sn't need to cook at home this evening. Everyone just waits until it's almost time and then drives out together! But a group of uninvited guests just messed up the plans of the three Nguyen siblings!"...His heart was likely content. He felt leisurely and wanted to survey his new territory, so he stood up, strolled with a relaxed pace, and slowly sauntered over. He walked the path, accepting everyone's respectful attention along the way. The annoyance caused by Rong Ling's two secretaries had long since vanished.
As he neared a bend in the path, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, his father's. A flicker of hope crossed his face and he quickened his pace, taking a slight detour toward the source of the sound.
Since the band disbanded, his father vanished. He figured his father was probably chatting with some elders and didn't bother following him. Instead, he went straight to the top floor presidential suite to declare his claim.
But Rong Fei's words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing his heart and leaving him feeling chilled.
“Tuo Tuo, grandpa has done so much, all for you! You are grandpa's biggest hope! Look carefully, what you're standing on now, all of this, will be yours to inherit in the future. Grandpa believes that when you grow up, you will be more excellent and capable than your uncle. Tuo Tuo, do you have this confidence!”
It seemed to fall silent for a moment, and then a childish voice, very young and still innocent, piped up.
"Grandpa, I know!" Clear as day, with just a hint of arrogant coldness.
"Be good, huh-huh…" Rong Fei laughed gleefully. "Grandpa knows you won't lose to your uncle. Grandpa is waiting for you to take over from your father and watch Yaodong soar again under your command!"
"Grandpa, I will try my best!"
A childish voice, carrying a hint of reverence, yet firmly stated.
"Well, you must work hard. This time, Grandpa will nurture you well and won't let you become like your father..."
"He seemed to feel that the words were inappropriate, so Rong Fei Wu stopped talking and changed the subject. "Your father has just taken over the company. In the future, you should stay by his side and learn from him how he manages it. You'll learn a lot from this experience. These things will also be what you encounter in the future. If you meet something you don't understand or have any doubts, come to grandpa, and grandpa will answer for you!"
"Thank you, grandpa!"
Even their expressions of thanks carried such a formal and deferential air that it felt somewhat stiff and distant.
However, Old Master Rong seemed to think nothing of it. He merely extended his slightly aged hand and gently placed it on the shoulder of Rong Hengduo, that is, Rong Qikeng's eight-year-old son, before squeezing it firmly.
"Duoduo, take a good look down there. Look closely, you remember this, from now on, you'll be in that position, and the others...they'll be down there on the ground. When you stand in that position, you can enjoy many things, and you can tower over those people. But, equally important, your contributions cannot be small, otherwise, you won't be able to control so many people. Your uncle has done a very good job at this."
The boy looked up at him again, but his silence was heavy. After a long pause, he whispered softly: "Uncle is very amazing!"
It seems like there's some feeling behind that!
Rong Feiwu fell silent upon hearing this. He knew he hadn't acted properly. Despite being aware of Rong Ling's excellence, he had still tried every means to push him out for the sake of his grandson. However, Rong Qikeng was his legitimate son, and Rong Hentuo was his legitimate grandson. As for Rong Ling, he was closer to Rong San, so Feiwu naturally thought more about it.
He could see that his grandson wasn't bad. If he was cultivated well, his future achievements might not be inferior to Rong Ling's. But if Rong Ling was still sitting in that position, and Rong Ling's son Youyou stood there, then his grandson Duo Duo would have no chance at all. After all, the news he received was that Youyou was already very favored by Rong San. Rong San's granddaughter Mu Mu was also the most attached to Youyou. If he didn't take advantage of the fact that he was still agile and had some influence, then in time, Youyou would become the second Rong Ling under Rong San's support!
He cannot allow this to happen!
This time, he did so much, it wasn't really for his eldest son, but entirely for his grandson!
"Actually, there's no need to kick Uncle out!"
Although young, the boy stood straight and tall. He spoke in a soft voice, his small hand secretly forming a fist.
