Chapter 247: Parting Ways

Old Master Ji raised his head slightly, as if he did not take Ji Chen’s “small workshop” seriously at all.

Or rather, ever since the Ji Group had reached its current scale, Old Master Ji had always thought that it was a small workshop that could not compare to the Ji Group.

Hearing Old Master Ji’s words, Ji Chen was not surprised. Or rather, he felt that this was Old Master Ji’s true nature.

Pretending to be a kind grandfather in front of him was only because he had seen that Ji Gao really did not have the ability to manage the Ji Group well, so he deigned to show him some benevolence.

However, if he really thought so highly of him, Old Master Ji would not still hold the shares firmly in his hands and be unwilling to hand them over. In fact, he had even set up a trap in the contract.

Recalling the hidden clause of the contract, Ji Chen found it funny.

Previously, he just did not want to expose him. Now, there was no need to continue pretending.

“Grandpa, although my ‘small workshop’ is small, fortunately, the shares are in my hands. I’m the boss, but I’m just a person working for you in the Ji Group.”

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Old Master Ji’s arrogant expression seemed to freeze on his face.

After a few seconds, he slightly restrained the arrogance on his face and stared at Ji Chen with a pair of blurry eyes.

“Ji Chen, what do you mean?”

“Grandpa, since 1 can start a company, I can naturally understand the content of the contract. Although the contract you gave me is a little different from Dad’s, at the end of the day, the final owners.h.i.+p of the shares you gave me is still in your hands. As long as you’re willing, you can take back the shares in my hands at any time.” In fact, he did not even need his agreement.

Should he thank Old Master Ji for thinking highly of him and not write this clause clearly like the contract he gave Ji Gao, but rather going around in a large circle?

However, it was precisely because of this that he felt even more that Old Master Ji did not trust him.

Since Old Master Ji didn’t trust him and he didn’t want to continue staying in the Ji Group, they could just part ways.

Ji Chen looked at Old Master Ji expressionlessly.

Old Master Ji’s relaxed face moved and he looked at Ji Chen with an indescribable look in his eyes. However, no one could have mistaken the warning in the other party’s eyes.

After a while, Old Master Ji sneered.

“So what if the shares are in my hands? As long as I die, won’t these shares still be yours? Do you have to fall out with me at this time?”

There was a hint of threat in Old Master Ji’s tone, as if nothing good would come of Ji Chen leaving the Ji Group.

Hearing this, Ji Chen smiled for the first time today.

“Grandpa, look, you don’t even know what I want or why I want to leave.”

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at Old Master Ji, who already had a stooped back and had a head of white hair. While he sighed in his heart, he also felt a little regretful.

“Grandpa, I’ve already said my piece. From today onwards, 1 won’t go to the Ji Group anymore. Whether you take over again or hand the company over to Dad, it has nothing to do with me anymore.”

Ji Chen took another deep look at her. Ignoring Old Master Ji’s dangerous gaze and the butler who was hesitating to speak, he turned around and left the Ji family’s old mansion.

“Ji Chen! If you leave today, don’t blame me for targeting your small workshop! 1 want to see if you can stand against the Ji Group’s ban!”

Old Master Ji’s furious voice came from behind Ji Chen. Ji Chen’s footsteps paused, but he still left the Ji family’s old mansion without hesitation.

The butler looked at the furious Old Master Ji and sighed in his heart.

“Go! Call Ji Gao back! No matter where he is, if he doesn’t reach the Ji family’s old residence in an hour, there will never be a place for him in the Ji Group!”

The butler lowered his eyes and bowed slightly before hurriedly contacting Ji Gao.

Even he, who had always been by Old Master Ji’s side, did not dare to casually stay within the other party’s line of sight when he was at the peak of his fury.

On the other side, after Ji Chen walked out of the Ji family’s old mansion, he told Gu Xiao that he had already left the Ji Group.

As for what Gu Xiao would do in the future, he was not worried..
