Chapter 210: Chapter 210
"Son-in-law, the meal is ready," Sister Zhou said with a smile.
"Okay, I’m going to take a shower and change clothes," Zhang Xiaohao said.
After taking a warm bath in the downstairs bathroom, he changed into a clean black Versace suit.
"Good morning!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Good morning, brother-in-law! You didn’t happen to do something unspeakable last night and stay up all night, did you?" Cheng Qingsu sat next to the dining table, teasing with a smile.
"Sister, am I right?"
"You little brat, shut your mouth! Just eat your food quietly!" Cheng Tianxue scolded coldly.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao gave a dry laugh and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"I’m full, I’m off to school," Cheng Qingsu said, flashing a cheeky smile at Zhang Xiaohao before running outside.
"School? What’s Qingsu going there for?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"Qingsu is a teacher," Mr. Cheng said.
"Cough! Cough! She’s a teacher?" Zhang Xiaohao said in surprise.
"Yes! What about it?" Mr. Cheng asked.
"Nothing! Let’s eat, let’s eat," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He was genuinely surprised this time, thinking to himself that his young auntie was no simple character.
On the surface, she was a teacher, but in secret, she was a special agent. That’s a double identity!
"Grandpa, I’m done eating. Ruobai, let’s go to the company," Cheng Tianxue said as she put down her bowl.
"Okay," Su Ruobai nodded and said, "Grandpa, I’m leaving."
"Okay, drive safely," Mr. Cheng said.
"Hey! Wait for me, what am I supposed to do if you all leave?" Zhang Xiaohao said. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Humph! Do whatever you want," Cheng Tianxue said without looking back.
"Cough! Cough! Grandpa, what’s with that look? Let’s eat, let’s continue eating," Zhang Xiaohao said awkwardly.
After finishing the meal, he greeted everyone, left the villa, and headed for the company.
It was exactly half-past nine when he arrived at the company.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhang!" The receptionist greeted Zhang Xiaohao warmly as he arrived.
"Good morning, you look even prettier today," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"You’re so bad, Mr. Zhang."
"A man has to be a bit bad for women to love him!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.
He turned and took the elevator to the tenth floor.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhang!" A group of beauties from the public relations department greeted Zhang Xiaohao warmly as he returned.
"Have you all missed me while I was away?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a mischievous smile.
"If you missed me, then work diligently!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
He turned and entered his office.
His secretary Lin Xiaowen and the deputy director of the office Wu Qiaoqiao quickly followed him in.
Zhang Xiaohao sat in his boss chair and said, "Tell me, what happened in the company while I was gone?"
"Mr. Zhang, three things happened in the company during your absence," Lin Xiaowen reported.
"What three things?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"The first thing is the matter with Guan Martial Arts Hall, which you have already settled," she said.
"And the remaining two?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"The second thing is that a new generation of cosmetics that Mr. Cheng has been working on has been released, with a stock of one million units! We are still increasing production," Lin Xiaowen said.
"Xiao Wen, can’t you just say everything all at once? Is it fun keeping your superiors on tenterhooks ?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.
"Ah! Mr. Zhang, I didn’t mean to do it, really! You must believe me." Lin Xiaowen hurriedly explained.
"Alright, why are you so nervous? Go on," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"The third matter, which concerns our PR department! It’s about the Paris Spring sales issue," Lin Xiaowen said.
"I recall that before I left, everything regarding the production, sales, and endorsements of the Paris Spring cosmetics had been properly arranged. It’s been over half a month, why aren’t they on the shelves yet?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a frown.
"Mr. Zhang, here is what happened!" Wu Qiaoqiao took over the conversation.
"Speak!" said Zhang Xiaohao.
"After you left, we spent a week re-packaging and processing the Paris Spring product according to the plan you left. Everything was ready! The only thing left was to go on the shelves."
Pausing for a moment, Wu Qiaoqiao continued.
"When we followed your instructions and went to Bai Le Shopping Group to find President Guan Qingxue, we encountered resistance!"
"What happened? Did Guan Qingxue have second thoughts?" Zhang Xiaohao asked gravely.
"It wasn’t President Guan backing out! It was people from the Guan Family in Beijing," Wu Qiaoqiao said.
"What are they here for?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, furrowing his brow.
"I’m not entirely sure about the details, but according to their insiders, it seems the people from the Guan Family in Beijing came with ill intent, planning to forcibly buy out Bai Le Group at a low price. Naturally, Guan Qingxue wouldn’t agree, so both parties started a fierce covert struggle," Wu Qiaoqiao explained.
"Hmm, I got it," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mr. Zhang, what do we do now? There are less than three days left before the one-month deadline Mr. Su set! And in three days, the new generation of cosmetics personally developed by Mr. Cheng are going to hit the market," Wu Qiaoqiao said.
"I’m giving you two ten minutes to get ready. We’ll head over after that," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" The two women responded excitedly and went down to prepare.
Zhang Xiaohao, accompanied by Lin Xiaowen and Wu Qiaoqiao, took the elevator down.
"You’ve already been fired, I won’t allow you to go in!"
"You’re just reception staff, where do you get the power to stop me? Get out of my way!"
"You’ve been fired and are no longer employees of the company. As the receptionist, I have the right to stop you from entering!"
"Wow, haven’t seen you in a few days and you’ve grown some guts! I’m telling you again, get out of my way!"
"If you don’t leave, I’m going to call security!" the receptionist said angrily.
"Ha! You’re going to call security? Brothers, tell this silly girl loudly, what do we do?"
"You’ve been fired and are no longer part of the company," the receptionist insisted anxiously.
"I’ve told you once! Get lost!"
"I won’t!" the receptionist said.
"You’re asking for it, you bitch!"
In the midst of speaking, a hand swung at the receptionist’s face.
Accompanied by a cry of surprise, the sound of a resounding slap filled the air.
"Beauty, it’s not you getting slapped, what are you shouting for?" Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.
Just now, as the man’s hand was about to hit the receptionist’s face,
Zhang Xiaohao arrived just in time, threw out a hand, and landed a powerful slap on the man’s face, sending him tumbling to the ground, two front teeth popping out.
"Ah! Really?" the receptionist gasped in surprise, touching her cheek, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"
With lightning speed, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on Zhang Xiaohao’s face.
