Chapter 381: Chapter 385 Father (4)

His brow furrowed, the anger that had been building inside him was difficult to vent, especially because she was a woman.

"May I ask, Mr. Yu, do you value commitments?" Her eyes were clear, her posture upright, and her expression not the least bit fearful—in fact, she even asked him a strange question in an easygoing manner. Yu Jingxi was taken aback and then nodded, "Of course."

"Mr. Yu, do you believe that people must have a sense of responsibility?" She spoke again, her voice clear. Yu Jingxi found it even more curious, furrowed his brow, and nodded again.

"And may I ask further, Mr. Yu, do you think one should carry things through to the end when doing something?"

Yu Jingxi’s brow knit together, his voice somewhat grave, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Jian Anning smiled, "Since you believe, Mr. Yu, that people must value their commitments, must have a sense of responsibility, and must carry things through to the end, then shouldn’t Zexiao fulfill his duties and obligations under the work contract with the management company before the contract expires?"

Yu Jingxi was clearly displeased, "This is different!"

"What’s different?" Jian Anning said, "I know you don’t like Zexiao going into show business, and you have quite a few complaints about the agency arranging scandals for him—but no matter what, Zexiao is now part of the agency. He has a contract with them. Shouldn’t he have the responsibility to carry out his work properly?"

Yu Jingxi continued to frown deeply. Jian Anning added, "Besides, Mr. Yu, as Zexiao’s father, you should be very familiar with his personality. If you talk calmly to Zexiao, he might listen, but the more you argue with him, the less he listens. Even if you tie him up now and bring him back to Yancheng, there’s no guarantee he won’t sneak back here after a few days. Unless you plan to tie him up for life, with Zexiao’s personality, he will never just compromise."

Having been with Yu Zexiao for such a long time, Jian Anning realized that was indeed the case. One could say he lacked a sense of responsibility at work, but after she had scolded him, his attitude improved drastically. At most, he was just an overly emotional man who, in many instances, acted on his own interests and whims. He was definitely the type to resist more when pushed and to rebel when scolded!

At times like this, you need to stroke him the right way, make him feel comfortable, and then he would willingly continue to work.

Yu Jingxi knew this, but he always found it difficult to get along with his son, whose temper and character were too similar to his own in his youth. They couldn’t talk without erupting into a big argument. Usually, there was Shen Lanxiao mediating between them at home, but today, with Shen Lanxiao not present, the situation was ripe for conflict.

However, the little assistant before him, with clear eyes and a serious face, spoke reasonable arguments that surprisingly did not come off as irritating. Furthermore, she seemed quite proper, unlike those unscrupulous, sleazy women commonly found in the entertainment industry.

He paused for a moment, and Yang Haoming, seeing that Yu Jingxi’s momentum had weakened slightly, immediately sensed an opportunity and came to coax with a grin, "Uncle Yu, please calm down. You know what Zexiao’s temperament is like. He is very earnest, just a bit stubborn. Moreover, to persuade him to return, wouldn’t it be better to ask Aunt Shen to come?"
