GUYS! PLEASE DON'T BUY PRIV YET! The rest of the priv is not yet ready! There is a massive discount for everyone in the priv later!
"I own a company with more than four hundred employees. I could care about our blood relations and make those people and their families suffer. But I wouldn't do that."
"Father you — " Disbelief flashed in his eyes. "And you think that granddaughter of yours is ready? You think she can handle a multi-million dollar company? She? A fresh graduate who didn't show any interest and not an iota of experience in the industry?"
"Who told you that she would become the next CEO?"
The old man looked at his son as he wondered when did he say that Sera would become the company's next CEO.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I never say anything about her becoming the CEO. She is my heir, the largest shareholder of the company. But not the CEO."
"How — How is that — Then who will be the next CEO?"
The old man thought about the report that he received after Sera left the hospital. "You will know soon."
"Father, what are you talking about?" Confused, he walked towards his father, who was now leaning against the headboard of his bed. "Who is going to be the next CEO? If it's not Sera then…"
"It's not you." The old man clarified. "As the director, I have the right to veto anyone's vote and make someone CEO. Of course, if the board would really approve of you then, I would not do anything to stop that."
"You are saying that — I still have the chance to— "
"Nick Zhang… earlier… I told you my personal opinion about the company. I have been very honest. I don't think you are ready to become the next CEO. But if the board would all vote for you then… I wouldn't do anything to stop it." A cunning glint can be seen in the old man's eyes.

"Vote? You mean someone else is there?"
"I would assume." The old man said. If Sera was smart enough, she would exactly do what he thought she would do. Sell her shares to Mr. Quinn, who was about to hire her in their company. Last night, the old man discovered that Sera is actually being coaxed by the people of the Quinn Media. They wanted her to work for them.
From the reports, the old man discovered that Sera's expertise lies in cybersecurity, which is very in demand in the business world today. However, she refused to apply to any company and chose to start her own company with her friend, Miss Xu from Pane City. However, the most interesting thing about this matter is the fact that Quinn Media just invested in Psi.
The old man discovered that Quinn Media took an interest in Sera's work in cybersecurity. In fact, even Mr. Quinn's personal lawyer visited her in her home just to offer her a good contract. The old man thought that Sera is very different from the past Sera, who is interested in a lot of things about being a Zhang.
Right now, Sera doesn't even care about becoming a Zhang. She was indifferent about the money and the status. But, the current Zhang Corp would never improve without the input of someone new, someone smart and modern. The old man wanted Sera to inherit the company, hoping that she would use her expertise in computers to help the company.
But seeing how she didn't even react when she told her this, it was clear that being a CEO doesn't excite her at all. So a plan to help the company. The plan was actually too risky, as he wasn't sure how Sera would react once she heard about the news. All he could do now is hope that she would sell the company to Quinn Media.

An acquisition.
The old man was actually hoping for Quinn Media to acquire the company. According to the man's calculations, this was the easiest way to get rid of the shares that Sera would inherit. Yes, he already knew that Sera would try to get rid of those shares to avoid trouble. Running a company wouldn't interest her at all.
He watched as his son's face turned from dark to excited to confused. "But father… forty percent plus of the share is worth hundreds of millions. Are you certain, you are going to give her the shares? I mean… don't get me wrong, but Sera is pretty ambitious and aggressive. Who knows if she would attempt to hurt my family to get the rest of the shares? If you have already decided then… I believe it is best that you hire a representative for her. We need someone that would represent her in the meetings and even in your will read. I don't want her hurting my wife and daughter, my family."
"Hurt your family members?"
"Just like when she slapped Zhang Xin, you saw it. That slap mark didn't disappear for days."
"Of course it won't." The old man snorted. "My secretary sent something to your email. You can check it if you want to."
"What email?" Using his phone, Nick immediately opened the message, and almost immediately, his face turned grim. "This— "
"Are you certain she is going to hurt your family and not the other way around?"
Nick was completely speechless as she stared at the video, surprise flashing in his eyes.
"This is— "
"Your wife with her people. Trying to hurt my granddaughter." The old man said. "The only reason why I am not pressing charges is that I was hoping that Zhang Xin would withdraw the case against Sera. Once she does that, I wouldn't file a case against her. She has until tonight to do that."
"But father this could be an— "
"I have my people analyzed it. That is real. In fact, the reason why I agreed to see you today is because of this video. Take care of your wife. Make sure she doesn't do anything like this again."
Nick continued watching the video until he saw what Zhang Xin did to get that slap mark. "That woman is-"
"Vile." The old man only gave a gentle smile. "But aren't we all?"
