Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 564 - 398: Shi Yang’s Parents

The fine rain of Hai Province silently drifted towards the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, enveloping the entire building in a layer of misty water.

Inside the house, the maid held a fruit tray filled with seasonal fresh fruits and quietly walked to the door of Shi Yang's bedroom.

The intense voices of the conversation inside made her face slightly change, and she instinctively held her breath, her hand suspended in mid-air, standing outside the door not daring to knock.

A moment later, she took two steps back, quietly retreated downstairs on the red-brown steps of the wooden staircase.

Inside the room, the decor was warm and sweet yet did not lose the breath of refined art, but at this moment the atmosphere was heavy.

Shi Yang's face was leaning against a silk pillow, a white cashmere shawl casually draped over her shoulders.

The middle-aged couple standing opposite her exuded a sense of oppression that clashed with the room.

The middle-aged man, in a suit and leather shoes, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze solemn.

His temples were frosted, and his gestures carried the authority that had accumulated over the years.

The woman beside him wore a moon-white brocade cheongsam, outlining her plump figure, and her well-maintained face was filled with worry and helplessness at the moment.

"Yangyang."

The woman sighed softly, reaching out to stroke her daughter's hair: "This matter is crucial to the Shi Family. For so many years, when have your dad and I forced you? When you studied photography and opened a studio, did we ever say a single word against it?"

Her voice gradually deepened, "But this time is truly a rare opportunity. Just help mom and dad, try to understand our difficulties..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yang straightened up, her delicate eyebrows furrowed into two sharp arcs, her eyes full of displeasure:

"I said before, I will never be involved in the family business in my lifetime. You and Li Jing's group want to discuss cooperation, can't you do it yourself?

Why do you have to drag me into it? Besides, Li Jing and I are just ordinary friends. Where do you get so much camaraderie to help you make connections?!"

"Shi Yang!"

The desk was pounded heavily, causing the books on it to tremble.

The middle-aged man's face darkened, his gaze behind the lenses seemed capable of burning:

"Don't forget your surname is Shi. From the day you were born, the bloodline of the Shi Family destined you to have a relationship with the company.

We indulged your whims before, playing with photography and running a studio, but now you've graduated two years ago!"

He angrily raised his right hand: "This cooperation project with President Li is not only an opportunity for the Shi Family but also the best chance for you to enter the company management.

Originally, we were worried about not having a suitable reason to let you enter the company, but now as long as you can play a role in this project, you can logically start right from management level.

Get familiar with the company's operations step by step, so in the future you can be independent!"

Shi Yang frowned tightly, not afraid of the middle-aged man's reprimands, she retorted aloud:

"I don't need anything to be logical. I just want to stick to my photography studio, capturing the world through my lens! Why can't you respect my choice like grandpa does?"

Even though her parents didn't approve of her photography dreams, her grandpa was very fond of her and bought a studio for her upon graduation, supporting her to realize her dreams without hesitation.

She then grabbed the album by her pillow, flipping it through with a rustle, containing her works shot from various places: sunrises on the prairie, the azure of glaciers, and the warm smoke and fire of ordinary life...

"These photos, to me, are more valuable than any management position in the Shi Family company!"

"Then what about Shi's Corporation's future?!"

The middle-aged man grabbed the album violently and threw it on the bed, photos scattered like snowflakes, "If you don't participate in management, are you going to watch the company decline in others' hands? We've worked hard for so many years, not to let our efforts go to waste!"

The rain outside the window fell harder, thunder faintly accompanying, as if it were a soundtrack to this family storm.

Seeing the photos thrown away, Shi Yang's pupils contracted, stunned in place.

Then her eyes turned slightly red, biting her lip to hold back her grievance, bending to pick up the photos one by one, her fingertips brushing over the slightly crumpled photo paper, her voice low as if speaking to herself:

"I have never been the heir of Shi's Corporation, I am just myself. Only in the viewfinder can I find my true home." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Alright, alright, what's with the sudden temper after talking so well?"

Seeing the atmosphere plummet to freezing point, the middle-aged woman's eyes slightly changed, originally filled with urgency, now flashing a hint of panic.

She hurriedly raised her hand, the movement was slightly large, the jade bracelets on her wrist clinking clearly.

Then she walked between the two, trying to ease the tension, squeezing out a forced smile on her face:

"You two, father and daughter, always argue as soon as you talk about company business. You're not enemies, why always make it like this?"

Saying this, the middle-aged woman bent down slightly, her body slightly inconvenienced by the cheongsam she wore.

She carefully helped Shi Yang pick up the photos scattered on the ground, pausing her gaze for a moment on each one, seeming to see her daughter's dreams and persistence through them.

She stood up, sincerely advising: "Yangyang, don't blame your father for being angry. This time's project, the whole Hai Province is watching.

The Shi Family developed from your grandfather's hands, then to ours, eventually, it will end up in your hands no matter what you think in your heart, this is an unchangeable outcome.

Now, your dad and I can still work for another ten or twenty years, which is why we let you do what you like.

But after ten or twenty years, the fate of this company will be in your hands.
