Chapter 271
Xia Ruoan wanted to drink water, so she had to come out.
Leng Zexi's face was stern, "Go and apologize first and ask for forgiveness first."
"But Mr. Xiao said he would not agree to be acquired again. He said we did not respect his request and destroyed his flowers at will. In fact, it was an accident and it was really not intentional."
"If it wasn't intentional, then it was intentional. The people you sent over destroyed the flowers that people worked so hard to grow. Instead of apologizing first, you are trying to shirk responsibility."
"If they hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known about it. You tried to pay them to compromise."
"Are you planning to let people know that my Leng family is bullying others by abusing our power?" Leng Zexi was really annoyed this time.
"All those who went there this time will be expelled. Hold a meeting to pass on this matter. I will not allow something like this to happen a second time." Leng Zexi looked at them and said.
"Yes." The department manager lowered his head and dared not speak.
Hearing the sound of a door opening, Leng Zexi frowned and looked towards the door. He didn't see it open, and saw several managers looking behind him.
Leng Zexi looked over and saw Xia Ruoan coming out. He quickly adjusted his expression and said, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
Xia Ruoan shook her head, "I want to drink water." Xia Ruoan said embarrassedly.
When Leng Zexi heard this, he stood up and poured her some water.
"No need, I can do it myself." Xia Ruoan saw it and walked over.
"It's okay. I'll do it." Leng Zexi poured the water and touched the cup to make sure it was not hot before giving it to her. "Are you hungry? There are snacks in the cupboard."
Leng Zexi took a look inside the cupboard and took out some dried strawberries and tomato-flavored potato chips for her.
Xia Ruoan then looked at the food in the cupboard and asked, "Why are all the food I like? Aren't they prepared for Sui Sui and the others?"
"They are not picky as long as they have something to eat, so I asked people to prepare what you like. Take a look first to see if there is anything else you want to eat. I'm going out to take care of some things, and we'll go home soon." Leng Zexi touched her hair and comforted her.
"Okay." Xia Ruoan nodded gently, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.
However, the few people who had not left at this moment opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene in astonishment.
Not long ago, there were many rumors outside, saying that the marriage between their young, promising, and ruthless president and Miss Xia was just a political marriage, or that it was a marriage that had to be facilitated because the woman was pregnant.
But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, who would dare to say such nonsense? The deep affection between the two people is beyond words, and the child is like an unexpected surprise that came to this happy family.
Everyone pondered secretly in their hearts, and their eyes unconsciously turned to the president who always had a stern face.
His expression had returned to its usual calm and majestic state, but the barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes slowly flowed out like a gurgling stream.
Obviously, Xia Ruoan's arrival made his originally tense nerves relax a little.
The subsequent meeting ended smoothly in a relatively calm atmosphere.
Nevertheless, the problems that need to be solved still need to be dealt with and addressed one by one.
For those employees who are about to be fired, the outcome is already determined and there is no room for maneuver.
What is even more unexpected is that after some investigation and verification, it was discovered that there were indeed people who entered the company through the back door through improper means.
Even the person behind the scenes who had made things easier for him was not spared and was ruthlessly dismissed.
Of course, it is not that the company is completely prohibited from providing employment opportunities to others, but the premise is that the talents introduced must possess certain abilities and qualities. Even if they cannot make contributions, at least they should not harm the overall interests of the company.
It is precisely because of the decisiveness and vigorous style of action demonstrated in this incident that many senior managers within the company are fearful.
From then on, I never dared to open back doors for others easily, for fear that I would accidentally invite a "pig teammate" who was more likely to cause trouble than help, and eventually end up hurting others and myself.
"Is the situation very difficult?" Xia Ruoan turned her head slightly, staring at Leng Zexi beside her with eyes as clear as water, and asked softly.
Her voice is soft and melodious, like a warm spring breeze blowing past people's ears, making people intoxicated by it.
Although he tried his best to conceal his emotions, the sensitive Xia Ruoan still keenly noticed his inner depression.
She looked at him tenderly and whispered, "You don't need to pretend to be yourself in front of me."
"If you have any difficulties or need help, you can tell me honestly, because we are one."
Hearing Xia Ruoan's caring words, Leng Zexi's lips curled up slightly. He was very touched by her concern.
However, he didn't want her to worry too much, so he smiled and comforted her: "I'm sorry to make you worry. Don't worry, I can handle it."
