Chapter 1205 Exclusion
"Then, what should we do!" Jia Kuan said as if grasping at a straw.
"Hao, you have to help me even more. If my wife and I are both fired, how will our family survive? We'll probably starve!"

"Besides, you're back in this position now. If you don't take care of me, who will?"

"Let me help you!" Seeing Jia Kuan back down, Lin Hao proudly raised his chin and said:

"How about this, you stand up and kowtow to me, then I'll take care of you!"

"Get out of here!" Jia Kuan said irritably. "Give you a kowtow? I'll make you kowtow to death!"

"Then you'd better pray for yourself!" Lin Hao couldn't help but tease again, "Don't look for me, and I won't look for you either!"

"Kid, I'll kowtow to you, as long as you can handle it!" Jia Kuan, who had initially looked helpless, suddenly got excited and took two steps back, actually kowtowing to Lin Hao.
"All men are brothers under heaven; in times of turmoil, harmony is paramount. May Lord Hao be blessed!"

Just as Jia Kuan's hand touched the ground and he kowtowed to Lin Hao, Jiang Nan knocked on the door and came in.

"President Lin~!" Jiang Nan stared blankly at Jia Kuan on the ground.

Jia Kuan deliberately searched the ground for a moment, then muttered to himself:
"Xiao Jiang is here. Let me tell you, look, there are scratches on the ground. I'll have the property management come and fix them for you in a bit!"

At this moment, Jiang Nan immediately understood that Lin Hao was probably playing a trick on Jia Kuan again, so she stood aside with a suppressed laugh and let it go.

"Alright, you guys chat first!" Jia Kuan said through gritted teeth to Lin Hao, "You agreed to what I just told you!"

"Let's go, Xiao Jiang!" Jia Kuan said, quickly leaving the office.

"Take care, Brother Kuan!" Jiang Nan said with a smile.

Seeing Jia Kuan leave, Lin Hao added, "Remember to knock next time you come in!"

Jia Kuan, who had left Lin Hao's office with a humble expression, went straight to the tea room to make himself a cup of tea.

Jia Kuan, who was originally uneasy, now felt more at ease. Although his good brother had become his superior again, as long as his good brother was there, he would never suffer any loss.

As for the optimization issue, it was naturally resolved, and Jia Kuan was extremely pleased.

Just then, two female employees were heard walking and talking about Lin Hao's return to VG.

"I never imagined that President Lin would actually be able to return to VG!" a long-haired girl exclaimed.

"Didn't he ruin our previous bidding? How can we get back?" another short-haired girl said, puzzled.
"A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed, especially one that's messed with us!"

“There are no eternal enemies!” the long-haired girl said with a smile.

"That makes sense!" The short-haired girl nodded in agreement.

"Cough cough~!" At this moment, Jia Kuan deliberately coughed twice.

"Brother Kuan!" The two girls turned around at the same time when they heard the voice, and found that it was Jia Kuan. So they went up to greet him.

Seeing the two girls looking at him, Jia Kuan felt a surge of smugness, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"Speaking of Lin Hao, when he left, he slammed his fist on the table and started cursing in Andy's office!"

"Andy brought him back this time, which is considered an admission of wrongdoing!" Seeing that he had attracted their attention, Jia Kuan said smugly:
"Who is Andy? They must have something important to ask of him to bring him back!"

"Come on, let me reintroduce you!" The long-haired girl knew Jia Kuan's desire to show off, so she pulled the short-haired girl along and introduced them:
"Our Brother Kuan is President Lin's old classmate; they slept in the same dorm for four years!"

"You're really hiding your true abilities!" the short-haired girl exclaimed with admiration.

It must be said that these girls' acting skills are far superior to Jia Kuan's, and they have silently satisfied Jia Kuan's desire to show off.

The short-haired girl said with envy, "Brother Kuan, you'll have connections in high places that will make things much easier for you in the future!"

"It's easy to handle!" Jia Kuan's smile never faded, but he feigned composure and said, "Keep it low-key!"

Seeing Jia Kuan's seemingly low-key but actually pretentious expression, the long-haired girl just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this point, the short-haired girl asked with a curious look, "So what caused you to fall out back then?"

Jia Kuan said with a sigh, "Well, that's a long story!"

"Back then, when things were going well, Xiao Hao foresaw the current predicament and made plans and preparations in advance."

