Chapter 596 No, Find Someone Else

"Dad, Xia Bingqing isn't accepting our apologies at all right now, what should we do?" Li Qingyun trembled. "If we can't get Xia Bingqing's forgiveness, then Grandpa will definitely dismiss me as company manager! Then we won't have any chance to be in power!" "Dad..." As she spoke, she grew increasingly angry. Her fists were clenched tightly, making cracking sounds. Li Shaohu's expression hardened. "Your father has considered everything you've said. It seems we have no choice but to take this step!" Li Qingyun was stunned by his words. "Dad, what do you mean?" Li Shaohu narrowed his eyes. "If your grandfather becomes senile, then he won't be able to dismiss you as the manager of Qingmei Company!" Li Qingyun instantly understood. "Dad, you mean..." Li Shaohu made a shushing gesture and said in a low voice, "We're returning to Jinmen in secret! We'll act tonight!" Li Qingyun nodded without hesitation. To be honest, she had long held a grudge against Li Pingwei for scolding her. Therefore, even if it meant acting against the old man, she felt no compassion. That night, the father and daughter returned to the Li family villa. At this time, Li Pingwei was still in his study. Before long, Li Shaohu and Li Qingyun entered. As core members of the Li family, they were not stopped. Upon seeing them, Li Pingwei's gaze sharpened. "Why have you returned?" "Shouldn't you be in Lin City?" Li Shaohu said, "Dad... I've come back to discuss something with you!" "That's right, Grandpa!" Li Qingyun wore a smile that was utterly insincere. Li Pingwei's gaze deepened, and he closed his book. "Is the matter with Xia Bingqing resolved?" "Not... not yet!" Li Shaohu stammered. *Slap!* Li Pingwei raised his hand and slammed the book onto the table. The sound was extremely sharp. His old face, almost instantly, was once again filled with anger. "If it's not resolved, why are you back?" Li Pingwei's face was full of rage. Li Shaohu clenched his fists slightly and said, "Dad, aren't we back to discuss countermeasures with you?" Li Qingyun cursed him inwardly at this moment, thinking, *This old man is truly useless!* Li Pingwei immediately shouted, "If I have no solution, you father and daughter go and solve it. If you truly cannot solve it, resign immediately. I don't keep idlers in the Li family positions!" *Slap!* He hit the table hard again, clearly infuriated, gritting his teeth. What was his son's reputation, or his granddaughter's, mattered less than tangible benefits. It was at this moment that Li Shaohu's last shred of compassion vanished. "Dad... what do you mean by saying that? If we can't do it, you'll replace us?" Li Pingwei said coldly, "If you can't do it, why would I keep you? Am I supposed to wait for you to serve the dishes?" "You..." Li Shaohu was speechless. Li Qingyun chimed in, "Grandpa, you can't do this!" Li Pingwei stared at them coldly and shouted, "Looking at you, you have no solutions left, right?" "Dad..." "Grandpa!" He continued, "If you have no way, then I'll replace you!" "Let Qingmei take over again!" He reached out, intending to dial the landline on the coffee table. However, Li Shaohu grabbed his hand and stopped him. Li Pingwei's expression changed again, his eyes becoming more somber. "What do you mean by that? What are you trying to do?" Li Shaohu's gaze turned ice-cold. "You're forcing my hand!"
