"Grandfather."
Summer went downstairs and sat down opposite Charlie.
Seeing that it was Summer, Charlie smiled and said, "This was an impromptu visit. I was worried that there would be no one in the home."
Summer also smiled, but she’s a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Charlie asked, "Where's Leonardo?"
Ava brought Summer a cup of tea. Summer held the cup and said, "He went to work."
Only then did Charlie reveal an expression of dawning comprehension, "I’m old and can’t think things straight. I actually thought that you guys were as idle as me. I’m a stupid old man...."
"Grandpa, you're old but hale. You're not stupid," Summer smiled. She still didn't know the real reason why Charlie came to her.
"I retired early back then. Leonardo's father is now in his early fifties, and he isn't as energetic as before. It's said that Leonardo started a company with others. You know that, right?"
Hearing this, Summer knew the purpose of his visit.
Leonardo founded the Tip Top Media Company and had been working there. He didn't spend time managing the family business of the Emerson family.
Charlie said that Leonardo's father wasn't as energetic as before. His intention was obvious. He wanted Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group.
Since Charlie didn't declare his intention, Summer vaguely said, "I just know a little."
Charlie smiled and said meaningfully, "Sooner or later, Leonardo will take over the Emerson Group. It's time for him to give up his small business, right?"
The Tip Top Media Company was the leader of the entertainment industry in the country, but Charlie thought it was just a small business?
However, it wasn't an exaggeration.
After all, the Emerson family was a wealthy family and had accumulated wealth and resources for generations. Therefore, Leonardo's company was indeed no match.
"I'm not clear about Leonardo's work," Summer looked down and said humbly.
The reason why Charlie came here today was probably that he wanted Summer to persuade Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group.
However, why did he want her to do that?
Since he came to see her, it meant that Leonardo himself did not want to return to the Emerson Group.
Naturally, she wouldn't admit anything in front of Charlie.
Hearing this, the smile on Charlie's face faded a little. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Summer, revealing his dignity as the head of the Emerson family.
Feeling the pressure coming from Charlie, Summer's body tautened.
But she didn't give in.
They confronted each other for a while. Suddenly, Charlie laughed loudly, "Leonardo really has a good girlfriend!"
Summer unclenched her fists and her palms were wet.
She was not as calm as she seemed. Actually, she was fearful.
Charlie was different from Alexander. Charlie had experienced a lot, even some tough situations. When he was young, he had rid the whirlwind in the business circle. Now even though he was old and retired, he was still awesome.
This was probably the specialty of the Emersons.
They had wealth and status that others were envious of, so they were naturally more confident and august than ordinary people.
They were born with such characteristics, and no one else could learn it.
"To be frankly, I want Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group. Last time, I talked to him about this in the old house, but he refused. Please help me persuade him. I'm begging you."
Charlie's tone was so piteous and sincere that Summer couldn't bear to refuse.
"I'll talk about it with Leonardo. But since he didn't even listen to you, I'm afraid...."
