"Be prepared. If Zhan refuse to marry then you will marry someone from the Wang family." Shen said.
"Didn't you say that Zhan has to marry Wang Xing? Then now why are you saying that Sheng has to marry someone from Wang family?" Xiang asked while frowning.
"I and Wang Ren decided that it would be best if Xiao Zhan marry Wang Xing. We also decided to not force them. If Zhan is refusing to marry Wang Xing then Wang Xing might not want to marry Zhan either." Shen said and the others nodded their heads.
"If Wang Xing refuse to marry into Xiao family then who will marry into the Xiao family?" Xin asked curiously.
"Well, among the children of Wang family, only Wang Xing, Wang Yibo, Wang Yixi and Wang Yixin are unmarried. Wang Yixin is a student so he is out of question. If Wang Xing refuse to marry then Wang Yixin will take her place." Shen said.
"What if I also refuse to marry then what will happen?" Sheng asked.
"Then Cheng will take your place." Shen said and glanced at Xiao Cheng.
"No way. I am not ready for marriage yet." Cheng said.
"If it goes like that then no one will want to marry, dad." Wei said.
"I don't think that my grandchildren are stupid enough to not tie with the Wangs. Family which is one of the most powerful business families in our country." Shen said confidently and the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then Wang Yibo is out of questions." Wei said and Shen smiled.
It wasn't that Shen was against the idea of Wang Yibo and Lusi's marriage. But he didn't want to force Lusi to marry Yibo. It would be unfair to Lusi if he forced her to marry Yibo as all the daughters of Xiao family had married on their own choice. So, Shen discouraged Wei from matching Lusi with Yibo.
"You said that if Wang Xing refuse to marry then Wang Yixi will take her place. Isn't Wang Yixi the daughter of Minister Wang Yang?" Ruyi asked and Shen nodded his head.
"If Wang Yixi is the daughter of Minister Wang Yang then it will be more beneficial if Zhan marry her instead of Wang Yixi." Wei said.
"Wang Yixi is an idol. She will never agree to marry now. Even if she marry Zhan ge, she will keep it a secret. If this marriage becomes a secret then it wouldn't bring any benefits to any of the companies. So, I think you should get rid of the idea of marrying her with Zhan ge." Xiao Lusi said.
"If both Wang Yixi and Wang Yixin is out of the list then it just remains Wang Xing and Wang Yibo." Xin said.
"That's right. We have Wang Yibo, the new CEO of Wang Empire. It will be great if he marry Lusi. Then Lusi will be the Madam Wang." Wei said with greed in his eyes.
"You want Wang Yibo to marry Lusi?" Shen asked and Wei nodded his head.
"Why not? Wang Yibo is the CEO of Wang Empire. He is the first son of Minister Wang Yang and Writer Wang Yubi. It will be beneficial for us in many ways." Wei said and Shen glanced at Lusi who had an unreadable expression on her face.
"You want Wang Yibo to marry Lusi because he is the CEO of Wang Empire. What will you do if he wouldn't be the CEO of Wang Empire in the future?" Shen asked and Wei frowned.
"What do you mean? Is Chairman Wang thinking of changing the CEO again?" Wei asked and Shen shook his head.
"It's not Wang Ren who wants to remove Wang Yibo from his position, it's Wang Yibo who refuse to be the CEO of Wang Empire." Shen said and the others were confused.
"What do you mean, Grandpa?" Zhan asked while frowning.
"Both of Xiao Empire and Wang Empire face loses this month. So, it's usual for the Chairman to scold the CEO." Shen said.
"That's right. You also scold me. It's not a big deal." Zhan said casually.
"That's right. It's not a big deal. But Wang Yibo made it a big deal." Shen said.
"Did he do something crazy?" Sheng asked curiously.
"Yeah, he indeed did something crazy." Shen said.
"What did he do?" Zhan asked curiously.
"When Wang Ren was scolding Wang Yibo, Wang Yibo wrote a application letter and gave it to Chairman Wang. Wang Yibo gave Chairman Wang two conditions and took a leave without Wang Ren's permission. He refused to go back to work before Wang Ren chose one of his condition. Now, he stopped going to work and is having fun with his friends." Shen said and the others were amused.
