Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1412: How Dare You Block My Way

"Initially, I thought this matter was false, but now listening to our Chairman, I feel as if it’s true. This is simply too despicable, it’s pulling down the reputation of our Xiao Group! And in the future, when we go out, won’t we be known as a hit-and-run company?"

"That subsidiary is truly outrageous. Now all the public opinion is pushing towards the Headquarters, and the subsidiary seems quite satisfied with itself. It’s really infuriating. What kind of subsidiary is this? It doesn’t care about its reputation at all."

All the employees working at the Headquarters are particularly indignant, especially considering that this matter affects the Headquarters. Previously, when socializing with friends, they boasted about being part of the Xiao Group. But if this really impacts social relationships, that wouldn’t be good.

At this time, Xiao Zhen was even angrier than the employees. Initially, he thought his daughter would abandon that person, at least until Su Zining got married.

But who would have thought this boy wouldn’t proactively leave the subsidiary now? Given the situation, there’s no need to save face anymore—after all, the old man had no expectations for this boy.

"Chairman, shouldn’t we delay this a little? Besides, the old man’s attitude is still unclear. If the old man finds out, he might get upset with you again, so it’s better not to anger him."

The assistant is well aware of the previous incident, as the old man clearly favors Xu Ke. If the Chairman goes against the old man’s wishes, the old man might not even save face for the Chairman. At that time, the father and son might look very bad, right?

The Chairman’s current approach is too reckless, and it’s just a subsidiary. There’s no need to go personally; sending someone random should be sufficient. Why does he insist on going, bringing this matter upon himself?

Moreover, the Chairman going personally to fire the subsidiary’s president would only confirm that Xiao Group is attacking Yu Group. If this continues, Xiao Group might indeed be at fault.

"Chairman, let’s reconsider this matter. Besides, there’s no definitive conclusion yet, and it might not be our company’s fault. Perhaps it’s Yu Group..."

The assistant, seasoned in business affairs, remains cautious since he was personally chosen by the old man. However, upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen became angry. He was only an assistant, yet he increasingly hindered his actions these days.

"Enough, my mind is made up. Yu Group is a century-old enterprise; they definitely wouldn’t attack our Xiao Group. Moreover, Yu Hao returned from studying abroad, evidently better than that uneducated boy. So, it’s definitely that boy’s fault. We should quickly fire him, remove the anime, and restore Xiao Group’s reputation. If we don’t act promptly now, how will Xiao Group stand in the business world?"

Whenever Xiao Zhen thought of the boy attacking Yu Group, thus tarnishing Xiao Group, he became furious, wondering why his father favored that boy at all. What was good about him?

Hearing this, the assistant could only sit there and sigh. The Chairman had already made his decision, and any further comments would only upset him. It was better to stay silent.

Moreover, upon reflection, the Chairman was right. How could someone like Xu Ke, who hadn’t studied, possibly know about these creative ideas?

Impatient, Xiao Zhen instructed the driver to go fast, and upon arriving at the subsidiary entrance, the security noticed it was the Chairman of the Headquarters and became alert, not daring to speak. Clearly, the Headquarters had come to settle the matter.

Todays’ receptionist, a young lady, didn’t recognize any Chairman from the Headquarters and directly blocked the path.

"Why are you rushing in? Didn’t you see? This is a subsidiary of Xiao Group, not a place for an average person to barge in. Did you make an appointment? If not, please make one here!"

After saying this, she picked up a book and started flipping through the reservation list. Hearing this, Xiao Zhen became furious; even Xiao Group was his, but now a subsidiary dared to act high and mighty.

These people were quite something. He hadn’t visited the subsidiary for a long time, and now even a receptionist dared to be bold in front of him?

The assistant couldn’t help but worry for the receptionist—a blatant disregard at a Xiao Group subsidiary. Not knowing the Chairman was simply too arrogant.

"This is the Chairman of Xiao Group, and you dare block him!"

The assistant exclaimed, watching her surprised expression. "You truly have no sense of awareness nor the realization needed for a receptionist’s job. It’s better not to take on this role; pack up and go home early."

Terrified upon hearing this, the receptionist realized she didn’t recognize him, which led to this mistake. "I’m sorry, I didn’t know the Chairman of Headquarters was visiting. That’s my wrongdoing, and I apologize to the Chairman. Please forgive my mistake and don’t dismiss me. I’ve worked hard to get this job, and if I lose it, I really don’t know what to do."

At this moment, Xiao Zhen, consumed by anger, hearing the assistant’s comment, thought of Xu Ke—someone with no ability but insisting on occupying a position in the company. Many others wanted that spot.

"Since you lack the ability and aren’t dedicated to the job, why do you deserve this position? Enough, hurry up and pack your belongings; leave immediately and stop appearing before me."

Just then, Chang Jingshu passed by, seeing the Chairman of Headquarters. Her heart skipped a beat, immediately calling Secretary Zhou before rushing over.

"I didn’t expect the Chairman himself to be here; we’ve really failed to welcome you properly. What guidance do you have for us, Chairman?"

Upon seeing Chang Jingshu, Xiao Zhen had no interest in interacting; after all, today’s visit was to confront Xu Ke, disregarding others—

"Call your president down immediately. Oh, he’s now your former president. For the replacement president, Headquarters will handle arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Chang Jingshu was taken aback. This couldn’t be true. How could there be a new president? Was Xiao Zhen’s visit today meant to dismiss the president?

More people gathered in the company now, all waiting to watch the drama unfold, with no management presence, creating a noisy scene.

After just finishing reading Light and Shadow Company’s announcement, preparing to work, Secretary Zhou suddenly entered.
