Chapter 1543: Time to Show Your Skills
Cuihua, you did a great job with this matter. I’ve had enough of the old foxes on the board. It’s time they paid the price for the years they’ve been getting away with it.
But with your current position, even if I give you authority, there won’t be many people from below who will be convinced.
This matter needs to be coordinated with Xu Ke. He’s also about to start reorganizing the company, so you two can act together.
Speaking of Xu Ke, Mr. Xu is very satisfied with his performance during this period.
This grandson is simply the best gift heaven has given him.
He thought his company had no successor, but he didn’t expect Xu Ke to be so outstanding, young as he is, shouldering the responsibilities of the company’s president.
Mr. Xu recalls when he first became the company’s president; back then, he was already in his forties.
But now, Xu Ke is only in his twenties, much younger than he was at the time.
Upon hearing Mr. Xu involve Xu Ke in this matter, Wang Cuixia felt a slight sense of unease.
After all, Xu Ke has been busy with the company’s finances lately. Would taking on this too, exhaust him?
"Dad, Xu Ke has been busy auditing. Would making him handle this too put too much pressure on him? I can manage this alone without troubling him."
Wang Cuixia always thinks about her son.
In her eyes, Xu Ke is far more important than herself.
"Cuihua, you love Xu Ke too much. He’s not a kid anymore; if he can’t handle even this little pressure, how can he support the entire Xu Group?"
"Yes, my son cannot be worse than others. Xu Ke is still young and has a lot of potential. We need to push him while he’s young or he’ll become timid later."
Xu Hua’s words surprised Wang Cuixia, as he’s almost indifferent to his son’s education usually, yet in these crucial moments, he offered his opinions.
"Since you both insist, then let Xu Ke participate, but it must not affect the financial aspects of the company. I still suspect these old foxes will clean up the accounts before Xu Hua officially steps in."
Having worked in finance before, Wang Cuixia is familiar with its intricacies.
"Alright, let’s do as you say. No time to lose, go back and inform that brat to go to the company with you for the investigation."
Mr. Xu made it clear that he has delegated authority to Wang Cuixia.
This matter is entrusted to both him and Xu Ke to handle. Mr. Xu is determined this time to root out the board’s parasites completely.
The Xu Group can no longer allow them to run amok, Mr. Xu can no longer tolerate it.
After receiving approval, Wang Cuixia immediately returned home.
Xu Ke has spent countless days in the study. His scruffy beard suggests he hasn’t rested well for a long time.
Upon entering the room, Wang Cuixia saw her son in this state.
"Son, how did you end up like this? Working shouldn’t make you forget sleep and food, should it?"
Wang Cuixia’s heart aches seeing Xu Ke looking thinner than a few days ago.
Only now did Xu Ke react, looking at Wang Cuixia, unsure what to say.
"Mom, why are you back here? Did something happen, or is there any movement from the company?"
Xu Ke’s mind is filled with company matters, forcing himself to fully take over the company swiftly.
"Son, it seems you’ve gone silly reviewing books. Can you tell me how many days you’ve neglected proper sleep? Your body can’t withstand this."
Saying this, Wang Cuixia handed a mirror for Xu Ke to see himself.
Xu Ke looked at himself in the mirror.
The mirror reflected a scruffy, weary face, like a wildling from the mountains.
Xu Ke finally realized he hadn’t shaved or washed his face for days.
"Mom, it’s unexpected. I’ve been in the study. I forgot all about this."
"Child, can’t you care for your body while working for the company? Go freshen up; you’ll go to the company with me shortly."
"Why do we have to go to the company? I haven’t finished with the books yet."
Xu Ke is bewildered, not knowing his priorities.
"I won’t hide it anymore. As you guessed, the board couldn’t hold back the attack on Keyi. They were thwarted by bodyguards. I wanted to investigate the mastermind but couldn’t get results from the hitmen. I’m hoping to find new leads from the board."
Upon hearing Wang Cuixia’s words, Xu Ke suddenly became alert.
Xiao Keyi is significant to him; he won’t let anything happen to her.
"I didn’t expect my guess was right; these old foxes are impatient. I’ll utterly destroy anyone seeking to harm Keyi."
"Mom, let me clean up, then I’ll go with you to the company."
Saying so, Xu Ke rushed into the bathroom.
After a while, Xu Ke emerged from the bathroom, clean and tidy.
Seeing Xu Ke like this, Wang Cuixia smiled warmly.
"That’s how my son should look. Handsome, like I was back in the day."
Xu Ke, now, is utterly different; his former rugged face now replaced with a handsome one.
Xu Ke noticeably recovered his energy, appearing much more spirited than before.
"Mom, how should we proceed? Going to the company suddenly, will they accept me?"
Xu Ke reflected while in the bathroom, realizing without formal induction, the board wouldn’t easily accept him for investigation.
"Rest assured, I just spoke to your grandfather, and he’s agreed. The company should already know. Now we must investigate; everything else isn’t our concern."
