Chapter 533: Chapter 533 Let’s Go Together
Xu Ke looked at the two women standing opposite him and finally couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Xu Ke tilted his head, his eyes filled with doubt, "Where on earth do you see that I’m a person who can be easily threatened? If you really want to die, I’m not stopping you. You can go die now and see if your death affects me at all." Xu Ke said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
What Xu Ke said was unexpected and truly cold-blooded, causing the woman who initially thought she could successfully threaten him to lose all the color in her face.
The woman moved her lips, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"Still want to die? If not, step aside, don’t block my way to work." Xu Ke said coldly to the woman in front of him.
Xu Ke’s attitude left the woman completely frozen in place. Obviously, she didn’t want to die; she just wanted to use this method to stay in the company. But clearly, she used the wrong strategy, as Xu Ke wasn’t buying it.
"Mr. Xu, I was wrong, I really understand now. I beg you not to fire me. I promise I will work hard in the future and never make such mistakes again."
The woman, pale-faced, knelt in front of Xu Ke, looking at him with hopeful eyes, hoping he would be merciful and let her stay.
Chairman Sun had been observing the changes in the expressions of the people around him. Seeing their eyes clearly showing sympathy for the woman, Chairman Sun looked at Xu Ke with a hint of disdain.
"Although she made a mistake this time, those who do not know are not guilty, and she is, after all, an old employee of the company. Even if there are no achievements, there has been hard work. Now that she has put aside her dignity and pleaded so much, she must have unspeakable difficulties. We should keep her." Chairman Sun spoke up again on behalf of the woman.
Xu Ke knew that his uncompromising handling of the situation this time would make the company’s employees feel a sense of the fallen fox lamenting the dead rabbit and might even lose their sense of belonging to the company.
Someone else might feel pressured, but who is Xu Ke? He is the actual sect leader of Xu’s Company. The number of people who come to interview at Xu’s Company every year is innumerable, would he lack these few people?
It’s simply the biggest joke! So Xu Ke didn’t care at all, didn’t care if these people would continue to stay in the company.
Xu Ke’s gaze fixed sharply on Chairman Sun, his eyes showing a clear understanding of everything.
"I run a company, not a charity organization. Why should I keep someone who is of no use to the company and may even have a negative impact? From what position and standpoint are you asking me to keep her? Chairman Sun, do not forget your identity. Compassionate hearts are not meant for this place. If you want to do charity, I can recommend a charitable foundation to you to serve your kind-heartedness." Xu Ke said coldly.
What Xu Ke said did not spare Chairman Sun at all.
Chairman Sun’s face turned pale and particularly unsightly after being humiliated in public.
She felt that the eyes of those around her were all mocking, making her whole body tremble, but given Xu Ke’s position, she could only swallow this bitter fruit and secretly resent the woman who was still lying on the ground.
If it weren’t for this woman, she wouldn’t have been embarrassed on such an occasion today.
Chairman Sun glared fiercely at the woman, following Xu Ke with her high heels clicking as they walked forward.
Chairman Sun had just taken two steps when she saw Xu Ke stop.
"Oh, by the way. I just remembered something. Let those two receptionists over there be dismissed as well, and that HR person should also leave."
Xu Ke pointed at the two women who were still watching the scene, and after dropping a bombshell, he turned to aim his arrow at the "meatball"
The three people who thought they had narrowly escaped were momentarily dazed, thinking they had misheard.
But Xu Ke’s expression told them that things were exactly as they had heard.
The two women who were still cracking sunflower seeds and watching had no time to react, and the "meatball," closest to Xu Ke, was the first to come to his senses.
His fat body became extraordinarily nimble at that moment, and with a swift move, he was in front of Xu Ke.
"Mr. Xu, is there some misunderstanding between us? My attitude just now was indeed not very good, but I was misguided. I have worked in the company for so many years, contributing in various ways, big and small. You can’t just dismiss me over a small misunderstanding," the "meatball" said, touching his thinning hair top.
"Furthermore, to err is human. You must give me a chance to correct my ways!" The "meatball" looked at Xu Ke with a sincere expression.
"Misunderstanding? I don’t see one. Favoritism, using your authority to place your relatives at the receptionist position, and being disrespectful to me based on your relative’s words. Your various behaviors from the moment I entered have already explained some problems." Xu Ke stopped and looked at the "meatball" in front of him.
"I have doubts about the contributions you claim. Are you going to obediently pack up and leave now, or shall we sit down later and quietly settle accounts with you?" Xu Ke licked his molars and his mouth curled into a subtle smile.
The two stood face to face; the "meatball’s" lips trembled, the color draining from his face, turning from white to blue, and the look he gave Xu Ke was filled with a mix of reverence and despair.
Finally, the "meatball" shifted his body, though he only took a small step, his face became suddenly gray, making him seem several years older out of nowhere.
"Yes, I’ll go through the departure procedures later." The "meatball" said in a low voice.
Seeing the "meatball" admit defeat, the two women behind the counter, who were initially restless, abandoned their thoughts and quietly watched Xu Ke walk into the elevator like quails.
Xu Ke was quite satisfied with these three people’s awareness, giving them a sidelong glance as he led Chairman Sun into the elevator.
"Where is your office?" Xu Ke asked Chairman Sun, who was following him, as he stepped into the elevator.
"I’ll take you there." Chairman Sun’s complexion improved significantly, but there was still a hint of stiffness and coldness when facing Xu Ke.
Xu Ke softly responded "Mm," without saying more, and the elevator quickly fell silent; however, the silence did not last long before they reached their destination.
Xu Ke’s gaze swept across the office, "Chairman Sun’s office is just like Chairman Sun himself." Xu Ke commented as he looked at the office, primarily in black and white tones.
Chairman Sun did not know what Xu Ke meant by this and did not speak, instead standing by silently awaiting Xu Ke’s instructions.
"I just dealt with those people downstairs, and now it’s time for the two of us." Xu Ke sat in Chairman Sun’s usual swivel chair, looking at her discontented face, and spoke with a slight chill in his voice.
"What? At this point, does Chairman Sun have nothing to say?" Xu Ke asked with a faint smile, looking at the ever-silent Chairman Sun.
