Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1291 - 1290: Are Your Eyes Just for Venting?

"Didn’t the manager say he was going to find the CEO? And he would be back soon, but now he’s nowhere to be found. Our plan here is still waiting for his approval. If this goes on, none of us can rest tonight. My skin is already breaking out."

A female colleague from the PR department touched her face, with only anger left. Originally, they didn’t want to stay when the manager asked them to, but for the sake of their jobs, they had no choice but to work overtime. They finally came up with a solution, but the manager was nowhere to be found.

Another male employee came in from outside, his eyes red and bloodshot. "Staring at the computer for too long, my eyes can’t take it anymore. Who knows when the manager will come back? Who dares to call him?"

After hearing the male employee’s words, everyone shook their heads. They all knew the manager’s temper, and no one dared to call him. If anyone called first, they’d be the first to die.

At this moment, an intern who had been busy working in the corner stood up suddenly.

He threw down his headphones, "We’ve already come up with a solution. It’s his own fault he hasn’t returned. Why are we all still waiting? Why don’t we just go home and rest? Worst case, we lose this job. Can’t we find the CEO and reason with him? I think the CEO is pretty easygoing, much better than our manager."

This college student was named Li Jun, and he had just started interning this year. Everyone thought the intern would be easy to push around.

But since Li Jun started at the company, no one dared to bully him. Not only was his background strong, but his temper wasn’t easy either. Even the PR manager, Yang Xiao, had been pushed back by Li Jun several times.

The others didn’t dare leave, but Li Jun looked at them and shook his head. These people had gotten used to being oppressed by Yang Xiao, and so they had become accustomed to following his orders blindly. But they had finished their work; why stay?

So Li Jun walked out first, and slowly, more employees followed, until only a few were left. They gritted their teeth, turned off the lights, and left the company.

After Xu Ke sent Hong Xuan home, Hong Xuan’s wife frowned when she saw him in such a drunken state. Xu Ke patted Hong Xuan’s back to make him feel better.

"Auntie, he was drinking with me. Don’t worry, it was just the two of us, just a bit of alcohol. I didn’t see that he drank too much, and I hope you can forgive me."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the woman quickly shook her head, showing a gentle smile. "You must be Xu Ke. My husband always mentions you, and I feel at ease when you’re with him. I just don’t want him hanging out with those no-good friends of his. Oh, you’ve had quite a bit too, come in and have a bowl of soup."

Xu Ke shook his head, thinking about those PR department employees still working overtime at the company, so he had to leave early.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but you should take care of my uncle. I need to go back to the company. There are employees working overtime, and they must be very tired by now. Their manager isn’t around; I’ll go tell them they can leave."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he left, leaving the woman stunned. She didn’t expect a CEO to care so much for his employees. It seemed her husband had it much easier under this CEO than before.

When Xu Ke arrived at the company, he found the lights were off, which made him feel relieved.

The security guard was surprised to see Xu Ke come by at midnight. Xu Ke was usually the first to arrive during the day. Was he coming in at midnight now?

So the guard hurried over, leaned against Xu Ke’s car window, and cautiously asked, "CEO, are you coming to work now? Shouldn’t you get some rest?"

Upon hearing the guard’s inquiry, Xu Ke shook his head, staring at the darkened upper floors.

"Where are the people from the PR department? Weren’t they working late? What time did they leave?"

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s question, the guard thought the CEO was blaming the PR department. He could only shake his head. Those people were completely worn out.

The guard’s child was about the same age as those in the PR department, and if his own child worked that hard, he’d be worried too. So he couldn’t help but say, "CEO, they’ve been very tired, and none of them had dinner. Let them rest a bit. They’re young, but their bodies aren’t made of iron."

Hearing the guard’s words, Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, realizing the guard was indeed kind-hearted.

"You’ve misunderstood. I came to let them leave early, and their manager has already been fired."

"Alright, I’m off!"

The guard watched as Xu Ke’s car disappeared, stunned. He had thought it was Xu Ke making them work overtime, but he hadn’t expected it wasn’t Xu Ke at all, and Xu Ke even came over specifically. Their CEO was really considerate.

If those colleagues in the PR department knew, they would be so happy, wouldn’t they? Thinking of this, he shook his head, hoping those colleagues would find out.

That night, a hot search suddenly pushed Yang Meili down, taking the top spot.

Yang Meili had already gone to bed, but her assistant knocked on her door, placed the phone on the table, and urgently called her name.

Yang Meili hated being interrupted when sleeping, so she pinched her assistant’s ear viciously, while the assistant kept crying out in pain, but Yang Meili didn’t let go. Seeing the assistant’s ear turn red and start bleeding, Yang Meili finally let go, taking a tissue to wipe the blood off her hand.

The assistant immediately held her ear, gasping in pain, and when she saw the blood on her hand, tears of grievance started flowing.

Seeing the assistant’s tears made Yang Meili even angrier. She threw the phone to the ground, hitting the assistant’s foot. The assistant quickly stepped back, not daring to make a sound.

"What’s there to cry about for such a small thing? You’ve never accomplished anything, and now you’re crying. Do you have the face to cry?"

The assistant, in a fury, clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could do to Yang Meili. After all, she was Yang Meili’s assistant. Yang Meili stared at the phone for a long time until her anger subsided a little, then sat down on the chair.

"You useless thing, hurry up and pick up the phone and hand it to me. Are you waiting for me to bend down to pick it up? You should know who I am. How can you be so blind to such a thing? Are your eyes just for show?"
