Chapter 1026: Chapter 1067: Fathers-in-law Are Made By Fighting

Li Yifei still had an impression of Li Xinyue’s brother, and that guy was obviously a lazy, greedy slicker who just waited for pies to fall from the sky. Having such a person by his side would definitely not work. He wouldn’t be helpful at all and might even bring a lot of negative impact.

In the Flying Hawk Squad, and in his previous mercenary corps experiences, Li Yifei understood very clearly that if he wanted his subordinates to work loyally for him, he couldn’t let his family members throw their weight around. For example, if he tolerated a no-good relative giving orders, even if his men temporarily accepted it, they would eventually grow weary of it. Just like in the Flying Hawk Squad, having an unsatisfactory person appointed over him had left troubles behind.

If the Li family wanted to last, they had to eradicate this phenomenon. It didn’t matter that it was Li Xinyue’s brother— even his own children would have to be restrained in the future. Just like many powerful families, their expert members earned sufficient respect and weren’t casually bossed around by ordinary descendants. This was one of the reasons those great families remained strong, whereas the decline of many families was probably related to this issue.

Li Yifei didn’t deny it and said, "Xinyue, your brother really gives me a headache, and I still haven’t figured out how to arrange for him."

Li Xinyue immediately said, "Husband, you really can’t bother with him. I understand his character all too well. If he comes over, he’ll definitely create havoc in the company, causing dissatisfaction among the others. I can’t do something that provokes public outrage. Just leave him be for now, and when he starts to comprehend some things, then I’ll see about handling him."

"But I’m managing Yiyi’s father," Li Yifei said. "If I don’t deal with your brother, wouldn’t that be unfair?"

"What’s unfair about that? Haven’t you taken care of my father as well? Now my dad’s life is so much better. It’s manageable for you to look after our parents, but if you had to manage all the relatives, how much energy would you need? Besides, with so many relatives of mixed quality, some can be hard to manage. If we start this trend, others will want to bring all sorts of relatives into our home and company. Then wouldn’t it become a family business? There are few such companies in the world that can last."

Li Yifei thought about it and said, "Then we’ll just take extra care of your father later, like with Yiyi’s father, set him up with a storefront. If he wants to do business, he can; if not, earning some rent each year isn’t bad either."

Li Xinyue didn’t refuse this time but still said, "However, the property can’t be transferred to them; they might just sell it off, and they would definitely do something like that." Of course, she also hoped to improve her father’s life.

"Okay, then it will be under your name."

"No way, if it’s under my name, my stepmother will definitely urge my dad to ask for it, and I might not be able to stand firm. In your hands, they’ll have nothing to say."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Your stepmother and brother really are a headache."

Li Xinyue sighed and said, "If only my family could be as easygoing as Yiyi’s dad."

Su Yiyi suddenly spoke up with some embarrassment, "My dad wasn’t much before either, he gambled fiercely, almost sold me off. Then... my husband scared him straight, and he started behaving."

"Scared..." Li Xinyue was suddenly at a loss.

"At that time, Yiyi and I weren’t together yet," Li Yifei admitted with some embarrassment. "Seeing her dad behaving so badly, I just gave him a beating."

"That... well, let’s forget about that. My dad isn’t in good health anymore." Li Xinyue wouldn’t dare to follow that example, and the thought of her father being beaten by Li Yifei was hard for her to accept.

"Husband!" After wrapping up that topic, Su Yiyi spoke to Li Yifei, "Our school’s graduation ceremony is coming up soon. Can you find some time to attend my graduation?"

Li Yifei immediately agreed with enthusiasm, "Of course I’ll go. My biggest regret is never having attended university. Experiencing your graduation ceremony is something I look forward to."

"Mhm, it’s at the end of this month."

"The end of the month? Doesn’t that mean we only have a little more than ten days to prepare?"

"There’s nothing to prepare for. Just go, the most important thing is to take some graduation photos."

"Oh... okay, then I’ll definitely be there on that day. Yiyi’s graduating, stepping onto a new path in life. As her boyfriend, if I didn’t go, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for you?"

Su Yiyi’s sweet smile revealed her happiness. These past days at school, everyone had been talking about the graduation ceremony. Her four years of university life were about to end, and Su Yiyi found it hard to let go. When her classmates asked her to bring her boyfriend along, she happily agreed.

