Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1418: I’m Just Being Unreasonable

Xu Ke looked at the stunned Su Zining and snorted coldly. This Su Zining really thought he had some ability, wanting to have a place in the Xiao Group without considering whether he could swallow the entire animation industry at once.

When he started in the animation industry, he aimed to build it up during its lowest point to prove his worth. As for Su Zining, he was merely someone who wanted to steal others’ hard work and wasn’t worth the concern.

Facing the reporters’ cameras, Xu Ke remained unflustered and calmly responded, "I currently believe no one in the country is doing better in the animation industry than me, so I’m not concerned about being accused of plagiarism. There’s nothing to plagiarize from inferior work anyway. I can’t even find any merit in them. As for those who accuse me of plagiarism, you can see for yourself who is actually copying whom. I’m confident everyone’s eyes are bright and clear, and I don’t need to explain further. Those who can see through this will naturally be the so-called wise. As for those who can’t, I think I don’t need to say much more."

With Xu Ke’s words, everyone fell silent, especially the reporters present. They had planned to find Xu Ke in the past days to understand this plagiarism issue.

But with Xu Ke’s statement, could it be that he was calling them fools?

Plus, there were a lot of people online saying that the Xiao Group was plagiarizing. Could it be false?

Suddenly, all the reporters felt anxious. Why hadn’t they done their homework before coming? They had just looked at online opinions, and now it seemed everything needed further deliberation.

Now with Xu Ke’s statement, the reporters’ questions vanished. If they really asked, wouldn’t they be torn apart by Xu Ke’s retort? So, one by one, the reporters backed away with forced smiles on their faces.

"Oh, so that’s how it is. It seems the public needs to discern this carefully. We won’t disturb you any further. It appears today’s situation was a misunderstanding. We will come again another day. If the Xiao Group needs us, we won’t hesitate to help. Please, don’t be too formal with us, Boss."

"Yes, indeed. I initially thought it couldn’t be plagiarism. Now it seems everything was deliberately staged. We were foolish."

"Then, we’ll leave first and won’t interrupt your discussions. However, if there are any changes in the subsidiary’s presidential position, we hope the Xiao Group will not shy away. We journalists will speak favorably on your behalf."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen was furious. It’s all because of that fool Su Zining. Now, even the reporters think the subsidiary might change presidents, but Xiao Zhen once considered this too. Looking at today, apart from Xu Ke, who else can lead this industry?

"These matters are not for you reporters to worry about. Furthermore, when our Xiao Group changes the subsidiary’s president has little benefit to you journalists."

Xiao Zhen’s words left the reporters flustered, especially since rumors had been circulating that the Xiao Group was going to change the subsidiary’s president.

But now it appeared these rumors were false, and it seemed Xiao Zhen and Xu Ke didn’t have such a poor relationship.

So, the reporters all started contemplating and hurried back to write their reports.

Watching the reporters leave, Xu Ke glanced at Xiao Zhen with eyes devoid of warmth. This man had come with such aggression. In front of the reporters, Xu Ke could have completely exposed Xiao Zhen’s true nature, but for the sake of Xiao Keyi, he refrained.

He just wanted to give Xiao Zhen some face, after all, this man would be his future father-in-law. If everything was laid bare, perhaps Xiao Zhen would hate him more, which wasn’t the result Xu Ke wanted.

The assistant beside Xiao Zhen looked at Xu Ke, knowing that their Headquarters was indeed at fault for coming this time, so he smiled warmly: "Our work inspection is complete, and we hope the subsidiary’s president continues to work hard. Your work this time has been praised by all the board members at Headquarters, and perhaps this industry will become the strongest branch in the subsidiary, even surpassing Headquarters. Our chairman holds high hopes for you."

The assistant’s words hinted at a desire to resolve tensions between Headquarters and the subsidiary and alleviate Xiao Zhen’s current embarrassment.

However, to Su Zining’s ears, it sounded different. Su Zining originally thought he was Xiao Zhen’s son-in-law and could get what he deserved, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case, and he was facing being cast aside.

Could it be that because of his recent changes, Xiao Zhen was planning to revoke his status as a son-in-law?

At this moment, Xiao Zhen was extremely frustrated. Although he disliked Xu Ke, he couldn’t get rid of him, and cast a vicious glare.

"Don’t think that just because you got lucky this time, I can’t deal with you. Think carefully, this is a subsidiary of the Xiao Group, and I’m fully capable of dealing with a kid like you."

"Don’t think just because you’ve gained some independence that I can’t touch you. Remember, in the Xiao Group, whatever happens, I am the Boss."

Xiao Zhen’s words were flaunting his status, reminding Xu Ke that he was just an employee of the Xiao Group.

Facing Xiao Zhen’s childish behavior, Xu Ke wasn’t offended. Instead, he felt that this old man probably craved power so much that he became fearful. But this man was ultimately Xiao Keyi’s father.

"I’m well aware of everything. You are the chairman of the Xiao Group, and as the subsidiary’s president, I have the right to generate profit for Headquarters. Rest assured, chairman, regarding next month’s revenue, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

This time, Xu Ke didn’t oppose Xiao Zhen directly, which left Xiao Zhen momentarily stunned.

He didn’t expect this kid to have moments of yielding. Speaking of next month’s revenue, Xiao Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up. With this kid’s ability and the current trending state of animation, next month would likely yield an even better performance.

However, he couldn’t show it on his face, so he arrogantly lifted his chin, looking down on everyone.

"I hope you live up to your words. Anyway, I don’t believe a word you say. Stay away from my daughter. If I find out you’re still pestering her, I won’t be polite. I’m someone who doesn’t separate personal from public matters, anyway, I..."

I am unreasonable, and you can do nothing about it.
