Chapter 46: Taking Advantage of One’s Seniority

Just as the atmosphere became more stable, the main door opened. The current general manager of the Yun Corporation, Yun Chang, walked in.

Yun Chang was the youngest of the three brothers of the Yun family. From a young age, he knew that his second brother, Yun Yi, would inherit the family’s business. His ambitions were not here either, so he became a wastrel without any qualms. When he was young, he was a famous playboy in Jing City.

However, Yun Yi’s death was sudden and bizarre. Yun Chang had no choice but to take over Yun Yi’s job. Only after truly standing in that position did Yun Chang realize what Yun Yi had endured in order to let him live his days in peace. The higher the position, the more responsibility there was. There were both internal and external problems, which really made Yun Chang flustered for many years.

Up until now, Yun Chang had not been fully qualified to be the general manager.

When he saw Su Yan, Yun Chang immediately walked over quickly with genuine concern on his face. His usually well-maintained face was squeezed out with a few wrinkles. “You look alike, you really look alike.”

Before Su Yan could react, Old Master Yun immediately replied, “You think so too, don’t you? Xixi and your second brother are clearly carved from the same mold.” Old Master Yun seemed to be a little down at the mention of his late son.

Hence, Yun Chang’s ‘almost identical to Second Sister-in-law’ was stuck in his throat.

Yun Xuan cleared his throat and had an idea. “Third Brother, have you seen the proposal I submitted? Why didn’t you approve it?”

In reality, this plan could be considered an experiment for Yun Xuan to use his power for personal gain. The plan did not seem to have any problems, and it did indeed look like it was for the benefit of the company. However, when it was put into practice, there were loopholes everywhere. Any place could become a place for Yun Xuan to seek personal gains.

The smile on Yun Chang’s face faded, and he looked uninterested in Yun Xuan’s proposal. He said calmly, “We’ll talk about it when we get to the company.”

However, Yun Xuan was relentless. “There are too many people in the company. Who knows what may happen. It’s better to say it at home, we’re all family after all, so there’s no need to worry about any problems.”

Not only did he reveal his intentions, but he also praised the other members of the Yun Family. This made everyone present look much better.

However, Yun Chang didn’t fall for it. He only said warmly, “It’s a family banquet now. Let’s not talk about business.”

With that said, Yun Chang took out an exquisite gift box from his briefcase. He chuckled and handed it to Su Yan. “This is for you. Take a look and see if it looks good.”

Su Yan received Yun Chang’s gift in surprise. In various ways, this was probably the first gift she had received from an elder since she had her memories.

The gift box was opened. It was a vibrant bracelet, it was a very comfortable light purple color.

The moment the bracelet appeared, the atmosphere in the room changed.

The hypocritical smile on Yun Xuan’s face froze. A moment later, a commotion broke out in the room. A few of the elders who were proud of their status and did not lower their heads to talk to Su Yan had a drastic change in expression. They stared at the bracelet on Su Yan’s hand.

It was as if this bracelet was some sort of peerless treasure.

However, from Su Yan’s point of view, although the bracelet looked good and the jade species was good, it was just a bracelet. It did not deserve such an expression from these people.

Su Yan looked at Yun Chang in puzzlement. Before Su Yan could ask anything, an old man who had not given Old Master Yun any face since the beginning suddenly knocked his walking stick on the floor. A dull sound rang out in the room. The old man looked at Yun Chang as if he was looking at an ignorant child.

After looking at it for a long while, he snorted and said, “Why are you so insensible? This is the Yun family’s secret, how can you just give it away so casually?”

Yun Chang said indifferently, “It’s just a bracelet. Xixi is the only girl in my family. Who else should I give it to?”

The old man hit his walking stick twice more and pointed at Yun Chang with trembling hands. He panted heavily.

“Second Uncle, there’s no need to give me that. You are probably not qualified to flaunt your seniority,” said Yun Chang coldly. He did not even look at the old man.

Seeing that no one was cooperating with him, the old man slapped his thigh again and sat on the ground like a child. He cried, “Grandpa, if you were still alive, you would be heartbroken to see these unfilial descendants squander your inheritance like this. Grandpa, the heavens have no eyes.” The old man was shriveled and thin. It looked really ugly when he fell to the ground crying.

Initially, Su Yan thought that since the bracelet looked like it had a secret, she might as well give it up. However, after seeing the old man’s pestering, she changed her mind and put the bracelet back into the box. She grinned and said, “Third Uncle, this gift is good. I really like this bracelet. Thank you, Third Uncle.”

Her expression was as obedient as she could be.
