Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
You don’t have that much power, and besides, he’s not on your side.” Bai Jingye exchanged a few words with Miss Zhou at the elevator entrance, and then hurried downstairs, not wanting to keep his precious brother-in-law waiting in vain. After all, if she really married Miss Bai, she would be one of the Bai family members, and they could give her a share of the company. She used to think that Zhou Tao just got lucky and didn't actually have that many capable clients, as evidenced by the company's...
“Miss Zhou, you saw what happened just now. I think you shouldn’t make any futile efforts. He’s about to become our son-in-law. Do you think he can still cooperate with you? We’ll discuss some shares tonight. I’m willing to give some shares because we’re family, but you definitely can’t. You don’t have that much power, and besides, he’s not on your side.”
Bai Jingye exchanged a few words with Miss Zhou at the elevator entrance, and then hurried downstairs, not wanting to keep his precious brother-in-law waiting in vain.
Miss Zhou was furious, but what Bai Jingye said was true. After all, if she really married Miss Bai, she would be one of the Bai family members, and they could give her a share of the company. It would be impossible for the Zhou family to do so, unless Miss Zhou and Liu Ning were together. But how could the two of them be together? They didn't even have any emotional foundation. Although Miss Zhou was still single, she didn't want to use her marriage as a bargaining chip. Besides, even if Miss Zhou was willing, Liu Ning might not be.
When Miss Zhou turned around, everyone thought she was a female tyrant.
"Sister, didn't I tell you a long time ago? I was going to bring you a big client. I finally managed to get his approval today, but I really didn't know he could concoct potions. I just knew this guy had a lot of good stuff. Who knew your people would be like this? If we could have met him sooner, maybe he would have cooperated with us. We might not have offered less than the Bai family."
Zhou Tao put on an air of concern for the country and the people, as if he were thinking of the entire family. In reality, everyone around him hated him to death. He was turning his anger on them. Zhou Tao was secretly pleased with himself. He had finally managed to invite a big client. Look at the way you all acted. Although you didn't say anything earlier, you didn't help either. You always looked down on him. Today, he would seize the opportunity to make you pay.
Just as Zhou Tao had expected, after hearing Zhou Tao's words, Miss Zhou glared fiercely at the group of people around her. "It's all because of you guys. You're always so arrogant and domineering. You've gotten used to offending a few small clients, and now you've even offended a senior pharmacist."
“I told you all a long time ago to change your bad tempers, but no one took me seriously. Now look what’s happened. You’ve offended people like this. I’m telling you, this is the first and last time. Everyone will have six months’ salary deducted. If this happens again, it won’t just be losing your job.”
In a typical company, being fired is the most severe punishment, but working for one of the eight major conglomerates could cost you your head in a heartbeat—this is no joke.
Miss Zhou knew these people were her confidants, so her punishment for them was just a pay cut. If it were anyone else, they would probably have lost their heads by now. But Miss Zhou still needed them to manage the entire company, so this was also to give Zhou Tao an explanation.
Now, Miss Zhou has a completely different opinion of Zhou Tao. She used to think that Zhou Tao just got lucky and didn't actually have that many capable clients, as evidenced by the company's performance. So this time, she was thinking of removing Zhou Tao from his position, but who knew that something like this would happen at the last minute.
If they want to continue working with Mr. Liu in the future, they must keep Zhou Tao's job.
When the siblings were in the office, Zhou Tao received unprecedented treatment. First of all, the tone of their voices was exactly like that of an older sister instructing her younger brother. Zhou Tao hadn't experienced this kind of familial affection in a long time. Of course, Zhou Tao wasn't confused; she said what she should say and didn't say what she shouldn't.
Zhou Yan didn't get the answer she wanted, so she continued to question Zhou Tao. At first, she thought Zhou Tao was unwilling to talk about it and was angry. But after Zhou Tao was promoted and given a raise, he still couldn't answer. At this point, Zhou Yan realized that it wasn't that Zhou Tao didn't want to talk about it, but that he simply didn't know.
Miss Zhou was filled with worry. Her younger brother was the closest person to Mr. Liu, but he didn't know much about him. If there was any competition in the future, they wouldn't even have a chance to get close. The Bai family had really struck gold this time.
"Don't worry, sister. I've worked with Mr. Liu for a long time. Back when I was just a junior manager, he often asked me to ship goods. We have a good relationship. It's just that what happened today is infuriating. If we can persuade him kindly in the future, I think we still have a chance to cooperate with Mr. Liu."
Zhou Tao was afraid that her status would be lowered, but what this guy said was true, and his words brought a sparkle back to Miss Zhou's eyes.
“What you said is true. You should pay more attention to this in the near future. I was originally thinking of sending you back to the company headquarters, but now it seems that's not a good idea. You can stay here and continue to do your job, and your salary will be doubled.”
After hearing this, Zhou Tao finally felt relieved. He had heard the rumors long ago that he was to be transferred back to headquarters. For others, returning to headquarters might be a good thing, but for Zhou Tao, it was the worst thing ever. He was just an illegitimate son of the Zhou family. If he were at headquarters, there would be many people more capable than him, and he would have to beg for favors every day.
The base city outside is the best. Not only do you have great power, but most importantly, your life is guaranteed. If you go back to headquarters, there are many people who will try to curry favor with the next generation of Zhou family heirs. They are capable of anything, and they might take Zhou Tao's life in just a few words.
"There's another thing. I also learned that this Mr. Liu has a wide social circle. It seems that he has a deep relationship with Commander Wang's grandson and Zhao Wudi's daughter. As for how deep that relationship is, I'm not quite sure."
At this point, Zhou Tao added another bargaining chip for Liu Ning, and everything she said was true. Even if Miss Zhou investigated, she could find out the details herself, so it was better to tell the truth herself.
After hearing these words, Miss Zhou's brows furrowed even deeper. It was all that damned secretary's fault for letting such a big fish go. She would kill her a hundred times over.
