Today happens to be Friday, and Jiang Xiaoli called Ren Zhiyi and the others to tell them about Chen Bai. They came straight to the company after class.

Chang Yue felt extremely guilty, "There is a deficit of more than 3 million yuan, it's all my fault."

Ren Zhiyi shook her head in denial, "Xiaoyue, don't say that. Xiaoli has been away for a while, and I've been the one overseeing the company. It's my responsibility that this happened."

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled and said, "Other people are quick to shift the blame, but you two are eager to take responsibility."

Yan Chengcheng came in arm in arm with Hu Jingxin, "What? Who's going to take responsibility?"

Hu Jingxin said apologetically, "My family matters have delayed things for too long. If anyone is responsible, it is definitely me. I shouldn't have pushed all the blame onto you."

Yan Chengcheng mumbled in a daze, "We'll all shoulder the burden together!"

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Alright, none of us wanted to see something like this happen at the company. We should just try to solve the problems proactively."

Ren Zhiyi nodded. "Besides suing Chen Bai, I will also sue the headhunter who recommended him to the company. Their company provided a guarantee for Chen Bai, and the guarantee period is still in effect!"

"Can!"

Chang Yue spoke up, "We have plenty of funds in our accounts, so 3 million won't be a crippling blow. But should we still keep the CEO position?"

Jiang Xiaoli said, "Sure, before, when Xin Xin and I weren't around, the three of you didn't have time to come to the company every day. But now that we're both back, this problem shouldn't happen again."

They can't possibly have three unlucky days in a row, can they?

After discussing how to handle the matter, the girls gathered together to chat.

Hu Jingxin said, "Recently, I've really seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships."

Yan Chengcheng unscrewed the bottle of beverage and said, "Come on, contestant, tell us your touching story."

Hu Jingxin chuckled lightly, "Then I'll tell you about it."

"When my mother and I were discussing purchasing machinery and equipment, my second uncle strongly insisted on purchasing from the company he recommended."

The owner of that restaurant was my father's best friend. They often went fishing together, but his equipment was outdated and neither my mother nor I liked it.

As a result, my second uncle turned against my mother and me because of a few sales targets he promised. He even accused me of bringing bad luck to my father. My second uncle used this excuse to shut up a group of superstitious people during a company meeting.

Yan Chengcheng asked with concern, "So what happened in the end? You didn't buy any equipment from them, did you?"

"No," Hu Jingxin said with a smile. "There are indeed some people in the company who still can't see the situation clearly, so my mother fired them all."

"Fully open?"

Jiang Xiaoli was shocked. "Xin Xin, how will your company operate if you fire all the middle and senior management at once?"

Hu Jingxin shrugged. "Xiao Li, not all companies are as harmonious as ours. Rather than letting them stay and cause trouble, it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly."

My mother had been urging me to return to Kyoto for a while, but I was worried about her health, so I didn't come back until all the junior staff in the various positions were promoted and everything was settled.

Everyone now greatly admires Mrs. Hu. "Xin Xin, once the company's situation stabilizes, bring your mother to Kyoto. At least it'll be more reassuring to live closer to her!"

Hu Jingxin nodded. "That's what I think too, but apart from things like Chen Bai's situation, I'm now wondering if hiring a professional manager is a reliable idea for our company."

The girls were chatting happily inside, while the three people outside were getting hungry.

Zhong Yuan called out from outside the door, "Xin Xin, are you hungry? I'll take you to get something good to eat!"

Jiang Xiaoli walked out with Hu Jingxin in her arms. "Brother Yuan, isn't that a bit unfair of you? You only take Xinxin with you when there's something good to eat?"

Zhong Yuan waved his hand, "Let's go, everyone!"

They arrived at the restaurant recommended by Zhong Yuan, and Chang Yue said, "How long has it been since we all got together for a meal like this?"

Hu Jingxin linked arms with Zhong Yuan, saying, "It would be great if Zhiyi and Chengcheng could find partners too."

Jiang Xiaoli suddenly remembered, "Hey, right, Zhiyi, didn't you say you were going to confess your feelings to Da Luobo when you were in Birmingham? How did it go?"

Ren Zhiyi pursed her lips. "I'm sorry, sisters, I regretted coming back, and something happened that made all my good feelings towards this person disappear instantly."

"What? I've never heard you mention this before?" Yan Chengcheng asked.

"It's nothing," Ren Zhiyi replied after thinking for a moment. "It's just that I found out that this person looks glamorous on the surface, but is actually incredibly slovenly."

When our two families were having dinner together, he was chatting with my cousin and said that he was too lazy to wash his underwear, so he would wear it inside out. He said that he definitely wanted to find a wife who would wash clothes every day. When I heard that, my scalp tingled instantly…”

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the dishes that had just been served and couldn't help but slap herself on the mouth. "Serves you right for being so cheeky, asking this at a time like this!"

"Hahaha!" Zhong Yuan laughed nonstop. "I thought I was sloppy enough, but it turns out the king of sloppiness is someone else! I'm so angry!"

"Cough cough cough!" Yan Chengcheng cleared her throat to attract everyone's attention.

She said with a smile, "I didn't think there was much to say, but since Zhiyi has shared her story, I'll share mine too."

Hu Jingxin guessed, "Is it about Lu Ze?"

Yan Chengcheng nodded, "That's right!"

She said with a smile, "After returning to China, Lu Ze went back to his hometown and found my parents and said he wanted to be with me. My parents were overjoyed. They even called me at 11 p.m. that night."

They probably didn't expect me to disagree, and they were a little unhappy at the time. But I resolved the situation with just one sentence.

Hu Jingxin, still impatient, said, "Chengcheng, what is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

Yan Chengcheng covered her mouth and chuckled, "I just made up a story that he wasn't interested in me, but in my house in Kyoto. My parents ended up scolding me even more harshly than I did!"

Ren Zhiyi frowned. "Aren't you afraid they'll deny it?"

"Hahahaha!" Yan Chengcheng burst into laughter before she could even speak.

She said haltingly, "The funniest part is that after the three of us cursed Lu Ze all night, Lu Ze's mother brought Lu Ze to my house to propose marriage early in the morning."

His mother said her family was willing to offer a dowry of 66,000 yuan, provided I brought this house in Kyoto as my dowry. My parents immediately kicked them both out.

Zhong Yuan commented, "Trying to buy a house for 66,000 yuan? That's ridiculous!"

Jiang Xiaoli was speechless. "So his ordinary yet confident demeanor is hereditary?"

Zong Jiayu's worldview was somewhat overturned. "I really couldn't believe he was this kind of person."
