Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1455: Chapter 1455: Relying on a Good Face

Manager Zhang knew that it was useless to find the chairman, it was better to find this person in front of him, and he had heard that this person was influential within the company. Had the chairman favored the president of this subsidiary again?

At this point, Manager Zhang clung to Xu Ke’s leg desperately, acting like a shameless rascal.

Xu Ke felt utterly helpless with this person, so he could only try to talk him down: "Brother, we’ve never met before, there’s really no need for this, right? Just tell me what’s going on. If you keep stalling, I think neither of us will get anything done today, being watched like monkeys."

Xu Ke shook his leg, and Manager Zhang hesitantly loosened his grip but remained squatting, extremely aggrieved, even wiping tears from his eyes.

"Is what you’re saying really true? You can’t stand me up!"

Seeing Manager Zhang finally letting go, Xu Ke couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t recall anyone like that in the subsidiary.

Manager Zhang looked at Xu Ke, feeling especially wronged. If he hadn’t insisted on blabbing about finding evidence of plagiarism, he wouldn’t be in this mess. Since he couldn’t find any evidence, he thought the subsidiary’s president made something up and could certainly explain it.

"I’m really begging you, where was the deceit in your animation? How did you fool the chairman? Please clear things up with the chairman, don’t let me be dismissed because of this. I’ve already been fired by the chairman, and my whole family relies on me for support."

Manager Zhang cried passionately, while Xu Ke listened, completely baffled. What did this have to do with him? They were clearly all yelling that it was original work. Why bring up plagiarism? Clearly, this person had a serious misunderstanding.

He thought there might be something he could help with, but it turned out the manager just wanted him to admit to plagiarism. This was obviously not plagiarism, so how could he say so? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Since the chairman directly fired you, you’d better go directly to him. Also, please don’t come to me; I really can’t help you with anything."

Xu Ke sneered: "And our animation has never been plagiarized. Where did this plagiarism come from? Just understand this properly and don’t force me."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, seeing the taxi had just arrived, he wanted to get in. Unexpectedly, Manager Zhang was unafraid and grabbed him again.

Holding on tightly, as if their family’s livelihood depended on him.

"I’m really begging you, have pity on me. Besides, you have such a good relationship with the chairman, you could certainly put in a good word for me. I’ve worked diligently for my whole life at the company. I can’t lose my job because of this. It’s really hard for ordinary people like us to find work, not like you, who can easily get something with just your looks."

Hearing this, Xu Ke burst into laughter from anger, not to mention that the taxi driver, who was quite impatient, couldn’t help but say something.

"Brother, these days it’s not easy for anyone to find a job. Why force this young man? Besides, we’re all waiting here; you can’t have everyone waiting forever, can you? If you really can’t, I’ll just make a phone call."

The taxi driver spoke up for justice.

And he casually pulled out his phone. Manager Zhang saw this, and suddenly scared, Xu Ke took the opportunity to sit in the passenger seat.

But he didn’t like Manager Zhang, nor did he like the person upstairs in that building: "Since you want a way out, let me point you in the right direction. Look, the building lights are still on, and the chairman will be coming out soon. You might as well wait for the chairman. Your chairman is soft-hearted, and I’m sure he’ll listen to you if you sincerely apologize."

Xiao Zhen indeed had a soft heart, but he wasn’t stupid. With the minister being high-ranked, Manager Zhang was just a small manager.

How could Xiao Zhen feel reluctant? Besides, once Manager Zhang left, there would be many others eyeing this position. How could he let Manager Zhang come back?

But Manager Zhang was ridiculously hopeful, grasping at straws when he saw a glimmer of hope, unwilling to give up.

So he kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Group, while Xu Ke, leaving, saw Manager Zhang’s unwilling-to-give-up look. If Manager Zhang truly hadn’t slandered the subsidiary’s animation, perhaps someone could still save him, but now it seemed there was no saving this person.

Moreover, slandering their subsidiary was forgivable, but now attacking Xu Ke personally, could this person still expect help? Perhaps their emotional intelligence was far too low?

The taxi driver turned his head to look at Xu Ke, knowing this person was often in the news: "Young man, I’ve seen many young entrepreneurs like you. When you’re just starting, you’re softhearted, wanting to take care of everyone. But as you spend more time at the company, you’ll realize there are just too many people, and you can’t look after them all."

"As you grow up, you’ll find that you want to help others, but they never thought of helping you and would love nothing more than to exploit you. So, young people should learn to see things openly."

After the driver finished speaking, seeing Xu Ke not responding, he continued driving, and Xu Ke never intended to help Manager Zhang—just wanted to shake off the person in front of him.

Xiao Zhen initially thought that after Xu Ke left, he would finally have some peace for a couple of minutes, happy not to see the boy, as seeing him only caused more irritation.

"Today that boy ate my sushi, really left me exhausted all day long. This time, I’ll go to Furong Building for a good meal."

However, as soon as Xiao Zhen stepped outside, his good mood was immediately disrupted, seeing Manager Zhang reminding him of Su Zining, particularly as Manager Zhang seemed oblivious. Even though he had already been fired, he still came over.

Manager Zhang looked defeated, as if all life had been drained from him, about to crumble at any moment.

Just a few days had made him age a dozen years.

Wasn’t it so? Clearly the manager of the prestigious Xiao Group, yet openly fired, not for business mistakes but simply for saying the wrong thing.

Anyone would feel aggrieved!

"Chairman, listen—everyone was talking that day, not just me. I know I was wrong. Please give me this chance; I have my family to support and can’t afford to lose this job. I’m already in my fifties; finding another job is impossible."

The assistant beside Xiao Zhen could only gaze in sympathy; he couldn’t make decisions, and this person had relied on his mouth to gossip in the company. Now, the trouble had come back to bite him, yet he wouldn’t admit it.

Xiao Zhen glanced coldly at him, and walked straight away!
