Chapter 1709: Face-Slapping Live

But now none of that matters; what matters is that Xu Ke has come in person.

Although their company currently does not lack partnerships, collaborating with a giant like Xu Group certainly offers many benefits.

Moreover, what frightens Xu Hongxing more is that as soon as Xu Ke arrived at his company, he ran into a problem.

And from Xu Ke’s tone, it seems this is not a good matter.

It’s important to remember they haven’t met yet, and Xu Hongxing definitely doesn’t want to offend this man.

He knows that if Xu Group stomps its foot in Beijing, his company will tremble.

He wants to see exactly which short-sighted fool dared to provoke Xu Ke here.

According to online information, Xu Ke seems not to be the kind of arrogant person.

Besides, once Xu Ke took the stage, he actively engaged in charity, having donated to several orphanages already.

Xu Hongxing doesn’t believe such a person would bully anyone upon arrival at his company.

“Mr. Xu, please tell me where you are now; I’ll come over immediately.”

Xu Hongxing is anxious now, wishing he had wings to fly straight to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke glanced around; he wasn’t familiar with this place, and it was his first time there.

“Little Apple, where are we?”

Then, Little Apple reported an address to him.

After receiving the address, Xu Hongxing immediately hung up the phone.

Li Shufen, standing nearby, was still very arrogant, as her senior executive relative had already arrived.

“Uncle, that’s him. Not only did he not listen to me, but he also insulted me everywhere.”

Xu Ke looked up and suddenly found a middle-aged man had appeared in front of him at some point.

The middle-aged man’s head had only a few hairs left, looking like a Mediterranean bald spot.

The middle-aged man’s face had two slabs of fat; whenever he spoke, his whole face clapped noisily, looking very disgusting.

The middle-aged man sized Xu Ke up and down; from his impression, the company didn’t seem to have an employee like this.

“Kid, who the hell are you? How dare you act arrogant in our company! Do you know who I am? I’m the logistics head of Red Star Group. I advise you to apologize to my niece, or I won’t let you leave here unscathed.”

Li Shufen had long relied on this middle-aged man to do as she pleased in the company, bullying countless people.

Little Apple was likely just one victim, not knowing how many people Li Shufen had pushed out.

Xu Ke didn’t take this middle-aged man seriously at all.

In his eyes, this middle-aged man was as worthless as trash.

If he wished, he could make this man disappear anytime.

But Xu Ke didn’t want to do that, as it would be too easy on both of them.

“Don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty; it’s not the time to talk yet. I believe you’ll find it hard to laugh in a while.”

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Li Shufen laughed out like a pig.

“Uncle, did you hear him threatening us? This guy tried to flaunt in front of me and got slapped in the face; now he’s angry and became like this.”

The middle-aged man became interested after hearing Li Shufen’s words.

“Oh, tell me how this punk was flaunting? I want to see him flaunt in front of me now.”

“Uncle, this punk pretended to call our chairman in front of me, acting very familiar. According to him, our chairman is coming over soon.”

As soon as Li Shufen finished speaking, the middle-aged man laughed aloud.

The middle-aged man believed he had seen all kinds of people over the years, having dealt with many arrogant punks like Xu Ke.

He, Zhang Defa, has worked at Red Star Group for over a decade and fought hard to reach his current position.

Over the years, he has edged out many competitors.

And he has also leveraged his job for personal gain, bringing his relatives into Red Star Group.

Li Shufen is essentially his distant niece, getting in contact through Zhang Defa.

Zhang Defa happened to have a vacancy, so he used his connections to get her in.

When Li Shufen first joined the company, she was well-behaved, but over time, she found herself incompetent and socially inept.

Over time, her resentment grew.

Seeing her coworkers earning more, her jealousy inflated.

Ultimately, she approached Zhang Defa to leverage company policies for personal benefits.

Additionally, she funneled part of her earnings to Zhang Defa, achieving mutual benefits.

“Kid, I wonder how you’ll face this today. If our chairman doesn’t arrive in five minutes, you won’t leave here alive. There isn’t anyone I’m afraid of in this establishment, not even if the chairman himself arrives. I wouldn’t even blink.”

Zhang Defa believed Xu Ke was bragging, so he bragged alongside.

Xu Ke looked at Zhang Defa, unsure what to say.

“Little Apple, look at this kind of person, already at the end of their rope, yet still bragging here. How Xu Hongxing appointed him as a logistics manager, I’ll never know.”

Little Apple was terrified, being just an ordinary person, having never encountered such grand scenes.

Especially with Zhang Defa, she was extremely frightened.

Clearly, this Zhang Defa wasn’t kind to employees like them as a rule.

“Before this escalates, hurry and leave. If Zhang Defa gets ruthless later, he won’t let you off easily.” Saying this, Little Apple kept pulling Xu Ke outside.

Seeing such a naive girl, Xu Ke chuckled and shook his head.

“My dear Little Apple, take it easy, okay? Don’t tell me you think I’m just bragging?”

Little Apple didn’t reply to Xu Ke’s words, clearly telling him through silence.

Little Apple’s disbelief came as no surprise to Xu Ke, knowing anyone wouldn’t believe a stranger without proof.

Moreover, this stranger claimed to be the CEO of a publicly-listed group, a claim that could make others laugh out loud.

Nonetheless, Xu Ke, standing tall and undeterred, was waiting for Xu Hongxing to arrive.

He wanted to see how Zhang Defa and Li Shufen would face this.

Five minutes quickly passed, yet no one came at the door.

By then, Zhang Defa’s patience was exhausted, intending to act against Xu Ke immediately.

“Kid, I knew you were bluffing. Your time is up; your death sentence has arrived.”

Before Zhang Defa could finish his words, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from outside.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Zhang Defa’s face suddenly turned pale.

Because this middle-aged man was none other than Xu Hongxing, the chairman of Red Star Group.
