Chapter 136: Ya Li Was Dismissed

On the morning of the third day, Shi Yong reported to me the marketing plan Xiao Fang had devised.

I glanced at it briefly; it seemed fine, except the celebrity they hired wasn't famous enough.

The rural singer Da Yi Ge, who's currently the hottest on the radio, if we could get him to appear, would surely draw the attention of the whole city.

I told Shi Yong, 'Tell Xiao Fang the celebrity lineup here isn't strong enough; have her add some of the hottest online stars, like that Da Yi Ge.'

Shi Yong said, 'Xiao Fang told me the invited celebrities are mainly popular with young people. Our main homebuyers are young people, and this launch sale mainly targets young people. That Da Yi Ge is a singer favored by middle-aged and elderly folks, and he's from the countryside—too rustic.'

I directly said to Shi Yong, 'What's wrong with being rustic, Shi Yong? You grew up in the countryside too. The rustic is the most genuine.'

If we could attract middle-aged and elderly people, that would be best.

Although young people are the main force in home buying, middle-aged and elderly people have money.

They are the ones with actual strength.

We need to attract more people, you know?

'Okay, I got it. I'll tell Xiao Fang later; Zhengzheng wants to intern with Xiao Fang to learn how to plan big events. If he studies well, our company can hold events without hiring outsiders.' Shi Yong said.

I said, 'Sure, letting Zhengzheng get some training is great. Young people need to learn. I support it.'

Shi Yong then went out.

Sun Dajun pushed the door open again and came in,

"Dad, when is the launch date set? I'll ask my godfather so he can organize people to maintain order at the scene when the time comes."

"The time hasn't been set yet. We're mainly waiting for a letter from your Uncle Jinhe to see when his house can be completed."

"Moreover, the event plan for the launch hasn't been finalized."

"So the date remains undecided."

Sun Dajun said, 'Dad, I think we should wait for Kang Yali to return before confirming the launch date.'

Looking at Sun Dajun, I thought to myself, this Sun Dajun seems to revolve around Kang Yali.

How can this continue like this?

But I can't oppose Sun Dajun's opinion.

I said, 'Alright, then let's wait for Kang Yali to come back and decide. I also don't know how Kang Yali's negotiations are going.'

Sun Dajun glanced at his wristwatch,

"Kang Yali should be in the South today; I estimate we'll have results this afternoon. Dad, we can't worry about so much—whether the Southern Group agrees or not, as long as the project is completed, we can go ahead with the launch."

"We'll talk after we've got the money in hand."

"Alright, as long as you communicate well with your godfather, that's fine." I said.

Sun Dajun said, 'I've already settled things with my godfather; you don't need to worry about anything—if anything happens, my godfather will handle it.'

I didn't want to say anything more.

Sun Dajun also walked out of the room.

I stayed alone in the room,

slowly trying to walk without a cane,

if I were to go on stage to speak at the launch ceremony of the Xin Cheng project, leaning on a cane would look bad.

I want to get rid of the cane as much as possible.

I'm tentatively trying to walk a little bit,

my foot hasn't touched the ground in a long time,

and suddenly touching the ground feels a bit unfamiliar.

first I support myself on the toes, then place the whole foot on the ground,

then I start walking,

there's a little pain, but it's not excruciating.

I grit my teeth and persist in walking.

After walking for a morning, I finally can walk without the cane.

I'm very happy,

my body is gradually recovering; as long as the body is good, everything will be fine.

I thought to myself.

After having a simple meal at the restaurant at noon, I returned to the office and slowly practiced.

Although that injured leg, if I dare to exert too much force,

walking becomes a bit sluggish.

but it's still much better than using a cane.

Three months ago I was still lying in bed unable to move at all; now I can walk with a cane, which is already good.

After practicing walking for a while, I rested again in the room.

I wanted to wait for Shi Yong to come back, then go to the construction site to check on Shi Jinhe's project progress.

When exactly will it be completed? That way I can finalize the launch plans.

Just then, my phone rang,

I saw the caller ID was Kang Yali's,

so I pressed the answer key,

the phone transmitted Ya Li's crying voice,

"Chairman, it's terrible—I've been fired by Zhang Zong. He says my supervision of Da Heng Group was insufficient, causing management chaos at Da Heng Group. Moreover, I arbitrarily took on the role of Da Heng Group's financial supervisor. All of this violates group regulations."

"I've been dismissed by Zhang Zong—what am I to do?"

Hearing Ya Li's crying voice,

I feel a little flustered.

"Ya Li, don't cry. If you're dismissed, that's fine; that way you can legitimately serve as our Da Heng Group's chief financial officer. Come back from the South. Also, regarding our company's project launch sales, have you brought it up with Zhang Zong?"

"Chairman, I raised it, but Zhang Zong outright rejected it. They don't agree to the Da Heng Group's new property development sales."

Zhang Zong sent another company representative; he should arrive in Zaocheng tomorrow,

He will meet with you directly,

and convey Zhang Zong's intentions to you.

"Chairman, I haven't been able to help you; you won't be angry, right?" Ya Li said sadly.

"Ya Li, I'm not angry. You don't have to stay in the South any longer; hurry back. Our company needs you. Don't be afraid. Join our group, and we'll work together to develop the Da Heng Group. I feel it's far better than you being at the Southern Group," I said.

"Thank you for the Chairman's trust. I need to hand over some matters here; once the handover is done, I'll return to Zaocheng.

Sigh, after following Zhang Zong for so long and putting in so much effort, I didn't expect this outcome," Ya Li said.

"Ya Li, the Southern people are like that; they rarely consider personal feelings. Fine, don't be sad. Come back, and we'll plan our new property sales properly," I said over the phone.

"Chairman, didn't I just say that the Southern Group doesn't agree to your new property sales? I think it's best if you communicate directly with Zhang Zong to explain the situation. I have Zhang Zong's mobile number here; I'll send it to you. Call him and discuss it thoroughly. Explain the difficulties of the Da Heng Group—if we don't get new funding to sustain, all projects will halt," Ya Li said.

"Ya Li, don't send Zhang Zong's phone number; I won't talk to him. He's already dismissed you. That just shows his attitude; why should I make a fuss?"

There's nothing we can do about this.

Rather than sit and wait for death, I'd rather take a gamble.

I have no way out now.

Ya Li, I urge you to return to Zaocheng soon; Zaocheng is your home," I said sincerely.

"Alright, thank you, Chairman. I'll return as soon as possible," Ya Li said before hanging up.

After hanging up with Ya Li, I quickly called Sun Dajun in.

I said straight to Sun Dajun, "Dajun, did you know Ya Li was dismissed by the Southern Group?"

"What? On what grounds can they dismiss Ya Li? No, is Chief Kang being bullied? Dad, I'm heading to the South right now."

Go fetch Chief Kang and bring him back.

Now that she's dismissed, it's perfect; our group is short of staff.

They don't need her; we will.

This Sun Dajun is truly impatient; as soon as he heard the news, he immediately wanted to rush to the South to fetch Kang Yali.
