Chapter 103
"Well, Grandpa, I'll be right over." Xia Shutong's voice was gentle, but the playful smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Even she herself couldn't tell whether this was a performance or whether it was her instinct.
Xia Shutong quickly walked outside the conference room.
She suppressed the smile on her face slightly and walked in as calmly as possible.
This conference room was not large, with only a small table inside. Xia Cha sat at the main seat. Xia Shutong glanced around and naturally sat opposite him.
"Grandpa, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Xia Shutong asked knowingly.
"Tongtong, you don't have to play such nonsense in front of grandpa." Xia Cha shook his head, but there was no disappointment on his face, "Tongtong is really promising. There are so many changes in the company, and I am the last one to know of."
Xia Shutong nodded: "Grandpa is old, of course I don't want to disturb you."
By now, to her, Xia Cha had nothing to fear.
Although Xia Cha is the chairman, he has indeed aged over the years and has given too much power to Xia Shutong step by step. At this point, even if he wanted to take back the power in Xia Shutong's hands and reorganize the company, it would already be a waste of money.
Xia Cha is old and doesn't have much time, but Xia Shutong is still young and has plenty of time and experience.
Xia Shutong understood Xia Cha's psychology very accurately.
He is a cold-blooded businessman who only cares about profit. After Xia Shutong has reached this point, for him, the only way to benefit the company is to completely give up his management rights in the company and hand everything over to Xia Shutong.
Xia Cha was silent for a long time, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked away at his old attitude: "Tongtong, are you not afraid that grandpa will be unhappy by doing this?"
"How could it be?" Xia Shutong tilted his head and asked, "What I do is for the good of the company. How can you be unhappy, grandpa?"
Xia Shutong is telling the truth. In recent years, print media has gradually declined, but under her leadership, Tianjun not only did not disappear with the tide of the times, but instead went against the trend in several reforms, and the company's scale expanded. Several times.
Wutong Pictures was almost on the verge of death at the hands of Xia Hongye, but was saved by Xia Shutong.
Xia Shutong has amazing talent in this area. At least judging from the situation of these two companies, no one can do it better than her.
"Hahahaha..." Xia Cha smiled instead of being angry, and stopped after a while, "Yes, Tongtong, you are right, I am old. Among the younger generation, you are the only one I can trust. But grandpa doesn't understand. Tongtong, the company will be in your hands sooner or later, why do you do this behind Grandpa's back?"
Xia Shutong lowered his head, thought for a while, then raised his head and looked directly into Xia Cha's eyes, and said ambiguously: "The power is in your own hands, you should feel more at ease after all, grandpa, don't you think so?"
As for the specific reason... Xia Cha will know it soon.
Xia Cha was startled and said with a smile: "Tongtong said, OK, OK, he is worthy of being the child I taught. But Tongtong, I still have a question..."
When he said this, Xia Cha stood up and walked slowly to Xia Shutong.
Looking down at her condescendingly.
"Tongtong, have you already remembered what happened in the past?"
Xia Shutong raised his head and looked up at him. He was obviously in a weak position, and his fingers curled up unconsciously, but the smile on his face remained the same.
She said honestly: "No."
"Or... I still only remembered a little bit."
Xia Cha nodded, then reached out and patted her shoulder.
"That's it for the time being. I'm old and now I'm in a state of peace. Tongtong, please accompany me for one last walk around the company."
Xia Shutong nodded, stood up and said respectfully: "Grandpa, can I help you?"
Xia Cha had no objection.
The last two times I walked with Xia Cha, Xia Shutong followed him half a step behind, but this time, she supported him and walked side by side.
Along the way, the two of them laughed and talked about common things like normal grandfathers and grandchildren, and the atmosphere was harmonious and weird.
After Xia Shutong sent Xia Cha to the downstairs of the company, after thinking about it, she followed him into the car and went directly back to his old house with him.
After arriving home, Xia Cha sighed resentfully as he got out of the car.
It means I have something to say again.
Xia Shutong asked: "Grandpa?"
"Tongtong, old man Zhang Sheng's charity dinner is tomorrow night, right?"
Xia Shutong thought for a while before remembering. She was so busy during this period that she forgot about the charity dinner.
So what does this mean, old man? He gave up managing the company, but still wanted to go on a blind date with her?
But now that it's time, Xia Shutong believes that the old man has no other intentions. He just hopes that she can choose a partner that suits his heart from the perspective of a parent.
Xia Shutong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yeah."
"Tongtong, grandpa knows that you don't like to hear this, and I think grandpa is too verbose, but I am also sincerely good to you." Xia Cha said lightly, "That girl Hongye, it doesn't matter to grandpa whether she gets married or not, she is alone anyway. Are you having a hard time? But I hope someone can stay with you and take care of you."
Now when Xia Shutong spoke to Xia Cha, he was not so roundabout and said bluntly: "Grandpa... So at tomorrow's dinner, who is the young talent you value? Just tell me."