“But those foreign executives not only disagreed, they even joined forces to ostracize him. How could my brother stand that?”

"They just left!"

"Wow, Mr. Lin is pretty tough!" the short-haired girl exclaimed, her eyes shining.

Jia Kuan got excited at this point and continued to boast about the secrets from back then:

"Actually, Andy and he have a pretty good relationship. Not long after Xiao Hao graduated, he went to study in Europe!"

"I met Andy there, and it was Andy who got him into VG!"

The short-haired girl said with a look of longing, "So that means Mr. Lin studied in Europe and became Andy's student!"

"Not entirely!" Jia Kuan thought for a moment. Although he didn't know Lin Hao's purpose, he decided to reveal some information about Lin Hao.

Otherwise, VG's employees don't understand Lin Hao at all, which is not conducive to his actions. So he said with a mysterious look:

"Your Mr. Lin comes from a prominent family. His parents are big names in the industry, and his sister and brother-in-law are major shareholders of Chengkang. Strictly speaking, he's a young master!"

"Later, he had a falling out with his family and was about to go to Europe to work before finishing his master's degree. That's when he met Andy, and all the things that happened afterward occurred!"

"Is that so?!" Hearing Jia Kuan recount these secrets immediately captivated the long-haired girl, who then asked with a curious expression:

"Then why is that?!"

At this moment, Jia Kuan asked mysteriously, "Can you keep this a secret and not let it be spread?"

The short-haired girl immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Brother Kuan, we promise that once we leave this door, we won't mention it again and will pretend we know nothing!"

"Don't worry, Brother Kuan!" The long-haired girl and the short-haired girl exchanged a glance and said, "We're both tight-lipped!"

At this moment, Jia Kuan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I'm just like you, I'm also the kind of person who keeps secrets!"

"And then?" The long-haired girl looked at Jia Kuan with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.

"And then, I'm keeping someone's secret, what do you expect me to tell you two!"

Without the pressure of optimization, Jia Kuan had the leisure to spend his time teasing these girls.

"Brother Kuan~!" the short-haired girl whined, her voice a sweet, melodious twang. "Brother Kuan, that's not fair!" the long-haired girl retorted indignantly, but then added enviously.
"However, no matter what, now that President Lin is back, Brother Kuan, you're all set. This optimization thing won't be your turn anymore!"

Seeing their envious expressions, Jia Kuan was overjoyed, and then shamelessly said:
"Speaking of optimization, even if it really does apply to me, it's because I'm not as skilled as others, it has nothing to do with Lin Hao!"

"We won't beg anyone. Even if we die, we'll die standing. That's the kind of integrity your brother Kuan has!"

"Brother Kuan is a real man!" Both girls gave Jia Kuan a thumbs up, while secretly being incredibly envious.

At this moment, Liu Yingxia also entered the tea room, glanced at Jia Kuan who was joking around with the two girls, and then found a seat to sit down.

"She's in charge of employee optimization," the two girls said politely at the same time.
"Director Liu!"

"Hello, Director Liu!"

"Director Liu!" Jia Kuan greeted him as well.

Although the two were husband and wife, they had always kept their relationship a secret from the company, and therefore usually treated each other as superiors and subordinates, never daring to reveal it.

In foreign companies and some large enterprises, although there are no explicit rules, there is a common unspoken rule in important departments to "avoid spouses working in the same department or having a superior-subordinate relationship" in order to prevent conflicts of interest and nepotism from causing management chaos.

"Brother Kuan, we're going to get some water!" The two girls quickly left.

Jia Kuan nodded, then poured himself a cup of coffee and walked toward Liu Yingxia with a radiant smile.

"Go ahead and chat!" Liu Yingxia glared at Jia Kuan.

"Director Liu, your coffee!" Jia Kuan, looking smug, placed the coffee in front of Liu Yingxia.

However, it would be a lie to say that Liu Yingxia wasn't jealous when she caught Jia Kuan whispering with a female employee, and she naturally didn't give Jia Kuan a pleasant look.

"Thank you!" After saying that, she tried to kick Jia Kuan, but seeing that no one was paying attention, Jia Kuan quickly dodged to the side.

"What's wrong?" Jia Kuan asked in a low voice.

"Let's go!" Liu Yingxia said irritably.

"Me~!" Jia Kuan, who had been somewhat smug, said as he walked, holding his teacup:
"Director Liu, please enjoy your drink. I'll be going now!"

