Chapter 125: The Female Lead Goes Bankrupt (7)
After three full days of busy work in Hong Kong, the listing process has finally come to an end.
The female protagonist, leading Xu Fu and his entourage, returned to the mainland without stopping.
But once the car was on the highway, Xu Fu realized something was wrong.
He turned to look at his assistant sitting beside him, who seemed completely at ease.
Xu Fu simply stretched out his elbow and nudged the other person.
He asked in a sinister tone, "This isn't the way back to the villa. Are you planning to sell me out?"
"President, have you forgotten? This is the celebration ceremony you arranged in advance—" the assistant replied politely.
"Today?!" Xu Fu slapped his forehead, only then remembering what he had been busy with.
"I've been working non-stop these past few days, I'm so tired, I completely forgot about this—" Xu Fu quickly apologized.
"How about I just have them cancel, and then we can reschedule?"
The assistant cautiously offered suggestions, subtly observing Xu Fu's expression.
If a person is truly exhausted, he would rather offend everyone than miss out on tonight's celebration!
"Is this your idea to handle things in such a hurry, or—" Xu Fu looked at his assistant with suspicion.
How dare this person hold their celebration today?!
Aren't you afraid that something might happen to them and they won't make it in time?
"Or did you take bribes from someone?!" Xu Fu stared at his assistant with a suspicious look.
"Yes, yes, it's Manager Fang Hua—" Zhu Ni lowered her head shyly, looking guilty...
"What, have you taken a fancy to him, or did he seduce you?!" Xu Fu's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at the man with annoyance.
"I didn't, it wasn't—" the assistant hurriedly tried to explain, but Xu Fu interrupted him directly.
"Alright, your bonus for the past six months is gone, and don't even think about the year-end bonus."
Xu Fu rubbed his throbbing temples and made a decision directly.
"Drive faster, let's see—"
Xu Fu wanted to see what this male protagonist was really up to!
But he quickly came up with a solution—
Since the male lead wants to cause trouble at the celebration, he should retaliate in kind.
So that people won't think he's a pushover who can be bullied at will!
Xu Fu, having finalized his plan, directly called the system.
"Master, give me one 'Spring Affection Pill,' one 'Multi-Child Pill,' and one 'Double Male Pill'—"
【Host, do you have to do this every time?!】
"System, do you always feel sorry for the female lead?!" A glint flashed in Xu Fu's eyes, then quickly disappeared.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to earn points anymore?"
"What if one day I really run out of points and don't want to complete the task—"
"Will you be the first to be eliminated, or will I be?!"
Xu Fu nonchalantly countered with a threat, and this time it was the system's turn to shut up.
It knew that this host seemed to be the easiest to talk to.
But this is just the surface; people are as stubborn as rocks in a latrine!
System: What can we do? We have no choice but to give in!
[Ding! The pill has been stored in the system space. The host can retrieve it at any time.]
"Be good!" Xu Fu said perfunctorily, his face expressionless.
"To me, Tongzi, you'll always be the best!"
Guided by his assistant, Xu Fu went directly into the hotel's banquet hall.
The room was already bustling with people, clinking glasses and creating a lively atmosphere.
As soon as Xu Fu entered, the employees automatically made way for him and applauded.
Xu Fu, with a joyful smile on his face, walked over confidently and calmly.
Guided by the male protagonist, Xu Fu ascended the platform, stood in front of the microphone, and quickly prepared his words.
Xu Fu humbly attributed the credit to everyone present.
Then they specially invited the male and female leads onto the stage, pushing them into the public eye.
Then he lavishly praised the two for their significant contributions to the company over a five-year period—
Then he gave his assistant a look, signaling him to bring over three glasses of wine.
During the pause between the male and female protagonists' speeches, Xu Fu swiftly slipped pills into two cups of wine...
Then he stared intently at the three glasses of wine—
After the two men finished speaking, Xu Fu stepped forward with a smile, carrying his backpack.
The wine that stirred the heart of spring was given to the male protagonist, while the blessing of many children was bestowed upon the female protagonist.
Finally, Xu Fu took the clean bottles of wine from his assistant.
He raised his glass to the two of them—
"Thank you both for your contributions, let's raise a glass together—"
Xu Fu then gestured to the crowd, "Let's all thank these two people beside me."
"For the company to have reached where it is today, and for me to have this honor—"
"Their contributions are indispensable!" Xu Fu's words were resounding.
The male and female protagonists, unsuspecting, drank their wine in one gulp amidst the compliments of the crowd.
Fearing any mishaps along the way, Xu Fu directly addressed the male and female protagonists...
"I'm giving you ten days of paid leave—"
"You can go back and rest, or you can go abroad for travel."
"I will reimburse all expenses for the trip."
"When you return, I will give you some original shares of the company—"
Xu Fu patted the male protagonist on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction and said emotionally,
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you all for so long—"
"I can't be the only one eating the meat while you all drink the soup, can I?!"
Before the male lead could pledge his loyalty, Xu Fu turned to look at the female lead.
"You too, after working with me for so long, you look quite haggard—"
"I'll give you ten days off to rest well. When you come back, you'll definitely get plenty of benefits."
Xu Fu gave people an expression that said, "You know, I know, we all understand."
The female protagonist, somewhat shy, blushed and nodded gratefully to Xu Fu.
Just as the male protagonist was about to lash out, Xu Fu swiftly pushed the two of them out.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell them, "You should go back and rest."
"If you think it's too far, you can ask your assistant to book a presidential suite for you."
Xu Fu gave his assistant a wink, signaling him to send the two men out directly.
Although Xu Fu was not famous, his assistant was still quite perceptive.
She told the female lead to wait outside while she went downstairs alone to book rooms for the two of them.
After checking in with the two people's information, they had the housekeeper politely escort them to their room...
After the assistant and the others had walked away, he couldn't wait to go back.
I plan to go to Xu Fu to curry favor.
But when she returned to the celebration, she searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of Xu Fu.
He randomly pulled aside a manager and asked him about Xu Fu's whereabouts—
"The president has already gone back, he was just short of you."
The manager looked at the president's favorite person with a completely bewildered expression.
She asked, puzzled, "Didn't the CEO tell you?"
The assistant looked embarrassed and subtly released his grip on the other person's arm.
Unwilling to give up, she asked, "Did the president give any instructions before he left?!"
"The CEO said directly, this month's salary will be doubled, for everyone—"
"Each person has five days of annual leave, which can be arranged by various departments."
The assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief and wandered around the celebration for a while longer.
They also ran away quietly.