But how could Xia Ruo'an be easily dismissed by him? She glanced at him with a hint of reproach and sighed helplessly: "Let's go to Mr. Xiao's place!"
"Have you forgotten my expertise? Perhaps I can provide some useful help."
Xia Ruoan studied a field related to gardening.
Then, Xia Ruoan continued: "Let's go check out the situation first and see if there is still room for rescue."
"After all, those are flowers that people have carefully taken care of for several years. They must have spent a lot of effort on them."
In fact, Xia Ruo'an had already learned part of what happened from his assistant. This time they had an important cooperation project, and the key to success was to show enough sincerity.
What the other party had always been thinking about was a precious calligraphy work by Mr. Xiao.
After much difficulty, I got the chance to meet Mr. Xiao, but who would have thought that the person I sent to visit him accidentally broke his flowerpot and even stepped on it.
At this time, Leng Zexi also looked at Xia Ruo'an with a serious face, and said worriedly: "I have sent people to coordinate, but Mr. Xiao has always had a bad temper."
"Now that his beloved flowers have suffered such a fate and been destroyed, I'm afraid he won't even want to see us."
"In the past, I just encountered some difficulties. I will go there in person tomorrow. You can stay at home and don't have to go with me."
Leng Zexi said to his wife seriously.
He knew very well that this matter was indeed their responsibility, so he did not try to shirk or quibble, but deep down he really couldn't bear to let his beloved wife accompany him to suffer the blame from others.
However, Xia Ruoan doesn't think so.
She gently held Leng Zexi's hand and responded with a firm look: "That's why we should go there immediately!"
"If an elderly person is angry, it would be better to vent it out. If he keeps it in his heart, his body may be affected."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi looked at her and didn't know how to refuse for a moment. At the same time, he felt a little distressed for this considerate woman in front of him.
He stroked Xia Ruo'an's cheek and said softly, "But I really don't want you to bear those unpleasant words."
Xia Ruona shook her head, "You know, I'm not the kind of person who can only share happiness with you but not difficult times with you."
Xia Ruoan smiled slightly, with a gentle and resolute light in her eyes, and comforted her husband, "Don't worry, Zexi."
"No matter what the situation is, I am willing to stay by your side."
"Besides, it's not too late now. Let's go and take a look. Maybe the flower can still be saved. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we have to give it a try first."
As she spoke, she turned and looked at Leng Zexi, her eyes full of anticipation.
Leng Zexi stared into Xia Ruo'an's beautiful eyes, nodded slowly after a moment, and asked softly: "Do you really want to go?"
Xia Ruoan nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course! Not only do I want to help solve the problem, I am also particularly curious about what kind of flower it is that can make Mr. Xiao cherish and love it so much."
Seeing his wife's firm attitude, Leng Zexi no longer hesitated and decisively turned the car around and sped towards Mr. Xiao's residence.
Along the way, the two of them didn't say much, each of them silently waiting for the upcoming meeting with different feelings.
Soon, the car arrived at the destination.
When Xia Ruo'an saw the community in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Leng Zexi beside him. He asked in disbelief: "Are you sure this is the place?"
Xia Ruoan widened his eyes and looked at the seemingly ordinary community in front of him with suspicion, his heart filled with disbelief.
According to common sense, a person of such a respected status as Mr. Xiao should either live in a luxurious villa or own a quiet courtyard with green trees!
But now it was just a suite located in the residential area, which really surprised Xia Ruoan.
"Yes, it is here."
Leng Zexi seemed to see her confusion and said softly, "Mr. Xiao is a very nostalgic person."
It is said that the reason why Mr. Xiao did not move away was because he missed his deceased wife deeply.
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel even more respect for Mr. Xiao, whom he had never met.
To be able to miss his wife so fondly, he must be a kind-hearted, loyal and good man.
Thinking of this, she smiled and nodded, "Then let's go up quickly."
Since the building was not very high, with only six floors, Mr. Xiao lived on the fifth floor and there was no elevator installed, the two had to climb the stairs on foot.
Along the way, Xia Ruoan noticed that Leng Zexi was holding a lot of things in his hands. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were precious gifts such as tea and ginseng.
"Let me get you some." Xia Ruoan took the initiative to speak, and at the same time reached out to take the gifts. "When were these prepared?" she asked curiously.
