Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Yes, these are indeed part of Project Dragon Shield, including the Fuxi quantum communication system."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said.

Xiao Huai'an frowned and said, "So you're saying that the Dragon Shield Project had already begun before you returned from the army?"

Xiao Zhan nodded again but didn't say anything. There are some things that you can't say even to your closest friends and family.

Xiao Huai'an, of course, knew the rules and discipline. Seeing that Xiao Zhan was unwilling to say more, he said to Uncle Yu, "Notify the shareholders to hold a meeting of all shareholders in one hour. All shareholders must attend."

Uncle Yu: "Okay, I'll pass the message on right away."

Then he bent down to pick up the pistol parts that Xiao Zhan had disassembled, saying as he did so, "Xiao Zhan, your gun disassembly technique seems to be much faster than before."

Xiao Zhan: "Uncle Yu, I learned all of these skills in the army. I've already regressed in the few months since I came back."

Uncle Yu left after collecting the parts…

Xiao Huai'an looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "You will also attend the shareholders' meeting. I own 51% of the shares in the Xiao Group, and I will transfer them all to you. You will then immediately take over as chairman."

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you can't transfer all the shares to me. Actually, what I want is not the shares, but the position of chairman of the Xiao Group. This will facilitate the implementation of the Dragon Shield Plan. You keep 11% of the shares and give me 40% so that I can become the largest shareholder of the company."

Xiao Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "I won't keep any shares. If I'm going to withdraw, I'll withdraw completely. I think I'll give the 11% shares to Huanhuan. I think Huanhuan has a lot of business talent. She revived the tourism company that was on the verge of collapse, and now she's taken over the cosmetics company. I've been watching her closely. She does everything beautifully. She has a great business mind and, most importantly, her thinking is forward-thinking and keeps up with the times. This way, you two can work together to own 51% of the company and hold controlling shares forever. You two can work together to build the Xiao Group into a world-class enterprise and a top-notch brand."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're not leaving any shares at all?"

"Why!"

Xiao Huai'an sighed and said, "I'm getting old, and it's time to hand over the reins to you young people. Your father has never had any interest in business; he just focuses on his research. That's fine. You're taking on multiple roles, and I feel at ease having Huanhuan as your assistant."

"After I retire without any compensation, it will be easier for you to explain to the outside world and avoid a lot of trouble. I know that I have indeed made many mistakes. Perhaps my personality is too stubborn. In order to achieve my own goals, I ended up hurting many innocent people. No matter what, I will not shirk my responsibility. I will use the rest of my life to make up for the sins I have committed."

Xiao Zhan: "Grandpa, it's not too late for you to come to your senses now."

As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost.

Hsiao Huai-an: "So after I retire, I've decided to establish a charitable foundation to help children who have dropped out of school due to poverty, as well as children from impoverished families who are sick but don't have the money for treatment."

Xiao Zhan: "I think it's a good idea. I will fully support you."

"Knock knock".

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The two looked up and saw Qin Huanhuan standing there with a smile on her face.

When Xiao Huai'an saw his granddaughter-in-law arrive, he exclaimed happily, "Huanhuan's here! Come in quickly, why are you knocking on the door when you're in your own home?"

That's what they say, but Xiao Huai'an just likes Qin Huanhuan's perfect sense of boundaries.

Therefore, even the closest family members should maintain a certain sense of boundaries in daily life, and should also be mindful of the distance between people.

Qin Huanhuan glanced at Xiao Zhan and then said, "Grandpa, you don't look well. Did Xiao Zhan upset you?"

Xiao Huai'an: "We're talking business right now."

Qin Huanhuan stepped forward to pour tea for Xiao Huai'an, then picked up the teacup and handed it to him with both hands, saying, "Grandpa, please have some tea. If Xiao Zhan has done anything wrong, please forgive him."

Then she went behind the sofa to massage Xiao Huai'an's shoulders and said, "Grandpa, if Xiao Zhan dares to make you angry, I'll not let him sleep in bed for three days."

When Xiao Zhan heard that he wouldn't be allowed to sleep in bed for three days, he thought it meant he would have to be a monk for three days, eating vegetarian food every day and not being able to cuddle with Qin Huanhuan while sleeping...

So he called out, "Old man, tell me the truth, did I do anything to upset you?"

Xiao Huai'an was still thinking about holding his great-grandson soon, so he quickly said, "Huanhuan, this isn't Xiao Zhan's fault. You can't stop him from going to bed with you. Grandpa is still thinking about holding his great-grandson soon."

Qin Huanhuan's pretty face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment...

Xiao Zhan said with a smile, "Grandpa, I will work hard and make sure you can hold your great-grandson as soon as possible."

Xiao Huai'an gave Xiao Zhan a thumbs up and said, "That's my good grandson."

Qin Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhan and said angrily, "I don't want to have children right now. If you want to, go have them yourself."

Xiao Zhan was immediately speechless, blinked and said, "I'd like to give birth myself, but unfortunately I don't have that ability."

Qin Huanhuan: "Then what makes you think you can guarantee this to Grandpa?"

Xiao Zhan: "..."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan had been thwarted, Qin Huanhuan decided to stop while she was ahead and asked, "Why did you call me to the Xiao family compound?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huai'an immediately realized something and looked at Xiao Zhan, asking, "That's right, I just said I would transfer the shares to Huanhuan, and Huanhuan came. It turns out you had already anticipated that I would do this and called Huanhuan over in advance."

Xiao Zhan didn't hide anything and said, "That's only one of the reasons. The main reason is that I knew Huanhuan was with Deng Zhi and I was afraid she would be taken advantage of, so I called her over."

Qin Huanhuan was completely confused and asked, "Grandpa, what shares are you giving me?"

Xiao Huai'an: "It's shares in the Xiao Group."

He then asked, "What does Deng Zhi want with you?"

Qin Huanhuan asked in surprise, "Why are the shares of the Xiao Group being transferred to me? I already have shares in the travel company and the cosmetics company. I can't accept shares in the parent company as well."

To be honest, Qin Huanhuan is not a greedy person, and she is already very satisfied with her current life.

Qin Huanhuan paused and then said, "Grandpa, it wasn't Deng Zhi who asked me to come, but Deng Ying who invited me to a dinner party. There happened to be a business partner there, so I thought I'd go see if I could make some connections."

So Qin Huanhuan recounted what had happened at the Anxiang Tea Restaurant.

Finally, she asked, "Honey, how did you know I was with Yuan Fangfang, Deng Ying, and Deng Zhi?"

Xiao Zhan told the truth: "Zhang Jie reported to me that Deng Zhi was here. I was afraid you might have unknowingly fallen into a trap set by Deng Zhi. His schemes are very sophisticated, so I called you."

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "I realized that I had indeed been tricked by Deng Ying. She invited me to a dinner party under the pretense of introducing me to Yuan Fangfang, but her real intention was not what she wanted. Luckily, your call came in time, and I immediately made my escape."

"Husband, when Yuan Fangfang saw me off before I left, she quietly told me that she wanted to see you. I originally thought that she wanted to get to know you because she wanted to do business with the Xiao Group. I didn't expect her to say that she was entrusted with a task and had a few words to tell you in person."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know Yuan Fangfang."

"Didn't she say what it was about?"

Qin Huanhuan: "She wouldn't tell me, she just asked me to arrange a meeting with you so she could tell you in person."
