President, Please Be Careful
136

The former master ran out of sense when he saw Zhao Youlin refuse to budge, unless she used force on him. So, he gave a pleading look to his eldest son who had been silent.

Zhao Shunrong naturally understood the hint of his former master's gaze. Unfortunately, back then, he was deeply offended at being called old. So, she wisely chose to .. close her eyes to him.

Not only did his eldest son not respond to him, but he sharply turned around even though he repeatedly threw clues at him. Apparently, his son had no intention of helping him.

The former master was furious. He cursed them to himself, The old one is as heartless as the young one. My granddaughter and son are both unfilial!’

The former master was angry but only for a moment. In the end, he sighed, raised his head and looked at Zhao Youlin. He said in a serious tone, “Youlin, I'm old. I don't have many more years. I have spent most of my life putting my heart and soul into the Zhao Group. You also know the family situation well. Other than your father and mother, the rest is ... It's not that you don't know them. Our family is already like this, let alone another company that has coveted the Zhao Group and can't wait to swallow it.”

Zhao Youlin froze and for a moment, she did not know what to say.

The former master's eyes twinkled as he saw Zhao Youulin's determination tremble. He put on a very sad look and continued, “Now, I have to rely on your parents to support the Zhao Group, and with a lot of difficulty also in that regard. Even though I can still help them, I am old. When I die, I won't be there to support your father. At that time, the people who had coveted the Zhao Group, be it insiders or outsiders, would definitely swarm over them. No matter how capable your father is, how could he possibly handle everything at once? Moreover, how can you just sit there and see all my efforts go to waste overnight, fall into the hands of others and be completely destroyed?"

Zhao Youlin was at a loss for words. Despite knowing the former master was deliberately aiming for his weak point, he was unable to find it within him to refute it. He knew that he was manipulating her, and yet, he knew that was also the truth.

His former master had three sons. Other than Zhao Shunrong, Zhao Shuncheng was proud, arrogant, and stubborn. He still did not realize that he was being used by his own wife. Meanwhile, Zhao Shunchang was a coward and obeyed what his fierce wife said, let alone his children who were nothing more than losers.

If the Zhao Group falls into the hands of those bastards, sooner or later it will be destroyed.

Zhao Youlin was silent for quite a while. In the end, he softened under the expectant gaze of his former master.

"I'll join the company, but on one condition."

“How are you doing?” The former master heaved a sigh of relief when Zhao Youlin agreed to it. He was overjoyed and said, "I'll qualify you as long as it's from you."

"I want the absolute right to fire people."

"Absolute right to fire people?" The former master raised his eyebrows. He discovered that this was something new to him.

Simply put, I want the right to fire anyone at the company whenever I want, including top management.

"In other words, do you mean that you want the right to fire anyone if he offends you?"

Zhao Youlin smiled and said with a stern look, “That's right. If you fulfill my request, I will join the Zhao Group. I will not be too calculative about the position or scope of the work you will assign to me.”

"Omong empty! The company has its own policy. How can you decide whether the staff is staying or leaving based on your personal preferences?! How petty and childish!” It was a matter related to the company and hence, Zhao Shunrong spoke seriously, which was a rare sight.

However, Zhao Youlin was not intimidated by him. Right after she yelled at him, she reached out her hand to the former master helplessly and said, “Grandfather, look, it's not that I don't want to join the company. Dad thinks I'm petty. So, I guess that's all for this matter. Let's forget it.”

It took the former master's great effort to finally drag Zhao Youulin into the hole, how could he possibly let his grandson leave just like that?

He immediately shouted, “Don't! Don't listen to your father. He spewed out nonsense. Even though the company is under his control, I am still the main decision maker in the company. Whatever I say will be the final decision, and there is no need to ask for his opinion. Girl, I'll agree to your condition. I'll give you the right. Anyone you find unpleasant in your eyes, you can ask them to leave whenever you want. So, this should be fine ... right? ”

"Dad!" Before Zhao Youlin responded to him, Zhao Shunrong had shouted at the former master with an expression of disapproval, “The company has its own policies, having such reckless power will only cause fear among the staff, <TAG1>The company has its own policies, and it is not beneficial to the company .. ”

Before Zhao Shunrong finished speaking, he was interrupted by his former master, “I was the one who set the company policy. My words are the same as company policy.”

"But, Dad ..." Although Zhao Shunrong knew that his former master was serious about what he said, he was still trying to change his mind.

Unfortunately, none of this means anything. The former master narrowed his eyes. He gave off a rare imposing aura from a superior and easily suppressed Zhao Shunrong.

“This is the right I promised Youlin. Although it seems a little excessive, I believe Youlin is reasonable and has her own thoughts. He would not simply abuse his rights and risk the company. Rong, you should be more confident in your daughter and trust her more.”

Right after the former master spoke, Zhao Shunrong froze. Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin had been watching the event that was unfolding quietly on the sofa. He seemed to have seen this end, yet he did not care about the father-son couple's quarrel. He remained completely silent.

In the end, the fact that Zhao Youlin joined the Zhao Group was concluded. Fortunately, Zhao Youulin's newly opened outlet was considered a reasonable-sized business, and he had recruited two main staff of — bakers. If he were to recruit a few more helpers, he should have no further problems with it.

While Zhao Youlin slowly got her life on the right track, Mu Tingfeng's peaceful life turned into a mess.

Ever since Mu Tingfeng bumped into Zhao Youlin while accompanying Su Qing for her pregnancy checkup, and after listening to the shocking statement coming from Su Qing, she looked troubled.

This was directly reflected in his performance when he sometimes looked dazed and his mind wandered.

Mu Tingfeng's secretary, Xia Zhetao had noticed all of this with his own eyes. Although Xia Zhetao was very curious about it, he did not dare to utter a word.

Hiks, Xia Zhetao's bonus has been cut not too long ago just because he told the president's cousin. If Xia Zhetao asked again, he probably wouldn't get his base salary for the month and would have to starve.

It is hard to be a good secretary. But, it was more difficult to be a silent secretary let alone he knew all the gossip about his superiors.
