Chapter 1715: Everyday Affairs

Because Xu Ke has already experienced so much, he remains composed in the face of things now.

Perhaps in the past he would have felt upset over certain matters, but now he doesn’t.

As time has slowly passed, Xu Ke has gradually grown.

Although it’s been just over a month since he became the president, in this short period, Xu Ke feels he has undergone a transformation.

Previously, he would only consider problems from a one-sided perspective, but now he analyzes them from every angle.

Furthermore, whenever he encounters something, he dissects the entire cause and consequence of it.

He has now gotten used to finding answers from clues, and to seeking what he wants from the unknown.

Because Xu Ke knows that sometimes what the eyes see might not be the truth, and sometimes what the ears hear may not be real.

If you want to know the truth of everything, you need to investigate step by step.

After signing the contract with Xu Hongxing, Xu Ke planned to leave here.

Before leaving, he wanted to see how little Apple was doing.

After all, that girl is truly pitiful, and until now, Xu Ke still feels he can’t let go.

After inquiring, Xu Ke finally found the office where little Apple is now.

This office used to be Zhang Defa’s, but now it has become little Apple’s.

At this moment, little Apple had taken off her training clothes and changed into more regular attire.

This made her look more youthful and attractive, and Xu Ke could see how happy she appeared from her face.

“How are you feeling now, little Apple?” Xu Ke said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s voice, little Apple immediately stood up.

She was very familiar with Xu Ke’s voice, as he was the one who gave her everything she now had.

“Mr. Xu, how come you’re here? I thought you’d go back directly after signing the contract.”

Seeing Xu Ke, little Apple was very happy.

She thought they would never have any interaction again, but unexpectedly Xu Ke came to see her after everything.

“I was indeed planning to leave, but I still couldn’t stop worrying about you, so I came to check on you. How are you adapting to your job now?”

Little Apple had endless things to say about her current job.

She always thought senior company officials were busy with many concerns, possibly even more than grassroots workers like her.

But since she became the head of the logistics department, she realized her perception might have been incorrect.

Her role mainly involves managing daily supplies and various tools for the company.

Expenditures like this usually occur every two months, so most of the time the job is very leisurely.

Previously being busy was a habit, and now with sudden leisure, little Apple wasn’t quite used to it.

She feels as if she’s done something wrong, sitting anxiously in the office.

“Mr. Xu, I feel I am not suited for this job. I always thought senior company officials would be extremely busy, but now without anything to do at the company, I’m just sitting in the office. I feel like I’ve done something wrong and the eyes of the surrounding employees seem different from before. Clearly, my close sisters from before, since I became a director, seem increasingly afraid of me.” In speaking, little Apple suddenly began to cry.

Little Apple crying was completely unexpected for Xu Ke.

He didn’t expect the girl would encounter so many things just after taking this position.

Though in Xu Ke’s view, these were normal.

After all, little Apple wasn’t fully accustomed to this role yet.

And there are regulations in every company, with each position having its own responsibilities.

The logistics department works this way, with a major purchase happening every two months, making the logistics director’s role relatively relaxed.

As for little Apple’s friends, Xu Ke reckoned they were indeed scared.

Because little Apple had the same status as them before, but suddenly became their superior.

No matter how good the friends are, there’d be some emotional barriers.

Plus, little Apple mentioned before how she was so hardworking and had faced much jealousy.

Even before she got promoted, she was targeted by many, and now with the promotion, those people would be even more envious.

Though they don’t say it openly, Xu Ke knows behind the scenes they must be criticizing little Apple terribly.

Xu Ke has seen many like them, they are typical of those who say grapes are sour when they can’t reach them.

Lacking the capability, they begrudge others’ success. People like them are abundant in society.

“Little Apple, don’t worry. These are inevitable paths you have to go through. Think about it, when you encountered trouble, did those so-called friends ever come to help you?”

Listening to Xu Ke’s words, little Apple thought carefully. Ever since she was isolated by Li Shufen, no friends came to see her.

Initially, little Apple thought those friends were just busy, so she didn’t give it much thought. But after a week, still no one came to see her, which made little Apple realize the situation might not be as she imagined.

Moreover, when little Apple met those friends on the street, they always avoided her.

Even if little Apple called out to them from behind, they acted as if they hadn’t heard and just walked away.

“It seems since I was targeted, those friends never looked for me again. And they seem very afraid of me, hiding every time they see me.”

Little Apple is very pure-hearted, and it was hard for her to figure this out.

What little Apple said aligned quite closely with Xu Ke’s speculations, it seemed her surrounding friends were really like that.

At the same time, he truly sympathized with little Apple, for not being affected by these people’s actions despite the environment.

“Little Apple, keep your distance from these so-called friends in the future. If I may be frank, none of them are good people.”

Xu Ke hadn’t finished speaking when he saw a girl dressed in work clothes carefully walk in.

Xu Ke had never seen this girl before, but upon seeing her, little Apple’s face instantly showed a happy smile.

“Cuicui, why have you come?”

The girl named Cuicui, seeing little Apple, gave a joyful smile.

“Little Apple, I heard you became the head of the logistics department, so I came to see you. Didn’t expect you to be doing so well now.”

“Actually, I’m also very surprised to have reached this position. By the way, Cuicui, why were you avoiding me before? I called you several times, did you not hear?”

As soon as little Apple finished speaking, the girl named Cuicui’s face suddenly became extremely awkward.
