The industry Xu Ke took over was a casino in Ning City, so for Xu Ke, wiping out the 300,000 debt for the sisters’ parents was a piece of cake.
Finding a place for the two sisters to live could be said to be both simple and sowhat challenging.
When the two left ho earlier, they didn’t bring anything with them. Renting an apartnt, buying clothes for the sisters, and daily toiletries were all significant expenses.
Although they had already borrowed 300,000 from Xu Ke, the sisters still found it difficult to ask for more money from him.
They always felt that doing so would make them no different from beggars, shalessly taking advantage of Xu Ke’s kindness for their own benefit.
The sisters originally had jobs at S.H., and if they could stick it out for a month, they would be able to cover their daily expenses.
But S.H. wasn’t a good place. Although it paid well, a lot had to be sacrificed, and the sisters didn’t want to beco people like that.
So the next day, they resigned from S.H. Originally, their resignation wouldn’t have been approved, but since Xu Ke was the one who took them, it was a different story.
Imagining that the sisters were being kept by Xu Ke and then allowing them to work at S.H. was akin to slapping oneself in the face.
Thinking they understood the whole situation, the HR person breezily processed their resignations, though because the sisters hadn’t been there long, their final pay wasn’t much.
Between them, they could only afford so basic toiletries and a couple of changes of clothes.
Seeing how tight the sisters were on money, Xu Ke said, "Why don’t you both stay at my place for now? I happen to have two spare rooms, so it won’t be a problem for you two to live there."
"How can we do that? You’ve helped us so much already; how could we shalessly eat and live at your expense?" Before Guoguo could speak, Tangtang stood up first, with a disapproving expression.
"What are you thinking? I wouldn’t let you stay here for free. I’m often ho alone, and I also have soone co by to clean, and I order takeout for als. With you two living here, you can handle the household cleaning and cooking as rent." Xu Ke suggested.
"This ti, don’t refuse. The money isn’t just for you; it’s for anyone. It doesn’t matter to who it’s for." Seeing the sisters’ hesitant expressions, Xu Ke said.
When the sisters heard this, gratitude appeared on their faces, as if they were looking at a benefactor of legendary generosity.
Even though Xu Ke said it didn’t matter to him who received the money, and even though he included them in chores, the sisters knew it was different; Xu Ke was looking out for them.
Given the location of Xu Ke’s house, the rent wouldn’t be cheap. Even if they cleaned daily and cooked for Xu Ke, it couldn’t cover the rent.
Even hiring a maid for a month wouldn’t cost much.
Thinking of all Xu Ke had done for them, their gratitude only grew.
"You’re truly kind. eting you, that’s a blessing we’ve earned in a past life. Rest assured, we’ll keep your house spotless and make good food. We can cook many delicious dishes." Guoguo said.
"That’s great. Here are the house keys. I’ll be heading to work now." Xu Ke said with a smile.
Leaving the house, Xu Ke headed straight to the casino. Even though it was dayti, the casino was brightly lit, bustling with people and filled with a cacophony of sounds, creating a particularly noisy scene.
Though it was Xu Ke’s first visit, no one dared cause trouble because of Brother Xiong’s orders. Xu Ke successfully reached the top floor of the casino.
"Starting today, I am the person in charge of the casino. I hope we can collaborate well in the days ahead as you hand over all matters to ." Xu Ke said to the already gathered group in the room.
"We don’t mind handing over matters to you; Brother Xiong spoke for you, but you should show us your abilities. Otherwise, how can we respect you?" soone said.
Following the voice, Xu Ke saw a punk with bleached blonde hair, smoky makeup, and tal adornnts all over.
"Brother Xiong acknowledging and placing here ans I have the ability. Whether you acknowledge or not, does it matter if Brother Xiong already has? I don’t need your heartfelt respect or acknowledgnt; I only need your compliance." Xu Ke said with a smile.
"This isn’t just for you but for everyone present. Even if you don’t say it, I know you don’t respect , but that doesn’t matter. Your thoughts are unimportant to . If you comply, you can stay in your current positions, but if not, I can easily replace you with people loyal to ." Xu Ke said to everyone.
Their faces displayed an array of emotions. They had planned to give Xu Ke a hard ti but hadn’t expected his response. He turned the tables on them.
He didn’t play by the usual rules.
Usually, during a first eting, soone wouldn’t claim the subordinates were unimportant and even openly threaten them.
Soone looked at Xu Ke with displeasure, "Aren’t you afraid we’ll sideline you?"
"Hasn’t that always been your intention? Even if I hadn’t said anything, weren’t you planning that anyway?" Xu Ke retorted.
"We’re all smart here. Even if I don’t know all your thoughts, I know most of them. I don’t care what you think; I only care what you do. Submit to , and you thrive; oppose , and you perish. I’m no benevolent ruler; I’m a complete tyrant, just so you know."
Xu Ke’s expression hardened, his deanor changing instantly. Standing there, he was like an iceberg, lowering the conference room’s temperature by ten degrees. Despite the oppressive heat, it sent chills through them.
Xu Ke’s forehead was exposed today, along with his sharp brows and eyes. They resembled fierce swords capable of easily cutting through defenses.
Their breaths caught as they examined Xu Ke, their gazes steely and grave.
