Old Master Ruan laughed coldly. “Don’t you know why you only have 5%? Look at what you have done to the cosmetic branch of the business after it was handed to you.”
The Ruan Cosmetics Company was one of the companies under the Ruan Corporation. When Old Master Ruan handed the company over to Ruan Zhihao, the revenue of the Ruan Cosmetics Company was considered to be relatively high among the companies under its name. However, it was now incurring serious losses.
Old Master Ruan ignored Ruan Zhihao’s howls and snatched all the documents away. Then, he handed them to the butler beside him. “I won’t pass them on one by one. Read them out.”
The butler nodded and took it. “Old Master Ruan originally held 60% of the shares of the Ruan Corporation. Now that the shares have been redistributed, Eldest Miss will take 25%, Master Zhiying and Master Zhihao will take 10%, Miss Gu Yang, Miss Gu Jin, Young Master Ruan Bin, and Miss Ruan Meng will each take 5%.”
“Grandpa!” Ruan Chu stood beside Old Master Ruan and looked at him in surprise. She had mixed feelings.
She knew that her grandfather doted on her, but she held the most shares. It was equivalent to handing over the future of the Ruan Corporation to her.
However, she was not good at financial management. She studied law and was in the entertainment industry.
Old Master Ruan looked at her with a deep gaze. “I won’t hinder your dreams. I just want to give you a way out. Even if I’m gone, the Ruan family will always be your strong backing.”
In the past year, in order to support his granddaughter, he had learned to chase after celebrities and understand the entertainment industry and fandoms. The more he understood, the more he knew how terrifying the malice in this industry could be.
He didn’t want Ruan Chu to experience cyberbullying again after he was gone and feel alone again.
It was impossible for Ruan Zhihao to stand up for Chuchu. Ruan Zhiying, her uncle, was overseas all year round. Ruan Xueling, her aunt, would occasionally take care of her, but she also had her own life. It was impossible for her to take care of Ruan Chu for him forever.
Therefore, Chuchu could only rely on herself.
Ruan Chu was slightly stunned. She felt her heart swell. She opened her mouth but could not say anything.
“Father, aren’t you being too biased? I know you dote on Ruan Chu. You just need to prepare more dowry for her. Do you need to hand the corporation over to her?
“She is just an actress. Would she know how to manage? Moreover, she is going to get married in the future. Is the Ruan Corporation changing its surname with her?
“If you give me her shares, how can I, as her biological father, let her be bullied?”
Ruan Zhihao was about to die of anger. He had always been worried that the old man would become muddle-headed and give Ruan Chu all his assets.
He turned to look at his eldest brother, Ruan Zhiying, trying to find an ally. “Ruan Chu is my daughter. Even if I agree, my eldest brother won’t, right?”
Ruan Zhiying’s lips twitched. “No.”
Facing his father’s sharp gaze, Ruan Zhiying hurriedly said, “It’s all Dad’s things. Dad can give it to whoever he wants.
“Besides, Chuchu had been by Dad’s side all these years. As a son, I couldn’t accompany Dad often and let him enjoy the joy of family. I really feel guilty.
“How about this, Dad? Give Chuchu another 5% of the shares from me. Take it as me, thanking her for being filial in front of you on our behalf.”
Ruan Zhiying suggested to Old Master Ruan.
Ruan Chu quickly refused. “No need, Uncle. Grandpa is still my grandfather. It’s my duty.”
Ruan Zhihao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at his brother as if he had been betrayed.
Seriously?
Was he really going to let that brat Ruan Chu off easy?
Big Brother thought that 25% was not enough and wanted to add more for Ruan Chu.
Old Master Ruan snorted. At least his eldest son knew his place.
If Chuchu doesn’t want it, you can keep it for yourself. After all, your sister’s dowry back then was also 10%.” Old Master Ruan said as he looked meaningfully at Clarice, who was beside Ruan Zhiying.
Ruan Zhiying was speechless. Did his father realize he had married into his wife’s family?
Ruan Zhihao was stunned. Then again, he might as well marry himself into a rich family!
