The old master sighed and said, "Tracey, to be honest, I am unwilling to accept them in my heart. But after all, they are the children of the Xia family. I have been rejecting them for so many years, and I am afraid that I can't continue on this.
I am guilty for your mom, for so many years, it was just like a knot on my heart. It was my son's fault for not cherishing her. No matter how I felt guilty, it was impossible for her to return alive.
Originally, I thought that your father and Carmen won't go too far, who knew that they had been together for more than 20 years! Probably, they would go for a lifetime.
Since the rice was cooked, at this critical time, I didn't want to reject them anymore. I hoped that you could forgive your father and accept them from your heart.
As for on which day to accept them, let me see the calendar and pick a propitious day."
Perhaps being afraid that she felt lost, the old master specially explained so much. Something seemed to flash in Tracey's eyes, she said, "Grandpa, of course, I will accept them, but I have a suggestion."
"Oh? Let me hear about it."
"I came back as an exchange student this time and in the same grade with them. I heard some negative rumors about Renee and Leo.
In fact, I support letting them work in the company. But I am worried that they may also bring their bad habits over so that the whole company was affected."
"So, Tracey, do you mean...?"
"Since entering the Xia's group had long been their wish, how about making it the sword of Damocles for them? Otherwise, they would never selfdisciplined without this sword hanging above their heads.
I mean that we can give them probation and assess their performance, then decide if they are qualified to stay or not. Grandpa, do you think my suggestion is feasible?"
Tracey understood that once they are approved in the Xia's family, they would be given the shares. At that time, It was not easy to take them back, so she would not let them succeed at the beginning.
Hearing her words, the old master also felt it was reasonable. "Yes, why didn't I think of that? You are so smart! Just do it! As students, they were ignorant, we can't let them affect the company."
"I think this should be the safest way." Tracey said.
"Ok, forget them! Let's talk about you. No matter whether they believe it or not, I believe that you have set up a company.
Since you can manage a company, it's a waste of time for you to do basic things. How about starting from the vice president of the Group?"
The old man was really generous to her and gave her such a high position as soon as she came back. However, Tracey shook her head and said, "Grandpa, it's not the first day for me to work. Although I am young, In fact, I am already familiar with the rules to do business.
If I take this position right after I work for the company, I'm afraid that nobody would trust me. Usually, women are at an unfavorable position in the workplace, so I don't want to face other's questioning so much."
"Tracey, I've really underestimated you. I didn't expect you are so thoughtful. What position do you want?"
"It's not that I'm unwilling to do the basic work, as you said, it's a waste of time. If you think it's okay, can you let me do the director?"
"The director is in the middle-upper level. You will have some power, but you are still subject to others' management. This will be more challenging than being a vice president. Since you'd like to do it, I will gladly permit." The old master was very appreciative of her.
