Guo Ming laughed dryly. “That employee is a gambler. He made some mistakes and was taken away by the police. Please calm down. I will definitely improve the management of the employees in the future.”
Hu Hao sat down slowly, his chest heaving up and down.
Hu Hao didn’t have any children, so he always treated Guo Ming as his own son. Guo Ming’s father had passed away a long time ago, thus he felt sorry for the child who had no one to rely on, so he was willing to help him.
When Guo Ming was able to handle the affairs of the group himself, he pushed Guo Ming to the position of chairman. He had taken good care of Guo Ming for so many years but didn’t expect the latter to be so useless.
“I know you’re good to me. Please don’t fuss about these small things,” Guo Ming pleaded. “You and my father were such good friends back then. He didn’t want to see me disappoint you.”
When Guo Ming made Hu Hao angry, he would bring up the friendship between Hu Hao and his father.
Hu Hao was so angry that he blew air at his beard and glared at him. “If you were half as capable as your father, I wouldn’t be so angry.”
Hu Hao was now hoping that Guo Hu could graduate from university as soon as possible to take over the company. He had a feeling that if Guo Ming was allowed to continue running the company like this, the company would be destroyed sooner or later.
Thinking of this, the old man sighed heavily. “Think of a way to deal with this project yourself. If there are no new projects in the next quarter and the profit margin can’t meet the requirements, I can’t protect you anymore, understand?”
Guo Ming was slightly relieved when he heard Hu Hao’s softened tone. It seemed that he had survived. He could still try to find a project to make up for the deficit before the next season.
“Alright, I won’t let you down. Don’t worry.” Guo Ming quickly bowed and thanked him. “Uncle, do you want to have dinner at my house tonight? I’ll ask them to make your favorite boiled chicken.”
Hu Hao waved his hand. “You should settle the mess at home first.”
He stood up with the help of his walking stick and shuffled toward the door.
The door slammed shut behind him. The butler in a suit immediately came up and supported Hu Hao.
“Every time you go to talk to Mr. Ming, you’re always so tired,” the butler said.
Hu Hao shook his head and sighed. “This good-for-nothing has almost turned the Guo Group into a pot of porridge. When I die, I don’t even know how to explain it to his father.”
“Don’t worry. Guo Hu is much more reliable than his father. Just wait,” the butler comforted Hu Hao.
Hu Hao shook his head. “It’s useless. 1 don’t know how many years this company can last in Guo Ming’s hands. Who knows if it’ll be gone tomorrow?”
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “The girl we brought back from Dongshan is called Guo Miao.
“Our people have been paying attention to her for a while. She seems to have participated in many competitions and won some international awards. She’s even more outstanding than Young Master Hu.”
Hu Hao nodded. He thought for a moment and said slowly, “Keep an eye on her. Find a time to meet her.”
The butler understood and nodded. The two of them left the Guo Group together.
Guo Ming, who was sitting in the office, listened to the conversation between the two people through the earpiece and clenched his fists tightly. Uncle Hu actually wanted to hand the company over to that heartless child, Guo Miao.
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Just as he was about to make a call to his spy, his phone buzzed and vibrated. It was Cheng Yu.
He frowned and answered the call.
“Hubby, come back quickly. I don’t know why the police came to our house. Is our family going bankrupt?” Cheng Yu’s voice was laced with a crying tone, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.
Hearing Cheng Yu’s voice, Guo Ming felt a headache.
The recent mess in the company’s operations was also related to Cheng Yu.
Before Cheng Yu fell ill, she could still help him deal with the company’s affairs. Now, she could only lie sickly at home. It was a shame. The house was also a mess.
Guo Ming rubbed his forehead and pressed the call bell. A young girl in a professional suit walked in.
“President Guo, are you looking for me?”
Guo Ming frowned and asked, “Are you new?”
The young girl nodded. “I’m Lian Yin, the new office secretary.”
The young girl had a faint floral fragrance on her body and spoke softly, which comforted Guo Ming’s irritation.
“Get the driver ready. I’m going home now..”
