"Having worked at Xiao Group’s branch for so many years, I actually know that Xiao Group can’t really develop in this industry, yet our industry has developed. It’s all because of the new president but chairman, what are you doing now? Supporting outsiders and discouraging your own people? No matter how you look at it, the branch is still part of Xiao Group, yet you come to our branch to question us without understanding the situation. Don’t you think it’s too much? Our president has been staying up late for all of this, and you’ve never asked about it."

Chang Jingshu felt particularly indignant at this moment, speaking without pause, and her voice was exceptionally loud. Suddenly, all the surrounding noise stopped. Looking at Chang Jingshu, maybe this was what everyone found most aggravating.

Why can the chairman deny everyone’s efforts just because he’s the chairman? That’s absolutely unacceptable. What if you’re the chairman?

Seeing the branch employees all refusing to work, Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment. Was all of this caused by Xu Ke? No, it’s because the branch employees accomplished this, what does it have to do with Xu Ke? What can someone who hasn’t even graduated from elementary school do?

"I still hope the chairman considers carefully. After all, our press conference was first, and our anime already has many episodes. But look, their Yu Group just started promo for their anime and it flopped."

After speaking, Chang Jingshu firmly stood beside Xu Ke, determined to prevent anyone else from taking over the branch. Over the years, many presidents have come and gone, but what have those presidents done? Not a bit of growth for the branch, instead, they’ve pushed it backwards.

At this point, Xiao Zhen cared most about his pride. At headquarters, no one ever shouted at him, but upon arriving at the branch, even the receptionist yelled at him. And now even a branch vice president won’t listen to him?

This is a branch, supposedly a subordinate company, yet it’s been made into such a brazen business. All of this is because of Xu Ke, this guy. If not for Xu Ke, the branch would still be its humble old self.

Other branch presidents all come to flatter him, bringing gifts and wearing sycophantic smiles. But at this branch, it’s as if the skies have turned.

What’s this branch? Seems like they’re trying to become my superior. Xiao Zhen threw his car keys on the ground in anger.

"Am I wrong here? Their Yu Group’s leader graduated from abroad and has some foundation. You know how depressed the domestic anime market is. How could someone uneducated know these concepts? Isn’t he just stealing ideas? Isn’t this the truth? What can you explain?"

Upon hearing this, the grassroots employees became furious but dared not speak out, keeping their grievances to themselves. How could this be? Clearly, they had worked overtime to achieve these results. With this success, everyone’s salary increased significantly.

Thinking of this, the grassroots employees felt they were being excessive, shouldn’t speak that way about their president. Maybe it was precisely because of the president that they had a chance to get a raise. But now, is their revenue going to stop?

Xu Ke looked at Xiao Zhen jumping around in fury, coldly chuckling. Isn’t this all Xiao Zhen had left? Only the patience to hear others speak but never listens to his own people, even viewing them as enemies.

If this is how you develop a company, it would have closed down long ago. Luckily Old Mr. Xiao is overseeing Xiao Group; otherwise, what would Xiao Group have become?

"Since you accuse me of stealing Yu Group’s secrets, tell me what secrets I supposedly stole, what content of ours overlaps with theirs. Chairman, please enumerate it. If you can do so today, I will voluntarily resign from all positions at the branch, apologize to all employees, and from now on, I’ll never set foot in the anime industry."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, everyone was instantly shocked. How is this possible?

The president is clearly a genius in this field, yet to prove the work was entirely the branch’s doing, he’s willing to sacrifice his own interests, and suddenly, all employees were teary-eyed. Some female staff couldn’t help but cry.

"The headquarters chairman is truly overbearing. I saw on Weibo they say we plagiarized Yu Group’s content. I scrutinized it, our details do not align with theirs. Why then is everyone so strict with our anime?"

"I suspect the chairman is a spy sent by Yu Group. He doesn’t care about our branch and accuses us of plagiarism, although we clearly initiated our work earlier!"

"The president is truly pitiful. To verify the work was done by all of us, he sacrificed his own interests and is now leaving the industry. What will happen to the president after this?"

Just when Hong Xuan arrived, he heard Xu Ke’s words. Knowing Xu Ke was impulsive, however, Hong Xuan understands the chairman’s temper better than anyone.

The chairman has always been willful in his actions; if any similar plot is found, wouldn’t this destroy Xu Ke’s life completely?

"Chairman, please don’t get upset. You also know our president is impulsive, so take his words lightly."

Hong Xuan couldn’t help but plead for Xu Ke, afraid Xu Ke’s life would be destroyed by this. Hearing these words, Xiao Zhen was instantly excited; worried about not being able to expel this person, surprised he’s handing himself over. Since that’s the case, he’s not going to hold back.

"I see the publicity department’s head has surely misunderstood. When working at our headquarters, didn’t act this way. Does the publicity department’s head have any new ideas? If he wants to help your president take the blame, that’s possible too."

At this moment, Xiao Zhen didn’t spare Hong Xuan considering the old man’s regard, and spoke particularly unpleasant words, making Hong Xuan’s face turn beet red.

"Alright, Uncle, don’t plead for me. I’ve made up my mind on this matter. Our branch hasn’t done anything wrong; with justice on our side, why fear shadows?"
