What?
Beanie blinked his eyes and stared at Jarold.
He blinked again, and Jarold was still looking at him. Although his smile had reached his eyes, the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes did not seem as if he was joking.
He blinked again and thought to himself, "Was... Was this Daddy's plan?"
Did his father plan this for him? This was the thought that went through his mind at that time.
His father did not want to take over the company, so he decided to hand it over to him?
What?! He was just a six year old kid! He knew nothing about running a business!
Bad Daddy!
A man who could hurt his mother was definitely not a good man!
Beanie felt helpless now that he was the candidate to take over the company.
"Beanie?" Jarold thought that the boy did not understand him as he did not give him an answer. Hence, he explained again, "Don't worry. What I mean was, I am going to hand over this company to you, but not right now. The company will be handed over to you when you have learned how to run a business. Look at it this way, Beanie. When you grow up, you will have billions of dollars to your name.'¹
Beanie tilted his head.
He was only six years old, but he would have billions of dollars to his name?
That sounded awesome!
However, he felt that it would be very exhausting to manage such a large company. Besides, it wasn't his dream to become a president of a company like his father.
His dream was...
He pouted. His expression clearly showed that he wasn't willing to take over the company.
Jarold did not think that the child would respond in such a manner. He felt a little awkward and could only say, "Beanie, I will not force you. Maybe you can think about it first. Or perhaps I will sell the company and hand over the money to you so that you don't have to worry about your future anymore."
In fact, it was wrong to do that.
That was because some kids would end up being spoiled. They would think that there was no need to work hard since their future was guaranteed.
They would only end up doing whatever they want with all the money they have.
However, Jarold felt that he did not need to worry about that when it came to Beanie.
He did not feel the slightest bit of heartache at the idea of handing over his wealth, which he had spent years acquiring, to his children. It was just a pity that he had to sell his company if no one wanted to take over.
Beanie initially did not plan to accept it. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that even if he had accepted it, it would not affect his dreams and ideals.
Anyway, he still had a long way to go before he grew up and became mature. The company was huge. At that time, he could find someone he trusted to manage it. Then, he would be able to leave the company to that person while he continued to pursue his dreams.
"Great-Grandpa, don't think like that. I promise you that I will take over the company."
"What did you just say?" Jarold was overjoyed. "Are you being serious?"
Beanie nodded and said, "Yes."
"Good! Good! That's really good!"
Jarold was overjoyed and kept on repeating the same word. He then said, "I should immediately
break the news to your father."
Beanie sat where he was and blinked.
Well, it seemed like he was going to be rich soon.
Three days later.
Jarold and Beanie returned to Hidalgo together.
