Chapter 551: A Lesson from Elders
Yan Kejun expressed the grievances and resentment in his heart. Although his face was stinging from Yan Zhengxiong’s slap, he endured it forcefully without uttering a cry of pain.What he feels heartache for now is Song Yinyin!
But, Yan Zhengxiong waved his hand and scolded:
"I don’t care who caused this matter. In short, this woman Song Yinyin has brought shame to the Yan Family. If you have any backbone, don’t come crawling back to her!"
He had an expression of frustration and anger, staring sternly at Yan Kejun’s face.
Seeing Yan Kejun’s youthful vigor and a hint of rebellion on his face only fueled his anger more.
"Do you know how much effort I’ve put into getting you into your current position? Among so many descendants of the Yan Family, there are still a few uncles alive, and you have a few cousins above you, more cousins below, and two outstanding female cousins... Who doesn’t want to be the head of the family, who doesn’t want to be the president of Yan Group?!"
Yan Zhengxiong pointed at Yan Kejun’s face and enumerated.
Hearing this, Yan Kejun remained silent and did not refute.
The fact that the Yan Family has many descendants is undeniable.
Yan Zhengxiong is the eldest. Years ago, he originally had a son, but he passed away young. Yan Kejun’s father was ranked third, and Yan Kejun was raised by Yan Zhengxiong.
He also has a second uncle, a fourth uncle. The second uncle has two sons, one older than Yan Kejun and one younger.
And his fourth uncle has two daughters, both are Harvard University economics PhDs, very outstanding.
In terms of qualifications and conduct, he has no particular advantage.
The only advantage, perhaps, is that since he grew up by his eldest uncle Yan Zhengxiong’s side, and was regarded by him as a son, outsiders naturally assumed he was the first son of the family.
"If you listen and properly manage the Yan Group for me, I can let you sit stably in this position. But if you don’t heed my advice, don’t blame me for personally dragging you down!"
Yan Zhengxiong’s sharp eyes bore into Yan Kejun, delivering a cold, extremely threatening sentence through his thin lips.
Upon hearing this, Yan Kejun’s pupils contracted, and he shivered.
If Yan Zhengxiong dragged him down, it would mean abandoning him, no longer supporting him.
Without Yan Zhengxiong’s assistance and support, his position in the Yan Family would become precarious, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Faced with choosing between the woman he loves and his ambition, Yan Kejun opted for the latter.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Yan Kejun dared not say much more. He moved his lips and drooped his head in defeat: "Eldest Uncle, your reprimand is justified. It’s me who didn’t think things through and nearly messed up the important matters."
Satisfied with Yan Kejun’s response, Yan Zhengxiong finally nodded slightly, relaxing his stern expression, and asked: "How is your communication with Professor Qin Qing going?"
"Responding to Uncle, as you instructed, I have offered Professor Qin the most generous terms and promised to pay his penalty with Mainland Group."
After pausing, Yan Kejun added, "From what I gathered from Professor Qin Qing’s tone, he seems to lean more towards us, the Yan Family. I heard he met with some misfortune and unpleasantness at Mainland Group."
Finally, a trace of smile appeared on Yan Zhengxiong’s face.
His right palm tapped lightly on the mahogany sofa, nodding in approval: "Hmm, you handled this matter well."
Speaking, he looked up at Yan Kejun, noticing the red mark on his face, his expression softened with an apologetic look.
"Don’t blame your eldest uncle for being too harsh on you; it’s simply that I have been too worried. I also know your feelings for that Song Yinyin."
Yan Zhengxiong softened his tone and spoke earnestly.
