Chapter 240 was the plan for the future

Li Luo and Li Mei were in Qian Momo's room. They were surprised by Momo's makeup stash. "Sister Momo, I know this lipstick. It's a very famous brand."

"If you like it, it's yours." Qian Momo liked to be flattered. Her two cousins were quite sweet. Although their looks were average and it would be a waste to give such a good lipstick, she thought she could give it away as a favor.

Shuishui and Qian Anzhi went up to Anzhi's room. Qian Anzhi could hear the laughter from Momo's room next door. Shuishui sat down in amusement and said, "The soundproofing here isn't very good."

"Yes, that's why it's so annoying. Big Sister's voice is getting louder and louder. She doesn't know how to restrain herself at all. She doesn't look like a woman at all." He squatted down to look for something, but he was still complaining. "When Li Luo and Li Mei arrived, they became noisier. They would laugh out loud every day. I'm tortured by their voices every single day. I feel like I need to get my ears checked."

Shuishui knocked on the wall. "I remember now. The walls between your two rooms were made thicker. No wonder it had become soundproof. However, she can't really pester you because you go to school every day. Why don't you apply to live on campus?"

He felt that it was a good idea. The atmosphere at home was not conducive to learning.

The next room was noisier than ever. Qian Anzhi's temper flared up. He knocked hard on the wall so Momo and the other girls could hear. "Why are you making so much noise?" he shouted.

The girls in the next room were shocked. Qian Momo stood up. "Wait a moment. I'll go over to Anzhi's room."

Qian Momo stormed out of her room and knocked on Qian Anzhi's door. "Open the door. Why are you making so much noise? You just arrived! Why are you knocking so hard?" Momo shrieked.

Qian Anzhi opened the door and answered in a sarcastic tone, "What's the problem? You guys are so noisy. Why? Can't I say anything? Big Sis, do you know that your laughter is really unpleasant? How will your boyfriend tolerate it? No—do you even have a boyfriend?"

"How dare you mock me." Qian Momo was so angry that she wanted to make a move.

Qian Anzhi pushed her forcefully. "Don't touch me. I don't want to be touched by you. If you touch me again, I will fight back," he said angrily.

"You dare to fight back?" Qian Momo reached out to grab Qian Anzhi. Shuishui stood up and said, "That's enough. Do you really need to fight with him on something that petty?"

"You're back, but why are you so nosy?" Qian Momo retracted her hand. She hated Shuishui very much. Shuishui had previously refused to help her with Mu Ziyu, and she even blocked her number on her phone.

Shuishui crossed her arms and leaned against the door. "What does my nosiness have to do with you?"

"You . . ." Qian Momo couldn't win against Shuishui in any argument.

Li Mei and Li Luo walked out. "Sister Shuishui," Li Mei said softly.

They were looking at Shuishui.

Shuishui looked at them but didn't respond. "All right. There's nothing much to see here. Let's just mind our own affairs. There's no need for you to make a scene."

"Who's making a big fuss? You're back, and you still talk that way. I don't even know why you're back. Oh, right. Did you know that your room has been converted into a lounge? You still don't know, right?" Qian Momo said in a mocking tone. She was furious at Shuishui's words.

Shuishui shrugged. "I don't mind. I have my own place that I can go back to tonight. Besides, why can't I come back here? Is this property written in your name? From what I know, it's Dad's."

"It'll be mine in the future too," Qian Momo said confidently.

Shuishui rolled her eyes, "Is that so? Maybe it will be yours in the future, but it's not yours now. There's nothing much to say about it."

It was not a good thing to be too confident. Qian Momo's current attitude made Shuishui feel uncomfortable. Although they were not from the same mother, they were from the same father and shared the same blood. However, Momo had never treated the previous Shuishui well. She had never treated Shuishui like a younger sister, so Shuishui did not treat her like family either. Even if Qian Momo got hurt in front of her, she would not feel anything.

They argued but stopped when Qian An walked over towards them. He scolded Momo because she was the older sister but she still behaved like an immature young lady.

That evening, Uncle Li and Second Uncle Li had brought gifts. The elders gave red envelopes to the children and sat down at the dining table.

Qian An was a little cold to the brothers because they had brought trouble to the company. Although he did not have anything to prove that they were against the company's good interests, he knew that they were behind many of the company's misfortunes.

He had something to announce during dinner that night. There were other people there, but he decided to push through with it.

During dinner, they chatted about family matters. What was unusual was that the Li brothers were unusually very chatty with Shuishui. First Uncle Li looked at Shuishui kindly and even thoughtfully gave Shuishui a piece of dong po meat. "Shuishui, you've lost weight. Going to the capital alone was a pretty good experience, wasn't it?"

