Chapter 72 [Separation]

Chen Xingzhou was a little worried that Li Wendi would back down. All the pressure would be on him, and if he lost Changheng Real Estate at that time, he would be left with nothing.

This is the worst case scenario. However, in Chen Xingzhou's heart at this moment, the fear is accumulating little by little. He absolutely does not want to become a rich second generation who is oppressed and has nothing.

When Chen Jinxi heard that it was Li Wendi who notified her, she immediately frowned. She knew that Li Wendi called to let her brother be prepared to deal with their father's questioning, and also wanted to save Changheng Real Estate. However, in her opinion, her brother seemed to have expressed the idea of ​​abandoning Changheng Real Estate, so Li Wendi would definitely not sit idly by.

"Brother, you should call Li Wendi now and reassure her, so that the next thing can be handled easily. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that Li Wendi will plot against you behind your back." Chen Jinxi suggested.

Chen Xingzhou was not a fool. After calming down, he understood what Chen Jinxi meant. "Okay, I'll call Li Wendi right away."

When Li Wendi received Chen Xingzhou's call, he was surprised. He originally thought that Chen Xingzhou had given up the cooperation.

The two chatted for several minutes before hanging up the phone.

"Li Wendi's heart has calmed down." Chen Xingzhou sighed, "I think it's better for us to go see my father next. At least we can have a good attitude to admit our mistakes and fight for some things that belong to us."

Chen Jinxi thought for a moment and realized that what her brother said made sense, but how to fight for it was very important. "Then let's discuss how to tell Dad."

"This cooperation with Li Wendi is different from the last time. We didn't make too many mistakes, and Dad won't hold on to it. But Dad is very disgusted with the idea of ​​dividing the family. I think we should still admit our mistakes and cry bitterly to show that we don't want to compete with the eldest and them for the family property. We can only get some assets so that our second branch can rise. I think Dad will definitely agree out of pity. As for how much assets we can get, it depends on how much weight we have in Dad's heart." Chen Jinxi continued.

"Hopefully!" Chen Xingzhou felt that the situation was not optimistic. In his mind, his father Chen Fenben always favored the eldest wife and did not want outsiders to laugh at the family.

The two siblings discussed a lot and did not set out until late at night to return to the Chen family villa to meet their father.

Chen Family Villa Study
Chen Xingzhou and Chen Jinxi were standing while their father Chen Fenben was sitting on a chair. The atmosphere was a little tense and everyone understood what was going on.

"Have you figured out how to explain it to me?" Chen Fenben took a sip of tea calmly.

"Dad, I was wrong. I admit it. You have found out everything you should know. I am willing to withdraw from all the companies under the family." Chen Xingzhou said pretending to be disheartened.

It is better to take a step back at this time than to take a step forward. The two brothers and sisters are betting on Chen Fenben's heart. If he is very tough, they will naturally get nothing, and even Changheng Real Estate will be suppressed by the big house.

Chen Fenben looked at Chen Jinxi deeply, and he obviously guessed that it was Chen Jinxi's idea.

"Okay, since you are willing to give up, I won't say much. Just complete the handover as soon as possible."

Chen Xingzhou was slightly startled, but he endured it and nodded, "Well, if there is nothing else, we will go out first."

"What if I ask you to hand over Changheng Real Estate Company? What will you do? Will you resent me as your father?" Chen Fenben asked gloomily.

Chen Xingzhou shook his head. "Changheng Real Estate is not a family business, and has never taken any assets from the family company. I have no reason to hand it over to you, not to mention that this is a cooperative company."

"Do you think I can't get it? Or are you strong enough to fight me?"

"If you insist, I can only transfer Changheng Real Estate and look for other opportunities to rise." Chen Xingzhou changed his previous indecisiveness and became decisive and resolute. "You gave your brother the idea, right?" Chen Fenben turned his eyes to Chen Jinxi again.

"No!" Chen Jinxi immediately retorted, "This is the result of our discussion. If you want to favor the eldest wife and give all the family businesses to her, we can't say anything because that is the kingdom you built. However, we have the right to go out and try our luck in the outside world."

"Hmph! You're too naive to think you can make trouble just by picking on a little bastard. Without the Chen family's reputation, would people like Li Wendi cooperate with you? It'll be easy to eat you up." Chen Fenben said with a sneer.

"Whether we win or lose, how will we know if we don't try?" Chen Jinxi knew her father very well. Her father was obviously soft-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't have said so many unpleasant words.

Chen Fenben cast a gaze as cold as ice on the brother and sister, but the two showed no intention of retreating.

"good very good!"

Chen Fenben sighed helplessly, looked at Chen Xingzhou and said, "I can pretend that nothing happened, but it seems that you brothers and sisters are unwilling to stay in the family company."

Chen Fenben paused for half a minute, "My lifelong dream is to build a huge family. Now it seems that it is like other families, and it is bound to fall apart. I thought you could help your eldest brother. As long as you work together, no matter how things change in the future, there will always be a place for the Chen family in Hong Kong. What a pity."

"You know, he's not capable enough."

Chen Fenben spoke for a long time, and Chen Xingzhou and his sister stood there for a long time.

"Sit down if you're tired." Chen Fenben pondered for a moment, "They are all my sons and daughters. I can give you half of Hengyao Real Estate, but you can't transfer it to your current company. You'd better register a new company. My property cannot be given to outsiders."

The brother and sister looked at each other and said in unison, "Thank you, Dad!"

"Since you want to go out on your own, you won't have a share of the Chen family's assets in the future."

"Got it!" Chen Xingzhou and Chen Jinxi nodded. Being able to get half of Hengyao Real Estate was already beyond their expectations. There was no reason for them to take the rest of the property.

"You still want to withdraw from Changheng Real Estate. I don't like Li Wendi very much, but he is very capable. He rose to prominence in just half a year. He is a big shot. So you can cooperate with him, but you must be on guard against him. Those who target other people's family businesses are all ruthless and cruel."

Chen Xingzhou was a little hesitant. Although Changheng Real Estate was small, it was still a piece of meat. The business that was difficult for him to get involved in could be given to Changheng Real Estate. After all, he held 70% of the shares, and Li Wendi could not make any big waves.

"Yes, Dad!" Chen Jinxi agreed on behalf of Chen Xingzhou. Half of Hengyao Real Estate is at least 10 times that of Changheng Real Estate. There is no need to hesitate.

She was also worried that Chen Fenben would take back his promise, and then the second house would be left with nothing.

"Don't tell anyone about this. I will handle the other things." Chen Fenben waved his hand, indicating that the brother and sister could leave the study.

Chen Jinxi also noticed her father's tiredness and dejection. Family unity has always been something her father tried hard to maintain, but it turned out like this today, which is naturally a heavy blow to her father.

But Chen Jinxi did not regret it, because once the first branch came to power, the second branch would have no place to stay. Chen Fenben was too idealistic.
