Jiang Lihao didn't realize he had fallen into a trap. He was still stupidly helping his father solve problems.
Actually, Jiang Lihao had initially noticed something was off. This problem didn't seem easy to solve, but it wasn't extremely difficult either. Solving it would be time - consuming and laborious. Suddenly, Jiang Lihao realized his mistake. No matter how much overtime he put in, this task would surely take ten days or half a month.
By that time, even if his father allowed him to leave, by the time Jiang Lihao got out, this matter would probably have already been settled.
However, thinking of the tone in which his father had spoken on the phone, Jiang Lihao softened his heart a bit.
But out of trust in his father and considering that such a matter did seem difficult to handle, Jiang Lihao still stayed patiently.
At worst, he could figure out a way to pass on the news and send someone else to the Huo family. If Yang Qian stayed at Huo Cheng's place all the time, she should be safe.
Just like this, he was busy until late at night.
Chairman Jiang was very vigilant against his son. He sent only the best people, making sure Jiang Lihao couldn't get his hands on a phone or a computer.
Jiang Lihao seriously suspected whether he was really here to work. This job was really... indescribable. For the first time, Jiang Lihao felt that just bossing others around without doing any real work himself was a kind of torture.
"Hey, don't you guys think it's unfair?" Jiang Lihao couldn't hold it in any longer and started knocking on the table.
But the workaholics in the meeting room just looked up at him for a moment, then went back to their work without any reaction.
"Think about it. Each of you is so hard - working and capable. But I'm different. I'm an air - dropped employee. I got in through connections. Don't you feel it's unfair?"
Thinking he had made a very reasonable point, but these people didn't even look up at him. They were even more perfunctory than before. At least they had looked up at him before, but now they didn't even bother to look.
Probably in their hearts, they looked down on him as an air - dropped young master.
This was a rare moment of helplessness for Young Master Jiang. Facing a group of people who were like replicas of Huo Cheng, Jiang Lihao really didn't know what to say.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Lihao paced back and forth, feeling extremely irritable. But the whole meeting room was very quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were Jiang Lihao's impatient footsteps and the sound of his clothes rubbing against each other.
This was really bad. What should he do with these people who were impervious to persuasion? Jiang Lihao had a terrible headache.
The assistant, Xiaolin, was really burying his head in work all the time. He did whatever Jiang Lihao told him to do. It seemed that he was also very capable.
It was really a waste to have him with himself. This was Jiang Lihao's most intuitive feeling at the moment.
During Jiang Lihao's work, people were constantly coming in and out. Some were really here for work, but some were sent by Chairman Jiang to monitor Jiang Lihao.
"Chairman, since you don't trust the young master, why don't you go and have a look in person? This incident is not a small one. If you were to take charge in person, wouldn't it be more convenient for the young master to do his work? Otherwise, people might say that his position is not legitimate, right?"
It was again Supervisor Wu, fawning in front of Chairman Jiang with a flattering look on his face.
"What you said, I've considered it. But I know my son well, and I also know myself. I know what it's like when Lihao and I work together. We're different. But this company will eventually be handed over to him."
"I'm entrusting this matter to him because I trust him, and at the same time, I'm giving him a chance to gain some experience. After the company gets through this difficult time, I can consider handing over the company to him."
"Do you understand what I'm saying, Supervisor Wu?"
Chairman Jiang suddenly turned his head and looked at Supervisor Wu seriously.
"Chairman, you can't say that. You're still in the prime of your life. The experience you've accumulated over the years is not something a newcomer can compare with. Moreover, you can still lead us to achieve great things. Why do you sound like you're about to retire?"
Supervisor Wu was always good at flattering, and Chairman Jiang usually liked it. But today, instead of being happy after hearing this, Chairman Jiang frowned tightly.
"What did you say?"
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong, Chairman Jiang?"
After thinking for a while, Chairman Jiang waved his hand and decided to let it go. Maybe Supervisor Wu didn't mean it.
He had intended to just ignore it, but facing Supervisor Wu's inquisitive look, the chairman still explained:
"Actually, I've thought about what you just said. It's just that I think the company will belong to Jiang Lihao in the future. After he takes over, I won't interfere in the company's affairs anymore. People, whether new or old, will have to adapt to his way of doing things."
"I'm just afraid that by then, no one will be willing to listen to him. Even you think that without me, Jiang Lihao can't hold down the people below."
"Think about it. When Jiang Lihao really inherits the company in the future, in order not to be excluded in the company and not to be opposed every time he does something, it's very important to start preparing now."
After hearing this, Supervisor Wu finally understood where he had said something wrong.
Ultimately, the company would belong to Jiang Lihao. Thinking of Jiang Lihao's attitude towards him, Supervisor Wu suddenly began to seriously doubt whether, in the future, as Jiang Lihao had said, he would really be fired.
Finally, Jiang Lihao managed to get through a day of work. He suspected that his father had dragged him here to do hard labor.
"Now can you give me my phone?" Jiang Lihao pushed open the door of his father's office.
"Come home with me. Your mother hasn't seen you for ages." Chairman Jiang sank his face, avoided the topic, and didn't intend to return the phone to Jiang Lihao.
"Do you think I'll still stay here after all this?"
After being forced to work for a whole day, Jiang Lihao thought he had already compromised. But his father's current attitude really made him furious.
"If you want to leave, fine. But first, take a look at this."
Chairman Jiang pushed a folder in front of his son, his tone full of threat.
Jiang Lihao picked up the folder and flipped through it. His movements got faster and faster, and his emotions became more and more agitated. It was none other than Yang Qian's family information. The meaning was very clear.
"Do you mean that if I don't stay here, you'll go after her family?" Jiang Lihao's eyes were blood - red.
"If you understand it that way, it's okay. If you think this isn't enough to stop you from working for Huo Cheng, then take a look at this." Chairman Jiang pushed another document in front of Jiang Lihao.
After flipping through it a few times, Jiang Lihao's reaction was different from before. He was shocked and couldn't believe it. His voice was trembling with fear: "Are these all true?"
Then Jiang Lihao saw his father nod.
