CY Group—
Seth thought he would be severely scolded as soon as he entered the office. He had even prepared to make excuses.
Unexpectedly, Chu Hengyuan had been looking down at his phone and sending messages since he got out of the elevator. He continued to do so after entering the office.
Seth didn't dare to disturb Chu Hengyuan. He brewed some tea, carefully placed the teacup in front of Chu Hengyuan, and then sat on the office chair opposite, waiting obediently for Chu Hengyuan to finish sending messages and talk to him.
As time passed, ten minutes later, Chu Hengyuan slowly put down his phone.
Seth immediately sat up straight, looking seriously at Chu Hengyuan as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm black tea. "Explain yourself."
Chu Hengyuan was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Seth coughed lightly. "I don't think the slogan on the photo is wrong."
Chu Hengyuan rubbed his temples. "You've missed the point. The most important question now is, why did you hang my photo in the elevator? Fortunately, the Chinese branch of CY didn't do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, I'd be so angry that I might have a heart attack."
"Of course, it's to let all the employees of CY recognize you. In my heart, you're the only CEO of CY, and they should have this awareness too." Seth looked completely justified.
Chu Hengyuan twitched the corner of his mouth. "But now the CEO of CY is you, and for CY, I'm at most just a former person in power. I don't have any shares in CY now. CY isn't my company."
Seth got anxious. He looked as aggrieved as a 200 - pound child. "Didn't you say that you would return to CY after your 30th birthday? I'm just guarding the position of CEO of CY for you, but I never thought of sitting in this position for a lifetime. You're not going to back out, are you?"
Chu Hengyuan covered his forehead. Seth's current expression made it seem as if CY was an unwelcome mess. But CY was actually a leading enterprise in Country Y and had a certain status internationally. The contract he had used to threaten the head of the Xie family before was found from the Chinese branch of CY.
"Are you not happy working in CY?" It shouldn't be. Seth had even made it onto the international rich list as the CEO of CY.
Seth shook his head. "No, but I hope you can come back."
Chu Hengyuan sighed. "Can't you be a bit more ambitious?"
He knew that Seth was kind - hearted. But after so many years of struggling in the business world, he thought Seth would get used to the position of CEO of CY and like the feeling of holding power, and would forget what he had said.
Unexpectedly, Seth still remembered it so clearly.
Chu Hengyuan was indeed the original founder of CY Group. At that time, he was only 16 years old. Because he was a minor, he didn't register the group information under his own name at first. Instead, he used his friend's name. As a result, no one would ever know that CY Group was related to him.
After founding CY Group, it took him two years to make CY Group stand out in Kyoto. But at the same time, he inexplicably started to get sick often.
At that time, he was in college and met Seth at school. Admiring Seth's business talent, he started to do business with Seth.
Later, his friend was going to become a doctor, and the increasingly prosperous CY needed a legal representative who could show up. Taking a chance, he transferred CY to Seth's name.
Seth didn't let him down. After taking over CY, he didn't bite the hand that fed him.
After that, the aristocratic families in Kyoto began to be wary of CY Group, which was developing at an incredible speed. Under the guise of going abroad as an exchange student, he and Seth moved the main part of CY Group to Country Y. They were lucky that year. As soon as they arrived in Country Y, they got two or three big opportunities. In just one year, CY Group had a firm foothold in Country Y.
However, the better CY Group developed, the worse his illness became. Back in China, he just often caught colds and had fevers. After going abroad, he had to be hospitalized from time to time.
But after many physical examinations, the doctors all said that his body should have been in good condition.
Just when he thought he had some strange illness that medicine couldn't explain, one time after being discharged from the hospital, he met an old man at the hospital entrance. The old man spoke fluent Mandarin and told him in a mysterious way that his fate before the age of 30 was doomed to be poor. The more money he had, the worse his health would be. As for his fate after the age of 30, it was up to heaven. But before the age of 30, he'd better not come into contact with too much money.
He didn't plan to believe it at first, but his health was indeed getting worse. Gradually, he had to lie in the hospital for 20 days out of a month.
He couldn't bear it anymore and decided to believe this unscientific thing once.
He transferred all his shares in CY Group to Seth. On the very day when the share transfer was completed, all his ailments disappeared. It was a medical miracle.
After that, he had tried to return to CY, but every time he came into contact with too much money, he would get sick.
He was completely convinced by this theory of fate and gave up the idea of making a fortune. He returned to China to watch Chu Chuan, that clown, use all sorts of means for the Chu Group, while he himself was content to be a poor playboy. Of course, Seth would send him some important decisions of the CY headquarters for him to make. Although he was poor, he had always been working.
Seth always said that he was just temporarily guarding the shares that belonged to him. So every time he needed money, he would just ask Seth for it. As long as he didn't let the money stay in his account for too long, the illness wouldn't catch up with him.
"I have ambition!" Seth complained discontentedly. "If I didn't have ambition, how could I have guarded CY for so many years? It's just that my ambition doesn't conflict with your return to CY."
Chu Hengyuan still sighed. "Your ambition isn't big enough."
If Seth's ambition was big enough, he wouldn't be praying for his return to CY all day long. At most, after his 30th birthday, Seth could return a small amount of shares to him so that he could have enough to eat and wear.
Recalling the past events, he had to admit that he had chosen the right successor. Seth was sincere and loyal enough. But after so many years, why was his successor still so dependent on him? This wouldn't do. He was already used to his current idle life and didn't want to return to the busy days when he couldn't even have one meal a day.
"Brother! You just don't want to return to CY Group!" Seth was so aggrieved that he even wanted to roll on the ground. "Is it because your focus of life is now in China? As long as you're willing to return to CY, you can even move the headquarters of CY back to China. I'll even go back to China to develop in the future."
Chu Hengyuan took another sip of black tea. "I haven't reached 30 yet. Let's talk about such a distant thing later. You just do a good job as the CEO."
This time it was Seth's turn to sigh. In order not to let Chu Hengyuan keep harping on the photo he hung in the elevator, he changed the subject. "Brother, when will you bring sister - in - law to CY for a visit?"
