Chapter 124 - 124: Brother, Listen to My Advice
“I… I can change for President Fang! If she prefers a stylish man, I’ll hit the gym! If she prefers a career-driven man, I’ll dive into the business world! Whatever President Fang desires, I’ll become it for her!”
Wang Ning patted the man’s shoulder sympathetically. “Buddy, trust me on this. You’re miles away from meeting her standards. It’s better to head back home.”
“Assistant Wang, do you think 1 have a chance?” At that moment, a slightly young and handsome man approached. He had a boyish charm, and his gaze was sincere. Wang Ning recognized him; he had just returned from studying abroad and came from a wealthy family. At the age of 20, he owned a sports car and a villa. What a shame…
“President Fang isn’t into younger guys.”
“Why?” The young man appeared confused.
Others were not willing to give up either. “Assistant Wang, please help us deliver our gifts to President Fang…”
Wang Ning checked his watch. “President Fang is punctual, and she’s already at the office by this time. If you don’t leave now, be prepared for her to dig into your background!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed promptly. No one wanted President Fang to discover their secrets.
They all took the employee elevator and didn’t cross paths with Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan, in her high heels, strolled towards her office. As she passed by Wang Ning, she arched an eyebrow. “You seem to be quite occupied?”
“President Fang, you’ve arrived!” Wang Ning stood up immediately, his throat parched from talking so much. He moistened his lips and added, “They’re all individuals who have an exaggerated sense of themselves. Compared to President Bo…”
At the mention of Bo Yi, President Fang’s gaze turned stern.
Wang Ning swiftly corrected himself, “I mean, they are not deserving of you, President Fang!”
Fang Yuan entered her office and commented casually, “I’m starting to think that being an assistant might not be the best fit for you.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ning quipped, “President Fang, are you considering promoting me? Although 1 helped fend off a bunch of persistent suitors just now, there’s no need to be so formal. It’s just part of my job!”
“Maybe you should try your hand at matchmaking,” President Fang casually suggested. “You have potential. Don’t keep it buried here.”
“Matchmaking?” Wang Ning’s head was spinning with question marks. Why was he being suggested as a matchmaker?
Fang Yuan added, “Or perhaps you could become a security guard. It’s a suitable job for protecting the premises.”
“President Fang, I’m doing this for your own good!” Wang Ning leaned over with a hint of grievance. “You know 1 nearly lost my voice trying to fend them off. It’s quite a challenge…” Just as he was about to continue, a knock on the door interrupted him. He turned around and saw that Zhao Quan had returned.
Wang Ning’s eyes widened. This man had been taken in for police questioning earlier in the day. Why was he released so quickly?
Fang Yuan raised her eyes and locked gazes with Zhao Quan.
“The tea they serve at the police station is awful,” Zhao Quan remarked with a smile. He pulled out a chair in front of Fang Yuan and seated himself. “It can’t hold a candle to the company’s tea.”
Fang Yuan arched a sardonic smile. “Of course. The employees’ tea costs 2,000 yuan per catty for you. It’s only natural.”
Zhao Quan appeared slightly taken aback. How did she know that the staff provided him with tea leaves? The price was 2,000 yuan per catty!
Fang Yuan continued, “President Zhao, it might be a good idea to start getting accustomed to it now. Who knows, you might end up in there again someday…” Zhao Quan burst into laughter. “You never know when the tables might turn, President Fang!”
Wang Ning, listening to their conversation, began to suspect that this crafty individual was trying to set a trap for President Fang. Little did he know that President Fang had a significant supporter. If he had been aware of this, he would never have dared to address President Fang in such a manner!
Fang Yuan remarked, “There’s a saying that goes, ‘Those who do wrong will ultimately meet their demise.'”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Quan seethed and fixed a piercing glare on Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan continued in a relaxed tone, “President Zhao, you should watch your step when you’re out and about. Good deeds have their rewards, and so do evil deeds. Don’t get caught when your time comes.”
Zhao Quan sneered. “We’ll see about that! I’m here today to tell you that the verdict isn’t final yet. You’ll see!”
As Wang Ning watched Zhao Quan’s arrogant exit, he seethed with anger. “Who does he think he is? If there had been enough evidence, he would have been behind bars long ago! How dare he act so arrogant in front of you!”
“He won’t be cocky for long,” Fang Yuan responded without taking his threats seriously. She lowered her gaze to the documents on her desk.
“President Fang, there’s something 1 don’t understand… With your powerful backing, why don’t you let President Bo handle President Zhao?” Bo Yi wielded substantial influence, and dealing with someone like Zhao Quan would be as simple as squashing an ant.
Fang Yuan inquired, “Do I really need him for such a minor matter?” She had no intention of appearing weak by relying on someone else.
Wang Ning comprehended her perspective. President Fang was a career-driven, strong-willed woman who didn’t require external assistance to handle her affairs.
“President Fang, 1 suddenly hold you in even higher regard!” Wang Ning’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
Fang Yuan remained focused on her work and didn’t acknowledge his compliment. “If you find yourself with nothing to do, you could lend a hand to the janitor with restroom cleaning..”
