Supreme Heir Son-in-law

In this company, most of the senior executives’ income is tied to their own performance.

Or else to the company’s overall revenue that year and its share price.

With Xu Ke making such an increase now, it meant that the salaries of all the executives present would go up by at least 500,000 every year.

Even though at their level, 500,000 was just a small sum.

But these were all increases for nothing; the benefits they had enjoyed before were not only not being canceled, they would very likely rise along with the tide.

This was the best moment for them to take a stand; only by demonstrating their loyalty would this group of executives feel at ease.

After that, the executives began giving impassioned speeches one after another.

Most of what they talked about were the problems currently inside the company and the extent of their impact.

After the two-hour meeting, Xu Ke felt that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.

The people in those departments who had been bought off by Wang Lishan and Zhang San were, he could say, the greatest threat to the company.

Once they acted in concert, the company’s operations would collapse in an instant.

This was the Headquarters; once Headquarters’ operations collapsed, the shock would spread across the entire country and even to other parts of the world.

Xu Group had long since gone public and was already one of the Fortune Global 500.

If a behemoth like this ran into any problems, the butterfly effect it triggered would be like a tsunami.

All in all, Xu Ke was quite satisfied with the outcome of this meeting.

In particular, he had learned a lot this time following the old Master Xu; he felt that even without the old man by his side in the future, he would be able to handle matters with ease and wouldn’t be as clueless as before.

After the meeting, the executives of the various departments all returned to their posts.

On Xu Ke’s side, he had already begun to move against Wang Lishan; no matter what, this old fox had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

All of the company’s problems had their origin in him; as long as he was around, the company could forget about having a single peaceful day.

At the same time, word had already reached Wang Lishan.

Xu Ke and the old Master Xu were inspecting the company, something they had never imagined.

But as far as they were concerned, they were already fearless at this point.

After all, there were already so many people in the company under their control; as long as he gave the order, the company would immediately fall into paralysis.

Right now, Wang Lishan was just waiting for the tender result on Zhang San’s side; as soon as that tender was in hand, he would strike at once.

At this moment, Wang Lishan couldn’t even remember how many years he had been waiting. He couldn’t wait any longer; he wanted the Wang Family to stand in glory once again. He wanted to be remembered in the capital forever.

On Zhang San’s side, he had been busy these two days in the North Suburb with the bidding.

Although the design drawings he had ordered from the design department were slow to arrive, this did not affect the overall progress of the tender.

After all, none of the competitors present dared to underestimate Xu Group; even if they didn’t yet have the design drawings in hand, these companies were still nowhere near their match.

"Director, what if their bids go over our budget later—what do we do then?"

This time, Zhang San had brought along his personal secretary; calling her his personal secretary, in fact she was the little mistress he kept on the side.

"A Duo, relax this time. I’ve already slipped the organizer a red envelope in advance. We’re just going through the motions here. Barring any surprises, this tender is still ours."

Zhang San had always handled things with watertight thoroughness; otherwise he couldn’t possibly have sat in the position of Finance Director for so many years.

This little mistress by his side, A Duo, was someone he’d discovered by chance three years ago.

Back then, A Duo was just a newbie who had just joined the company; Zhang San used a few tricks and got her into his bed.

From then on, A Duo followed Zhang San with total devotion.

Zhang San treated A Duo quite well too, promoting her step by step until she became his personal secretary.

But their relationship could never be brought into the open; Zhang San had always kept these activities strictly behind the scenes.

While things on Zhang San’s side were in full swing, Murong Hai had already disappeared from the company.

Bai Lan had been wondering why Murong Hai suddenly vanished, until she received a message from him saying something had come up unexpectedly and he’d be back in a couple of days.

In reality, Murong Hai had long since been sent by Xu Ke to investigate Zhang San, and by now he had basically dug up most of Zhang San’s dealings.

They were just waiting for this old fox to return to the company, so they could catch him in one net.

Sure enough, things played out just as Zhang San had expected; this tender went off unusually smoothly.

Although many companies raised objections, the votes were counted in public and there was nothing they could do.

In the end, Xu Group unsurprisingly took the North Suburb project.

The faces of the other companies were all very ugly; they had prepared for this tender for a long time.

Only for Xu Group to take it so easily in the end. For these small companies, it was practically cutting off their way to survive.

But this was exactly one of Zhang San’s schemes; with such a sweet deal in front of him, how could he not go for it?

On this single deal, he could pocket at least tens of millions. Just last month, he had been eyeing a Bugatti Veyron and was considering whether to buy it outright when this month ended.

"Director, you’re incredible. Following you back then was the wisest decision I ever made."

A Duo was practically over the moon now, because Zhang San had already promised that as long as this tender was secured smoothly, he would reward her with five million.

With that five million, A Duo could live it up for quite a while. He had even planned that as soon as the money hit his account, he’d head straight to Korea for plastic surgery.

Even though he was already very pretty now, A Duo still wasn’t satisfied with his looks.

If he wanted to keep himself tied to Zhang San for the long haul, he had to maintain enough allure.

After wrapping up everything there, Zhang San headed straight back to the company.

By then, the old Master Xu had long since left, and Xu Ke was sitting alone in the CEO’s office, waiting for the key figures to arrive.

Before coming back, Zhang San had already called and informed Wang Lishan.

This was exactly the moment Wang Lishan had been waiting for; he and Zhang San arrived at the company almost on the same day.

Xu Ke very quickly received word from Murong Hai, and he was fully prepared on his side as well.

As soon as Zhang San returned to the company, he went straight to Finance and began cooking the books.

Only if he made the false accounts flawless could they make their move in a fair and aboveboard manner this time.
