Chapter 3: The Sparrow Becomes a Phoenix

In Mrs. Shen's study, the old lady was writing calligraphy. After Shen Ziyin came in, she stood at the table very restrainedly and watched, her grandmother's study was her first time, and it was also the first time she saw her grandmother writing calligraphy. The old lady wrote these words with a full pen, with roots and bones, and three points into the wood.

Shen Ziyin couldn't help but look at the old man in front of her who made her nervous, she was sixty-three this year, but her skin was still fair, and although there were a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, they were not deep. The curls of the ear are jet black and shiny, and they should be colored. Although she is not as energetic as a young man, she is full of energy. Although she does not have the beautiful face when she was young, she has more elegant temperament and beauty. Although she does not have the impulsiveness and fanaticism of young people, she is more calm and capable. Shen Ziyin looked at the grandmother in front of her, and suddenly she no longer felt so strange and apprehensive, but had a feeling of respect and pity, because her father was the son of the old man in front of her, and the old man who was a mother was definitely more sad than anyone else when her son was sick, but she was now very strong and calm.

"Sit down, girl, I didn't let you go to the hospital to see your father today, you resent me very much. The old lady hung the cleaned brush on the pen holder.

"No, Ziyin doesn't dare. Shen Ziyin replied humbly. She complained, of course she complained, complained that the old lady was tyrannical, and even more complained that she was powerless and couldn't do her filial piety in front of her father's bed.

"Girl, my father's illness may put our Shen family and the entire Shen family in crisis, I suddenly called you back and hope you can understand grandma's painstaking efforts. The old lady said as she sorted out the scroll.

"Isn't the company developing very well?" Shen Ziyin was stunned.

"Girl, the company is developing very well, but your father is now ill, although he has woken up today, but if he wants to recover, it will take at least a year and a half. Not to mention a year and a half, if the news of your father's illness is spread now, I think some people will not be able to wait for a quarter of an hour, and then the entire Shen family will change hands and will no longer be controlled by our Shen family. When Old Madam Shen said these words, she seemed to be calm and light, without any expression, but her eyes became deep.

"But even if the shares of the two of them are combined, they are not as much as our family. Shen Ziyin knew who some of the people her grandmother was talking about. Their Shen family is a family business, her great-grandfather has two sons and a daughter, and the old lady of the Shen family divided the property into three parts when he was still alive. The eldest daughter holds 19% of the shares, the eldest son, Shen Ziyin's grandfather, holds 52% of the shares, and the younger son holds 29% of the shares. Therefore, the Shen family has always been the final say of the Shen Ziyin family.

"Girl, remember, don't just look at the surface in everything, people are selfish. The current situation is very unfavorable to our family, our family is weak and sickly, and he is not doing his job, and the Shen family cannot be destroyed in his hands. You are calm, not only have you studied, but also the major you have learned is the right one, so now only you are responsible for the chairman of the company. The old lady stared at her granddaughter very earnestly.

"I, can I do it?" Shen Ziyin suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and asked her to be the chairman of the company, she heard it right, she was grandma's least favorite granddaughter in this family, but now grandma has to take on her, she really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Are you confident or incompetent?" the old lady asked rhetorically.

"Both. Grandma, I just graduated from college, and I'm afraid I'll be useless in learning. The Shen family is so big, I'm even more afraid that I won't be convinced. But my brother is different, he is the son of the Shen family, and the Shen family will hand it over to him sooner or later, so why not take advantage of it now?" Shen Ziyin said the concerns in her heart, she was afraid that she would ruin the Shen family.

"You veto yourself without trying, that's not your style. Girl, when your father sent you to study in the UK, he hoped that you could come back to work for the company after you completed your studies, this is your father's hope for you, do you think..."

Old Madam Shen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Okay, I'll go, I'll definitely live up to my father's expectations of me. Shen Ziyin's eyes were a little more determined and confident, as long as her father asked her to do it, she would definitely be duty-bound. Because in this family, only her father loves and protects her, and her father has always been her spiritual pillar and the driving force for her to live.

"Well, okay, then you will go to work in the company tomorrow, and tomorrow morning the company will hold a high-level meeting, and I will go with you. By the way, don't tell your brother about this matter yet. Old Madam Shen explained.

"Hmm," Shen Ziyin nodded.

"Girl, don't be sad about your father's illness anymore, your father will get better soon, go upstairs and rest, Mother Wu has prepared all the daily necessities for you." The old lady's face finally showed a kind smile.

At this moment, Shen Ziyin thought that she was hallucinating, but her grandmother's smile and words were very real, which made her feel very warm and happy.
