Chapter 60 Hou Xiangde Welcomes Personally
"Su Brothers, I’m really sorry, my elder brother didn’t know about you. For any offenses, I apologize to you here!" Hou Shilin said with a face full of remorse.
Su Yang’s expression remained calm as he watched Hou Shijun walk away and said softly, "It seems, with you taking over the family’s business, many in the family are not convinced."
Hou Shilin sighed and said in a low voice, "The family’s business was basically built by my second uncle. For so many years, my eldest uncle has been the pillar of the family, and my second uncle has been controlling the family’s financial lifeline without any change. As for our branch, as you know, my father has been mixing in the city for many years, so our status in the family is not high."
"Despite my hard work over the years, in the eyes of the family, I will never match up to the children of my eldest and second uncles. My elder brother has taken the official route and will succeed my eldest uncle’s position in the future. Both of my second uncle’s children, one joined the military and the other has been managing the family’s business since childhood and will also take over from my second uncle to manage the family’s business."
"These are all things that have been settled. As a result, I suddenly came out to take over all of the family’s businesses. Such a thing, not to mention the children of my second uncle, even my own elder brother and others are very unconvinced."
Su Yang looked at Hou Shilin and said calmly, "What can they do if they are not convinced? You are my friend Su Yang, and from now on, the Hou Family must also respect you above all!"
Hou Shilin was excited by Su Yang’s words and said softly, "Su Brothers, thank you."
After a pause, Hou Shilin added in a low voice, "I... I’m not thanking you just because I want to be respected in my family, I... I’m thankful... thankful that you treat me as your friend..."
"Because you treat me as a friend, that is why you are my friend," Su Yang said calmly.
Hou Shilin carefully savored Su Yang’s words and couldn’t help but smile. He had previously found Su Yang a bit too aloof, but now he realized that Su Yang was actually quite easy to get along with. The attitude you present to him is the attitude he’ll return to you.
"Let it go, let’s go inside the house for now," Hou Shilin said with a smile, just as he was about to move forward, but two men stepped forward to stop them.
