Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Time to Stir Things Up!

Since Lucas just said that Zhao Gushen couldn’t control his decision.

Then now, Lucas should not protest Changping’s approach.

Lucas’s face darkened, and he said, "Mr. Zhao, your actions are cutting off the possibility of future cooperation between us."

"Don’t people from Hua Country always say, ’Harmony brings wealth’?" Lucas said.

Zhao Gushen did not expect that Lucas actually had some understanding of Hua Country, even knowing the phrase ’Harmony brings wealth.’

Although when Lucas pronounced these four words, the tone was twisted, and the pronunciation was strange, Zhao Gushen indeed understood it.

But even though Lucas knew these four words ’Harmony brings wealth,’ didn’t he know that people from Hua Country are particularly united when dealing externally?

"Harmony brings wealth, but there must first be harmony. Harmony also requires mutual effort from both sides," Zhao Gushen said. "I haven’t felt any harmony or sincerity from you, so we at Changping won’t be the ones to take the loss."

Do you think this is the past?

Thinking you need to beg them to cooperate?

Lucas took a deep breath, angry, "What do I need to do to make you satisfied?"

"We had Zhuang Mingyan apologize and arranged to transfer her, and still you’re not satisfied. What do you need to be satisfied?" Lucas asked.

"Our company raised questions on Weibo, which I think you’ve seen," Zhao Gushen said. "One of them was asking whether after transferring Zhuang Mingyan, would she be brought back in the future? Or is she going to stay in that position permanently?"

Lucas: "..."

Of course, their plan was to wait until the situation calmed down before transferring Zhuang Mingyan to a better position.

After all, she could still be useful.

"So, it’s better not to use these verbal traps. It’s not like we can’t see through them," Zhao Gushen said.

Lucas now dared not promise Zhao Gushen anything.

For example, making a direct promise not to transfer Zhuang Mingyan back to any important position.

What if Zhao Gushen recorded this?

"Moreover, are you sure you want us to become enemies because of Zhuang Mingyan?" Zhao Gushen said. "Even if we cannot be friends, is it really necessary to become adversarial over Zhuang Mingyan?"

Lucas thought, this applies to you too!

Is it necessary to bother us over just one Zhuang Mingyan?

"Even if our relationship is average, having one less enemy is still a good thing, isn’t it?" Zhao Gushen added.

Lucas countered, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean? What should we do for you to be satisfied?"

"That depends on your sincerity, rather than what I’m demanding," Zhao Gushen said.

Lucas laughed angrily.

He coldly said, "Then I can only get back to you later."

"By tomorrow," Zhao Gushen said. "I want a final answer."

Lucas held back anger, "Okay."

After hanging up, Lucas was furious in the office, shouting to himself, "Too arrogant! So disdainful!"

"Who does he think he is! Dares to be so arrogant towards me!" Lucas raged, "He knows this is just about Zhuang Mingyan. Does he really want to offend our entire Mo Kailisfu Group?"

After venting, the anger hadn’t completely dissipated.

Lucas called the secretary-general in.

"Our handling of Zhuang Mingyan is not satisfactory to Zhao Gushen!" Lucas said.

The secretary-general had naturally seen the content Changping posted on Weibo.

"What does he want? Really thinks we’re afraid of him?" The secretary-general frowned.

"Lucas, what’s your thought?" The secretary-general asked again.

"Let’s have a senior meeting," Lucas said. "Now I too cannot determine whether Zhao Gushen would really do something to us over Zhuang Mingyan."

"He shouldn’t be so irrational," the secretary-general said. "If that’s the case, being so capricious, Changping couldn’t have developed to this extent. Who would allow someone to become a CEO that messes around based on personal feelings?"

"It’s basically a gamble now, gambling on whether he’s bluffing," Lucas said. "But none of us can be sure. We can’t make this decision just by ourselves; we still need to have the senior team decide."

"If we gamble that he dares, then we can only abandon Zhuang Mingyan. As Zhao Gushen seems intent on pursuing Zhuang Mingyan," Lucas said. "If we gamble that he’s only bluffing, then we keep supporting Zhuang Mingyan, but whatever the decision, it must be made by everyone together."

"Alright." The secretary-general nodded.

However, the other company executives obviously had similar thoughts as Lucas and the secretary-general.

Believing Zhao Gushen was bluffing.

"We’ve given him enough face! We’ve already made concessions, he can’t keep pushing!"

"If we retreat as we assume, it seems like we’re afraid of him. But are we afraid of him? No, we’re not!"

"And if outsiders see us repeatedly yielding to Zhao Gushen, what will they think? They’ll believe we’re really inferior to his Changping."

"This situation cannot recede, retreating will let others laugh at us. Moreover, we didn’t do anything wrong, we’ve already shown our sincerity and goodwill. If he doesn’t appreciate it, that’s his problem. We’re not inferior to him in any way, we can’t do whatever Zhao Gushen says we have to. He’s not our boss!"

Everyone unanimously insisted on the original approach, determined not to show weakness to Zhao Gushen.

Lucas nodded, and said, "Then we’ve reached a consensus and will decide as such."

Back in the office, Lucas decided not to directly contact Zhao Gushen anymore.

It made it seem like he was reporting work to Zhao Gushen repeatedly, which was simply too degrading.

He directly asked the secretary-general to contact Xiao Ruofeng.

It should be the subordinates who handle such matters.

Xiao Ruofeng received the call from the secretary-general and learned of Mo Kailisfu Group’s final decision, not getting angry at all, but rather very pleased.

Now’s the chance to stir things up!

"Okay." Xiao Ruofeng responded to the secretary-general, naturally not exposing his happiness.

He only replied politely, "I understand. I will report the matter truthfully to our CEO. Thank you for this call, goodbye."

Once the call was ended, Xiao Ruofeng enthusiastically knocked on Zhao Gushen’s office door.

"Come in," Zhao Gushen said without looking up.

After entering, Xiao Ruofeng quickly closed the door and briskly walked to Zhao Gushen’s desk: "CEO, they really refused to give in, so now we can stir things up!"

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"Ahem!" Zhao Gushen cleared his throat, glared at Xiao Ruofeng, "What do you mean by stirring things up, we are properly safeguarding our legitimate rights and interests."

"Yes!" Xiao Ruofeng nodded heavily, indicating he fully agreed with Zhao Gushen’s words.
