Chapter 149

"Big sister, I didn't mean that..."

Su Mingli said with difficulty: "I never felt you were eating and drinking for free, it's just that you know Zhang Yuzhen's personality; she was used to being overbearing at her maiden home... there's conflict between you, and I'm really helpless being caught in the middle..."

Su Mingli complained to Su Xiuya about his difficulties with a depressed face, and finally asked tentatively: "Then after you move away this time, will brother-in-law still come to the company to work?"

Xu Tian watched Su Mingli's clumsy acting coldly; I'm afraid he had paved the way for so long just to confirm whether Yan Jinsong would still go and work hard for him.

Yan Jinsong had outstanding work ability and previous management experience in large companies.

Coupled with Su Mingli always playing the emotional card with him, Yan Jinsong's salary and bonuses had always been about the same as ordinary employees.

Su Mingli naturally couldn't bear to let go of such cheap labor who was obedient, willing to work overtime, and didn't ask for returns.

Xu Tian was worried that Su Xiuya would be soft-hearted, so before she could speak, he took the initiative to say:

"My godfather is not young anymore, I don't want him to work so hard, so naturally he won't go to the company anymore."

Xu Tian's words shattered Su Mingli's last bit of fantasy.

However, Zhang Yuzhen, who was behind Su Mingli, heard Xu Tian's words and immediately rushed up:

"What are you saying? Yan Jinsong is an employee of our company; if he says he won't go, he won't go—then what should we do?"

Xu Tian sneered upon hearing this: "Every company allows employees to resign; at worst, we won't take this month's salary."

"Is he the same as an ordinary employee? If he leaves like this, what do you want the company's business to do?"

Zhang Yuzhen still wanted to use that method of acting like a shrew: "I don't care, anyway he can't leave!"

"My godfather is different from ordinary employees?"

Xu Tian said with feigned confusion: "As far as I know, his salary is the same as ordinary employees."

"That is..." Zhang Yuzhen still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Xu Tian.

"If your company cannot operate normally without my godfather, then what is your husband, the boss, for?"

He raised his eyes to look at the gloomy-faced Su Mingli and said with a half-smile: "Those who don't know might think my godfather is the boss."

"You fart! The company belongs to me and Mingli; no one is allowed to divide it!"

As soon as Zhang Yuzhen heard Xu Tian talk about the ownership of the company, she was poked in the sore spot again, fearing that Xu Tian would come to fight them for the ownership of the company.

"Since it's yours, then you manage it well; don't bother my godfather."

Xu Tian's words blocked all of Zhang Yuzhen's sophistry excuses: "You don't have to worry either; the villa and the company were originally given to you voluntarily by my godfather and godmother, just like encountering a beggar on the roadside and giving alms. Even if my godfather is not as glorious as before, naturally there is no reason to go back and fight with beggars for food."

Zhang Yuzhen and Su Mingli's faces turned livid upon hearing this.

Wasn't Xu Tian's remark implicitly mocking them as beggars on the street?

"Godfather, godmother, let's go quickly; we still have to move after going back."

Xu Tian didn't give Zhang Yuzhen a chance to curse, and taking advantage of her being stunned, he directly took Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya and left.

Zhang Yuzhen was so angry that her face turned red, and with a breath of air stuck in her chest with nowhere to vent, she could only vent her anger on Su Mingli.

"Look at this brat Xu Tian, he's just a godson, yet he dares to climb on top of my head, and even said I'm a beggar! He doesn't think about who kindly took them in when Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong were down-and-out!"

"They are all ungrateful things, ungrateful wretches!"

"And you, seeing me being bullied, didn't dare to let out a fart; I really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry a man like you!"

Zhang Yuzhen scolded more and more vigorously, and seeing Su Mingli hanging his head and not saying a word, she fiercely hammered his shoulder and shouted in a pinched voice.

"You mute gourd, speak to me!"

"Now that Yan Jinsong isn't going to the company, what should we do about the company's business? Who will do his work?"

"Mom, calm down."

Su Weixin walked over, looking at Xu Tian's back with eyes full of jealousy: "Isn't he just a pretty boy who is bluffing? He won't amount to anything; Yan Jinsong is heavily in debt, and now without this salary, I'll see how their family lives."

"Xu Tian is glorious on the surface, but who knows what his background is?"

"Do you believe any wealthy family child would come to be Yan Jinsong's godson?"

Su Weixin analyzed with certainty: "What is he plotting? Inheriting Yan Jinsong's huge debts?"

"What you said also makes sense..."

Zhang Yuzhen finished venting, and her anger subsided a bit: "But what about the house in Jiangshui Dynasty and Master Lin?"

"Heh, it's just a door card; it's not hard to forge, right?"

Su Weixin didn't believe that Xu Tian, who was about the same age as him, really had any extraordinary ability: "Maybe it was well-designed by him to save face for himself; as for Master Lin, it's not necessarily invited by him, after all, the Yan Family Patriarch is also a person of status in Jiangcheng..."

"Son, you are still the smart one."

Hearing Su Weixin belittle Xu Tian as worthless, Zhang Yuzhen felt much better.

"So Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry too much; if Yan Jinsong were really that capable, could his own company have gone bankrupt? I don't believe our company can't operate normally without them!"

"Right, Weixin is right!"

Zhang Yuzhen nodded: "Yan Jinsong is just hardworking, not irreplaceable; there are plenty of such employees in the talent market; we spend money to hire a few back to work for us, and they will have to be grateful and lick our boots, unlike Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya, who have bitter faces all day long and only know how to oppose us!"

Zhang Yuzhen had lost all face at the Yan family's birthday banquet today, and now the breath stuck in her chest was finally smoothed out.

"Look at Su Xiuya's smug look, isn't he just a godson? What's there to be smug about?"

"That's because she couldn't give birth to a son herself, so she randomly adopted a boy of unknown origin from outside as a godson, and isn't afraid of being cheated out of everything..."

"Mom, they didn't have any property to begin with."

Su Weixin said with a smile: "Unlike us, we still have Cousin Hongyu and the others to rely on."

"Right, Cousin Hongyu will definitely help us; in the future, our family will have to rely on them, and we don't need Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong's alms at all!"

Zhang Yuzhen said so, but still occupied the villa and the company with peace of mind, with no intention of returning them to their original owner.

"Cousin Hongyu is truly capable; now the artists under Yixing Media who can make money are basically managed by him; if you follow him in the future, your future will definitely be limitless."

"Now those university teachers are also coming out to livestream and sell goods, I think you can too; don't always just study to death, learn more from your cousin, did you hear me?"
