The Xi family patriarch was furious that his eldest grandson was disobedient and exasperated that his younger grandson showed no ambition. He felt like these two good-for-nothings were sent by the heavens just to anger him to death.
Had he not tried to stop the people replaced by Xi Muchen? He simply couldn't stop them. Muchen's methods were too ruthless. He had a hold over those people, and now, unless Muchen himself spoke, those people wouldn't dare return to the Xi Family, let alone offer their support to Xi Beiyang.
With Muchen being so competent, the elder Xi couldn't tell if it was a blessing or a curse. If he was wholeheartedly devoted to the Xi Family, that would be one thing, but if he had other ideas…
The elder Xi simply dared not think about it.
"Beiyang, you must keep a close eye on that Heng'an project of the Xi Family this year," said the elder Xi. "Don't keep dragging your feet on it. This project is very important to the Xi Family."
