Chapter 1708: Shrew

From the words of this fat woman, Xu Ke could roughly tell that this person should be the relative of the supervisor that Little Apple mentioned.

Little Apple obviously hadn’t realized that the fat woman would suddenly appear here.

“Li Shufen, it’s work time now. Why are you here? Besides, the company doesn’t stipulate that all new employees must report to you. I’m also part of the company’s training department; new employees have the right to come to me too.”

Li Shufen obviously didn’t take Little Apple seriously, after all, her relative was the company’s logistics manager.

As long as her relative was around, she could walk sideways in the company.

“Oh wow, you turned tough just after a few days. I think your supervisor should have told you that there’s no need for me to repeat myself. This new employee belongs to my side too, and today, no matter what, they have to come with me.”

Li Shufen’s aggressive demeanor left Little Apple clearly outmatched.

Xu Ke, standing aside, couldn’t bear to watch. This woman was like a shrew, nothing about her suggested she was an employee of a publicly listed company.

“I really didn’t expect there’d be a parasite like you in the company, I wonder how long you and your so-called high-up relative have been wreaking havoc here.”

Xu Ke’s words stunned Li Shufen; she sized him up and discovered that the young man before her was dressed quite ordinarily, clearly just an average working person.

“Oh my, a new employee acting all high and mighty? Do you believe that one word from me could get you thrown out of the company? Do you know how many people want to enter our Red Star Group? With people like you, I could recruit a hundred in one day.”

Li Shufen, in this manner, precisely resembled a shrew cursing in the street.

Xu Ke was truly gaining experience this time, he hadn’t expected to encounter a shrew in a publicly listed group.

Seeing Little Apple on the verge of tears, Xu Ke stepped in front of her directly.

“Didn’t expect my first day here to meet a shrew. Looks like I really should talk to your company’s president; people like you are indeed scum. You’re called Li Shufen, right? I’m definitely handling today’s matter. You’ve bullied Little Apple for so long, it’s time for you to face retribution.”

Xu Ke’s words didn’t help; instead, they made Li Shufen think the young man before her was a complete idiot.

Even with clothes totaling no more than 200 yuan, he dared to provoke her here.

It’s worth mentioning that Li Shufen’s monthly income had reached 10,000 yuan. To her, crushing Xu Ke was simpler than squashing an ant.

“I say, you brat, don’t show off here. Before showing off, take a look at what you’re wearing. If everything on you adds up to over 200 yuan, I’ll admit defeat. Now look at me, every piece is a name brand. One pair of my shoes could be your years of hard work.”

At this point, Xu Ke didn’t know what to say anymore. Why was he talking to such a fool? This just lowered his intelligence.

Of course, every piece of clothing Xu Ke wore was an internationally renowned luxury item; some clothes couldn’t be purchased no matter how much money you had.

The total value of Xu Ke’s outfit probably reached seven figures, yet only someone like Li Shufen could mistake them for cheap knock-offs.

Xu Ke casually glanced over Li Shufen’s entire outfit.

Despite every item on Li Shufen being a name brand, upon closer inspection, it was clear that all her name-brand pieces were fake and substandard.

In other words, there wasn’t a single genuine item on her body; everything was fake goods.

“Oh my, before saying these things, take a look at what you’re wearing. If I haven’t guessed wrongly, those AJ sneakers on your feet are from Putian. As I understand it, buy two pairs and they’d even give you a 30% discount. And if my guess is right, the clothes on you are from Yiwu Market. I just saw their ad yesterday on my phone, 50 yuan for two pieces plus a free one. As for your pants, no need for me to say, everyone can see they’re 80 yuan a piece from a street stall. Don’t think having a basketball print turns them into Jordans.”

Xu Ke’s words were like countless needles stabbing into Li Shufen’s heart.

All the name brands on her were indeed fake and substandard counterfeit products.

You could say the value of all her clothes together definitely did not exceed 200 yuan.

Even the shoes she wore only cost 25 yuan each at Putian.

Li Shufen once bought ten pairs of these shoes in one go.

She thought no one in the factory could tell, so she kept showing off in front of the employees.

Unexpectedly, someone recognized her today, and Li Shufen instantly felt embarrassed.

“You ignorant brat, how dare you spew nonsense here! If I don’t make you pay today, you won’t know the weight behind the name Li Shufen.” Saying this, Li Shufen picked up the phone to call her high-up relative.

Seeing this, Little Apple got very anxious.

If the company’s high-up came, Xu Ke would be in for a tough time today.

“You should leave; don’t get involved in this because of me.”

Little Apple didn’t want Xu Ke getting dragged into it; this was between Li Shufen and herself.

Xu Ke didn’t expect at such a moment, Little Apple would be thinking of him, which moved him greatly.

With Little Apple’s sentiment, he was determined to help resolve this issue today.

“Don’t worry, since I said I’d help you solve this problem, I naturally will live up to my word.”

Initially, he wasn’t planning to alert Red Star Group’s president this soon, but Xu Ke felt it was now necessary.

They’d meet sooner or later, so why not take advantage of this moment.

“Just wait a moment, I’ll make a call.” With that, Xu Ke took out his phone to dial Xu Hongxing.

Li Shufen arrogantly watched Xu Ke at that moment, thinking the young man was just putting on a show.

About five seconds later, the call connected, and a hearty male voice came over the line.

“Hello, this is Xu Hongxing, may I ask who you are?”

Not wanting to play games with the other side, Xu Ke straightforwardly introduced himself.

“Hello, President Xu. I’m Xu Ke from the Xu Group; I reckon you’ve heard my name. I came this time intending to discuss cooperation with your company, but unexpectedly encountered some challenging issues in your company park.”

Xu Ke’s words made Xu Hongxing’s mind buzz.

How could he not know Xu Ke’s famous name? Recently, the internet had been flooded with news about him.

Even more unexpected was Xu Ke coming to their company.

Of course, Xu Hongxing remembered the kindness of old man Xu to him in the past, he just didn’t understand why Xu Ke would suddenly visit his company.