"What? Is business a joke for him? Didn't he afraid that Chairman Wang will remove him from his position?" Sheng asked.
"He didn't give a damn about it." Shen said.
"As expected from a spoil brat." Cheng said while rolling his eyes.
"I think it's a smart move." Zhan said.
"How?" Shen asked curiously.
"Well, Chairman Wang just replaced the CEO of Wang Empire not long ago, if he again replace the CEO then it will affect the company both internally and externally. So, Chairman Wang wouldn't remove Wang Yibo from the position of the CEO at least not yet." Zhan said and Shen nodded his head.
"That's right. Although there is a high risk of losing the position of the CEO, still Wang Yibo won it." Shen said.
"Are you saying that Chairman Wang accepted Wang Yibo's conditions?" Zhan asked while raising his eyebrow and Shen nodded his head.
"Wow, only Wang Yibo can dare to do something crazy like this." Sheng said.
"Well he indeed did something crazy as well as daring." Zhan said and chuckled.
"But don't you dare to do it with me. Because if you leave the position then Sheng and Cheng are always ready to replace you." Shen said Zhan while glancing at Sheng and Cheng.
"I know." Zhan said while rolling his eyes.
"So think about the marriage proposal and give me the answer in two days." Shen said and Zhan nodded his head.
"If you don't want to lose your authority over Xiao family and Xiao Empire, then don't take a wrong decision." Wei whispering to Zhan coldly and Zhan nodded his head.
That night, Xiao Zhan couldn't sleep all night. He kept thinking about Chen Ling and the marriage proposal from the Wang family. After thinking a lot, Zhan took his decision.

In a luxurious penthouse
Wang Yibo was sitting on the bed while researching on his laptop. He was researching about the Xiao family.
"The formar Chairmen and CEOs of Xiao Empire." Yibo mumbled and scrolled through the details of the formar Chairmen and CEOs of Xiao Empire.
"So, that's how Xiao family works. What a traditional family!" Yibo said and grinned as he got that the Xiao family works like ancient times.
"So, the first male heir of Xiao family will be the next head of the Xiao family as well as the Xiao Empire." Yibo said after analysing the history of Xiao family.
"If that's the case, then Xiao Zhan will be the head of Xiao family as well as the Xiao Empire after Xiao Shen. Then Xiao Zhan's first son will be the next heir of Xiao family and the future head of Xiao family and Xiao Empire." Yibo said and started to think.
"If Wang Xing marry Xiao Zhan then she will be the queen of Xiao Empire. But I won't let it happen." Yibo said coldly and started to think of a solution.
"How can I let someone else rules over both Xiao and Wang Empire when I can rule over both of the empires?" Yibo said while pouting and then smirked evilly.
Yibo took his phone from the nightstand and called Wang Jili who received the call on the second ring.
"What do you want now, boss?" Jili asked as soon as he received the call.
"Tomorrow take an appointment with Dr. Meng Ziyi." Yibo said and Jili frowned.
"Why? Are you sick?" Jili asked worriedly.
"I am fine." Yibo said and Jili frowned.
"Then why take an appointment with Dr. Meng Ziyi?" Jili asked as he was confused.
"Don't ask any question. Just do as I say." Yibo said while frowning.
"Fine. I will do as you say." Jili said while rolling his eyes.
"That's more like it." Yibo said with a smile and Jili again rolled his eyes.
"Do you want anything else?" Jili asked and Yibo started to think.
"Yeah. Tell Detective Li Wenhan to find photos of Xiao Zhan and his girlfriend. It's better to have the photos of their intimate moment." Yibo said and Jili became suspicious.
"What are you planning to do, Wang Yibo?" Jili asked in a serious tone as he could guess that Yibo was planning something.
"You will know soon." Yibo said with a smirk and hang up the call before Jili could say anything.
"Wang Yibo, you are such a genius." Yibo said while thinking about his plans and giggled cutely.
Then Yibo kept his phone and laptop on the nightstand and lie on the bed. He covered himself with a blanket and soon fell asleep with a smile on his face. That night, he had a very good sleep.
