Although Gu Ning disliked Ma Lequan's attitude towards his father, she wouldn't fire him just because of that. He was merely self-abased and cared too much about his face.
They were a family after all, and his father gave him money simply because he wanted him to live a good life. Gu Ning wouldn't stir things up between them.
If it was possible, she hoped that Ma Lequan could feel grateful to his parents and stop exploiting them.
He accepted his parents' kindness, so he should take care of them. If he could prove that he wasn't a bad son, Gu Ning was willing to keep him in his position.
She didn't have the right to order him to change, but she could decide whether to fire him.
