Xiao Li composed herself and looked up at Xiao Zhengnan. “Dad… I’m not that easy to manipulate.
It wouldn’t be easy for Uncle and the others to cheat me.
Besides, Qin Xiao is here now. With him around, others can’t bully me even if they want to!”
Xiao Zhengnan nodded. “I’m worried about you, but I have confidence in Ah Xiao.”
Xiao Li’s heart sank when she heard that. “Dad, get this straight. I’m your biological daughter.”
Xiao Zhengnan said without looking up, “It’s precisely because you’re my biological daughter that I know you well enough!”
Xiao Li received another blow.
Qin Xiao watched with a smile as she became more and more embarrassed.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, “Dad, the one who realized that something was wrong with Uncle’s family is Nini!”
Xiao Zhengnan nodded. “Yes, my daughter has the ability to make discerning judgment.
Since we already knew their ruthless ambition, these people can’t remain in the company anymore.
Nini, your uncle took good care of me when I was young. You know that your grandparents passed away early, so your uncle took good care of me, his younger brother.
Because of this, Dad wanted to help them after I achieved success in my business.
Initially, I wanted to give your uncle some capital and let them start their own small business.
But it turned out that he repeatedly failed in his business and lost everything.
So, I decided to let him work in my company. He started as a member of a small department, but after he joined the company, he was good at his work.
He did his job well, and he was my biological brother. Subsequently, I promoted him. Later on, Xiao Teng also joined the company.
The father and son had already become my right-hand men in the company. Then, I fell ill, so the father and son took over most of the company’s matters.
I thought that your ambition was not in doing business, and a girl shouldn’t have to work so hard. Your uncle and cousin would take care of this company for you. It’d be enough for you to get a bonus every year.
Unexpectedly, I almost let these dangerous and vicious tyrants stay in the company.”
Xiao Zhengnan felt a lingering fear as he spoke.
He wasn’t afraid that the Xiao Corporation he’d founded would be destroyed. What he was afraid of was that these people would scheme and kill for money and his Nini would be in danger.
Xiao Li smiled and said, “Dad, this isn’t your fault. You care about your family and hope that your family members will all have a good life.
It was just that some people were greedy.
Actually, thinking about it now, since Uncle was so capable, why didn’t he do a good job when he was working outside?
The moment he joined your company, he became proficient in everything. He probably had a plan!
Why would he want to grow a tree since you had already planted a tree with readily available fruits to pluck?
Dad, what do you think about Uncle?”
Xiao Zhengnan looked at Qin Xiao. “Ah Xiao, what do you think?”
Qin Xiao looked at Xiao Li. “Dad, why don’t you listen to Nini’s thoughts first?”
Xiao Zhengnan also looked at Xiao Li. “Nini, do you have any thoughts about this?”
Xiao Li nodded. “Dad, Uncle and Xiao Teng have been in the company for many years, and most of the company’s internal affairs have been corroded by them. There must be people in the upper echelons of the company who are on their side.
If Dad was fine, no one would have anything to say if you wanted to dismiss Uncle and the others.

But if I were to remove Uncle and the others after taking over the company, the shareholders would probably protest.
Besides, I didn’t know much about the company. It’s too late to learn it now.
Actually, in many large companies, many of their higher-ups and managers were not from the family clan. Most of them were senior managers hired from outside.
Therefore, I want you to personally remove Uncle from his position and engage an external executive for the high-level management position.”
After Xiao Li finished speaking, Xiao Zhengnan was silent for a long time.
His thoughts had always been that the people in charge of the company should be his own people.
Hiring someone from outside…
If they couldn’t even rely on their own people, could they trust the people outside?
Xiao Zhengnan asked this question. When Xiao Li heard this, she smiled and said, “Dad, that’s not right. For a company to do its business, do you think the employees are mostly family members or the majority are outsiders?
If outsiders can’t be trusted and all employees had to be your own people, then what’s the point of starting a company!”
Xiao Zhengnan also felt that it made sense. He had indeed thought wrongly.
Except…
“Nini, you know Dad’s health condition. I won’t be able to hold on for long. How can I find someone suitable from outside during this short period of time?”
Xiao Li smiled and said, “Qin Xiao has already found this person for you. He’s already on the plane back to the country.
In addition, Qin Xiao has hired specialists from home and abroad to come to C City. I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a full checkup tomorrow.”
Xiao Zhengnan waved his hand. “Since you and Ah Xiao have your own opinions about the company, I won’t interfere. When it’s time for me to make a decision, I’ll do it.
But I’m not going to the hospital. I know what kind of illness I have. There’s no cure for it, so stop tormenting me.”
Xiao Li’s eyes turned red. “Dad, even if you can live for another day, you should get treated! Don’t you want to spend time with me for another day?”
Seeing Xiao Li like this, Xiao Zhengnan could not bear it anymore and agreed to go for a checkup.
That day, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao did not return to the villa but stayed at the Xiao residence for the night.
In the night, the two of them slept quietly in each other’s arms. They were clearly newlyweds, but they couldn’t sleep at all…
Xiao Li’s heart was filled with Xiao Zhengnan’s matters, while Qin Xiao’s heart was filled with Xiao Li’s emotions. Everything else could be discussed in the future.
The next day, Xiao Li accompanied Xiao Zhengnan to the hospital for another checkup. Just as they left the house, Xiao Zhengfang and Chang Fang came again, but this time, they missed them.
In the hospital, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao attentively accompanied Xiao Zhengnan for the checkup. Xiao Li looked at all the details of the checkup results.
After the people Qin Xiao invited arrived at the hospital, Xiao Li listened to their discussion which went on for a long time. They finally conclued that Xiao Zhengnan did not have long to live.
Knowing the outcome, Xiao felt the pain in her heart. Nevertheless, she accepted the reality.
She had come back too late after all. If only she had brought her father here earlier when his illness was at the early stage, perhaps the results would have been different.
However, it was too late to say anything now. The only thing she could do was to spend time with him in his final moments.
After two days of examination in the hospital, the CEO Qin Xiao hired from overseas—Qin Xiao’s senior, Wallace had already taken his place.

Xiao Zhengnan knew that his body was already extremely weak. After all, he would wake up in pain every night.
So the company’s matters should not be delayed.
After meeting Wallace, Xiao Zhengnan quite approved of this young man’s character. In addition, his resume was really rich, and he was also recommended by Qin Xiao. What was there to be worried about?
After meeting him, Xiao Zhengnan immediately gave the order that all shareholders and some executives of the company had to attend the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow.
At Xiao Zhengfang’s house, the family had just finished dinner when Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng received the notice for the meeting tomorrow…