From his words, one could probably sense that the young boy didn't utterly despise his uncle. On the contrary, perhaps he even harbored some admiration and infatuation!
“You don’t understand,” Rong Fei Wu's eyes flashed with pain and pride, a contradictory expression. “Your uncle is too outstanding. If he stayed in the company, your father wouldn’t be able to handle him. Something would definitely happen in the future. Only by completely driving your uncle out could we rest assured. Duoduo, you need to know that sometimes when doing things, there can be no room for leeway, especially when that person is someone you can’t control!”
Rong Hengduo fell silent again for a long while, as if deep in thought or perhaps digesting something. Before he could respond, the sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor echoed through the room.
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
Those two distinct voices were clearly Mu Xin Feng and her youngest son, Rong Heng Da.
Cong Qiang won the position, and Mu Xinfeng immediately came with her two sons. The newly appointed chairwoman naturally put on a good show in front of everyone, along with the two pride and joys of the chairman! Before this, she had separated from Rong Feiwu and her eldest son, Rong Hentuo, because she had taken her youngest son to the restroom, but just returned moments ago.
"Dad, let's go find Kiki together!"
"No, I'm tired. I'll go back first. If there's something important, let's talk when I get home tonight!"
“Alright, Dad. Take care.”
When Rong Qikeng heard this, he moved silently, quickly walking away. Having overheard the conversation, he needed to avoid it immediately and sit normally in the CEO's office waiting for his family. But although he thought so, the expression on his face uncontrollably turned gloomy. Occasionally, employees who met him saw him like this, and they didn't dare to breathe out loud, lowering their heads and dodging to the side, making way for him.
In Rongqi's eyes, he could see nothing. He was too angry, so angry that he wanted to go mad and destroy something.
He believed his father loved him, which was why he put in so much effort to help him. He also believed his father approved of his achievements, allowing him to take the position of head of the family. He considered himself sufficiently excellent; Rong Ling's praise stemmed solely from his position as head of the family. If he could achieve that position, he would undoubtedly receive just as much praise, if not more, than Rong Ling!
But what was his own father just saying He said he couldn't protect Rong Ling, so he had to drive Rong Ling out. He was denying his value, he believed he wasn't good enough for Rong Ling!
And he also said, he did so much, was for Duoduo—his eldest son, completely for him. And said to let Duoduo follow himself to study well, because he will also experience those in the future. What does this mean! Is he planning to force Duoduo to take his place after he grows up, and let Duoduo take the stage
It's too heartbreaking, too infuriating!
In my father's eyes, am I really so worthless! He sat smugly in this position, only to be a replacement for someone else who governs the Jiangshan Cabinet elders, just a pawn!
To think that his father would look at him like this, so dismissively!
No wonder he lost to Rong Ling when they fought for this position back then. At that time, he had connections and a background, everyone knew he was the rightful heir and supported him, but in the end, he was defeated by Rong Ling. It turned out that his father hadn't gone all out back then, it wasn't because Rong Sanbo was too domineering. Perhaps his father thought he was inferior to Rong Ling, so he just politely opposed him, allowing Rong Ling to become the head of the family. Now, he feels his grandson is more capable, so he has replaced Rong Ling and paved the way for his grandson!
What's to admire about him, trust him, help him!
These are all bullsh*t, bull**!
To be seen as inferior to an eight-year-old child in his father's eyes, what a ridiculous thing!
Rubbish!
Nonsense!
He is Yung Chi-Kang, the rightful heir to the Rong family. Why does his father think he is inferior to others!
No, he won't lose to anyone!
Now that he's in this position, he can let loose and do things his way. He will work hard, do well, and show his father, and those who looked down on him, what he's capable of. He will tell them, Rong Qingen is not inferior to Rong Ling at all. He will make his father realize that underestimating him was a grave mistake!
Absolutely, he will never let anyone underestimate him!
At this moment, Rong Qikeng's heart was filled with a demon, a demon that would stop at nothing to make others look up to him!
