After lunch, Lin Xiaozhu didn't seem to be in a hurry to go to work. After ordering a fruit plate, he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law. Actually, I have always wanted to discuss something with you. But I was afraid that you would scold me, so I never dared to say it."
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it. As long as it doesn't harm nature, my brother-in-law will definitely support you."
What else is this little girl going to do
"It's so unreasonable. Am I such an unreliable person?" Lin Xiaozhu rolled his eyes angrily and curled his lips. "I just want to discuss with my brother-in-law whether I can switch jobs and come to your Xinao?"
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his scalp immediately went numb and he said: "You are doing well at Lin's, why do you want to switch jobs and come to our Xinao?"
What's this? I didn’t work in my father’s company, so I came to work in my sister’s and brother-in-law’s company. It would be embarrassing for Old Yao Lin to tell you this. People think you look down on me.
"Sigh. It's a long story. All in all, I feel that working at Lin's is too tiring. Every day is full of intrigues and intrigues. Especially recently, there have been frequent major adjustments within the company. Even the chairman of Jufeng Network like Hu Yishan has left. I came to work in the Internet Department. There are so many dark clouds in the company, how can there be a working atmosphere? They are all trying to figure out what they want and go their own way." Lin Xiaozhu sighed softly and said quite helplessly. "As for me, right now I just want to practice my business skills. I don't have the inclination to fight with others."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he smiled, shook his head and said, "Your working hours are still short, so I don't know what the situation is like in each company." After a pause, Xiao Zheng added. "Brother-in-law, let's not mention the current horrific situation of Jufeng Network. Let's just talk about our ENN. Do you think we are really harmonious and there is no internal fighting? Take brother-in-law as an example, how many people are eyeing my position and trying to pull me down? Of course. It's definitely impossible to pull me down. After all, we are our own business. But there are still many factions down there. Each one is fighting? Sometimes in order to grab money, they openly bang the table in the office to protest. That is also common. It’s a matter of fact. The subordinates below are even encouraging the leaders to climb up. Fighting a bloody path also gives them a greater voice."
The more Lin Xiaozhu listened, the deeper his frown deepened: "Is it so scary?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Zheng said angrily. "Wherever there are people, there will be these messy things. Except for family members, who would wear the same pants with others? Sometimes even family members have all kinds of calculations."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said: "Xiao Zhu, it's not my brother-in-law who is criticizing you. Your sister will definitely not inherit the future Lin family. Who will your father hand over the power to? Isn't it you?"
Lin Xiaozhu was stunned: "Why don't you exhaust me to death?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Who told you to be Lin Chaotian's daughter? Who told you to have a competitive sister?"
After a pause, Xiao Zheng said meaningfully: "Xiao Zhu, it's not that we can't have emotions. Once we have emotions, let's just vent them out. It's also that we can't have complaints, whether it's against the company or your father. What's wrong with that? If you are happy, you can talk to your brother-in-law. But don’t really think about something as big as changing jobs. Let’s not talk about your father who won’t let me go. Just talk about your sister, I’m afraid she won’t agree to it. come over."
"Sister, do you look down on my ability?" Lin Xiaozhu curled his lips.
"Your sister doesn't want you to break up with your father." Xiao Zheng suddenly emphasized his tone.
Lin Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
"Not only must you understand it, but you must also strictly implement it." Xiao Zheng said seriously. "Some things, once you cross the line, there's no turning back."
Lin Xiaozhu shook his head like a rattle: "Okay, okay. Brother-in-law, you are so annoying. You keep talking endlessly."
Xiao Zheng smiled, couldn't help but flick the little girl's forehead, and scolded her with a smile: "I don't know how to respect my brother-in-law at all."
Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is so grand, he can't be as knowledgeable as a little girl, can he?"
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes: "Next time if you are naughty, I won't spank you."
After finishing the conversation with his sister-in-law, Xiao Zheng originally wanted to take a bus back to the company. But unexpectedly received a phone call. It was Shang Yao who called.
"Hello. Boss Xiao, are you free? I'm having tea at Longfeng Tower." Shang Yao's uncalm voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I am coming over now."
Shang Yao obviously did not go to the Three Treasures Palace for any reason. They all went straight to the Dragon Phoenix Tower, presumably because they had something important to discuss with Xiao Zheng.
Arriving at Longfeng Tower, Xiao Zheng rushed to the box. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shang Yao sitting on a chair drinking tea.
She stayed alone in the room, with a slightly solemn expression on her face. The red lips were pursed slightly, looking very uneasy.
"What's wrong with Miss Shang?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Shang Yao has always been calm and sophisticated. No matter what happens, he has the air of a general who is calm in the face of danger, but this time he rarely showed signs of anxiety. I was also slightly confused in my heart.
Shang Yao put down the tea cup, his eyes slightly solemn: "My father mentioned something to me last night. I'm still not sure what to do. So I want to listen to Boss Xiao's opinion."
"Didn't your father take a back seat? Why are you still interfering in your decision-making?" Xiao Zheng didn't ask about the matter first, but asked Shang Jingtian.
Although Shang Jingtian's reason for retiring to the second line is very good, it is not like the consistent style of this ten thousand-year-old second-in-command. Xiao Zheng also never believed that this old fox would really retire.
When something went wrong this time, Xiao Zheng was more concerned about Shang Jingtian's starting point rather than the specific incident.
"Father has indeed taken a back seat. But after all, he has rich experience, and I can't completely resist." Shang Yao sighed softly. Said slowly. "To be honest with Mr. Xiao, although my father has retired, how can those old officials of the business completely obey my orders? It's okay for small things, but they involve larger interests. I still have to go to my father's side. He Without nodding, it would be difficult for me to execute.”
"I understand." Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile. "My father pushed you out, just using your relationship as a shield to help the merchants land safely, right? As for his so-called retirement, he just upgraded to the Supreme Emperor. Continue to control the merchants' business remotely?"
"It's not as exaggerated as Boss Xiao said." Shang Yao shook his head gently and explained. "Most of the business decisions are currently in my hands. But my father will indeed intervene in some of the bigger decisions. The reason is that he is afraid that I will take the wrong path."
Smiling, Shang Yao asked: "This is probably the mentality of all the big shots who have just retired, right? There may not be any conspiracy."
Xiao Zheng heard this and had no defensible reason to object.
Indeed, it does not matter whether the big shots retire voluntarily or are forced to retire. Seeing the younger generation gradually taking power, how can you feel completely at ease? There is always a transitional stage, and you must stand up to protect it. It is impossible not to really care about worldly affairs.
Be it Ye Gong or Bai Zhengqing. There was such a transitional period back then.
After a brief pause, Xiao Zheng finally brought the topic to the main line: "Then what happened this time that caused your father and daughter to have a disagreement?"
"I want to increase investment in the entertainment industry. My father thinks it's not advisable to make rash progress." Shang Yao pursed her lips and said. "He said he didn't trust Linghu Zhu."
