________________________________

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua parked the car right in front of the door of New Century. Several security guards saw this and wanted to rush up and stop him, but once they realised it was Zhang Xiaohua, they lost their momentum.

Zhang Xiaohua was the son of the company's former boss, a famous musician and entrepreneur and he also was a shareholder in the company. With these three ident.i.ties, the security guards didn't dare to mess with him.

As he stood in front of the company, Zhang Xiaohua looked up. It really was a big company, even the building had a high-end atmosphere to it. It was an office building that was 30 stories high, surrounded by blue skies, unimpeded and in a prime location.

For now, he could only squeeze together with Yuan Datong and the others in the minuscule studio, but it did not matter as Zhang Xiaohua was confident that sooner or later he would hang the sign of HuaXiang Entertainment on this building.

After he shuffled into the company's hallway, Zhang Xiaohua walked up and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton. When the elevator door opened, Xu Fengnian stepped out...

Suddenly seeing each other, both of them were slightly stunned, but Xu Fengnian was the first to reveal a friendly smile. He seemed to be happy to see that Zhang Xiaohua was here.

Zhang Xiaohua stared at Xu Fengnian and after he saw that he was holding a cardboard box in his arms and being followed by four security guards, Zhang Xiaohua knew that he was being swept out.

However, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand why this man, one of the companies senior executives who, not long ago, represented the company to discuss business with himself, was being expelled today.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua came to a conclusion: It must have been an order from Cao Dequan. No one else had enough power to drive a veteran employee like him out of the company.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua had always wondered why Cao Dequan didn't come find trouble with him, as this was not the style of that old man.

It seemed to be because of this Manager, Cao Dequan would definitely not leave him be if he knew he was the owner of HuaXiang. This manager had clearly recognised him at the time, so he must have withheld this information from Cao Dequan, earning them time. Otherwise, with New Century suppressing them, even he could not guarantee that the success they had with w.a.n.g Jingwen would be possible.

In this case, he would also need to thank Manager Xu!

Moreover, since he was swept out by Cao Dequan, it showed that Cao Dequan treated him as an enemy, and as the ancient proverb goes,

As he thought of this, Zhang Xiaohua smiled back at him, but not in the same way he did when he first met Xu Fengnian. This time, Zhang Xiaohua's smile contained obvious respect, with none of the former ridicule.

”Uncle Xu, what's the matter?” asked Zhang Xiaohua, calling to him.

Xu Fengnian smiled awkwardly, in his eyes, a faint tear seemed to be forming.

Had this situation not happened, Xu Fengnian would have been able to retire gloriously in just a few years. In the future, by relying on his retirement funds, his family would be guaranteed the most basic protection, they would at least be safeguarded from hunger.
