Zhao Qinglan did not let the events following the annual meeting affect her family's reunion.
A few days after the eldest child returned, the second child and Xiaoduo started their winter vacation one after another. Of course, Xiaoduo, a senior in high school, was the last to start her vacation.
Now that he's in college, the eldest child has become the most carefree one in the family. Apart from his daily routine of getting up early to exercise, he's usually very idle.
Cheng Tao had contacted him while he was at school, but this winter vacation, Cheng Tao went straight back to his grandfather's house in Haishi, so he couldn't play with Da Wa anymore.
But Da Wa wasn't idle either. As soon as he got back, some of his former high school classmates made plans to meet him.
Besides those who got into university, the rest of the students in their class either chose to repeat a year of high school or went straight to work.
The high school students who were innocent and naive back then have undergone earth-shattering changes in their lives after just a few months apart.
It was no secret at school that Da Wa's family background was what it was all about. He was still a college student, and whether it was because of their past good relationship or his own circumstances, many people wanted to continue to contact him and maintain their friendship. In short, he was very popular.
Da Wa isn't a very outgoing person, but he usually goes to the parties his classmates invite him to.
He used to focus too much on studying and rarely went out for entertainment. It was only after this reunion with his classmates that he realized how much the provincial capital had changed.
With the newly opened dance hall and the roller skating rink popular with young people, even the movie theater has changed.
Of course, the biggest change is in the students.
Few students who are still repeating their studies have made it out, and their circumstances have changed the least.
The biggest changes are seen in those who have gone to university and those who have already started working; you can tell from their clothing and appearance. Some people even change their "personality" and become more mercenary.
Saying goodbye to his classmates, he felt both happy and conflicted.
Even when Xiaoduo is on vacation, she doesn't dare to play every day. She still needs to set aside some time to review. As for the third child, besides doing homework, he watches TV and reads books. He rarely goes out. Only the second child can't sit still and always wants to go out and see the world with his older brother.
However, the older child was at a classmate reunion, so it wasn't appropriate for him to bring his younger brother along, which made the younger child quite unhappy.
Fortunately, Erwa has many friends. Since his older brother doesn't take care of him, he goes to find his own friends.
Zhao Qinglan gives the children a fixed allowance every month. If there are any extra expenses, they just need to explain to her. As long as it is reasonable, she will not be stingy.
So when the children went out to play with their classmates, they didn't have to ask her for money for food and drinks.
Zhao Qinglan only told the children to wear more clothes when they went out so they wouldn't get cold, and not to bully others while they were out, but also to be careful so they wouldn't be bullied. She didn't care about anything else.
After all, the children are growing up and have their own ideas and personal space, so she, as their mother, has to relax.
Besides her family, she naturally didn't neglect her work at the company either.
The series of actions at the annual meeting struck a chord with many, prompting them to reflect on their actions.
A few days later, the results of the investigation into Yuan Dali were released.
Zhao Qinglan's intimidation was quite effective, and it made it easier for those below to conduct further investigations.
Although Yuan Dali gained power and many people fawned over him, many more disapproved of him, and some even followed the crowd and dared not provoke him.
For example, Wei Lu is not a bad person, and he didn't think about taking advantage of the company. But he was afraid of offending Yuan Dali, so he repeatedly indulged Yuan's mother.
Does he have any faults? Of course he does, and quite a few at that. But if we get to the bottom of it, the root of the problem lies with Yuan Dali.
The more they investigated, the bigger the problem became, and the cheap deals that Yuan's mother took from the supermarket seemed like a minor issue.
Yuan Dali took a lot of kickbacks while purchasing goods everywhere. At first, he only took a little bit of the gifts, but later, after getting a taste of the benefits, he took more and more kickbacks.
There are also acts such as abusing power for personal gain.
Zhao Qinglan also knew the principle that "if the water is too clear, there will be no fish." She could not care about subordinates, especially those in special positions, getting a little benefit, but if they went too far, they would cross the line.
She absolutely could not tolerate someone like Yuan Dali.
When the official results of Yuan Dali's case came out, he was dismissed from the company, and the house that had been allocated to him was taken back. As for the kickbacks he had taken and the money he had embezzled, he was required to return the money within a specified period if it could be verified, otherwise legal action would be taken.
After working so hard for so long, how could Yuan Dali be content to be back to square one?
He went straight to the office of Zhao Qinglan, the big boss, and burst into tears.
"President Zhao, it's all my fault. I, Yuan Dali, am not human. I, Yuan Dali, have failed to manage myself and my family. Please forgive me this time. I'll accept any demotion, pay cut, or even have the house taken back, just please don't kick me out."
His actions attracted a large crowd of company employees.
Zhao Qinglan appeared soon after.
"Yuan Dali, I wouldn't presume to say I've shown you kindness, but what have I or the company done to wrong you?"
“Mr. Zhao, you don’t have any,” Yuan Dali quickly said.
"But what about you? How have you repaid me? What position do you hold? Your mother dared to say that the supermarket was yours. I only found out by accident. If I hadn't discovered it, how long would you and your family have continued to leech off the company?"
"President Zhao, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Yuan Dali dared not refute, and only kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
However, Zhao Qinglan felt no pity or softened her heart.
"The decision to deal with you was unanimously approved in a company meeting. You can no longer stay here, Lanxin. If you cause trouble here again, I will have to have someone take you away. Don't waste your energy. Go."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Yu and Liu Dandan stepped forward, as if they would move for Yuan Dali if he didn't move.
