Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522: Leaving Like They’re Escaping
Seeing someone you like with someone else, Uncle Li must be feeling pretty upset too, so Xu Ke really understands Uncle Li.
Just hope the two of them can be well now, without any more conflicts, otherwise, it would let down Uncle Li’s expectations for them.
"Alright, you little rascal, you’ve taken my daughter away, but if you don’t treat her well in the future, I absolutely won’t let you off."
He even pretended to shake his fist, but Xu Ke just smiled. He didn’t expect Xiao Zhen to be serious, but he knew it was definitely for Xiao Keyi, so he wasn’t angry.
"Don’t worry, I would never bully Yiyi. Besides, you’ve seen all this time, I’m the one who’s always getting bullied, not her, so you should be worried about me instead!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed it really was she who had been bullying Xu Ke all along. Her dad was just worried, so he said this, but why expose the truth?
This is too embarrassing, and when Xiao Zhen saw his daughter’s shy expression, he immediately confirmed it. Turns out, it really is Yiyi who’s been bullying this kid. Who would’ve thought someone as gentle as Yiyi would find someone to bully someday.
But even though this kid looks gentle and weak, like a scholarly chap who reasons a lot, he hasn’t spared his father-in-law from a bit of banter. This kid obviously indulges his daughter, so what is there to worry about? Hence, Xiao Zhen put aside his last bit of worry.
But now for a free life, especially since the old man despises him, Xiao Zhen just wants to shrug off these responsibilities, find a leisurely place, and travel around, so he can’t help but give some reminders.
"You two better speed things up in the capital, I’m getting impatient. I’ve already set up a trip with my buddies for the second half of the year. The place has reportedly amazing views. If you two delay me, I won’t let you off, and I won’t care about the company here. Anyway, your grandpa really despises me, you know that."
Now Xiao Zhen has thought it through, since the old man despises him so much, he might as well just leave. Everything is stable enough now, Xiao Group doesn’t need him to manage it, so he might as well find something else to do.
But Xiao Keyi felt a bit helpless. Dad used to never want to let go of his power, and now, seeing these powers, it’s like seeing a flood of beasts. But these powers didn’t really do anything to Dad. But since Dad doesn’t want to do it anymore, she won’t force him.
"Dad, what’s this all for anyway? But now the company has many talented people. If you really can’t handle it, you could find a few people to share the burden, right? Besides, not everything needs to be done personally. You just need to take care of the big issues. Grandpa’s here to help, and, after all, Grandpa doesn’t trust you at all. He hasn’t taken a rest in so many years."
Even though Grandpa came out of the Xiao Group, he’s the one who makes decisions on major matters. Xiao Zhen’s decisions are no good, they’d even put the company in a ditch. Yi Yang Qian Xi keeps saying Xiao Zhen has no ability because of that reason, and Xiao Zhen naturally accepts it calmly.
Xiao Zhen used to dream of taking the company into better industries and making it international. But now these dreams are unfulfilled one by one, and the company even seems to be regressing.
So Xiao Zhen isn’t in a rush to handle these things now, he wants to step down instead. Anyway, Xu Ke is much more capable than him. It’d be better to let Xu Ke take over directly.
Xu Ke didn’t expect Xiao Zhen to really be able to let go of his powers now, but there are so many things here, probably can’t be handled in a short time. Otherwise, Mr. Xu wouldn’t have come from so far away.
"You’ll have to wait for that. There are definitely lots of things to deal with. But we’ll call once they’re done. If you really can’t handle it, there are a few good people at the branch. Especially Uncle Hong Xuan, although he’s just a department head, he’ll help if needed. Also, our finance department head, you can use your headquarters’ finance department a bit, they’re simply unusable. Learn from our branch a bit, and you can always ask Grandpa for help with anything."
Seeing Xu Ke has everything arranged and even got him help, it saved Xiao Zhen the trouble of finding people himself. He felt much more at ease now, and looked more favorably upon this son-in-law. It’s a good thing to have him; otherwise, things really would be unfinished.
"Oh, I used to dislike this kid, didn’t think he’d help me. If I had known, I would’ve let this kid come to the headquarters to help me. I wouldn’t be so helpless now. But you two should hurry and go, Mr. Xu is already impatient. If he waits any longer, he might just blow up on me."
Mr. Xu indeed is getting impatient, as he almost never waits for anyone. He didn’t expect to be kept waiting all day by the juniors today, so he is quite displeased, looking at Xiao Zhen as if to eat him.
Why does Xiao Zhen have to have so much to say? It’s just a trip to the capital, not like they’re never coming back. Looking so teary-eyed, no wonder Old Mr. Xiao says his son isn’t capable at all.
Now it seems Old Mr. Xiao’s right, and Mr. Xu totally agrees with him. Xiao Zhen really doesn’t have much ability and now wants to rely on these juniors. Doesn’t he feel ashamed?
"Alright, alright, haven’t you said enough? It’s not like you’re not coming back. There’ll definitely be opportunities to come back. If you miss this train, who knows when the next one is. Hurry up."
Because of a sudden attack last time, Mr. Xu decided not to take other trains this time, nor fly, but take the high-speed rail to the capital in three hours. If they don’t go now, they’ll be too late. So, Xiao Zhen had to let the juniors go, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Alright, I don’t have anything else left to say. If there’s anything, I’ll call you. Be careful after you get to the capital. Now get on the train."
After speaking, Xiao Zhen sent them off onto the train, wiping his tears afterwards. He was really reluctant to let go, but these kids are growing up. He can’t keep them just for his own selfish reasons.
So let these kids go with him, that’s absolutely impossible. So now, Xiao Zhen can only look up at the sky, and the assistant seeing Xiao Zhen crying doesn’t know what to say, always being by the chairman’s side, he’s never seen the chairman like this. Only when the wife left did the chairman cry like this, and besides the wife, this is the first time in so many years the chairman worried so much for the young lady.
