Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 223 - Convincing the Masses

Chapter 223: Convincing the Masses

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Jiang Jin looked at Mu Chen, and her voice softened slightly as she said, “Mu Chen, from now on, you’ll be the Chairman of the Mu Group. This matter will be the first thing you’ll deal with as the new Chairman of the Mu Group. Grandma knows you’re someone who can’t even tolerate the slightest mistake. This will be the last lesson Grandma teaches you. You must remember the most precious thing in the world is family. The people standing in this room now are all your blood relatives. Grandma will bear part of their mistakes so when you deal with them, can you remember that they’re only employees of the Mu Group but family as well? Mu Chen, can you do that?”

Mu Chen had kneeled down as soon as Jiang Jian said the word, ‘last lesson’. He called out as though he had something else to say, “Grandma…”

Before Mu Chen could speak, Second Granduncle Mu placed his hand on Mu Chen’s back and said, “Mu Chen, listen to your grandmother. Be filial and obedient!”

Second Granduncle Mu’s hand seemed to be forcing Mu Chen to lower his head.

In the end, Mu Chen said, “Grandma, I’ll remember your words.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief immediately; some of them sighed heavily, and some of them sighed softly.

All of them looked at Jiang Jin gratefully. They knew if it were not for Jiang Jin and Second Granduncle Mu, with Mu Chen’s personality, he would not let the traitors off so easily. Betrayal was a huge crime after all. However, Jiang Jin’s words alone, which reminded Mu Chen that they were not only employees but family as well, halved their punishment immediately.

Mu Chen had saved the Mu Group while Jiang Jin had saved the traitors of the Mu family.

Regardless, no one had any objections; they could only submit.

Indeed, the main branch of the family was truly different. Mu Chen’s boldness and decisiveness were unparalleled while Jiang Jin’s magnanimity moved everyone’s hearts.

Thud!

The sound of something heavy falling to the ground rang in the air.

Mu Qing lay on the ground with one hand pressed against his chest. An expression of pain twisted his face.

“Qing’er!” Jiang Jin cried out.

When Jiang Jin anxiously reached out to support Mu Qing, Mu Chen had already rushed over and reached into Mu Qing’s pocket to rummage through it. As expected, he found a bottle of pills. After stuffing a pill into Mu Qing’s mouth, he shouted, “Call the ambulance!”

Jiang Jin, who was sitting near Mu Qing, collapsed onto the couch.

With that, chaos descended again, sweeping away the calm that had just only settled on the Mu family.

…

When Mu Qing regained consciousness, he saw four familiar white walls, equipment, and furniture. He had returned to the hospital again. He cleared his throat and was about to speak when he heard a rustling noise. He looked in the direction of the noise and saw Mu Chen sitting on the couch across from the bed.

Mu Chen put the documents in his hands down and looked at Mu Qing silently.

Mu Qing forced a smile on his face and said, “Sorry to have troubled you…”

Mu Chen crossed his arms and bluntly said, “I’m sorry, but as long as I’m around, you won’t be able to return to the Mu family.”

Mu Qing’s smile grew even more unnatural.

Mu Chen continued to say, “Those traitors won’t have their names struck out of the family registry, but they’ll definitely be fired from the company. Nevertheless, they’ll still feel grateful since Grandma pleaded on their behalf. No matter if they’re fired or demoted, they won’t have any complaints. Thank you for deceiving them. With this lesson, they’ll be loyal to the Mu Group for the rest of their lives and will no longer dare to have any covetous thoughts…”

Mu Qing forced a smile and asked, “You… What do you mean by this?”

“There’s no meaning to it. I only say those words out loud to frustrate you,” Mu Chen replied indifferently, but every word was piercing.
