Chapter 1214 Reconciliation
Lin Hao feigned ignorance and asked:
“You’ve studied with me for so long, don’t you understand that when it comes to employee downsizing, someone always has to take the blame? What did Andy promise you? Didn’t you mention it to Andy?”

“I did mention it!” Liu Yingxia quickly said, “That was my first reaction after I received the optimization plan!”

"So I asked Andy directly if I was being scapegoated, and if I was the last one to be laid off after the staff was laid off!"

"What did Andy say?" Lin Hao asked immediately.

Liu Yingxia thought for a moment, then said decisively:

"At the time, Andy said that there was a contract binding me, and that I was definitely not going to be the scapegoat. He said that I was appointed in a time of crisis and that I would not be laid off because of this!"

"Can't you even understand such a simple phrase?" Lin Hao looked at Liu Yingxia as if she were an idiot.

Liu Yingxia said with some annoyance, "At first I didn't know, I was only thinking about how to keep Jia Kuan's job!"

"By the time I realized what was happening, the work had already started to be optimized. Jane Ai also reminded me of this later!"

"So you know, it was Jane who helped you!" Lin Hao said, feigning sudden realization.

"Is that what you call helping?" Liu Yingxia said indignantly, recalling Jian Ai's words earlier. "She did so many things behind my back, is that what you call helping?"

Looking at the agitated Liu Yingxia, Lin Hao asked calmly, "Liu Yingxia, in what capacity are you speaking to me right now?"

"Yes!" Liu Yingxia didn't know what to say, because whatever she said would be wrong.

"You said she did a lot behind your back, do you know what that is?" Seeing Liu Yingxia lower her head and remain silent, Lin Hao continued:
"She realized that your position as HR director was unstable and wanted to help you keep it. The reason she did it behind your back was so that she wouldn't let her best friend appreciate it!"

Liu Yingxia kept her head down and didn't speak, because she knew why, but she couldn't get over it in her heart, and she was also a little too embarrassed to admit it.

"I guess you probably think Jane wants to take your place!" Before Liu Yingxia could retort, Lin Hao continued:
"I don't know what you're thinking, but as Jane's best friend, do you think it's possible for her, with her proud personality, to take over your position as director?"

"Based on my understanding of her, she will handle everything in the future well, and then a new director will come in to reap the rewards!"

"Airdropped?" Liu Yingxia's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously.

At this point, Lin Hao said with certainty:

"From the moment you agreed to Andy's proposal to implement employee optimization, your fate was already sealed. If you do well and meet Andy's requirements, then you will continue to serve as the HR Director."

"If you don't do a good job, you'll definitely be the scapegoat. Although Andy said he wouldn't fire you, he'll at least reassign you!"

"As for being ostracized by other employees after the job transfer, which led to your resignation, that's none of his business!"

"Of course, you can choose to resign now. You can leave now, and at least you won't be ostracized!"

Liu Yingxia opened her mouth, then fell into deep thought.

Based on her understanding of Lin Hao and her current situation, things will most likely develop as Lin Hao predicted.

Then Liu Yingxia said somewhat unwillingly, "I've seen her plan, and it's extremely difficult to implement!"

At this point, Liu Yingxia said with a hint of disappointment, "Besides, my abilities aren't as good as Jian Ai's. If I don't do well..."

If she doesn't do well, just like Lin Hao said, she won't be able to keep her position as director. Jia Kuan has already lost her job, and if she loses this position or even her job, it's unimaginable.

"Oh dear!" Liu Yingxia sighed and said, "I'm sorry, President Lin, I lost my composure!"

Lin Hao said earnestly, "I know you've been a bit confused lately, but I can tell you the truth: I haven't seen Jian Ai's plan, and I don't think anyone else has either. She originally intended to give it to you!"

"President Lin, all this~!" Actually, Liu Yingxia wanted to ask who had sent him to say all this.

"I would never say such things if they weren't one of our own!" Lin Hao interrupted her directly, then got back to the main point:

"So now I want to ask you, do you want to continue doing this or not?"

Liu Yingxia looked at Lin Hao. She could roughly guess that it was Jia Kuan who had asked Lin Hao to persuade her.

Lin Hao's advice was indeed effective. After calming down, she realized that she had been a bit petty.

