Ji Changze washed his hands and went out. Taking two steps forward, he could hear Zhou's mother talking softly to her daughter.
"I'm not telling him to work hard and be serious, just show off, and don't fish out there on the first day of work. There are employees all around, who can see clearly. Now your dad is in the hospital, in the company No one is watching, and as a member of our family, he is like this, so what does this make the employees below think?"
Zhou's mother sighed as she spoke: "Ran Ran, it's not that I don't want Nagasawa to join the company. It's just that he doesn't take it seriously when he looks like this. Do you know what people in the company say in private? There are all kinds of unpleasant things to say, and He said he bought his degree."
Zhou Ranran looked a little embarrassed. She was not angry with her husband. Instead, she apologized to Zhou's mother on behalf of Ji Changze: "I'm sorry, Mom. He may be a little unaccustomed to not going to work for a long time. I will tell him properly."
Ji Changze was not surprised that Zhou Ranran would speak for him.
After all, the original owner behaved one way outside, and behaved another way to Zhou Ranran when he returned home.
It’s not like I’ve never been to the company before. The original owner didn’t want to work anymore because he felt the position was too low. When he came back, he followed Zhou Ranran and made nonsense, saying that everyone in the company looked down on him, especially the shareholders.
They all felt that he only got into the company because of his wife. He was sitting around in the company and being bullied, so how could he have the energy to work well
The original owner also took note of Zhou Ranran's soft temper. The shareholders were all uncles who had watched her grow up and loved her very much, and her husband was the one who fell in love with her and knew that they would spend the rest of their lives together in the future.
Caught in the middle, she was in a dilemma. It was unrealistic to question those shareholders. Without mentioning their feelings, she only said that her father was ill at that time. The company's operation mostly relied on these shareholders. Even if she didn't understand the company's affairs, I also know that there will definitely be conflicts with shareholders at this time.
So, I had no choice but to persuade my husband to resign.
In this way, the original owner smoothly changed from "I don't want to do it anymore" to "I have to resign for the sake of my wife."
Not only can he continue to stay at home and eat soft food, but he can also feel guilty about Zhou Ranran, which makes him feel happy.
Now that his father has finally recovered from his illness and is in the hospital after a car accident, his mother can only force herself to take charge of the overall situation. Her husband is acting the same as last time. Zhou Ranran will naturally think that her husband has been wronged in the company again. That's why.
Her temperament would not cause trouble for her mother at this time, so she could only speak to her husband here and comfort her carefully there.
But it is true that shareholders look down on the original owner.
They all felt that the original owner was just a freeloader. If he liked painting, it was just an excuse, and his painting was not very good. If he really liked painting so much, how could he have stayed at home for so long without making any achievements.
Either he is mediocre and wants to eat soft food, or he is mediocre and wants to eat soft food.
—Though they didn’t say any of this.
Ji Changze deliberately coughed as he walked over. Zhou Ranran and Zhou's mother over there immediately stopped continuing the topic.
"Mom, eat fruit."
Ji Changze first took out a tissue and wiped his hands, then naturally took an orange and handed it to Zhou's mother.
Asked: "Isn't the company very busy these days? Why are you here?"
At first, Zhou's mother felt a little guilty because she had just spoken ill of her son-in-law to her daughter behind her back. But now she saw Ji Changze looking so calm, lowering his head and carefully peeling the oranges, looking like An Ran as if nothing had happened, and she suddenly felt angry. .
"Why am I here? It's not because of you."
Zhou's mother was originally a good-tempered person, but ever since her husband's accident, accidents began to happen one after another in the company, which made her very anxious. She had hardly had a good rest for so many days.
Zhou Ranran was weak when she was a child and could not expend too much energy. She and Zhou's father never thought about letting her inherit the company. They just wanted to find a reliable person to be the CEO in the future and give him shares. Her daughter would just sit back and wait for the money. That's it.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Zhou's father, who was still in good health before, suddenly fell ill.
After finally recovering from his illness, he suddenly got into a car accident.
The chairman of the board has fallen, shareholders don't hold many shares, and people in the company are panicking, who dares to take over this mess.
Zhou's mother could only force herself to take over, and she didn't ask her son-in-law for help at this time.
Don't hold back.
Even if you are really mediocre and have no ability, you can still go to work and show off.
