Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1447: Sushi Tastes Great

Xiao Zhen’s face was indifferent, but Xu Ke was more anxious now. Did that guy go looking for his daughter?

If Xu Ke took advantage of the situation, the R&D Department Director might die a hundred times and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Just at that moment, Xiao Zhen heard that annoying voice.

He turned his head and saw Xu Ke casually holding a cup of milk tea, looking harmless as if he was unaware of what had happened here.

"Uncle, the milk tea at your company is really good, you should invite me for more in the future. I’m simply in love with it. If you still need me to help you review documents, then invite me to have a cup of milk tea another day."

After finishing his sentence, Xu Ke pretended to be oblivious, placed the milk tea on the table, and looked at the R&D Department Director in surprise.

"Oh my, didn’t we meet this morning? How come I find you so familiar? Your face looks like you’re heading for disaster with that dark spot under your nose, though you’re not as good-looking as me. It seems disaster is fitting for you. Take care of yourself."

The R&D Department Director was so infuriated by these words that he fainted.

Everyone: "..."

Clearly, they just met in the morning, and you were almost about to get the chairman to fire the R&D Department Director. Now you’re pretending not to know, no wonder he’s angry.

Suddenly, everyone felt like Xu Ke was akin to a devil, desperately hoping the chairman could get rid of him. If not, they wouldn’t be able to survive on their salaries; this man is simply a devil. There’s already one R&D Department Director, if this continues, others will be treated the same way.

Suddenly feeling a chill down their spines.

Xiao Zhen was also uncomfortable: "Where did you run off to? There’s another pile of documents on the table. Aren’t you going to quickly review them for me? I’m teaching you what even a division president wouldn’t do, so what else could I possibly want you for? Hurry up and get back to reviewing those documents for me!"

Xu Ke, hearing these words, picked up the milk tea and looked gratefully at Xiao Zhen’s assistant, as if seeing a living ancestor.

Somewhat amused: "Why isn’t my little shadow following me? If you’re not with me, I might lose my mood, and if I’m not in the mood, I’ll naturally run off. If I’m gone, the chairman might fire you. This job didn’t come easy for you, so maybe you should stick with me. Oh, I didn’t grab a pastry earlier, could you get it for me from that window?"

The assistant initially had a favorable impression of Xu Ke, at least he helped them out. But hearing this, they rolled their eyes and could only reluctantly go to get the pastry. It’s better if this troublemaker doesn’t come to the company again; not only does their presence bring bad luck to themselves, but also to others.

Others were shocked seeing Xu Ke boldly use Xiao Zhen’s assistant in front of him, but they respected him a bit more. Maybe they shouldn’t provoke this person in the future; who knows how long he might work at the company?

Despite being angry, Xiao Zhen thought that if this brat was around in the afternoon, he wouldn’t have to handle those documents himself, and the brat was indeed excellent at processing documents. Every department’s opinions were precisely on point.

No wonder he managed to quickly establish the division, but no matter how skilled this brat was, Xiao Zhen would never acknowledge it. Thinking of this, he let the kitchen prepare a meal and returned to his office.

However, on the way back, with the two walking in tandem, especially watching Xu Ke’s silhouette, Xiao Zhen felt conflicted. On one hand, he thought the brat was good, but recalling earlier, he felt the brat didn’t respect him at all.

Saying the brat was bad, his abilities were indeed outstanding, yet so infuriating.

The assistant, holding the pastry, even grabbed some extra sushi before leaving.

Though Xu Ke had a sharp tongue and liked to joke, the assistant knew that their job almost got lost this time. If it weren’t for Xu Ke’s kind heart in staying, they might not have a job now, and also managed to get the R&D Department Director out of the picture.

No matter what, this person might receive promotions in the future, so the assistant could only endure it. Plus, Xu Ke wasn’t one to hold grudges, so it was better to buy another sushi as a gesture of goodwill, perhaps as an apology later.

Xu Ke saw an extra sushi on the table and looked up at Xiao Zhen’s assistant, who quickly explained.

"I thought you didn’t eat much of our company’s sushi during lunch. Actually, you need to queue to buy it. I took advantage of the chairman’s presence to cut the line and got a portion. You could give it a try."

When saying this, the assistant smiled particularly ingratiatingly, which disgusted Xu Ke. Is this really necessary? Like he’s a prized dish or something.

"Stop smiling, your yellow teeth are showing. And you know what they say, unsolicited kindness often masks ill intentions. Tell me, what’s up? If you want my help, forget about it. You must understand, we have a conflict here. Hurry up and get me a cup of coffee."

Upon hearing this, the assistant furrowed their brows. Even though they tried to make amends, the division president was still so petty. Had they known he was so vengeful, they wouldn’t have offended him.

With no choice, the assistant followed Xu Ke’s preferences and earnestly went to make coffee. Meanwhile, although Xiao Zhen was playing games, he knew his assistant used his influence to get sushi for someone he disliked.

Suddenly, his heart felt choked.

"It’s my assistant, after all, why don’t they listen to me at all, going to get sushi for that person? Isn’t this going to drive me crazy?"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Zhen looked up and noticed Xu Ke, instantly acting proud, coldly snorting, and diverted his eyes back to his phone.

Perhaps afraid Xu Ke would think the sushi was from him, he hurried to clarify: "Rest assured, I would never get you sushi. My assistant is trying to please you, but there’s no pleasing you, really. He merely used you to remove that R&D Department Director who bullied him."

"Also, when it comes to Yiyi, there’s nothing to discuss between us. She’s always my daughter, so don’t even think about it."

Seeing Xiao Zhen worried he’d take Xiao Keyi away, Xu Ke couldn’t help but shake his head. Xiao Zhen was like a child, but no matter what, hadn’t he broken down defenses?

Looking at the sushi, the assistant’s familiarity with it suggested Xiao Zhen especially liked it. But this lunchtime, Xiao Zhen’s food was still there, and looking up a couple more times, Xiao Zhen’s gaze never left the sushi.

Clearly, Xiao Zhen had a particular fondness for food. However, Xu Ke also had an intention to tease him, so he directly opened the sushi and took an exaggerated sniff.
