"CEO Zhao, I thought we had an agreement. Why are we getting fired now?"
"Enough!" Zhao Hong's face darkened as he interrupted Zhou Weisheng and the others.
He walked to Zhao Jinxing's side, bent down, and said in a low voice, "Jinxing, let's talk in private."
Zhao Jinxing looked at him expressionless. Zhao Hong could not hold back his anger any longer and glared at everyone else in the room. Everyone understood and packed their things and left the meeting room.
"Jinxing! Have you forgotten how much I doted on you when you were younger? You've only just become the largest shareholder of the group and you've already started embarrassing me. If this gets out, my reputation will be ruined."
Zhao Jinxing sneered. "You were the one who said that you wanted to resign. Why are you blaming it all on me now?"
Zhao Hong knew that he was in the wrong. However, he still tried to persuade her nicely, "I had good intentions. I wanted to give you some space to learn as you go. Director Zhou and the others were also like that because they were worried about you. You cannot fire them. Otherwise, the company will be in big trouble."
Zhao Jinxing didn't comment.
Zhao Hong was anxious, "Jinxing, even if you don't care about my reputation, keep them here for the sake of your grandfather. Zhenting Group is his life's work. Do you want to see it go bankrupt?"
At the mention of Zhuang Zhenting, Zhao Jinxing fell silent. Seeing that she was wavering, he continued, "The marriage between the Huo family and ours is also still uncertain. If the company goes downhill from here and someone takes advantage of the situation, we'll be in deep trouble."
After a long while, Zhao Jinxing slowly said, "I can recall the personnel notices and pretend that what happened just now didn't happen. You can also continue to be the CEO of the group."
Zhao Hong finally calmed down.
"But I also have my conditions."
"Go ahead!"
"Firstly, at the shareholders' meeting in a week's time, I want you to support me regarding my proposal to be the CEO." This was simply a courtesy, as she could be the CEO either way.
She just wanted to see Zhao Hong's sour expression after hearing her request.
"That's for sure." Zhao Hong put on a fake smile.
"Secondly, Zhao Jinxiu received Zhenting Group shares and joined the Zhao family. As the daughter of the Zhao family, she should also make some sacrifices for the group. She must fulfill our promise to the Huo family and get married."
"Um..." Zhao Hong was in a difficult position.
Thinking of the disfigured cripple of the Huo family, Zhao Hong felt extremely sorry for his beautiful daughter for having to be with such a person for the rest of her life.
Zhao Jinxing smiled sarcastically and generously offered a second option.
"I know that Zhao Jinxiu will probably not agree to this. If she doesn't want to marry, that's fine too."
"Really?" Zhao Hong's eyes lit up.
"Of course, as long as she returns her shares of Zhenting Group to me."
Zhao Hong was speechless.
He had painstakingly pined for those shares for so many years. This was not an option for him. It was absolutely impossible!
"This marriage was promised when your grandfather was still alive. One can not go back on one's words. Don't worry, I will prepare Jinxiu for marriage well."
"Thank you, I feel at ease now."
Zhao Jinxing stood up and smiled politely at him. "You know, I have always been a very easygoing person. I hope that we can discuss things this way in the future."
The corner of Zhao Hong's mouth twitched, and he felt his heart hurt even more.