He insisted on painting at work, which caused a lot of discussion in the company.
The more Zhou’s mother thought about it, the angrier she became. She threw away the orange and stood up:
"Nagaze, our family is not kind to you, right? Now that the company is in such a mess, we have arranged for you to go to work. You clearly know that the employees below are in chaos. By doing things at this time, aren't you clearly setting a bad example for them? ??”
Seeing that she wanted to hit someone, Zhou Ranran quickly stood up and pulled her: "Mom, don't be impulsive. Nagasawa didn't mean it."
Ji Changze was still sitting there, looking up at his mother-in-law: "I did it on purpose."
Zhou Ranran was stunned and turned to look at her husband: "Nagaze?"
A smile appeared on Ji Changze's face, he stood up slowly, put the peeled orange into his wife's hand, and said warmly: "I'll explain to mom, you go upstairs to rest first."
Zhou Ranran looked at him hesitantly, then at his mother.
Zhou's mother was still angry. When she saw this, she laughed angrily: "Okay, Ran Ran, you go upstairs. I want to hear his reasons for doing this on the first day of work."
Seeing that Zhou Ranran still looked hesitant, Ji Changze reached out and touched her head gently: "Be good, go ahead."
Zhou Ranran nodded and went upstairs.
Mother Zhou watched her daughter go upstairs before sitting on the sofa again: "Tell me, let me see what you say, you are the one who is going to work in the company, and you are the one who doesn't do well when you get to the company, Ji Changze, After all, you are a graduate of C university, and your grades were pretty good at first, so you can’t even do such a small thing, right?”
This is true, but it is precisely because the original owner felt that he was born in C, and now that his father-in-law is lying in the hospital, he is not given a high position, and he is angry and deliberately causes trouble.
But of course Ji Changze couldn't say that. He still had that smile on his face and responded warmly:
"What mom said is that of course I can't even do such a small thing."
I really couldn’t do it well. I haven’t read or recalled it for several years, and I have long forgotten it all.
"I did deliberately draw while working, and I also deliberately let others see it. I also deliberately let everyone in the company know that I don't do my job well."
"you!"
Zhou's mother's face was suddenly full of anger, and she stood up again: "What do you mean?? Are you deliberately making trouble?!"
"Mom, please don't be angry. Have you ever thought about why I didn't say I was going to work for so long? As soon as Dad fell down, I suddenly asked to go to the company?"
Zhou's mother's first reaction was that this boy wanted to seek power while his father-in-law was away.
It's not her conspiracy theory, but Ji Changze's self-righteous attitude since he and Zhou Ranran got married really makes it hard to believe his character.
She didn't say what she was thinking, but snorted coldly: "How do I know what you think."
Ji Changze took another orange and peeled it slowly while looking up at his mother-in-law with a smile:
"Zhou's equity is divided into five parts, three shareholders, scattered shares, dad's hand, mom's hand, and Ranran's hand."
He separated the peeled oranges into five segments and placed them one by one on the table.
The slender fingers that were well-maintained due to long-term eating of soft food touched the orange represented on the far left and pushed it aside:
"The shareholders don't have a lot of shares."
He moved to the second orange segment and pushed it away again: "The possibility of integrating individual stocks is too low."
The third petal: "Dad is in a coma now. It seems to outsiders that he is not sure whether he can wake up. Moreover, whether dad has a will has not been made public. No one knows what is written in his will."
The third orange segment was also pushed over.
"leftover."
Ji Changze clicked on the remaining two orange segments and looked at Zhou's mother: "You and Ran Ran are the only ones left."
Mother Zhou frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Now that the chairman is unconscious, the employees below are definitely not thinking about praying that the chairman will wake up soon, but are preparing for the worst, thinking about what they will do if the company cannot survive? Should they want to change jobs, or ride a horse? The donkey looks for the horse, and he goes to work while looking for a job.”
Ji Changze asked: "During this period, have a lot of people from the Zhou family resigned?"
Zhou's mother glanced at her son-in-law up and down suspiciously, but finally nodded.
"They left because they felt that the company was not stable and that dad might not be able to wake up. Mom, please don't worry. As a family, of course we hope that dad can wake up, but employees are different."
"It is said that the company is home, but in fact, don't employees just work for money? Who will really stick to the company? Most people will get out of the company as soon as they find something is wrong. Now that Dad is like this, for employees, the company will fall behind in the future. It’s hard to say who will get it.”
