Chapter 1739: Old Buddies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Their grandson was the one who was going to be the boss, but he wanted to expand their company’s business just to let Qiao Nan have a better life! It seemed as though the role and feelings of a boss and shareholder had been swapped.
Even though this logic sounded ridiculous, Mother and Father Tian understood their grandson wholeheartedly. Their grandson would really do such a thing for Qiao Nan. Thus, Mother and Father Tian could finally be at ease.
It did not matter what their daughter-in-law thought. It would all depend on their grandson’s decision, and their grandson’s decision would always be influenced by Qiao Nan’s existence. As long as it was for Qiao Nan, they could almost be certain that their grandson would not be lying.
That was great. Now, all their problems had been solved. Even if Father and Mother Tian were to pass away at this very moment, they would do so without any regrets.
Their son had gotten married later than others. Their daughter-in-law had only married into their family when other family’s children were already graduating from elementary school. But they had still managed to see their grandson grow up healthily into an intelligent and outstanding young man. Knowing that the Tian family had a successor, there was nothing else that they worried about.
Unable to see their grandson date or what kind of girlfriend he would find for himself was their only regret. Thankfully, they believed that with his parents around and an aunt like Qiao Nan watching over him, the wife that their grandson found for himself would surely be one of good character.
With that knowledge, Mother and Father Tian both passed on peacefully.
After graduation, the triplets fulfilled each of their own dreams and engaged in the work that they had longed to do. Naturally, that put them in a good mood. Tian Haoran followed soon after and graduated from university less than two years after the triplets had graduated.
While Tian Haoran was studying, he had already been actively involved in scientific research. Quite a few of his research findings had been put into production after rounds of examination, approvals, and appraisals. All these had helped the Tian Corporation win many projects and had also increased the revenue of the Tian Corporation.
As such, Tian Haoran had already made a name for himself within the Tian Corporation while he was still a student. The senior management of the Tian Corporation all knew that Tian Haoran was the crown prince of the Tian Corporation. At a young age, he was already so capable and was even bringing in revenue for the company.
They could not be more assured by the fact that Tian Haoran would be the one taking over the company in the future. They were completely convinced that the Tian Corporation would only develop even further, faster, and more steadily under the leadership of this crown prince, Tian Haoran, instead of under Tian Dong.
In short, before Tian Haoran even became an official employee of the Tian Corporation, he had already laid down foundations for his reputation and prestige.
When Tian Haoran entered the Tian Corporation, there had been no drastic changes made to the organization. No one in the company dared to fool Tian Haoran or treat him like a young and foolish person who was easy to bully. On the contrary, their respect for Tian Haoran was no less than that for Tian Dong.
The employees of the Tian Corporation were extremely clear that the Tian father and son were more than able to lead them to make even more money.
Seeing Tian Haoran suddenly acting like a CEO, Gao Feng chuckled. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wearing a suit really makes you seem like a beast.” They had played together since they were children and had grown up together. Because of their close relationship, Gao Feng had never bothered to address Tian Haoran as his ‘elder brother’.
Of course, Tian Haoran did not take issue with Gao Feng not addressing him as an elder brother. He did not want such a foolish younger brother like Gao Feng anyway. “Aren’t you in university now? In a few years’ time, you’ll be taking the same path that I have taken. I wonder if you’ll be able to do as well as I have. There are lots of people who pride themselves on their seniority. If you lack capability, you’ll never be able to win these guys over.”
Tian Haoran was clear that the employees in the company were only respectful to him on the surface. In reality, there was bound to be one or two people who felt that he had just entered society, and was therefore foolish and easily deceived.
They wanted him to focus wholeheartedly on research and leave the decision-making to the senior management of the company. Did they really think he was a fool?
If he were to agree to that way of running the company, he might not even be the one making decisions in the Tian Corporation. The Tian family was the Tian Corporation’s largest shareholder and boss. All these suggestions kindly put forward by these ‘elders’ made it seem as though he was working for someone else in his own company.
Tian Haoran had been doing research for many years and did look a little inflexible. But Tian Haoran was the son of that sly old fox, Tian Dong. Putting aside teachings, by genetics alone, there was no way Tian Haoran would be a little bunny who would allow himself to be surrounded by a pack of wolves and not do anything.
Even if Tian Haoran was really a little bunny, he still had a set of teeth that could even bite through diamonds. Then, the wolves might not even get to eat rabbit meat. Quite the contrary, they might even get bitten by the rabbit, lose their limbs, and become disabled!
Now, whatever troubles and problems Tian Haoran was facing, Gao Feng would experience them too when he entered his father’s company. Because they were all friends, Tian Haoran had kindly given Gao Feng a heads-up so he would know what he was in for.
Otherwise, he might not even want to recognize him as his elder brother when that time came. How meaningless would it be for him to be bullied so badly that he would be like a tortoise that was unable to stick his head out in front of all those old foggies?
“Heheheh…” Zhu Yu chuckled. “Tonight’s the last time being so carefree. Don’t bother asking me out for any events in the future. Don’t look down on Gao Feng. Apart from being a fool in front of women, he’s quite smart when it comes to everything else.”
Because of this, he had often fallen into Gao Feng’s trap, allowing Gao Feng to take advantage of him many times when they were younger.
As such, Zhu Yu was not at all worried about his friend, Gao Feng. He felt that it would already be good if that bunch of old bones was not too badly bullied by Gao Feng. If so, all those years of rice that they had eaten would not go to waste.
“You? We’ve never expected you to come out with us.” Gao Feng made a toast. “Don’t you think it’s too early for you? You’re only in high school, but you’ve already been recruited into the special forces! Do you want to become the king of the soldiers?” Gao Feng pounded Zhu Yu’s body. “Wow, it’s all muscles. My fist hurts.” He felt as though he was hitting a rock, not meat.
Zhu Yu triumphantly showed off his muscles. “Old buddies?”
“Don’t be all brawns and no brain, and end up as cannon fodder, and even give your life up!” Tian Haoran rolled his eyes at Zhu Yu. In the face of raining bullets, Zhu Yu’s muscles would be all but useless. A single bullet would be enough to kill Zhu Yu. No matter how much muscles he had, they would never be able to shield him from bullets.
“Can’t you say something more pleasant?” Zhu Yu was upset. “If it wasn’t late, I wouldn’t even bother coming out with you guys. I might as well ask Sister Zhai Yu if there has been anything going on recently.”
