"I don't recommend that."
"Why?"
Zhou Chenyan relaxed and leaned back in his chair, as if he was talking about something unimportant.
"Can you beat him?"
"You look down on me."
"No, no, no, I don't mean that." His voice sounded gentle, as if he was giving me sincere advice.
"You should know your father better than I do. I don't need to tell you how important the company is to him."
I didn't answer but asked, "So you think I will lose in the battle for the company."
"Honestly, the odds are stacked against you."
I have been looked down upon by many people in my life. When my mother passed away, no one was optimistic about me and thought that I would not be able to take care of my younger brother alone.
But I saved my brother's life.
Many people said that without his mother, Mu Xianghua's attention was attracted by Mu Ya and her daughter, and he no longer paid attention to me and my brother.
For my younger brother, I will definitely choose to drop out of school and work.
I insisted on continuing my studies while working part-time, so I sold all the brand-name bags and clothes my mother had bought for me.
I changed into the simplest cotton clothes and began to learn to be thrifty.
This time is no exception.
"I won't lose to him."
"You're not good at managing a company, and you've never been involved in finance. Even though you've been working in the company for a while, you're still no match for that old fox, Mu Xianghua."
I don't understand why he keeps pouring cold water on me.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I just asked you not to be so stubborn."
I could see that he simply didn't believe in my ability. "What if I can do it?"
He looked at me suspiciously, "How are you going to deal with that old fox?"
"I have my own way," I reminded him. "You haven't answered my question yet."
Zhou Chenyan smiled with interest. "I don't think you can succeed, but since you actually want to ask, I have no problem making a bet with you."
He held his chin and walked slowly.
"If you lose, go home and don't have to go to work at the company anymore."
"You want me to be a housewife?"
"You're wrong. It's Mrs. Rich." He stretched out a hand and lifted my hair. "You just need to stay home and relax. I'll give you everything you need. I'll also help your brother. You don't have to work so hard. Isn't that good?"
I said coldly, "I'm not a tool."
I have my own choices and life, and the life I want to live.
How could I be willing to be his cook?
"I can challenge you on this bet, but what if you lose?"
"Promise you one condition, no matter what it is, I will do it."
"It's a deal."
He smiled. "It's a deal."
Finally I called Hong Yi.
Hong Yi has been very busy in the company these two days, helping me keep an eye on Mu Xianghua and his daughter.
"You guessed right. This father and daughter are birds of a feather. They're only thinking about getting some benefits from the company. The company's funds are already tight, and Mu Ya even took a small sum of money from the Finance Department, saying it was for the project they were working on with you. The money was used in the company's account."
"She's lying."
As the project leader, I have never received any payment from the other company, but is Mu Ya so stupid?
Knowing that I was in charge of this project, she still dared to tamper with it, unless she had a compelling reason to do so.
My intuition tells me that Mu Ya is the breakthrough point.
Hong Yi took a breath and asked, "Are you saying that she took the money for other purposes?"
"I'll investigate this matter, Aunt Hong. I'll leave Mu Xianghua to you. Please let me know immediately if there's any movement."
"Don't worry."
Hong Yi agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, I started investigating Mu Ya.
I found that she seemed to be very busy recently.
She clearly had to go to work in the company, but she didn't seem to have much interest in her job and was often even nowhere to be found.
The person who came into contact with me changed from her to a stranger.
I pretended to ask casually, "Has the person who made the mistake last time been fired?"
The employee was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "She wasn't fired, but her negligence was a fact, and my colleagues were very dissatisfied with it, so President Mu handed this matter over to me."
Would Mu Xianghua have the heart to let his daughter suffer any injustice?
Won't.
I'm afraid it's not because the project went wrong, but because they already got what they wanted.
I finished talking about work with my employees and prepared to leave.
I accidentally discovered that there was no one outside Mu Xianghua's office, and I could vaguely hear someone talking inside.
I approached quietly.
It was Mu Ya, "Dad, when are we leaving here?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Of course you want to make a big profit before you leave."
"I don't want to see that Mu Yan at all. She's a psychopath! As annoying as her mother!"
I gritted my teeth slightly.
Actually, the year Mu Ya came to my house was not the first time I met her.
Mu Xianghua had brought Mu Ya back a long time ago, saying that she was a friend's daughter and he wanted to help take care of her for a day.
My mother didn't suspect anything and was very nice to Mu Ya. My brother and I were also very kind to her.
Now, there is not a single good word she says about her mother.
Ungrateful person.
Mu Xianghua soothed him gently, "Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on. Mu Yan has been coming to the company a lot lately, so you should be more careful. If you can avoid coming, then don't come. If there's anything, we can talk about it at home."
