Chapter 1586: Stunned
Xu Ke was very hesitant at the moment, unsure whether to listen to the old man’s words.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want his father to go to work at the company, but he felt there were too many complications involved, especially with their identities, it would be particularly inconvenient in the company.
"Grandfather, maybe we should just forget about this. My dad is getting old, don’t trouble him so much. Besides, I’m the CEO of the company. Having him work under me feels really inappropriate."
After hearing Xu Ke’s words, the old man flicked Xu Ke’s head heavily.
"You brat, you’ve just become CEO, and you have so many concerns? When I was your age, I didn’t have as many issues. Stop dawdling here, Xu Hua is my son, I know him better than you do. Just arrange a position for him, not too low."
The old man thought for a while, then changed his mind.
"Forget it, don’t just randomly assign him a position. Instead, transfer 5% of the company’s shares to him, let him go straight to the board."
The old man’s words left Xu Ke utterly speechless.
As long as 5% of the shares are transferred to Xu Hua, he would become a board member.
Big and small matters in the company, Xu Hua would have the right to participate in decisions and must be present at every board meeting.
Xu Ke now understood why his grandfather insisted on having his father work at the company.
It seemed he really didn’t trust him, he wanted Xu Hua to help him out.
Although the old man himself had retired from the company, he still cared about every move the company made.
Now that he couldn’t change the old man’s mind, Xu Ke could only let him have his way.
As to how to interact well with Xu Hua in the company, that matter would have to be planned for the long run.
"Alright, grandfather, I’ll go find my dad. I’ll tell him your command, whether he complies or not is up to him." After saying this, Xu Ke left in a hurry without looking back.
He didn’t want to stay there another minute; who knew what other tricks his grandfather might have up his sleeve.
Watching Xu Ke’s hasty retreat, the old man smiled and shook his head.
This brat is just like he was at that age, only with more resilience.
To be honest, this time Xu Ke had also amazed the old man a bit. He hadn’t expected that in just a few days, Xu Ke would uproot Wang Lishan and those troublemakers.
Though the old foxes had been marked for action long before, ultimately, they had been left for Xu Ke to deal with.
Otherwise, did you think Wang Lishan and the others could have been so calmly flamboyant here all these years? It was left by the old man for Xu Ke to stand firm and establish authority in the company.
If you don’t do something upon entering the company, those under you won’t respect you.
If employees harbor resentment towards you, eventually the company will face turmoil.
Although Xu Ke was extremely unwilling in his heart, he still went to Xu Hua’s bedroom.
At this time, Wang Cuixia and Xu Hua were playing chess.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ke was somewhat surprised.
In his impression, his parents rarely sat together doing something so calmly.
Most of the time, besides arguing, they would just speak plainly to each other.
Seeing Xu Ke come in, Wang Cuixia immediately stopped her move.
"Son, come over quickly. Tell me what your grandfather told you? Now that you’ve just taken over the company, if you have any difficulties, you should tell us promptly."
Seeing Wang Cuixia care so much for him, Xu Ke felt very warm inside.
"Mom, Grandpa insists on sending a hero’s invitation, inviting those from high society. I couldn’t resist her; I could only let her do it."
After hearing Xu Ke’s words, Wang Cuixia smiled.
"You child, your grandfather is doing this completely for your benefit. He wants to take advantage of his still able body to help you build connections for the future. Once he’s truly bedridden, no longer able to go anywhere, even if he wants to help you, he won’t be able to."
Xu Ke actually understood this logic a long time ago, only he wanted to handle affairs in his own way.
But since his grandfather already had this idea, naturally, he couldn’t say much more.
Moreover, they were all for the better development of Xu Group; as long as it was for the good of the company, Xu Ke had no objections.
"Mom, I know all this, but there’s still one thing that makes me quite troubled." Saying this, Xu Ke glanced at Xu Hua.
At this time, Xu Hua also noticed that his son was secretly watching him.
"You brat, if you have something to say, just say it, don’t falter."
The one speaking was Xu Hua, who had already put down the things in his hands.
Looking at Xu Hua in front of him, Xu Ke knew that what was to come would come. In that case, it was better to say it straightforwardly, and then see how Xu Hua would choose?
Wang Cuixia also noticed something was indeed bothering Xu Ke; otherwise, her son wouldn’t be so conflicted.
"Son, just say whatever it is. No matter what it is, we’ll solve it together."
"Alright, since you care so much, I’ll say it. Actually, Grandpa wants my dad to work at the company; he wants me to transfer 5% of the shares to him. This way, he can join the board of directors and participate in all company matters in the future."
As soon as Xu Ke finished speaking, both Wang Cuixia and Xu Hua were dumbfounded.
They never imagined that the old man would do something like this.
The company was already handed over to the grandson, yet he insisted on having the son go.
Wang Cuixia also felt this was a bit inappropriate, considering the sensitive relationship between Xu Ke and Xu Hua; having them in the company might rather restrict both of them.
As for this decision by his father, Xu Hua didn’t have much resistance.
Ever since reconciling with the old man, he gradually understood his father’s intentions!
If it hadn’t been for the past incident, the old man would have planned to hand the company over to him.
Now that things have become like this, the old man thought of letting Xu Hua go to the company to gain some experience.
After all, the old man had repeatedly told Xu Hua, one must learn to grow old, live to grow old. At any time, learning can’t be stopped; people must continue to progress.
Xu Hua slowly understood his father’s intention in doing this, he wanted him to enter the company to assist Xu Ke. This way, the brat could avoid many detours and when he finds himself at a dead end, he can step in to help.