······
On the other side, Jiang Nan said with a worried look:
"President Lin, I just visited all the relevant departments and left my contact information with them!"

"But...!"

Seeing that Jiang Nan hesitated and didn't continue, Lin Hao added, "They don't seem very friendly, do they?"

"Yes!" Jiang Nan nodded vigorously, then said somewhat dejectedly:
"Look, it's almost noon, and none of the operations department staff have come to say hello. That's really strange!"

Lin Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not surprising. What's the first step in carrying out localization reforms?"

"Personnel adjustments will be made to the ratio of local to foreign employees. The ideal ratio is eight to two, ensuring equal treatment for all employees and emphasizing the integration of local culture!"

"So personnel optimization is inevitable!" Lin Hao nodded, indicating that his secretary had hit the nail on the head.

"But no one has thought of this yet!" Jiang Nan said with a hint of sadness.

"It feels like they're targeting you personally; they all think you're the reason for this optimization!"

Similar to Jia Kuan's warning, they all believed that Lin Hao had snatched Su's order, causing VG's major failure, which led Andy to want localization reforms, resulting in the employee optimization.

"President Lin, this situation is not conducive to our work!" Secretary Jiang Nan reminded him, "They don't know the inside story of our merger, let alone that you are the real owner of VG!"

Lin Hao smiled and said nonchalantly, "Andy brought Liu Yingxia here because he wanted to reform the localization process but didn't want to be criticized!"

"Liu Yingxia didn't want to be criticized, so she brought in Jian Ai. But Jian Ai's arrival only made things more chaotic, and this fire is bound to spread to VG's middle management!"

"And we've come at this time, making us scapegoats. So what do you suggest we do now?"

"Are you afraid of offending people?" Jiang Nan said with a smile. "You are the real boss of VG!"

Lin Hao pointed at Jiang Nan, then reminded her:
"Don't go around saying things like that. Let Andy do this kind of troublesome and laborious work!"

"I am the most suitable person for this position. I can monitor the company's movements at any time and control Andy's direction. The key is that with Andy as my ox and horse, I don't have to worry about the company's development."

"So what do you plan to do?" Jiang Nan asked playfully.

"Let's make do and eat!" He then led Jiang Nan to the company cafeteria.

The two then went to the cafeteria, and from the moment they started getting their food, everyone in the company subconsciously avoided them.

Firstly, although Lin Hao was once a high-ranking executive in the company, after leaving VG, he actually retaliated against VG by intercepting and targeting them, putting them in a predicament of being optimized.

Secondly, since he had just arrived, he was appointed to a senior position in the company, which naturally made some people resentful. Why was he invited back to the company to become their superior after offending VG?

At this moment, Lin Hao and Jiang Nan carried their trays to a table, but the nearby employees looked at them as if they were plague gods, which made Jiang Nan feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Jiang Nan knew Lin Hao's trump card, so she didn't care at all and sat down at the table with Lin Hao without paying any attention to the hostile looks from others.

"How about it? The food in the cafeteria is pretty good, isn't it?" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"The food here is really good, it smells delicious!" Jiang Nan praised politely.

Meanwhile, Liu Yingxia, who was eating, saw Lin Hao's situation and said to Jian Ai with some sigh:
"Look, when Andy came here, it wasn't like this!"

"This is only his first day at work, how can he be like this? He's practically a legend!"

Jane noticed what was happening in the cafeteria and said with a sense of pride, "If he didn't have this much ability, I wouldn't have fallen for him in the first place!"

"Don't dwell on the past. He's your ex-husband now, so why are you still so arrogant?" Liu Yingxia said speechlessly.

After all, they were already divorced, yet she still regarded her ex-husband's glory as her own, which left Liu Yingxia speechless.

However, Jane didn't care at all, and instead said with a proud look:

"It's like I'm admiring a work of art that I once nurtured. Even though I've thrown it away now, it doesn't stop me from being proud of it!"

"I'm really impressed with you!" Liu Yingxia couldn't help but complain when she saw her best friend like this, and then glanced at Lin Hao and Jiang Nan.

Finally, turning his gaze to Jiang Nan, who radiated youthful energy and was decisive and unpretentious, he said with some envy:

"His taste is quite good. The secretary's skirt is so short, I've never seen you dress like that before!"
