“In the end, Uncle still couldn’t keep you and Qianqian.”

Because of Zhen Zhu’s incident, Zhen Yiping didn’t sleep much last night. He was really on tenterhooks and didn’t look very well.

However, at this moment, his expression was filled with sadness that was deeper than exhaustion. “1 originally thought…”

He sighed again. “Forget it, the Zhen family doesn’t have such luck.”

He looked at Shen Hanyu earnestly. “Take Qianqian to see Mother tonight. At least say goodbye to her.”

Shen Hanyu agreed. “How’s Zhen Chongming?”

“Last night, Tang Bochuan handed over the evidence to the police. Zhen Chongming has been taken away for investigation. The most important thing now is to get the company back on track.”

Zhen Yiping thought about the current situation in the group and was a little worried.

After Zhen Chongming’s ruckus, the people in the group were uncertain.

He wouldn’t be able to leave the hospital anytime soon. Xu Kejing had gone to the southwest, Tang Bochuan was injured, and now Shen Hanyu was going back to Ming City. No one in the company could take on the role.

“Uncle, you don’t have to worry about the company.”

Shen Hanyu looked out of the ward and said in a deep voice, “You can come in now.”

Zhen Zhu lowered her head and walked in slowly.

This was the first time Zhen Yiping had seen her since she was rescued last night.

When he found out that she was fine and only suffered some superficial injuries, he was relieved.

When he saw the gauze on his daughter’s forehead, the scratch on her arm, and the faint bruise on her face, his heart ached, but he still spoke in a serious tone.

“You’re injured. You’d better go back and recuperate.”

He frowned slightly. “I heard that you’ve been in Tang Bochuan’s ward. There will be someone to take care of him, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”

If it was in the past, Zhen Zhu would’ve retorted to this.

But today, she was unusually silent and even nodded meekly. “Alright, I’ll be back in a while.”

Zhen Yiping moved his lips. He wanted to say something more about Zhen Chongming to educate his daughter.

However, thinking about the shock she had suffered in the past two days, he decided to forget it.

“Uncle, do you still remember our conversation back then?”

Shen Hanyu returned to the main topic. “Zhen Zhu has been training in the company for so long, and her abilities are pretty obvious to everyone. Now that we are short of people, why don’t we let her try to manage things?”

Zhen Yiping’s expression was solemn. “It’s not that 1 don’t trust Zhen Zhu. It’s just that the group’s internal matters are too complicated, and the same goes for human relations. Moreover, she’s still too young. I’m afraid that she… Wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

“She’s not as fragile as you think. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived those two days when Zhen Chongming kidnapped her.”

Shen Hanyu said seriously, “I’ve already asked the doctor. Your body is already at the end of its rope. You can’t be discharged from the hospital within a short time. Even if you were permitted to leave in the future, you can’t work so hard anymore.”

His tone was calm. “You should know very well that Zhen Zhu is the most suitable candidate right now.”

Zhen Yiping pondered for a long time, and his expression finally changed.

Zhen Zhu’s performance in the company had indeed exceeded his expectations.

Shen Hanyu had once said that she had great potential. If she was willing, she would definitely become Zhen Group’s most qualified successor.

Although Zhen Yiping could appoint someone else to take his place, the balance within the group, especially among the higher-ups, was very fragile.

Whoever he appointed might break this balance and cause new disputes.

Shen Hanyu’s judgment was right. Zhen Zhu was the most suitable candidate.

Her abilities might need to be further improved, but her temperament and status were more than enough.

She was the Zhen family’s Young Miss, Zhen Yiping’s eldest daughter. It was only natural that she would appear as the heir in this critical moment.

Most importantly, even though she had a conflict with him, she still chose to stand on the company’s side at the decisive point. This alone was enough for Zhen Yiping to trust her.

However, this was a major event that concerned the group, and it was also related to her future.

“Being Zhen Group’s future heir isn’t an easy task.”

“What do you think?” Zhen Yiping looked at Zhen Zhu.

“I have an agreement with Cousin. If 1 lose, 1 naturally have to keep my word. Therefore, I will do my best to fulfill my promise.”

She looked up and met Zhen Yiping’s gaze calmly. “As long as you don’t think that I’m unpresentable as a daughter, 1’11 listen to your arrangements.”

This was the first time she had said the word “daughter” to Zhen Yiping in many years.

Zhen Yiping’s heart was surging. “You… Have you found out?”

“Yes, I am. I’ve wronged you all these years.”

Zhen Zhu felt a little uncomfortable. The words that she had thought of long ago lingered in her mouth for a long time. It was as if her mouth was burning, but she could not say them out loud.

However, she finally mustered up the courage and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Dad.”

Zhen Yiping couldn’t help but tear up when he heard the word he hadn’t heard in so long, “Dad”.

He once loved Zhen Zhu’s mother and his two daughters deeply.

Knowing that Zhen Zhen wasn’t his own flesh and blood, he was neither disappointed nor angry.

He would never let Zhen Zhen know this fact, but deep in his heart, he could never act as calmly as before.

This was a part of human nature, and he was no exception.

Moreover, Zhen Zhu was his only blood daughter.

How could he not be excited when he could finally resolve the past with her?

That afternoon, Shen Hanyu accompanied Zhen Zhu to Zhen Group to announce her true identity and declare her as successor to the group’s chairman seat.

Apart from a few higher-ups in the company, most people didn’t know that she was Zhen Yiping’s daughter.

The shock brought by this news was unsurprising.

However, Shen Hanyu’s return and personal visit to the company instantly calmed down the group’s anxious mood, which was beneficial to her inauguration.

On the other hand, Zhen Zhu had previously joined as an ordinary employee and had gotten along well with many middle and low-level employees. As a result, she received many people’s support and overall good reactions.

In the future, what she needed to do was to gain recognition from everyone in the company through her own efforts and establish her prestige step by step.

Of course, this was destined to be a long process.

In the evening, Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian came to the Zhen family’s house to bid farewell to Old Lady Zhen, Zhen Zhu following along with them.

To their surprise, Zhen Yishu and her son, Li Zhongjin, were also there. They were discussing with the old lady.

The old lady looked very displeased. “Even at this time, the Li family is trying to take advantage of others.”

“Mom, you’re going too far. After all, I’m a member of the Zhen family too. How can 1 not consider our family?”

The one who spoke was Zhen Yishu. “Zhen Chongming has caused such a ruckus. Everyone in the company is in a state of panic, and there’s no one in charge right now. Zhongjn has gone to the company before, so he can at least lend a hand…”

“Do you really think that Zhongjin can take charge?”

Old Lady Zhen said coldly, “It’s not that I want to say this, but your son should know what kind of person he is..”
