"Sometimes, people shouldn’t be too concerned with what’s right in front of them. The best thing is to keep their job first. As long as you keep your job, won’t there be opportunities later?"

Nodding, indeed, I was overthinking. The president couldn’t possibly have any issues with me, and the president is so kind; otherwise, the last project and role wouldn’t have been given to me.

"I really envy you. We both joined the company at the same time, but look at you now. Your development is out of my reach. I hope you’ll give me a hand in the future."

The person speaking at this moment was Zhang Li’s college classmate. However, this classmate was lucky to have a lenient mentor, and most tasks were completed by his mentor, so he didn’t learn much. Coupled with his complacency, his chances for promotion were slim, almost hopeless.

In contrast, Zhang Li wasn’t very diligent during university, but he had a big temper. Anyone who looked down on him fueled his determination to work hard.

"Alright, stop making fun of me. There’s no conclusion on this matter yet. If the president finds out, we’ll both be done."

Upon hearing this from Zhang Li, the classmate found it amusing but knew that Zhang Li was a low-profile person, so he said no more.

However, because of what Xue Sen said to Zhang Li, Zhang Li prepared even more thoroughly, including this trip to the rural and city branch of the Xu Group. So, in the middle of the night, he researched a lot about Xu Ke and was increasingly amazed. He didn’t expect the president of Xiao Group’s branch, who wasn’t even literate, to have such a legendary story, and that this anime was personally selected by the branch’s president.

This made Zhang Li more and more interested, even looking forward to visiting the headquarters.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke had finished a long day of work and was extremely tired. He intended to go home and rest, but as soon as he stepped into the parking lot, a shrill ringtone echoed through the garage.

Checking his phone, he saw it was an international number.

Could it be that Fox had found a lead on his mother and called him? But that shouldn’t be the case. With Fox’s ability, he had been investigating domestically for half a month, but could he really find something overseas in just a few days?

This was definitely impossible. It would already be impressive if Fox could gather information within a month, so whose call could this be?

Xu Ke thought for a while and put the phone back in his pocket. After all, he hadn’t collaborated with any foreign companies lately, although he had recently received several international calls, all of which were sales offers. Xu Ke naturally had no interest in answering them.

Wang Cuixia was disappointed when her call wasn’t answered. Did her son hate her already?

In her son’s heart, maybe she was just such a villain. Otherwise, what kind of mother would abandon her own son? Thinking of this, tears welled up in Wang Cuixia’s eyes and wouldn’t stop.

"Alright, Miss, don’t cry anymore. Besides, we’ve already changed our phone number, and the young master doesn’t know our number. You shouldn’t blame yourself. After all, the young master has a hard time now. It’s normal for him not to answer foreign numbers. Maybe you should try calling a few more times?"

Wang Cuixia shook her head. She really hadn’t understood her son much over the years. After all, her son was in a coma for so long, and when he finally woke up, he left her.

"Alright, he should be resting by now, and there’s a time difference between here and there. You should go out and work early; I’ll just stay here alone for a while." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Uncle Li didn’t know what to say. This was yet another time the young miss wanted to be left alone, and if she continued like this, she might drive herself mad.

"How about this, Miss? You sit here and rest for a while. I’ll try calling the number. Perhaps the president will pick up after seeing the number call repeatedly. Besides, the young master is a president now; he might be busy. You have to understand that someone as talented as the young master will surely make great strides in the future."

Wang Cuixia nodded perfunctorily, sitting on the tatami, sipping coffee. Though the coffee was bitter, it smoothly suppressed the faint ache in her heart.

Fox had already extended the search abroad, but unexpectedly, his subordinates reported encountering people from the Xu Group, and it seemed they were looking for someone too. This made him frown. The Xu Group? He hadn’t heard about them in recent years.

Moreover, they used to have some cooperation with the Xu Group. If the Xu Group was looking for someone, why didn’t they seek cooperation with them? Could it be because their last cooperation with the Xu Group didn’t end well and thus this collaboration would be canceled too? This Xu patriarch—

"Boss, I bumped into Mr. Xu’s assistant and discreetly asked him. He said Mr. Xu is personally looking for someone this time, and that it’s particularly important. I’m not sure if Mr. Xu has found the person yet. Should you go over and ask?"

Upon hearing what his subordinate said, Fox nodded: "It’s indeed a pity they didn’t collaborate with us. But since it’s the Xu Group, we should remain courteous. And regarding finding Wang Cuixia, make sure not to disclose this in front of Mr. Xu. It’s the client’s secret; if anyone finds out, we won’t be able to handle the consequences."

Hearing the boss, the subordinate nodded: "Boss, rest assured. We’ve been following you and handling this matter for a long time. How could we possibly reveal the client’s secret? Besides, we’re mainly tasked by Mr. Xu this time, so maybe we should delay heading to Mr. Xu for a bit?"

Fox thought it made sense. Dealing with Mr. Xu many years ago, he knew the old man might appear kind and gentle, but if not handled well, you could easily fall into his traps. He was full of schemes.

"Alright, when you go out looking, be careful not to alert the others. If there are any unexpected situations, make sure to call me. Don’t act on your own. You all remember clearly the accident caused by our unauthorized actions last time."

Hearing Fox’s words, the subordinates shuddered. Last time, they were mainly searching for a criminal gang but accidentally alerted them, causing several brothers to get injured.

And that’s not all; they mainly coordinated with the authorities to find people, but they also disrupted governmental operations. The boss was very apologetic back then and kept apologizing to the officials.

But after that operation, the boss not only punished them but also confined himself.

"Alright, boss, we get it. We’ll be careful and keep you updated as we gather information."
