Chapter 1413: Denying the Achievement
Chapter 1413: Denying the Achievement
Sure, here is the translation:

"The chairman of the headquarters has come over, and he’s causing a scene in the lobby right now. You should hurry down and take a look. The vice president is there holding the fort alone. I don’t know how long he can hold on. You know that last time the chairman came, it turned everything upside down. Who knows what he’s planning this time."
Secretary Zhou was trembling at this moment. Just thinking about Xiao Zhen, last time was too rash and almost cost her job. But this time, Xiao Zhen seems serious and isn’t afraid of anyone exposing the situation.
Xu Ke sighed helplessly. With someone like Xiao Zhen leading the Xiao Group, it’s truly a tragedy for the company. If things continue like this, the Xiao Group will collapse under Xiao Zhen’s leadership. No wonder the old man kept grooming Xiao Keyi.
The reason is that Xiao Zhen can’t do anything right, yet insists on handling everything himself without any competence. Now it seems perhaps the old man was right after all.
"Alright, I’ll go down and see. For now, don’t alert the headquarters about anything."
"Remember, whatever happens today, don’t let the media get involved. If the reporters come, things will be even harder to resolve. The tension will all be on our Xiao Group, giving the Yu Group room to breathe."
Currently, Yu Hao would love for the Xiao Group to fight. As long as there’s internal conflict, they won’t focus on development. And if the leadership changes, the animation division won’t succeed. Hence, Xu Ke thinks Yu Hao’s tactic is just to escalate the situation more and lure Xiao Zhen over.
Unfortunately, Yu Hao’s meticulous calculations didn’t anticipate that Xiao Zhen is truly an incompatible partner, stubborn and headstrong, listening to no one. How could he be a puppet in Yu Hao’s hands?
Just as Xu Ke went down, before he could say anything, Xiao Zhen was already storming over, looking furious, like he was ready to hit someone, making everyone nervous for Xu Ke.
Though the CEO usually seemed high and mighty, when it came to the headquarters chairman, wouldn’t he have to back down as well?
And some grassroots employees were hoping Xu Ke would have bad luck. Only if Xu Ke had misfortune would they get a breather. After all, under Xu Ke’s regime, working conditions for grassroots employees were really hard, no time for slacking off, working every day was exhausting, and the tasks were extremely challenging, requiring constant learning.
"I think now that the headquarters chairman is here, perhaps our CEO is finally going to have some bad luck. Just hope the headquarters chairman doesn’t give our CEO a chance to turn things around so we can have some breathing space. Otherwise, being bullied every day by this heartless tyrant, I’ve really had enough of this kind of work."
"Right, at my best friend’s company, once you get in, no one cares. You can practically play all day with no real work to do. Unlike our company, where there are tasks every day, and we still have to learn. Aren’t we graduates from prestigious universities? What don’t we know? Why should we have to learn every day?"
"Alright, say less. Haven’t you noticed things are about to turn into a fight over there? Do you wish for the worst possible outcome?"
Looking again, Xiao Zhen was about to hit Xu Ke, but his hand stopped mid-air, while Xu Ke tightly grasped his hand, sneering: "Why has the chairman come to our branch? Is there any guidance? I remember last month’s revenue list was already sent to the headquarters. Is there any dissatisfaction? If the chairman is displeased, you can take a closer look at those revenue lists and the context. Please don’t listen to falsehoods and come targeting me."
Xu Ke had made it very clear, hoping Xiao Zhen would look at those lists and understand the situation, and not be reckless.
But it turned out Xiao Zhen didn’t want to hear any of this and was convinced that Xu Ke plagiarized the Yu Group. Otherwise, why would the Yu Group be so upset?
"Now, what else can you say to me? Our Xiao Group has already hit the trending news, and everyone is laughing at us. Don’t you see? Do you have to plagiarize the Yu Group? Do you think their creations are yours? But you don’t have any real talent."
Xiao Zhen’s words were particularly harsh, and the surrounding employees heard it. They didn’t expect it to be about this issue, and their expressions changed suddenly.
Although the company’s animation had been released a while ago, and all grassroots employees were involved, everyone was thrilled with their hard-won achievements.
But now the chairman of the headquarters claims it’s all plagiarized from the Yu Group, which is impossible, as it was their own work. Even the grassroots employees were filled with anger and injustice.
"How is that possible? Clearly, all of this was done through our overtime and hard work. Now, the chairman’s words directly negate all our efforts. This is too much. Although the chairman has issues with the CEO, you can’t deny everyone’s effort. If it goes on like this, what’s left of our company’s existence?"
"I originally thought our branch finally had something profitable, but now it seems the headquarters doesn’t appreciate any of it. Are we just plagiarizers in the headquarters’ eyes? Are all our efforts so insignificant?"
"Even though I dislike the CEO for making us work overtime, often learning new fields that seem difficult, our labor cannot be dismissed with a single sentence. So we must resist together. If we don’t resist, we’ll likely face layoffs."
The ordinary employees were all unwilling to put up with it, and the assistant following Xiao Zhen had a sinking feeling seeing this situation unfold.
The assistant knew someone like Xu Ke, lacking capability, would never earn the employees’ respect. Which of these employees didn’t graduate from a prestigious university, brimming with pride and dignity, impossible to submit to a CEO? However, the current situation seemed altogether different.
Especially seeing the vice president, Chang Jingshu, standing nearby, eyes red with particular disappointment.
"Chairman, I think you might be misunderstanding our CEO. Everything was a collective effort by our branch. Are you denying everyone’s results? Do you really want to attribute it all to the Yu Group?"
