Although Gu Ning disliked Ma Lequan's attitude towards his father, she couldn't completely deny his character. Normally, he would act like that because of his inferiority complex and vanity.
Even so, they were a family after all. His father gave him money because he hoped that he could live a good life, so Gu Ning wouldn't ruin their relationship.
However, if it was possible, she hoped that Ma Lequan could understand his parents and not oppress them.
Even though he accepted his parents' kindness, he couldn't ignore them when he was in a difficult situation.
If he could do it, she was willing to give him a chance, but it was up to him whether he wanted it or not.
She didn't have the right to ask him to change anything, but she had the right to decide whether he could stay or leave.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Gu. I shouldn't have taken my parents' money. I'll give it back to my father right now. Please give me a chance." Ma Lequan admitted his mistake at once. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he respected Gu Ning, his boss, very much. Therefore, he listened to Gu Ning's words.
However, he had crossed the line.
Saying that, he gave the money back to his father at once.
"Well …" The old man was unwilling to take it, because he was willing to give his son the money. However, after knowing Gu Ning's identity and hearing Gu Ning's words, he was afraid that Ma Lequan would be fired if he didn't take it.
Therefore, the old man held the money with both hands, and it wasn't appropriate for him to take it.
"Old man, I won't stop you from your son, but I hope that you can think for yourself and your wife," said Gu Ning. Because it was their family affair, Gu Ning didn't say too much. She then turned to look at Ma Lequan. "I'm not stopping you from taking the money, but you can't abandon your parents just because you've taken the money. They've sold the only place they can live in, but you don't allow them to live with you. It's unreasonable. Besides, the person who truly loves you won't force you to do anything you don't want to. Of course, it's not wrong that she needs a house and stability, but it's better for her to work hard on her own. "
Gu Ning said, "The person who truly loves you won't force you to do anything." She didn't mean to sow discord between them. She just wanted to remind him to be more rational.
"Chairman Gu, I understand. I will reflect on my actions." Ma Lequan nodded. He did understand what Gu Ning said, and realized that he had made a mistake.
Of course, people couldn't change completely in a short period of time because some personalities had long been formed into habits.
Gu Ning didn't expect him to become a filial son immediately. She just hoped that no matter what he did, he would think about his parents' situation. He didn't want them to work so hard in their old age and people would scold him for being unfilial.
No one was perfect, and every family had its own difficulties. As long as he was still acceptable and didn't let her find anything she couldn't stand or accept, she wouldn't fire him just like that.
After this incident, Ma Lequan indeed stopped exploiting his parents, partly because he felt that he shouldn't do that, and partly because he was afraid of Gu Ning.
However, after this incident, Ma Lequan's father still gave Ma Lequan two hundred thousand yuan, and left a hundred thousand yuan for himself and his wife.
Ma Lequan also didn't abandon his parents. He still sent some living expenses back home every month. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for them to eat and dress well.
Of course, it was all in the future.
Before Gu Ning left, she told Ma Lequan to take his father to have a meal and buy some clothes for his parents. It was cold now, so how could they keep warm in such a thin layer of clothes?
After that, she sent him to the bus station to take a bus, then went back to the company.
Although Ma Lequan's house was in the town, it wasn't far from the capital. It only took him two hours to get there by car.
Several staff members at the front desk looked outside from time to time, trying to see what had happened after Gu Ning left.
Although they were far away and couldn't hear what they were talking about, they could see Gu Ning.
From Ma Lequan's behavior, they could tell that Gu Ning had criticized Ma Lequan, and Ma Lequan was afraid of Gu Ning.
"Alas! I hope that Ma Lequan won't be so bad. His father looks so pitiful. "
"Exactly! It seems that our boss has criticized Ma Lequan. I hope that Ma Lequan will listen to her and treat his father better. "
"Although many things happen for a reason, and some children become more ruthless because their parents have gone too far, it seems that his father isn't a bad person."
"Alright, Chairwoman Gu is here. Let's stop talking about it."
Hearing that, everyone fell silent at once.
Fu Yanming didn't know what had happened downstairs, nor did he know that Gu Ning was here. He didn't know until Gu Ning came to his office.
Fu Yanming reported the company's current situation to Gu Ning. Although there were some people who schemed against them from time to time, there weren't any major problems, and the sales of their products were still booming.
Gu Ning stayed in the company for about an hour before she left. She called Yu Zi and asked her where she was and whether she was free. If she was free, they could meet.
Yu Zi was already famous in the fashion industry now, and she was also a famous designer, so Charm gradually introduced high-end gowns and wedding gowns.
Many stars also ordered gowns and wedding gowns designed and made by Yu Zi herself, so Yu Zi was very busy.
However, no matter how busy she was, she still had time to eat, sleep, and go on dates, but she didn't have much time to go on dates.
Yang Ziqian felt tortured in his heart because his girlfriend was too busy, and she didn't even have much time to go on dates.
Therefore, when Yu Zi was too busy to go on dates, and Yang Ziqian happened to be free, he would come to accompany Yu Zi.
Because of that, many people in the company were envious of Yu Zi, and they couldn't help feeling jealous of Yu Zi's love.
Although Yu Zi became famous and her social status soared, she didn't become arrogant, and her attitude towards Yang Ziqian didn't change. They were still in love with each other.
Anyway, since Gu Ning was back in City B, Yu Zi needed to meet her, but they could only meet in the company, so Gu Ning had to go there in person.
Gu Ning didn't have the intention to let Yu Zi meet her, so she simply asked Yu Zi whether she was in the company right now.
When she arrived at the company, she saw Peng Xiaoman.
