Chapter 715: Unable to Accept Yu Dou
The man’s gaze was as calm as water. He opened his mouth lightly, saying, "Gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is the granddaughter of Old Sir Xu, Shi Nuan, the second daughter of President Shi, and also the third-largest shareholder of our Shi Family!"
Shi Nuan was taken aback, while the men seated reacted with a stir.
Especially the older man, who hurriedly stood up and walked forward to take Shi Nuan’s hand.
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, feeling somewhat uneasy, but she still reached out to support the old man.
The old man looked at Shi Nuan, his eyes complex and even a bit red around the edges.
He spoke with a slight tremor, "So you are Zhong Fu’s granddaughter... You’ve grown so much!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, this old man directly calling her grandfather by his given name indicated familiarity.
Grandfather’s friend?
"Grandpa... You are?"
"My surname is Huang, called Huang Shihui, a long-time close friend of your grandfather!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes lit up, "You are... Grandpa Huang?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, indeed, it’s rare you remember me. I held you when you were only five years old. Later, I immigrated to Europe with my son, and when I returned, I heard about your grandfather..."
Shi Nuan felt heavy-hearted, but seeing Grandpa Huang, who she had some impression of from her childhood, still made her very happy.
She quickly helped Grandpa Huang to sit down and then looked at the other four middle-aged men.
One of them was Grandpa Huang’s son, the other three were all people who had once received guidance from her grandfather.
In other words, they were all considered old acquaintances of her grandfather, and their hearts had always cherished his memory.
Shi Nuan’s chest ached somewhat, but undoubtedly, she also felt comforted.
It’s been over ten years since her grandfather passed away, yet so many people still remember him, she truly felt very happy.
Only, she didn’t understand, why did Yu Dou bring these people to her? What was his intention?
In front of Yu Dou, Shi Nuan didn’t feel comfortable questioning them, nor did she feel right asking Yu Dou directly in front of them.
Fortunately, Yu Dou was quite perceptive; a call came in, and he used the excuse of a small meeting to leave first.
He even courteously closed the door as he left.
After Yu Dou left, Shi Nuan asked Huang Shihui what this was all about.
Huang Shihui replied, "There’s nothing much to it. At a banquet a few days ago, I happened to see Mr. Yu, chatted with him casually, and learned you’re now working at Shi Family. I very much wanted to see you, and Mr. Yu arranged for us to come over... As for the others, they are people I’ve stayed in touch with over the years and who have also received your grandfather’s guidance. When they heard I was coming to see you, they all wanted to come with me to see you..."
"But Grandpa Huang, do you know that Yu Dou he..."
Huang Shihui nodded, "I know. I know after your grandfather’s company collapsed back then, most of the assets were acquired by your father, and Mr. Yu is now loyal to the Shi Family. I should perhaps avoid him... But child, many things aren’t as they seem. Back then, the Xu Family was taken over by your cousin, and the company collapsed within a few short years. If it weren’t for your father’s acquisition of the Shi Family, and Yu Dou helping the Shi Family to find its footing, how could your grandfather’s estate still exist in such a structured form today?"
Shi Nuan frowned. Although Huang Shihui made some valid points, she still couldn’t agree.
It was, after all, surprising how the Xu Family collapsed in just about three years.
