Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1205 - 1204: I Need to Get Some Fresh Air

There must be something else going on. It seems that Xu Ke has directly seduced the young lady.

Thinking of what old Mr. Xiao asked him yesterday, Hong Xuan shook his head. It seems the old man already knew, but he didn’t expose it either. How should he put it? It’s better to let the young people handle it themselves.

"What’s the situation? She came over to deliver breakfast to me. I don’t really want her running back and forth, and it’s so dangerous. But that girl insists on coming, and she wants me to come earlier tomorrow as well."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he placed a stack of documents there.

Looking at Secretary Zhou who was still eating breakfast: "You used to be so scared of me; now you dare to eat breakfast in my office. After you finish eating, take all these documents to Light and Shadow Company and tell Ren Liang that the next tasks should follow this plan."

"Also, tell Ren Liang that tonight, that evening party, he should come and attend. After all, there are some developmental things he needs to know about."

Secretary Zhou nodded, sped up eating breakfast, then quickly drove away to Light and Shadow Company.

Meanwhile, when Xiao Keyi arrived at Headquarters, she found her grandfather had arrived long ago and was sitting in his seat waiting for her.

Upon seeing Xiao Keyi enter, old Mr. Xiao gave her a scrutinizing look from head to toe.

"I heard from the housekeeper that you went out early in the morning. How come you’re only arriving at the company now? The company isn’t far from home, where did you go?"

Upon hearing her grandfather’s words, Xiao Keyi yawned, placed her bag on the chair, and slumped down entirely.

"I went out for breakfast. Besides, you’re the only one who finds the home breakfast tasty. I’m tired of eating it; I don’t like eating breakfast at home."

Xiao Keyi casually found an excuse, and old Mr. Xiao looked at his granddaughter’s demeanor, doubting whether the home breakfast was really that bad. But the breakfast changes daily!

"Don’t eat outside food so much; it’s unhealthy. Did you hear me? No matter how bad the home-cooked meals are, they’re healthier. You keep stuffing yourself with fried food all day, aren’t you worried about gaining weight? And then you talk about dieting."

Xiao Keyi nodded indicating she understood, but old Mr. Xiao looked at his granddaughter and realized she wasn’t genuinely paying attention – she was just dismissing him. Forget it, young people nowadays don’t like listening when you talk too much.

Just then, the assistant brought over the company’s recent development reports and a tall stack of documents requiring signatures.

Xiao Keyi initially thought the documents were finished, but unexpectedly, another stack was brought over. Seeing this, Xiao Keyi felt instantly panicked, swallowed hard, and looked towards her grandfather.

"Grandpa, I certainly can’t finish looking through all these documents in one day, so let’s spread it over two days. Don’t make it too difficult for me. Besides, there’s a party tonight that I need to attend. It wouldn’t look good if you delay me."

Seeing his granddaughter’s sullen face, old Mr. Xiao was no longer the kindly grandfather. He switched to his work mode, immediately stern-faced towards his granddaughter.

Pointing at the towering documents: "Since you’ve taken on the responsibility, you need to act like it. How can you refuse? Besides, how many documents are there? What’s the point of attending that party? It’d be better to research properly. The company will be handed over to you in the future. How can you make your grandfather worry so much?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi could only lower her head and quickly open the nearby documents. Although her grandfather usually indulged her, when it came to work, he was stricter than anyone.

Seeing his granddaughter finally relent, old Mr. Xiao softened his expression considerably, asking the assistant to pour a cup of tea, quietly companioning Xiao Keyi while she reviewed the documents. Whenever Xiao Keyi encountered files she didn’t understand, she asked her grandfather, and with a slight explanation, she understood immediately.

At noon, old Mr. Xiao advised his granddaughter to take a break to eat lunch. Otherwise, her health would suffer, but unexpectedly, she directly refused.

"Grandpa, you go have lunch yourself. I still have some documents to review and won’t join you. Let the assistant accompany you for a while. I’ll eat later tonight."

Old Mr. Xiao, hearing his granddaughter’s words, thought she was finally showing concern for work, nodded satisfactorily as he left.

"Sir, don’t you feel much better now? I told you the young lady has the potential for business, just not yet developed. Now you see she’s handling it well!"

Upon hearing the assistant’s words, old Mr. Xiao felt particularly happy, even eating two extra bowls of rice at lunch, making the assistant both pleased and pained.

The assistant secretly resolved to frequently encourage the young lady to make more effort, thus making the grandfather pleased.

When old Mr. Xiao returned, Xiao Keyi was still immersed in reviewing documents, not even lifting her head, assuming it was just the assistant entering.

"Alright, if you want to come in, do so. Don’t keep knocking. Also, don’t disturb me after coming in; save any matters until later."

She was planning to attend the evening party, and if stalled by these people, what would she do?

Especially thinking of Xu Ke with other female companions by his side made her even more exasperated, speeding her document review.

By the time she finished the documents, it was already five in the afternoon. Thinking of this, Xiao Keyi wanted to quickly go out and drive, but unexpectedly, she was immediately stopped.

"You’ve finished these documents on the side, but there are still some over here you haven’t reviewed. Are you planning to leave these unreviewed? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Listening to old Mr. Xiao’s words, Xiao Keyi almost cried. She hadn’t understood these documents, so left them there. They’re ten centimeters thick! If she finishes them, it’ll definitely be eight by the time she’s done, what can she do by then?

"Grandpa, Grandpa, I’m begging you, please don’t make me review documents today anymore. I feel dizzy from reading them. I need to go out for some air. Can I please go out for a while?"

Old Mr. Xiao nodded upon hearing these words, yet his granddaughter still hadn’t returned half an hour after going out, immediately concerned, he frowns and looks at the assistant beside him.

"Could taking a breath in the restroom take this long? Go out and see if something has happened."
