From Sidekick to Bigshot

It seemed as though his second brother was merely mechanically carrying out the plan that he had set up in his head.

It felt like he couldn’t feel hate or love.

Jian Yubo looked at Jian Yumin. He was silent and did not answer his brother’s question.

However, Jian Yumin saw the answer from Jian Yubo’s eyes. It was an answer that he did not want to see.

Jian Yubo did not see them as his family anymore.

He didn’t hate them. However, he couldn’t love them either.

This was because they were absent from the time when he needed their love and care the most.

Perhaps he wanted to continue to care for them. However, it was impossible for him to do so.

At this moment, tears welled up in Jian Yumin’s eyes.

His family… His family was really breaking apart…

Then, Jian Yubo turned around and spoke to Jian Yuncheng: “I want to make a deal with you.”

“What?” Jian Yuncheng questioned. He was rather confused.

“I want you to replace your father as the new CEO. As long as you manage the company well, after three years, I will give you 30% of the shares I hold under my name. The rest of the shares will be given to everyone else in the Jian family in a certain proportion. Of course, this excludes Jian Shuhong and He Yan.”

Jian Yubo’s words once again shocked the crowd.

He had gone to such lengths to force Grandpa Jian to agree to his request. However, in the end, he was planning to surrender and give away the power and the shares that he had just gotten?

He Yan, who was limp on the ground, had no energy left. She didn’t even have the strength to be shocked.

Her son was a madman! He was utterly crazy!

“Why?” Jian Yuncheng asked.

“You’re more ruthless than your father.”

Jian Yubo knew that Jian Shuxing was a soft-hearted person when it came to his family. He knew that if he gave the shares of the Jian family to Jian Shuxing, he would definitely give some of them to his brother in the end.

However, Jian Yuncheng wouldn’t do such a thing. He was more like Grandpa Jian than anyone else in the family.

“You can do it yourself, can’t you?” Jian Yuncheng said. He couldn’t understand his cousin’s actions.

Jian Yubo said with certainty: “You will accept this.”

Jian Yuncheng had no reason to refuse Jian Yubo’s offer. Either way, it was a gain for him.

This was something that Jian Yubo had calculated already.

“Okay, I will accept your offer,” Jian Yuncheng replied. “However, I will give you the opportunity to back out of the deal. You’re still part of the Jian family. You have the right to hold these shares. In fact, you can back out of the deal at any time during these three years.”

After the conference, everyone left with a heavy heart.

No one felt happy.

Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were both unhappy. It was good that He Yan had gotten what she deserved. However, seeing Jian Shuhong and their nephews in such a state wasn’t what they wanted.

Jian Yiling and Jian Yunmo were the last to leave the conference room.

Before leaving, Jian Yiling walked up to Jian Yubo who was sitting in the chairman’s spot.

Jian Yiling took out a wrapped present from her bag and put it on the table in front of Jian Yubo. Then, she turned her head and left.

Jian Yunmo didn’t leave right away. Instead, he said to Jian Yubo: “My sister made this in her spare time during the tournament. She made it with great care.”

Jian Yiling didn’t know what she could do to help Jian Yubo feel less pain.

Other than convincing her grandpa to give her part of the shares to him, Jian Yiling didn’t know what else to do.

In the end, she had made a gift for him. The gift represented her good wishes and hope for him.

Jian Yunmo could not bear the thought of his sister’s gift being trampled on by someone else. And thus, he made it clear to Jian Yubo.

Jian Yubo stared at the gift of the table for a long time. He was speechless. His eyes seemed to be glued to the gift.
