Chapter 648: The Price! No One Can Be Spared
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at everyone in the audience calmly:
"My first request is that everyone involved apologize to my wife. I will not accept any apology that is not sincere."
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at the old man after he finished speaking:
"Including you, father."
The old man had a sullen face, while Zhuang Jinse, who was watching the show, smiled. Is the third brother serious?
Zhuang Zhoucheng was waiting for the old man to speak. The old man probably felt that it was indeed unfair to his young daughter-in-law, so he nodded.
Zhuang Zhoucheng dealt with this matter one step at a time, and Lu Zeng immediately walked over with an apology letter.
"Old Master, please sign."
The old man hates these empty moves, but at this critical moment he has annoyed the youngest one. If he wants to make trouble, then let him do it.
At that moment, Long Feifengwu signed, and Lu Zeng followed one by one, and everyone had to sign.
Zhuang Zhoucheng was very patient and waited there, not wanting to leave anyone behind.
When I got to the first wife, she turned away, obviously unwilling to cooperate. A joint letter of apology?
Besides, do you have to go there in person?
Whimsical!
Lu Zeng just stood there, half bent over, holding the tray respectfully.
Zhuang Jinzhao glanced at his wife coldly, leaned over, took the pen, and signed his name in a few strokes.
"My wife was wrong in this matter. She should send an apology." Zhuang Jinzhao whispered.
It’s no wonder that the third brother is angry. As the eldest brother, he can understand it. Let’s first see what three demands and two purposes the third brother put forward.
After Zhuang Jinzhao signed his name, he handed the pen directly to the first wife. The first wife had no way to refuse and signed reluctantly.
Lu Zeng didn't even look at the eldest wife, and handed the order to Madam Xiang and others in the back row, followed by the servants from the old house and the front yard.
Jiang Ke leaned against her mother and whispered:
"Mom, will Jiang Zhen push the blame onto us for what happened?"
Last night, the servants at home said that something big had happened at home and Jiang Zhen ran away, but she didn't care. But when she saw it today, she was scared to death. Isn't Jiang Zhen too brave?
Zhuang Jinhuan slapped her little daughter's hand away. She was really asking for trouble. How could she have raised such a useless thing?
Zhuang Jinhuan secretly glanced at her husband's expression and felt very distressed. Their marriage had lasted for more than 20 years. Would this incident not affect anything?
Lu Zeng brought up the "joint apology letter". Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at it and asked someone to take it away. He then said his second request:
"The Zhuang family has never wronged anyone over the years, but if the servants only care about themselves and not their masters' safety, and would rather watch their masters in danger than help them, then I demand that they all be replaced. I don't need a bunch of callous people working for me. In the housekeeping industry, we are now discussing professional ethics and standards. If anyone here doesn't agree with every one of them, then go back and reflect on yourselves. Your wages will be settled today, and you must all leave the Zhuang family before noon tomorrow."
After Zhuang Zhoucheng finished speaking, he ignored the servants who were shouting about their injustice and only looked at the old man.
"Father, what do you think?"
The old man let go and said, "Do whatever you want."
You have to give him an outlet to vent. If you don't solve it all at once, it will be a pain in his heart in the future.
The old man favors this son after all, and he plans to stay with his younger son and let him do whatever he wants.
In a disguised way, the old man was supporting the young one. As long as he kept silent, Zhuang Zhoucheng would be the one in charge on the scene.
Zhuang Zhoucheng knocked on the table and looked at his father. There was no gratitude in his eyes for his father's tolerance, and his eyes were still cold and frightening.
Lu Zeng immediately sent another document to the old man to sign first. The agreement was different from the previous one. It was about replacing the servants in the house, and the decision was fully given to Zhuang Zhoucheng.
The old man felt that asking him to sign this was an insult to him. Could it be that his words were no longer valid?
"Old Master, even if you see my Third Master losing control of his emotions..."
The old man sighed and signed.
The youngest child is different from the children of other children. The youngest son is the one that his original wife loves the most and is the one she can't let go of the most.
After all, there is also respect and love for the deceased lady.
The old man signed this, and then came the termination agreement with the servants at home.
The servants signed not only a termination of contract, but also a statement admitting that they had made a serious mistake, voluntarily accepted the termination of the contract, had nothing to do with the employer, and did not request compensation for liquidated damages.
Of course, to put it bluntly, it is a unfair treaty.
The housekeeper's hands were shaking a little. He looked at the old man, at everyone in the bank who had a say, and then at the Third Master on the stage.
How can you be so heartless?
He has been working in the banker's business for almost fifty years!
He has already settled down in the banker's family, but today they want to kick him out just for such a small mistake?
"Old man..."
The housekeeper left Lu Zeng behind and ran down first, kneeling down in front of the old man with a thud.
"I have followed you for half a century. Even if you don't want to see the monk, you should see the Buddha. Please keep me!"
At his age now, if he leaves the banker, can he still find a job?
Who among his family, neighbors and distant relatives doesn’t know that he is the steward of the banker?
People who are in charge of big things are in great glory. Many people ask them to do things and praise their family highly. But now he is really going to be kicked out of the bank. Isn't this like cutting off the source of funds?
How will his family survive in the future?
The old man looked at the butler. There really was some affection between the master and servant. The butler had witnessed the old man's heyday and had accompanied the old man through decades of ups and downs.
Rather than saying they are master and servant, it would be more accurate to say they are old friends who understand and cherish each other.
But he just...
Forget it, wasn't the agreement that the third brother asked him to sign just to prevent this from happening?
"Go and beg the Third Master. If he has made up his mind, then accept the reality. You are old and it is time to retire." The old man sighed.
The butler looked ashen and asked, "Ask the Third Master?"
The Third Master has made a drastic change in personnel this time. Old Master, you know his intentions!
