Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Inside the office.

Cao Leyao pouted: "Dad, isn't it too heartless for us to do this?"

"Where is the ruthlessness?" Cao Wei took a sip of tea.

"They have been doing this for so many years, and we have a master who has been with us since the beginning. It shouldn't be closed just like this."

"Cao Leyao." Cao Wei shouted.

Cao Leyao paused, and asked timidly, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with your thinking." Cao Wei tapped her head.

"Both publicly and privately, these people should not be allowed to stay. A company should have red lines. If they cross the red line, they can no longer stay in the company. This is inevitable. This is from the company's perspective. Do you have a problem with your understanding of the red line? Do you think gamblers should not die?"

“But they were also deceived.”

"Remember what I told you? As an adult, you should be responsible for your own actions. In your life, you will encounter countless crossroads, and you need to take your own responsibilities for every choice at each crossroad. No one will pay for your life. If you make the wrong choice, you should bear the consequences of the mistake. Instead of relying on the mercy of others to survive."

"You have to understand one thing: rules are rules."

"This is Yu Gong."

"As for the private part, why do you think they should stay in Samadhi Tower?"

"Why... why?"

"Because they can make money in Samadhi Building, and life is much better than outside. All the benefits of Samadhi Building are fully provided. So they don't want to leave. According to your opinion, they have worked hard in Samadhi Building even if they have no merits. You shouldn't be so heartless. Putting aside the benefits of Samadhi Building, let's discuss what kind of impact it will cause if we don't fire them."

"First, I have to tell everyone about this matter no matter what. I want to tell everyone about this as a warning. Not to mention that if I don't fire them, the people in Samadhi Building will think that the company's rules are just that. What impact do you think it will have on them?"

"Influence?" Cao Leyao hesitated for a moment: "Being pointed at for a period of time?"

"That's one reason. They lost so much money, almost all of their savings from working in Samadhi Tower over the years. Do you think they will try to win it back?"

"No...no way, after all..." Cao Leyao wanted to say that the punishment had already come down, but then he turned around and realized one thing. What punishment had already come down? How could it be a punishment to just issue a painless announcement?

"It seems that you have realized it. Maybe you will say that we should increase the punishment. But now they have been completely cheated. Even if they have not been completely cheated, how can you punish them? Fining them money? That is not appropriate. Punishing them by not being able to advance for a period of time? That is nonsense. They have lost so much that they are even more miserable if they are not allowed to develop their careers."

"The consequences of this are extremely serious. If one day they really lose too much, what should they do? How should they handle it?"

Cao Leyao opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

She only considered that Samadhi Tower should not add insult to injury, no matter what, at least let someone do it first. But she did not consider that these people still left potential problems.

"That's the first thing. Second, if one day they want to make a comeback, will they sell out Samadhi Tower?"

"No... not really."

"How could it not be? A great favor turns into hatred. We in Samadhi Tower may not say great favors, but at least after this incident, the punishment was in place. When punishment falls on people, it is inevitable that there will be resentment. I have lost so much myself, and you in Samadhi Tower are still adding insult to injury. Do you think they will have this idea?"

"I..." It's impossible for Cao Leyao to say that she has not made any progress over the years. Especially in Hong Kong, she has met many people and understood many things. She has more or less understood human nature.

"So, dismissal is the inevitable solution. Wei Wei understood this. Liu Lan didn't understand. She is still immersed in the social conventions of the past. After so many years, she still can't get up. Future supervision cannot be left to her." Cao Wei gave Liu Lan a summary.

Then he looked at Cao Leyao and said, "Also, firing someone may not necessarily be without benefits."

"what?"

"Ah what? Many things in this world can be slightly simulated."

"First of all, after being fired, they will receive compensation. The amount of compensation is not small. At least, even if they can't achieve financial freedom, at least they will have no problem living. There will be no financial pressure either."

"Secondly, even if expulsion is a warning to them, if expulsion can't help them get rid of their addiction, then I can only say that we should respect the fate of others."

Cao Leyao was completely dumbfounded. She had never expected that there were so many tricks involved.

"Pfft." Lou Xiao'e beside him laughed: "You kid, you still need to practice."

"Sister E~" Cao Leyao blushed a little. How could she not have thought of such a simple thing?

In fact, it has nothing to do with whether you think about it or not, it’s just experience.

"You have to understand one thing, this is just a small matter." Cao Wei sighed, "This kind of thing only seems difficult to solve on the surface, but it is easy to make a decision after sorting it out. In the future, if you encounter a situation where you have to choose between two options, you have to think carefully about how to choose. There is no room for thinking about this matter."

"I know. Hey? Where's mom?" Cao Leyao then realized that Qin Jingru didn't seem to be here and she didn't know where she had gone.

"I went to the south to play with Cao Nian." Cao Wei spread his hands.

"I want to go too……"

"Don't even think about it! Just deal with the documents properly!"

After explaining everything, Cao Leyao looked at him with resentment.

Cao Wei took Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked back.

As for Qin Huairu, she had already run back to see her grandson.

As soon as I reached the gate of the courtyard, I saw the third uncle happily chatting with someone.

"Uncle, are you chatting?"

"Hey? Are you back?" The third uncle perked up when he heard the familiar voice: "You are finally back. You know what? When you left, I wanted to drink some Kung Fu tea in the yard, but I couldn't find anyone."

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to some tea. Can you tell me what's going on in the hospital recently?"

"Then let's go. I'm telling you, Old Yi has been showing off recently. Yi Yi has finally found a wife, and the date has been set. You've got the luck, so we can have a feast tomorrow."

"Wow! You must participate then."

"That's not the case!"
