Chapter 288, Making a Will
"Knock Knock-"
The grandpa and grandson were talking in the study, when they heard the knock on the study door, Mr. Zhou raised his hand and asked his grandson to open the door first.
Zhou Xing stood up, went to open the door, and called out to the man outside, "Hello, Uncle Gao."
"Master Ah Xing is so old, my uncle hasn't seen you very much." The person who came was Mr. Zhou's personal lawyer consultant Mr. Gao Zegao.
He has been handling some matters of the Zhou family for so many years. Attorney Gao is no stranger to Mr. Zhou's eldest grandson. It can be said that he almost watched this child grow up.
"Uncle Gao, please come in." Zhou Xing invited someone in, and ordered the housekeeper to bring a cup of tea.
"Sit." Mr. Zhou and Lawyer Gao are old acquaintances who have known each other for many years. He asked Lawyer Gao to come here today to deal with some will issues.
Lawyer Gao greeted the old man, sat down on the chair in front of the old man, took out a document from the briefcase he brought, handed it to the old man, and said, "This document is according to your The meaning is typed out, can you see where there are any problems that need to be corrected?"
Someone knocked lightly on the door of the study room again. Zhou Xing happened to be standing, so he went to open the door, took a cup of tea from the housekeeper and entered, and closed the door behind his back.
Mr. Zhou opened the box, took out a pair of reading glasses and placed it on the bridge of his nose, before he began to seriously look at the documents in his hand.What he held in his hand was a will, and he asked lawyer Gao to make it according to his wishes. After reading it, he said, "No problem."
"Ah Xing, come and have a look." Mr. Zhou waved to his grandson.
Zhou Xing saw the big characters of the two wills on the document, paused for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to ask Uncle Gao to get this thing so early. You are in such good health, and it won't be a problem to live another 30 or [-] years. This matter will wait until later." Say it again."
"Silly boy, how many years can grandpa live when he is old? Instead of waiting for something to happen to grandpa to make these things, it is better to get these things done in advance. What is yours is yours, whoever I can’t take away your things.” The latter sentence of Mr. Zhou expressed his position and his preference for the eldest grandson. The old man asked his grandson to take the document and read it, and said: “Look, if there is no problem, sign on it .”
"You'll be eighteen in a few months, and you'll be an adult."
"When you go to university next year, you will probably come back home less often. When you grow up, you still have to go outside and see the outside world. Grandpa also hopes that he can live a few more years and watch you start a family. But grandpa doesn't know if he can live to the time when you get married."
Mr. Zhou knew his physical condition well.He didn't think he could live another 30 to [-] years as his grandson said. If he could live another [-] to [-] years, he would have already laughed.
Like the situation in their family, if he accidentally closed his eyes and left, with his son's virtue, the woman in the family gave birth to two younger children. The relationship between his eldest grandson and those two Not so good.
People are selfish. The old man is afraid that his son will give nothing to the eldest grandson and leave everything to the two children born to that woman.If this is the case, he will leave by then, and he will not even want to reincarnate when he goes to the underworld.
Hearing what his grandfather said, Zhou Xing had no choice but to take the document and read it at a glance, "Grandpa, isn't it too much for you?" Will there be any opinions?
"Not much. The share that grandpa gave you will not come into effect until you take over the company. Your mother divorced your father back then and didn't want anything. She originally had a share. Your mother's I'll give you a share as well, and your own share." In fact, in making this will, Mr. Zhou didn't mean to make amends to his grandson He Zeng. The divorce between his son and his grandson was on their side. fault.
That woman walked out of the gate of their Zhou's house, and never came back to see the child in these years, and she was completely cut off from their Zhou's house.
The old man knew that his grandson must be resenting his father and his grandfather because of his mother's affairs. He didn't know how to resolve the resentment in his grandson's heart. He only hoped that his grandson would live a better life in the future, which is better than anything else. up.
"Grandpa is old now, and his energy is not as good as before. The family company is now in the hands of your father. Your father is not a person who is good at management and management. After you graduate from university, the family company will still be handed over to you, grandpa. Only then will he be more at ease." Mr. Zhou still knows what kind of person his son is.
But he is only such a son, if the company is not entrusted to his son, should he be entrusted to outsiders?
Fortunately, the grandson has grown up now and is not messing around like his father. This should be considered a good thing.
