Chapter 1265: Chapter 1268: The Reason (Part 1)

The man is Uncle Mu’s son, named Mu Chen, forty-five years old, the chairman of Grand Real Estate.

The woman is Uncle Mu’s daughter, named Mu Rou, forty-two years old, the chairman of Grand Film and Television.

Both are listed major companies, with market values of billions.

This is the empire that the old Mr. Mu built for the two of them.

Uncle Mu has only these two children, so each was allocated a company.

The Mu family holds over fifty percent of the shares in these two companies.

Initially, they held more, but the old man was generous, distributing a lot to his subordinates; otherwise, the shares would definitely be over seventy percent.

Even if it were over seventy percent, no employee would say Uncle Mu was unkind.

After all, these two companies were completely built by Uncle Mu alone.

Until now, Uncle Mu has handed over all company matters to his children.

Yet a single word from him still commands respect from everyone in the company.

Moreover, the shares are still in his hands.

His pair of children are, in fact, still working for him.

Of course, Mu Chen and Mu Rou, raised under his influence and training from a young age, manage the companies very well.

However, compared to their father, they still fall short by quite a bit.

Their advantage is that they are twenty to thirty years younger than their father and much more energetic.

Otherwise, the old man probably wouldn’t retreat to his hometown to enjoy his years.

However, for major decisions and directions, Mu Chen and Mu Rou would still consult their father.

Chess was played until past ten at night, only ending after several scolding words from the elderly lady.

To this day, after nearly a dozen rounds, Uncle Mu hadn’t won a single game.

In the middle, Lin Xi considered letting him win a round.

But upon reflection, decided against it.

Because, for Uncle Mu, it would be disrespectful behavior.

Moreover, even though Uncle Mu lost so many rounds, he was not discouraged nor crestfallen, nor did he seem greatly affected.

But rather, he grew increasingly spirited.

This is no surprise that he was able to build such a vast enterprise.

Uncle Mu held onto Lin Xi, saying several times to battle again tomorrow.

Lin Xi smiled, not saying much.

He was to leave tomorrow, so he really had no time to play chess again.

But, of course, he didn’t refuse now.

Otherwise, should the old man wait for the elderly lady to sleep, he might drag him for another battle.

Even if he didn’t sleep for several days, it wouldn’t affect him at all.

But continuing further really held no meaning for him.

After all, he had completely grasped Uncle Mu’s strategies.

Although there would be some progress and thoughts on his end, nothing exceeded his expectations.

Mu Chen and Mu Rou remained seated beside them, watching the chess games.

It could be said that the most shocked that night were the two of them.

This young man was definitely not ordinary.

One must understand, a lot can be discerned about a person from a game of chess, especially from our Huaxia’s ancient chess.

There’s a wealth of things contained within it.

What’s more, the old man was saved by this person.

Given the old man’s personality, anything happening next would be possible.

Placed in the past, they couldn’t do anything about it, nor were they managing the company, so they wouldn’t worry so strongly.

But now, having managed the company for over ten years.

If there were any changes in shares, they would really struggle to accept them.

After all, in their eyes, it was entirely theirs now.

But their father wasn’t one to do something like this just once or twice.

The key question is: who on earth was this young man? They had no idea.

After exchanging a glance, both nodded in greeting goodnight to the old man and then to the elderly lady.

Of course, they smiled at Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le as well.

Afterwards, each returned to their rooms to rest.

But late into the night, Mu Chen and Mu Rou were still unable to sleep.

After communicating via text message, they secretly got up.

In a small room, they discussed the matter, pondering their response.

Of course, their initial thought was to go talk to the old man for clarity.

That is, whether these two were up to something.

After all, what a coincidence, appearing right there.

That was the wilderness, a place where no one should be present.

If anyone were present, they would be some backpackers, or forest rangers, or park staff; but two good-looking young people of no ordinary demeanor appearing there was quite strange.

Here’s something to note.

Ever since Lin Xi kept breaking through, with his bones frequently changing, he grew increasingly handsome.

Previously, he could be said to have a hint of handsomeness, or it couldn’t be called handsome.

Now, he wasn’t a different person, but he was entirely at the level of a handsome man.

Not today’s effeminate kind of handsome man, but a masculine and tough kind of handsome man.

And moreover, the more you looked, the more attractive he became.

Maybe some fangirls or whatnot, upon seeing him, might—um—get all wet, or perhaps it’s very likely.

After all, no one could compare to his levels of male hormones.

If he participated in a beauty contest, he would definitely be the champion.

The two discussed for a while and ultimately rejected the idea of confronting their father.

From their understanding of their father, it would definitely ignite his anger.

Then, the moment he hadn’t thought of it originally, he likely would have that idea.

They truly wouldn’t even be able to cry over it.

"What should we do?" Mu Rou looked at her older brother.

In her eyes, Mu Chen always had his own viewpoints and his personality was much like their father’s.

Mu Chen, troubled, thought for quite some time before finally saying, "Wait and see!"

Mu Rou was silent for a long time.

Beyond that, there wasn’t much else they could do.

In their life, this was the first matter they couldn’t control at all.

"If the boy doesn’t appreciate it when the time comes, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"

"Of course, if he does appreciate it, even if it’s a few million handed over, I’m willing; but shares, absolutely not!"

Mu Rou nodded; she shared the same sentiment since concerning shares even fifty percent would be difficult.

If someone heard them speaking this way, they would definitely think they were overthinking.

Giving shares or whatnot to a stranger, even as a life-saving favor, sounded too unusual or basically impossible.

But they could only smile wryly.

Indeed, their father is that kind of person.

Or rather, whatever their father did, no ordinary person could understand.

The next day, shortly after dawn.

Uncle Mu was already up washing.

After finishing his routine, he went to the courtyard wanting some exercise.

But upon glancing over, he saw Xiaolin was already there.

Moreover, practicing boxing, a type he didn’t understand.

Honestly speaking, I was working overtime until one in the morning, woke up at nine, and wrote until now, completing two Chapters, yet will still need to go to the company for overtime... not sure how long it’ll last...
