Chapter 54 Personnel Adjustments
In response to Jiang Xiaomei's question, Liu Aiping said, "How did you trick him? Xiaofei is often away from home, and he initially handed everything over to you. And what happened? Xiaofei felt something was wrong. He was just about to terminate his cooperation with the Qian family when his things were lost. I suspect you colluded with the Qian family to steal the things! That's hundreds of billions! It was all left to us by the ancestors of the Zhao family!"
"Auntie! You can't slander me like this! Xiaofei gave me money to buy a house and start a company. When have I ever wasted a penny? Now that something has happened, how can you put the blame on me? He is not at home every day, just like a hands-off boss. Why do you blame me for something that happened? Rongbaotang was not found by me!" Jiang Xiaomei said decisively.
"Do you think I can still believe what you say now?" Liu Aiping said coldly.
"My dear relatives, we can't be suspicious of each other because of this matter! We are a family!" Miao Guizhi knelt on the ground and begged.
Jiang Xiaomei immediately helped her mother up and said to Liu Aiping, "Since you don't trust me, I won't accept this marriage!" Then she shouted to her ex-wife Miao Guizhi, "Mom! Don't kneel! Get up! We have dignity too! We are human beings! It's just 430,000 yuan we owe! We can pay it back even if we sell the house!"
Jiang Xiaomei took her mother Miao Guizhi into the house to pack their luggage. Jiang Di also got up and followed behind. Seeing her sister and mother packing, Jiang Di ran over to stop them and said, "Sister! Don't be like this! I'm not refusing to pay back the money! Just explain it clearly to Auntie! If you leave, this marriage will really not be possible, sister!"
Jiang Di grabbed her sister's arm, and Jiang Xiaomei slapped her across the face, yelling, "Get out! Leave me alone! Get out!" Jiang Di's head buzzed from the blow. Miao Guizhi felt a little distressed, but ignored her. Jiang Di could only watch as his mother and sister packed up their things and left. He followed them, head bowed.
Liu Aiping was watching from downstairs. She really didn't care about the 430,000 yuan. Now that her son had hundreds of millions in assets, she certainly didn't care. But she absolutely couldn't tolerate the fact that her in-laws had a son who was a gambler. It was like having a drug addict in the family; getting involved would ruin their lives. It could even ruin the next generation! Even if her son came back to hate her, she couldn't let him go.
Watching the family leave, Liu Aiping slammed the door shut. It was a loud bang! This made Jiang Xiaomei completely determined to never set foot in the Zhao family's door again. Their fate was over from then on!
Today was Zhao Xiaokun's first day at the company, Monday, and he was confused about many things. He wanted to ask what was going on, but when he called Jiang Xiaomei, her phone was turned off. A short while later, his mother, Liu Aiping, arrived at the company.
Zhao Xiaokun saw that his mother looked unwell and asked, "Mom! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Aiping said nothing, but took out the IOU and showed it to Zhao Xiaokun. Zhao Xiaokun took the IOU and understood it immediately. His brother had told him about Jiang Di before, and he agreed with his brother's idea. Let Jiang Di work hard at the company and let his sister take care of him. The child could still be saved. But he hadn't thought of letting his mother know about this, and she accidentally found out. This was probably why Jiang Xiaomei didn't answer the phone just now. I can't imagine what the situation at home was like just now!
"Mom! I know about this! Xiaofei told me! Did you have a big fight with their family?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"Can you stop arguing? I don't want to keep such in-laws for long!" Liu Aiping said.
"Are you saying you want to cancel the engagement?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"Having a gambler brother in the family will ruin this family forever! Even if Xiaofei blames me, I can't agree! Besides, Jiang Xiaomei has already said that she won't accept this marriage!" Liu Aiping said.
"This is all a mess! I don't know a lot about the company! Now that I'm back, I have to start all over again!" Zhao Xiaokun said. He thought to himself, since his mother had made the decision, this thing probably wouldn't work out. It wouldn't be any use even if Xiaofei came back, so he should just get the business done first!
"I'll go find her. The money has to be paid back, and she can't quit this job. I won't leave until the handover is completed!" said Liu Aiping.
"Oh! That's enough, Mom! You go home and rest, I'll go look for her, okay? Don't be angry anymore!" Zhao Xiaokun quickly coaxed his mother back to the villa.
After leaving the villa, Zhao Xiaokun returned to the company. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Di. There were two obvious palm prints on his face, and he was holding a briefcase in his hand. Zhao Xiaokun said, "Xiao Di! Come to my office!"
"Oh!" Jiang Di followed him into the office listlessly. After closing the door, Jiang Di said, "Brother Xiaokun! Please help my sister! My sister and Brother Xiaofei have been together for so many years. It's impossible for them to just give up! My sister must be feeling really bad. It's all my fault, my fault!" She even started to cry.
"You are an adult, and you are still crying! Wipe your tears! Why are you coming to the company instead of staying at home with your sister and mother?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"I'm too embarrassed to see them, so I have no choice but to come to work!" said Jiang Di.
"Okay! Don't go to work anymore! Go home and accompany your sister and comfort her more!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"No! I can't be unemployed! I don't even have anywhere to go now! If I don't have an income, I'll have to sleep on the street!" Jiang Di said.
"I didn't fire you! I asked you to go home and be with your sister! Do you understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Xiaokun said a little impatiently.
"Brother Xiaokun! Please let me go to work! I really have nowhere to go!" Jiang Di begged.
"Okay! There are tasks to be done at work! I will give you a task now, bring your sister to the company! I want to tell her something about the company, can you do it?" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Ah! I..." Jiang Di hesitated.
"What do you mean by 'I'? Go quickly!" Zhao Xiaokun shouted loudly.
