However, Hong Xuan was currently exhausted mentally due to recent issues, and coupled with some matters concerning his daughter abroad, he was too weary to keep searching for the old man. After all, the old man must also be feeling troubled at heart.

Seeing Xu Ke without showing any negative emotions about the situation brought some relief to Hong Xuan. Fortunately, Xu Ke didn’t think too much of it; otherwise, Xiao Group might lose a valuable talent.

"President, don’t overthink it. The old man hasn’t directly ordered you to leave yet, so you can’t go. If you leave, the company may not be able to operate anymore. Very few people can manage this model. Those people just know how to be leaders, but have no idea how to lead everyone to build the company."

Hearing Hong Xuan’s words, Xu Ke turned his head and glanced slightly. No one believed in him last night, but today Hong Xuan stood by his side, which was really rare, especially since Hong Xuan was one of the old man’s people.

Feeling slightly awkward under Xu Ke’s gaze, Hong Xuan quickly explained: "President, please don’t think too much. I will definitely follow you through. You know I don’t need to earn that much money now; the company’s shares are enough for my family’s living. So, I’m just an old man pursuing his dreams."

After speaking, Hong Xuan was worried Xu Ke might not believe him, so he added: "Rest assured, even if you resign, I’ll still follow you. The two of us can believe we’ll make the company successful. Your thinking is far more advanced than most in the country, and your business model is even more visionary."

Hong Xuan was particularly determined; he believed the people he judged wouldn’t be wrong, and Xu Ke’s value far exceeded what the old man imagined. The old man hadn’t ventured out in recent years; in animation and gaming, he couldn’t see the potential benefits.

However, Hong Xuan was crystal clear that only Xu Ke could expand the domestic animation and gaming market, and more people would want a piece of this pie in the future, but they couldn’t get it. The biggest piece would undoubtedly be controlled by Xu Ke.

Although Yu Hao was boasting about his abilities, he only innovated slightly based on the elders’ ways. Xu Ke’s innovations were far superior to these people.

His approach overturned previous paths in domestic animation, advancing years ahead where overseas couldn’t catch up. Just because the company was initially developing, those people didn’t see the potential benefits and thought Xu Ke’s achievements were done by others and not by him alone.

Xu Ke didn’t expect Hong Xuan to believe in him so much, but he truly didn’t know what to do now; his career was facing skepticism.

With a faint, bitter smile, he watched the leaves continuously fall. He took a deep breath, maybe Hong Xuan was right; only if he gritted his teeth and persisted could see the results, even if the old man declared him unnecessary, this career would continue.

For the passion in his heart, his unfinished dreams, and his determination, let everyone see that this decision was correct, and it wasn’t achieved just by relying on the Xiao Family.

At this time, Xu Ke’s heart was filled with courage, looking at these people without fear. Everyone who approached him unconsciously made way. Although they criticized him, this young president wasn’t trusted by the Xiao Family, so if they offended him, they’d suffer losses.

"I really can’t stand it; the things these people said are too unpleasant, and the president seems discouraged. What should be done? The president was my benefactor, and if he leaves this time, the next leader we meet..."

Zhu Ya sighed, unable to bear it, pushed past them in her high heels, raised her voice: "Why aren’t you working, gathering here for what? Do you not want to work anymore? If the finance department is here watching the show, those watching don’t need to come back. I’m the finance department head, and I certainly have authority over you."

After Zhu Ya spoke, the finance department staff began slipping away one by one. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ya was really too hateful, helping the president; she’s definitely the president’s lackey.

Other department employees were stunned, but since their heads hadn’t spoken up and Xu Ke was sidelined, they were unafraid.

"Alright, the finance department is just a bunch of cowards. Why should we care about them? Let’s keep gathering here. Since the company has no leader now, our heads haven’t arrived yet."

"That’s right, our heads are watching the show too. Anyway, we’ll just watch here; who cares."

"But I see our PR department is different; why is our PR head carrying a stick? That stick isn’t meant for teaching the president, is it?"

When the PR colleague said this, everyone looked towards Li Jun. Li Jun, fresh out of university, showed some youthful naivete and vitality, but Li Zui’s face was frost-covered, carrying an iron stick charging toward everyone. Those who saw Li Jun made way.

Excited, his mouth filled with words; unexpectedly, this young man is full of youthful vigor, finally speaking up for everyone. This is what a good young man should do, and everyone was pleased with Li Jun’s actions.

"Wow, our PR head is formidable, bringing out a stick! We should learn from them, grab weapons, and drive this fake president away to show him what Xiao Group’s branch power is."

"Hold on, I’ll grab a stick now. If I don’t beat him out today, he’s nothing anyway. With Li Jun leading us, I’m not afraid. Everyone should hurry and grab their weapons."

"Why do I feel something’s off, Li Jun doesn’t seem to be heading toward the president; it seems he’s going the other way? Is it because of someone else?"
