Chapter 1026: Chapter 1067: Fathers-in-law Are Made By FightingLi Yifei still had an impression of Li Xinyueâs brother, and that guy was obviously a lazy, greedy slicker who just waited for pies to fall from the sky. Having such a person by his side would definitely not work. He wouldnât be helpful at all and might even bring a lot of negative impact.
In the Flying Hawk Squad, and in his previous mercenary corps experiences, Li Yifei understood very clearly that if he wanted his subordinates to work loyally for him, he couldnât let his family members throw their weight around. For example, if he tolerated a no-good relative giving orders, even if his men temporarily accepted it, they would eventually grow weary of it. Just like in the Flying Hawk Squad, having an unsatisfactory person appointed over him had left troubles behind.
If the Li family wanted to last, they had to eradicate this phenomenon. It didnât matter that it was Li Xinyueâs brotherâ even his own children would have to be restrained in the future. Just like many powerful families, their expert members earned sufficient respect and werenât casually bossed around by ordinary descendants. This was one of the reasons those great families remained strong, whereas the decline of many families was probably related to this issue.
Li Yifei didnât deny it and said, "Xinyue, your brother really gives me a headache, and I still havenât figured out how to arrange for him."
Li Xinyue immediately said, "Husband, you really canât bother with him. I understand his character all too well. If he comes over, heâll definitely create havoc in the company, causing dissatisfaction among the others. I canât do something that provokes public outrage. Just leave him be for now, and when he starts to comprehend some things, then Iâll see about handling him."
"But Iâm managing Yiyiâs father," Li Yifei said. "If I donât deal with your brother, wouldnât that be unfair?"
"Whatâs unfair about that? Havenât you taken care of my father as well? Now my dadâs life is so much better. Itâs manageable for you to look after our parents, but if you had to manage all the relatives, how much energy would you need? Besides, with so many relatives of mixed quality, some can be hard to manage. If we start this trend, others will want to bring all sorts of relatives into our home and company. Then wouldnât it become a family business? There are few such companies in the world that can last."
Li Yifei thought about it and said, "Then weâll just take extra care of your father later, like with Yiyiâs father, set him up with a storefront. If he wants to do business, he can; if not, earning some rent each year isnât bad either."
Li Xinyue didnât refuse this time but still said, "However, the property canât be transferred to them; they might just sell it off, and they would definitely do something like that." Of course, she also hoped to improve her fatherâs life.
"Okay, then it will be under your name."
"No way, if itâs under my name, my stepmother will definitely urge my dad to ask for it, and I might not be able to stand firm. In your hands, theyâll have nothing to say."
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Your stepmother and brother really are a headache."
Li Xinyue sighed and said, "If only my family could be as easygoing as Yiyiâs dad."
Su Yiyi suddenly spoke up with some embarrassment, "My dad wasnât much before either, he gambled fiercely, almost sold me off. Then... my husband scared him straight, and he started behaving."
"Scared..." Li Xinyue was suddenly at a loss.
"At that time, Yiyi and I werenât together yet," Li Yifei admitted with some embarrassment. "Seeing her dad behaving so badly, I just gave him a beating."
"That... well, letâs forget about that. My dad isnât in good health anymore." Li Xinyue wouldnât dare to follow that example, and the thought of her father being beaten by Li Yifei was hard for her to accept.
"Husband!" After wrapping up that topic, Su Yiyi spoke to Li Yifei, "Our schoolâs graduation ceremony is coming up soon. Can you find some time to attend my graduation?"
Li Yifei immediately agreed with enthusiasm, "Of course Iâll go. My biggest regret is never having attended university. Experiencing your graduation ceremony is something I look forward to."
"Mhm, itâs at the end of this month."
"The end of the month? Doesnât that mean we only have a little more than ten days to prepare?"
"Thereâs nothing to prepare for. Just go, the most important thing is to take some graduation photos."
"Oh... okay, then Iâll definitely be there on that day. Yiyiâs graduating, stepping onto a new path in life. As her boyfriend, if I didnât go, wouldnât it be embarrassing for you?"
Su Yiyiâs sweet smile revealed her happiness. These past days at school, everyone had been talking about the graduation ceremony. Her four years of university life were about to end, and Su Yiyi found it hard to let go. When her classmates asked her to bring her boyfriend along, she happily agreed.
