“Dr. Chen, did you just say that all my family’s assets would be taken by him? What does that mean?”

“Could it be that my parents have a child outside?”

“Did they plan to give him all the family business?”

After regaining his senses, [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] only heard Chen Yu’s last sentence.

He was frightened, and his heart was beating wildly.

After working as an ordinary white-collar worker for three years in his company, he knew a lot about the business projects and the company’s overall market value.

The total market value of his company was in the tens of billions.

It was not only the most prominent local real estate corporation; at the same time, it also took on a large number of municipal projects.

When he heard that he was the actual heir to the company and that his parents had been pretending to be poor and lying to him to fix his attitude, his heart turned cold, but he was also secretly happy.

He then heard that his family’s property might very well become someone else’s.

His heart turned cold again.

“You didn’t hear a single word 1 said just now.”

“Forget it. I’ll repeat myself.”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly.

He could understand [I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s reaction.

Anyone else would probably be shocked by this.

“Do you still remember what 1 told you before?”

“The reason the higher-ups at your company don’t treat you well isn’t because your interpersonal skills are bad, nor is it because you’re not suitable to deal with people.”

“They targeted you because they were instructed by your cousin.”

“I remember, I remember.”

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?] nodded.

“In order not to let me find out the truth, my parents found a distant relative to be the person in charge of the company.”

“I understand now!”

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?] exclaimed, “Dr. Chen, you did say that in two years, he will lose everything he has.”

“If I’m guessing it correctly, will my parents tell me the truth in two years?”

“They will let me manage the company and don’t need him anymore.”

Chen Yu nodded and confirmed [I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s guess.

“That is indeed the case.”

After receiving Chen Yu’s confirmation, [I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s imagination ran wild.

He began playing his situation out following the family’s drama show he had watched.

“Although my cousin is the temporary person in charge, he doesn’t have much power in his hands.”

“But no matter what, he bears the title of our company’s president.”

“I’m sure he’s always being complimented and living in a glory that he’s never enjoyed before.”

“Once 1 become the new person in charge of the group, he will immediately fall from grace.”

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?] knew this was the situation.

While his distant cousin couldn’t openly target him, he could secretly signal the higher-ups to give him the cold treatment.

He would force [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] to leave the company.

In this way, his parents would definitely feel that he was useless.

This way, they would continue to let his cousin manage the company.

“I have to say,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “Your parents’ nurturing of you was quite successful.”

“Not only did you get rid of your bad habit of being a good-for-nothing, but you also learned to be cautious and diligent.”

“The way you look at problems and analyze them is also far better than ordinary people.”

“You’re right about the situation.”

“Your cousin has that exact idea.”

“But your cousin never imagined that the goo-for-nothing and hot-tempered you back then would become so honest now,” said Chen Yu.

“Even though you’ve been subjected to boycotting in your workplace and are ignored by basically everyone, you still persevered.”

“For the past three years, while every day felt like a year to you, your cousin was worrying his hair away.”

Immediately after, Chen Yu began to talk about what his parents had done for him.

After graduating from university, his parents made meticulous arrangements for their son’s future.

They would use the on-campus job fair to recruit him for their own company.

They wanted their son to start from the bottom and familiarize himself with the company’s business in every aspect.

When [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] turned 30, his parents would lay their cards on the table.

Apart from his parents, the only one who knew about this plan was [I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s cousin.

His parents ordered his cousin to have nothing to do with [I’m Proud Of It, So What?], and he was also not allowed to leak any information.

He was supposed to be strictly training [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] to be the next in charge.

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s cousin agreed verbally, but he began having some thoughts.

The following situation played out as what [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] had experienced.

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s cousin could not bear to part with everything he had now.

Under his strict requirements, he hinted at his subordinates that they must boycott [I’m Proud Of It, So What?].

However, he did not dare to go too far as he feared that [I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s parents would find out.

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s days were miserable, but his cousin was ten times more miserable than him.

If it were anyone else who had encountered such cold treatment, they would definitely choose to leave.

Even if they didn’t resign, they would still be traumatized.

However, [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] managed to hold on.

There were still over two years before [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] turned thirty.

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s cousin was getting increasingly worried by the day.

He was worried to the point that he couldn’t eat or sleep and took sleeping pills in large quantities.

His head was also getting balder by the day.

After hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, [I’m Proud Of It, So What?] snappily said, “Serves his right! When 1 become the person in charge of the company, 1’11 fire him first!”

“I’ll go to my parents in a while and tell them about this.”

“By the way, Dr. Chen, if he can’t chase me away with cold treatment, what will he do to get my parents’ inheritance?”

“The girl who expressed goodwill to you is actually your cousin’s subordinate,” Chen Yu explained.

“The colleague who tried dragging you out of the country was also sent by your cousin.”

“He knew that the possibility of using the cold treatment to chase you out of the company was slim, so he changed his tactics.”

“Once you go to her house for dinner, you will be drugged and knocked out. I don’t need to tell you what will happen next.”

“When you wake up, you will appear at the police station.”

“Your cousin was so pissed that he almost fainted when he found out that you rejected the invitation of such a beautiful girl time and time again.”

“His first plan failed, so he came up with another one.”

“He bribed a colleague you have a good relationship with to first pull you out of the city and then think of a way to make you fall back into your bad habits.”

“If you hadn’t called in today, your cousin would have kept bombarding you with his schemes and eventually ruined your reputation.”

“Once you’re ruined, your parents will definitely be extremely disappointed in you. The family property will then be his.”

“You will have nothing—both money and life.”

“That bastard!”

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?]’s face turned green.

He wished he could strangle that distant cousin he hadn’t even met.

Being honest didn’t mean he was stupid.

“Dr. Chen, thank you for telling me this. I’m going to find my parents immediately and expose his conspiracy.”

“You don’t have to expose him, as your parents know about this.”

“What?!”

[I’m Proud Of It, So What?], who was about to pay for this consultation and end the call, was stunned.

What was going on?

Since his parents knew about it, why did they still allow his cousin to bully him?
