His Clan's Crisis
"Oh?" Xu Anting looked at her.
"You seem to have changed a lot in the past year. Professor Xu, you're a popular figure in the academic world. Why did you suddenly resign as a professor and inherit the An family? Wasn't Sister An here? Also, I heard … I heard that you're married … "
Also, why did he have to fight for He Clan's resources?
Qiao Qiao couldn't bring herself to ask the last question. She carefully observed Xu Anting's expression.
"My sister is indeed a strong woman. With her around, I really don't have much to do. It doesn't matter if I'm a professor at school, but she's a woman after all and will fall in love with other men. For brother-in-law, she's willing to become a housewife. I respect her wishes. Moreover, she's very happy now. I feel that I made the right decision not to object at that time."
"As for my second sister, she's an artist. She doesn't know anything about the company, and I don't want to force her to do something she doesn't like. There's no one to inherit the company, so naturally, I, the youngest son, have to take over. I got married because my father is sick. He really wants to see his grandson before he dies. I don't want him to have any regrets … Of course, I'm very satisfied with my wife. She's gentle and virtuous, a very good woman. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll treat her with respect and live like this for the rest of my life."
Xu Anting spoke very calmly.
This was clearly a matter that was closely related to him, but Qiao Qiao felt that he was telling someone else's story, as if he had nothing to do with it.
For no reason, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt suffocated.
After hearing Xu Anting's story, Qiao Qiao felt that the clean man who was once clean and detached from the world had disappeared. Although Xu Anting's appearance did not change, his mentality had changed. He used to only care about academics, but now he had to think about many things. He had to take care of his family and run the family business. He was shouldering heavy responsibilities and was no longer pure.
The immortal-like man had also compromised with the secular world.
The atmosphere was heavy, but Xu Anting broke the silence. He smiled and said, "You didn't come to see me today just to ask about this, right?"
Qiao Qiao paused and looked at her in shock.
Xu Anting continued to smile. "You should have heard a lot about me from your husband. Don't you want to know why the Xu family wants to steal He Clan's business?"
His master was his master after all.
Xu Anting could roughly guess what Qiao Qiao was thinking.
Being seen through by Xu Anting, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She rubbed her nose and asked, "Was I that obvious?"
Xu Anting took a sip of the black coffee, but he was still not used to the bitterness. He couldn't help but frown, but soon relaxed. "You've been in J Country for a long time, so it's normal that you don't know much about A Country. Do you know that the presidential election is coming up?"
"… Yeah."
He Shaochen had been busy with this matter since he came back.
"Recently, He Clan's situation in A Country is not very clear. It has something to do with the election this time. The candidate with the highest popularity among the people has proposed a bill that is specifically targeted at He Clan, who has monopolized more than half of A Country. They are very wary of He Clan's power and hope that He Clan will make concessions and give away their excessive resources to support other companies. The purpose is to weaken He Clan's influence in A Country."
"There's such a thing?"
Qiao Qiao's face darkened.
If this bill was confirmed, it would definitely be a heavy blow to He Clan. He Shaochen had never mentioned such a serious matter to her before. Every time he came back, he would be calm and collected. He actually wanted to hide it from her again!
"Yeah." Xu Anting nodded. "Moreover, besides He Clan, this matter is extremely beneficial to almost all the companies. It's only natural that it would receive everyone's support. After this bill was proposed, the candidate's popularity soared and has completely overshadowed the other candidates."
In every presidential election, in order to gain the support of the people, the higher-ups would always propose some changes to attract the attention of the people. And this time, they actually targeted He Clan!
"Regarding this matter, I'm very sorry, but I also support that candidate. He Clan has been the dominant power for too long. The monopoly that has lasted for hundreds of years has made their power stronger and stronger. This time, Mr. He played a big role in the internal strife of the J Country's royal family. A family can actually influence a royal family. How terrifying is this? This matter has probably caused the higher-ups to reflect and have made them even more determined to weaken He Clan. "
"Joe Qiao, He Clan's prosperity is a good thing, but when it reaches its peak, it will eventually decline. You should also understand the principle of a tall tree attracting the wind. If He Clan continues to be so dominant, sooner or later, they will be eradicated …"

Xu Anting's words were still echoing in Qiao Qiao's mind.
She didn't even know how she returned to Family He.
The moment He Shaochen came back, it was as if he had eaten gunpowder. He went upstairs and gritted his teeth as he said, "Joe Qiao, you untrustworthy woman! Have the things you promised me been eaten by dogs? I said that you're not allowed to meet Mr. Xu. You actually went to meet him secretly behind my back! "
When Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen come back, she immediately grabbed his clothes. "Shaochen, is He Clan in danger?"
He Shaochen's expression froze. "What did Mr. Xu say to you?"
"Now, the most popular presidential candidate has proposed a bill that wants He Clan to allocate exclusive resources to support other companies. He wants to weaken He Clan, right? What are you going to do? "
"I'll deal with this matter. You don't have to worry."
He Shaochen didn't have time to be angry with Qiao Qiao. He gently patted Qiao Qiao's back, his tone much gentler.
"But I'm worried. I just saw it on the Internet. Everyone is very supportive of that person. What are you going to do now?"
After returning to Family He, Qiao Qiao browsed the relevant information on the Internet. The comments were actually one-sided.
It seemed that many people had been jealous of He Clan's glory for a long time.
They were hoping that He Clan would be in trouble.
"No matter what, I'm still a member of the royal family of J Country. I still have some connections. I can help. Why don't we ask Ravel to help?" Qiao Qiao suggested, but her heart was in a mess.
"Qiao Qiao, calm down first."
He Shaochen's voice became a little louder, and Qiao Qiao was stunned.
She bit her lip, and her eyes were red. "I was very worried after hearing from Professor Xu, but you pretend that nothing happened every day. Am I that useless?"
Even now, he still refused to let her share the burden?
He Shaochen sighed and pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms. "It's not that you're useless. It's just that you really don't have to worry about this matter."
"Why?"
Qiao Qiao was suspicious. She felt that He Shaochen was still comforting her.