"It's not bad." Shuishui wondered what this uncle was thinking.

"Although the capital is a good place, it's not your home after all. As the saying goes, a nest of gold and silver is not as good as your own doghouse. When you go home, get some rest. You'll get to rest more during these holidays." Uncle Li's words were not a problem. He still had the demeanor of an elder.

Shuishui ate quietly and did not feel like talking.

"Actually, Shuishui's short hair suits her," Aunt Li suddenly said. She really wanted to point it out. She found the hairstyle very attractive on Shuishui. He daughter's short hair made her look childish.

"Thank you," Shuishui replied politely.

Qian Anzhi added, "No wonder something about you seems different. You cut your hair short. It looks really good. Your skin is also good. Second Sister, some of the girls in my class are starting to have acne. You didn't even go through that phase."

"I think I have good metabolism. I also exercise regularly to detoxify," Shuishui answered casually. Her sleeping times were also regular and consistent. She also had a normal diet, although she would occasionally eat spicy food. She also jogged and ran frequently, and she had a good physical training regimen under Teacher Li's martial arts classes.

Qian Anzhi hadn't been to Teacher Li's place for a few days. Teacher Li had given him a break. In fact, he had been going there for a long time, and he realized that he hadn't learned anything. For him, boxing was so impractical, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

Teacher Li saw through Qian Anzhi. He realized that the young boy's interest in boxing was slowly fading. He only taught Qian Anzhi the basics as a way to strengthen his body. How much he could learn was up to him. He only agreed to take Anzhi in as another student because of Shuishui.

"Your Uncle Jiang is right—" Uncle Li wanted to know who Jiang Yuan was, but he was interrupted by Qian An. Qian An wanted to test the Li brothers. "I have something to say," Qian An said.

"The children are all grown up. I have set aside three million yuan for each of the three children. Shuishui and Anzhi can withdraw it when they reach *****hood, and Momo's fund can be withdrawn after a year. I'm also getting older. I'm getting weaker and weaker, and sometimes the company's affairs become too much for me to handle," he said. He saw that the Li brothers' expressions had changed. Qian An knew he had to take action.

"Brother-in-law, what are you saying? You're still young! The company still depends on you!" Second Uncle Li said. He really intended to flatter Qian An.

Shuishui looked at Second Uncle Li's face. It was clear that he was very happy. He couldn't even pretend to be worried. The smile on the corner of his mouth showed that he was very happy. He wanted her father to give up his position. Little did he know that even if her father gave up his position, there were other directors who would fill in the role. The Li brothers would definitely not be considered for such a role.

Qian An nodded. "Naturally, I have to prepare for it as early as now. There are still many things that I haven't done. When the company's recent affairs have been settled, I will choose to carry out the selection again. I will be a good-natured shareholder and will no longer interfere in the company's concerns. "

Li Xue quickly thought of her two brothers. "Hubby, why don't you let Big Brother and Second Brother help you? It would be better if you make someone from your family in charge rather than an outsider." Li Xue felt that if Qian An wasn't in charge, their family would no longer profit from the company. She could only be at ease if one of her family members was in charge.

Shuishui looked at Li Xue. Li Xue was a woman who would do her best to take advantage of others. Li Xue obviously wanted her brothers to control the company so she could also profit from it. On the other hand, her father was in charge of the company's shares, and the annual dividends were handled by him. If someone from the Li family is put in charge, the internal balance of the company would be greatly affected. No one among the Li family members were shareholders of the company anyway. They were simply working for Qian An.

The Li brothers looked at Qian An eagerly. They were waiting for him to give them an answer in their favor.

Qian An shook his head. "I don't have the right to do that. Besides, there are three other shareholders who won't agree to it. This company isn't controlled by the Qian family, and even the Li family does not have any say in its affairs."

The Li brothers were embarrassed.

Shuishui looked at her father. Wasn't her father being too impulsive? Wasn't he afraid that the Li brothers would hold a grudge against him?

Qian Anzhi, being a silly young lad, interrupted the conversation. "Dad, when I grow up, I'll definitely join the company and help you."

The Li brothers' faces became even darker. Shuishui continued to quietly eat fruits. Anzhi was simply sticking his knife in. It was obviously not appropriate to say such words at such a time.

Qian An smiled and nodded. "As expected of a good man from the Qian family!"

