Chapter 1289 - 1288: You Don’t Need to Come to Work Tomorrow
But why does the boss want to drive him away now? Yang Xiao couldn’t understand any of this, so he could only look to Hong Xuan for help, but Hong Xuan just shook his head helplessly.
This Yang Xiao really doesn’t have any self-awareness, making things such a mess. No wonder Xu Ke is angry.
The manager, upon hearing not only himself but also his partner with this big boss was going to leave, felt much of his discontent disappear.
At this moment, although Yang Xiao was embarrassed, he couldn’t help it since the other party was his boss. He thought the boss didn’t want to share with him, and earlier he had accidentally bumped into these three beauties, which made him feel especially awkward, so he rubbed his pudgy hands.
"Mr. President, I’m really sorry. I definitely won’t touch these three beauties again. Please enjoy yourself; I’ll wait for you outside."
"Take these three extraordinary ones away too!"
Everyone: "..."
Even these beauties started doubting if they weren’t attractive enough. But why would anyone be disdainful? No one could figure it out, while Hong Xuan shook his head, knowing his boss was a man of integrity who wouldn’t frequent such places.
The manager had already left the room but upon hearing this, poked his head back in and asked cautiously, "Boss, are they not to your liking? If not, I can find someone else for you. Please don’t be upset!"
Xu Ke’s long-simmering anger was continuously dropping, and everyone felt that Xu Ke was displeased, not understanding why. Wasn’t this place meant for entertainment? How could someone be unhappy while entertaining?
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao’s heart was thumping, realizing he had brought his boss here and the boss was in a bad mood. It seemed their PR department was doomed, and it was all his fault.
"Don’t bring anyone over here again!"
Seeing that Xu Ke was on the verge of exploding, Hong Xuan told the manager, who nodded gratefully. The manager quickly urged the three beauties to leave. The three left reluctantly, glancing back every few steps, while Yang Xiao hung his head, looking like a lost soul.
Now only Hong Xuan and Xu Ke were left, and it finally quieted down.
The air felt much fresher here, and Xu Ke couldn’t help letting out a breath, but then he heard a chuckle beside him.
"Aren’t young people nowadays into this sort of thing? How come you don’t like it? Or are these people not to your taste? Yang Xiao’s taste is indeed not great, but trust me, I’ll find you a suitable person!"
Upon hearing Hong Xuan’s words, Xu Ke turned his head, poured Hong Xuan a glass of wine, and gave him a meaningful look, which made Hong Xuan feel uneasy and cough lightly to clear his throat.
"Since you have such good taste, why don’t you find someone for yourself? But if I tell Auntie, who knows what Auntie..."
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, cold sweat broke out on Hong Xuan’s forehead. Thinking of his wife at home, he quickly shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "Let’s talk about business instead. Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s just for entertainment. But that guy Yang Xiao loves it. I don’t like it at all. I love my work, and my work loves me."
Seeing Hong Xuan so afraid of his wife, Xu Ke just chuckled. Actually, it was pretty good this way, unlike that guy Yang Xiao, who seemed so messed up.
The two had a drink, and only then did Hong Xuan take a bite of food.
"Actually, it’s not about work; it’s some other matters. I’m afraid of making you angry if I tell you!"
"But as someone who’s been through it, and as half an elder to you, I still have to tell you about what Old Master Xiao mentioned to me."
Hong Xuan sighed. That old man talked to Xu Ke and then spent half the day on the phone with him at home, saying he regretted what he said to Xu Ke because Xu Ke was practically a lifesaver for their family.
So, the old man asked Hong Xuan to come over and explain things to Xu Ke.
Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, thinking of that talk with Old Master Xiao, and stared downward, leaving his thoughts indiscernible.
"Actually, the old man didn’t mean it that way. He just dotes on his granddaughter, so sometimes what he says may seem hard to understand."
"But rest assured, the old man absolutely has no ill intentions towards you, otherwise he wouldn’t support you so much. I personally think you and Miss fit well, after all, you both agree on a lot of things. And you can tolerate Miss’s temperament."
Hong Xuan took another sip of his drink, unsure of what the old man was thinking, clinging to the tale of that nonexistent fiancé told by a Taoist priest.
"Don’t worry, that so-called fiancé has run away and doesn’t want to marry Miss Xiao at all. If this marriage did exist, nobody would believe it."
Hong Xuan, in a show of encouragement, patted Xu Ke’s shoulder. "Anyway, keep your spirits up. I have faith in you. And in today’s world, as long as the Miss is willing, you think that old man wouldn’t agree? Don’t dwell on it anymore, and certainly don’t bear a grudge against the old man."
"The old man sent me to apologize to you. After he talked to you that day, he regretted it and hopes you can forgive him. Please don’t hold a grudge."
Upon hearing Hong Xuan’s words, Xu Ke was surprised. After all, when the old man spoke that day, it had been with absolute certainty, leaving almost no room for retreat.
"Rest assured, Uncle Hong, I definitely won’t hold a grudge against the old man. After all, to me, he’s a talent scout, and I’m the thousand-mile horse. Without him, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I’m more grateful to him than anything."
At Xu Ke’s words, Hong Xuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting this young man to bear all of this in mind all along. It couldn’t help but make him sigh at how exceptional this young man was.
Meanwhile, Xu Ke’s lips twitched slightly. He was the so-called fiancé after all, but he couldn’t reveal it. Even if he did, these people wouldn’t believe it, might as well not mention it.
The two drank until midnight, and Hong Xuan was slightly intoxicated. Yang Xiao hadn’t dared to leave from the bar entrance, holding two girls. When he saw Xu Ke and Hong Xuan come out, he hurriedly let go of the two girls and came over. Xu Ke frowned at the scent of perfume on Yang Xiao.
"Alright, hurry home, we’re taking a cab. Also, wash off that smell. No need to come to work tomorrow."
