Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Joining the Company
“Yaoyao will soon have her finals, and vacation is just around the corner.”
Old Sir Zhong looked at Zhong Niangyao and started with a smile, “Speaking of which, Niangyao isn’t so young anymore. She only has two more years until graduation. It should be about ti for her to join the company!”
These words brought a montary pause to everyone present. However, in an instant, the atmosphere returned to normal.
“Dad, Niangyao is still young; there’s no need to have her face the pressures of work just yet!” Zheng Silin joked, “Moreover, as a young woman, even after she graduates, she could simply stay at ho, go shopping, and enjoy afternoon tea—how nice would that be!”
“Yes!” Zhong Minghao spoke up, “Moreover, ng Fan and ngxuan haven’t joined the company after their graduation. Isn’t it improper to have Niangyao join the company directly now?”
“Dad, we really aren’t in such a rush for this matter!” For once, Zhong Mingyu aligned with the premier branch, “Niangyao is a girl; she doesn’t need to have such a strong career drive. It’s more important for her to find a good family in the future.”
Today, Old Sir Zhong had suddenly suggested having Zhong Niangyao join the company, catching the first and second branches off guard. They couldn’t understand why Old Sir Zhong would suddenly think this way. But with the succession of the company a battle between the first and second branches, they were not keen on giving Niangyao a chance to interfere.
“Did I ask for your opinions?” Old Sir Zhong scanned the crowd with an unreadable expression, “Or are you actually opposing my suggestion now?”
“Dad, that’s absolutely not what we an,” Zhong Minghao spoke calmly, “but if we really arrange for Niangyao to join the company, then what about ng Fan and ngxuan—”
He, of course, had never planned to help Zhong ngxuan; it’s just that ntioning Zhong ngfan without involving Zhong ngxuan might seem a bit unfair.
“You’ve thought it through quite well!” Old Sir Zhong’s tone was slightly sarcastic as he looked at Zhong Minghao, “However, given ng Fan’s current situation, even if I wanted to give her a chance, could she join the company?”
This remark made the faces of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Silin turn sowhat unpleasant. At the sa ti, they also resented Zhong ngfan a bit. If it wasn’t for her involvent in that incident, she might have been able to join the company now, possibly securing an important position.
“Also, there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget.” Old Sir Zhong glanced at his two sons, “Niangyao is different from ng Fan and ngxuan; she is still a shareholder of the company. So what’s the problem with her doing an internship in the company?”
This set of remarks caused slight changes in the expressions of Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu.
They had almost forgotten about that point, asZhong Niangyao had never been interested in the company matters. But, rembering this made them both start scheming.
“Yaoyao, which departnt would you want to work in?” Old Sir Zhong once again looked at Zhong Niangyao tenderly, “I can find soone to guide you.”
“Grandfather, I can take Niangyao when the ti cos,” Zhong Jinghao adjusted his glasses and spoke with a gentle smile, “It’s indeed ti for her to get familiarized with the company’s business. I’ll do my best to help her, see if she can be fully acclimated during this sumr vacation.”
His words seed genuine, showing no opposition to Zhong Niangyao joining the company, but rather, he was eager to help.
Hearing Zhong Jinghao’s words, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Old Sir Zhong’s eyes, followed by a nod, “That’s good.”
“Niangyao is not that young anymore, and it is indeed ti to start considering these things.” Old Madam Zhong directly took Zhong Niangyao’s hand and asked with a smile, “So, Yaoyao, in which departnt do you want to work?”
“None.” Zhong Niangyao shook her head decisively, “I already have plans for this sumr vacation, so don’t you worry about . As for after graduation, I haven’t thought about joining the company. I’m happier being a happy shareholder who just takes the money.”
She didn’t know if she had any talent for business, but clearly, she had no interest in the company. Thus, she hadn’t planned on entering Zhong Family’s company.
She could see that both the first and second branches were against her joining the company. As for Zhong Jinghao, whether he was sincere or not, only he knew.
“What?” Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Old Sir Zhong frowned, “Yao Yao, exactly what are your plans for the sumr? Why don’t you want to join the company?”
“If you’re worried about being too tired, I can arrange an easy job for you!”
In fact, his decision to have Zhong Niangyao join the company wasn’t genuinely intended to make her a businesswoman. It was more about after that incident when the police ca asking for her assistance in an investigation—he just felt what she was involved in was too dangerous.
So, he thought of placing her in the company, even if in a minor role, just to ensure her safety.
“There’s no particular reason,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and then playfully held Old Sir Zhong’s hand, “Grandpa, I just want to be a freeloader! This sumr, I’ve already made plans with soone to go abroad for fun. As for the company, it would be fine with my two uncles and my older cousin handling it, I’d rather not add to the fuss.”
Zhong Minghao and Zhong Mingyu, although silent, internally sighed in relief.
“Yaoyao, joining the company can be fun too!” Old Madam Zhong’s tone carried a bit of coaxing, “Our company specializes in producing jewelry, and there are a lot of beautiful pieces you’d surely like.”
“Grandma, you and Grandpa should stop trying to persuade .” Zhong Niangyao’s stance was resolute, “Since I’ve already decided, it won’t change.”
Seeing the deanor of Zhong Niangyao, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong looked at each other and could only heave a sigh of resignation in the end.
“Actually, this is also good!” Zheng Silin said with a smile, smoothing over the situation, “For Niangyao, a young girl, being happy every day is enough. She doesn’t lack that bit of money and doesn’t need to work from nine to five—it’s much less liberating!”
After that, the matter settled, and neither Old Sir Zhong nor Old Madam Zhong continued. Naturally, no one else brought it up again to avoid pushing Zhong Niangyao into actually joining the company.
