Chapter 54 The Chicken That Doesn't Lay Eggs
He was the one who made the decision to appoint her as general manager, but how much did she actually give up?
She devoted almost everything to her work.
But Boss Zhou still scolded her every day. She could tolerate the scolding, but he deliberately set the KPI standards to an unattainable level so that he wouldn't give them performance bonuses.
Her salary was fixed to begin with, and there were no performance-based bonuses. What was she working so hard for?
Not to mention what Zhou Jian did to Shao Min and Wang Yide, even she, who wasn't overflowing with a saintly heart, couldn't stand it.
In order to prevent Wang Yide from receiving dividends, they promoted a lowly sales manager to sideline Wang Yide and force him to leave. They even resorted to all sorts of disgusting methods to drive away a pregnant woman.
Song Yilin knew from Zhou Jian's fiery eyes that they had won. They had grasped Boss Zhou's fatal weakness and acquired Xin'ao Group at minimal cost.
If Boss Zhou doesn't usually treat his employees like beasts of burden, no one will betray him at a crucial moment.
If he has to be a law-abiding citizen first, and if he himself has no problems, no matter how much they hate him, no matter how many of us unite, we can't get rid of him.
Zhou Jian lowered his voice and said, "Don't be too happy yet. I'll pay the tax another day, and nothing will happen."
"Really? Mr. Zhou, how did you manage to scrape together so much money in such a short time? We've already made arrangements. After we take over Xin'ao Group, we'll definitely help you avoid paying taxes."
Zhou Jian said angrily, "Do you think the Xu family is so easy to get into? Even a normal woman can't get in, let alone a hen that can't lay eggs like you."
Song Yilin didn't speak, but she silently said to Zhou Jian in her heart, "It's not a question of whether the Xu family will let me in or not, it's a question of whether I want to get in or not."
After finishing his business, Xu Qingmin immediately left the venue.
Xu Qingmin drove the car directly up the mountain.
Looking at the mountain filled with stars, Song Yilin asked curiously, "Xu Qingmin, did you bring me to see the starry sky?"
"No, I want to see you. You are the dazzling star today, very eye-catching."
Even when it was just a compliment, Xu Qingmin spoke with obvious lust.
Xu Qingmin carried Song Yilin to the back seat of the car and let her sit there.
"Xu Qingmin, are you sure? On this mountain?"
“I want to take you home, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself if we stay at home. If you don’t want to, we can go down the mountain.”
Since we're already here, there's no reason not to go.
Song Yilin took the initiative to kiss Xu Qingmin, her fingers circling around the back of his head.
Song Yilin now looks just like a thousand-year-old fairy.
Xu Qingmin regretted it. He should have brought Song Yilin home; then he could have spent the whole night with her.
When Song Yilin shone brightly at the banquet today, he had an urge to pull her into his room.
He couldn't hold back any longer; the closest place to the venue was this mountain.
Call him a beast or whatever, but after all those years of longing for that body, once you tasted it, you can't forget it.
After Song Yilin and Xu Qingmin left.
Zhou Jian turned and went to another gathering place for wealthy women.
Holding a glass of wine, he approached Xu Ming's side.
"Mr. Xu, it's been a long time."
Xu Ming looked at the person in front of her. The person looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. Her good manners prevented her from feeling embarrassed: "Long time no see. What have you been up to lately?"
“My Xin’ao Group has caught the eye of your son. Oh dear, it’s rare that your son and daughter-in-law have taken a liking to it.”
Xu Ming then realized who this person was.
"Really? Mr. Zhou, then we're destined to meet. But what about the daughter-in-law you mentioned?"
"That's Song Yilin, the general manager of our Jianghai store. She's a real powerhouse. Mr. Xu, you're so lucky. She's an absolute career-driven woman. She didn't want to have children and even got sterilized because of her work. Don't you think she's a perfect match for you, Mr. Xu? If you two work together, you'll definitely be able to make the Xu Group even more successful."
Xu Ming maintained a polite smile: "Mr. Zhou, you flatter me. Thank you for your kind words."
