Chapter 1612: Slap in the Face
Everyone present watched as Xu Ke escorted the old lady out, and by now, Zhang Shuai’s face had turned even uglier than a pig’s liver.
Xu Ke did this without considering him at all, essentially ignoring his existence.
"You brat, just you wait! Later, I will make you pay, and you will kneel on the ground calling me grandpa."
Zhang Shuai was already somewhat hysterical at this point, never having been so disrespected by anyone before.
Xu Ke was already too lazy to deal with Zhang Shuai by then. He simply and gently placed his hand on the shoulder of the girl from before.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xu Ke said with a smile.
The girl had long suspected that Xu Ke’s identity was unusual. Seeing Xu Ke actually greet her, she immediately became nervous.
"I’m fine." The girl’s voice was very soft, seemingly afraid at the moment.
"Miss, don’t be afraid. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just find you quite unique and would like to make friends with you."
Xu Ke was actually quite sincere; he especially appreciated such a girl.
He wanted to recruit this girl into his company, as his company needed such talent.
"My name is Wang Huan, nice to meet you."
Saying that, Wang Huan carefully extended her hand towards Xu Ke.
Xu Ke gently shook hands with Wang Huan, then pulled her aside.
"There might be some conflict here later, so it would be better for you all to stand aside."
Just at that moment, two sports cars suddenly sped in.
To the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Shuai’s father got out of the car directly.
It had to be said, Zhang Shuai’s father looked quite burly, evidently not an easy person to deal with in his youth.
Seeing his father arrive, Zhang Shuai immediately gained confidence.
"Dad, it’s this brat, he mocked me just now and said our Phoenix Group is a shoddy company."
After hearing Zhang Shuai’s words, Zhang Defa’s face grew even more sullen.
In front of so many people, Xu Ke dared to insult his company like this.
Although his company was indeed just a small fourth-rate company, it still made a considerable amount of revenue annually.
This wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to, certainly not some unknown brat like Xu Ke.
Zhang Defa arrogantly approached Xu Ke with his men, not even considering Xu Ke.
"Brat, do you know who we fear on this Beijing turf? If you know what’s good for you, kneel and kowtow a few times to my son, call him grandpa, and let it be. Otherwise, you won’t walk out of here today."
Zhang Defa’s voice was so loud that almost all of the recruiters at the scene turned their attention here.
Director Xiao had long noticed the situation here, but Murong Hai kept blocking him from intervening.
Moreover, given Xu Ke’s identity, very few in Beijing dared to cross him.
"You must be Zhang Defa, the chairman of Phoenix Group. I’ve heard about you; you tinkered with some coal mines in the past, made some money, and opened a company which did quite well."
Xu Ke revealed all of Zhang Defa’s past deeds in one breath, which left Zhao Defa extremely shocked.
Because few in Beijing knew about these things, he had hardly mentioned them to outsiders.
"Who exactly are you?" Zhang Defa immediately began to suspect Xu Ke’s identity.
"I’m just an ordinary person. I remember your son just said that even if the president of the Xu Group came, he wouldn’t be afraid."
"It was me who said it, that the Xu Group president is nothing in front of my dad."
Listening to Zhang Shuai say this, Zhang Defa’s face changed.
He directly slapped Zhang Shuai across the face and scolded him loudly.
"Brat, do you know what you’re saying? This is the Xu Group’s recruitment event, and the Xu president might even be here. If he hears our whole family, we’re done for."
Xu Ke hadn’t expected Zhang Defa’s attitude to change so quickly. But am I really that ruthless?
But Xu Ke quickly understood, Zhang Defa was probably referring to his grandfather.
His grandfather was quite influential back in the day, causing many companies to be genuinely afraid upon seeing him.
Zhang Shuai was a bit dumbfounded; he didn’t expect his father to hit him here.
"Am I still your son? You’re actually siding with an outsider to hit me. That Xu Group is just garbage, how can it compare to our company?"
Zhang Shuai, having grown up in Beijing, didn’t even know about the Xu Group.
At this moment, Zhang Defa wished he could just abandon this brat here; did he even know what he was saying?
Xu Ke couldn’t hold back any longer. Today’s already important task being disrupted by these guys; who knows how much longer it would take to finish recruiting.
"Enough, all of you. Causing trouble on our Xu Group’s turf and being disrespectful, this won’t end easily. Phoenix Group, is it? I’ll have someone acquire your company tomorrow. You all don’t need to stay in Beijing anymore; go back to wherever you came from."
Zhang Shuai, at this point, was already blinded by anger. Hearing Xu Ke’s words, he retorted without thinking.
"I think you must be out of your mind, boasting at a time like this."
By now, Zhang Defa roughly guessed Xu Ke’s identity, daring to say such words in front of so many people, only the president of Xu Group would dare.
At this moment, Zhang Defa’s face turned ashen, deeply regretting why he fathered such a son.
Zhang Defa gave Zhang Shuai another slap, and pulled him down to kneel.
"Mr. Xu, I didn’t recognize you, please forgive us. I will definitely discipline this unfilial son severely."
Everyone present couldn’t believe it at that moment, that the Phoenix Group’s president would kneel to a young man.
Moreover, from Zhang Defa’s words, people realized Xu Ke seemed to be the president of Xu Group.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze towards Xu Ke was filled with awe, and even a bit of fear.
Earlier, both Wang Huan and Zhao Lei were dumbfounded, never expecting that the person who had spoken to them was actually the president of Xu Group.
This man clearly looked about their age, yet he turned out to be the president of Xu Group.
Xu Ke didn’t want to waste much time; he just wanted the venue to return to order as soon as possible.
"Enough talking, today’s matters end here. Tomorrow I’ll have someone directly acquire your company. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a fair price." After saying that, Xu Ke had Murong Hai drive these people out.
