Chapter 17 - First Day (1/2)
Chapter 17: First Day
This will was for when Mr. and Mrs. Bai were not around and their daughter was too young to take care of there business. They were afraid that their daughter would have no one care for her, so they notarized a will in advance just in case such a thing happened.
It was also an unexpected situation that this came true so soon. The accident happened just half a year later after the will’s notarization.
According to the will, if both husband and wife were gone, whoever becomes their daughter’s legal guardian would manage the Bai group on her behalf and help her manage the company till she reaches adulthood. The reward was to give them 10% of the company’s shares after their daughter officially takes over the company.
Xia yang’s hands were helpless and with a wry smioe he said: “My abilities are limited, and only suitable to be an assistant. Being in charge of such a large group? I have more than enough heart but not enough strength.”
“Last time, Master Luo saw that the company almost had an accident. If not for you later catching the culprit, I’m afraid it would not have be so easy to get through the difficulty.”
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: “I’m glad the company is OK for now. If something goes wrong…”
“In short, I’d like to ask Master Luo to fulfill Mr. Bai’s will. Please help Bai family and miss Yinyin. She’s too young to support her family. There are countless challenges in the future nd my abilities are limited. I can’t guarantee that I can keep Bai group safe for 15 years.”
“To be honest with Young Master Luo, when you take over, I will offer to resign, marry my girlfriend and spend a honeymoon for a few years. After being long with the chairman, I always worked overtime day and night and had no time to accompany her.”
Luo Sheng touched a cigarette and put it on his hand without turning a bit. His eyes seemed to be deep, lost in thought.
“I know Young Master Luo doesn’t lack these 10% shares, but please help Miss Yinyin. Don’t wait for her to grow up without even a dowry…”
Afterwards Xia Yang left, Luo Sheng leaned back in his chair and nobody knew what he was thinking.
When Xia Yang got on the bus, the assistant asked, “President Xia, why did you find a dandy to help manage the company? What if it all goes wrong and you are defeated?”
A few days ago, the microblog was over searched on this issue. After several days of trouble, he stopped after seeing that the party didn’t respond. Listening to the assistant’s question, he stared at him and said, “What do you think will happen?”
The assistant was frank, but he didn’t get angry. Then he said, “What I think? The Luo group behind him is the most important.”
“The Luo family will not be greedy for the heritage of a three-year-old baby. They are a well known family and also famous and has a good reputation. President Luo’s comments are good. I’m at ease.”
“Second, once Young Master Luo agrees, even if he can’t do well, Mr. Luo will help him. No matter for fame or other reasons, Bai group won’t have an accident. Not only that, they will still have to find a way to help!”
The assistant suddenly realized, “He’s worthy of taking up the job. President Xia, you are so thoughtful!”
The more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea. He exclaimed, “You’re really a Genius!”
Xia Yang smiled and said nothing more.
It was the best time for him to quit. If the same crisis as last time happened again. It would be fine if everything was resolved smoothly but it is didn’t, he would not only be sorry to be unable to help late chairman, but also won’t be able to face the press and pressure of public opinion and the board of directors.
Xia Yang’s eyes drooped. He was a coward. When Bai group got through the crisis, he quit, won a good reputation for himself and made a glorious point in his resume. What’s more, if Bai group had any problems in the future, he won’t be the one to be blamed.
It was not that Xia Yang was not willing to take care of the property left by his mentor, but he that he couldn’t bear such a big responsibility. It was too heavy a burden to hold the family business for a three-year-old baby for 15 years.
In a quiet study.
Both father and son were together.
Mr. Luo’s legs were not yet to start walking. He was sitting in a special wheelchair, squinting and deep in thought. After a while, he looked up at his son, who was hanging around in the house.
“Luosheng, what do you think of the matter of Luo group and Bai group this time?”
The man raised his eyelids lazily and sat on the desk half an hour , which made Mr. Luo have a white eye.
“No idea,” he said lightly
Mr. Luo couldn’t look away from his face. “Really?”
Just two days after Luo family’s accident, he was hospitalised, and when he woke up after the operation, the boy was nowhere to be found. After several days, when he reappeared, the culprit behind the accident was exposed in a scandal. Mr. Luo wouldn’t believe it. He had been working in the mall for several years, and the last thing he believed was a coincidence.
Mr. Luo knew his son. He was not willing to say any and Mr. Luo knew that it was useless to ask any more questions. So Mr. Luo glared at him and said. “What’s the use of you beating up a small company outside? Come back and help dad with the company. “
“I have to rest my legs for half a year. I’m going to take your mother and Yinyin around for fun when I’m ready to come back, the company will be given to you. You take care of the company and I’ll stay at home. If you don’t understand anything, please come to me at any time.”
Mr. Luo expected that his son would not agree to his proposal so easily, but he frowned and said, “YinYin? No way. “
“That baby is my daughter.”
Mr. Luo: “…”
He coughed and raised his eyebrows: “If you don’t go to the company, I’ll take Yinyin away and play with her in your mother’s family home. You won’t be able to see her!”
Luosheng: “…”
The father and son were evenly matched and neither of them won.
After a moment, he said, “The Bai family was here today.”
When he told Mr. Luo about the will, he hesitated: “In that case you go work at the Bai group first. After two years, it would be stable there. Then you could pick up dad’s mantle. “
Mr. Luo sighed. “Xia Yang is right. An outsider can’t interfere too much. He can’t let YinYin grow up without a decent dowry. Now that we have adopted her, we have to help keep Bai company. It won’t be easy to keep it either.”
Luo Sheng frowned, shrugged and walked out. “Tut, it’s so troublesome to have a baby!”
Mr. Luo shook his head and laughed at his son’s back. Being a father is different. The old bully who ate, drank, played and did everything he wanted to, now had a sense of responsibility at last!
Shortly after the birthday party, it was just in time for the new season of kindergarten enrollment, the girl was being sent to kindergarten.
Today was the first time for the little dumpling to go to school. As soon as Mrs. Luo got up early in the morning, she started to dress the dumpling up like a little princess. She put on a beautiful skirt, small socks and small leather shoes, ties two cute little braids, and was wearing a little princess crystal hair band.
Holding the small skirt angle, the little dumpling was so excited that her face was red and she was standing at the entrance of the stairs for a long time.
Mrs. Luo is discontented, roared in a loud voice, “Luosheng, you are coming down soon, all the people who have become fathers go with their children on the first day to school. Yinyin is going to school for the first time today. How can you not go?”
“Hurry up, whet your chirp.”
Mr. Luo got on the car in a wheelchair because of the inconvenience of his legs. He was going to send the dumpling to school together with Mrs. Luo. The three people in the family of four were ready, and the father of the girl was still dawdling.
The little dumpling was really anxious. Finally, she heard her Dad coming downstairs.
Her eyes went bright, and slightly red, she was happy and boastful, and she was a little proud: “My father is so beautiful today, he must be the most handsome Daddy in the kindergarten!”
The man was dressed in black formal clothes, even the collars were buttoned up, and the indolent temperament of a delinquent was restrained which was a little more ascetic and serious.
