At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 427 - 407: Assimilation, Chen Tian’s Fury (Combined Chapter Part 2)

Chapter 427: Chapter 407: Assimilation, Chen Tian’s Fury (Combined Chapter Part 2)

After securing Guang Yuansheng in his seat, Kang Jia burst into an explanation.

The old expert Guang Yuansheng was completely baffled.

3D? Although he knew a bit about it, it was not his primary job. His familiarity stemmed from years of programming experience, which naturally extended to dabbling in industry-related areas.

He knew how to write simple 3D scripts, but not the kind Kang Jia described—he genuinely did not know how.

Guang Yuansheng looked to Lu Tu, seeking help.

If his memory served him right, Lu Tu had previously switched careers from being a modeler.

As expected, Lu Tu nodded, “I’ll take care of this. Old Guang hasn’t much experience with 3D content, but I worked as a modeler for a few years.”

“Though a modeler, I’ve also spent a long time studying 3D programming.”

Relieved by Lu Tu’s words, Guang Yuansheng finally relaxed, stood up, and gave his seat to Lu Tu.

“Then I’ll leave it to Mr. Lu.”

Kang Jia stood by with a light smile, creating a polite yet somewhat distant impression.

“Uh… um…”

Lu Tu’s expression stiffened, then he just nodded and started working on the dense blocks of code on the screen.

Like Kang Jia, he wasn’t much of a talker either.

Similarly, those who don’t talk much are generally considered honest.

Lu Tu had only a hint of mischief in mind, but it all but vanished at Kang Jia’s address of ‘teacher.’

Thus, the three experts from Shengda devoted their utmost efforts to help Ideal Paradise for an afternoon.

They even became three popular figures in the development department…

On the other side, as evening fell,

Chen Qiao, who had been busy at the company all day, returned home. As soon as he pushed the door open, he felt that something was off.

Usually, his daughter would wait at the door for his return, and his wife would be there to help him out of his suit jacket.

But today, his wife, daughter, and even his own father were sitting on the sofa.

Seeing him come in, they showed no reaction, treating him as if he were just air.

“I’m back.” He called out to the three of them, but his old man didn’t even turn his head to look at him.

Perplexed, Chen Qiao looked at his daughter, who shot him a cautious glance, while his wife wore an odd expression that seemed to urge him to hurry up and apologize.

Clearly, the strange atmosphere was because his old dad was angry.

Chen Qiao assumed his father was angry because he hadn’t eaten breakfast before leaving that morning, so he approached Chen Tian with a beaming smile, “Dad? What’s wrong? A little thing like that surely isn’t worth being angry about all day, right? I’ll take care of it next time. Don’t harm your health over it.”

As he approached, he directly apologized to his father.

This unexpected apology made Chen Tian, who had been indifferent on the couch, look at him in surprise.

“Oh? You know what you did wrong?”

Chen Tian said in amazement.

His tone suggested that Chen Qiao shouldn’t actually know what he had done wrong.

“I do know, I will definitely take care of my diet and health from now on!” Chen Qiao said with a wide smile, comfortably taking a seat next to Chen Tian.

He failed to notice that upon hearing his words, Chen Tian’s face darkened.

“And here I thought you actually understood what you did wrong! Is this what you come to me with? You still have the nerve to sit? Kneel down!”

Chen Tian, with the solemnity of a judge and brows tightly knit, let out a full-throated shout that startled Chen Qiao, prompting him to quickly get up.

But he did not kneel.

For he did not understand why he should kneel, what exactly he had done wrong, why his father would punish him this way?

“Dad, if it’s not about this morning, then what did I do wrong? What could possibly make you so furious?”

Chen Qiao communicated gently with his father, while his mind raced to figure out what he could have done wrong recently.

But even after going over the past week’s work, he could not figure out his mistake.

“Great! It seems I made the biggest mistake of my life handing over the chairman position of Shengda Group to you! You unfilial son, it’s one thing that you haven’t led the group forward in over a decade, but now you even want to ruin the Chen Family’s foundation?”

