Ye Hao looked at Li Yi and said, "Yi, what's the matter?"
"Boss, if you don't co, the two of us are going to starve to death on this island." Li Yi smiled bitterly, feeling helpless. He didn't bla Ye Hao, knowing that Ye Hao had his own business to attend to, although he occasionally found ti to attend university.
But what Ye Hao usually had to do was too thrilling, so thrilling that so people simply couldn't accept it. Therefore, when he occasionally took it easy, they understood and never held any resentnt against him for founding the clan but not managing it.
"Li Yi, what do you an? Are you saying that as head of the finance departnt, I'm not giving you money?" Jiang Zi looked at Li Yi with a grim face, not expecting Li Yi to complain about him in front of Ye Hao.
In his mind, Qin Xiweng knew about and tacitly approved his delaying salaries. Therefore, he didn't restrain himself much before and beca increasingly excessive, sotis delaying paynt for half a month. Many of the veterans in the clan were discontented.
He thought that since Qin Xiweng was aware but didn't say anything, it was condoning his actions, combined with his control over finances, he was always reluctant to release too much money, as if it were his own.
What's most infuriating is that despite the clan being such a large company, he demanded paperwork even for small amounts like five or one yuan.
This is what angered Li Yi and Zhang Hua, so with Ye Hao's presence and Nangong Tianmi's question, they couldn't help but speak out.
"Jiang Zi, did I talk to you? I'm speaking with my boss; shut up." With Ye Hao present, Li Yi released all the frustration he had previously endured.
"You..."
"You what? Don't think that just because you're head of finance, you can do as you please. It's only because I haven't wanted to report you to President Qin, not wanting to bring him too many troubles, otherwise you would've been ousted long ago. But it's not too late; now that Chairman Ye is here, if you still hold this position, I, Li Yi, will give you my head as a seat." Li Yi said coldly.
Li Yi knows Ye Hao very well; Ye Hao cannot tolerate disunity among his people, and considering Jiang Zi was hired externally, once Ye Hao learns about Jiang Zi's situation of constantly withholding money from the brothers, he absolutely won't let him remain in the position.
If it were Qin Xiweng, Li Yi wouldn't be so sure, given Qin Xiweng has so many things to consider and hardly any ti at the clan headquarters, usually being tied up in social engagents.
"Li Yi, don't be so absolute; I've worked at the clan for almost a year, and without , the finance departnt may not run." Jiang Zi, angered by Li Yi, spoke his mind.
"Ha ha." Ye Hao and Qin Xiweng laughed.
Other people quietly watched the confrontation between Li Yi and Jiang Zi.
Hearing Jiang Zi's words, Zhang Hua and Li Yi burst into laughter, and Nangong Tianmi scoffed, "When it cos to financial managent, I've got two people under better than you."
"Ridiculous..." Jiang Zi replied with disdain.
Suddenly, Qin Xiweng stood up, his face still smiling, but his eyes showed unmistakable regret towards Li Yi and others, as if he had done sothing wrong to Li Yi and Zhang Hua.
"President Qin, don't you think they're being ridiculous? I manage the finances, yet they're saying I'm wrong." Jiang Zi spoke intimately with Qin Xiweng, as if he were his own father.
"Are you not?" Suddenly, Ye Hao stood, glaring sharply at Jiang Zi.
Under Ye Hao's sharp gaze, Jiang Zi felt as if searing needles were piercing his eyes.
"I..." Jiang Zi uttered, his eyes dodging Ye Hao's piercing gaze.
"Brothers, I, Ye Hao, am sorry to you!" Ye Hao sighed; the company had grown, even turning into a conglorate, but the brothers weren't doing well, which Ye Hao didn't know at all. He thought with Qin Xiweng watching over, the old brothers could live well, but they were doing worse than imaginable!
"I thought you were doing well, but you're worse off than I thought! Sorry, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as the big brother." Ye Hao deeply bowed to Li Yi and Zhang Hua, acknowledging his irresponsibility causing them suffering.
Seeing Ye Hao, Qin Xiweng said with a pang of sorrow, "Boss, I'm sorry; it's my fault, tornting the brothers."
Ye Hao sorrowfully waved his hand, saying, "It's not your fault, just that you have too much to handle."
Li Yi and Zhang Hua felt the old camaraderie with Ye Hao; hearing his remorseful sigh, their grievances dissolved. With Ye Hao's words, as bitter as life may be, it was all for that dream back then—to create their own power...
"Ah Yi, Zhang Hua, Gambling Life, Dong, San, I'm here to say sorry to you today, for my irresponsibility, overlooking your living conditions and the grievances you suffered. I always said nobody could make my brothers suffer; we must stand at the world's peak. Those words, I never forgot, yet forgot the original intent, causing you grievances. It won't happen again; trust ." Ye Hao said looking sadly at several old brothers present.
"Boss..." Lv Dong, Qiu San, Gambling Life, and others stood up together; they'd been silent since Ye Hao arrived, only ntally calling him boss.
Now they heard Ye Hao's promise; they found the promise he made back then. Ye Hao was still there, unchanged, though the company grew, requiring talent for managent, making it harder to gather like old tis.
"Brothers." Ye Hao walked around the eting table, hugging each one.
Qiu San was moved to tears, saying chokingly, "Boss, I thought you'd abandoned us brothers..."
"No, no," Ye Hao fervently patted Qiu San's back, speaking with a tremble.
It's been so long since he'd stood so close with these brothers, unchanged, yet they suffered...
"Waaah... Boss." Qiu San, finding an outlet, began to cry aloud.
It wasn't his lack of strength, but the warmth of brotherhood he felt.
Nangong Tianmi, Duanmu Renzhi, and others looked on with red eyes.
Suddenly, they envied this kind of brotherhood... (To be continued. If you like this work, rember to vote and recomnd on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, visit m.qidian to read.)