"By the way, thereâs a job fair at the school this weekend. Is our company going to recruit there?" she asked.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Sure, recruiting fresh university graduates isnât a bad idea. Iâll organize some people to attend. Do I need to pull some strings for your classmates or anything?"
"No need, I was just thinking about how the company is short-staffed, so thatâs why I brought it up."
Time flew quickly, and three days passed. On Sunday, representatives from Li Yifeiâs company, as well as from Xu Yingyingâs Dreamfly Company, were sent by their Human Resources Departments to Mile City University for the job fair.
Li Yifei had a bit of breathing room today, so he accompanied Su Yiyi to the university.
In todayâs society, college graduates arenât valued highly. Many whoâve graduated canât find jobs, and even those who do often canât find work that meets their expectations or justifies the sixteen years of hard study. So, the job fair was packed. Dozens of companies were besieged by students. Out of the nearly five thousand graduates from Mile City University, about half were in attendance at the job fair.
It wasnât long before Su Yiyi spotted some classmates and said to Li Yifei, "Honey, Iâm going to chat with my classmates for a bit."
Li Yifei nodded, "Go ahead, Iâll take a stroll on my own. I wonât come with you so you donât have to keep thinking about me."
"Mhm!" Su Yiyi nodded and quickly made her way over. She wouldnât be seeing these classmates much longer, so it was best to make the most of the time they had left.
Li Yifei didnât head directly for his companyâs booth. There were professionals handling the recruitment process, and he wouldnât be much help. His presence might even inhibit their performance, so he strolled around casually instead, checking out the recruitment efforts of other companies. As a CEO aiming to succeed in the business world, Li Yifei always took the opportunity to learn from things he thought were worth emulating.
The place was packed, and virtually no one noticed Li Yifei, nor did he encounter any familiar faces, as company CEOs rarely attended such job fairs. He enjoyed the tranquility of his anonymity.
While chatting with a few classmates, Su Yiyi also sent resumes to the companies they were interested in. Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning, Su Yiyiâs closest university roommates, shared a strong bond with her, unlike another roommate, Cao Yue, who wasnât there. Cao Yue had a bad relationship with them and used to bully Su Yiyi until Li Yifei sorted her out. Then, she toned down.
"Yiyi, youâre so lucky to have such a great boyfriend. You donât even need to look for a job," said Song Xiaoli, squeezing out of the crowd and wiping the sweat from her forehead, her voice filled with envy.
Su Yiyi smiled, "Iâm going to work too. Once I graduate, Iâll work at my boyfriendâs company."
Xiao Ning said with a chuckle, "Yiyi, maybe you could talk to your boyfriend and let me work at his company. Iâm not demanding; I just need something to get by for now."
Apologizing, Su Yiyi said, "Itâs not that I donât want to help you guys, but even if you want to join my boyfriendâs company, you would still need to go through their Human Resources interview process. If you pass, Iâll definitely take care of you once youâre in the company."
Song Xiaoli and Xiao Ning knew Su Yiyi well and understood that if she could help, she would. This was just a trial for them, and it wasnât as if they needed to find jobs immediately.
Song Xiaoli joked, "Anyway, if we end up starving, you canât ignore us."
"Of course not," Su Yiyi said eagerly. "Youâve helped me so much during school. If you ever run into trouble in the future, Iâll definitely help you."
"Oh! Isnât this Su Yiyi?" A womanâs sardonic voice sounded from behind.
Su Yiyi turned around and saw Chen Min, another classmate. Chen Min was average-looking but extremely competitive, perhaps excessively so. She insisted on winning scholarships every year and always strived to be the best in her class, no matter what. She was undoubtedly capable, but her personality tended to be on the extreme side; she couldnât stand seeing anyone else excel beyond her. Su Yiyi had always been on the weaker side in school and didnât compete with her. However, because Su Yiyi gained the attention of the few male students in class, including one that Chen Min liked, Chen Min always harbored hostility toward Su Yiyi.
Today, after submitting several resumes and interacting with recruiters, Chen Min could sense their satisfaction with her. While many others were anxiously submitting resumes, she felt a sense of superiority as she could choose which companies to apply to. Yet, seeing Su Yiyi chatting and laughing with ease, she felt an inexplicable discomfort.
