Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Begging for Mercy

"Oh, getting angry out of embarrassment? Seeing you still have the energy to talk back to me, I know you’ve been doing well recently. It makes me happy to see you thriving; it’s a relief for the elders at home." Xu Ke’s smile became genuine.

But in Chairman Hu’s eyes, Xu Ke’s demeanor was nothing short of bizarre and provocative, reminding him of the old man who had controlled the Xu Corporation for decades. Chairman Hu’s face gradually turned pale, his heart pounding relentlessly.

At the time of action, he simply felt a rush of success, but as time passed, fear began to gnaw at his mind, especially after Xu Ke’s prior words. For a whole week, he was plagued by nightmares; every time he closed his eyes, images of the Xu family’s deaths would flash in his mind. They called for justice in his dreams every night, leaving him tortured and sleepless.

"Hmph, I won’t argue with you, a mere brat, right here. We’ll see each other later!" Chairman Hu said, struggling to maintain his commanding presence.

"See you later, then." Having achieved his goal, Xu Ke lost interest in speaking further, his smirk quickly fading as he replied coldly.

Watching Chairman Hu enter the elevator, Xu Ke finally turned around to face the receptionist who had stopped him.

"Go collect this month’s salary from finance later. You don’t need to come back anymore." Xu Ke told her.

"What do you mean? I don’t quite understand." The receptionist’s smile could no longer be maintained; her eyes filled with fear and desperation, hoping what she just heard was false. But the truth is often cruel.

"It means I’m firing you as the company’s president. Starting today, you’re no longer an employee of the Xu Corporation." Xu Ke bluntly repeated.
