Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: You Must Take Responsibility for What You Say_1 Chapter 1304 -1304: You Must Take Responsibility for What You Say_1 Calling him Adrian Zhekova seems very affectionate.

This feeling of familiarity and distance is too apparent.

But now, Gabriel Zhekova could not bother about these.

He looked at the Old Master in astonishment, “Why?

Why would you even dismiss me from my post?”

Ethan Zhekova bit his lip: “…”

After hearing Gabriel’s words.

Wasn’t this meeting supposed to be about seeking justice?

Or is it just seeking justice for Gabriel alone, not Ethan?

The Old Master laid out all the annual reports on profit and loss of Virtuoso that Sheldon Rowland had sent him over the years onto the table.

“This is the performance of Virtuoso during Lyke’s tenure, as well as the individual performance and total profit of each restaurant under Virtuoso.

More than 30% of them have negative growth.”

“But in the five years since Lyke took over, all losses have been turned into profits, and the performance of Virtuoso and the customer ratings have been constantly refreshed.”

“This is the data from the last year of Lyke’s tenure at Virtuoso,” the Old Master said, “Since you took over, the first year decreased by 5%, the second year decreased by 10%.

By now, it has decreased by 30%, already nearing the numbers before Lyke took over.”

“The profits of the two brands, Furnace Alley and Puritan Resto, have declined nearly 50%.

More than half of the restaurants under these two brands have not reached the profit standard, and the restaurants’ occupancy rate is getting lower and lower.”

“Though Virtuoso is still generating a positive growth in annual total income, in reality, many restaurants have already started to suffer losses.

The overall growth is merely fabricated to appease the outsiders, to make ourselves look good.”

That sort of trick, the Old Master wouldn’t be unaware of.

But he had never done it, nor had Lyke Zhekova nor Adrian Zhekova.

They disdained such actions because they didn’t need to resort to them.

Under their guidance, the company’s performance was genuinely commendable, there was no need to camouflage anything.

“Just because you’re a part of the Zhekova family, do we need to keep such a large company for you to wreck havoc?” the Old Master said coldly, “The employees of the company, the employees of its restaurants, are our responsibilities.

I cannot, for the sake of your pride and to support you, lose them all.”

“Even the deepest of root will not withstand such ruin!” the Old Master spoke up angrily, “You used to say I didn’t give you opportunities, so I handed Virtuoso over to you, giving you the chance to prove yourself.

And what did you prove?

All of this pathetic mess.

Knowing you are incapable, why would I gamble with our family’s fortune and so many people’s livelihoods?”

“We’re not just making money for ourselves, we’re bearing the livelihoods of so many people.

We have to be responsible!

It’s not something you can squander carelessly!” echoed the Old Master’s deep voice.

“I had given you opportunities, but you failed to prove yourself, so I cannot let the company continue to decline like this while in your hands.

As a member of the Zhekova family, I don’t expect much from you.

The Zhekova family can still thrive even with you not doing anything, but certainly not while you’re wrecking havoc in our company.”

“Being idle is no problem, but it’s critical to know your limits.

You shouldn’t overestimate your abilities or cause trouble when you’re incapable!” The Old Master was quite straightforward.

So straightforward that it sounds harsh.

At least to Gabriel, it was extremely harsh.

The Old Master didn’t even sugarcoat his reproach.

Especially with Ethan right by his side.

Humiliating him and declaring his incompetence in front of Ethan.

What dignity does he have left!

“These reports are all recorded accurately.

They are also documented in the company, it’s not something we fabricated to frame you.” said the Old Master, “If you think I’m wrong, you can take them and check it yourself, to see how well you’ve performed over the years!”

“If you can’t hold the fort, why should I use you?

There are plenty of people capable of holding their ground, the only reason I chose you was because you are a Zhekova.

Do you really think you have the ability?

The outcome is that you can’t even hold your ground.

Then why should I leave behind a crowd of talented people who could manage Virtuoso well and insist on using you?”

“Our entire family isn’t here to serve your ego!” the Old Master’s voice resounded forcefully.

When the Old Master finished speaking, he turned the topic to Adrian Zhekova.

“Indeed, I did issue Ethan’s dismissal order,” Adrian said, “That’s because I can’t tolerate someone who is constantly out to harm my wife and child, even if he is a family member.

Oh, no, if he really is a family member, how could he harm his own family?”

Gabriel looked disbelief at Ethan.

What’s happening!

“What ‘harming your wife and child’!?” Ethan shouted, “Adrian, you should take responsibility for your words!”