Mu Xin Feng arrived with her two sons very quickly. When she knocked on the door, she was overjoyed. After all, this day had finally come, and she had returned to her position as mistress of the household. How could she not be ecstatic!
“Keng, we won, haha, we won!”
Rong Qi's heart was cold. Because Rong Fei Wu had betrayed him by saying those things, he began to doubt everyone, including his relatives, and even his wife who was not as good as his own family.
But he hasn't wasted all these years. Even though he was angry, he still raised his lips and smiled at Mu Xinfeng.
Mu Xin Feng was happily giddy, not noticing her husband's odd behavior. She beamed with delight, examining the new CEO office, a symbol of honor and status. Rong Heng Da was still young, childish at heart, following Mu Xin Feng around like a shadow, listening to his mother's appreciative comments about the office.
Over there, the precocious Rong Hengduo sat down, quietly and without arrogance, taking in everything in the office. He sat very straight, his small frame erect, his hands naturally crossed, resting on his knees. His handsome little face was clean-cut, with a noble and cold air about him.
This kind of demeanor, radiating from Rong Hengduo, instantly tells you that he is well-raised and destined for great things. He's the type of person people are naturally drawn to. Rong Qikeng also favors his eldest son deeply. In the past, he was particularly proud of him, projecting his own unfulfilled aspirations onto his eldest. In raising his firstborn, he spared no effort, constantly hinting that he should get closer to Xiaomumumu to win over Rong Sanbo's favor.
Now things have changed. When Kong looked at his son, he no longer had that pure love of a father who wanted his child to succeed. Instead, there was a hint of criticality in his eyes when he looked at Rong Henduo. He observed his son quietly, trying to find what special quality made his father so highly regard him and directly told him that this Asia East would be his someday!
The more he looked, the more his heart became filled with criticism.
Although he was only eight years old, he didn't have the slightest bit of a child's vivacity and energy. He sat there expressionlessly, like an old man, not cute at all. Children should be like his younger son, innocent and naive, that's what it means to be a child! Like his elder son, so deep at such a young age, what will he become in the future!
Just then, Rong Hengduo felt his father's furtive gaze and immediately turned his head to look at him. His eyes, though still a little innocent, held no fear whatsoever. He was basically looking directly at Rong Hengduo, as if he were an equal. There was no child's fear of an adult, nor the filial piety and respect that a son should have for his father!
Rongqi's heart suddenly felt like it was covered in goosebumps!
Over the past few months, he's been so preoccupied with scheming against Rong Ling that he's been negligent towards his child. When did this child's gaze become like this! Or perhaps, this child whom he considered precocious and intelligent, someone who filled him with pride, already had this kind of look in the past, but it was simply ignored by his own blindness!
At that moment, Rong Qikeng felt a sense of crisis. It wasn't strong, but it was definitely profound!
As the father said, this child will replace him in the future!
Then, when!
His life had already been defeated by the hands of humiliation, but to be defeated by his own son would be an utterly shameful disgrace!
Rong Qi's eyes narrowed uncontrollably!
"Dad!" A cold voice rang out, it was Rong Hendu in doubt.
Such a shout brought Rong Qikeng back to his senses, and he immediately collected himself. The shout also pulled Mu Xinfeng, who was immersed in excitement, back to reality. She stopped admiring and looked at her husband and her son, whom she had always been proud of. The two of them didn't say anything, nor did she think much of it. She just smiled to herself.
"Qi Ke, our family is finally up and running!"
Mu Xinfeng excitedly said some similar things again, then changed the subject to his son. "I think, in the future, our Tudou's education, we have to change it!"
"Change what!" Rong Qikang's heart skipped a beat. He asked expressionlessly.
"Naturally, you would have hired some excellent private tutors for him. Look, Rong Ling sent his son to Old Master Yan's place, and he also takes his son out often, so he must have opened quite a few small classes. Our DuoDuo will be taking your place in the future, so we need to put our heart into his education. Before, you didn't become the head of the family, and your child was at best that level. Now that you are the head of the family, naturally all kinds of advantages and resources should gravitate towards our DuoDuo!"
