56: The old man is too partial!
Grandpa would give 40% of Zhang's Group shares to himself?
Zhang Fan originally didn't believe it.
But seeing Zhang Miaomiao, who was hysterical and like a madwoman, Zhang Fan felt a bit uncertain.
Could it be true?
His heart couldn't help but speed up, and his breathing became rapid.
Zhang Fan immediately took out his phone and dialed his dad's number.
It rang for a while on his dad's end before finally connecting.
"Dad..."
Just as Zhang Fan was about to ask, his dad spoke first:
"Your eldest uncle, second uncle, third aunt, fifth uncle, sixth aunt... they are all at our house right now!"
"I'm very busy right now, so let's talk about it later if there's anything!"
He hung up after speaking.
Zhang Fan listened to the dial tone from his phone, frozen in place.
The Zhang family was very large, with many descendants, so family affection was very, very thin.
Unless there was an important matter, or during holidays, they would visit each other.
But today, all those uncles and aunts actually came to their house!
This was very unusual!
Zhang Fan immediately realized that what Zhang Miaomiao said was most likely true!
"The old man really transferred 40% of the shares to me? This is just too... damn awesome!"
...
Lüdi Villa.
Villa No. 9.
The usually spacious living room was packed with people today.
Dozens of people crowded into the living room, with no space left to stand; some even sat in the dining room.
Without exception, all these people were Zhang Fan's uncles, aunts, and grandaunts.
They wouldn't come without a reason!
Their sudden arrival was naturally not to visit Zhang Hongcheng's family, but for the matter of the 40% shares.
At first, these relatives were still relatively restrained, but gradually, they completely revealed their ugly true colors.
"How can a child like Zhang Fan, who hasn't even fully grown, get so many shares? What qualifications does he have?"
"We are all father's biological sons and daughters, and we didn't get anything. Why should a junior like him get it?"
"If you ask me, these 40% shares should be equally divided among each family; that's fair and just!"
"Exactly! Father is too biased. We have always been filial and served him diligently all these years!"
"Why should all the benefits be monopolized by one grandson? This isn't fair!"
"Fourth Brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Among us siblings, I respect your character the most because you are the most just!"
"I just want to ask Fourth Brother now, 40% of the shares, what qualifications does Zhang Fan have to inherit them?"
"Exactly! None of us elders inherited anything, why should he?"
"..."
Such accusations had been going on for almost half an hour.
Zhang Hongcheng would initially respond a few times, but now he was completely silent.
With sixty or seventy siblings, even if each spoke one sentence, he couldn't handle it; ten mouths wouldn't be enough.
Zhang Hongcheng himself was also confused; the old man actually just gave 40% of the group's shares to Zhang Fan.
What on earth did he want to do?
Of course.
Despite his confusion, Zhang Hongcheng was still very excited in his heart.
The group shares that his siblings had coveted for many years actually fell into his son's hands; it was like a pie falling from the sky!
It wasn't until his siblings had talked themselves hoarse and quieted down a bit that Zhang Hongcheng slowly said:
"This matter is Dad's intention. I really don't know what his specific plans are!"
Zhang Hongcheng looked at his siblings: "But we, as his children, know what kind of person Father is!"
"He has always been a man of his word. For the decisions he makes, we, as his children, only have to obey!"
"Fourth Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Second Brother Zhang Honghai shouted: "According to you, so many shares should belong to your fourth branch?"
"Fourth Brother, are you trying to monopolize the group shares?"
"Fourth Brother, you are too greedy; aren't you afraid of choking to death!"
The other siblings were emotional and showed signs of renewed accusations.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Zhang Hongcheng roared, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Zhang Hongcheng's face was cold as he surveyed his siblings, huffing coldly:
"I said, this is Dad's intention. If you have any dissatisfaction, go ask him. Why are you asking me?"
"Do you think I can hand over these shares and let you divide them equally?"
"If I really had that ability, wouldn't it be better to monopolize the group shares myself? How would it be Zhang Fan's turn?"
Everyone was speechless.
They had the guts to come and cause trouble at Fourth Brother's house, but to question the old man?
They wouldn't dare even with ten times the courage, or a hundred!
The old man was a man of his word; who would dare to defy his wishes?
They actually understood.
Once the old man made a decision, no one could change it.
Even if they blew up Fourth Brother's house today, it wouldn't change anything.
They were just angry, aggrieved, jealous, unwilling, with nowhere to vent... The old man was truly too biased!
40% of the shares!
They were actually all given to Zhang Fan?
What about them?
They didn't get a single bit!
Even if the old man had given them a little, just a token, they wouldn't feel so aggrieved.
But they got absolutely nothing!
It was too disheartening!
After venting, the group of siblings all fell silent.
Some sisters were so upset that they even started to cry softly.
For a time, Zhang Fan's home was filled with gloom and lamentation.
Seeing this, Zhang Hongcheng let out a long sigh of relief, feeling utterly exhausted!
He was truly too tired!
More tired than a life-and-death struggle with the advanced monster, Giant Rock Black Bear.
"Everyone, please sit down. I'll go pour you some tea!"
Zhang Hongcheng said, quietly exited the living room, went up to the master bedroom on the second floor, and then closed the door.
"Husband!"
Yang Ling came up to him: "How is it? Have they all left?"
These siblings making a fuss at home gave her a headache.
She had secretly hidden upstairs.
"Not yet!"
Zhang Hongcheng sighed heavily and plopped down on the sofa:
"Call Zhang Fan and tell him not to come home these few days. He can go to Changle West Garden or a hotel, anywhere!"
"In short, don't come back for now; it's inconvenient for him to show up at this time!"
"Mhm, I understand!"
Yang Ling quickly agreed.
She also agreed that her son shouldn't come home these few days; if he did, he'd be eaten alive by his uncles and aunts!
After giving the instructions, Zhang Hongcheng finally relaxed and couldn't help but curse with a smile:
"That little rascal, he really hit the jackpot, effortlessly taking 40% of the group's shares!"
"On the other hand, we, his sons and daughters, got nothing!"
"To be honest, even I think the old man is really biased!"
Zhang Hongcheng knew that most of his siblings were not doing well.
Those who awakened the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation were, after all, a minority.
The vast majority were ordinary people, or had ordinary transformations.
They received tens of thousands of yuan each month, living better than ordinary people, but definitely not wealthy.
Therefore.
They were all eyeing the group shares, hoping to turn their fortunes around when the old man distributed shares!
Now, the old man directly gave 40% of the shares to his grandson; it would be strange if they weren't furious!
"Husband, what exactly is the old man up to?"
Yang Ling was both surprised and apprehensive: "Are so many shares really going to be given to Zhang Fan? It doesn't make sense!"
"Who knows?"
Zhang Hongcheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "The old man has always been very willful; who knows what he's thinking?"
"But one thing is certain, he really values Zhang Fan!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to give Zhang Fan so many shares!"
Yang Ling nodded silently and sighed: "I still can't quite believe it; it feels like a dream!"
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing; it's too outrageous!"
