At noon, Jiang Xiaomei appeared in the company office, looking listless. It was as if she had lost all her energy and spirit, as if the cheerful Jiang Xiaomei had suddenly disappeared. Zhao Xiaokun sighed and said, "I know everything about what's going on at home! Calm down! If you have anything to say, wait until Xiaofei comes back!"
"Brother Xiaokun! It's okay, work is important. Let's hand over the work first, and then I'll leave!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Xiaomei! I don't mean to drive you away! The company needs you to take good care of it. We have to overcome many difficulties together. And when Xiaofei and I are not around, the company needs you to take charge." Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Do you also want to go to northern Myanmar with Xiaofei?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"Not just northern Myanmar, but many other places. Both domestically and internationally! Xiaofei and I are planning to open another branch in Nanjing, or perhaps a trading company. We're planning to make machinery, steel raw materials, medical pharmaceuticals, and food processing. I plan to make the company more comprehensive and diversified. Of course, we'll mainly target small African countries," Zhao Xiaokun said. These were all necessary tasks for him to use his time travel to help the Ming Dynasty. He said this in the hope that Jiang Xiaomei would be interested. With her managing the company, he and Xiaofei felt more at ease.
"Brother Xiaokun! Your business is a bit too big! But it has nothing to do with me. Take care of yourselves in the future!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"The company can't do without you! Let me give you a few days off! Take your mother on a trip abroad. When you've had enough fun, come back to work!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Brother Xiaokun! I can't and am not qualified to stay in the company anymore!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Even if we take a step back and let you and my brother not become husband and wife, the three of us are still playmates since childhood, right? We two brothers started a company and we trust no one but you! The company needs people like you. You're here! We two brothers are at ease," said Zhao Xiaokun.
Jiang Xiaomei didn't say anything, but picked up the phone and asked Qin Baobao to come upstairs. After Qin Baobao came in, he asked, "Mr. Jiang! Mr. Zhao! What's going on?"
"Let all the current supervisors of the company go to the conference room for a meeting! Right now!" Jiang Xiaomei said this with great momentum.
"Okay! I'll get ready right away!" Qin Baobao felt that the atmosphere was not right and planned to leave quickly. When she reached the door, Jiang Xiaomei said to Qin Baobao: "Don't fall in love with my brother! He will soon be nothing!"
"Boss Jiang, I didn't..." Qin Baobao was about to explain, but Zhao Xiaokun said, "Go get ready first! We'll talk about this later."
"Oh!" Qin Baobao agreed and left.
After a while, Qin Baobao came in and said to Jiang Xiaomei and Zhao Xiaokun, "Mr. Zhao! Mr. Jiang! Everyone is waiting in the conference room!"
"Okay! Let's go now!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
In the conference room, dozens of pairs of eyes watched Zhao Xiaokun and Jiang Xiaomei walk in. They didn't know the man who walked in, but from his appearance, they knew at a glance the relationship between this man and Mr. Zhao.
Zhao Xiaokun glanced at everyone, stood up, and said, "Hello everyone! Some of you may or may not know me, but let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Xiaokun, and I'm the older brother of your boss, Zhao Xiaofei. From now on, I'll be managing the company as its Executive Director. Boss Jiang needs to rest for a while due to health reasons, so I'll need your cooperation for the time being! Thank you all!"
As soon as the words fell, some in the audience applauded, while others murmured. But it didn't matter. The people who had previously been poached from Rongbaotang were even less concerned; it was a family business after all. "We only care about our own income; who makes that chair is none of their business."
At this time, Jiang Xiaomei stood up and said to everyone, "I want to correct Mr. Zhao's mistake! I'm not feeling unwell, I'm resigning! Boss Zhao Xiaofei and I are no longer engaged. I will leave the company after handing over to Director Zhao Xiaokun! I'd like to thank everyone for their help and cooperation during this time."
Zhao Xiaokun was very unhappy when he heard this, and his face fell immediately. He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said to the others, "Let's adjourn first! I will talk to you all individually later!"
When everyone else had left, Zhao Xiaokun asked, "Why did you say that? Is it necessary? Are you planning to block all your escape routes?"
"Can I still stay here? Do you think it's necessary for me to stay? Brother Xiaokun, I just want to pay off the debt and change the environment!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Pay back the money? I didn't ask you to pay it back! Okay! Even if you pay it back, what will you use? Sell the house? Where will your mother and brother live after you sell the house? Will they go to Miyun? Pinggu? Or Yanqing, Huairou? Will you have a chance to move back after you sell the house?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"I must pay it back! I will pay it back no matter what! My Jiang family doesn't want to live our whole lives owing others money. We will feel uneasy!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"You mean you have no dignity if you can't pay back the money? Ridiculous! There are many ways to pay back the money, such as continuing to work for us. You can pay back your monthly salary in more than three years. Besides, an executive like you can't even get a monthly salary, right? Can you pay off the debt in a year? I advise you not to think about selling the house. That's unrealistic! If you want to be even with our family, no one owes anyone anything. Just work to pay it back!" Zhao Xiaokun persuaded earnestly.
"Brother Xiaokun! You have a good idea! But can your aunt agree to it?" When Jiang Xiaomei said this, Zhao Xiaokun knew there was a chance.
"What I mean is, you go to Nanjing and help us set up the branch, recruit people, buy a house, and handle the qualifications. It all depends on you. I will transfer the funds to you! Is that okay with you?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
