Chapter 1388: Stubbornness
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s rather unconcerned tone, not only Secretary Zhou but others couldn’t help but twitch their lips. Had their boss fallen ill recently? He seemed a bit out of sorts.
What did he mean by saying the founder of the Xu Group was beseeching their own president? His own president was merely the president of a branch of the Xiao Group; why insist on clashing with a leading enterprise that was nearly a century old?
It seemed that their president was indeed affected by Grandpa Xiao, so perhaps he’s been feeling down lately, conjuring some fantasies. Even Hong Xuan now looked somewhat afraid of Xu Ke.
Showing a deeply worried expression: "President, I think you should step away from work for a while and accompany me to the hospital. Take a good look around, although what happened was a heavy blow, we can’t just be defeated by it. Besides, it’s only a trivial matter. It shouldn’t ruin a man. There’s some misunderstanding in it, and I believe Grandpa will resolve it."
If the president were to be dispirited and hurt by this incident, a talent would be lost indeed. Thinking of this, Hong Xuan felt somewhat regretful. If this talent were lost, the rise of the anime industry would be impossible.
Therefore, he was especially worried. Not only Hong Xuan but even Vice President Chang Jingshu shook her head; clearly, the president had been affected during this time, and it’s unclear why Grandpa had to entrust the business to someone else.
"President, rest assured, if you’re not working in this company anymore, I definitely won’t stay either. Besides, why worry? You built all of this yourself. Even if others come, they can’t replicate it. They won’t grow this industry but only diminish it."
Everyone seemed to think he’d been hit hard by that birthday party. But it didn’t affect him at all; the party actually showed Xu Ke the real gap. Therefore, he wanted to narrow it through his efforts and to find his mother the same way.
Yet, these people along the way, though not seeing each other often, became friends over time and cherished him from their hearts. Thus, Xu Ke was particularly lenient with them.
"Thank you for accompanying me all this way and for always believing in my abilities. I’m not affected at all; what I say is true. Right now, perhaps Grandpa doesn’t believe me, but I think I’ll find the truth of everything."
Upon hearing Xu Ke still entangled in those things, everyone fell silent. Xu Ke might be deeply in love with Xiao Keyi, but such deep feelings hardly solve problems alone. Grandpa disagrees with everything, so no matter how hard Xu Ke tries, what can be done?
"I have now gained the support of the Yu Group’s elder. He promised to help me find my mother. When my mother is found, the truth will naturally surface. I’m not crazy, so everyone should believe me; all of this will be clarified one day."
Seeing Xu Ke’s confident expression at this moment, everyone present was willing to believe that the matter was false. But believing alone wasn’t enough; Grandpa Xiao also needed to believe. If Grandpa Xiao remained firm in his stance, whatever their president did would be futile.
"We believe in you, but during this time, you must also take care of your health. Plus, working overtime could damage your health. I noticed you haven’t taken a proper rest lately. Also, if there’s a chance, come visit home; your aunt has been thinking about you."
Hong Xuan mentioned that last time when drinking, he feared his wife’s nagging upon returning, so he didn’t dare speak, quickly curled up in the bedroom and fell asleep.
But the next morning, his wife didn’t scold him, instead looked delighted, and kept asking why he didn’t bring Xu Ke home, such a well-mannered young man.
"Alright, I understand, I will take care of myself."
At this moment, Xu Long was in the rear seat of the car, resting his eyes. He never expected to meet the heir of the Xu Family in his lifetime; it certainly wasn’t easy. If not for his son’s foolish romance back then, the Xu Family might not have had any descendants now.
"You can rest assured, Grandpa. Although that kid speaks irresponsibly sometimes, I can tell he is a responsible person and won’t leave things unfinished midway. He only indulges verbally, just to vex you, so don’t take it to heart or argue with him. If the Xu Group ever encounters any issue, he would definitely help."
"After observing that kid due to the injury you inflicted, I noticed he is not someone who ignores others’ life or death, especially with your blood ties. So you really need not worry; the main task now is finding Wang Cuixia."
Mentioning Wang Cuixia, it wasn’t just Xu Long behind who sighed, even the driver driving the car did too. Wang Cuixia was a famed beauty in the capital back then.
No wonder Xu Hua had his eyes on her all those years ago. But since losing Wang Cuixia, Xu Hua didn’t get along with the Hu Family’s girl, even ignoring her entirely.
The Hu Family’s girl had admired Xu Hua since childhood, viewing him as her future partner. Since learning someone was in Xu Hua’s heart, she fell into gloominess.
Tried all methods, though she wielded all her tenderness, Xu Hua never glanced at the Hu Family’s girl.
Now it seemed the Hu Family’s girl dedicated her life’s efforts to one person. But this person remained unmoved, not only already having someone in his heart but also being immune to her attempts.
"Thinking of it, the Hu Family’s girl was quite pitiful. If she had met someone else, she might’ve found happiness. Yet, she chose to pin it all on the young master. Though explained clearly, she didn’t give up post-marriage, always seeking his true heart, but how could he cherish it? The young master gave his heart to Wang Cuixia all his life."
"When the Hu Family’s girl left, she was still chanting the young master’s name. Yet, she seemed to have come to terms, wishing the young master and Wang Cuixia together. Suppose she had another lifetime; the Hu Family’s girl might make different choices, not remain resolute."
