Chapter 818 Touched Him
"Okay, you just coax her first."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai finally had time to sit down and rest, Cheng Xiangdi started chatting with him.
"Mu Bai, why didn't you see your father? Did he go out today?"
"I'm busy at the company. I have to go to the company every day to check on him. I'm so old but I still can't let go."
"I see. After all, your father built the company and treated him like his own child. I can understand why he is worried. But he is so old, you should persuade him to take good care of his health."
"Okay uncle, my dad looks quite old but he is in good health, you can rest assured about that. Uncle, you also need to take good care of yourself."
"Yeah, I see your father is in such good spirits, and sometimes I envy him."
"Uncle, you are also in good spirits, so don't envy my dad. You are a few years younger than my dad, but you don't look like someone of the same age. Maybe it's because of your fitness and self-discipline. My dad doesn't exercise, and his favorite exercise is taking a walk in the garden after dinner."
"Really? It's nice to be able to go out and move around. After all, the Jiang family is doing so well now and your father's company has so many things that need him to deal with. Mr. Jiang is usually very busy and certainly doesn't have much time. It's a rare opportunity to go out for a walk."
"Well, sometimes seeing how busy he is, I really want to persuade him to let go and hand over the company to professionals. He has made enough money anyway, so it would be better for him to retire early and enjoy a peaceful life."
"If your father was in my situation, we could give it a try, but now that you're back and the baby is born, Mr. Jiang should stay home and spend more time with you and the child."
"I'm also very conflicted. I'm afraid that after I persuade him, he will really give up and hand the company over to me. I've never managed a company before. Plus, he's still young, so I don't want to leave him. So if my dad is still energetic, I can let him go out and work for the company. Anyway, he has plenty of abilities and ideas, and he won't change just because I persuade him."
"This is something that Mr. Jiang really needs to think about carefully. I see that Mr. Jiang is in such a good mental state that he probably has no intention of retiring. So if you think about it, you can spend more time with him at home."
"Yes, my dad is not a person who likes to take a rest. If a person like him retires and really doesn't care about the company, he will definitely not be able to sit idle. He probably has plans and ideas in his mind about this matter. We can only see what he thinks at that time. From what you said just now, uncle, it seems that you want to retire?"
"Yes, I want to retire without a daughter or grandchild, but your father is still working in the company. If we compare them, Mr. Jiang is more capable than me. But if I retire now, what will happen to Yunchuan's grandparents' business? Yunchuan doesn't want to manage it. He says that Cheng's is enough for him. And if I really hand over the company to him, he will have to travel abroad frequently. He is still so young and he will definitely not want to not see you often."
"Yes, Yunchuan may have considered this, but we all know him and know what he is thinking. Yunchuan sincerely believes that it is best for the Cheng family's assets to be handed over to you, uncle. It is enough for him to have the Cheng family now."
"No wonder Yunchuan likes you. You said exactly the same thing to him."
"If I didn't understand him, we wouldn't have been able to end up together, right? Yunchuan respects you as his uncle very much. He has seen you help him manage the Cheng family's assets over the years. It's not that we don't appreciate the things the Cheng family left for him now that we are better off and have the Cheng family. It's that Yunchuan thinks that he has never been involved in the management of these assets. You have always been the one managing them, and he can easily get them without doing anything. Yunchuan doesn't like this, so he rejected your idea."
"Mu Bai, you don't need to tell me this. Yunchuan is my nephew. I have lived with him for so long that I certainly understand his thoughts. He has been an obedient and sensible child since he was young. The most rebellious time was when he entered the entertainment industry to become a star without telling me. Even so, he never let me worry about him. I know that he always treats me as his own uncle in his heart, and I also treat him as my own nephew."
"The reason I told him those things was because I didn't want his grandparents' property to fall into the hands of an outsider like me."
"Uncle, how can you be an outsider? You are Yunchuan's biological uncle. Didn't you just say that you always treat Yunchuan as your own nephew? Moreover, you and Yunchuan have the same surname, Cheng, and you are both members of the Cheng family. This is an unchangeable fact. Yunchuan's grandparents must be very satisfied to see that you have managed the Cheng family's business so well."
Jiang Mubai's words were sincere and heartfelt. Although Cheng Yunchuan had said similar things to Cheng Xiangdi before, after Jiang Mubai said this, Cheng Xiangdi felt as if what he had done over the years was recognized by others. He thought that if even Jiang Mubai, his nephew's wife, thought so, then his nephew Cheng Yunchuan must think so too.
"Uncle, don't say anything about handing the company over to Yunchuan in the future. We are all family, so stop saying those inappropriate things. My husband and I have always treated you as our uncle, but you keep saying those inappropriate things and don't consider yourself a member of the Cheng family. If Yunchuan's grandparents in heaven see this, they will probably be sad too."
"Okay, since you said so, Mu Bai, then uncle will never say these words again."
"That's fine, but uncle, don't think about leaving all the Cheng family's assets to Xiang Xiang when he grows up. Yunchuan and I want to be open-minded parents. We won't hand over the company to our child just because Cheng's business is doing well. Xiang Xiang has his own ideals and pursuits, and we won't trap him because of our own affairs."
After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, Cheng Xiangdi's heart trembled, because he had indeed thought about this in his mind just now. After all, he had no plans to get married and start a family in his life, so naturally he would not have his own children. If Cheng Yunchuan didn't want Cheng Xiangdi, he would have no children to inherit the Cheng family's property, so in the end it would still return to Xiang Xiang. However, what Jiang Mubai told him now had already stopped him from thinking this.
"The Cheng family's assets will still be given to you. You don't have to care about the company and you don't need to manage it yourself. Just hand it over to a professional team. You don't want Yunchuan's grandparents to lose all their hard work, right? I may live like this in my life and have no children to inherit these things. Won't they still belong to your family then? I can't use that much money by myself. If you don't want it, think about it."
"He is still young and can't understand what I say. Don't take advantage of him and refuse for him. I have to wait until he grows up to ask him in person. The little guy is so greedy that he will definitely want the things I give him. With money on him, he can do more things and have more choices, right?"
"Okay, we won't help him refuse. When he grows up, you can ask him yourself. Uncle, you also know that he is a money-grubber, right?"
