Assistant knows that his boss, Xie Li, is a selfish person. He always felt uneasy knowing that those shares were in Jiang Yuying's hands, which is why he had been considering transferring his assets. However, Assistant didn't expect Xie Li to actually go through with it.
He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Jiang Yuying had been with him for over twenty years, bearing his children, yet he was willing to consider transferring her assets just because of his doubts.
Moreover, as a mere assistant, he feared that he might be held accountable in the future once he outlived his usefulness.
Besides the public matters, Assistant had also helped Xie Li with some shady dealings in private. He didn't consider himself a good person, but transferring his own wife's assets was something he couldn't bring himself to do.
But even if he couldn't do it, he had to. If he refused today, he might end up in trouble tomorrow.
Seeing Assistant's lack of reaction, Xie Li calmly said, "Find a way to gradually transfer my assets to Yuying's name. I'll find another opportunity to have the housekeeper cooperate with you. I know where her documents are. Take it slow, but don't let Yuying find out. Transfer as much as you can."
"Um...?"
Assistant didn't catch it at first and simply replied "yes," but as he listened further, he realized something was amiss. What did Xie Li mean by "transfer to Yuying's name"?
In that moment, Assistant's expression became somewhat comical, the feeling of doubting himself intensified. It wasn't until he couldn't bear it anymore that he asked, "Sir, did you mean to transfer your assets to Madam's name?"
"Yes."
"Including... including the Xie Group?"
Xie Li looked at him as if he were a fool. "Of course."
Assistant was stunned. It wasn't that he wasn't smart enough, but this was simply hard to accept. His boss, who seemed to have turned over a new leaf and cared about his family, was actually considering giving away such a significant stake in the Xie Group?
After receiving confirmation, Assistant stumbled out of the office in a daze. When he sat down at his desk in the secretary's office, the team leader handed him some documents and noticed his confusion.
"Sir, are you okay? Feeling unwell?"
Assistant Gao shook his head. "No, I'm fine. Just feel like the sun rose from the west today, quite unusual."
Assistant Gao pushed aside other matters and, once he finished his work, began drafting the share transfer agreement. However, it wasn't for transferring assets to Jiang Yuying's name but for the shares Xie Li wanted to give to Xie Siyun.
After drafting it, the Assistant sought out the head of the law firm hired by the Xie family to finalize the details. Then, together with the lawyer, they went to see Xie Li.
Xie Li wasn't very familiar with legal terms, so he held back and was extra cautious, despite trusting Assistant Gao. He was particularly careful because it was for Xie Siyun. After returning home, he also consulted the housekeeper and sought out a reputable lawyer to ensure everything was in order. Only after confirming that there were no issues and that it was indeed what he wanted did he sign the documents.
Once it was done, he breathed a sigh of relief and placed it in the safe, waiting to hand it over to Xie Siyun on her birthday. After she signed, it would become effective.
Xie Li didn't actually know how big the Xie Group was or how much the two percent stake was worth. After all, he was just a regular programmer. But he knew that a two percent stake in the Xie Group was definitely very valuable.
The Xie Group, as a super large family-owned enterprise in the original novel, was a dominant chain enterprise that could shake the economy with a stomp. There were many subsidiary companies under it, and Xie Li could be directly equated with a certain Alibaba Group. No matter how you looked at it, owning a two percent stake was very lucrative.
Moreover, it was prestigious.
He couldn't just give his wife a mansion and a luxury car without giving anything himself.
After thinking it over, he decided to give shares.
It's no wonder he thought of this. In the original novel, his unfortunate son had also given shares to the female lead. The novel depicted it as very glamorous, with surrounding socialites and wealthy women being very envious.
This wave of giving shares to his daughter would definitely make Xie Siyun's birthday party very grand.
With one worry off his mind, Xie Li felt relieved all over. However, when he closed the safe, his wife caught him red-handed. The Xie family had two safes, one in Xie Li's study and one in the living room next to their master bedroom.
In line with Xie Li's personality, it was better to keep valuables closer to himself! So it was quite normal for Jiang Yuying to see it.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuying asked casually, but Xie Li pulled her over, made her sit on the sofa, and then crouched down to open the safe. He took out the documents he had just locked away and presented them to Jiang Yuying like a treasure.
Jiang Yuying took them, flipped through them, and immediately widened her eyes. She already had big eyes, and widening them made them even bigger. After closing the documents, she was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, she couldn't help but ask him, "Won't you regret this?"
Xie Li sat down on the sofa opposite Jiang Yuying, and just as he sat down, he heard her question, feeling a bit puzzled, "What's there to regret about this?" After all, it wasn't his money, so why would he feel distressed?
Jiang Yuying didn't understand the reason behind it, but she felt that Xie Li had really changed. They had been married for over twenty years, and she knew Xie Li's character very well, just like Assistant did. How could she not know?
