Seeing Vinton's expression, Essie took the opportunity and said, "actually, your sister has told me that if
you are appointed to the chairman of the company, she won't take out the Commission. After all, you
are the eldest son of the Xu family and she is a daughter. Even if she was appointed to be the
chairman, she can only take charge of the company on behalf of others. Sooner or later, the Xu's
Group will be handed over to you. But she didn't expect that it was your mother who wanted to be the
chairman, so she had to stop her. The Xu's Group belonged to Xu family and any chairman of it must
have the Xu family's last name. You see, in the ancient times, when Empress Wu became the emperor,
all the people of the Wu family came out to fight for the throne. If your mother takes the throne, the
members of her family will definitely join the board of directors. By then, you are not sure if you can be
the chairman easily. "
The more Vinton heard, the more he thought that Essie's words made sense. His mother just wanted to
change the Xu's Group into her possession.
Essie seized the chance and continued, "I don't think the reason why the chairman arranged your sister
to run the Xu's Group and didn't leave it to you deliberately was full of consideration. You must know
how powerful your mother is. She is your own mother. With your kindness and filial piety, you won't
have the heart to deal with her. Many people in the Xu's Group were supported by her. Even if you
became the chairman, the result for you can only be two. One is being kicked out, the other is being
her puppet. Mr. Xu must have known your situation. That's why he decided to leave your half-sister to
take care of your business and ask her to remove the obstacles on the road for you. " She sighed,
"your sister is just making clothes for you to get married."
As soon as she finished, Eva thumped the table. "Essie, you are right. Human beings will be unwilling
to accept friends or relatives if they are tempted by desire. Look at those imperial kings in ancient
times. They would kill their sons, wives and brothers without hesitation for the emperor's throne." She
then patted on Vinton's shoulder and said, "Vinton, your mother must have been carried away by
power. You should keep an eye on her. Don't let her get away with it."
Vinton nodded and said, "yes." Although Elizabeth was his biological mother, he didn't want to be a
puppet in front of her. More importantly, if her families got the shares of the company, they should leave
them to their own sons, not to him, their nephew.
Taking a sip of tea, Essie continued, "actually, I have a way. I can make you promise that you will have
nothing to worry about after you take over the position of the CEO."
"What's it?" Asked Vinton.
"Find out all your mother's accomplices and the people she planted in the Xu's Group. Then, as soon
as you take office, replace them all with your own people. You won't be afraid that your mother will
threaten you." Said Essie slowly.
"Good idea." Eva gave a thumbs up and said, "one can take a horse and one can make a bow. If the
new chairman takes charge of the company, he should hire his own people to take charge of it."
Vinton rubbed his chin, he agreed that it was a good idea, and it was not a hard thing for him to do.
"You are too smart, Essie. No wonder my sister can't beat you."
With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she said, "I didn't win either."
'You are not ruthless enough.' Vinton said in his heart. He knew that she had an abortion and it was all
due to Valery. So he couldn't blame Zac for teaching Valery a lesson. After all, she had gone too far.
After a moment of silence, Essie asked in a careless tone, "Mr. Xu, what is your blood type?"
"Type B."
"Negative?"
"I have an ordinary type B. I am not panda blood." Vinton smiled.
"Then why couldn't your sister's blood type is the type that could hardly be matched in the blood bank?"
Said Essie.
"My mommy said my grandpa has that kind of blood type, which is inherited from him with her bad
luck." Explained Vinton.
"No wonder." With her eyebrows slightly raised, Essie ate a grapes seed and stood up. "I have to go. I'll
come to visit Eva the other day and leave you some time to be alone with her. What's more, you are
the director of the personnel department after all. You can't just leave everything to your subordinate. If
you have time, come to the company more often to help your sister with the burden. "
He didn't want to go at all, as he felt headache when he managed the company affairs.
"Vinton, Essie is right. We don't know how your father is. You are the eldest child and you should take
your responsibility. Otherwise, when you become the chairman of the board, you will have to be
controlled by your mother and be her puppet. " Eva warned.
Vinton scratched her head and said, "fine, I'll listen to you. If you ask me to go, I'll go."
"Looks like my Eva is good at being a good wife, you should work harder, Mr. Xu." Essie teased.
"I won't come to her until the oil is full." He had put all his mind on Eva now and had no interest in other
women. He was just venting his sexual desire for other women.
Eva gave him a playful glance and said, "Mr. Xu, you haven't told me why you come to see me today?"
"I miss you, so I come here to see you." Vinton spoke frankly.