"I know what I need to do!" Liu Yingxia then said solemnly, "President Lin, thank you for the meeting!"

"I'll refine that plan a bit more, and I'll send it to you when it's done!" Since there's no turning back, we can only forge ahead.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Yingxia said gratefully.

"Okay, it's good that you can understand. Don't keep things bottled up inside. You still have your husband and us friends. Just talk things out!"

······
Back in her office, Liu Yingxia closed her eyes and pondered for a while. In fact, she had always envied Jian Ai.

She has a good family, a high level of education, a loving husband, and outstanding abilities; she is practically the template for the life she most desires.

But Jane was being difficult and wanted a divorce. She was even invited to work for her. During this time, Jane worked under her, and Jane handled everything very well, which made her feel quite proud and triumphant, like a serf who had been liberated and was now singing a song of triumph.

But the in-depth optimization plan that Jane Ai made today made her realize her own shortcomings.

Lin Hao's analysis during their conversation was like a wake-up call, instantly making her realize that she had indeed become somewhat lax in recent years, even her basic alertness had become dulled, and she had even become somewhat stubborn about both family and work.

Fortunately, he realized his mistake early enough that he hadn't lost Jia Kuan or his friends.

So he should apologize to Jane and ask for her help when necessary. However, although he was grateful to Jane, he should still fight for what he needed to fight for.

Then she brought the coffee to Jane's office. When Jane saw Liu Yingxia like this, she immediately realized that someone was helping her and guessed who it was. Thinking of this, she felt quite sweet inside.

"Sit down!" After gesturing for Liu Yingxia to sit down, Jian Ai said calmly, "I'll refine it a bit more, and then I'll send it to you!"

Liu Yingxia smiled and placed the coffee in front of Jian Ai, then said apologetically, "You've worked hard!"

"You've worked hard!" Seeing that Liu Yingxia no longer had any complaints, Jian Ai said irritably:
"Go back and quickly review it and memorize it, so you can tell everyone in the HR department later!"

"There's also a report version that needs to be sent to Lin Hao and Andy by you!"

"Okay, I got it!" Liu Yingxia said with a forced smile.

Jane glanced at the coffee, then said indifferently, "Can't you come up with something new? You keep giving me this lousy company coffee every day!"

"Grandma, you should be content!" Liu Yingxia immediately cried out in distress upon hearing this.
"The company's best coffee beans are all yours to drink. I can't even have any if I want some!"

"Let's go get some milk tea!" Jane said with a grin.

"Too high in calories!" Liu Yingxia said with some disdain.

"You need heat to have motivation!"

"I get easily agitated when I'm motivated!" "Then let's get agitated!"

·····
Meanwhile, Jia Kuan saw Liu Yingxia reconcile with Jian Ai, so he went to Lin Hao's office with a sly grin.

"Brother Hao, thank you so much!" Jia Kuan cupped his hands in thanks and said, "You're pretty good at dealing with my wife, even better than I am!"

"But then again, you can even handle my wife, so why can't you handle Jian Ai!" With his worries gone, Jia Kuan teased Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked at Jia Kuan speechlessly, and said, "That's because your wife is at the Chinese Super League level, while Jian Ai is at the English Premier League level!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Hey, which team do you think will perform well in the Premier League this year?"

"It has to be Manchester City!"

"I think Liverpool still has a chance to overtake Manchester City!"

"No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible!"

They were chatting enthusiastically when Jia Kuan suddenly realized something and said, "Hey, have we gone off-topic?"

"That's right!" Lin Hao nodded in agreement. "We've been talking about everything from your wife to the Premier League, so what brings you here, old man?"

"I mainly came to thank you!" Jia Kuan said with a face full of gratitude.
"Seriously, my wife just texted me, telling me to cook a nice meal when I get home tonight so she can get some nutrition and get ready for a big feast!"

Lin Hao looked Jia Kuan up and down, and seeing his thin and bony appearance, nodded in agreement and said:
You need to make up for it properly. You can leave early today, but I won't cook you a meal!
"You need to cook two meals. Cook one more for me tomorrow and bring it to me. I don't eat leftovers!"

"What are you thinking!" Jia Kuan immediately retorted, displeased. "You're being picky! I'm cooking for my wife, you're not my wife!"

