Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Don’t Believe Me, You Can Try_1

Luo’s Group was facing a rupture in its capital chain, unable to pay for supplier materials and company staff wages.

As the chairwoman of the company, Old Lady Luo did not try to solve the crisis; instead, she chose to transfer her shares and withdraw at the first opportunity, which greatly disheartened the long-term employees of Luo’s Group.

At that time, Luo Ning offered them an option to re-employ, which they were, of course, eager to seize.

After all, it was under Luo Ning’s leadership in recent years that the company had developed well.

Although Luo Ning’s Chenxi Design Studio had just been established, had not yet opened for business, and was small in scale—even the wages were not as high as those at Luo’s Group.

But they all saw the potential of the Chenxi Design Studio. After all, it was no joke that Luo Ning and the general manager of Shengtian Group, Ling Yuzhu—President Ling—were good friends. Just a couple of projects thrown their way by President Ling could make Chenxi Design Studio’s profits overflow.

Therefore, when Luo Ning extended the olive branch, they did not even think twice before accepting.

It was because of this event that Old Lady Luo became extremely irritated.

And now, taking advantage of Yang Meifeng’s moving celebration banquet, she specifically came to settle scores.

"Grandma, I’m not kicking you while you’re down, nor am I stealing your employees," Luo Ning said with a frown, her tone somewhat dissatisfied, "My business is a design company that only helps with design plans and recommendations for construction, which does not conflict with Luo Group’s business at all."

"Besides, they’re not goods; they all have their rights to choose! They can go wherever they want to!"

As she spoke, it was clear she was getting angry.

"Cousin, I don’t like to hear you say that!"

At this moment, Luo Zitong’s emotions had already calmed down, and with a cold hum through her nose, she indifferently said, "What do you mean they can go wherever they want to!"

"These people have signed formal labor contracts with Luo’s Group!"

"Until the employment relationship is terminated on both sides, they are still employees of Luo’s Group!"

"Them leaving Luo’s Group at this time not only violates company policy but also breaches their labor contracts!"

"According to the contract, if they leave the company for another place on their own, they have to pay a hefty penalty..."

Luo Ning’s face turned cold as she said in a low voice, "Luo Zitong, I’m talking to Grandma; what gives you the right to speak, step aside!"

In Luo’s Group, Luo Zitong was a typical vase—lacking business capability and always liking to criticize and comment on Luo Ning’s decisions.

As a result, after Luo Ning took up the post of general manager of Luo’s Group, the two argued countless times.

Just last month, over the matter of Luo Zitong being late and leaving early, Luo Ning criticized her directly at a company meeting, and their relationship became extremely tense.

"Heh, what gives me the right?"

Luo Zitong laughed, puffing out her chest proudly, and said, "I am now the general manager of Luo’s Group. You tell me if I have the right?"

What? Luo Zitong became the general manager? Is this some kind of joke!

Luo Ning shook her head again and again when she heard this; other people might not know about Luo Zitong’s capabilities, but she was crystal clear about it.

"That’s right, Zi Tong is now our general manager of Luo’s Group! She is fully entitled to say that," said the old lady, leaning on her cane and speaking firmly, "As for today’s banquet, we’d rather not eat!"

"I still say the same thing: either you have them come back on their own and behave, or, your studio will never get off the ground!"

Seeing Old Lady Luo being so aggressive, Luo Shanchuan chuckled awkwardly at this moment, trying to mediate, "Mom, you’ve just arrived, how about eating something first."

"Like this, let’s all sit down, have a meal, and talk. We are sure to find a solution."

Luo Ning was rather impatient, though; she shook her head, her lips quivered slightly before she finally said, "Dad, can’t you see?"

"They’re not here to eat; they are clearly here to trouble me!"

She paused for a moment, her gaze resolutely looking at the old lady, and said forcibly suppressing her anger, "Including myself, there are only six former Luo’s Group employees in the Chenxi Design Studio!"

"May I ask, how much in penalties do I have to pay before they can work at Chenxi Design Studio!?"

Old Lady Luo laughed mockingly without answering, and at this time, Tao Pinggui adjusted his collar and spoke up, "Miss Luo, don’t be nervous."

"I am the largest shareholder of Luo’s Group. As for the penalty, of course, it’s according to the company’s rules and regulations."

"Seeing you all can come to a high-end place like Spring Breeze Restaurant, it seems your studio must be making good money. So I won’t ask for much," he said, pausing and then extending a finger lightly, "Ten million! Ten million per person for the penalty! Excluding you, Miss Luo, the five of them together owe fifty million."

"As long as you pay fifty million in penalties and also apologize to the old lady and Zi Tong, we can consider the matter settled, how about it?"

"Impossible!"

As soon as Luo Ning heard that, she was furious. That Mr. Tao was shameless! It was clearly not her fault, yet this person had the audacity to demand ten million per person, fifty million in total.

Setting aside the fact that she couldn’t come up with that sum of money, even if she could, she wouldn’t want to!

Moreover, to make her apologize to Grandma and her cousin, absolutely impossible!

"Hmm? Unwilling?"

Tao Pinggui laughed, speaking as though he were an emperor looking down on his subjects, "Fine, your studio is called Chenxi Design, right?"

"I guarantee, as long as I’m in Jiangling City for one day, it will absolutely never open!"

"Don’t believe me? You can try!"
