that putting money into their own pockets was what truly mattered.
Even her father was no exception.
"The company will absolutely not give you a position. I've already made it clear before. Anyone who wants to join the company needs to start from the bottom and work their way up. Without talent, I will never let them be in management."
"I want to develop and strengthen Chu Corporation, not lead it into an abyss."
"When Grandpa passed away, he entrusted the company to me out of trust. I cannot fail to live up to his dying wish."
Hearing this, Chu Xiongfei became even more furious, spitting fire: "Don't use your grandfather as a shield."
"Even when your grandfather was alive, the company was developing steadily."
"And back then, the family members also held management positions. They didn't just get them after your grandfather died. I was even the deputy manager of the company then."
"After Grandpa died, I was the one who was kicked out by them. My management experience is still there."
"You must give me an answer today."
"Give me money or a position, you choose!"
Chu Nianxue's eyes showed a hint of determination: "I will not give you a position. I've already put my card here. It has over six hundred thousand yuan in it. This is all my savings."
"Even though I am the CEO and hold shares, I have never taken a single cent in dividends. Every time dividends are distributed, I reinvest them into the company."
"You know this very well, so you won't get more money from me."
Chu Xiongfei didn't believe her at all, and the anger in his eyes became even more apparent: "Stop lying to me."
"You're supporting that pretty boy Lin Xiaotian. Do you know how he spends money?"
"Someone spread the news to our family yesterday. Lin Xiaotian went gambling for stones, do you know how much he spent?"
"He spent millions on a broken rock, and the woman he was with wasn't you. You're purely using your money to support someone else's kept man. Wake up!"
Hearing this, a trace of annoyance appeared in Chu Nianxue's eyes. She knew that someone must have been gossiping and deliberately spreading rumors about Lin Xiaotian's spending, but they didn't know how much Lin Xiaotian had earned back.
Thinking of this, she directly took out the jade pendant she was wearing: "Do you see this jade pendant?"
"This is glass-type imperial green, but the value of this jade pendant alone reaches tens of millions. Lin Xiaotian gave it to me."
"And this jade pendant has other functions. It's not for sale even for a billion yuan."
Seeing this, Chu Xiongfei's eyes widened.
Although he was foolish, he had grown up in the family, and he naturally had some discernment.
He recognized that it was indeed a beautifully carved jade pendant made of glass-type imperial green.
However, he simply didn't believe what his daughter was saying.
"Can Lin Xiaotian afford to give you such exquisite jewelry?"
"Don't joke with me. Look at him now, so disheveled. What was he like when he first came into the kitchen? He's still the same now. He looks like a bumpkin who just walked out of the mountains."
Hearing this, Chu Nianxue's heart immediately felt a pang of guilt.
Lin Xiaotian had helped her so much, yet she had never gone shopping with him.
And she had never given Lin Xiaotian a gift with her own hands.
Thinking of that bright and clean smile, her heart warmed a little, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face: "Whether you believe it or not, that's the fact."
"No matter how you publicize my reputation, I won't care. What I want is the development of the entire company, not other people's opinions and judgments."
"If I really cared so much about your opinions, I wouldn't have taken over the entire Chu Corporation in the first place."
"So, you should go back!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiongfei angrily slammed the table: "You ungrateful wretch, I raised you for nothing."
"I am your biological father. Don't you even recognize me as your father anymore?"
His voice was very loud, almost a roar.
Lin Xiaotian, who was outside, heard it clearly.
He originally didn't want to go in because he knew his temper and was afraid he couldn't help but drag the guy out.
But now, he couldn't hold back.
He pushed open the door, and Lin Xiaotian revealed a bright smile: "Oh, such a lively scene!"
"I heard someone inside cursing my wife when I was at the door just now. It wasn't you, was it?"
When Chu Xiongfei looked at Lin Xiaotian, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, and then he put on a brave face and said, "What business is it of yours when I'm talking to my daughter? Get out now."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled: "I think you're the one who should get out."
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but I now hold over ninety percent of the company's shares."
Hearing this, Chu Xiongfei's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
"All the shares are in my daughter's hands, how could they be with you?"
The smile on Lin Xiaotian's face became even brighter: "You should have heard about those treasures at the antique fair before, right?"
"Because those things, can you even afford them?"
"Do you have any idea how much wealth the Chu family has?"
