Chapter 269: Chapter 269

Xiaohao lay lazily in the boss’s chair, legs crossed at the knees.

"Tell me, what happened in the company while I was away these past few days?" Xiaohao asked.

Opposite him, seated, were Secretary Lin Xiaowen and Deputy Office Director Wu Qiaoqiao.

Both women sat as straight as a pine tree.

"Mr. Zhang, during your absence these few days, the company functioned as usual. As you instructed, the ’Paris Spring’ product has been heavily promoted on Southern Province TV, and with the support of Bai Le Shopping Group’s channels, this product is now incredibly popular! Of the five hundred thousand units in stock, after two days of sales, less than one hundred thousand remain. Orders from everywhere are surging in like a tide," Lin Xiaowen reported.

"Hmm," Xiaohao nodded his head,

signaling them to continue.

"Another matter, the new cosmetic product that Mr. Cheng scheduled to launch yesterday was canceled for some unknown reason," Lin Xiaowen added.

"I’m already aware of that. Let me make two points," Xiaohao said.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Zhang," the two women said respectfully.

"First, those distributors who previously refused us, no matter what high prices they offer, they shall have no dealings with any product of our company!" Xiaohao declared.

"And the second point?" the two women inquired.

"The second point is that I want to reiterate, as I told Director Wu over the phone yesterday, no matter how hot ’Paris Spring’ is, we will not accept any new orders! Once we sell out the five hundred thousand units in stock, that’s the end of this product!" Xiaohao stated earnestly.

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, why? The prospect for ’Paris Spring’ cosmetics is so promising right now, why not take the opportunity to expand the sales channels?" Lin Xiaowen asked urgently.

Although Wu Qiaoqiao didn’t speak, her anxious expression was plain to see.

"No reason, just do as I say! And don’t blame me for speaking bluntly, anyone who takes orders privately will not escape consequences!" Xiaohao warned.

"Understood, Mr. Zhang!" Despite their confusion, the two women nodded vigorously.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go," Xiaohao told them.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a matter that I need to report to you privately,"

"Mr. Zhang, I also have a matter that requires your attention,"

Lin Xiaowen and Wu Qiaoqiao spoke up simultaneously, as if on cue.

they glanced at each other involuntarily and saw a challenge in each other’s eyes.

Xiaohao rubbed his head, well aware of what the two of them were up to.

"Both of you go. I want some quiet time," Xiaohao said, waving them away.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Despite their dissatisfaction, both complied.

They stood up and walked towards the door.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

"Didn’t I tell you that I wanted some quiet?" Xiaohao didn’t even turn around as he spoke.

"I’m Mr. Su’s secretary, there’s something I need to inform you..."

Before she could finish,

"Get out!" Xiaohao cut her off imperiously.

"I told you to get out, didn’t you hear me?" Xiaohao glared at her.

"You are going too far, Mr. Zhang!" Secretary Li exclaimed angrily.

"Even animals know to knock before entering; are you saying that you’re not even as good as an animal?" Xiaohao retorted.

Confronted with Xiaohao’s icy gaze,

"Hmph!" Secretary Li huffed,

Outside, a burst of angry knocking sounded.

"Come in!" Xiaohao spoke dispassionately.

Secretary Li entered with a cold face.

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaohao struck her face with a folder he had taken from the desk.

"Didn’t your parents teach you to be polite? Acting so insolently in front of a senior leader, barking like a mad dog, what kind of behavior is that?" Xiaohao chastised sharply. The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

"This is too much!" Secretary Li shouted.

"Too much, is it? Today, I’ll let you see exactly what that means," Xiaohao declared.

Picking up the office phone,

he said, "Director Wu, bring a few people over."

After hanging up, Xiaohao looked at her coldly.

"What do you plan to do, Mr. Zhang?" Secretary Li demanded.

"Mr. Zhang, did you need me for something?" Wu Qiaoqiao asked,

arriving with six ladies from the public relations department.

"Throw this mad dog out!" Xiaohao ordered dispassionately.

"Mr. Zhang, she’s Mr. Su’s secretary. Isn’t this a bit much?" Wu Qiaoqiao hesitated.

"Hmm, I thought so too! Finish handing over your work and go get your salary from finance," Xiaohao said calmly.

"What!" Wu Qiaoqiao gasped, desperately saying, "Please don’t, Mr. Zhang!"

"What are you waiting for? Throw her out," Xiaohao commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" This time, Wu Qiaoqiao did not hesitate.

With a wave of her hand, the six public relations ladies dashed forward, lifting Secretary Li up and heading towards the door.

"How dare you, Zhang! You have the audacity to disrespect me, I will report this to Mr. Su..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the public relations ladies coldly dropped her to the ground.

"Call Lin Xiaowen for me!" Xiaohao ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang," Wu Qiaoqiao responded.

Soon, Lin Xiaowen walked in, looking embarrassed.

"You, leave and close the door behind you," Xiaohao instructed.

Wu Qiaoqiao turned to leave, closing the office door behind her.

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, what are you trying to do?" Lin Xiaowen asked, flustered.

"Didn’t you hear me? Do you need me to repeat myself?" Xiaohao demanded.

Taken aback by Xiaohao’s cold gaze, Lin Xiaowen could not afford to delay any longer.

Xiaohao rose from his chair.

Lin Xiaowen was wearing a very short OL (office lady) professional outfit.

Xiaohao glanced at her dismissively and walked over to her side.

"Ah! Let’s go inside, Mr. Zhang!" Lin Xiaowen suggested.

Xiaohao smirked playfully.

Without a word, he started beating her!
