Chapter 366 Mary Sue’s Sister-in-law (21)
The crisis of the Ning Group that Ning Shichu knew about arrived as expected. The cause was still because Ning Zhiyi's mind was full of love, and the consequences were very serious.
When Ning's father found out that he had caused such a huge loss to the company because of a woman, he became furious and scolded Ning Zhiyi.
"Are you mentally ill? Don't you know how important this cooperation is to the company? You actually abandoned the people sent by Lehman Brothers for a woman, and didn't even bother to sign the contract, and made them wait for you for so long! Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions are? It was our company that begged for cooperation with Lehman Brothers! They didn't beg us! You actually don't even take them seriously, Ning Zhiyi, you have a brain eaten by a dog, how come I didn't know you were a love saint? It really pissed me off!"
Ning Zhiyi's face was also very ugly. Hearing his father's scolding, he didn't think it was all his fault. Was it wrong for him to pursue love? He couldn't help but defend himself, "Didn't I apologize to them later? But I just made them wait a few more hours, and they couldn't stand it. This is too arrogant!"
"Idiot! Do you know that we are the ones asking for cooperation?!" When Ning's father heard his explanation, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead almost popped out. He had previously thought that his son was well trained and promising at a young age. He inherited his business talent and was an outstanding heir, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen this time, and because of such a ridiculous reason!
But he didn't think he had done anything wrong and even said that it was the people of Lehman Brothers who were arrogant... Father Ning wanted to unscrew his skull to see if it was filled with paste instead of brains.
"Father, even if Lehman Brothers is gone, we can still find other companies to cooperate with. In fact, we don't have to rely on him." Ning Zhiyi said this, refusing to admit his mistake.
"Do you think Lehman Brothers is just a bigger company with a more famous reputation? Idiot? Why did it become the industry leader? Isn't it because it has more patents and its products are higher grade than others? Now that you have offended them, you want to use the company's profits to pay for your troubles and turn to cooperate with companies that are not as good as Lehman Brothers? Are you crazy? Have you been bewitched by a woman and lost all your sanity?" Ning's father said angrily. For the first time, he felt extremely disappointed with his son, whom he had high hopes for.
Ning Zhiyi lowered his head and said nothing this time. Of course, he knew that cooperating with Lehman Brothers was the best choice, but didn't he offend them? His apology was not accepted. He was a child of destiny. He had been smooth sailing since he was a child. Others always flattered him and accommodated him. Except for Chang Jiaer, no one else had flattered or accommodated others.
He personally called the people at Lehman Brothers to explain and apologize, but they refused to forgive him and humiliated him severely. He had self-respect, and since an apology didn't work, he simply gave up. It was impossible for him to continue to apologize in a humble manner.
Ning Zhiyi straightened his back, thinking that the people from Lehman Brothers were making a fuss out of nothing. They refused to accept his apology, which was clearly intentional.
"Go to Lehman Brothers and apologize tomorrow! We must restore this cooperation no matter what. You know how great the loss will be to our company if we fail to do so. Those people on the board of directors will eat you alive!" Ning's father stared at Ning Zhiyi with bloodshot eyes.
"I have already expressed my humility, but they won't accept it," said Ning Zhiyi.
"Then keep going, go every day! Act sincere enough. I don't care whether you are beating yourself with a whip on your back to ask for forgiveness or kneeling down to beg others. In short, you have to be responsible for solving the trouble you have caused." Ning's father said coldly.
Ning Zhiyi pursed his lips and didn't say much in the end. He just nodded reluctantly, but in his heart he hated the boss of Lehman Brothers. He thought that when he developed Ning's company into a company stronger than Lehman Brothers in the future, he would take revenge on Lehman Brothers for the humiliation he had suffered.
If Ning Shichu knew about his idea, he would definitely be stunned. How self-centered must a person be to have such an idea?
It was obviously he who stood them up, making them wait for several hours in vain. Not to mention that they were Party A and you were Party B who was begging them for cooperation, even if they were ordinary partners with lower status than you, they would be full of resentment if they didn't give you any reason and couldn't get through to the person in charge on the phone, making them wait for several hours in vain. What's more, it was you who volunteered to cooperate with Lehman Brothers. How could you not be angry when you ignored them?
As for humiliation, you have offended someone and you are being unreasonable, so shouldn't you apologize? If they don't accept it, it's a humiliation to them? Who says that the victim must accept the apology of the wrongdoer, and not accepting it is a humiliation? How can he be so shameless?
If he is so self-centered, why doesn’t he become emperor?
In short, Ning Zhiyi's cooperation opportunity with Lehman Brothers fell through due to his personal fault. After the people on the board of directors found out, they all called to question him. Ning Zhiyi himself had a bad temper, and when he was questioned, he naturally started arguing fiercely with those elders, and he didn't feel guilty at all.
Ning Shichu found out about this when her mother called her. Her mother tried to get her to beg the Xi family to ask Xi Ciming to help think of a way to make up for it, but Ning Shichu naturally refused. She was not the original owner, and it was impossible for her to drag the Xi family into the mud and do a thankless task for the sake of a cheap brother with whom she had a mediocre relationship.
Ning's mother was very disappointed. Before hanging up the phone, she sighed and said, "Shichu, you seem to have changed a lot. You don't care about family matters anymore."
Ning Shichu rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I'm married now. Didn't you tell me in person at the wedding that I'm now a member of the Xi family? The Ning family belongs to my brother. If I show too much concern, I'm afraid my brother will think I'm trying to snatch the company from him."
Mother Ning was choked by her words, but she quickly came to her senses and said sadly: "Shichu, are you blaming mom and dad? But no matter what, you are mom and dad's biological daughter, and Zhiyi is your closest brother. How could we really treat you as an outsider? Have you forgotten the love and cultivation that mom and dad have given you since you were a child?"
Ning Shichu began to play the emotional card. Ning Shichu sighed and said, "Mom, you don't have to tell me so much. There is a difference between true love and pet love. The difference is between me and my brother. You said so much just to make me ask the Xi family for help, but mom, this trouble was caused by my brother, so he should be responsible for solving it himself. Even if he needs help, he should do it. How can I let you, as a mother, ask for help and clean up his mess? Mom, I feel sorry for you."
Ning Shichu rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said while suppressing his nausea.
