Chapter 61: Uncle Don't!

It was Mu Ziying, who was following Baili Xia at the end, whose admiration for Baili Xia had grown even stronger.

“Uncle actually invited you to Sihai Residence, gosh!

And you actually refused!”

She really couldn’t believe that there is actually a girl in this world who would refuse Uncle.

Sihai Residence!

She had always dreamt of living there.

If she were to move in, loads of girls would be green with envy.

But that wicked Xiaxia, she actually refused!

Simply…astonishing.

Baili Xia just smiled casually and didn’t say much.

Today’s breakfast, to say the least, was actually a family meeting.

So that’s what big families are like, discussing serious matters at the dining table, without any fear that people might not digest it well.

Baili Xia hasn’t completely integrated into this family yet.

So, while they talk about big things, she just concentrates on her food.

The crux was about the discussions on Mu Xiaojiu’s role in the Mu Group.

Mu Xiaojiu has his own business outside, but also holds the position of CEO in the Mu Group.

Everyone is concerned that he might not be able to devote much energy to the affairs of the Mu Group.

So, should someone replace him as the CEO of the Mu Group?

This was a shared thought between Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo.

Baili Xia found this family really strange, they even dare to discuss such things openly.

Even stranger was that, though it was such a contentious issue, they were discussing it so calmly.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say much, and Mu Lingchuan as a junior, didn’t like to speak up either.

The ones doing most of the talking were the elder uncles and the old man.

Others, especially women, had even less of a right to say anything.

“You’re eating so little, no wonder you’re so thin.” Suddenly, someone put two pieces of pastry on her plate, urging her, “Eat up.”

Baili Xia held her chopsticks tightly and snuck a glance at the man beside her.

Even when eating, he insists she sits next to him.

If people didn’t know any better, they would think she was his little sidekick.

However…

“Uncle, I’m really full,” she protested.

She wanted to put down her chopsticks, but under his quiet gaze, she re-gripped them again.

“I’ll eat…” Lowering her head, she continued eating in small bites, not daring to challenge him.

“Jiu’s issue can be discussed later.

At least for now, there are no issues Mu Group couldn’t handle,” the old man finally said, clearly favouring his youngest son.

“Jiu is capable enough to handle both his own business and the affairs of Mu Group.

His leadership has doubled profits, at least, and that’s an irrefutable fact.”

Everyone was silent, for even if Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo didn’t admit it, they had no choice but to recognize it.

In recent years, under Mu Xiaojiu, Mu Group’s influence had indeed multiplied significantly.

Once the top corporation in Jin City, now it was far ahead of all other companies.

“However, a group of top businessmen have recently arrived in the city.

They seem determined to make their mark in Jin City.

If they rise to power, Mu Group will naturally be their primary target,” Mu Dongyu said, after casting a look at the old man.

“Dad, is it time we put more energy into Mu Group?

If Jiu continues to manage Mu Group, should he also put on hold his own personal business?”

All eyes turned to Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Haoguo chimed in, “Everyone’s energy is limited, Jiu.

Why not wrap up those miscellaneous affairs and focus on Mu Group’s matters.”
