Yesterday this person said that about him, and Wang Wei added fuel to the fire, saying to the shareholders: "Shareholders, yesterday I was really pissed off by this person. Clearly, I’ve done so much for the company, and there’s a chance to profit, yet he didn’t listen at all and handed all the projects to Light and Shadow Company. It’s like he’s not considering our branch at all. Today, you must stand up for me."

After hearing Wang Wei’s words, the shareholders all nodded, as if gearing up to accomplish something significant.

"Wang Wei, don’t worry, your uncles will have your back on this matter. No one will dare to bully you, and we will ensure justice for you. If someone isn’t fit to be the team leader, we’ll pull them down directly."

The one speaking was naturally Wang Wei’s own uncle, and Wang Wei’s uncle held 20% of the company’s shares, so his words carried significant weight. Even the other shareholders deferred to Wang Zhi.

All the shareholders seemed to be enjoying a show, watching Xu Ke, the one who had offended Wang Zhi’s nephew, potentially destabilize his position as president.

He couldn’t be bothered to deal with these people, and seeing Xu Ke’s reaction, these people believed Xu Ke was afraid, so they kept talking incessantly.

Secretary Zhou opened the door to the meeting room, and the crowd poured in.

Ignoring the dust on the table and chairs in the meeting room, they just hoped they could topple Xu Ke, so each one sat down, disregarding their image.

The dust on the table finally got cleaned, and there was a fresh cup of coffee in front of him, so Xu Ke slowly sat down, which made the shareholders even angrier. Xu Ke was solely focused on pouring tea for himself, ignoring the shareholders completely, as if they were insignificant to him.

So at this moment, everyone was particularly dissatisfied.

They were all speaking one after another, while Xu Ke stared fixedly at them. Wang Wei was particularly pleased, thinking he might actually take the president’s position after this, looking at Xu Ke with his legs crossed.

He even pulled out a cigarette. When Secretary Zhou saw Wang Wei’s actions, he frowned tightly. He was treating the meeting room as his home, even though smoking was strictly prohibited there!

These shareholders, seeing Xu Ke say nothing, felt even more justified, but after talking for a while, they suddenly found themselves parched and looked at Secretary Zhou, who was standing there.

"Can’t you see we are sitting here now? Don’t you know to serve tea? How are you even qualified to be a secretary? How exactly did you get your position today?"

It was Wang Wei’s uncle, Wang Zhi, speaking. He had also heard from his nephew the previous night that this secretary was no good. Though he dared not speak against Xu Ke, as he couldn’t gauge Xu Ke’s stance, he believed Xu Ke wouldn’t fall out with him over just a secretary.

So he was ready to target the secretary now.

Secretary Zhou, even though unwilling, knew if he offended the shareholders, it would be hard for the president. Although his dignity was being trampled on, remembering the president’s immense grace, Secretary Zhou gritted his teeth and was about to go get the tea.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke, who had been silent all this while, suddenly slammed a hand on the meeting room table. The sound was deafening, and everyone shuddered. Secretary Zhou also looked towards Xu Ke.

"I’ve always thought you shareholders were quite busy, so I didn’t call you to the company. But now it seems you’re too free, coming here for my secretary to serve you tea. Haven’t you had enough tea at home?"

"Whether my secretary is qualified to be a secretary is up to me to decide, not for you to meddle with. What are you trying to do here today? Denounce me?"

After Xu Ke spoke, some shareholders already began to consider retreating. After all, if there was a real confrontation with the president, they’d be the ones losing out since they didn’t own many shares, so they put a smile on their faces.

"President, you misunderstand. We came today just to discuss the new plans for the project department. Please, don’t take it to heart. Besides, I’ve had enough to drink, so I can do without more."

Wang Wei couldn’t sit still after hearing this and suddenly stood from his chair: "Isn’t Secretary Zhou just a secretary? What’s the harm in serving everyone some tea? Or can Secretary Zhou only serve you tea? What’s the use of having such a useless secretary?"

Hearing his nephew speak, Wang Zhi supported him, saying: "My nephew is not wrong. It’s just serving tea, isn’t it? How is it an imposition?"

Wang Zhi, unlike the other shareholders, wasn’t concerned. After all, he held most of the branch company’s shares and wasn’t worried at all. If possible, he would very much like to see Xu Ke topple.

Thus, Wang Zhi remained completely impatient, even folding his arms, not expecting Xu Ke to chuckle coldly, prompting Wang Zhi to look at Xu Ke.

"Oh, you’re truly overqualified here. And has Shareholder Wang reached this low now? There’s no one to serve you tea, or have you become disabled, missing arms or legs? I sincerely sympathize with you. If you’d like, I’m more than willing to recommend a few hospitals known for their excellent orthopedics."

Wang Zhi was furious, but no fitting retort came to mind, so he could only seethe, slamming his water glass onto the table.

Xu Ke, however, paid no mind. Wang Wei, seeing his uncle angry, found the situation even more entertaining. As long as his uncle was angry, his uncle would surely get justice for him.

Seeing Xu Ke defending him, Secretary Zhou, despite feeling particularly grateful, also worried about causing trouble for Xu Ke, and frowned immediately at the thought.

"...President."

Xu Ke gestured for her not to speak: "Since you all are here, state your purpose, so you won’t have come here for nothing. Let me also tell you, if this trip turns out to be useless for you, don’t blame me; it’s of your own doing."

Wang Zhi snorted coldly, tossing a document onto the table. This document was naturally about the branch company president’s management system. The shareholders were trying to pin Xu Ke today. If Xu Ke wanted to dismiss Wang Wei, he himself would have to step down.

However, the shareholders did not dare present it themselves, recognizing Xu Ke’s exceptional competence, especially as he was appointed by the old man. They simply lacked the capability, leaving Wang Zhi, who was eager to grandstand, in the spotlight.
