Chapter 1290 - 1289: I Know I Was Wrong
Yang Xiao had been worried about this, but he didn’t expect Xu Ke to say it out loud. He directly knelt before Xu Ke, disregarding his own image and the people coming and going.
"Boss, I know I’ve made a mistake, please forgive me this once. I’ve never been so careless at work before. If you give me another chance, I will put my best effort into it. I’m begging you, I really can’t afford to lose this job. If I lose this job, I won’t have any more chances."
Seeing Yang Xiao kneeling, those people quickly took out their phones, recording constantly, thinking there was some altercation at the bar. Even the bar manager came out.
Xu Ke squinted at Yang Xiao kneeling on the ground: "Since you say you’re wrong, tell me exactly where you went wrong. If you can say it right, come to work tomorrow. If not, don’t bother coming."
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Yang Xiao suddenly felt his chance had come, but couldn’t figure out what had offended the boss. So, his eyes wandered around until they fell on two girls, and he suddenly felt he might know.
"Boss, I know. I promise I won’t compete with you for girls in the future. Any girl you like, I’ll let you have her. Just give me one more chance."
After speaking, fearing Xu Ke might not believe him, Yang Xiao raised his finger: "Boss, everything I said is sincere and heartfelt, absolutely from the bottom of my heart, with no deceit. If there’s any girl you like in the future, make sure to tell me. I’ll definitely bring her to you, and even if you like my daughter, I’ll tie her up and deliver her to your bed."
Yang Xiao spoke earnestly, but Xu Ke’s face turned completely dark. Those nearby heard and seemed to ponder, looking at the handsome man and thinking he shouldn’t need to compete for girls, but unexpectedly, he’s a beast in human clothing.
"I couldn’t see it before, this guy is also girl-starved. Now I feel a bit proud of myself."
"Why do I feel this person looks like the Xiao Group’s branch president? The more I look, the more he resembles him. Didn’t they say the president is celibate? Why would he be here? Looks like he’s just trying to build a persona."
"Now that you mention it, it’s true. They say the president has ambiguous relations with the young lady. From the look of things, the president has abandoned the young lady, indeed abandoning the jade for a stone. This man is really foolish."
Upon seeing the president’s expression, Yang Xiao tried to figure out where he went wrong but couldn’t, so he continued to kneel and bow his head repeatedly.
"Boss, I know I’ve made mistakes. Could you point them out for me, so I can change? I’m begging you not to fire me; my family relies on me to support them."
After Yang Xiao’s plea, the people around him got angry, and someone even walked up and pointed at Xu Ke.
"Come on, buddy, we’re all men who come to places like this, but give the guy a break. He just competed with you over a girl. What’s the big deal? Worst-case scenario, find a different girl."
"You don’t have to cut off his livelihood, do you? He worked hard to find this job. You can’t ruin his family just because of this moment. That’s too cruel."
"You’re truly a beast in human form. Now I see it clearly; the Xiao Group branch’s boss is no good at all."
But Xu Ke ignored their words, holding up the somewhat dazed Hong Xuan and spoke to the confused Yang Xiao on the ground: "We came here not for leisure but to discuss work matters. What are you doing? Your entire PR department is working overtime, and you come here for fun. Don’t you think that’s excessive? How can those under you trust you? Or follow you to get things done?"
Facing Xu Ke’s questioning, Yang Xiao deflated like a punctured balloon. Indeed, he came out thinking to gauge Xu Ke’s mood and find a way to resolve the issue, but later he just wanted to have fun, completely forgetting work matters, regretting and hitting himself on the head.
When those around heard this, they were instantly angered, especially the majority who were grassroots employees and couldn’t stand such leaders.
These leaders wouldn’t work overtime themselves but would have grassroots employees continuously over time, so Xu Ke’s words struck a chord in them. Now they wished to skin Yang Xiao alive.
"Didn’t expect it to be like this, Yang Xiao is indeed excessive, letting his employees work while he enjoys himself. Fortunately, I’m not under him, or I’d be unlucky."
"Seems like Xiao Group branch’s president is better, at least considering the staff. Yet just a minister treating employees like this is disheartening. The president’s decision to fire him is spot on."
"Looks like I misjudged something earlier, but rest assured, I won’t misjudge in the future."
Yang Xiao kneeled on the ground, watching Xu Ke’s back, moving hurriedly a few steps and grabbing onto Xu Ke’s leg: "I’m begging the president for one more chance. I was supposed to stay and work overtime with them, but when I saw you go out, I followed. Please, I’m begging."
But Xu Ke pulled away his leg, not wanting to say more to Yang Xiao.
"Yi Yuqi and I are here discussing so much, you might as well talk with your PR department colleagues. Alright, don’t come to work tomorrow. As for your PR department, someone else will take over, and the remaining money will be transferred to your account by finance."
Xu Ke finished speaking and ignored the kneeling Yang Xiao behind him, directly getting into a taxi, putting Hong Xuan in the backseat, and following. Seeing this, Yang Xiao knew he had no chance of reprieve, kneeling forlornly and dejectedly.
Those around shook their heads, thinking Yang Xiao deserved it, having a good job but coming here to give bad ideas to the president, who was clearly upright and had no intention of being here.
Yang Xiao could only watch the taxi leave his sight before finally standing up.
Inside Xiao Group’s branch, members of the PR department had already come up with many plans but couldn’t find Yang Xiao.
