Chapter 1443: No Need to Compromise

Back in the day, when Xiao Zhen just took over the company, he made quite a few mistakes, all of which were left for the old man Xiao to handle. But this kid hadn’t stayed at headquarters for many days, yet he handled these documents well, even better than my original ideas in some cases.

This is just impossible, is this kid a prodigy? Not only did he do things so well, he even marked many suggestions and read the documents quickly. Xiao Zhen instantly had a thought: why not keep this kid at headquarters, having him help out would be better than that assistant.

But then he thought about his daughter, who often comes to headquarters. If his daughter and this kid got close and developed feelings for each other, that’s something he didn’t want to see.

Xiao Zhen was especially torn, but in the end, his rationality won over his little bit of greedy desire.

"Forget it, although this kid is good at handling documents, he still shouldn’t be allowed to lead my daughter astray."

The assistant followed Xu Ke out, not daring to blink, trailing step by step, and since it was lunchtime at headquarters, many people saw this, especially when they saw Xiao Zhen’s assistant being so cautious. They immediately began speculating about Xu Ke’s identity.

Logically speaking, they shouldn’t care, but Xu Ke first changed the chairman’s mind, then appeared at headquarters, which couldn’t help but make people think more.

And supposedly Xu Ke even criticized two department heads today. Even Xiao Zhen helped Xu Ke; although those two heads didn’t suffer losses, they were extremely suffocated. They’d never been criticized at headquarters, yet were criticized by a subsidiary president. How could they not be angry?

Those two department heads, having come out, told everyone what happened inside. Originally wanting to go in, the other department heads all chickened out. Going in wasn’t worth the risk.

"I heard the chairman has changed," a female employee whispered. "He used to particularly dislike the subsidiary president, yet now he’s entrusted all the important company documents to that president. Isn’t he afraid that president might seize power? I feel like the chairman is intentionally cultivating that president."

"Yeah, and now he’s sent others to follow, especially Xiao Zhen’s assistant, who generally doesn’t follow anyone, always with eyes high above, yet before this person, is as humble as can be. Could it be Xiao Zhen wants to pass his position to the subsidiary president?"

"Even the two department heads have no way. It’s said that person’s capability is particularly strong, we better not provoke them. By the way, is that person single? I heard they’re not doing well with the young miss, so if they’re single, can I ask for their phone number?"

"Forget it, I advise you better not. I guess that person isn’t single. After all, if the chairman wants to pass the position to that person, it must be because that person has some progress with the young miss, otherwise do you think the chairman would possibly pass the position to them?"

Company people were speculating, and after Xu Ke finished with the restroom, he saw Xiao Zhen’s assistant still waiting at the door, looking around anxiously for fear that he might run away. Only when Xu Ke emerged did the assistant’s face finally have a smile.

"Are you worried I’d run away? Don’t worry, I’m not running for now, but I’m hungry now, take me to your company’s restaurant to have a meal. I heard your company’s work meals are pretty good."

As a big company, Xiao Group naturally attracts many people.

Therefore, the canteen here is comparable to those outside.

Many colleagues working overtime don’t go out to eat, for the food in Xiao Group’s canteen is so delicious, who’d still go out? Isn’t that dumb?

The assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief hearing Xu Ke express his desire to eat. This little ancestor had roamed almost the entire company, with such long legs walking so fast; without running, you just couldn’t keep up. After wiping the sweat off his forehead, he could finally rest a bit.

"Our company’s meals are the absolute best, I believe once you’ve eaten, you won’t want to leave."

The assistant joyfully spoke, and Xu Ke couldn’t help but joke hearing this: "If I end up unwilling to leave after eating here, then I’ll stay right here, having you lead me around every day. I think that’d be quite nice, better than not having this treatment at the subsidiary."

The assistant could almost cry now. Of all jokes, why Xu Ke had to pick this one, damn it. He’s the chairman’s assistant, not a subsidiary president’s assistant, but he just couldn’t offend this person, smiling bitterly.

"Mr. Xu, please stop joking with me. My ability is just barely enough for the chairman not to mind, that’s why I’ve been kept around. Besides, I see Secretary Zhou is quite compatible with your temperament; if you really come to headquarters, bring Secretary Zhou along. Please, don’t bother me anymore. I’m old and naturally don’t understand Mr. Xu’s needs."

The kind of president brings out the kind of secretary and assistant, so Xiao Zhen’s assistant threw Secretary Zhou under the bus.

"If you feel you haven’t learned much, I’ll talk to Uncle, and arrange for you to come to our subsidiary, learning more from Secretary Zhou, this way you’ll better serve the chairman. Otherwise, with your level, promotion might be tough, and there may be many who want your position as chairman’s assistant at headquarters."

Xu Ke thought he was rather considerate, thinking for the person before him. But now the assistant wished Xu Ke wouldn’t think about it, with Xu Ke thinking this much, the assistant’s heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Xu, let’s go eat, shall we? We shouldn’t say more, the chairman might be waiting for us. Otherwise, he could get angry."

The assistant quickly changed the subject and led Xu Ke to the restaurant. This restaurant was indeed as big as the assistant said, with three stories high, and the chefs were from five-star restaurants.

No wonder it’s so delicious, and here you can choose freely whatever you wish to eat.

Xu Ke chose a window with the fewest people, and casually picked a clay pot dish.

And this assistant, who usually dislikes clay pot dishes the most, had no choice but to follow Xu Ke, for fear this person might get away and let down the chairman’s instructions, so he could only join Xu Ke to eat a clay pot dish, but now his face wrinkled like a tangerine.

"What’s wrong, Assistant Yang finds this hard to eat? If you find it hard to eat, you can choose other things, there’s really no need to compromise or yield."
