Chapter 1628: Little Sisters
"Girlfriend!"
Xu Ke’s head was filled with big question marks at this moment.
What on earth is going on? I just didn’t come home for a day! When did Xiao Keyi meet another girl?
"Keyi, what’s the deal with this girlfriend of yours? How come I didn’t know you had other friends in the capital too."
"I just met her recently. Speaking of which, you probably know her as well. She was at the banquet today, and she came back with Grandpa."
Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s explanation, the image of Dongfang Yanran immediately popped into Xu Ke’s mind.
If she went back with Old Master Xue, then it must be Dongfang Yanran and Dongfang Shuo.
However, Xu Ke couldn’t believe that in such a short time, Dongfang Yanran and Xiao Keyi could become good friends.
After all, this all seemed so surreal, even the main character here could hardly believe it.
"The girlfriend you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be Dongfang Yanran, right?" Xu Ke asked tentatively.
"Yes, it’s Dongfang Yanran. I told you that you would definitely know her. She even mentioned you today, saying that you are really funny and humorous."
Mentioning Dongfang Yanran, Xiao Keyi seemed very happy. It looked like the two were getting along quite well, not as terrifying as Xu Ke had imagined.
Could it be that Xiao Keyi didn’t know what happened at the banquet?
Anyway, that’s what Xu Ke thought. Otherwise, these two girls couldn’t possibly have such a good relationship.
"Ah, since you’re with her, I’m relieved. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come home tonight, so just rest well at home."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing seemed amiss at home for now; at least the rear was temporarily secure.
As for what might happen later, that’s not something Xu Ke could worry about.
Xu Ke had never expected that Xiao Keyi would end up getting along with Dongfang Yanran.
He suddenly felt that the friendship between girls was indeed very strange, so strange that a guy like him couldn’t possibly understand it.
Shaking his head, Xu Ke decided not to think about these things anymore.
He always had a plan in mind, which was to build a professional network department within the company.
Now that he temporarily had nothing on his hands, he needed to put this plan into action as soon as possible.
At a recruitment fair, he met Wang Huan and Zhao Lei. He wanted to bring both of them into the new department.
As for the head of this department, Xu Ke intended to have Dabing take the role.
Although he knew it might be somewhat challenging, Xu Ke still wanted to give it a try.
Through the incident with Wang Lishan, Xu Ke had realized the importance of networking in this world.
He could say that a successful listed company must not lag in this aspect of networking.
And apparently, the Xu Group did not have a significant advantage in this area, or even, they lacked their own professional department.
Old Master Xu wouldn’t have minded these things, so it was up to him, the new CEO, to accomplish them now.
When it comes to computers, Xu Ke was not very familiar, and in some respects, he was a novice.
Such issues certainly require consulting professionals, and that person was undoubtedly Dabing.
After all, in Xu Ke’s impression, he had never seen anyone more skilled than Dabing.
When it came to computers, Dabing could be described as a god, an unbeatable god.
Thinking about this, Xu Ke immediately called Dabing.
After about five seconds, the call was connected, and Dabing’s hearty voice came through.
"Xu Ke, at this time, what made you think of calling me again? Is there some problem you can’t solve?"
Upon hearing Dabing’s voice, Xu Ke couldn’t help but laugh.
"What are you saying, can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong? After all, we’ve been friends for so many years. Don’t be so distant."
"Oh, oh, oh! That doesn’t sound like you. Did becoming a CEO make you more hesitant?"
As they talked, the atmosphere between them became quite relaxed.
Through a brief exchange, Xu Ke learned that Dabing also had nothing important going on recently.
He had attended a hacker conference not long ago and even won the championship.
So, for the rest of this year, he had no other goals, just focusing on honing his technical skills.
Xu Ke immediately realized this was a rare opportunity.
On one hand, he urgently needed Dabing; on the other hand, Dabing currently had nothing pressing going on.
So, he immediately shared his thoughts with Dabing.
"Dabing, as you know, networking is present in every corner of the world today. We are a listed company, but our networking capabilities are quite weak. I want to establish a dedicated computer department and need a leader, so I thought of bringing you on board. We’ve been friends for years—I trust your character and your skills. Once you join this department, you have the freedom to arrange everything. As for the salary, you can set it."
With Dabing, Xu Ke was completely open.
As Dabing put it, they were brothers for years, even if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, their bond hadn’t changed a bit.
After hearing Xu Ke’s words, Dabing was slightly surprised.
The Xu Group, as a leading enterprise, was something Dabing knew very well.
Although he excelled in the field of computers, in the end, he was just a hacker.
As long as one was a hacker, they could never be presentable. That’s why Dabing always stayed home, unwilling to socialize.
But what Xu Ke was doing now was giving him a chance at rebirth.
If he could join the Xu Group, he would finally have a legitimate identity.
However, Dabing was a bit worried. Given his unique status, if someone with ill intentions discovered it, would it cause trouble for Xu Ke?
"Xu Ke, you’re well aware of my identity. If I join your company and cause unnecessary trouble, I’d feel tremendously guilty."
These words from Dabing warmed Xu Ke’s heart.
No matter when, Dabing always considered Xu Ke first, putting himself second.
The reason Xu Ke thought of Dabing was to give his brother a chance to redeem himself.
If he worked at his company, his identity could finally be legitimate.
He wouldn’t have to live in the shadows anymore, he could also walk in the sunlight.
