BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1310 - 1310 Plead
She naturally leaned her head on the old man’s arm and said coquettishly, “It’s cold, and I can’t sleep well. My skin has worsened.”
“It’s that tough? Then don’t do it. It’s enough that you’ve tried something fresh.” When the old man heard this, he couldn’t help but feel heartache for his granddaughter.
How could a child of the Jian family suffer like this?
!!
When Qiao Shuyi heard this, she couldn’t help but smile helplessly. “Dad, you’re spoiling Yiyi too much. She’s not a child anymore. How can she give up on her decision so quickly? Moreover, after signing the contract, if you really want to withdraw, you have to pay the penalty fee.”
“Then we’ll pay. Can’t we afford this penalty fee?” The old man said seriously. Those who didn’t know would think that Jian Yiyi was going to terminate the contract.
Qiao Shuyi smiled helplessly and shook her head. “This isn’t about money, Dad…”
“Grandpa!” Jian Yiyi smiled. “I’m just complaining. Do you think I really want to terminate the contract? I don’t want to. I like this line of work. I won’t give up easily.”
The old man widened his eyes. “You’re not giving up even though it’s so tough?”
Jian Yiyi nodded hard. “I won’t give up. Of course, I won’t give up what I like.”
When the old man heard this, he couldn’t help but stroke Jian Yiyi’s head with a loving smile. “You’re as stubborn as your father. You’ve never suffered since you were young, but you can still tolerate this!”
“Alright, since you like it, Grandpa and Grandma support it. When the movie is released later, our family will watch it.”
At this moment, Jian Changyuan’s wife, Lili, couldn’t help but say, “Yiyi has been sensible since she was young. She’s so young, but she already has a goal she wants to work hard for. This is a good thing. Brother and Sister-in-law know how to teach children. Yiyi and Yichen are so obedient and sensible.”
“Look at my Tongtong again. He’s mischievous every day and isn’t serious in his studies. How worrying!”
Qiao Shuyi sat at the side and smiled when she heard this. “Tongtong is still young, and how can boys not be naughty? I hope Yichen can be as lively as Tongtong. It’s always good for boys to be more fun-loving.”
“He’s not young anymore. He’ll be twelve years old after the New Year,” Lili said.
The family sat on the sofa and chatted. The old man called Jian Changsheng and Jian Changyuan to the study upstairs.
On the wooden sofa, the brothers couldn’t help but look at each other. They could tell that the old man had something to say, but they didn’t know what he wanted to say.
The old man sat opposite them and sighed softly. Then, he looked at Jian Changsheng and said slowly, “Changsheng, Dad knows that it’s a joyous occasion today. I shouldn’t have mentioned these things that made us unhappy.”
“But this is indeed Dad’s worry. If we don’t resolve it, Dad won’t feel at ease.”
Unlike his disappointed and bossy attitude, the old man spoke in an extremely soft tone this time. This made Jian Changsheng subconsciously frown. He already had a premonition.
As expected, the old man said, “Secretary Wang and the rest are waiting for my news. Almost half a year has passed. I have to give them an explanation.”
“I instructed them to do what happened before. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Secretary Wang and the rest are all elders of the Jian Group. They worked hard for the Jian Group for half their lives. You can’t kick them all out just because of a thought of mine.”
Jian Changsheng frowned even more. He thought he had already expressed this matter very clearly. What they had done behind his back as the company’s CEO was his bottom line. He had always emphasized his principles. Some things could not be forgiven.
Without waiting for Jian Changsheng to speak, the old man continued, “You can be angry at Dad, but think about it. Why is Dad targeting East Sea Real Estate? This small company has already reached such a scale in just a year. I heard that they have also entered the second round of bidding for South City’s reconstruction project. You should know now that Dad planned ahead because he saw this company’s unstoppable potential.”
“Dad!” Jian Changsheng said in a low voice, “I…”
However, as soon as he spoke, the old man interrupted him. “I know. You look down on my methods and think they’re dirty and shady. I know your character. You definitely can’t do these things, so Dad didn’t let you get involved, right?”
“From the time I established the Jian Group to handing it to you, I had my own set of competitive methods. Perhaps this crossed your bottom line, but Dad apologized to you. They only did those things because they listened to me. Why can’t you forgive them?”
Jian Changsheng sighed.
What he could not forgive was that these people listened to the old man. As the higher-ups of the Jian Group, the person they should have listened to should be him, not the old man.
“Brother, Dad already apologized to you. He also knows that there are some things he shouldn’t do behind your back. Uncle Wang and the rest are the backbone of the company. Without them, it’s a huge loss for the Jian Group. Why don’t you take a step back? For the company!” Jian Changyuan said.
Obviously, Jian Changyuan already knew the ins and outs of this matter. He was here to help the old man today.
Jian Changsheng sat on the sofa and fell into a dilemma. If the old man hadn’t pleaded again and again, he wouldn’t have wavered.
However, a long time had passed. In terms of punishment, this was already considered a punishment. However, because what had happened before had dealt a heavy blow to the Jian Group, this loss could not be made up. Jian Changsheng could not blame this on his father.
The only ones who could bear it were these people.
If they returned to the company now, what would the other higher-ups say about this?
After thinking about it, Jian Changsheng didn’t soften his heart. However, considering that it was New Year’s Day, he didn’t refuse the old man directly. He only said, “I’ll consider it.”
The old man knew Jian Changsheng the best. His words were just a stalling tactic. He probably already had an affirmative answer in his heart.
He knew his son’s temper very well, but because of this, his relationship with his son had already deteriorated. Therefore, even though he knew Jian Changsheng wouldn’t agree, the old man didn’t expose him.
He had already done his best. Since they could not return to the Ji Group, he could only compensate them in other ways.
Nodding, the old man sighed. “Alright, it’s good to consider it…”