Under normal circumstances, Rong Qikeng would have absolutely agreed and thought his wife was insightful. However, now, these words just grated on his nerves! Mu Xin Feng's mention of the successor seemed to be urging her son to take over his position! This made him extremely displeased.
"The child is still young, what's the rush!"
He deflected it with a feigned disinterest.
Mu Xinfeng was also born into wealth and privilege. Over the years, Rong Qikeng hadn't truly experienced any glory, so he couldn't really flaunt his machismo in front of her. Therefore, Mu Xinfeng wasn't afraid of Rong Qikeng at all. Hearing this, she naturally retorted.
“Where did you say he was small Doudou is eight years old! Kangxi became emperor at the age of eight, where is it small! I tell you, it’s a bit late. Look at that kid from Rongling's family, only four years old, and they already have him being invited here and there. I tell you, our Doudou isn't an ordinary child, his education needs to start early!”
Rong Qi snorted in displeasure, narrowing his eyes as he rebuked, "What are you comparing to Rong Ling's son Even if Rong Ling is capable and arranges the best for his son, what good is it now Now, Rong Ling is nothing. His son may be educated into a genius, a prodigy in both literature and martial arts, so what In the end, won't that father and son still be trampled underfoot!"
“That’s not how it is!” Mu Xin Feng was a little anxious, feeling that her husband was acting strange today. “Duo Duo receiving some education is a good thing, isn't it The better he performs, the more the elders at home will value him. Isn't this also a way to bring honor to you as his father!”
Could he possibly ask his son to save face for him!
Yongqi was about to roar!
He has his own abilities, where does he need to rely on his son!
In her Mu Xin Feng's eyes, did she also think he Rong Qi Keng was useless!
Thinking this, Rong Qiang felt annoyed.
"Let's talk about this later. I'm busy right now and don't have time for this!"
Musin Feng finally felt that something was wrong with her husband. She asked with concern, "Qikeng, are you alright"
Rong Qikeng's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he realized that the source of his current discomfort was his wife and son. He — he shouldn't have such obvious negative emotions! This was very bad because how could anyone trust him as the head of the family if he couldn't even manage his own home! The house had to be in order, at least its appearance should project a harmonious and peaceful family.
He thought for a moment, then feigned tiredness and rubbed his face wearily, letting out a low sigh. "Being the new head of the family comes with a lot of responsibilities. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed!"
Mu Xin Feng's concern deepened. "Then don't overwork yourself, take a break first. And don't take things too seriously, delegate some things to your subordinates, and if you encounter anything you can't figure out, just ask Dad. Don't force yourself!"
This caught the attention of Rong Qikeng, but his interest waned once again!
What does it mean to "not force yourself" Rong Qikeng's anger, which he had just managed to suppress a little, flared up again. It looked like he was forcing himself She was so sure he was "forcing" himself!
"Go back now!" His voice turned icy cold all of a sudden. He no longer wanted to pretend, and directly ordered him to leave.
Mu Xinfeng felt a little embarrassed, but she kindly thought that there were many things to do today, and it would be better for her not to stay here and cause trouble for him. There will be plenty of time in the future, and she could plan for it later.
"Then I'll take Dada back first. Dodo can stay here and help you out!"
Deep down, she wished her eldest son could stay with his father more often and learn a lot from him. At eight years old, he wasn't exactly young in their large family. It was time for him to start learning!
But Rong Qiang was directly against this, so he immediately scowled and scolded, "Duo Duo is so young, what help can he possibly give He'll only cause me trouble! Take him away too!"
Rong Hengduo heard this, his lips twitched slightly, and a faint hurt flashed in his eyes! Even if he looked mature and calm and intelligent, he was only an eight-year-old child, who most yearned for his parents' approval. But Rong Qikeng's words made him feel disgusted!
Mu Xinfeng was stunned for a moment, looking at her husband, and then frowned.
"What's wrong with you today Who upset you DuoDuo is such a good boy, how could he possibly cause you trouble!"