"Look at how stingy you are!" Before Lin Hao could finish speaking, Jiang Nan came in and, seeing Jia Kuan there, greeted him:

"Kuan-ge is here too!"

"Little Jiang is here!" Jia Kuan greeted him.

Jiang Nan nodded, then said with a look of relief, "That's great, someone downstairs is looking for you two!"

"Looking for us?"

"Who is it?" Lin Hao and Jia Kuan asked at the same time.

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "She's a young, fashionable, and very beautiful girl!"

"Who is it?" Jia Kuan subconsciously looked at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao also looked at Jia Kuan at the same time and said, "Let's go see!"

······
As soon as Lin Hao and Jia Kuan arrived downstairs, a girl greeted them.

"Brother-in-law, over here!" Huizi greeted Lin Hao and Jia Kuan immediately upon seeing them.

"Brother-in-law? Your relative!" Seeing Lin Hao smile without saying a word, Jia Kuan instantly realized what was going on and asked in a low voice:
"Zhou Yiming's?"

"Wow, you've gotten smarter!"

"That's right!" Jia Kuan suddenly realized, and quickly retorted, "No, I wasn't stupid before!"

The two then walked up to Huizi, who immediately said happily:

"I didn't bring anything when I came to see you, so please have some cake!"

Jia Kuan looked at the cake and said politely, "You've come all this way, why bring anything else?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Did Yiming ask you to deliver this to us?"

"No, I bought it for my two brothers-in-law!" Huizi thought for a moment and said, "But it was paid for with my uncle's card, so consider it a treat from him!"

Lin Hao understood immediately, then smiled and said, "Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, just a small matter!" Huizi said with a smile.

"Sit down, sit down!" Lin Hao invited her to sit down.

Hui Zi quickly opened a cake for Lin Hao and Jia Kuan. Lin Hao smiled and said, "One is enough. Just tell me what you need!"

"Thank you!" Jia Kuan accepted the cake without any hesitation.

Then Huizi told him everything about how she had asked Zhou Yiming to invest in the training program.

Finally, Huizi asked, "My two elder brothers-in-law, did you understand?"

"I roughly understand!" Lin Hao nodded and said.
"So you mean that before your dream of becoming an actor is realized, you want Yiming to fund the establishment of a studio for you!"

"But then I thought about it again and realized that it's best to achieve it through your own abilities. Also, I feel that Yiming's contribution of this money has made your relationship less pure. Is that what you mean?"

Listening to Lin Hao's analysis, Hui Zi nodded vigorously in praise:
"That's exactly what I mean! As expected of my brother-in-law, he has a really strong understanding!"

"No, no, no, don't praise me!" Lin Hao then thought for a moment and said, "So, what do you want from us?"

Upon hearing this, Huizi quickly said, "I just want my two elder brothers to talk to my uncle and ask him to give up the investment, so that this matter can be considered closed, as if it never happened. Simple, right?"

Seeing Jia Kuan still eating cake, Lin Hao said irritably, "Say something!"

Jia Kuan, being quite a bachelor, didn't want to get involved in Zhou Yiming's relationship and readily declined, saying:

"Look at me, I never go out. I'm completely out of touch with society. I don't understand what young people are thinking. I'll just listen to you guys talk!"

Lin Hao sighed inwardly, realizing he couldn't count on this person, and bluntly told Huizi:

"Sister-in-law, after hearing about this, I actually think it's a great idea. Yiming can help you fulfill your dream by providing some money. Isn't that wonderful?"

"If you refuse now, firstly, your company will definitely be very angry, and your days at the company will be difficult. Secondly, Zhou Yiming won't be happy either. It's like you're making a mountain out of a molehill!"

“Yes!” Jia Kuan chimed in from the side, “Why should we stop?”

Hui Zi pursed her lips, then said, "I don't think he loves me!"

"He doesn't love you?" Lin Hao was speechless upon hearing this. Another one being so dramatic. He said with a touch of helplessness, "..."
"If he doesn't love you, why would he spend such a large sum of money on you and help you set up a studio!"

“Yes!” Jia Kuan said while eating melon.

“He loves me, but not deeply enough!” Huizi then said seriously, “Don’t you men often say something like this?”