"And in their eyes, this company is now just two people trying to rob it."
He held an orange in his left hand and an orange in his right, and handed them to Zhou's mother: "You and Ran Ran."
Zhou's mother was confused: "But Ran Ran is the only daughter of me and her father. We have only one daughter in this life. Aren't everything that belongs to me and her father belong to her??"
"That's what you think, others may not."
Ji Changze took the orange that represented Zhou Ranran and put it in his hand: "You also know a lot of people. In this circle, how many people are just for money, father and son turn against each other, husband and wife play chess, and brothers kill each other. No, our family knows about our own affairs, and we know that you and dad care about Ran Ran, but others don't know."
"Even if you say it, they may not believe it."
He pointed at himself: "I don't have any shares, but I am Ran Ran's husband. In the eyes of others, we are one. Ran Ran is not in good health and has not shown up in the company. At this time, I am representing her. I If I join the company when you are there and express how useless I am, it means that our lineage is completely incomparable with you."
Watching the expression on Zhou's mother's face gradually change from anger to suspicion, then from suspicion to thoughtfulness, and then to sudden realization.
Ji Changze threw the orange slice representing Zhou Ranran into his mouth and ate it in several bites, then pointed to the orange slice in front of Zhou's mother:
"Now, in the eyes of others, the only thing that counts in the company is your words."
"Only when the company has only one person in power and doesn't have to worry about internal fights within the company can the employees below feel at ease."
"Otherwise, people will think that our company is without an owner and we don't need others to fight against us. Our employees will have to find another home. If the employees in a company are separated, the company will also be separated."
Mother Zhou looked down at the orange for a while, then slowly raised her face, with a brand-new gaze, looking at this person whom she always thought was the only face she could see. Although she graduated from C University, she had no ability at all. son in law.
"So you asked to join the company and deliberately drew during work hours just to let others know that you are a idiot?"
Ji Changze smiled nonchalantly: "If I were not a fool, as the son-in-law of the Zhou family, some people would not look down on me, but would please me and gather around me to encourage me to fight with you."
Zhou’s mother: “Then you don’t have to join the company in the first place.”
"If I don't join the company, the chances of others seeing me as a fool are 50-50. But if I join the company, it's 100%."
Mother Zhou looked at Ji Changze with more and more complicated eyes.
"But do you know what others say about you behind your back?"
Ji Changze shook his head and smiled, with the four characters Feng Qingyun Dan written all over his face.
"They said it would be fine if I didn't listen, and I wouldn't lose a piece of meat."
Mother Zhou: "But they all regard you as that kind of person."
"People live in this world just for themselves and their families. What those irrelevant people think of me has nothing to do with me."
After saying this, Zhou's mother looked at Ji Changze with a look that was not only complex but also a little appreciative.
She originally thought that Ran Ran was just looking at her face.
Unexpectedly, my daughter has such good taste.
Ji Changze was obviously capable, but he was willing to hide and act like a fool for the sake of her daughter.
She wouldn't believe it if he said it wasn't true love.
She stood up straight and bowed solemnly to Ji Changze.
When his son-in-law hurriedly came to help him, he refused to straighten up. Instead, he maintained this posture and solemnly apologized to him:
"I'm sorry Nagasawa, I misunderstood you."
"Thank you for painting while working in the company. Thank you very much. I still blame you. I really shouldn't have done it."
"Mom, don't say that."
Ji Changze quickly helped the person up, with sincere eyes and sincere words: "I really like painting, really!!"
"I know, I know how much you have paid for Ran Ran. I have really wronged you for so long."
Mother Zhou patted Ji Changze’s arm and looked at him with eyes full of appreciation and love:
"Don't worry, I understand your good intentions. When we get through this, when Ranran's father wakes up, and the company stabilizes, we will clear your name immediately!!"
Ji Changze quickly refused: "I really don't need it, I just like to draw. I don't like working in a company."
Suddenly, Zhou's mother looked at him with a gentle and loving look.
In order to help them stabilize the Zhou family.
Although he obviously has such abilities and insights, he still pretends that he only likes painting.
He is a good man, but he has to make himself miserable.
You even have to feel sorry for yourself and not work during working hours.
How could there be such a good son-in-law in this world