This is why he left so many shares for his grandson, just thinking that after his grandson graduates, he can take over the family company, "I will leave this house for your father to live in. But it is stated later, in the future This house is still left to you."
"You are the eldest grandson, and the burden on you is heavier. Your father and your young mother will still rely on you to support them in the future. No matter how bad they are, it will still be your father and your young mother. I still have two As for the house, the big one is for you, and the small one is for your younger brother...there is only such a little thing in the house, and there is not much that can be distributed to you, and you still have to rely on yourself in the future."
There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings at home, and he left all these things to this grandson, and those things are his lifeblood.The old man was just afraid that his son would be too stupid, and if one day he lost everything or gave it away, he would be revived even if he died.
It hasn't been many years since they came here in Jiangcheng. Except for the things they brought back then, what is left is what he has saved over the past few decades. All these things are left to his son and his family. grandchildren's.
"Master Ah Xing, if there is nothing wrong with this document, please sign it and put your fingerprint on it." This document was typed out by him himself, and Lawyer Gao knows what is on it.
He has helped people deal with so many property division issues. It can be said that the will made by the old man is completely biased towards the eldest grandson, in order to protect the interests of the eldest grandson.
Zhou Xing stood still, looking up at his grandfather.
"Sign it, grandpa won't harm you." Seeing his grandson looking at him, old man Zhou picked up a pen and said.
Zhou Xing had no choice but to take the pen, hesitated for a moment, signed his name, and stamped his fingerprints on it.
Mr. Zhou also signed his name on the document and stamped it with his seal.
Afterwards, this document was returned to Attorney Gao, "I will send you this document in two days."
"Okay, I'd like to trouble Lawyer Gao. Ah Xing, take Lawyer Gao out." Mr. Zhou sat still on the chair and asked his grandson to take the guests out.
Lawyer Gao put the documents back into the briefcase, stood up, put the briefcase under his arm, bowed slightly to the old man, turned around and went outside.
Zhou Xing sent Lawyer Gao out, and came back to sit with his grandfather for a while, listening to what his grandfather had to say.Then the grandpa and grandson had lunch together, and he left the house when his grandpa was going to take a nap.
Wu San drove the car and waited outside, sending their young master away, "Master, where are you going?"
"Of course you picked me up from where, so send me there." Sitting in the car, Zhou Xing was still thinking about the will just now. After thinking about it, he told Wu San: "If you have nothing to do, come back and help me see grandpa. If there is anything going on with grandpa, you can report to me at any time."
He felt that his grandfather was going to make a will for no reason, and he always felt that something was wrong with this matter?This made him feel a little uneasy.
"Oh." Wu San thought to himself, Eldest Young Master, you don't want me to follow, what can I do?But this helps to keep an eye on the old man? "Master, are you treating the old man...cough cough, are you concerned about the old man?"
Through the rearview mirror, Zhou Xing glared at Wu San.Wu San quickly shut up and concentrated on driving his car, not daring to ask any more questions.
***
This time at noon is the best time for business in the store, but it is also the busiest time.Seeing Zhou Xing approaching, Qiao Minglang was still busy with his hands, so he let him sit down for a while, "Have you had lunch? Would you like something to eat?"
"No need, I came here after eating." Seeing the young man busy, Zhou Xing also went over to serve the noodles.
Wu San, who secretly followed their young master, hid next to a small shop in the opposite street, separated by a road and pedestrians, watching their young master from a distance serving people something to make up for his smiling face, his heart was bleeding, I can't wait to rush over to stop their young master.
Woooooo...how could their young master do such a job!
But he also knew that if their young master was unwilling to do something, no one would be able to force their young master to do it.Since their young master is willing to do it, it must be their young master's own willingness.
Wu San walked away wiping away tears in the end, not in such a beautiful mood.
"It's a little hot, eat it slowly." Zhou Xing served the noodles to the guests. He always felt that someone was looking at him. When he looked outside, he only saw pedestrians coming and going on the street, which made him feel a little strange .
But he didn't see any strange people, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to help with work.
He doesn't know much about other tasks, but serving noodles to guests and handling dishes and chopsticks are all hands-on tasks for him.
Even though the weather was too hot, it was useless to turn on a few fans in the store. After working for a while, he broke out in sweat, and Zhou Xing pulled his sweat-soaked clothes.
