Chapter 1123: The Secrets of the Corporation
The chubby boy was afraid that the girl would anger Xuan'er, so he secretly tugged at her hand from the side. However, the girl showed no sign of giving in and her gaze remained sharp, as if she was waiting for Xuan'er's answer.
Xuan'er glanced at the girl in the red dress, smiled slightly, and the hard ice shell on her body cracked and slowly shattered, revealing Xuan'er's kind side.
"You're right, I was rude. My name is Xuan'er, what are your names?"
Rosa was surprised that Xuan'er's mood changed so quickly. She paused for a moment before introducing them: "My name is Rosa, his name is Katie, and over there are Jin and Jane."
After looking at the four friends here, Xuan'er greeted them.
Seeing Xuan'er's kind expression, Katie patted her chest and said, "You looked so scary just now, I didn't dare to talk to you."
Xuan'er shrugged and said, "I had no choice. I was afraid the people outside hadn't left yet, so I had to pretend. I didn't want them to think I was easy to bully."
Seeing that Xuan'er's tone had changed, Katie believed him and seemed ready to open up. But Rosa remained wary and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why does even Wilson bow down to you?"
Is Wilson very capable?
Jin, who had caught up from behind, nodded and said, "Of course! My dad always says that if you can get close to Wilson, you'll have a chance to get promoted!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan'er looked disdainful and said, "Instead of currying favor with Wilson, you should try to please me. If I say a word to your great-grandfather, I guarantee your father won't have to struggle for ten years!"
Hearing Xuan'er's confident tone, Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is your great-grandfather?"
"My great-grandfather's name was Xiao Jincheng."
The children weren't very familiar with the Chinese name, and after glancing at each other, they all seemed equally confused. Only Rosa, who had heard her mother talk about the company's history, vaguely remembered the name Xiao Jincheng.
“Xiao Jincheng…” Rosa’s eyes darted around, then she suddenly slapped her forehead and asked, “Could it be Jim Xiao, the president of the Xiao Group?”
He nodded casually, which was taken as tacit agreement with Rosa's words.
Everyone was shocked to see that Xuan'er actually agreed with Rosa's words, and they looked at Xuan'er as if she were an alien.
Xuan'er seemed oblivious to this change, pointing to the glittering amusement facilities in front of her and suggesting, "Hey, how about we play on this Thunder Fighter together?"
Actually, Xuan'er didn't really like these unexciting amusement facilities; sitting on them only made her drowsy. But in order to get the information she wanted, Xuan'er could only pretend to be very interested and suggest them to everyone.
Although they were still children, they knew they couldn't object to Xuan'er's words. They nodded and followed behind Xuan'er, boarding the Thunder Fighter.
As the plane swayed, Xuan'er glanced at everyone seemingly casually and asked, "You all seem very familiar with this place. Is it because your parents often work overtime?"
"Yes, in order to get promoted and get a higher position, you have to work very hard."
“That’s right. Dad said that in order to pay off the family’s mortgage, we have to work hard, otherwise we’ll have to move back to our old little house.”
The chattering of the friends gave Xuan'er a general understanding of their family situations. After a moment's thought, she frowned and said, "But I heard from my great-grandfather that the company's performance wasn't very good this year, so why do we still have to work overtime?"
"Is business not good?" Rosa looked at Xuan'er curiously and said, "But my mom works in the finance department, and she seems really busy lately. If business wasn't good, she wouldn't be this busy." Xuan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked again, "What does your mom manage in the finance department?"
"Hmm... it's about company taxes, I think. I don't know the specifics."
Finance and taxation...
Xuan'er memorized this message and then asked, "Has the company laid off any people recently? Um, I mean, the kids I used to see here all the time, suddenly they're gone?"
“Yes,” Katie said, pointing to the children’s playground. “It used to be packed on weekends, and you’d even have to queue up for whatever you wanted to play. But now, as you can see, there are only a few of us. It’s much quieter now.”
"Oh, I see..." Xuan'er deliberately put on a heartbroken look and said, "Those who were laid off probably still have mortgages to pay and parents and children to support. If they lose their jobs, life will definitely be very hard."
Rosa was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Xuan'er, can you really persuade the president?"
"It depends on the situation," Xuan'er said in a nonchalant tone, giving Rosa a deep look. "What, is it that your mommy wants a promotion and to make a fortune?"
Rosa shook her head and said, "No, it's my good friend Nancy. Her dad was laid off. He's a very good programmer, but he was fired for no reason, so Nancy doesn't have money to go to kindergarten anymore."
"How could this happen?" Xuan'er said indignantly. "Don't worry, I will definitely talk to my great-grandfather about this. I won't let the company miss out on such a talented person!"
Hearing Xuan'er's promise, Rosa looked very happy and said, "If Nancy knew that her father could come back, she would definitely be very happy! I heard from Nancy that her father used to control the entire operating system of the company. No one could leave the company without his father leaving. I really don't understand why it has become like this."
Xuan'er feigned curiosity and asked, "What's Nancy's father's name?"
"I don't know his exact name either. We usually just call him Uncle Rudolf."
Rudolf...
Xuan'er wanted to ask something more, but then Wilson appeared from behind the door with a fawning smile and asked, "Young Master, have you rested well? The CEO wants to see you."
With a disdainful glare at Wilson, Xuan'er lazily jumped off the Thunder Fighter, then turned around, waved to her friends, and said, "I'm leaving now, I'll play with you guys next time."
Wilson clenched his fists, but his smile remained unchanged. Only when Xuan'er couldn't see him would a fierce glint appear in his eyes.
Upon arriving at the CEO's private lounge, Xuan'er ran happily to Xiao Jincheng's side and asked with concern, "Great-Grandpa, are you rested enough? Can we go home now?"
Seeing that Xuan'er seemed to be in a hurry to go home, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Don't you find the company fun? Or are your subordinates not taking good care of you?"
