Chapter 734: Chapter 734: I Give It To Whomever I Want_1

"What... What? You want me to take charge of the Wen Family?"

Wen Biyu was stunned, intending to ask her grandfather what he meant.

It was at this moment that Wen Tianning stood up. He coughed lightly, interrupting the successive presentations of the family business by the clan branch spokespersons.

"Hmm, that’s enough; I generally know about the family business situation."

"Everyone has done a very good job, thank you for your hard work."

He clapped his hands symbolically, then turned his gaze to his granddaughter, "In the past two years, I haven’t been feeling well, so I handed over part of the company’s management to Biyu."

"Since she was young, Biyu had a hard life. Her parents died in a car accident when she was just a teenager. At a young age, she forced herself to move on from the sorrow, got into a prestigious school, and after graduating, she returned to Wen Corporation. Under the care of various uncles, she managed the family business orderly and efficiently."

"During the time I was ill, Biyu traveled back and forth every day between the company and home. She had to take care of me while managing the business."

"Later on, she even managed to find Mister Mo, who cured the chronic illness I’ve had for many years."

The people familiar with Family Head Wen Tianning knew he wouldn’t mention Wen Biyu’s story for no reason; there must be more to come.

So, they all fell silent, awaiting the Family Head’s next words.

It turned out as expected!

After scanning the room, Wen Tianning cleared his throat once more, straightened up, and declared, "For the further development of the family, I’ve decided that as of today, I am officially retiring!"

Boom!

It was like a thunderbolt had struck the calm lake surface, and suddenly the place erupted into lively discussion, with nearly everyone talking among themselves.

After a full half minute, Wen Tianning pressed down his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Wen Zhanxiao and Wen Zhanyun wore surprised expressions. The former insincerely said, "Uncle, you’re in the prime of your life, how can you retire now?"

Wen Zhanyun also came forward and added, "Yes, the big ship of our Wen Family still needs Uncle at the helm to steer steadily, others won’t do."

"Zhanxiao, Zhanyun, both of you are very capable. I’m confident with the overseas business and Linglong Pavilion’s business in your hands."

Wen Tianning praised the two without changing his expression, but his next statement instantly froze their previously bright smiles, "I’ve made up my mind. From today onward, I’m officially retired, and the position of the Wen Family Head is to be formally taken over by Biyu!"

"What!!!"

The place burst into boisterous discussion once again, with almost everyone looking at Wen Tianning with disbelief.

They knew the Family Head was very fond of Wen Biyu, yet they had not expected him to actually transfer the position of Wen Family Head to her.

After all, the Wen Family ranked second among the Four Great Families of Jiangling City and had grown over the years to be on par with the Tang Family.

No one among the Four Great Families had ever seen a woman take over as Family Head.

Moreover, the Wen Family had outstanding candidates like Wen Zhanxiao and Wen Zhanyun.

The faces of Wen Zhanxiao and Wen Zhanyun turned ashen, both glaring at Wen Biyu with eyes filled with hatred!

The Wen Corporation was involved in a multitude of industries, holding direct and indirect stakes in over four hundred enterprises, with total assets exceeding 250 billion!

And now, this old man, Wen Tianning, was handing over such a vast family fortune to the young Wen Biyu?

Why her!

Wen Biyu shook her head in bitterness; even though she had guessed her grandfather’s intentions earlier, she was still scared when he announced in front of so many people that she would take over as the Wen Family Head.

Unable to contain himself, Wen Zhanxiao was the first to speak up, "Uncle, don’t you think this decision is a bit rash?"

"Biyu is indeed outstanding, but she is a girl after all, and she will have to marry someday. As members of the Wen Family, we can’t watch the corporation that was built with painstaking effort fall into outsiders’ hands."

Wen Zhanyun nodded in agreement, taking a stand with his brother, "Uncle, I also think this is inappropriate, please reconsider."

"Inappropriate? What’s inappropriate about it!"

Wen Tianning scoffed, speaking indifferently, "Wen Corporation was built from the ground up by me, and I’ll give it to whoever I want! What right do you have to question my decision?"

"As for what Zhanxiao mentioned about Biyu getting married, so what? Even if Biyu marries, she still carries the Wen Family’s blood in her veins, and nobody can change that!"

His voice paused, eyes disdainfully sweeping over the crowd as he continued, "Not to mention others, when it comes to abilities, none of you measures up to Biyu!"

"I trust that Biyu, in charge of the Wen Corporation, will not need many years to grow the enterprise even larger!"

In the hall, silence fell, nearly everyone holding their breath, not daring to speak aloud.

The position of the Family Head was of great importance, and they found it difficult to accept a junior taking on this role; still, since Wen Tianning single-handedly built the Wen Corporation, they had no right to interfere.

Old Master Wen looked around the room, continuing, "The position of Family Head, whether male or female, young or old, it doesn’t matter!"

"What’s important is that the person inheriting the position must have the capability and the responsibility!"

"In the Tang dynasty, there was Wu Zetian, an empress. Why can’t our Wen Family have a female Family Head?"

"In fact, transferring Wen Corporation to Biyu is not a whim but a result of careful consideration!"

"Although Biyu is young, she handles affairs maturely. Over these years, the industries she managed might not have exploded in growth but have shown a steady upward trend."

"Just consider the Wen Corporation’s pharmacies she oversees. There were just over twelve hundred before, and now they have surpassed three thousand, bringing in profits of over six billion a year for the company!"

"In contrast, Zhanxiao and Zhanyun, although you do business quite well, compared with the last two years, your profits have declined to some extent."

As the two were about to retort, Old Master Wen cut them off, "Granted, these last two years the costs of raw materials and labor have increased, but this is also related to your poor management."

"Additionally, regarding the accounts, I expect you to go back and check yourselves. It’s better if I don’t find any discrepancies!"

Hiss...

The mention of the accounts made both take a sharp intake of breath.

For the sake of grabbing profits, they had cooked the books more than a little over the years; if the old master discovered this, the consequences would be unthinkable.

At that moment, both lost any thought of contending for the position of Family Head, only wishing to go back to the company as soon as possible to deal with the accounting books.
