Chapter 343 Midnight
Having received Yunmu's golden words, Yunzhi immediately took the chicken feather as a command. She looked at Yunyun with her head held high, like a victorious rooster. Yunyun was speechless for a moment, thus ending this childish argument.
After Yunyun left, Yunzhi tugged at her mother's arm and whined sweetly, "Mom, you're the best to me."
"You are my precious daughter. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?" Yunmu said with a loving expression, gently pinching her nose.
This kind of warm and heartwarming family affection was something Yunzhi had never experienced before. Her mother's unconditional favoritism, her father's unspoken paternal love, and her brother's indulgent sibling affection were all things she had longed for but could never obtain.
'System, thank you, thank you for giving me such a wonderful family in this life.'
Yunzhi sniffed, almost unable to hold back her tears. She hugged her mother tightly so that her mother wouldn't see her broken expression.
[You're welcome, host. This is what you deserve.]
The system's mechanical voice sounded at that moment.
The next second, the mechanical voice asked somewhat awkwardly.
[Host, am I your family?]
Yunzhi was somewhat surprised that the usually rigid system would ask such a question, but she didn't hesitate. She raised her hand and wiped away her tears, 'You've long been family to me.'
The next second, she heard a static sound in her head, like something making a bad connection. Then, the system's voice rang in her mind again.
[Host, I've come to consider you family as well.]
Yunzhi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there was something in the system's mechanical voice that she couldn't quite grasp.
Yunzhi clung to Yunmu and acted coquettishly for a while.
When it was almost time, I went upstairs to rest.
The next day, Cheng Shuyan came to pick up Yunzhi on time.
Yunzhi, who had gone to bed late the night before, yawned, a few tears welling up in her eyes. Just as she was dozing off in the passenger seat, Cheng Shuyan glanced at her and chuckled, jokingly asking, "Were you out thieving last night?"
"I didn't do anything, I just went to eat melon seeds." Yunzhi sent another happy emoji. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind, and then turned around to look at Cheng Shuyan with some interest.
"Did you see the announcement that Tan Group issued late last night? Tan Rong has finally made some bold moves this time, but her announcement caught some people off guard. She'll probably be very busy at the company today."
Early yesterday morning, the Tan Group issued a clear punishment and explanation regarding the recent uproar over a senior property management executive's embezzlement of property fees. This time, the Tan Group did not raise the issue vehemently and then let it go easily.
The Tan Group not only dismissed these employees who seriously violated the employee handbook, but also demanded double compensation for the amount they embezzled. The compensation will be returned to each homeowner. The Group also stated that if the compensation is not paid within 24 hours, the Group will call the police to handle the matter.
The Tan Group released a long list of names. Yunzhi glanced at it and saw at least thirty people. The fact that the Tan Group suddenly made its move in the middle of the night was obvious, and it was clear who was behind it. Tan Rong probably knew this too. It would be impossible to release the list of these people during the day, since many of them had connections with the company's higher-ups and were protected by each other. It would be almost impossible for her to punish them severely.
But things are different in the early morning. At that time, almost everyone who should be asleep is asleep, which gives Tan Rongke an opportunity.
"She should do her job in this position; this is something she should handle." Cheng Shuyan seemed to know about the matter as well. He spoke calmly, even feeling that Tan Rong had brought it upon herself. If she had dealt with these people earlier, the Tan Group's reputation wouldn't be in such a bad state now.
Although Tan Rong took over the position from Old Master Tan, due to his age and seniority, the Tan Group, apart from those who supported Old Master Tan, already had many opinions about Tan Rong. This is why some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a quick buck.
Yunzhi understood Cheng Shuyan's meaning. She nodded gently and leaned against the car window, feeling drowsy. "However, some people online are speculating that Tan Rong is just putting on a show. If these people are punished, and Tan Rong apologizes properly, the public might be able to forgive the Tan Group. Now it all depends on Tan Rong's abilities."
Cheng Shuyan clearly didn't want to talk about Tan Rong anymore. He noticed the dark circles under Yunzhi's eyes and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes. "You're eating melons instead of sleeping at night. You still have things to help me with today. Hurry up and rest in the car for a while, or you'll be busy at the company."
Yunzhi, who originally wanted to catch up on sleep in Cheng Shuyan's office, was speechless.
Thinking that she had offered to help, and that she had already slacked off all day yesterday, it really wouldn't be right to slack off again today. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and pretended to be asleep, looking as if she didn't want to accept this fact, which made Cheng Shuyan unable to help but laugh.
Yunzhi originally intended to pretend to be asleep, but unexpectedly, she actually fell asleep after a short while.
Cheng Shuyan glanced at Yunzhi's peaceful sleeping face out of the corner of his eye and silently slowed down the car.
At this time, the Tan Group was indeed in complete chaos.
Those who have risen to the management level and embezzled property fees are no longer just lowly employees of the Tan Group; their relationships are intricate and chaotic.
Therefore, as soon as Tan Rong arrived at the company early in the morning, someone angrily came to his door to question him about the announcement from the previous night.
Tan Rong slightly raised his eyelids. "Is there a problem with my announcement? Or do you think my punishment is too lenient? Well, for someone like this who betrays his country, I should send him to the police station. But I was too kind and only fined and dismissed him."
"You, Tan Rong, isn't this all over? Why are you still making a big deal out of this? You just fire over thirty employees like that, without even consulting us! Do you really think the company is yours?" Shareholder Zhao slammed his fist on the table, glaring angrily at Tan Rong, his spittle almost spraying Tan Rong's face.
Tan Rong stepped back in disgust, then sneered, "The company isn't mine, nor yours; it belongs to my father. Don't forget what the Tan Group's name is. And I remember my father telling me when he fainted that the company president has the right to decide anything in the company. I don't think there's anything wrong with me firing more than thirty employees."
"That's the company president. Are you the company president? You're just an acting president. Do you know those people... those people? Never mind, you won't be in this position for much longer anyway." Zhao, the shareholder, irritably tugged at his tie a couple of times, then stood up straight coldly.
