After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 419 - 316: Second Update

"Hmm." Shi Wangyue’s long fingers gently played with the platycodon, "You can tell them at the right time, a small loss in the early stage is nothing to us. What we like is a company with expectations, growth, a story, and imagination."

Assistant Jin sighed, "Why don’t these people understand that only the company itself cares about profits, while shareholders care about stock price? We are investing in the development and future of the company, not the present."

"If they knew this, what would they need us for?" Shi Wangyue said casually, "Youyou is waiting for me downstairs. I’m leaving work first."

"...Okay."

...

Ning Family.

Ming Jinxin saw her son Ming Chao quietly sitting in the living room playing with his phone, so she sat down next to him and quietly stared at him.

"Speak if you have something to say." Ming Chao’s focus was still on his phone, but his mind was with his mom.

Ming Jinxin hesitated for a while, then spoke, "What do you think of Hanhan?"

Ming Chao looked up, his deep eyes staring at her.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Ming Jinxin scratched her face, feeling quite embarrassed as she asked, "What do you think about dating Hanhan?"

Ming Chao sneered, "What do you think about me dating Youyou?"

Ming Jinxin’s face immediately changed, "Stop joking."

Ming Chao said calmly, "Then you stop joking too."

After speaking, he stood up, "I have some work to do at the company, I’m leaving now."

Ming Jinxin watched her son’s calm back, waited until he had completely left, then took out her phone and dialed her mother-in-law’s number.

"Mom, I’ve thought about it. Having Ming Chao date Hanhan is like having Ming Chao date Youyou." Ming Jinxin’s voice was filled with embarrassment, "Let’s not talk about it anymore, it’s too awkward."

Gu Xihuo, who had been waiting for her daughter-in-law’s news, heard this—

After thinking carefully, she also found it reasonable.

She turned around and told Ning Xian, who was browsing her phone across from her, "You should give up the idea of having Hanhan marry Ming Chao. Jinxin told me that she feels having Hanhan marry Ming Chao is like Ming Chao marrying Youyou, it’s too indecent."

Gu Xihuo, who cared about her face all her life, immediately dismissed her previous beautiful idea when she heard her daughter-in-law explain it to her like this.

Ning Xian, who had been planning for a long time, got anxious when she heard this, "Mom, that’s not a fair comparison. Ming Chao and Youyou are siblings, but our family, Hanhan, isn’t. They’re called cousins by name, but there’s no blood relation. They are eight generations apart. Why can’t they be together?"

Gu Xihuo felt her daughter made a valid point but still said, "Ming Chao and Youyou have no blood relation either. I think you should just forget about it. Jinxin isn’t interested, so let’s not force it."

She cares about her dignity.

But Ning Xian was very unwilling to give up.

The Fang family had been declining over the years.

The family business had been going downhill continuously. The family’s assets looked impressive, and people talked about them with high regard, but there weren’t many that truly made money, while many were losing money.

What Ning Xian was best at throughout her life was being sociable and tactful. But when it came to making money, starting a company, or running an enterprise, she had ambition and dreams, but not the ability to match.

Her husband, too, was someone without much capacity, who only knew how to spend money easily and enjoyed being a wealthy idle man.

Seeing her older sister take over the company and make the family business flourish, launching one company after another to go public; her younger brother starting his own business independently and thriving, gaining both fame and fortune, making loads of money.

She became more anxious, wanting to accomplish something as well.

But the more anxious she was to accomplish something, the less she was able to achieve anything.

She would invest a lot of money, yet couldn’t even earn back the principal.

Her son took after her husband, only knowing how to eat, drink, and have fun, unable to shoulder important responsibilities.

But her daughter was more like her, having ambition and cunning, and doing well in the entertainment industry.

Yet, no matter how well a female star did, it wasn’t a long-term plan for a family like hers that had a good foundation.

Ning Xian wanted to find a good match for her daughter while the Fang family’s difficulties were not yet known to the outside world and while her maiden family could still be relied on.

For the Fang family and for her daughter’s future.

The person who could become her son-in-law needed not only a good background but also to be capable.

Mother and daughter screened many candidates, finally setting their sights on Ming Chao.

Ming Chao’s parents were from generations of privilege, and he himself was good-looking with good character. Not only was he considered top-notch under these conditions in Jincheng, but even in Beijing, where connections and wealth were vast, he stood out as exceptionally outstanding.

But as good as Ming Chao was, he was originally not in Ning Xian’s consideration.

However, Fang Han liked him.

She also felt that being able to connect with them would be ideal.

The mother and daughter had been plotting for a long time, only choosing today to reveal their intentions.

She had thought that after laying so much groundwork for so long, Hanhan’s good relationship with her sister-in-law and enlisting her mom’s help would ensure their plan was more or less successful.

To her surprise, after waiting at home all day, she ended up with this result.

Leaving the Ning family villa with a belly full of frustration, Ning Xian returned home and picked up her phone to call her daughter in Beijing, furiously relaying Ming Jinxin and Gu Xihuo’s meaning to her verbatim.

Fang Han, who was still expecting good news, immediately lost her temper after hearing Ning Xian’s words, "Auntie really doesn’t agree, then she doesn’t agree. Why bring the cousin into it, it’s disgusting."

Ning Xian’s tone changed with anger, "This reason is indeed disgusting."

Fang Huai, who had been listening to his mother’s and sister’s conversation nearby, sneered, "Knowing it’s disgusting, you still have the nerve to come up with this idea? Marrying anyone wouldn’t suffice, why insist on marrying Youyou sister’s brother?"

"What do you know?" Ning Xian was furious at her son’s words, "If you or your dad had any ambition, your sister and I wouldn’t have to be so shameless."

Fang Huai rolled his eyes, "Yes, my dad and I are unmotivated slackers, while you two are diligent and hardworking, is that better?"

He got up, wobbling as he headed upstairs.

After a while, he tossed out a few words that drove his mom and sister mad, "If you really care about the business, with so many companies in our family, why don’t you both focus on the business like Auntie, taking more companies public? What’s the point of only eyeing men?"

"Fang Huai!" Fang Han exploded on the other end of the phone, "Shut up!"

"What’s wrong with me speaking a few truths?" Fang Huai shouted across, "You really have an unsightly way of doing things. In the entertainment industry, under uncle’s name, flaunting and deceiving, and now wanting to marry uncle’s son, are you relying solely on uncle?"

He had long been annoyed with his sister. Despite not being much herself, she always looked down on him at home.

"Besides uncle, what ability do you have? Just the ability to buy bags and show off online?"
