Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: You Must Take Responsibility for What You Say

Being called Zhao Gushen feels so intimate.

This sense of favoritism is too obvious.

But now, Zhao Dingye couldn’t bother to argue about these.

He looked at the old man in shock: "Why? Why do you even want to remove my position?"

Zhao Guqing: "..."

The words said.

Weren’t we here to seek justice?

Are we really only seeking justice for Zhao Dingye, not for him?

The old man directly slapped the summary report sent by Xiao Ruofeng over the years on the profitability and losses of Changyi onto the table.

"This was the performance of Changyi when Ding Li took over, including the individual performance of each restaurant under Changyi and the total profits of each brand. More than thirty percent of them had negative growth."

"But in the five years after Ding Li took over, all had turned losses into gains, Changyi’s performance grew year by year, and customer satisfaction rates were constantly refreshing."

"This is the data from his last year at Changyi." the old man said, "Since you took over, it dropped five percent in the first year, ten percent in the second year. Up to now, it has dropped by thirty percent, nearing the data before Ding Li took over."

"Among them, the profits of the brands Molten Furnace Alley and Pu Zheng have dropped nearly 50%. More than half of the restaurants in these brands cannot meet the profit standard, and the restaurant attendance rate is getting lower."

"Although Changyi’s total annual income is still positive growth, in reality, many restaurants have already started losing money. The overall growth is just to look good, to fool outsiders, packaging itself to look better."

This kind of little trick, how could the old man not know.

But he never did it, Zhao Dingli and Zhao Gushen also never did it.

They disdain doing such things, more because they don’t need to do such things.

Because under their leadership, the company’s performance is genuinely impressive, without needing to embellish anything.

"Why, just because you are part of the Zhao Family, should we specially leave such a big company for you to ruin?" the old man said coldly, "The company’s employees, the employees of the restaurants under it, are all our responsibility. I can’t just for your sake, to support you, throw away so many people."

"No matter how deep the foundation, it can’t withstand being squandered like this!" the old man became angry as he spoke, "You used to say I didn’t give you a chance, so I handed Changyi over to you, gave you a chance to prove yourself. And what did you prove to me? Knowing you are not capable, why should I risk the family, risk so many people’s livelihoods?"

"We are not just making money for ourselves, we carry so many people’s livelihoods, we have to be responsible! Not for you to squander at will!" the old man said in a deep voice,

"I gave you a chance, but you didn’t prove yourself, then I can’t let the company continue down this path in your hands. As someone in the Zhao Family, I don’t expect you to be very promising, the Zhao Family can still support you as a freeloader, still live a good life, but it cannot support you to harm the Zhao Family’s company."

"There’s nothing wrong with being an idle person, the most important thing is to have self-awareness. Don’t overestimate yourself, misjudge your ability, and go on to harm when you are not capable!" the old man spoke very bluntly.

So blunt, it could be somewhat unpleasant.

At least to Zhao Dingye, it sounded particularly harsh.

The old man belittled him, leaving nothing untouched.

Especially with Zhao Guqing still by his side.

Being belittled like this in front of Zhao Guqing, being told he has no ability.

What dignity is left!

"These reports are recorded as they are. They are also on record in the company, we didn’t just make them up to deal with you." the old man said, "If you think what I’ve said is wrong, you can take it aside and check, see how your performance has been all these years!"

"You can’t even maintain a stable state, why should I use you? There are so many people who can maintain a stable state, wasn’t choosing you because you are from the Zhao Family? Do you really think you have ability? And the result? You can’t even maintain a stable state. So why should I disregard a lot of talented people outside who can manage Changyi vibrantly and insist on using you?"

"Our entire family is certainly not here to serve your arrogance!" the old man said firmly.

After the old man finished, the topic shifted to Zhao Gushen.

"The dismissal order for Gu Qing was indeed given by me." Zhao Gushen said, "Because I can’t tolerate someone who always seeks to harm my wife and children, even if he is part of my family. Oh no, if it really were family, how could he want to harm his own family?"

Zhao Dingye looked at Zhao Guqing in disbelief.

What was going on!

"What do you mean harming your wife and children!" Zhao Guqing said sternly, "Zhao Gushen, you must take responsibility for your words!"