"Dad, look at Anzhi. He's only a third-year junior high student, while I'm already about to start working. Dad, give me a position. I can work in the company." Qian Momo fantasized about being the president of her father's company. She imagined a large group of people looked at her with envy. She imagined some of them saying, "That girl is so young, but she's already the president. That's amazing!"

Just thinking about it made her feel proud and haughty. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had to hurry up and get a higher position. She couldn't wait to tell her friends and brag about being the one with the highest position.

Only then did Li Xue realize that she had to secure a good position in the company for her eldest daughter. She said, "That's right, hubby, Momo isn't young anymore. She should join the company and learn how to do things so that she can share in your burdens."

The Li brothers kept quiet because they were embarrassed.

Qian An pondered for a moment and said, "It would be good for Momo to join the company. She should start from the bottom and study hard."

"What? Dad, I don't want to start from the bottom!" Momo answered with a high voice.

"It will be beneficial to you, and you will be able to quickly learn how the company operates. Once you get to learn how things work there, I'll arrange a position for you according to your ability." Qian An did not want to act rashly and wanted to assess Momo objectively.

Momo was dissatisfied. "No, Dad, give me the position of director or something. This way, I can also learn. I'm your daughter. If others know that I'm going to start from the bottom, wouldn't they laugh at me?"

Momo raised her head as she argued. She didn't want to start working in a rank and file position. It was too embarrassing for her. It would be a disgrace if people found out she was actually the director's daughter.

Qian An's spoiled daughter didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all. She sighed deeply. Qian An said, "I will give you two choices. One is to start in a rank and file position in the company, and the second is to find a job of your own. I don't care which you choose."

"Daddy, how can you be like this? You've always been biased towards Shuishui since we were young. I am only asking for a position, but you won't even give it to me! I'm your daughter!" She put down her chopsticks and stood up. She huffed and stomped her feet as she returned to her room.

Qian An watched her walk away and angrily said, "Come back!"

Qian Momo ignored her father's call, and Qian An became furious. It was the first time the children had seen him so angry. Shuishui quickly comforted Qian An. "Dad, don't be angry."

Shuishui gently patted Qian An's back. Shuishui was annoyed that Qian Momo really threw a tantrum in front of the members of the Li family.

Shuishui found the whole dinner a bit too pretentious, and many thoughts ran through her mind.

Qian An patted his chest and sighed. He said, "Forget it. Shuishui, there's no need to pat me anymore. I'm fine."

Qian Anzhi observed what happened around him, and he was sure that something wasn't right. His dad was so angry, and Momo just walked out. It was a little awkward. If it were him, he would have stopped and apologized to their father.

He had seen his father getting angry before, but he had never seen him that angry.

Li Xue hurriedly went forward. "Hubby, don't be angry. Momo is still young and insensible."

"She's already an *****, but she still acts like that. Forget it. I'll send Shuishui and Anzhi back to the apartment tonight. Shuishui just got off the plane this morning and hadn't slept yet. It's better if she goes home early to rest." He stood up and prepared to send the two children back to the apartment.

Second Uncle Li hurriedly stood up. "Brother-in-law, let me help you send the two children home."

"There's no need. Anzhi, pack up your things. Hurry." He didn't really want to talk to any members of the Li family.

Li Xue bit her lower lip. "Shuishui, it would be better if you stay here at home tonight. There aren't many people at the apartment, so it's not safe there either."

Shuishui answered, "I think it's quite safe there, so I won't stay here any longer."

The others didn't expect such an unpleasant dinner.

Qian Momo slammed the door and stayed in her room with a huff.

Li Xue felt a headache coming on. "Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm sorry. I guess I won't be able to serve you guys tea tonight."

"En, it's fine. You should also try to persuade Momo. Qian An won't put her in a place that would not be beneficial to her. Starting from the bottom is indeed the fastest way to understand how the company works," Uncle Li said, persuading Li Xue. He also felt that it would be beneficial to them if Momo was in the company.

Li Xue nodded. "I'll have a good talk with Momo later."

Qian An left with Shuishui and Qian Anzhi. As soon as they got into the car, Shuishui said, "Dad, does the company still have enough funds? You've deposited three million for each of us. Won't that affect the company's finances?"

She was worried. Her father had even prepared assets for her for when she grew up. In fact, she didn't need them. She only needed her father to be healthy. Nothing else mattered to her.

Qian An started the car and closed his eyes. "Some things have happened recently. It's good to be prepared. If something really does happen, at least I was able to secure funds for you."

Qian Anzhi was a little nervous. The atmosphere wasn't quite right. He didn't think that his father was getting old. "Dad, what are you talking about? How could something happen?"

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that his father was already getting old.
