"A helping hand?" Di Mingjue sneered, "Third Brother, you jest. Have you been the patriarch for a few years and forgotten who the founder is?"
Di Jue Group was founded by Di Mingjue, rising like a dark horse to become the strongest group in the capital within a short period. Di Dongsheng, the latecomer, actually dared to claim all the credit for himself?!
Di Dongsheng was left speechless by the retort and glared at Jiang Ziyu with hatred. If she hadn't interfered, how could Di Mingjue, a vegetable, be standing here arguing with him?!
"Whether the company is good or bad, I don't care. Why is Third Brother so anxious?" Di Mingjue reiterated.
After a few seconds of silence, Di Dongsheng retorted, dissatisfied, "Brother Mingjue, although the company was founded by you, I've been maintaining it all these years. My hard work is also in it."
"Heh, really? If there was no company to begin with, how could there be a latter one to maintain?" Di Mingjue taunted him unceremoniously. His words were cold, showing no regard for family ties.
Di Dongsheng's mouth opened and closed, unable to refute. When Di Mingjue founded Di Jue Group back then, everyone was waiting for him to fail so they could mock him. Little did they expect that he not only succeeded but also amassed a fortune of hundreds of billions. Di Dongsheng had been jealous for years and finally had a chance to seize his achievements, so how could he bear to give it up?
He walked up to Di Mingjue, staring into his vacant eyes with ill intent. "Cousin, I am the current president of the company. Hundreds of people are waiting for me to support them. How can I not be anxious?"
"In that case, I will take over the company from now on. Third Brother need not trouble himself with the day and night toil."
*Thump!*
Zhao Yanxia's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground. Losing control of the company was equivalent to losing the position of the Di family patriarch!
In his haste, Di Dongsheng blurted out, "Cousin just woke up. He's weak and can't see. How can he handle the company's affairs? The employees, upon seeing this, will not be convinced by you."
"Third Brother need not worry. Since I have spoken, I naturally have a way," Di Mingjue replied.
Di Dongsheng felt as if a thousand ants were crawling in his heart. He dug his fingernails into his palm, bit his lip, and after a moment of silence, said, "Cousin doesn't trust me?"
Di Mingjue was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "I heard there were some issues with projects at the overseas branch company recently. Does Third Brother know about it?"
Compared to Di Jue Group, the branch companies were insignificant, not even comparable. All these years, Di Dongsheng had focused on taking over Di Jue Group, replacing some of the original personnel with his own people. As for the branch companies, he had paid them no attention. Di Mingjue's mention reminded him that there was a company overseas. However, the industries involved in that company were in a grey area. How could there be problems all of a sudden? Di Dongsheng looked at Di Mingjue, puzzled.
"I believe in Third Brother's capabilities. I will feel more at ease with Third Brother inspecting it," Di Mingjue said.
Jiang Ziyu crossed her arms, looking at Di Mingjue with admiration. He was indeed as ruthless as the rumors said. She knew about the mess overseas, so how could Di Dongsheng not? With things as they were, Di Dongsheng was like a lamb to the slaughter. No matter how meticulously he planned, he couldn't outwit Di Mingjue.
"I have already arranged for Shen Lin to process the flight tickets for Third Brother and Sister-in-law to go abroad. Please pack your belongings as soon as possible and do not delay."
"With so many people in the company, why must our Dongsheng go abroad to manage an insignificant small company? You are simply using and discarding him. Without Dongsheng, during the time you were lying in bed, the company would have already collapsed. It wouldn't have waited for you to wake up?" Zhao Yanxia rushed forward to defend him. Di Dongsheng beside her did not stop her.
Zhao Yanxia put her hands on her hips, her face flushed as she scolded, "When you drink water, you shouldn't forget the people who dug the well. Aren't you afraid of outsiders knowing how you treat your own brother? I think you married a jinx who has confused you and made you disregard kinship and brotherhood."
"Sister-in-law, if you have this much time, it would be better to pack your luggage. Going abroad is not a vacation; life there won't be easy," Jiang Ziyu kindly reminded her.
Zhao Yanxia certainly knew her husband's capabilities. Without the support of powerful figures abroad, he would be like a fish out of water! Seeing that the matter was settled, she threw a tantrum and sat on the ground, crying out.
