After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 233 - 159: Shortsighted

After Shi Tongyang left.

Shi Manchuan and Shi Wangyue continued to drink several cups of tea. Only when the tea lost its flavor did he ask, "What do you think of Yangyang’s plan?"

Shi Wangyue gave a very cold two-word response: "Short-sighted."

"Oh?" Shi Manchuan put down his cup with interest, "I’d like to hear your thoughts."

The second year Shi Wangyue went abroad, Lin Huayin couldn’t bear the silence of the large house and her inner fear, so she discussed with Shi Manchuan about moving out.

After a few days of consideration, Shi Manchuan rejected her proposal.

But he declared that if she insisted on not living in the old house, she could move out.

Lin Huayin quickly decided to move to her second son’s house.

In the years Shi Wangyue was abroad, he was the only one who continued to live there.

"The company’s performance isn’t good and needs reform, which is normal." Shi Wangyue said calmly, "But once a company launches such a high-pressure policy, it’s sending a message to employees—we need money, we’re short of money, decisions are made based on interests. Under this system, the management only plans three months ahead."

Shi Manchuan fell into deep thought, and after a long while, said slowly, "In recent years, many companies in the country have risen rapidly, and their decline is also fast."

When the trend is over and everything crashes down, as a leader who can no longer keep up with the times, he can’t turn the tide.

"Recently, many executives have left the company."

Shi Wangyue didn’t respond, just quietly drank his tea.

After a long silence, Shi Manchuan sighed, "I’m getting old."

...

Shi Group Headquarters.

When Shi Tongyang drove back to the company, the anger on his face scared the headquarters employees so much that no one dared to breathe deeply.

"Hello, Mr. Shi." Several pretty receptionists greeted him carefully.

He glanced over and noticed the flowers on their desks: "Why would the reception have chrysanthemums? It’s unlucky!"

"I’m sorry, Mr. Shi, I’ll replace them right away." The receptionist standing at the outermost bowed and apologized, then removed the purple cornflowers from the desk.

Once Shi Tongyang’s figure completely entered the exclusive manager’s elevator.

The receptionist holding the flowers had a face full of grievance and whispered to her nearby colleague, "Last week, Mr. Shi praised the purple cornflowers as very beautiful and romantic."

So fickle!

"Stop complaining, go change them quickly." Her colleague urged her softly, giving her arm a gentle nudge.

Another receptionist quickly lowered her head and sent a message in the company internal employee group:

[The Crown Prince just went upstairs, not in a good mood. Everyone, be careful!]

[Got it! Thanks!]

[Got it! Thanks!]

[...]

Many people working at Shi Group Headquarters knew that the Crown Prince of the Shi family wasn’t very competent and had a bad temper, lacking the demeanor of a corporate leader but greatly valuing the prestige of being one.

No matter his ability, as long as anyone within Shishi challenged his authority or appeared displeasing, you’d soon feel his personal attacks against you.

Of course, if you pleased him, rising rapidly within Shishi wasn’t impossible either.

Those who understood him a little could easily grasp his style: favoring sycophants, thrive if you follow me, be eliminated if you oppose me.

Since Shi Tongyang became the Group’s general manager, everyone still wanting to survive within Shishi has found ways to make the Crown Prince happy.

Shishi isn’t devoid of sensible people either.

Once, an executive leaving due to incompatible business philosophy with the Young Master Shi, sneered and told someone nearby, "It’s clear that this young man is inexperienced, perfectly dodging every supposed trait one should have."

...

Thirty-ninth floor, Chairman’s office of Shi Group.

"Dad, what do you think Grandpa means? He specially called me over to discuss things today and even had Shi Wangyue listen in." Shi Tongyang said with a sullen face, sitting on the sofa.

Shi Jinrong calmly tossed a handful of fish food into the large aquarium, "Wangyue is back?"

"Yeah, if Grandpa hadn’t asked me to come today, I wouldn’t have known he was back." Shi Tongyang was quite displeased.

"So what if he’s back." Shi Jinrong said indifferently.

"I feel Grandpa treats him differently now compared to before." This was what displeased him the most.

"I heard he made some money in the United States over the years." After feeding the fish, Shi Jinrong sat on the sofa beside his son.

"How much money can he make working for others?" Shi Tongyang scoffed, "Grandpa won’t really think that going to Harvard makes him exceptional, right?"

"Hey, you can’t put it like that." Shi Jinrong waved his hand dismissively, "Even if it’s minimal, it’s still meat. He did take some money with him when he went abroad." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Dad, you mean?" Shi Tongyang’s eyes lit up with joy.

...

Jincheng Airport.

The plane departing at nine o’clock in the morning, Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang arrived at the airport at seven thirty.

After waving goodbye to the driver from the Xia family, who brought them over, Ning Youguang asked Shi Wangyue beside her.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Anything." Shi Wangyue was always easygoing about food.

"Then let’s go to that one." Ning Youguang pointed to a business restaurant near the airport entrance.

"Okay." Shi Wangyue dragged their two suitcases and entered the restaurant with her.

Once inside, they discovered it was a restaurant served by robots, and it was quite crowded.

Ning Youguang was pondering where to sit when Shi Wangyue noticed a table by the window where guests were about to leave.

"The people at that table are getting up."

Ning Youguang chuckled, "Let’s head over."

Soon, a staff member cleaned up the table.

Once seated, Ning Youguang was captivated by the green mountains outside the window.

Shi Wangyue took out his phone to scan the code and took on the task of ordering, "Hong Kong-style fresh shrimp wonton noodles and coffee, is that okay?"

Ning Youguang, taking photos of the outside with her phone, replied, "That’s fine."

Soon, after she finished taking pictures, Ning Youguang’s attention was drawn to the scene unfolding at the next table.

"Excuse me, I’m delivering your meal."

"Excuse me, I’m delivering your meal."

"..."

A robot, about a meter tall with a cute baby voice, glided towards the next table with a meal tray. Before it reached the table, the gentleman seated there cheerfully stood up and gently took his meal from the robot.

The way he moved and his expression made it seem as if he was greeting a well-behaved child presenting him with something.

Yet, just five minutes earlier, Ning had watched him harshly criticize a waiter for not cleaning the table properly.

Suddenly, she found it amusing and actually chuckled out loud.

"What’s so funny?" Shi Wangyue asked warmly.

"I think people can be truly amusing at times." Ning Youguang remarked in reflection. 1314