Besides, Doudou is his son! How could a father say his own son is troublesome! His son really is a handful, but as his father, he has to take responsibility for teaching him, right Once he's taught properly, then he won't be so troublesome anymore!
Fung Kai-kin stared in disbelief, feeling that his wife was rather rebellious!
Mu Xin Feng saw that her husband was glaring at her, and she immediately became indignant. She retracted her smile and glared back.
At this time, Rong Hengtuo stood up and spoke. "Mom, let's go. Dad has something to be busy with!"
Saying that, he came to Mu Xinfeng's side and took her hand proactively.
The clever boy instinctively did what he should do at this time!
When her son grabbed her hand, Mu Xinfeng's heart warmed, and the frown on her face softened. However, she still had some opinions about her husband.
“Come on, come on, let’s all go, leaving your father alone here.” Mu Xin Feng pulled one of his sons by the hand with a huff, dragging him towards the door while muttering, “Go back and tell your grandfather that your father is bullying us. It’s really something! He just became the head of the family and started acting like he’s better than us. When you get back, you must tell him and let your grandfather give him a good lesson...”
Fung's face darkened immediately!
He felt that his wife had gone too far!
He's already the head of the household, so she should at least show him some respect, basic deference, right How can she make a fuss over such a small matter and go to her father to complain, even wanting him to punish him! Does she even recognize him as the head of the family in her eyes! Or is it that there's only Rong Hengduo in her eyes!
Thinking of this, Rong Qikeng felt indignant and couldn't help but raise his hand and slam it heavily on the table!
How could this be!

The news that Rong Ling was removed from his position as chairman of Ya Dong Group and directly expelled from the company, was like a stone dropped into a pond, causing ripples and quickly spreading, triggering various reactions.
First, Rong Sanbo received a phone call from Rong Qi.
"Third Brother, something about this doesn't feel right to me!"
Rong Qi was involved in Rong Ling's dismissal. With his decades of experience navigating the business world, his intuition told him that Rong Ling's withdrawal was too abrupt, which seemed off. Although, part of the reason was probably because Rong Ling realized that if he married that woman, he would definitely have to give up his current position. He made such a clean break because of that woman. But later, he pondered, Rong Ling's last words seemed to carry deep meaning!
“As Rong Ling left, he said one last thing—from now on, if anyone comes to find me again, they'd better not have a face! Third brother, help me figure this out, isn't what I said wrong! You tell me, wouldn't Rong Ling have some kind of plan, right!”
"Not really!" Rong Sanbo immediately denied. He knew Rong Ling was determined to leave, so his departure was so decisive and normal.
Rong Qi immediately questioned. "Third Brother, your answer is too quick! This isn't your style!"
A person of Rong Sanbo's stature, when thinking about problems, surely wouldn't be so hasty!
Rong Sanbo immediately knew things were bad, his cover was about to be blown. Rong Qi had always been a cunning man, having done many underhanded things in the business world back then. He was incredibly quick-witted. So, he immediately explained himself.
"When I previously advised Rong Ling, I saw that he seemed willing to give up his position as the head of the family for that woman. Therefore, I didn't find anything strange about him leaving so decisively!"
"Really!" Rong Qi questioned.
San Bo thought glumly in his heart, it wasn't really true, but it had to be. Where could he tell Rong Qi that for the sake of Xiao Youyou as his successor, he had already sold Rong Ling Would Rong Qi concede, or was it because he had conceded first If Rong Qi knew about the deal between him and Rong Ling, Rong Qi would shoot him.
"Don't think too much about it, that was probably just a moment of anger!"
Then Rong Qi fell silent. After a long while, Rong Qi shook his head.
"I don't think so. I always feel that his last words were very meaningful!"
Rong Qi and Rong San Bo were in two different systems, one doing business and the other politics. Therefore, Rong San Bo who was involved in politics couldn't sense Rong Ling's abnormalities as sensitively as Rong Qi could. As Rong Qi and Rong Ling belonged to the same system, he could faintly feel something unusual from Rong Ling's recent actions!
