Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Planning to Be a Hands-Off Boss

Manager Zhang, seeing the chairman like this, became anxious at once. If the chairman leaves, where will he find someone to talk to? It would be unbearable.

"Chairman, please listen to me. I’m begging you, just give me one more chance. Even if you let me become a basic employee, that’s fine. You can’t just fire me directly, can you? Everyone around is laughing at me, how can I face them now?"

"I don’t think I said anything wrong; I was just misled by others. Many people believe the branch company plagiarized. But... I’m begging you."

Xiao Zhen, seeing Manager Zhang, felt as if he saw his own embarrassing self at the branch that day. He would never tolerate someone like Manager Zhang spreading gossip in the company.

Since the man was pleading here, and many people were taking pictures, if he didn’t forgive, it might seem like he’s the one at fault.

"Since you want to atone, well, our parking lot happens to need a security guard. Didn’t you say you’re willing to start from the grassroots? Then start from the grassroots."

Hearing this, Manager Zhang was stunned. Although he spoke nicely, he didn’t mean becoming a security guard; that would be too humiliating.

But he couldn’t take back what he said. Isn’t this just like lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot? He was helpless.

He could only look pitifully at Xiao Zhen, but Xiao Zhen just walked away.

The security guard at the door sneered disdainfully. The chairman did well. These managers thought themselves important; now they’re managing the parking lot. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Manager Zhang looked up just in time to see the security guard’s expression. Though he couldn’t do anything about the chairman, he could still say a few words to a security guard.

"Just a lousy guard, huh? Who do you think you are to give me attitude? Even a dying camel is bigger than a horse."

Manager Zhang left cursing, while the security guard ignored him. Anyway, it’s impossible for Manager Zhang to really work as a security guard.

The next day, without Xu Ke assisting Xiao Zhen, he indeed felt the work efficiency drop by half. These documents, which he usually could handle, suddenly seemed unreadable today. Why were there so many? And the department managers kept piling them up one after another.

The assistant’s face stiffened. There was no choice. The chairman didn’t want to look at a single document. Why bring them here? They just wanted the chairman to look them over. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The one suffering was not anyone else but the little assistant. Yesterday he disliked Xu Ke so much, and today he wanted the branch president to come over, at least to avoid this low-pressure atmosphere.

"Chairman, do you want to bring Xu Ke over from the branch? He’s good at handling documents."

The assistant suggested, but Xiao Zhen had wanted Xu Ke to come in the first place. Hearing the assistant’s words, the meaning suddenly changed.

"Why, do you think I’m not capable, that’s why you want Xu Ke here?"

"I’ve managed the headquarters for so many years; it’s just a few documents. Is it necessary to target me like this? If you really think the branch president is so capable, I’ll just transfer you to the branch to be his assistant."

Unexpectedly, a single sentence upset the chairman. The assistant could only look distressed. The chairman was really hard to please, even though he’d tried his best. Obviously, the chairman meant that.

The assistant could only bow and apologize: "Chairman, that’s not what I meant. I was saying, isn’t it good to keep Xu Ke by your side when you have concerns about him? Test his abilities. If he really isn’t capable, you can fire him!"

Xiao Zhen paused, thinking this might be right. If he really places Xu Ke by his side, it would be to test the branch’s capabilities. Finally having a reason, his expression lightened. He immediately dialed the branch’s number, but after calling, he sat coldly in his chair. It’s outrageous.

The assistant saw this and immediately became scared. What happened now? Could something have gone wrong?

"Chairman, what happened? Is there something wrong? You can tell me. If possible, I’ll help you solve the problem. Please, don’t worry."

Xiao Zhen turned and glanced at the assistant. If this assistant were Xu Ke, that would be great. Unfortunately, this assistant couldn’t do anything; he couldn’t even please others. Really, what’s the use of this assistant?

It’s like I’ve seen a ghost, with Xu Ke falling ill now. Wasn’t he fine? And didn’t he gain the upper hand arguing with me yesterday?

If this gets out, wouldn’t they say the chairman of the headquarters is bullying people?

But he couldn’t just call him back now. Xiao Zhen felt wronged but had no place to vent, so he held it in alone. The assistant saw Xiao Zhen in a bad mood but didn’t dare to approach, yet the chairman didn’t need to be like this.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke wasn’t actually unwell; today, he had to go pick up Wang Cuixia. After all, Wang Cuixia agreed to return to the country, and surely she’d arrive, on a flight at 2 in the afternoon. Whether to go to work or not, the company would still run the same. But it had been so long since he’d seen Wang Cuixia.

But Xiao Zhen’s side wasn’t doing well. So Xiao Keyi was handed the matters at the company. Originally she wanted a few days off, but now Xiao Zhen couldn’t handle all these files alone, so he had no choice but to call his daughter over.

When Xiao Keyi arrived, she saw the pile of documents on the desk and gave a cold laugh.

"So many files and it’s been hard for my dear dad? Wasn’t it said that my dear dad can do everything? How is it that he can’t now?"

Although dad was indeed quite good before, especially taking him to the hospital, Xiao Keyi always separated business from personal matters well.

Previously, Xiao Zhen kept a firm grip on the chairman position and wouldn’t hand it to anyone, which Xiao Keyi remembers clearly, even himself, dad was extremely unwilling at the time.

Xiao Zhen gave an awkward smile. Indeed, he had been wrong in the past for holding onto the chairman position so tightly in the company. After experiencing the perks of not being the chairman, Xiao Zhen had instantly become addicted to it.

"I was truly muddled before, wasn’t I? If you really want to work in the company, then Dad will give you the position. Just work well for the company. Besides, I’m getting older; indeed, some things are becoming harder to handle."

Xiao Keyi sighed and looked at the mountain of files on the table. In just one day, these files had piled up like a mountain, showing how large the Xiao Group had become.

Xiao Zhen saw that Xiao Keyi was preparing to take over, planning to be a hands-off boss. But before he could leave, he was stopped.
