Chapter 1588: Personal Secretary
Xiao Keyi didn’t notice Xu Ke’s arrival at all, as she was engrossed in unpacking the items she had just bought that afternoon.
"Keyi, what did you buy this time?"
Xu Hua struggled to push the boxes aside, barely managing to get near Xiao Keyi.
"Ah, Xu Ke, when did you come by?"
Xiao Keyi quickly hid the things in her hands behind her back, looking nervous and her face turning bright red.
"What’s up? I just came to check on you. What are you holding, and why won’t you let me see?" Xu Ke looked at Xiao Keyi, bemused, unsure of what she was up to.
"Nothing, nothing. It’s just a piece of clothing. Turn around quickly."
Xiao Keyi’s face was like a rosy apple, looking incredibly cute and captivating.
No matter how insensitive Xu Ke might be, at this moment he understood.
"Keyi, don’t hide what you bought; let me see it." As he spoke, Xu Ke playfully lunged towards Xiao Keyi.
Xiao Keyi didn’t react in time and was knocked onto the bed by Xu Ke.
At this moment, his mind was already blank; he had no idea what happened next.
After the two were soaked with sweat, Xiao Keyi finally realized what a ridiculous thing had happened.
She quickly buried her face in the blanket, hammering Xu Ke’s chest with her fists.
"You scoundrel, first thing you do when you see me is something naughty."
At this moment, Xu Ke was looking at Xiao Keyi with gentle eyes. Having not seen her for several days, Xu Ke felt she was becoming prettier.
"Keyi, what are you made of? How can you be so beautiful? Meeting you is truly a blessing from my previous life."
Xu Ke’s tone was tender, and Xiao Keyi’s heart felt ticklish upon hearing it.
"You only know how to sweet-talk. You just bullied me, but I won’t forget that so easily."
Xiao Keyi’s words left Xu Ke a little embarrassed; wasn’t it because he couldn’t help himself just now after seeing Xiao Keyi?
"Who asked you to look so pretty and wear such clothes in front of me?"
Recalling what had happened earlier made Xu Ke feel like his nose was about to bleed.
No wonder Xiao Keyi had been hiding it; she actually bought something like that.
Xiao Keyi also felt frustrated. Originally, she bought that piece of clothing thinking she would have a chance to wear it for Xu Ke later.
But unexpectedly, this guy suddenly rushed in, leaving her completely unprepared.
After a while, the two finally settled down.
"Keyi, it’s really been tough for you during this time. But now I have to deal with the company’s affairs, so I might not have much time to meet you." Xu Ke said with a face full of guilt.
Ever since Xiao Keyi followed him to the capital city, he hadn’t spent much time with her.
"Don’t say that. You’ve just taken over the company, so there must be a lot to handle. I’m fine on my own. There are many places in the capital I haven’t visited yet. Besides, isn’t your mother at home? I can find her if I get bored."
Mentioning his mother reminded Xu Ke of something earlier.
He wanted Xiao Keyi to work at Xu Group with him, so they could accompany each other.
And they’d get to see each other every day; just thinking about it seemed nice.
"Keyi, I’d like you to work at the company as my personal secretary. This way, we can be together every day and won’t be troubled by these things. I wonder if you’re willing?"
Xu Ke looked at Xiao Keyi with a gentle expression, making it clear that his words were sincere.
Xiao Keyi was stunned, unable to react for a while; she had never expected Xu Ke would ask her to work at the company.
After all, she had never been involved with anything related to companies, and her father had never let her deal with such matters.
He always said girls should just be happy, and men could handle the bothersome company stuff.
"Actually, I want to, but I don’t have any experience, and I’m afraid I’ll mess things up."
Xiao Keyi was eager to be with Xu Ke every day, but she also feared she’d cause trouble if she joined. She’d rather not go than make things difficult for Xu Ke.
Listening to Xiao Keyi’s concern, Xu Ke smiled gently.
"Silly girl, don’t worry about these things. I’m calling you to the company just to keep you occupied, not handing you important tasks. Plus, everything is learned gradually, right? You might not be familiar now, but you’ll get used to it later."
Xu Ke’s words made sense, and Xiao Keyi felt somewhat confident.
She hadn’t been exposed to company matters before, but if Xu Ke was asking her now, there was nothing to fear.
"Since you’ve said so, I’ll go with you." Thinking about being with Xu Ke every day made Xiao Keyi quite happy.
Finally, this matter was settled with Xiao Keyi becoming Xu Ke’s personal secretary.
Since Xu Ke was introduced, Xu Lao directly started taking action.
Xu Lao had been in the scene for years, and he had his connections.
Through his network, he quickly spread the news about Xu Ke becoming the new president of Xu Group.
Initially, he planned to send out invites, but later decided against it.
Xu Lao instead released the information that Xu Ke was the new president and announced there would be a celebration banquet at Cuihua Restaurant in the capital in two days. Anyone wishing to come and congratulate was welcome.
His message didn’t specify anyone in particular; instead, it was very general.
Once this was announced, it caused a tremendous stir domestically.
Xu Group is a gigantic force domestically and a significant player globally.
The president of Xu Group signifies the pinnacle of power; befriending such a person is beneficial with no downsides.
Many companies that previously didn’t have partnerships with Xu Group now pondered making connections.
If they could take this opportunity to establish ties with Xu Group, their companies would surely prosper.
And those companies that already collaborated with Xu Group were eager to attend the banquet.
This was a crucial step to fostering a good relationship with Xu Ke; people like them wouldn’t miss it.
