"SiSi, come to the company right away."
Upon receiving her father’s call, Yang SiSi could infer from her father's urgency that there was a major situation happening in the company.
Rushing to the headquarters of Zhengde Group, she could feel that the atmosphere of the company was different. What on earth had happened?
"Dad, what happened?" Yang SiSi saw her father's head bowed, his hands clutching his head and appearing vexed.
Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Yang XiMon looked up. It had only been a few days since they last met, yet he seemed to age ten years. Grey hair sprouted at his temples.
"Dad, is there a problem?" Yang SiSi hurried over, her eyebrows furrowed with concern as she looked at her father.
Yang XiMon didn’t know where to start. Once he spoke, he was afraid it would only get harder for his daughter.
The alarm in the office rang. It was set by Yang XiMon to remind him to prepare for daily meetings.
The rapid growth of the Zhengde Group was not because of luck or a head start.
As the founder and chairman of the Zhengde Group, he could have easily handled everything, but for years, he never slacked off.
Even as the Zhengde Group had seen substantial growth in the past six months, he kept reminding himself of his original intention. Good habits allowed him to contribute more to the company's development.
One of his frequently spoken phrases was "running a company is a long race. Some people laugh at the start, but some win in the end. We aim to be the ones who laugh in the end, hence, we can't slack off!"
However, this time he didn’t end up laughing. He was removed midway, betrayed by the man his daughter trusts the most!
"Dad, it's time for your meeting. Go to the meeting first. We'll talk after it's over."
Yang SiSi knew how important these meetings were to her father, in all these years, he had never missed or even been late for one.
Even that instance when his wife was critically ill, his duty was to wrap up the meeting first before he'd rush to the hospital.
However, today, it seems that her father is going to break this routine.
Once the alarm was dismissed, Yang Ximon laughed bitterly,"No more, never again."
"Dad, what are you talking about? Why do you say such morbid words!"
In Yang Xi's eyes, her father had always been resilient, just like a mountain, unbowed by even the fiercest storms.
Definitely, the company must have faced a colossal calamity. Nevertheless, they could all find a solution together. "Dad, we still have Lu Bin. We can all brainstorm for a solution together."
"Don't mention him to me!" Yang Ximon abruptly became emotional and began yelling at his daughter.
Yang Xi was taken aback with surprise, her face pale as she blankly stared at her father.
Yang Ximon realized his outburst. No matter if all of his daughter's shares were deceived away by Di Lu Bin, he shouldn't yell at his precious daughter. It wasn't her fault.
It was his fault for not recognizing the true colors of Di Lu Bin, not only costing them the Zhengde Group but also implicating his daughter.
"Xi Xi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you." Yang Ximon stood up, circled the desk, walked in front of his daughter, and pulled her into an embrace.
"Everything will be fine. I will find a way to start over again. There is still hope left!"
Right now, he had almost lost everything. Thankfully, he still had his daughter.
As he thought about this, Yang Ximon couldn’t help but tear up.
The office door was pushed open. It was Di Lu Bin who had arrived.
