Chapter 315 - THE TRUST FUND (1/2)

Takahashi Kaito looked at his uncle and grandfather with a calculating glint in his eyes. This obvious expression was connived to make them believe that he had nefarious plans.

Of course, he had nefarious plans, but his intentions were beyond their comprehension. ​​

”He cannot be part of the planning department.” His eldest uncle faced the older man with unrelenting stubbornness.

The old man became angry.

”Why not? Your daughter is the head of the department. She can help him understand the company faster.” The old man countered.

”The planning department requires some level of understanding of the industry. Let me ask you, Kaito. Do you know anything about medical equipment? What about pharmaceuticals?” His uncle looked at him with the pressure of a seasoned businessman.

”Well,” Kaito smiled awkwardly. ”I am a fast learner.”

His uncle scoffed. ”The Takahashi family has experienced a lot of waves, but we have remained the premier manufacturer of medical equipment. In recent years, we have also managed to expand to the pharmaceutical market.”

”This industry does not need anyone with a casual interest. It is a world where mistakes could cause the loss of lives. Do you understand? Our reputation cannot be squandered by an outsider who has poor education.”

”Senzo! There is no need to speak to him like that. He is still your nephew.” The old man countered.

”Am I wrong? You have also investigated him. He received a poor education in a low-class university. The only good thing about him was that he had a good job in Shuriken Logistics. Now, he has quit that and come back to mooch off of the family. How can you even be sure he is your grandson?”

”He is part of the Takahashi clan. It is his right to enjoy the same benefits as your children.” The old grandpa said.

The uncle scoffed. ”Why? He has made no contributions to the family.”

”No, but his parents did, and their shares are still in my hands. Even though you are now the chairman and the CEO, you know that I still have some power.” The grandpa added while releasing his pressure.

Kaito's lips stretched into an evil smile as he watched the two.

While their animosity was real, he knew that the old man did not think of him as family. He intended to regain control of the family business and keep ruling with an iron fist.

And he wanted to use Kaito to accomplish his goals and then, kick him out.

However, he was not a mȧsȯċhɨst. And he had never been a good Samaritan.

Those who had evil intentions towards him could no longer talk.

When he found out that his uncle was chairman despite having only a small fraction of the company shares, he was a little puzzled. If that was the case, the grandfather should have the majority of the shares. But again, if he did, he would not have been kicked out easily.

So, he had investigated the reason for the anomalies and inconsistencies in the family. As it turned out, a large portion of the company shares had been held by his deceased parents.

Kaito found the story quite interesting.

In the beginning, the old man had transferred the shares to his children due to some health issues. At the time, the company was not small, but it was still growing. A lot of people were eyeing him, looking for an opportunity to swallow the company.