Essie waved to them, and opened the door to walk out. She just wanted to leave them alone.
As soon as the door was closed, Eva reached out her hand and gently stroked his head, as if he were
a child. "Vinton, as I told you, I'm just starting my career. I don't think it's a good idea to have a
boyfriend. Let's start with being friends first. And for you, you should take this opportunity to improve
your skills. I remember you used to have a girlfriend every week, but now you are dating different
women every three months. It means you are improving. "
As a girl who had dated numerous men and had seen countless beautiful men, she knew well what
men were thinking about. The best way to coax an adult like him was to make him happy.
"I was just playing with them." Explained Vinton.
"For me, it's not even a game." Eva's tone became resolute and decisive. "If I play with other men while
dating you, you won't take it, right?"
Vinton shrugged. For him, giving up women was as difficult as giving up smoking. But for the sake of
Eva, he was willing to have a try.
"Can you give me a little more time? Don't hang out with others. It's not okay to play with others."
"Don't worry. I won't play with others." Eva smiled and her eyes looked like the crescent moon.
At that time, Essie was on her way to Summer 100 Degree. When she got the call from Pana that there
was something happened to the construction site in Sea City, she went to the office in a hurry.
A group of gangsters came and made troubles in the construction site from time to time. They wanted
to get the protection fee and didn't allow it to go into work if they were refused.
"Don't they know that the construction site is under our control?" Essie frowned. There were many
gangs in the Xu family and they were well connected in the government too. It was very difficult for
them to overthrow the Xu family.
"I called Malcolm. He worried that someone deliberately sent them here to make trouble." Said Pana.
"Malcolm is currently engaged in business in the United States. He won't be able to come back in a
short time. Let's go to Sea City to see what's going on first." Essie said after thinking for a while.
The next evening, she and Pana arrived at Sea City by plane.
On the construction site, more than a dozen gangsters were carrying machetes and confronting with
the workers. Some workers were injured by them. One of them was seriously injured and was in the
hospital for emergency treatment.
"How dare you make trouble on the construction site of Hengyuan! Are you tired of living?" Essie was
so angry that she shouted. Everyone liked to bully the weak and they were afraid of the strong.
Therefore, she had to be aggressive.
A tall and thin man turned to them and greeted them, "hero, here comes a beauty."
"Little beauty, where did you come from? Why didn't I see you for the last two days?"
"Who do you think you are? You are not qualified to see me." Essie said coldly.
Sam's face darkened. "Who do you think you are? I will teach you a lesson later." Then he called two
men over and ordered, "take this woman to me. I will enjoy her." It was his first time to meet such a
beautiful girl. How could he not have fun with her.
Suddenly, Sam's head was held by a knife. "Bastard, let me do the test for you." Pana growled.
Sam's face paled with fear. He raised his hands and said, "sis, don't get excited. Let's calm down."
"Ask your men to put down the knives." Shouted Essie harshly.
"Put... Put down the knives. " Sam said in a trembling voice.
When the men behind him were about to put the knife on the ground, they heard a tall and thin voice:
"do you want to frighten us with a toy?"
"Do you want to have a try?"
"I'll... I'll give it a try. " He was new in the gang. He needed to do his job well so that he could be put in
an important position in the future.
It never occurred to Essie that there would be such a fearless weirdo. She and Pana looked at each
other, and as they were hesitating, Sam quickly ran to the tall thin man and hid himself.
"Cody, don't be afraid. They dare not to do it. It must be false." The tall and thin man looked more
determined now.
Pana stood in front of Essie to protect her. She had no problem in dealing with such a scoundrel. Essie
forced herself to calm down, but she was so worried that her hands and feet got cold.
"Pana, there are too many people here. Let's stop fighting and run." Essie whispered in her ear. There
was a lipstick gun given by Holy in her pocket. After she used it to the tall and thin man, they would
make the situation better and fled as soon as possible.
"Ask your men to put down the knives." Shouted Essie harshly.
"Put... Put down the knives. " Sam said in a trembling voice.
When the men behind him were about to put the knife on the ground, they heard a tall and thin voice:
"do you want to frighten us with a toy?"
"Do you want to have a try?"
"T'll... I'll give it a try. " He was new in the gang. He needed to do his job well so that he could be put in
an important position in the future.
It never occurred to Essie that there would be such a fearless weirdo. She and Pana looked at each
other, and as they were hesitating, Sam quickly ran to the tall thin man and hid himself.
"Cody, don't be afraid. They dare not to do it. It must be false." The tall and thin man looked more
