After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he wanted to carry his nephew and walk out. No one here offered any help to treat him. Just as Wang Zhi was about to leave, Xu Ke swiftly handed a document to Secretary Zhou, who passed it into Wang Zhi’s arms.

"Shareholder Wang, don’t forget, your nephew still owes the company 4 million, and also the big project your nephew signed. If you aren’t able to terminate it, you’ll have to compensate 50 million next. Think it through yourself."

As Wang Zhi walked out, the shareholders looked at Xu Ke as if he were the king of hell. No one anticipated that such a young person would have so many methods. At this moment, they all feared him and didn’t dare to challenge Xu Ke.

They feared that what they had done in the past might be exposed by this young CEO, so now they were eager to fawn over Xu Ke.

Xu Ke naturally understood their fears. Since it was their own doing, Xu Ke could afford to turn a blind eye sometimes.

He hoped they wouldn’t repeat such behavior, so Xu Ke warned, "I hope from now on everyone takes this as an example and doesn’t cross the line again. If anyone does, I won’t hesitate to deal with you personally."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the shareholders were already frightened, so they all nodded hurriedly, making no further comments.

"What we witnessed earlier, that pair’s actions were really excessive. You did nothing wrong, so I have things to attend to. I’ll leave now without disturbing the CEO. If the CEO ever needs help, please don’t hesitate to ask me."

"Yes, indeed, CEO, if there’s time, let’s gather for a meal sometime. Rest assured, it won’t cost the company anything. We can eat at my place. I have matters too, so I’ll leave now."

"If the CEO needs anything, feel free to call me. I’ll leave now without disrupting the CEO."

Once these words were said, they all slipped away quickly without daring to say more.

Seeing that almost everyone had left the meeting room, Secretary Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, amazed that Xu Ke had resolved the issue so effortlessly, even removing the most difficult people. Secretary Zhou was thoroughly impressed.

"Wow, you are truly remarkable. Every time those shareholders come, everyone has headaches, yet you managed to dispatch them all at once."

Xu Ke was indifferent to Secretary Zhou’s praise, thinking they were just a bunch of old guys; there was nothing he couldn’t deal with. So he smiled, took a sip of coffee, and said:

"Go get busy. I suppose they won’t come back for a while. Also, handle our company’s project department matters for now."

Intentionally letting Secretary Zhou handle the project department, Zhou particularly cherished the opportunity and immediately headed there, where the project department was surprised to see Secretary Zhou handling the issues, causing everyone to become alert. Given Secretary Zhou’s close relationship with the CEO, one mistake could easily reach the top.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei was lying in the hospital, watching the fluid in his hand decreasing, feeling utterly depressed.

"Uncle, why didn’t you help me then? Watching me get beaten was humiliating. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come."

"Moreover, Uncle, you promised to help me and left at the critical moment, letting Xu Ke, that bastard, succeed. Now I’ve lost my job and got beaten up. I really can’t accept this."

At this point, Wang Zhi was terrified. Seeing his nephew still stubbornly unrepentant, he wanted to slap him, yet this was his nephew whom he had cherished since childhood.

"I suggest you calm down now and come up with a plan. Get the money back from the cooperation with Natural Company; otherwise, you won’t have any money left, and you’re here thinking about other things."

Listening to his uncle, Wang Wei shook his head, looking dazedly at his uncle, not understanding what he meant.

"Uncle, are you joking? I’ve already given the money to the other company’s CEO. How could they give it back? Besides, I gave them the key, and if they ask for it back, how could I maintain my dignity?"

"In life, one must be generous and not stingy. Besides, that money was just to smooth the relationship, why can’t you understand? We must be magnanimous in this matter and not fuss over it."

Finally unable to contain himself, Wang Zhi picked up a banana nearby and gently tossed it at his nephew.

Surprised that his nephew, despite years in the workforce, still behaved cluelessly, Wang Zhi was at a loss about what to do.

"The contract isn’t even signed properly, yet you invited them for a meal? Moreover, giving them money proactively—it’s surprising they haven’t taken you for a fool."

"Furthermore, the project hasn’t succeeded, yet you’ve lost so much money pouring it all in. Forget their CEO, even I can’t stand it. What are you doing making the situation so complicated?"

"Moreover, as I left, Xu Ke handed me a flyer, asking me to settle the company debt. If it isn’t settled, we’ll see each other in court. Think of a solution, I can’t come up with one. Though I’m a subsidiary shareholder, Xu Ke holds more shares than I do, so I basically have no say."

Thinking about this, Wang Zhi felt extremely frustrated. Previous CEOs would always watch his expression, but Xu Ke completely ignored the rules, acting stubbornly on his own.

Wang Zhi couldn’t grasp Xu Ke’s development path, so he had to test cautiously. However, facing Xu Ke’s real actions, Wang Zhi deeply feared his nephew would cause trouble, possibly landing both in jail. The thought terrified him.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei wasn’t worried at all, assuming Xu Ke was just like his friends, waving his hand: "Oh, Uncle, can’t you stop overthinking? With Xu Ke’s guts, how could he possibly sue me? Besides, the company finances weren’t given by me but by the accountants. It’s their responsibility, not mine."

After speaking, not wanting to hear more of his uncle’s nagging, he waved his hand indicating his fatigue: "Stop speaking to me about this. Use the time to think of a solution, or better yet, inquire which company needs a CEO. Given my current position, joining a small company as CEO would be effortless."

Seeing that his nephew was entirely unwilling to deal with him, Wang Zhi could only shake his head and walk out.
