“Bring your son with you. It’s not safe for a child to be home alone.”

The next day, Madam Xie took Rong Heng to the Xie business.

Right now, the chairman was still Grandfather Xie, but he had already taken a step away from affairs and very rarely came to the company. He would only show up when there was a major policy decision that required discussion by the Board of Directors. But that didn’t mean that he didn’t have a say in the Xie business or the Xie family. In fact, he still firmly held the authority in his hands. There were rumors that he was dissatisfied with his son and wanted to wait until his grandson established himself before handing over the power.

Xie Yanjun was the president, and Madam Xie, after reaching some unknown agreement with him some years before, was a senior manager.

Xie Yanjun did not object when he saw his wife wanted to bring their son, whose vocal cords had not yet recovered, to the company.

That illegitimate son of his had already been tormented and incapacitated by his wife and his father. He had no objections; he only blamed himself for whetting the appetites of his lover and his youngest son. It was already good enough to be left with a thread of life, let alone think about other things.

When all was said and done, he only had A’Heng, this one son, now. Parents, regardless of who, hoped for their children to be well.

When some of the core staff of the Xie company found out that the crown prince was coming, they were both surprised and delighted.

When word came out that this crown prince might lose his life, don’t even mention the executives–even the ordinary employees were sweating. If something were to happen, it was sure to have a great impact on the company. Perhaps the stock market would become turbulent, and the company’s economic strength would be weakened for many years.

In actuality, Madam Xie also knew that Rong Heng wasn’t in the right condition to work. She simply said she would bring him to familiarize himself with the environment, as she feared that constantly staying at home would give rise to illness.

Madam Xie also told Rong Heng in private, “You are still young. Your father will not be retiring anytime soon; it will take at least ten years before the position is handed over to you. This is what I’m thinking: when you get better and your voice recovers, you can continue to study abroad. There’s no harm in studying more.”

Rong Heng just gave her a glance and nodded.

Madam Xie sighed in relief. She raised a hand and patted him on the shoulder. “Your father doesn’t dare to mess around anymore; Dad is keeping an eye on him. I wish for you to relax for two more years. Once you take the position, you’ll have to work hard.”

Although Grandfather Xie didn’t understand Madam Xie’s plan, he had still agreed.

He thought that his daughter-in-law wanted to send his grandson abroad to temporarily get away from all this commotion. Although he was a bit confused, he didn’t want to refuse this heart full of love for her son.

Xie Yanjun didn’t understand. “Hasn’t A’Heng studied enough? I was already working in the company when I was his age. He still has to gain more experience.”

Madam Xie just gave him a glance. Her eyes quickly turned red. “It’s because you wanted to call him back to work that he had that incident happen to him. I’d rather he didn’t inherit the company. In any case, I don’t agree. I want him to live comfortably for a few more years!”

Xie Yanjun knew that he had wronged his wife and his son in regards to his son’s incident. Seeing his wife giving him a hard time, he had no choice but to agree. But in private, he complained to his father, “I’m just speechless. Didn’t I do it for A’Heng’s sake? Very good–she’s treating the company like some lion’s den1, and she wants to let A’Heng recover before sending him abroad to study more. What is this, this is just holding back the child!”