Rong Sanbo was a wise man, and Rong Qi's repeated questioning finally awakened him. He furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, then asked Rong Qi.
"Where do you feel something is wrong!"
“I always feel like something is going to happen, like...like...like something's wrong with Rong Lingdao!” As soon as these words were spoken, Rong Qi felt as if the mystery in his heart had suddenly become clearer. He rebuked heavily, "Rong Ling is a cunning and experienced person. Over so many years, he has hardly ever made mistakes and has always worked for the company’s profit. But look at his recent actions, full of errors and loopholes, completely unlike his usual style. Could it be that this kid is considering stepping down"
Ron Burton felt awkward at once, nodding neither yes nor no. He could only stay silent.
Then Tou Rongqi continued, "Rong Ling isn't someone easy to get along with. That kid is ruthless and vindictive! If someone slapped him, how could he possibly not retaliate! Right, right, right —"
Rong Qi seemed to have been struck by a bolt of inspiration, and exclaimed urgently, "After Rong Xiazi's move today, he will definitely take further action. This is a warning! As members of the Rong family, we are born with the nature to bite back if bitten. That Rong Xiazi will definitely retaliate!"
Rong Sanbo listened, only then did he realize that things weren't as simple as they seemed!
Yes, he trained them himself, how could they forget what kind of personality he has! To say that he gave up the company for a woman and let those people betray him behind his back is simply far-fetched!
Two beams of cold light flashed in his eyes!
"I'll go talk to Rong Ling!"
Rongqi immediately let out a breath of relief. "Alright, Rongling is your brother, you finding him to talk this over is the best solution. Tell him that this time, what the clan did was not very honorable, but don't make him too resentful. The clan will come up with a way to compensate him!"
Upon hearing this, Rong San's mind immediately flashed with some content, and then he was startled, his tiger eyes widened!
He finally noticed something was wrong!
Rong Ling is forced out of the Rong family, which means the Rong family has lost its foundation. This is completely different from when Rong Qikeng could still be a manager!
Rong Ling, he was kicked out!
So, how will he stand on his own feet in the future!
If Rong Qingen were to be even more ruthless, wouldn't Rong Ling end up completely useless!
Rong Sanbo suddenly stood up!
This is when he felt something was wrong!
He had thought about this a lot, imagining that Rong Ling wouldn't be the head of the family anymore. At that time, he could go manage the branches of YADONG Group. He felt that with his skills, he would definitely thrive there. But he never expected that Rong Ling would actually be kicked out and given no position at all!
>>
Isn't that his son How could he not arrange a good future for him!
"Rong Qi, you are foolish, you all are foolish!"
"Rong Sanbo was furious. "What right do you have to kick him out!"
He never expected that his carelessness would lead to this result! He had been daydreaming about surpassing Ling, taking over Youyou, and thought it was all going smoothly. But now look at him! If this happened in the past, he wouldn't miss it for anything!
He was careless!
Rong Qi, upon hearing this, felt embarrassed and weakly defended himself. "I didn't expect this either. Rong Ling said he was leaving and just left, his demeanor at the time was quite frightening, and he even spoke those words. I was a bit dumbfounded, and his father wasn't saying anything either. I... I..."
"Damn it!" Rong Sanbo shouted. "During serious moments, none of you are even useful!"
This matter is problematic, very problematic!
"Let me think about it first, I'll give you a call!"
About this matter, he needs to calm down and think it over carefully!
Rong Qi agreed, hung up the phone.
Rong Sanbo immediately issued an order, instructing his two most trusted subordinates to rush to Rong Ling's side right away. They were to stay hidden and keep watch over him without making a sound. Any developments were to be reported back to him immediately. Then, he narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and quickly reached out to dial Rong Ling's number. The tapping of his fingers sounded rather hurried!uyou missed Daddy!"Sweet nothings came out of the little one's mouth. Then the little one playfully rubbed their head against Rong Ling's chest, not knowing what they were looking for, just rubbing an...
