Chapter 1301 - 1300: Headquarters Meeting
Ever since Zhang Shuai learned about Ye Jingli’s information, he felt that the child in Ye Jingli’s belly might not necessarily be his. The thought of this made Zhang Shuai feel a bit unbearable.
Now, Zhang Shuai is certain of only one thing: that the Zhang Mengmeng inside is definitely his child. Thinking of this, he immediately walked into the hospital.
Entering the ward, he saw Zhang Mengmeng playing there, directly picked her up, and Zhang Mengmeng, seeing her father, didn’t dare to move at all.
"Daddy has come to pick you up, you must not be afraid, Daddy will protect you."
Zhang Mengmeng trembled a bit, struggled, and climbed onto the bed: "Daddy, you should leave, Mom definitely doesn’t want you here. And turning this family into this state, you treat me as you did before, just be the same, I’m scared of this."
As Zhang Mengmeng spoke, a nurse came in and quickly shielded Zhang Mengmeng from the unfamiliar man.
"Sir, Mengmeng doesn’t know you, please leave immediately, otherwise it won’t be good for Mengmeng’s recovery. Plus, Mengmeng needs to take her medicine now, please leave at once."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuai immediately got angry, took out his ID card, and tossed it onto the bed: "What? I’m the kid’s father, can’t I come to see her for a bit? Aren’t you just a nurse, who are you showing off to here?"
The nurse was so scared she trembled, and seeing the man’s current state in front of her, she dared not hand Mengmeng to him.
"Sir, please calm down, your behavior will scare Mengmeng, and naturally, she won’t go with you."
After the nurse finished speaking, she comforted the crying Mengmeng, while Zhang Shuai was in no mood for it after seeing Mengmeng cry again.
Zhang Shuai immediately picked up his ID card and left the hospital. He really must have been crazy to come to the hospital to see this child. What was the use of seeing this child, better to spend some effort on Zhu Ya.
Because there was a meeting at the Headquarters today, the president of the branch company had to attend. Although Xu Ke was reluctant to confront Xiao Zhen face to face, he had no choice, as Xiao Zhen was now the chairman of the Xiao Group. Plus, the old man had things going on during this time, so Xu Ke didn’t want to bother him, had to go to the Headquarters himself.
With Chang Jingshu watching over the branch’s matters, Xu Ke felt reassured and only brought Secretary Zhou along.
Secretary Zhou sat in the car, particularly anxious, having already witnessed the temperament of the Headquarters chairman last time, she was genuinely flattering.
"President, maybe we should find a way to avoid crossing paths with the Headquarters chairman. He already has opinions about you, and if you charge head-on, I’m afraid it’ll be embarrassing for you."
Xu Ke shook his head, feeling a bit helpless, yet now having no choice but to go: "It’s okay, we’ll improvise when the time comes. Besides, the branch is also a part of the Xiao Group, I refuse to believe he could just get rid of his own branch company."
Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Secretary Zhou felt a bit relieved, and upon arriving at the Headquarters with Xu Ke, they found that there were indeed many presidents there. However, the front desk of the Headquarters never treated these branch people with any importance.
Even the presidents of these branches were trying to please the receptionist, who kept chin up while attending to these people.
Xu Ke wasn’t one to indulge the front desk’s behavior, so he went straight up, took out his business card, and upon seeing it was Xu Ke, the receptionist dared not slack off. After all, when Xu Ke first arrived at the Headquarters, he had just fired a security guard and a receptionist.
The receptionist quickly bowed: "Ah, so it’s President Xu from the branch company. Please come this way, the president is already upstairs waiting for you, everyone please come along."
The other branch company presidents were immediately dissatisfied upon seeing this. They had come with Xu Ke, so why was Xu Ke receiving preferential treatment?
Feeling even more frustrated inside, as they were all here to report their performance to the Headquarters. What capability did this person have, and this person recently squandered quite a bit of money.
Thinking of this, although those presidents seemed amicable on the surface, their words were extremely sarcastic.
"Oh my, didn’t expect this President Xu from the branch company to gain such acceptance from the receptionist. And this receptionist is so pretty, President Xu is so handsome, really a perfect match. If there’s nothing going on between the two, we really wouldn’t believe it. Why is the receptionist so particular with President Xu?"
"And I heard President Xu is working on a big project recently, let’s see if President Xu can report something at the briefing later. Looks like President Xu is really formidable this year, but can he secure the Headquarters’ resources?"
"Seems like we all need to be deferential to President Xu in the future, otherwise we might not accomplish anything at all, won’t we all?"
These words were clearly derisive, and though Secretary Zhou wanted to retort, Xu Ke stopped her.
"What’s the point of arguing with these people? The real challenge is still ahead."
Much less these people, even Xiao Zhen would probably be against him shortly. So, before coming tonight, he had already prepared himself, such challenges were merely small setbacks.
When those presidents settled in the meeting room, they realized Xiao Zhen hadn’t arrived yet, with only a secretary by his side waiting and constantly fiddling with the PPT, not paying any attention to these branch company presidents, almost disregarding them.
These presidents, puzzled inside, kept trying to flatter the secretary beside Xiao Zhen.
"This Secretary Li, truly the most formidable person beside the president. I’ve heard Secretary Li is about to be promoted soon, really capable, even I am a bit envious."
"Exactly, quite envious. I wonder if Secretary Li could leave a contact, so I can invite Secretary Li for tea?"
"Secretary Li shares the same surname with me, I wonder if we have any fate."
Yet Secretary Li didn’t lift his eyes at all, and just then, as the office door opened, Secretary Li hurriedly lifted his head. Upon seeing the person entering, Secretary Li quickly put away the smile on his face.
"Didn’t expect Zhuge to come over?"
This Zhuge was clearly the assistant dispatched by the old man to the Headquarters. Upon seeing Xu Ke, Zhuge nodded, which made those presidents even more envious, wondering when did Xu Ke know the old man’s assistant, though they envied, Zhuge didn’t even glance at them.
This made Secretary Li even more reluctant to underestimate Xu Ke, finally showing a smile to Xu Ke, but Xu Ke ignored him, making Secretary Li even more anxious, fearing he might have already offended this president?