"However, Mr. Xu, you don't need to worry. I heard that Song Yilin's daughter is also very outstanding. With proper upbringing, she will definitely be able to carry forward the Xu Group in the future. It's just that the Xu family may have to change its surname in the future."
"No, Mr. Zhou is overthinking it."
Xu Ming had a smile on her face, but her back teeth were practically grinding to powder.
Xu Ming can accept Song Yilin, a divorced woman with a child, but she cannot accept a woman who cannot have children and wants someone else's child as her heir. That is absolutely unacceptable unless she is dead.
When Xu Ming returned home, she told her husband, Mr. Xu, about the matter, and Mr. Xu immediately became angry.
"Stop interfering in the child's affairs. Do you want your son to grow old alone?"
Xu Ming said indignantly, "Do you want your Xu Group to be replaced by the Bai Group? That's not your son's daughter, and she's already in junior high school. She's not someone you can raise properly. She's always hanging around Xu Yijing. Do you know what those two are up to?"
Old Xu said helplessly, "Your son has been single for 13 years. He's finally willing to open his heart again, so don't make a fuss. Everyone has their own destiny. So what if he's destined not to have children? Who says people have to have children? Does that mean DINKs (Double Income No Kids) don't deserve to live?"
Xu Ming started to fly into a rage: "Isn't all my concern for our child and your Xu Group for the sake of you? Or did you originally intend for Xu Yijing to inherit it?"
Why did you bring this up?
"You can't even mention the shameless things you've done?"
Old Xu slammed his water glass down: "If you keep making trouble, go back to the countryside."
Xu Ming clenched her teeth tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Xu Muqiang, you are the one who wronged me. How can you be so self-righteous? I swallowed all my grievances and recognized Xu Yijing as my son, and you don't appreciate it. Instead, you blame me for being unreasonable? It was me who maintained the reputation of your Xu family. Where is your conscience?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Old Xu didn't argue with Xu Ming and simply ignored her, letting her cry on the side.
That was the child she carried for ten months and gave birth to; that was the respectable Xu family she had painstakingly maintained. Such a large Xu Group could not possibly be given to Xu Yijing, much less to someone with the surname Bai.
Xu Ming stared blankly at the building where Xu Yijing lived.
weekend.
Bai Guanqun came to Xu Yijing's house for tutoring as usual.
She came many times and became familiar with the place.
Xu Yijing is much more cheerful in class now. Although Bai Guanqun is new, he quickly made a group of friends and often brings them to Xu Yijing's house.
Bai Guanqun, with his current mindset, couldn't understand the complexity of Xu Yijing's family. He thought that Xu Yijing had become stupid from studying alone all the time, so he would bring different classmates over to interact with Xu Yijing more and make him smile more.
She was the only one who came today. Halfway through the class, Xu Yijing was suddenly called out by his mother. She was originally there to audit the class, but she wouldn't let the tutor give her a private lesson if Xu Yijing wasn't there.
She could only study with a workbook on the side.
After doing about two questions, Xu Ming came over. Didn't she just go out with Xu Yijing? Why is she here? But Bai Guanqun didn't want to ask.
Bai Guanqun politely asked Xu Yijing's mother, "Hello, Auntie, are you looking for someone to scold Xu Yijing?"
Xu Ming smiled and said to Bai Guanqun, "No, I came to talk to you."
He gestured to the tutor to leave with his eyes.
Seeing that Xu Ming was talking to her, Bai Guanqun put down her exercise book and listened attentively to what Xu Ming had to say.
"Your mother is Song Yilin, right?"
Bai Guanqun nodded, unsure of Xu Ming's purpose in speaking to her, so remaining silent was the best course of action.
Xu Ming took out some fruit for Bai Guanqun to eat: "Eat up, this is imported fruit from New Zealand, it costs more than 200 yuan per catty, you probably can't get this at home."
Bai Guanqun immediately realized that the person in front of him had ill intentions.
Bai Guanqun put the fruit back down after taking it from his hand, and looked directly at Xu Ming, asking, "Is there something you need?"
