Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Little Guy
Could it be that they misunderstood something? The old man Xu has no issues with Xu Ke at all, and by doing this, might they make the old man Xu even angrier?
And at this moment, Xu Ke dodged, making Mr. Lan even angrier. This person not only offended the Chairman, but now caused such a scene. If they don’t kick him out, they might not be able to clean up the mess later.
"You little brat, Mr. Xiao values you so much, how deep is your hatred towards him? The Xiao Family has been so kind to you, yet you dare to call Xu Group’s former Chairman ’Old Man Xu’ in this setting? Hurry up and apologize!"
At this moment, Xu Ke was left dumbfounded. Why should he apologize? Back in the day, this old man was praising him, and isn’t the old man quite clear? Why is everyone looking so tense?
Standing beside Xu Ke, Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his anger surged. What the hell is this kid doing?
Has he started to swell with pride after achieving something? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let this brat show his face, to avoid this situation.
"Old Chairman Xu, I sincerely apologize. My subordinate doesn’t know how to act. I’m apologizing on his behalf. Please don’t take it to heart. Be generous!"
With Xiao Zhen stepping in to apologize for Xu Ke, everyone was even colder. Since when did their relationship become so good? Xiao Zhen being so sincere even surprised the old man Xu, who was rumored to dislike Xu Ke. What exactly is going on now?
"Oh my God, this President of Xiao Group’s branch really knows how to stir up trouble! He relies on his usual capabilities, never considering anyone else. Now, he’s in big trouble, even Mr. Xiao can’t cover for him. Better he falls hard—I’m happy to see it. Such a person might as well go die early."
"Indeed, he’s angered this big shot. From now on, it’s not just Xiao Group, even smaller companies won’t dare to employ him. What good is a high IQ if he has absolutely no emotional intelligence? Isn’t he overly arrogant?"
"Even we can’t cling to connections, yet Mr. Xiao has to bow to them. Xu Ke really thinks highly of himself, daring to call old man Xu as ’Old Man Xu’ without a shred of dignity. Now we should watch how old man Xu will deal with him."
"Alright, quiet down. Did you see? The old man Xu has already come over, ready to confront Xu Ke. Everyone watch closely, don’t miss this moment."
At this time, old man Xu indeed came over, even the bodyguards followed, while Mr. Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.
Xu Ke is undoubtedly a talent; his future development cannot be obstructed. But why does he have to be arrogant in front of this person?
Isn’t this throwing away his future? Suddenly an indescribable worry!
But the housekeeper remains unconcerned, even approached Mr. Xiao and whispered, "Sir, you don’t need to worry now. I’ve managed through various channels, and the one who went to the branch office that day was definitely old man Xu. Hence, Xu Ke and old man Xu have an unusual relationship. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such intimate terms. If old man Xu was truly angry, he would’ve taken down Xu Ke like Su Zining long ago. But he seems to be angry at Mr. Lan for daring to criticize Xu Ke. Their relationship is truly extraordinary, so it might be best if you don’t intervene and assess the situation."
The housekeeper warned again, and Mr. Xiao nodded. Now he also realized, old man Xu isn’t angry with Xu Ke, but with Mr. Lan daring to criticize Xu Ke.
Everyone was eagerly waiting, hoping old man Xu would deal with Xu Ke. But unexpectedly, old man Xu was intensely staring at Mr. Lan, while Mr. Lan believed his actions weren’t enough.
"Old man Xu, I’m truly sorry, such an incident occurred. We apologize to you, but we’ll deal with it promptly. Security!"
Mr. Lan called out, but old man Xu remained calm without any expression. After all, he’s quite a famous artist in the country. Even if old man Xu doesn’t want to give face, at this time, he still restrains himself.
Seeing Mr. Lan hopping around here continuously, Mr. Xiao harshly stomped on Mr. Lan’s foot.
"You shouldn’t meddle in this matter. Does old man Xu need you to take care of it?"
Mr. Xiao’s words left Mr. Lan puzzled. Old man Xu is a guest; what is going on with Mr. Xiao? But he still backed down, and old man Xu seemed satisfied and turned to Mr. Xiao.
"You finally did something right!"
Mr. Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. God, could it really be as he suspected? If it is true, then Xu Ke’s status is unmatched in the past; they’ve offended Xu Ke.
Xiao Zhen looked helplessly at Xu Ke. How is it that this guy’s mouth is still so stubborn?
"Hurry up and apologize, don’t provoke him further. You can’t afford to mess with him. If you can connect with him, your business will gradually start. Don’t you want to go to Beijing? You’ll be stuck in Changnan for life otherwise. Quickly apologize with me!"
Knowing Xiao Zhen’s intentions were kind, but Xu Ke at this moment was truly speechless. The old man Xu is evidently a kind-hearted person, who even had tea with him weeks ago in his office in such a humble manner; clearly like a grandfather.
Moreover, his own grandfather, would he need to apologize at this time?
Besides, old man Xu should apologize to them!
"Hey, old man Xu, you better hurry and tell them. Am I really not allowed to call you old man?"
Upon hearing Xu Ke speak again, Xiao Zhen wished to die on the spot. This kid is clearly here to cause trouble, not a proper apology. If he had known this kid would act this way, he would’ve tied the kid down and let him cause havoc.
Mr. Xiao hastily pulled Xiao Zhen, "Don’t speak!"
In the eyes of the gloating crowd, old man Xu’s face remarkably displayed a broad smile, and his attitude suddenly became much more amiable, "How could I forget about you, little one. I didn’t expect you’d be here as well!"
"Would you like to come in with grandpa? Grandpa hasn’t seen you in a long time and really misses you!"
Grandpa...
Little one...
Hearing this tone, their relationship must be so good; otherwise, it absolutely wouldn’t come out naturally. Instantly, everyone started speculating, wondering when Xu Ke managed to establish a connection with old man Xu. Many began to envy, some even jealous.
