Tan Jing gave Tan Zhao a look and said, “Sit down.”
Tan Zhao immediately sat down obediently and stopped fooling around.
Tan Zhao was about to graduate and had enough of being controlled by his family. Thus, he begged Tan Jing to plead with his parents so that he could move out and live with Tan Jing. Moreover, he knew that Tan Jing was usually very busy and didn’t have the time to care about him.
Staying with Tan Jing meant freedom. For the first time, Tan Jing asked Tan Zhao to eat at home, so Tan Zhao thought that he was going to reprimand him, but Tan Zhao didn’t expect Tan Jing to tell him to ask his enemy out.
After Tan Zhao sat down at the dining table reluctantly, he said to his brother, “Brother, why do I have to ask Shi Bin out to play? Everyone knows that the two of us don’t get along. If I take the initiative to ask him out, won’t I be showing weakness? It’ll be very embarrassing if word gets out. How can 1 hold my head up in front of my lackeys?”
Tan Jing was exasperated. Even Shi Bin had changed his ways and started to work hard for the family business, but his younger brother was still so ignorant and only wanted to have fun every day. If there was a chance, he really wanted to ask Yuan Shu for guidance on how to discipline his younger brother.
Tan Jing said, “Shi Bin has been an intern for three months. You know how difficult it is to enter the venture capital industry. Once Shi Bin achieves some results, he will definitely be praised in your class. Is this what you want to see? Do you think it’s more embarrassing to lose to him in terms of career or in front of your lousy friends?”
When he heard this, Tan Zhao shut up. When he found out that Shi Bin actually went to work, he was indeed shocked and even a little envious. However, Shi Bin was interested in venture capital, thus he was capable of mastering it.
He couldn’t do it. He had never paid attention in class, so he didn’t know anything about venture capital at all. What could he do?
Tan Jing said, “The reason I asked you to ask him out is to exhaust his willpower. Do you think that the Shi Corporation can tolerate a slacker who is always fooling around? Furthermore, it won’t just be a simple meal. You need to get information out of him.”
Tan Zhao lowered his head and said hesitantly, “But the two of us have been arguing for so many years. Do you think he’ll come if I ask him out?”
Tan Jing said, “This depends on your ability. You have to contribute to the family in the future. If you don’t even have this ability, you won’t have a share in the family business.”
Although Tan Jing was always very strict, he rarely spoke like today, so Tan Zhao understood the seriousness of the matter and said, “Brother, don’t worry.
1 will definitely settle this matter.”
The next morning, Shi Xiao woke up in his bed in the office. It was rare for him to feel like sleeping in. He didn’t sleep much and always got up as soon as he woke up. He was very disciplined.
In the past, whenever he was busy with the corporation’s matters, he rarely went home. He stayed in the office most of the time. There was a bedroom in the office, and he tidied it up very comfortably, so the company was more like home to him.
Later on, he went home more often because Yuan Shu was at home. However, now that Yuan Shu had moved out, Shi Xiao was too lazy to go back.
Shi Xiao had just finished washing up when Zhao Mian knocked on the door. Shi Xiao let her in.
Zhao Mian placed a stack of materials on Shi Xiao’s table and said, “This is Yuan An’s financial report for the past week.”
Shi Xiao sat down at the table. Just as he opened the report, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “How’s that young man called Zhou Liu? Is there anything unusual?”
Zhao Mian replied, “He’s still working as usual. When he came to the headquarters to get his briefcase previously, because we had something to deal with and weren’t in the company, he took his bag and left. This person seems a little socially awkward.”
However, Shi Xiao liked this type of person very much. They were single-minded and capable.
Shi Xiao said, “From the looks of it, he probably knows Mo Shu. Perhaps we can find Mo Shu through him. One of them is good at attack codes, and the other is good at defense codes. If we can recruit the two of them, the development of Yuan An won’t be a problem.”
Zhao Mian was a little hesitant and said, “But Zhou Liu probably won’t tell us Mo Shu’s location. I went to Yuan An’s company to look for him and asked about his relationship with Mo Shu, but he didn’t say a word and avoided the topic. It seems like he doesn’t want us to ask too much. This is an employee’s privacy, so the company doesn’t have the right to ask him for an explanation..”
