Chapter 397: Chapter 397
Cao Wang walked out of the living room with steps that seemed somewhat heavy. He waved his hand and left with a group of Cao family members.
Xu Hao watched his disappearing figure, feeling somewhat sentimental. Born into a noble house, one enjoys glory and wealth, but the responsibilities that come with it are also extremely heavy.
For the scion of a noble house, the first rule to follow is that the interests of the family always come first!
Moreover, as the Head of the Cao Family, Cao Wang needed to set an example. Yet, even as the Family Head, he did not have full control over the family's decisions.
Those elders of the family were the real decision-makers!
Xu Hao still did not know the situation on his father's side, nor did he know exactly what kind of force the Xu Family was. He had suddenly inherited an enormous amount of wealth, but he also had to bear certain responsibilities. Read ahead and get updates at *.
Xu Hao had no complaints about this, for it was within reason. Moreover, as a son of the Xu Family, how could he be afraid? At that moment, some onlookers who were watching from a distance began to approach hesitantly but firmly, only to be stopped by the security guards.
Xu Hao put away his thoughts and went out to ask, "Who are you?"
The leader of the group said, "Greetings, Young Master Xu, we are all students from the same martial arts school as Xin Peixian, but we are his juniors, graduating next year. You must be aware of our situation – even after graduation, we would only be working in the security industry. We too are looking for a good security company to join. My family lives not far from Senior Xin's, and by chance, we learned that you are about to establish a security company.
I think Senior Xin didn't ask me because he knew we hadn't graduated yet, otherwise, he would have definitely asked if I wanted to join. But I was really tempted by the idea, so we, a group of classmates who get along very well, came together to seek a position at your company, hoping to work there."
Xu Hao frowned slightly and said, "The security company is no longer my concern, as I have handed it entirely over to Xin Peixian to manage. If you want to join the company, then go find Xin Peixian. Coming to me is useless."
Yet in his heart, Xu Hao scoffed. With his keen insight, he noticed that these people's expressions and evasive eyes betrayed their nervousness. Ridiculously, they thought they could use him to get into the company!
They must have thought that, as Xin Peixian's superior and the company's owner, and considering that he was not familiar with their situation, he would be easily persuaded.
And if he agreed, they could directly enter the company; no matter how much authority Xin Peixian had, he was just an employee and would not go against Xu Hao's wishes.
The man immediately said, "Young Master Xu, we understand that the company is yours. How could it be useless to find you? Do you know, we are the most outstanding students of our cohort, and any other security company would be eager to have us."
He didn't finish his sentence. The reason they wanted to join was because Xu Hao's company was offering salaries much higher than other companies, generally about one and a half times more.
"Then go to other companies," Xu Hao said coldly.
They were trying to threaten him when he didn't want them in his company?
The man hurriedly said, "You've misunderstood, Young Master Xu. I only mean to say that we are all strong candidates. You really need to consider this carefully!"
After thinking it over, Xu Hao suddenly said, "Alright, then what's your name?"
The man immediately replied, "Young Master Xu, my name is Cai Fei."
Xu Hao chuckled coldly and made a call to Xin Peixian. "Xin Peixian, do you know Cai Fei?"
"Cai Fei?!" Xin Peixian sounded surprised, then quickly said, "Of course, I know him, Young Master Xu. He's my neighbor. I even visited his house before going to the Cao Family's. But not only did he refuse to join the company with me, he laughed at me, saying I would certainly lose both my wife and soldiers. Wait, that's not right, Young Master Xu, he's just an ordinary person. How do you know him?"
Cai Fei at the side was already shocked stiff. He could hardly believe that Xu Hao could be so cautious and meticulous in his approach.
It was just about placing a few people inside the company. He thought that a young boss like Xu Hao would certainly agree without much fuss, especially since he had said that he and Xin Peixian were neighbors.
Moreover, he had timed it perfectly, approaching Xu Hao just after he had sent off a guest, hoping Xu Hao might be somewhat impatient but not overly so. He simply wanted to take advantage of the confusion.
Unfortunately for him, Xu Hao's thoroughness in dealing with matters far exceeded his assumptions.
Xu Hao spoke indifferently, "He came to me with a group, hoping I would agree to let them join the security company."
Xin Peixian immediately responded, "Young Master Xu, you mustn't agree! This guy is duplicitous. Has he forgotten how he mocked me before? Him mocking me is one thing, but he dared say that Young Master Xu, you are a swindler, and that your company is nothing but a shell – that's intolerable!"
