Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1286 - 1285: How Is the President’s Mood Today?

Isn’t this unnecessary right now: "I think Minister Zhu actually knows it himself, so I’m the one interrupting. If there’s anything, Minister Zhu can feel free to find me. I have other things, so I’ll leave first."

Zhu Ya watched Secretary Zhou leave and pushed her glasses up. During this period, she has put a lot of effort into keeping up with the company’s pace, even though her energy isn’t what it used to be. However, she must be flawless.

In the evening, when Xu Ke was about to leave work, he noticed the lights in the public relations department were still on.

In the past, this department was the first to leave.

And almost no other department worked overtime, so he couldn’t help but nod. It seems Secretary Zhou has indeed given them some pressure. But perhaps that’s for the best; hopefully, they can produce some results tomorrow.

"Mr. Xu, are you heading home?"

At this moment, Hong Xuan came out with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face. Recently, Hong Xuan finally realized his dream, so he’s really motivated at work.

Xu Ke nodded. He hasn’t seen Hong Xuan lately; Hong Xuan has been at Light and Shadow Company for a while, so they haven’t had a proper chat.

"Mr. Xu, do you have time? If you do, let’s go out for a drink together?"

Hong Xuan extended the invitation, and Xu Ke raised his eyebrows because people Hong Xuan’s age rarely go out drinking, and it’s said Hong Xuan’s family is strict. He generally doesn’t attend company gatherings, yet today he invited Xu Ke out for a drink.

When Hong Xuan saw Xu Ke’s look, he immediately felt embarrassed. Could it be the president knows about his family situation? Thinking of this, Hong Xuan quickly scratched his head.

"It’s nothing to occasionally go for a drink, so don’t look at me like that, Mr. President."

His wife indeed doesn’t allow him to drink because Hong Xuan doesn’t handle alcohol well and tends to overdrink.

But going out with Xu Ke, he believes he won’t drink much, and his wife will understand too.

"Since you say that, let’s find a place to have a drink."

Just as Xu Ke and Hong Xuan finished speaking and were about to leave the company, they unexpectedly saw Yang Xiao, who hurriedly came running with his belly shaking, his hair flying in the air.

This guy barely has any hair left, but to cover his scalp, he lets the hair on the sides grow particularly long.

But it doesn’t seem to cover much, it’s just that no one dares to say anything.

"Hey, President, Minister Hong, where are you two going? It’s late; do you want me to drive you?"

Earlier, while Yang Xiao was catching some air, he saw the president and Minister Hong seemingly discussing something. Both were smiling, so he quickly mentioned this to his department staff, hurriedly grabbed his bag, and came down.

Xu Ke saw him; except for meetings, he hadn’t really interacted much with Yang Xiao, so he frowned slightly, noticing Yang Xiao’s pants were almost slipping off his belly.

Ah, Yang Xiao indeed shyly smiled, placed his bag on the ground, and quickly adjusted his belly, or more accurately, lifted his pants. But the belly was so big that the adjustment seemed ineffective, and when he picked up his bag again, his pants were still slightly loose.

Hong Xuan indeed smirked and felt embarrassed to say anything more, so he turned his head.

"Your PR department has been busy these days, so Minister Yang should focus on his tasks."

After Xu Ke said this, Yang Xiao was afraid Xu Ke would leave. He came to probe Xu Ke, hoping to understand what outcome Xu Ke desires, so he followed along. He couldn’t let Xu Ke just abandon him.

"Our PR department will handle things properly, but your happiness is what’s most important."

"I know a particularly good night market."

Xu Ke shook his head. At a glance, Yang Xiao’s belly gave away his sensitivity to food, and Hong Xuan also felt a bit awkward to refuse.

"Since Minister Yang is so familiar, why not take me and the president along?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected the HR minister to be so approachable. If that’s the case, he can get close to the president through the HR minister, and maybe the president will offer some advice; this should be possible, right?

Thinking of this, he quickly tucked his bag under his arm: "Alright, I’ll drive, and take the president and Minister Hong out for some fun."

Xu Ke gave Yang Xiao several looks; aside from being talkative, he found almost no merits in him.

So after getting into the car, he didn’t plan to converse with Yang Xiao, instead leaned back in the rear seat and closed his eyes.

While Yang Xiao kept driving, he felt extremely uneasy, noticing Minister Hong kept observing the scenery outside, so he couldn’t help but ask for help from Minister Hong.

He spoke softly: "Brother Hong, can I ask how the president is feeling today?"

If the president was in a bad mood, he would avoid suggesting such things to avoid upsetting the president. In case the president got unhappy, the entire PR department could suffer, and he certainly didn’t want to be the first to face that; he simply took an aggressive approach.

Listening to this, Hong Xuan looked at the driving Yang Xiao, surprised at Yang Xiao’s crafty demeanor, uncertain of his intentions. So Hong Xuan couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

He spoke earnestly: "Old Yang, you’re getting up in years, don’t bother guessing the president’s thoughts. He’s a young man of the new era, different from us old folks. Just focus on doing your job well. Why always try to figure out the president’s mind?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao could only pout, realizing he couldn’t get anything useful from Hong Xuan. No wonder people say Hong Xuan is upright; being too straight-laced means there’s no useful information to gain. So he focused on driving.

In the rear, Xu Ke was actually not asleep, having listened to their conversation; his impression of Yang Xiao worsened. Instead of focusing on work, Yang Xiao seemed to be pursuing these tricky strategies.

He had to consider whether the PR department was suitable for the company. If not, they’d need a new team.

At this time, Hong Xuan cautiously glanced at the rear, knowing that Xu Ke seldom sleeps in the car. The PR minister was bold enough to discuss this matter in the car, suggesting the president likely heard it; hopefully, the PR minister would seek blessings for himself.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiao remained unaware of their internal thoughts.
