Chapter 1630

"What? They’ve cleared out all our people?"

Listening to the assistant’s report, Zhao Junqi’s brow furrowed.

"Yes!"

Then, he reported all the information he had gathered one by one.

Including how Zhao Junyao fell into despair, flew into a rage, and how he laid off staff, etc.

After listening, Zhao Junqi wore a look of disdain.

"Heh, that’s all he’s capable of!"

"And he thinks he can fight with me!"

"Now, how are our contract volumes?"

The assistant said with confidence and some pride.

"Our contract volumes aren’t an issue, we’ve recruited two top salespeople into the team, and it’s expected to rise another level in the future!"

"By the end of the year, it won’t be easy for them to surpass us over there!"

Zhao Junqi had a sinister expression and smiled smugly.

"Hmph! It’s already doubled his, and in the future, it’ll be three times, four times!"

"Surpass? How to surpass? Does he have the capability?"

The assistant smiled confidently as well.

"This way, our people are even more motivated! You just wait to be promoted to chairman!"

Zhao Junqi smiled smugly, resting his neck on the back of the chair nonchalantly.

"Naturally!"

"By then, all of you loyal to me will be credited contributors!"

"As for their people, I’ll deal with them well!"

"By the way!"

He instructed again.

"They’ve laid off personnel over there, so they’re definitely going to recruit again!"

"See if you can send a couple of plants in there, they’re too cunning, we can’t be careless!"

"Yes!"

"Don’t worry, just wait and see!"

The assistant left with a confident smile.

Zhao Junqi turned around in his chair, looking at the urban landscape with skyscrapers outside the window.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his arms as if to embrace.

Soon!

Soon all of this will be his!

Zhao Junyao, so what if you’re the most legitimate heir?

If you lack the capability, you can’t become chairman, nor gain control of the company.

All of this will be mine, and by then, I’ll take back everything bit by bit that rightfully belongs to me!

We’ll see!

...

As autumn turned chilly, Old Master Zhao’s health plunged into crisis once more.

Inside the high-class hospital ward.

Zhao Junyao sat at the bedside, his heart aching as he watched the old man covered with tubes.

Zhao Junqi and Shih Yueshu also sat to the side, but their sadness seemed far more insincere.

Zhao Zongqing glanced at the mother and son, then at Zhao Junyao, weakly waving his hand.

"Yaoyao, you two go out first, I have something to say to your mother!"

Zhao Junyao glanced at Zhao Junqi, the two exchanged a look and got up to leave.

The ward was left with only Shih Yueshu.

Finally, it wasn’t sending their mother and son out to leave him to speak to his biological son, Shih Yueshu was still quite pleased.

"Old man, just say what you have to say, I’m listening!"

Zhao Zongqing smiled bitterly, laboriously speaking slowly.

"I..."

"I’m afraid... I’m afraid I won’t last this year!"

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Shih Yueshu feigned a few tears.

"You’re still young, our family can afford the best doctors, don’t worry, you’ll definitely be cured!"

Zhao Zongqing shook his head.

"It’s useless!"

"I know my own body!"

"Don’t waste your efforts!"

"In this life, the person I’ve most let down is... you!"

Hearing this, Shih Yueshu’s eyes slightly reddened.

She said nothing but in her heart, she strongly agreed:

You have let me down, you’ve never treated me as a wife, always guarded against me like a thief!

Especially after I brought my son by my side, even more so, guarded against our mother and son.

Actually, I didn’t want to fight with you over these things, you forced us.

Zhao Zongqing knew what she was thinking, smirked inwardly, but looked guiltily on the surface.

"So, I’ve already made a will and given it to a lawyer!"

"After I pass away, he will know what to do!"

Shih Yueshu: "..."

Telling her a will was made, yet not letting her know the contents of the will.

Heh, he was still guarding against her.

All talk about being sorry, yet it’s just the same!

"Don’t, don’t talk nonsense, you’ll be fine!"

Shih Yueshu’s expression turned cold, not even bothering to feign tears.

Zhao Zongqing coldly watched her expression, feeling ironic once again.

"Go call Junqi in, I have something to say to him!"

Shih Yueshu seemed somewhat impatient.

"Old man, the doctor said you need rest, just sleep for a while!"

"The rest can wait!"

He still had things to say to his son.

Was it to tell him, I’ve left you two houses, after I die, the houses will be yours?

Heh, who cares, better not let him come, to avoid sullying his ears.

Zhao Zongqing paused for a moment, said nothing more, complied and closed his eyes to rest.

Shih Yueshu stood in the ward for a while longer, estimating he was asleep, and then left knocking her high heels loudly.

After a while, someone pushed the door open and came in.

Zhao Zongqing opened his eyes and saw it was Zhao Junyao.

"You’re here?"

He slightly sat up.

Zhao Junyao hurriedly came forward to support him.

"Don’t move, you still have a drip on!"

Zhao Zongqing shook his head to indicate no matter, sat up anyway, the father and son locking eyes.

"They’ve gone?"

Zhao Junyao nodded.

"They’ve all gone!"

Zhao Zongqing was very satisfied.

"I originally didn’t want to say so, but they linger here without leaving, there’s no other way!"

Zhao Junyao remained silent, Zhao Zongqing smiled bitterly, opening up.

"This is all my sin!"

"I let your mother down! This could be my retribution!"

He never imagined his first love would turn out like this.

Bringing someone else’s child to bully his own child, even trying to seize the family inheritance and risk his son’s life.

The Zhao Group is too vast, presumably, they’ve been eyeing it greedily for a long time.

If only Shih Yueshu had some nostalgia, caring for him even a little, he wouldn’t be so ruthless.

But now... freⅇ

Heh, it’s too late to say anything.

"What’s done is done!"

"Father, you don’t have to blame yourself too much!" Zhao Junyao consoled.

Zhao Zongqing looked at him worriedly.

"Silly child, I’ve heard from Old Xia, you’ve suffered lately!"

Zhao Junyao opened his mouth.

"Not suffering, just can’t remember past events, relearning is a bit difficult!"

"But rest assured father, I’ll give it my all!"

Zhao Zongqing nodded.

"That’s my son!"

"Old Xia will... support you fully! Cough, cough!"

Suddenly remembering something, he tightly grasped Zhao Junyao’s hand.

"Hasn’t there been any evidence found regarding your car accident back then?"

Thinking of what he had secretly kept, Zhao Junyao hesitated but still denied.

"No!"

"Father, rest assured, I’ll definitely find the evidence!"

Actually, he should tell his father the truth.

But with people coming and going everywhere here, the timing wasn’t right, so he said nothing.

Zhao Zongqing stared at his son for a few seconds, then lay back down, closing his eyes.

"I hope to see you catch the real culprit before I close my eyes!"
