Chapter 1592: Slap in the Face
"Who do you think you are? You think you’re the CEO of Xu Group?" The man in the suit didn’t think Xu Ke could stir up any trouble; otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath on him for so long.
"You guessed right, I am the CEO of Xu Group," Xu Ke said coldly.
As soon as he said that, everyone present burst into laughter.
Everyone was now certain that Xu Ke must have escaped from some mental hospital.
Only an idiot would say such nonsense in front of so many people.
Why doesn’t he claim to be the Secretary-General of the United Nations? Why doesn’t he claim to be Jesus?
The scene was highly satisfying for the man in the suit, as he thought Xu Ke was already in a difficult situation and was waiting to see this punk make a fool of himself.
Daring to embarrass him on his turf, there’s no way Xu Ke was going to leave easily today.
Xu Ke shook his head helplessly; in today’s society, no one believes the truth anymore.
He had said more than once that he was from Xu Group, yet not a single person believed him.
"Keyi, what should I do? Not a single person believes what I say," he said.
Xiao Keyi gave Xu Ke a look as if he were an idiot, as if saying this guy was going too far with his act.
"Can’t you just calm down a bit? It’s rare for us to come out, must you put on such a big show? This is your mall, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?"
Even though Xiao Keyi said that, Xu Ke never felt it was inappropriate.
From the beginning to the end, he never actively started anything; it was all the suited man who relied on his position to be aggressive.
From start to finish, he hadn’t even looked at them directly once, utterly disrespectful!
"You’ve seen what’s happening; it’s not like I wanted to do this, they forced it," Xu Ke said.
Xiao Keyi didn’t know what to say anymore. Xu Ke had made the situation as it was. It seemed it wouldn’t end easily without a resolution.
"Alright, alright, I won’t bother with you anymore as long as you don’t make things too big." Saying this, Xiao Keyi ran over to Wang Cuixia.
Wang Cuixia was watching the spectacle from the side, also very angry at the suited man’s behavior.
He also wanted to see how his son would deal with this guy to make everyone understand that people as exaggerated as the suited man wouldn’t have a good ending.
As time went by, the suited man’s patience gradually wore thin.
At the same time, security arrived on the scene. The suited man immediately began directing the guards to expel Xu Ke and the others.
"Security, come quickly, kick these lunatics out of the mall. How can our place be haunted by people from an asylum?"
Hearing the suited man’s words, several security guards came over to handle Xu Ke.
But when they saw Xu Ke, they were immediately stupefied.
Turns out, these few had always been with Murong Hai, and since Murong Hai joined Xu Ke, they were all transferred to Xu Group.
Although they were just security guards, the benefits and treatments at Xu Group were indeed good.
Also, the daily work wasn’t particularly tiring, so they all were very grateful to Xu Ke.
Especially since these people had seen Xu Ke with their own eyes before; once they saw him this time, they immediately recognized him.
"Mr. Xu, what brings you here? Our boss often mentions you, instructing us to show the utmost respect when we encounter you."
The guards’ words stunned everyone present. At this point, the suited man’s expression changed subtly.
Xu Ke didn’t expect the guards here to recognize him either. Upon closer inspection, he immediately recalled these people were Murong Hai’s subordinates.
"So Murong Hai placed you here. It seems Murong Hai really needs guidance on managing his subordinates these days."
"You guys can’t even tell good from bad people; should I consider reminding Murong Hai?"
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the two guards immediately became fearful.
They owed everything to Xu Ke.
If today’s incident caused Xu Ke to think poorly of Murong Hai, they would be in serious trouble.
"Mr. Xu, we apologize. We just arrived at this mall and don’t fully understand the situation. But rest assured, we won’t miss a good person, nor spare any wrongdoer."
The guards’ words were quite clear — whatever happens next is entirely up to Xu Ke.
By now even a fool could see that Xu Ke was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
Most people present also realized that Xu Ke was likely playing the fool to catch the tiger.
Perhaps what he said earlier was all true; it’s just that no one believed him at the time.
The suited man’s forehead was already covered in sweat, and from the guards’ attitude toward Xu Ke, he realized this man’s identity was definitely not simple.
Although these two guards were just the most grassroots employees, they were directly sent down from headquarters.
And the suited man also heard that these security guards had already gotten formal status within Xu Group. This was something he envied deeply after working at Xu Group for two years.
Even though he barely managed to get into Xu Group back then, after two years, he was still just a temp.
Yet despite this, he climbed to a store manager position. If he got permanent status, his future would be limitless.
Now even Xu Group’s official employees showed such respect to Xu Ke, the suited man instantly had a sense of foreboding.
Could it be that what Xu Ke said earlier was true and he really was the CEO of Xu Group?
The Trend Group recently appointed a new CEO, which the suited man had heard about.
But given his level, he would never get to see the CEO, so he hadn’t paid it any mind.
Who would have thought he would meet the CEO here today, and his attitude just now was like that.
Thinking about it, the suited man felt his heart go cold. He didn’t know what he had done to have openly contradicted Xu Ke."
The suited man already anticipated his fate and was now utterly terrified.
"Mr. Xu, I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness, please forgive me." Saying this, the suited man plopped down on his knees in public.
The onlookers were shocked, knowing the suited man was a manager here, and his status was quite high.
