Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1216 - 1215: Let Me Do It for You

"Boss, from now on we’re one family, so if you need anything just let us know. We’d go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"But just don’t let us go find the president."

Upon seeing what they said, Xu Ke slowly typed a message directed to Yu Hao.

"Then come to the president’s office tomorrow, I’ll do it for you."

After seeing these words, everyone’s expressions turned stiff. They didn’t expect the person on the other side was their president, and they were insisting on helping the president prepare the reports. How embarrassing is that? What should they do now, they would definitely get fired. They all wished they could retract their messages, but it was too late, the president had already seen it.

After a long silence in the group, Hong Xuan sent a laughing emoji, Secretary Zhou also sent one, while everyone else was silent.

The president must be so awkward, this joke wasn’t funny at all but what could they do? They suddenly regretted making this joke. Is there any way to take it back now?

But in this world, there’s no medicine for regret.

"Mr. President, I was in the shower earlier, and it was my son who took my phone and sent the messages, please don’t mind them, that was absolutely not my intention. I will definitely work overtime today to ensure the report is on your desk tomorrow."

Suddenly this excuse appeared in the group. Not to mention others, even Xu Ke didn’t believe it. If it was really his son, how would he know about the report?

But Xu Ke had no intention of exposing it, and the others, seeing this excuse, began to imitate it.

"I was out buying something for my girlfriend earlier and didn’t realize she took my phone and replied to the messages. She thought it was all a joke with everyone. Please don’t take it to heart, Mr. President, I’ll make sure to complete the financial report properly tomorrow."

"Mr. President, I just got a new phone, the old one was taken by a thief after work today. That thief was too much, not only did he take the phone, but he even managed to send messages in our group. It’s outrageous."

Listening to these excuses, Jane nearly burst out laughing. These people were trying to blame everything on those around them, and indeed, those people had to take the fall for them.

After making up these excuses, they were still anxious, knowing that the president must know it was them who did it. Now it depended on how the president decided to handle it, hoping he would spare them, and indeed they would studiously learn their lesson from now on.

Xu Ke, observing these people, understood he had been too harsh usually, which made them fearful, and he had no intention of arguing further.

"This is the first and last time!"

Seeing Xu Ke’s message, each one of them heaved a sigh of relief, realizing they wouldn’t need to resign after all, which was excellent. They also knew Xu Ke was likely very aware of the situation but just pretended not to be.

With immense gratitude, as they were about to log off and quickly start on the reports, unexpectedly Xu Ke began giving direct guidance in the group.

Hearing this, they were suddenly enlightened. Xu Ke knew they couldn’t handle reports well, indeed they had been lax all these years, but they were always diligent in their positions. So, if they were willing to change, he was still willing to give them an opportunity.

And after this realization, they hurried to work overtime on their tasks.

Recently, when Xiao Keyi brought Xu Ke meals, she often heard these words. She was puzzled, weren’t these employees previously complaining about Xu Ke being strict? Why were they now praising him?

"Previously, I thought the president was strict, but now I see he genuinely has our best interests at heart. To make us learn these things, he first gave us a hard lesson and then a sweet reward. We need to work hard under the president in the future."

"Exactly, where else can we find such a good president? I won’t switch jobs anymore, and won’t listen to anything they say. I must work hard."

"Luckily I wasn’t lazy before, otherwise, it would have been me leaving the company this time. Alright, let’s stop talking and get back to work, so when the president arrives, we can surprise him."

Xiao Keyi found it unbelievable. Even employees at the headquarters would often find ways to be lazy, yet here, in the branch office, without any supervision, employees were keen to work diligently. It seemed Xu Ke’s influence on them was significant.

This instantly made her feel proud, realizing the man she admired was indeed excellent, and now those people should be silenced.

Xu Ke could truly feel the changes in his company’s employees, so in recent days he made major adjustments within the company, assigning everyone to their strengths.

At Light and Shadow Company, the character modeling for the game was ready, but some post-production technical issues were still being resolved. However, the animation was ready for release next week because significant funds had been invested.

Originally, they could have released it following current market standards, but Xu Ke decided to make the company’s project grander, especially in terms of promotion. So, he discussed with Light and Shadow Company about hiring several entertainment celebrities as endorsers.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s decision, Ren Liang was very grateful for Xu Ke’s trust and expectation in their company, but Ren Liang also understood that it’s already challenging for the company to reach its current stage, and hiring those celebrities would entail massive endorsement fees, which could be better spent on refining gaming technology.

"I understand your concerns, but naturally, the expectations from Mr. Xiao mean we have to execute this well. So, no matter the cost now, we can’t give up."

Realizing Xu Ke had made up his mind, Ren Liang knew there was no room for reconsideration, and he had to execute Xu Ke’s direction. There was no decision on which celebrities to hire yet, so Ren Liang couldn’t decide.

He could only write a list and give it to Xu Ke, who later that night scrutinized these celebrities’ backgrounds with a furrowed brow. They were all traffic-driven celebrities without much acclaim, merely having significant popularity but extremely high endorsement fees.

"Mr. President, this is the list I found, recent popular celebrities. I heard their endorsements significantly boost product sales, but the fees are extremely high."

Xu Ke glanced at the message, then directly messaged Yu Hao: "We won’t be using any of these celebrities. As for the endorsers, I’ll figure it out myself."