"By the way, there’s a job fair at the school this weekend. Is our company going to recruit there?" she asked.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Sure, recruiting fresh university graduates isn’t a bad idea. I’ll organize some people to attend. Do I need to pull some strings for your classmates or anything?"

"No need, I was just thinking about how the company is short-staffed, so that’s why I brought it up."

Time flew quickly, and three days passed. On Sunday, representatives from Li Yifei’s company, as well as from Xu Yingying’s Dreamfly Company, were sent by their Human Resources Departments to Mile City University for the job fair.

Li Yifei had a bit of breathing room today, so he accompanied Su Yiyi to the university.

In today’s society, college graduates aren’t valued highly. Many who’ve graduated can’t find jobs, and even those who do often can’t find work that meets their expectations or justifies the sixteen years of hard study. So, the job fair was packed. Dozens of companies were besieged by students. Out of the nearly five thousand graduates from Mile City University, about half were in attendance at the job fair.

It wasn’t long before Su Yiyi spotted some classmates and said to Li Yifei, "Honey, I’m going to chat with my classmates for a bit."

Li Yifei nodded, "Go ahead, I’ll take a stroll on my own. I won’t come with you so you don’t have to keep thinking about me."

"Mhm!" Su Yiyi nodded and quickly made her way over. She wouldn’t be seeing these classmates much longer, so it was best to make the most of the time they had left.

Li Yifei didn’t head directly for his company’s booth. There were professionals handling the recruitment process, and he wouldn’t be much help. His presence might even inhibit their performance, so he strolled around casually instead, checking out the recruitment efforts of other companies. As a CEO aiming to succeed in the business world, Li Yifei always took the opportunity to learn from things he thought were worth emulating.

The place was packed, and virtually no one noticed Li Yifei, nor did he encounter any familiar faces, as company CEOs rarely attended such job fairs. He enjoyed the tranquility of his anonymity.

While chatting with a few classmates, Su Yiyi also sent resumes to the companies they were interested in. Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning, Su Yiyi’s closest university roommates, shared a strong bond with her, unlike another roommate, Cao Yue, who wasn’t there. Cao Yue had a bad relationship with them and used to bully Su Yiyi until Li Yifei sorted her out. Then, she toned down.

"Yiyi, you’re so lucky to have such a great boyfriend. You don’t even need to look for a job," said Song Xiaoli, squeezing out of the crowd and wiping the sweat from her forehead, her voice filled with envy.

Su Yiyi smiled, "I’m going to work too. Once I graduate, I’ll work at my boyfriend’s company."

Xiao Ning said with a chuckle, "Yiyi, maybe you could talk to your boyfriend and let me work at his company. I’m not demanding; I just need something to get by for now."

Apologizing, Su Yiyi said, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you guys, but even if you want to join my boyfriend’s company, you would still need to go through their Human Resources interview process. If you pass, I’ll definitely take care of you once you’re in the company."

Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning knew Su Yiyi well and understood that if she could help, she would. This was just a trial for them, and it wasn’t as if they needed to find jobs immediately.

Song Xiaoli joked, "Anyway, if we end up starving, you can’t ignore us."

"Of course not," Su Yiyi said eagerly. "You’ve helped me so much during school. If you ever run into trouble in the future, I’ll definitely help you."

"Oh! Isn’t this Su Yiyi?" A woman’s sardonic voice sounded from behind.

Su Yiyi turned around and saw Chen Min, another classmate. Chen Min was average-looking but extremely competitive, perhaps excessively so. She insisted on winning scholarships every year and always strived to be the best in her class, no matter what. She was undoubtedly capable, but her personality tended to be on the extreme side; she couldn’t stand seeing anyone else excel beyond her. Su Yiyi had always been on the weaker side in school and didn’t compete with her. However, because Su Yiyi gained the attention of the few male students in class, including one that Chen Min liked, Chen Min always harbored hostility toward Su Yiyi.

Today, after submitting several resumes and interacting with recruiters, Chen Min could sense their satisfaction with her. While many others were anxiously submitting resumes, she felt a sense of superiority as she could choose which companies to apply to. Yet, seeing Su Yiyi chatting and laughing with ease, she felt an inexplicable discomfort.
