Chapter 191 Entering the Company
"Yaoyao will have her final exams soon, and summer vacation is just around the corner."
Mr. Zhong looked at Zhong Nianyao and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, Yaoyao is not young anymore. She will graduate in two years. It's time for her to join the company!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present paused for a moment, but in an instant, everyone returned to normal.
"Dad, Nian Yao is still young. There's no need to let her face the pressure of work so soon!" Zheng Siling joked. "Besides, she's a girl. Even after she graduates, she can stay at home and go shopping and have afternoon tea. How wonderful!"
"Yes!" Zhong Minghao also spoke up, "Besides, Meng Fan and Meng Xuan didn't join the company after graduation. Now, letting Nian Yao join the company directly is not a good idea, right?"
"Dad, there's no need to be so anxious about this!" Zhong Mingyu rarely sided with the eldest wife. "Nian Yao is a girl. There's no need for her to be too ambitious. The most important thing is to find a good family in the future."
Today, Mr. Zhong suddenly proposed that Zhong Nianyao join the company, catching the first and second wives off guard. They didn't understand why Mr. Zhong suddenly had such an idea. However, the company's inheritance rights were now a dispute between the first and second wives, and they didn't want Zhong Nianyao to have any chance to get involved.
"Have I asked for your opinions now?" Old Master Zhong glanced at everyone, his expression unclear as to whether he was happy or angry. "Or do you have strong objections to my proposal now?"
"Dad, we don't mean that at all," Zhong Minghao said calmly, "but if we really arrange for Nian Yao to join the company, then Meng Fan and Meng Xuan and the others—"
Of course, he had never thought about helping Zhong Mengxuan, but if he mentioned Zhong Mengfan now without mentioning Zhong Mengxuan, it would seem a bit unfair.
"You've really thought it through!" Mr. Zhong looked at Zhong Minghao with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "However, with Meng Fan's current condition, even if I'm willing to give her a chance, can she join the company?"
This sentence immediately made Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling's faces turn a little ugly. At the same time, they also felt a little resentful towards Zhong Mengfan in their hearts. If Zhong Mengfan hadn't had that incident, he might have been able to join the company by now. By then, he might even have occupied an important position.
"Also, don't forget one thing." Old Master Zhong glanced at his two sons. "Nian Yao is different from Meng Fan and Meng Xuan. She is also a shareholder of the company. So, is there any problem with her joining the company as an intern?"
These words immediately caused Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu's expressions to change slightly.
They had almost forgotten this because Zhong Nianyao had never cared about the company's affairs. However, after remembering this, both of them had their own little thoughts.
"Yaoyao, which department do you want to work in?" When Mr. Zhong looked at Zhong Nianyao again, his loving expression returned. "Then I can find someone to guide you."
"Grandpa, I'll take care of Nianyao when the time comes," Zhong Jinghao said with a gentle smile, pushing his glasses. "It's really time for her to get familiar with the company's business. I'll do my best to help her and see if I can get her familiar with everything this summer."
Those words seemed very sincere. He had no intention of opposing Zhong Nianyao joining the company. Instead, he was very enthusiastic about helping.
After hearing Zhong Jinghao's words, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Mr. Zhong's eyes, and then he nodded, "That's good."
"Nianyao is not young anymore, it's time to think about it." Madam Zhong took Zhong Nianyao's hand and asked with a smile, "Then Yaoyao, which department do you want to go to?"
"I'm not going." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "I already have plans for this summer, so don't worry about me. As for after graduation, I haven't thought about joining the company. I'd rather be a happy shareholder who only gets money."
She didn't know if she had any talent for business, but it was clear that she had no interest in the company. Therefore, she had no intention of joining the Zhong family's company.
She could see that both the first and second wives were opposed to her joining the company. As for whether Zhong Jinghao was sincere or not, only he knew.
"What?" After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Mr. Zhong couldn't help but frown, "Yaoyao, what are your plans for the summer vacation? Why don't you want to join the company?"
"If you're worried about being too tired, I'll have someone arrange a sinecure for you!"
In fact, the reason why he arranged for Zhong Nianyao to join the company was not because he really intended for her to be a strong woman. It was just that after the last time the police came to ask Zhong Nianyao to help with the investigation, he always felt that what Zhong Nianyao was doing now was really too dangerous.
That's why he thought of placing Zhong Nian Yao in the company. Even if it was just a sinecure, it would at least be much safer.
"No reason." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, then took Old Man Zhong's hand and acted coquettishly, "Grandpa, I just want to be a freeloader! This summer, I've become friends with people and I'm going abroad to play. As for the company, my two uncles and eldest cousin are there to support it, so I'd better not join in the fun."
Although Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu didn't say anything, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"Yaoyao, it's fun to work in the company!" Mrs. Zhong said with a hint of coaxing, "Our company specializes in jewelry. We have a lot of beautiful jewelry. I'm sure you'll like it."
"Grandma, you and Grandpa, please stop trying to persuade me." Zhong Nianyao's attitude was very firm. "Since I have made up my mind, I will not change it."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's appearance, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other knowingly, and finally they could only sigh helplessly.
"Actually, this is also very good!" Zheng Siling smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Nian Yao is a girl, as long as she is happy every day, that's enough. She doesn't need that little money, there is no need for her to work from nine to five every day, that would be so restrictive!"
This matter has passed. Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong did not continue to talk about it, so naturally no one else would mention it again, for fear that Zhong Nian Yao would really join the company.
