Although Shi Mo was now one of the decision-makers of the company, Shi Yu would ultimately inherit Star Dream Era.
Shi Tian had already made plans for the succession of his two sons.
Half of the companies under the Shi group would be given to Shi Yu and the other half to Shi Mo.
However, because Shi Yu was still studying abroad, all the companies were temporarily being managed by Shi Mo.
Shi Yu looked at the screen and saw the profits that Shi Mo had garnered. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said casually, ‘It looks like the company is developing very well. I can continue to travel and study with more ease.”
‘Wu Ling frowned when she heard that. She just could not stand the way Shi Yu always worshipped Shi Mo. She hoped that Shi Yu would be able to manage the company well in the future.
Unfortunately, Shi Yu always acted as if his brother was good at everything, and he merely followed in his footsteps. This made Wu Ling very angry.
Throughout the entire meeting, Shi Yu did not give any constructive opinions.
He was just like a carefree young master.
After the meeting, Wu Ling was about to pull Shi Yu aside to have a good talk with him. However, when she turned her head, she saw that Shi Yu had slipped out with a few of the managers. She immediately felt her vision darken.
Since the meeting had ended, Shi Yu went to the restroom to relieve himself.
Just as he had closed the door of the cubicle, a few people came in from outside and the sound of a discussion could be heard.
“Why is the Second Master so different from the Eldest Master? One is a loafer while the other is a true master. I really don’t know how chaotic the company will become if the Second Master manages it in the future.”
“You must be joking. It will be President Shi that I’ll definitely listen to when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be chaotic. Don’t forget, who else can we credit for the company’s rapid progress?”
“You’re right. The Second Master is really lucky. In the future, he will just be a loafer and wait for his dividends. I want an older brother who is that good at making money too.”
Shi Yu lowered his head until his expression could not be seen clearly.
However, the veins on his neck bulged.
This was the consequence of growing up in Shi Mo’s shadow since he was young. No matter who saw him, their first impression was always that he was Shi Mo’s younger brother.
At this rate, when he took over the company in a year’s time, no one would believe in him.
In the past, Shi Yu had also tried to come up with some ideas for the company, but they had all been rejected by the company’s management. They had all said that they would wait for Shi Mo to make the decision instead. After that, Shi Yu had known that the company could not be managed by himself.
Unless… Shi Mo’s influence became weaker, or Shi Yu brought the same high benefits to the company.
Thinking of this, Shi Yu took his phone and sent a message to Xue Ni.
“There’s been no news yet, but I believe that Fang Mo’er won’t be able to sit still for long.”
Xue Ni had promised Shi Yu that when he took over the entertainment company, she would give him a big project. That project would allow the overseas entertainment company to cooperate with the domestic entertainment company.
The condition was that Shi Yu had to help Xue Ni take Shi Mo down.
Shi Yu knew that it would not be easy to start with Shi Mo, so he had planned to start with Fang Mo’er and sow discord between the two.
However, he had not expected Fang Mo‘er to be such a stable person. Even when she had seen the photos of the scene at the airport, she had not had any reaction.
This frustrated Shi Yu greatly.
By the time the footsteps outside had left, Shi Yu’s legs were feeling a little numb and he stood up unsteadily.
Without any expression on his face, he pushed open the cubicle door and walked out.
As he passed by an office, Shi Yu happened to hear a conversation coming from inside.
Shi Yu looked up and recognized that the person in the office was talking to someone. It was Fang Mo’er’s assistant, Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian was handing over the variety show contract information that Fang Mo’ had given, to Shen Yue. She was in the process of reporting to Shen Yue about Fang Mo’er’s progress on the film set over the past few days.
She also said that she would be rushing over there soon.
When Xiao Tian came out, she realized that there were a few people in the corridor talking about something.
As Xiao Tian passed by, she heard the words “President Shi’, “A match made in heaven” and “The second daughter of the Xue family”.
Xiao Tian deliberately slowed down and bent down to tie her shoelaces.
The small group of people was talking about how Shi Mo and Xue Ni were childhood sweethearts. They also said that they had seen the two of them getting very close recently and that Fang Mo’er would be kicked out very soon.
Xiao Tian’s face turned black when she heard that.
She turned to the few of them and said, “You’re talking nonsense! Mr. Shi and Sister Fang are still very close.”
This moming, Xiao Tian had even found Fang Mo’er on a video call with Shi Mo.
‘When the small group of people saw that it was Xiao Tian, they immediately sneered.
“Everyone knows that Mr. Shi and the second daughter of the Xue family are childhood sweethearts…”
