Chapter 83 Let me formally introduce Lin Xi, my girlfriend.
Song Xu glanced at Director Shu, his face cold. "If Director Shu doesn't want to work here anymore, he can resign voluntarily. Don't talk to me about seniority and hierarchy here. This is a company, not your family ancestral hall."
"What are you trying to do, bringing so many people and trying to force your way into my office? Are you trying to rebel?"
"You..." Director Shu was so angry that his eyes almost rolled back.
Shu Xi ran over and helped Director Shu up, looking at Song Xu with a wronged expression. "President Song, please don't blame my father. Lin Xi hurt me, and my father came here to demand an explanation because he felt sorry for me."
"Lin Xi injured you?" Song Xu asked, puzzled. "I've been with her for so long and I've never seen her lose her temper. She speaks softly and is quite frail. How could she have injured you?"
Zhang Qing's lips twitched as he thought to himself that his little Song had never seen Lin Xi hit anyone and hadn't noticed any signs of her being weak and frail.
And Lin Xi's mouth—her voice isn't loud, but the things she says can be quite sarcastic, which is quite satisfying.
Seeing Lin Xi beat up Shu Xi, Zhang Qing felt a sense of satisfaction. He was fed up with Shu Xi's stupidity and rudeness, but he couldn't do anything about it. Finally, there was someone who could control her.
Shu Xi removed the gauze from her head, revealing a large bump on her forehead with a bloody mark on it. "President Song, look, the injury on my head was inflicted by Lin Xi. It's not just my forehead; she also slapped my face."
Song Xu glanced at the large bump on Shu Xi's forehead, tugged at his own hat brim, and felt much better; Shu Xi's forehead was much uglier than his.
"Why did she hit you?" Song Xu asked calmly. "My Xixi is very reasonable."
"This..." Shu Xi's eyes darted away, "I just accidentally bumped into her, and she hit me."
Song Xu snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Zhang Qing, did you see what happened?" Song Xu asked Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing nodded. "I saw it, I saw the whole thing. Here's what happened..."
Zhang Qing was a skilled performer, vividly recounting the story while gesturing, perfectly mimicking Lin Xi and Shu Xi's tone and expressions.
Song Xu watched his performance indifferently.
Lin Xi stood at the office door listening to Zhang Qing's account. She secretly gave him a thumbs up. This assistant Zhang was practically a camera, not missing a single word she and Shu Xi said.
There was definitely a reason why he was able to become Song Xu's assistant.
The more Director Shu listened, the darker his face became. After hearing Zhang Qing's description, he realized that his daughter's injury was entirely her own fault.
“That’s how it is,” Zhang Qing said, sounding quite pleased with himself. “I put the broom that Shu Xi threw down back where it was.”
Just as Director Shu was about to speak in defense, Song Xu called out towards his office, "Xi Xi, come here!"
Lin Xi came out of the office and stood next to Song Xu.
Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi's shoulder. "Let me formally introduce you. Lin Xi is my girlfriend."
“I will pursue those who verbally insult and abuse my girlfriend to the end, including but not limited to filing a civil lawsuit.”
"Dad!" Shu Xi was stunned. She didn't expect Song Xu to acknowledge Lin Xi's identity, and she had indeed said a lot of hurtful things.
Director Shu was also dumbfounded. Wasn't she just a secretary? How did she suddenly become his girlfriend?
"Mr. Song, there must be some misunderstanding here. My Xixi didn't know that Lin Xi was your girlfriend. She's been spoiled by me and speaks without thinking."
"Xi Xi insulted Lin Xi, and Lin Xi retaliated. We admit defeat and let's just let it go." Director Shu wanted to smooth things over; he still had to work for the company, and he couldn't afford to offend the Song family.
“Director Shu is wrong to say that,” Song Xu sneered. He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Director Shu call Shu Xi “Xi Xi”. “My Xi Xi was acting in self-defense, not hitting someone on her own initiative.”
"Furthermore, I will raise questions about your abuse of power in placing people in the company at will at the shareholders' meeting."
Director Shu was completely dumbfounded. Song Xu had turned on him completely and was going to use the shareholders' meeting to kick him out of the board of directors.
He clenched his fist and glared at Song Xu. "Well done, but this company isn't your place to call the shots yet. You're too impatient, hmph!"
After finishing speaking, Director Shu pulled Shu Xi and turned to leave.
The remaining dozen or so security guards stood frozen in place; they had become cannon fodder.
“Mr. Song,” one of the bolder security guards walked up to Song Xu, “we were just called here by the captain, and we have no idea what we’re supposed to do.”
“Yes, Mr. Song, please don’t fire us,” the other security guards chimed in. “We all spent over 100,000 yuan to get this job.”
Song Xu thought he had misheard. "What did you say? A job you paid for?"
The security captain quickly stepped in to take over, "Mr. Song, they're just talking nonsense. Who would pay to hire security guards?"
“You didn’t spend any money because Director Shu is your second uncle. We all spent money and haven’t even broken even yet,” one of the security guards retorted.
Song Xu laughed. This was very interesting. The security guards at Huayue Group all paid to get in. He wanted to know whose pockets all that money went into.
If this is the case for security guards, do other employees also experience this?
Investigate! He has to investigate; if this continues, the company will rot from within.
“Zhang Qing!” Song Xu said coldly, “You handle these security guards. Those who can explain how they got into the company and provide evidence can stay on. Those who can’t explain themselves can be fired.”
"Yes, Mr. Song." Zhang Qing was quick-witted and understood Song Xu's intention.
He was most willing to do this kind of lucrative job. He waved to the security guards and said, "Those who want to stay, come with me!"
Upon hearing this, all the security guards except the captain followed Zhang Qing into the office.
When the security captain saw this situation, he knew something was wrong. He turned around and ran away; he had to find his second uncle.
Song Xu put his arm around Lin Xi's shoulder and walked towards his office.
Lin Xi was still a little dazed. She hadn't said a word, and the matter was resolved just like that?
"President Song, will Chairman Shu do anything behind your back to get back at you?"
"Don't call me President Song anymore," Song Xu said with displeasure. "We've just officially announced that you're my girlfriend, so don't call me President Song at the company anymore."
“You can call me ‘darling’,” Song Xu whispered in Lin Xi’s ear, “or you can call me ‘husband’.”
Lin Xi's ears were burning. She pushed Song Xu away and strode into the office alone, leaving Song Xu behind.
She sat in her chair, rubbing her burning ears, and cursed Song Xu in her heart, wondering why he had suddenly become so improper.
Song Xu walked in with a half-smile, sat opposite Lin Xi, and stared intently at her.
Lin Xi felt uneasy under his gaze. She looked up and stared back, "My part-time secretary job is over. Settle my wages."
