Chapter 222: It's either you or me!
'Over the years, he, Ji Guangsheng, has also made a lot of money. He says that the Ji family is not doing well and is not as good as it once was. However, he has only been in Huang County for a month, and he has already opened three pharmaceutical factories, a large company, and more than a dozen warehouses!'
'Which of these things doesn't require money? Is this a sign of poor performance?
Ji Changming became more and more angry as he spoke, and even knocked on the table with his hand.
The mahogany office desk creaked as he knocked on it.
He didn't know that Ji Guangsheng had gambled away almost all of his assets.
He stubbornly believed that this was the best proof that Ji Guangsheng was rich!
Before he died, Dad told him to take good care of himself and Lao San, but now he treats them like beggars, only giving them a little money at the end of the year.
Isn't this a sign that he wants to swallow up the Ji family's assets all by himself?
No matter what he says, I won't let him get away with it. Ji Changming has endured for so many years, but that's enough.
This time, I'm going all out, to get Ji Guangsheng to step down as chairman. The Ji family's power has to be in my hands!
Ji Yuanbai looked at his second brother's determined face and sniffed.
To be honest, over the years, he feels that his eldest brother has been quite good to him, but his second brother always feels that his eldest brother has not done enough for him. He is caught in the middle and does not dare offend anyone, and is truly helpless.
'Second brother, why don't we think about it now?' Ji Yuanbai whispered, persuading him.
'What's there to think about? There's no going back once you've started,' Ji Changming said, before he heard a knock on the door.
Seeing someone coming, Ji Guangsheng put away the face with clenched teeth and his expression became slightly gentler.
He cleared his throat and said, 'Enter!'
'Boss,' the person outside the door pushed open the door and entered, nodding slightly towards Ji Changming.
Seeing the appearance of the person, Ji Guangsheng's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly.
'Why have you come, is there any important news?'
This cook was originally from a five-star hotel in Sichuan Province and his cooking was quite good.
Since Ji Guangsheng had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and could no longer eat, Wu Shuhui had deliberately asked Uncle Guang to hire the chef from the restaurant where Ji used to eat, so that he could eat more.
The salary was the same as before, but the work was much easier.
The chef was not stupid and agreed immediately.
Before he had worked there for a few days, the second son of the Ji family found him.
He said he would pay him 5,000 yuan a month, and asked him to keep an eye on Mr Ji's every move, and to come and tell him if there was any important news in the Ji family.
You have to understand that 5,000 yuan was no small sum in those days.
5,000 yuan a month.
A house in the centre of Haicheng only cost 2,000 yuan per square metre.
5,000 yuan was equivalent to 2.5 square metres, so if things went on like this, he would be able to buy a house in the centre of Haicheng in just a few years.
The chef was so dazzled by the money that he agreed without hesitation.
Afraid that the chef would slack off, Ji Changming also promised him an additional 1,000 yuan for every piece of information.
The money added together was higher than his monthly salary.
Today, he heard that Ji Guangsheng had found his daughter and immediately came to report to Ji Changming.
'Sir, Mr. Ji's daughter has been found!' He looked at Ji Changming seriously, his tone a little excited.
'What?!' Ji Changming felt only a buzz in his head, and his heart kept sinking.
He was almost running out of oxygen!
He stumbled backwards and fell into his chair.
Ji Pianran had actually been found?
After all these years, she wasn't dead?
A spoiled brat, thrown into this heartless world, had actually survived until now?
How outrageous!
Back then, he had been weak-hearted and had only told someone to tell Ji Pianran to go away, without doing anything to her.
He even went so far as to persuade Ji Pianran to run away from home.
Now that she's back, if she tells Ji Guangsheng about this, he'll definitely come looking for him for an explanation.
Encouraging his own daughter to run away from home, he definitely hates him more than a little.
What's even more worrying than him is Ji Yuanbo, who lives across the street.
He's a person with no ambition who just wants to live a peaceful life, and he's particularly soft-hearted.
Who dares to say anything dares not refute.
He knows what happened back then. Now, if Pianran tells his eldest brother, will he test the waters with him?
It's over, it's over, it's over!
Ji Yuanbai felt like he had been struck by thunder.
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He put his hand on the table and looked at Ji Changming across the table in horror. His voice was panicked and a little shaky, 'Eldest brother, what should we do!'
Ji Changming swallowed, his lips moving, but no sound came out.
What should he do?
What else could he do now?
If Ji Guangsheng found out, he would never let him off the hook. He knew Ji Guangsheng all too well: he was heartless and had no sense of family!
He would definitely do whatever it took to get rid of him.
It seemed that this time, it was really time to settle the score.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark and sinister, giving off a chilling feeling.
'It seems that this time, it's either him or me!'
Ji Changming gritted his teeth.
Ji Yuanbai looked at his second brother and felt an inexplicable chill rising from the soles of his feet, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
'Second brother...'
He really didn't know what to do.
How had things developed to this point?
Whose side was he on?
To be honest, he wants to maintain a relationship with both sides, but now they are at loggerheads, and he just feels like he's got two heads and one body!
It's almost five o'clock now, and it's almost time for dinner. The little one is crying for food.
Wu Shuhui had thought that since they were finally reunited, they could let the chef cook something and have a family reunion dinner at the hospital, to make up for all the years of regret.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen volunteered to cook.
The main reason was still for Ji Guangsheng.
His health needs to be taken care of, and he needs to be properly nourished.
Ji Guangsheng was also in a good mood today, having already stayed up all afternoon.
It was Ji Pianran who felt a little bad when she heard that Gu Chen was going to cook.
She walked over to Gu Chen and whispered, 'I'll go with you.'
There were three of them, plus their parents, their younger brother and Uncle Guang, which meant there would be seven people eating.
She was afraid that Gu Chen would be too busy.
Gu Chen was not afraid of being too busy. He took Guang Shu's arm and smiled at him, 'Guang Shu, we worked well together at lunch, let's do it again tonight.'
His wife hadn't seen her parents in a few years, so let her mother stay a little longer.
As he had said before, he wanted her to be happy.
Guang Shu glared at Gu Chen, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. This kid, it's like he's attached to me.
But to be honest, he also likes the food that Gu Chen makes.
Uncle Guang pretended to be reluctant, 'Okay, then I have to order food.'
Gu Chen patted his chest, 'No problem!'
He is practically a living menu, there is nothing he can't cook.
After saying that, he patted Ji Pianran's shoulder, his gaze gentle.
'Spend more time with your parents and younger brother, don't worry about anything else.'