Chen Tian, exasperated, could only laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

He stood up, looking at the glittering chandelier on the ceiling worth hundreds of thousands. The crystals swayed gently, as if they could fall at any moment.

“…”

Chen Qiao was silent; he still didn’t know exactly what he had done wrong.

But his father’s words had truly broken his heart.

Indeed, Shengda Group had been on the decline in recent years, but during his tenure as Chairman over the past decade or so, he had been diligent and dedicated.

If someone else had been in his place, Shengda Group might have ceased to exist by now.

Yet, his father had actually said that passing the position to him was the most erroneous decision…

Heart-wrenching!

“Why? I don’t understand what I did wrong. It’s true that Shengda has been deteriorating, but if not for me, it would have been long gone!”

“Besides, although I’ve been sitting in the Chairman’s seat of the group all these years, most of the affairs were still arranged by you, have I ever talked back?”

“In the end, you even call me an unfilial son! I’d like to see, just what outrageous thing have I done that could hurt your son’s heart so much!”

After all, Chen Qiao was over forty years old; when facing his father, he no longer conceded as easily as he did when he was younger.

He stiffened his neck, determined to question until he understood the reasons.

“Old Chen… stop talking, just bow your head and admit your fault to dad!”

His wife urged from the side.

Chen Qiao, however, wasn’t listening at all.

Admit fault? He didn’t even know what he had done wrong, so how could he just admit fault?

“What did I do wrong? I have examined my conscience; everything I’ve done recently was for the sake of the group, to the point that I’ve even neglected my own health!”

Chen Tian was also getting angry, having come home exhausted from a day’s work and not yet having rested, only to be scolded by his own father.

Who could stand this?

“You!!!” Chen Tian got so worked up he could only shout one word before clutching his chest and being unable to catch his breath.

“Dad! Calm down. Old Chen, what exactly did he do wrong, just tell him directly! He will certainly correct it!”

Jin Enhui, Chen Qiao’s wife, seeing the old man clutching his chest and trembling, quickly switched to persuading the old man.

Chen Chuyin rushed over to support her grandfather.

“Grandpa, don’t be angry…” Chen Chuyin pursed her lips, speaking softly to soothe Chen Tian.

Seeing his well-behaved granddaughter, Chen Tian’s surging anger gradually subsided.

He went back to sit down on the sofa, then picked up a cup of water from the table and took a big gulp.

“You don’t know what you did wrong, which is normal, since what you’ve been doing isn’t anything reputable!”

Chen Tian looked at Chen Qiao with undisguised disappointment.

“I ask you, why did you send someone to infiltrate Gu Yu’s company, Ideal Paradise? Do you want to steal their trade secrets, or disrupt their key projects?”

Chen Tian fixed his eyes directly on his son, Chen Qiao.

He wanted to see what kind of explanation the lad would give him.

“…” Chen Qiao was first silent; “Dad, aren’t our standpoints different? I sent people to Ideal Paradise to prevent it from growing and creating a significant threat to Shengda Group in the future.”

“Dad, it’s what you taught me, when the group faces a crisis, make sure to eliminate the threat at its source before it grows.

I’m just preventing Ideal Paradise from becoming bigger and stronger, eventually turning into a competitor for Shengda.”

Chen Qiao didn’t kneel; instead, he stood even straighter.

He was not in the wrong!

Chen Tian frowned, looking at him. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “But Gu Yu will not be our enemy, and in the future, he may even become our greatest support.”

“To speak frankly, in my eyes, Shengda’s peak has already come to a stop. Without fresh blood, its potential is almost completely drained; Shengda is simply not worthy to be a rival for Ideal Paradise.”

Chen Tian spoke slowly.

“Shengda not worthy to be a rival for Ideal Paradise?” Chen Tian was bewildered.

The market value of Ideal Paradise wasn’t even one percent of what Shengda is now, was it?

“Dad, I think you’ve gotten old.”

After a moment of internal struggle, Chen Qiao uttered the words he had hesitated to say for years.
