Chapter 1667: Utter Helplessness
Xu Ke left the company’s own office with goods, originally planning to go straight home.
But unexpectedly, just as he arrived at the finance department, he suddenly saw Wang Cuixia busy at work inside.
Xu Ke hadn’t seen Wang Cuixia for a few days, to be honest, he did miss his mother a bit.
Although he always verbally expressed disdain for Wang Cuixia, only he knew that everything she did was for him.
Although Wang Cuixia can be quite annoying sometimes, after all, she is his mother, and Xu Ke deeply loves her in his heart.
Xu Ke originally intended to just take a look from the doorway, but unexpectedly, Xu Hua walked out from inside at that moment.
Seeing Xu Hua, Xu Ke was immediately dumbfounded.
Why is his father here too? Wasn’t there nothing happening at the board lately? Logically, he should be at home at this time.
Xu Hua was also a bit surprised to see Xu Ke, but he didn’t show much shock.
"You little brat finally come to see your mom, huh? Ever since you became the CEO, you’ve been putting on airs all the time. Your mom wants to see you, but you never have time. Are you planning on ignoring us after being CEO for a while?"
Xu Hua immediately launched into a tirade, leaving Xu Ke momentarily speechless.
After all, what Xu Hua said was true, and Xu Ke indeed hadn’t seen his mother for quite some time.
"Okay, okay, I know I have a problem. Didn’t I just come to see my mom? Do you have to be so excited? Anyway, since you came to the company, I’ve never seen you do a proper thing. It’s either me working or my mom working, but you’re nowhere to be seen. Should I tell Grandpa and let him see this?"
Xu Ke knew that although he had no way to deal with Xu Hua, his grandpa certainly could.
Sure enough, hearing about Xu Lao’s presence, Xu Hua’s expression immediately changed.
Honestly, no son isn’t afraid of his father, even someone as old as Xu Hua still harbors fear of Xu Lao in his heart.
"You brat, why are we bringing your grandpa into our conversation? I’m not the kind of person who shirks responsibilities; I have many things of my own to handle too."
Seeing Xu Hua like this, Xu Ke was already laughing internally.
It’s true that there’s always something that can counter another; in front of Xu Lao, Xu Hua wouldn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
"Alright, alright, I’m done talking nonsense with you. These days I’m not in the company, so make sure to keep things in order. I have some matters to deal with, and I’ll go in to see my mom first."
After speaking, Xu Ke turned and walked into the finance department.
At this time, Wang Cuixia had just finished all her work.
Xu Hua had come to find her earlier, intending to drag her out for a meal. But Wang Cuixia still had a lot of work to do, so she chased him away.
Upon seeing Xu Ke, Wang Cuixia’s face immediately lit up with excitement.
"Son, when did you get here, why didn’t you let me know in advance?"
Seeing Wang Cuixia so happy, a trace of guilt arose in Xu Ke’s heart.
His mother cared so much for him, yet as a son, he hadn’t seen her for several days.
"Mom, I’ve been busy with company stuff lately. I haven’t seen you for a few days, I’m really sorry."
"Listen to you, you’re now the CEO and have way more to do than I do. My finance department is quite idle now, as long as there are no major issues. I as a supervisor have less to worry about. But you must take care of yourself and don’t wear yourself out from work."
Of Wang Cuixia’s ten sentences, eight would be about Xu Ke, showing how high his position was in her heart.
"Mom, I get it, you also take care of yourself. I have to go out and handle some things these days, so I’ll trouble you to look after things at the company. I saw dad came to find you earlier, not sure what it was about."
To be honest, Xu Ke was quite concerned about Wang Cuixia and Xu Hua.
After all, they are his parents, and their relationship determines whether the three of them can live in harmony.
Speaking of Xu Hua, Wang Cuixia was already getting angry.
She had told him she was working overtime, yet he still came to bother her.
Her two-hour work got dragged into four hours.
"Don’t mention your dad. Whenever I see him now, I just want to punch him. I should’ve finished the company’s accounts in two hours, but this guy kept nagging in my ear. You know me, once someone starts gossiping next to me, I can’t focus on my work. I should’ve left earlier but got dragged until now. He still shamelessly wanted to ask me out for dinner just now, so I kicked him out."
After hearing Wang Cuixia’s words, Xu Ke finally understood.
No wonder his father’s expression was so nasty just now, turns out he got scolded by his mom.
But thinking about Xu Hua’s usual behavior, Xu Ke more or less understood.
His father must have been trying to get his mother’s attention and came up with these lousy ideas.
But since Wang Cuixia was working and particularly hated getting disturbed, she lost her temper at Xu Hua.
However, it was his father’s fault, and he truly deserved some reflection.
"Oh, I think you did the right thing. If dad bothers you again next time, feel free to kick his butt a couple of times. You didn’t know, he was planning to lecture me outside just now, but I shot back with just a couple of Grandpa’s words."
Mentioning this term, Wang Cuihua was full of helplessness.
It’s not that Xu Hua was so bad; it’s just that Xu Hua can be particularly clingy sometimes.
Ever since he returned to the company, Xu Hua would come to see her every few days.
That might be fine, but he’d always disturb her work every time he came.
After so much, even with the best temper, one would get annoyed by this guy.
Besides, Xu Hua could sit there all day doing nothing, while she still had work to get done.
With so many people in the finance department, what would the employees think of her if they saw it?
Xu Hua might not care about his reputation, but Wang Cuixia does.
She leads people, and without any dignity, who would trust her?
Wang Cuixia decided she wouldn’t let Xu Hua into her office, otherwise, who knows what drama he might cause.
