73 -73: Rong Shaoze Lost His Job
Grandfather put a lot of effort into “Shengjue”; it has a very special meaning to him.
It can be said that “Shengjue” is Grandfather’s most beloved child, everything else comes second to it.
I’ve always been very flamboyant in my actions, and Grandfather has been worried since early on that the company would be ruined by my hands, so he had been thinking of a solution.
Now he has found someone who can manage Shengjue even better, and that person is also his ideal candidate.
Do you think he wouldn’t make a decision?
It doesn’t matter whether I care or not; after all, no one can change Grandfather’s decision.”
“So you’re just going to accept it?” Lin Xinlan asked casually.
Rong Shaoze smiled wickedly, “Are you worried that I will lose my job and won’t be able to support you in the future?
Woman, rest assured, even if I lose the company, I won’t be so poor that I’d let you starve.”
She was just asking casually, how did he come to think of all that?
Lin Xinlan silently shifted her gaze and said indifferently, “That’s your family matter, I can’t interfere.
Let’s drive, I want to go back.”
Rong Shaoze thought she didn’t believe him, he turned her head, locking eyes with her, “What, don’t you trust your man’s abilities?”
Lin Xinlan froze, such self-reference from Rong Shaoze stirred something inexplicable in her heart.
She uneasily lowered her eyes, unnaturally saying, “Of course I believe you have the ability to make money, I just don’t think it’s appropriate for me to meddle in your family affairs, after all, we’re just in a marriage of convenience, aren’t we?”
A strange complexity flashed in the man’s eyes, suddenly he smiled and nodded, “That’s also true.”
The car started, and neither of them spoke again.
Lin Xinlan looked out the window, feeling a faint sense of panic.
How she wished her state of mind could remain as it was at the beginning, with no changes at all…
Rong Guangguo acted quickly, and Shaoze was soon removed from the position of CEO, to be replaced by his cousin before long.
The case of Zhou Yun’s suicide was temporarily suppressed, and with Shaoze’s dismissal, “Shengjue’s” reputation was completely preserved.
Shaoze, jobless, became a complete idler.
But the outside world continued to speculate whether he would contract AIDS.
The test report would take another two weeks to come out, and during this time, Shaoze could only stay at home, trying to go out as little as possible.
Once the results were out and his innocence proven, he could attend any event with dignity and pride.
Shaoze’s mother had accepted the fact that her nephew would take over as CEO, but that did not mean she would compromise.
After two days of thought, she went to the villa, determined to tell Shaoze her plan.
The two went to the study, and when Lin Xinlan brought in the tea, she overheard their conversation.
“Mom, is this really the solution you’ve come up with?”
Shaoze’s mother nodded affirmatively, “Exactly.
Your negative publicity is too much, and it’s likely unsuitable to divorce in the coming years.
Since you can’t divorce, you and Xinlan should have a child sooner.
Grandfather fired you because he felt guilty over that man; once you have a child, he will naturally rely on you more.”
“With a child, your social image will also improve a lot.
Then, we can devise a plan to frame your cousin, and even if he doesn’t want to, he will have to relinquish the CEO position!”
Shaoze laughed, “Mom, how did you come up with this idea?
Isn’t this a bit childish?”
His mother glared at him, “What do you know!
Don’t you understand yet, the thing Grandfather values most is reputation, whoever has a good reputation, he lets them control Shengjue.
What you need to do now is to improve your reputation!”
“Alright, let’s say what you are saying is true.
But when you suggested that I marry Lin Xinlan in the first place, that wasn’t what you said.
