The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Chapter 148 - Cancelling the dividend

Chapter 148: 148: Cancelling the dividend

Since they had already lived 25 years of a wealthy and influential life, the entire family refused to return to the days where they used to live in poverty.

Even though his children and grandchildren were already influential, powerful figures, Zhan Renhou had suddenly mentioned the oath.

‘Big brother, I’m sorry. It is my fault! I didn’t correctly educate Yihe. Please don’t be angry!”

Zhan Renmian swallowed his pride and embarra.s.sment, immediately apologizing in front of the entire crowd.

“What’s the use in apologizing? Why do we need the police force if an apology is useful? Since you wasted 3 of those precious pills, I will cut away 3% of your dividend this year,” Master Zhan declared, making the decision out of anger.

Zhan Renmian’s family’s faces immediately turned dark when they heard this decision.

They only had 5% of shares in the Op Corporates. If 3% of them were taken away, this meant that they only had 2% left!

This was something that had never happened before.

As the Op Corporate developed and grew, even if they only had 5%, it was already much more than all the other corporations.

With this annual 5% dividend, they would have sufficient money to run their own companies and to build up their own corporates.

At this moment, their companies needed capital to grow and develop.

Previously, Zhan Renmian had planned on asking for an additional 15% from his elder brother, since Zhan Lichuan was now a quadriplegic and Zhan Renmian had served them loyally for the past decades.

Now that Master Zhan had reduced it to only 2%, how would it be enough to split amongst all of them in the family? How would they live their lives? How could their companies expand with such little capital?

Zhan Renmian, as well as both his sons, Zhan Junqi and Zhan Junheng, had experienced how cruel their uncle was. They had seen how their uncle never treated their father as a brother, only taking him in as a loyal ‘dog,’ which was why they didn’t dare say anything.

However, the younger generations had not seen it, and were not aware of it either.

Zhan Yihe was feeling extremely wronged due to Master Zhan’s decision, left speechless.

As for Zhan Kunyu, who was the eldest grandson in their family, he couldn’t help but speak back to his granduncle when he realized that his benefits would be hampered as well.

“Granduncle, this may have been partly Yihe’s fault, but isn’t this Jing Qian’s fault as well? Since she was aware that these pills were extremely important to Ah Chuan, why didn’t she protect them with her life when they were s.n.a.t.c.hed away from her?”

Jing Qian, who was in an extremely good mood after causing chaos in the second Zhan family, suddenly spoke up.

“Why should I protect these pills with my life?”

“Why?!” Zhan Qingyou was stunned when he heard Jing Qian question, dumbfoundedly answering Jing Qian’s question. “Because Ah Chuan is your husband! As his wife, shouldn’t you be protecting Ah Chuan, even if it means risking your life?”

“I’m just a woman that the Zhan family bought to bring good luck. Grandfather only told me to dedicate myself to my marriage and play my role as a lucky mascot. When did he say that I had to dedicate my life? Are you the one who said it? Who are you?”

Zhan Qingyou became extremely triggered by what she said, and immediately took the chance to trample on Jing Qian.

“Granduncle, look at what she’s saying! Perhaps this was all a show. She has purposely allowed Yihe to s.n.a.t.c.h the pills from her as revenge. I heard of how her manager had taken away her role as the first female role and Jing Qian went looking for Yihe. Since it had already been confirmed, and in order to make sure that the company didn’t suffer any losses, Yihe wasn’t able to forcefully help Jing Qian in getting her role back, which is why she hated Yihe and decided to frame her.”

As he was challenged, Master Zhan stood firmly with his granddaughter-in-law.
