After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 365 - 274: Second Update
Beijing.
In the Ning family’s tea room.
Ning Yi pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Shi Wangyue and sighed, "It’s been so many years since we last met, and in the blink of an eye, you’ve all grown so much."
Shi Wangyue adjusted the teacup, "Uncle, you haven’t changed much from before."
Ning Yi waved his hand and smiled, "Hey, I’ve gotten old."
"Youyou often talks to me about your stories," Shi Wangyue replied respectfully, "and because of that, you’ve always been a senior that I greatly admire."
Ning Yi was already used to being praised, and theoretically, he wouldn’t be thrilled by a few words from a junior.
But Shi Wangyue’s words carried a different weight.
Not only did he praise him, but it also showed that his daughter was very satisfied with him since childhood.
This was what made him particularly joyful. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"I don’t have much talent, just doing something I love and sticking with it," Ning Yi didn’t put on airs and drank a cup of tea himself, then refilled Shi Wangyue’s half-finished cup, "As for you, you are young and promising. Recently, many of my friends have mentioned you, saying you young people are quite impressive these days."
"Uncle is joking. Being able to persist in one’s dreams is remarkable in itself. What’s more, you excel in the industry you love!" Shi Wangyue elegantly sipped the hot tea, "I’m merely more sensitive with numbers and have a bit more aptitude in finance, allowing me to establish myself in the industry, unlike you who make impactful films that influence so many people."
"I alone can’t support all of this," Ning Yi admitted without hesitation, "I’ve reached this point in life thanks to the support of Youyou and many friends, otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the courage to plunge into the film industry."
He said, "I’m actually not very patient, my management skills are lacking, and many things at the company are thanks to the help of Youyou and friends. Nowadays, both at home and outside, it’s your Aunt Ming who is handling things."
Shi Wangyue glanced at Ning Yi, who still bore a bit of pride on his face.
He couldn’t help but wonder, with Uncle Ning having such an understanding, it was no wonder that, approaching fifty, he still retained the youthful spirit of an artist, enabling him to consistently produce high-quality works.
"Speaking of which, I remember you were younger than Youyou when you were little, right?" Ning Yi smiled at Shi Yibai.
Shi Wangyue took a sip of water, "Less than half a year younger than Youyou."
"Oh." Ning Yi nodded, "I didn’t realize it."
"Uncle, do you think I’m boring because I don’t seem interesting?" Shi Wangyue lowered his gaze slightly.
People who are too serious are always seen as uninteresting in the eyes of artists.
"No, no," Ning Yi, seeing his sudden cautious demeanor, quickly waved his hand, "It’s good for a boy to be steady because it means he will understand responsibility better."
Shi Wangyue straightened his spine and sat upright in front of Ning Yi.
"I don’t know if Uncle is aware."
He lowered his head and smiled.
This smile appeared forced in Ning Yi’s eyes, "My father passed away early, my mother remarried, my grandparents aren’t very close to me, and I’ve been in the United States all these years, not as liked as other cousins who are around."
He lowered his head and rubbed the cup, "Living alone abroad, if I’m not a bit steady or don’t learn early on what responsibility means, I’m afraid I’d still be struggling to survive somewhere."
This Shi family kid... truly had it rough.
Young as he was, studying abroad, starting several companies, all relying on his own efforts, without any relatives around to help...
Not to mention the disarray in the Shi family these past two years.
Ning Yi’s gaze at Shi Wangyue softened significantly.
He then cautiously asked, "How do your family’s matters affect you?"
Shi Wangyue’s demeanor instantly became calm, "With the work group’s intervention, the hidden debts off the books of the group will gradually surface, and various drawer agreements and violations are also laid out before the work group. The family will completely lose disposal rights over the group."
"Next, to prevent clients, partners, and employees from being harmed by the group, other companies will take over the group’s projects to ensure the debt repayment rate of financial institutions. Other family companies, including circuit and power businesses, mineral companies, and assets or stock rights in listed companies might be sold."
"These things..." Shi Wangyue’s face revealed a very complex smile, a mix of bitterness and relief, "The family never gave me anything from childhood, and I know nothing about the business dealings of the group, nor do I hold any shares in the group’s companies, so it doesn’t really involve me."
Ning Yi took a deep breath, unsure whether he should feel sad or glad for the child before him.
"It’s good that you don’t have to wade through this mess," he said after a while, patting him on the shoulder, "Since you grew up with Youyou, if there’s anything you need in life or work, feel free to ask us. We are, after all, the elders who watched you grow."
"Being with Youyou is a blessing for me," Shi Wangyue looked at Ning Yi, smiling gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle, for your support and kindness, which I will deeply remember."
Just a casual mention of a willingness to help and it moved this Shi family kid so much?!
Ning Yi’s heart softened, and he felt a bit of heartache.
And at the same time, a bit of anger!
Shi Manchuan and Shi Jinrong, those people, this child is the only son of their eldest brother, yet showed no concern at all?!
What kind of family are they?!
"With your family’s situation, it means creditors both domestically and abroad, even if they dismember the entire group, won’t get any valuable assets," Ning Yi sighed, "I suppose your second uncle and others will have a rough time ahead."
"I’ve always been insignificant at home," Shi Wangyue took a long breath, "I couldn’t do anything about little matters, and now that there’s such a big issue, I can’t even suggest anything."
Ning Yi looked at him deeply, then stood, "I’ll go see when the meal at home will be ready, you rest here for a while."
"Uncle, let me go," Shi Wangyue got up with him.
...
In the Ning family kitchen.
Ming Jinxin was elegantly arranging several boxes of exquisite handmade pastries into Japanese-style utensils.
Afterward, she placed them one dish at a time onto a wooden platter.
She called out, "Ming Chao, Ming Chao."
Ming Chao put down the financial magazine he was reading and walked into the kitchen.
"Take these pastries to the tea room," Ming Jinxin instructed.
Ming Chao’s handsome face immediately turned sour, "I’m not a worker, am I?"1314
