Chapter 830: I Have a Bit of OCD

“Slap!”

President Chen nearly had a heart attack from Secretary Wu’s ridiculous self-righteous stunt. He raised his hand and landed a hard slap on Secretary Wu’s face, cursing, “Are you the one being arrogant here? Who do you think you are? Who gave you the guts to speak to Young Master Xu like that?!”

At first, he was confused by what Xu Shaochen meant by, “Your secretary is quite something.” Now he understood the meaning behind that sentence.

It was a sarcastic remark directed at him.

Clearly, before he arrived, Secretary Wu had offended this important figure due to his lack of awareness.

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Secretary Wu was stunned. “President Chen… why… why did you hit me?”

Li Anjie was even more bewildered, because he seemed to hear President Chen refer to Xu Shaochen as ‘Young Master Xu’.

Xu Shaochen a young master? He suddenly had a bad premonition.

“I slapped you because you’re an idiot who has no sense!”

President Chen shouted furiously before rushing over to Xu Shaochen’s side, filled with fear and trembling as he apologized: “Young Master Xu, please calm your anger. It’s all my fault. I hired such an oblivious fool as a secretary. I deserve punishment. Don’t worry, Young Master Xu, I will definitely give you a proper explanation.”

Right now, his heart was pounding in his chest, and cold sweat had soaked his back. It felt as if he were a criminal about to be sentenced.

After all, he had witnessed Xu Shaochen’s authority firsthand in the Conference Room.

Swoosh! Li Anjie and Secretary Wu were dumbfounded by what they saw. It was as if their heads had been hit with a hammer, buzzing.

What did they just witness? The vice president of Xu Corporation’s human resources department, bowing and scraping to Xu Shaochen, begging for forgiveness.

Then… what kind of person is Xu Shaochen? And what will be the consequences for them after having humiliated him earlier? Their backs were soaked with cold sweat, their whole bodies chilled as if their blood had frozen.

Secretary Wu glared at Li Anjie furiously, cursing his ancestors in his heart. ‘That was supposed to be just a driver, the hell is this?!’

Li Anjie was equally aggrieved. ‘How was I supposed to know that Rolls-Royce was his? Usually, bosses don’t drive them themselves, right? Aren’t they driven by their chauffeurs?’ Both of them were filled with fear, unease, and regret.

“Fire the both of them. Xu Corporation isn’t a trash bin. We don’t need garbage.”

Xu Shaochen’s cold gaze swept over them as he said calmly.

President Chen shivered. “Understood, Young Master Xu, don’t worry. I will have their paperwork processed immediately.”

He breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn’t him being fired.

Secretary Wu and Li Anjie turned pale with fright, almost simultaneously falling to their knees. They crawled over to Xu Shaochen’s feet, sobbing.

“Young Master Xu, please spare us. We were blind and didn’t recognize who you were. Please forgive us, Young Master, give us one more chance.”

“President Chen, please speak up for me! President Chen—” Secretary Wu grabbed President Chen’s foot, trying to take a roundabout route.

“Bang!”

President Chen kicked him away. “Get lost! Get out of here now!”

Damn, you almost dragged me down with you, and you want me to speak up for you? Like hell I would!

“Young Master Xu… no, Shaochen, we were classmates, three years of high school! Please, for the sake of our past friendship, let me go.”

Li Anjie started playing the sympathy card, crying pathetically with snot and tears streaming down his face, looking utterly pitiable.

“Friendship? Sorry, that was used up the moment I called to get you through Xu Corporation’s job application.”

Xu Shaochen looked down at him coldly, an obvious trace of ridicule in his gaze.

Li Anjie froze on the spot. He had no idea that the reason he even got hired at Xu Corporation was because of Xu Shaochen.

Thinking back on how he had bragged in front of Xu Shaochen earlier, his face turned red with embarrassment, burning as though he had been slapped several times.

His previous pride and self-satisfaction now seemed like a pathetic joke.

“Shaochen, I was wrong. I truly know my mistake now. Please give me one more chance, just one last chance.”

Li Anjie kept kowtowing to Xu Shaochen, his face full of desperation.

“Young Master Xu, I have elderly parents and young children. Please spare me, I swear I won’t do it again!”

Secretary Wu, seeing that President Chen wouldn’t plead for him, also kowtowed to Xu Shaochen in desperation.

At this moment, he deeply regretted his actions. If only he had acted differently earlier.

“Spare you? I have OCD. First, lick up that spit you just spat, then we’ll talk.”

Xu Shaochen smiled mockingly, his tone casual.

Secretary Wu froze, his expression wavering. Finally, he gritted his teeth and bent down to start licking the spit he’d just spat out.

What had been intended to humiliate Xu Shaochen was now making him suffer a humiliation far worse. He was filled with bitter sorrow.

Li Anjie, watching from the side, almost threw up. He didn’t expect Secretary Wu to actually do it and lick it clean.

Secretary Wu’s face was pale as he looked at Xu Shaochen. “Young Master Xu… I licked it clean already… Does this mean… you will spare me now?”

“Did I ever promise you anything? Idiot. So you think I’ll spare you? Sure, maybe in your next life.”

Xu Shaochen said with a sneer before walking out of the private room without looking back.

Secretary Wu kneeled there, stupefied, unable to react. After a long while, he collapsed on the floor, his eyes slowly losing focus.

Li Anjie wasn’t much better off. He had completely missed the chance to curry favor with an old classmate, regretting ever looking down on him.

“You were classmates with Young Master Xu? Do you even know who he is? He’s the heir to the Xu Corporation empire. In other words, he’s the future chairman of Xu Corporation. You really are a fool.”

President Chen shook his head as he looked at Li Anjie, the mockery and pity clear in his eyes, before quickly following after Xu Shaochen out of the room.

He had something to discuss with Xu Shaochen, and this was a perfect opportunity.

President Chen’s words hit Li Anjie like a thunderbolt. His mind went completely blank.

Xu Shaochen is the heir to Xu Corporation. The future chairman.

While unbelievable, he had no choice but to accept this fact. After all, President Chen had said it himself.

“Waaahhhhh~”

Li Anjie suddenly burst into tears. The bright future and wealth that had been within his grasp had now been utterly destroyed by his own hands.

Honestly, at this point, he felt like ending his own life. Truly, as they say, if you court disaster, you will meet it.
