Chapter 588: Does Your Opinion Matter?
We just finished eating a table full of food, and now we have to eat ten more tables?
Are there eleven tables for every meal?
So, in one day, both adults and children together have to eat over thirty tables?
Alexander's mouth dropped open in astonishment, luckily he was born into his family!
If he were born into a poor family, how could he survive?
"So, are we going to cook ten more tables of food then?" the head chef asked Alexander.
"More than that!" Alexander patted his chest, "Don't we adults get to eat?"
The chefs immediately got busy, some picking vegetables, some rinsing rice, and others placing orders for various ingredients.
"Hey, consider me too!" the blue-spotted snake extended its head and said to the chef who was placing the food order, "Today, I want to have chicken, ten should be enough!"
"Ten for one meal?" the chef asked.
"Yes, but I only eat one meal a day, isn't that thrifty enough!" the blue-spotted snake chuckled.
Everyone: Truly thrifty!
Ten chickens would be enough for an ordinary family for ten days!
"Little brother, don't worry about the cost!" Owen walked over with a sympathetic expression, "If you don't have enough money, just let your brother know. The earnings from my cinema have been good lately."
"How much money can a cinema make? And aren't you keeping it for yourself..." Alexander said halfway and quickly stopped.
Damn it, what did he just say?
He noticed that Owen's eyes immediately dimmed, so he quickly said, "Brother, there's something I forgot to tell you. You are the eldest son of the Ashford family, the preferred successor for the Ashford family. It's only right that you manage the family business. Starting tomorrow, you should come with me to the company and familiarize yourself with the operations. Once you can handle it on your own, the power of the Ashford family will be handed over to you."
"Really, handed over to me?" Owen couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true. You are my brother, and the power of the Ashford family should belong to you." Alexander said sincerely.
After a brief silence, Owen smiled and said, "If you say so, that's enough for me. I don't want to work so hard, otherwise I won't have time to accompany Bluey!"
"But I also want to spend time with my wife and children!" Alexander enthusiastically took Owen's hand, "Big brother, this position of power has always been yours, you should take over soon!"
"No need, I didn't go to school, I don't understand!" Owen directly refused.
"You didn't go to school?" Alexander felt a headache coming on.
"Didn't I help you with the Magic Pearl? I've passed on all the knowledge I have to you! Technically, you can take over the company now, I just thought you might not be familiar with it, so I decided to accompany you for a few days."
"No need, I don't want to go!" Owen showed no interest.
Regardless of whether he went to the company or not, he would still have half of the Ashford family's wealth, he understood that much!
"Big
"Brother!" Alexander proposed amiably, "How about we take turns on duty? You take charge for the first half of the year, and I'll take charge for the second half!"
Owen pondered for a moment, "Half a year is too short, how about every three years, or even five years!"
"Really?" Alexander was ecstatic, so he agreed to let his brother take the helm for the first few years.
He couldn't wait to go home now and spoil his wife while taking care of the children.
After three to five years, when all the 18 children were in elementary school, he would have more free time to fully devote himself to his career.
He decisively said, "Brother, let's switch roles every five years starting from now, so for the first five years..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Owen interrupted him.
"Alright, let's do that. Starting from now, you take charge for the first five years and I'll take charge for the next five!"
Alexander, "..."
Was this what he meant?
He didn't even have a chance to finish his sentence!
"Brother, you misunderstood me, what I meant was..."
"Is what you meant important?" Owen patted his chest, "I am the older brother, I have the final say!"
