Chapter 1030: Chapter 1019: I Am Here to Pursue You
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Knocking sounds rang out.
Tang Wenwen held her breath, her face somewhat flushed.
Logically, company matters shouldn’t be something a junior employee like her can discuss; naturally, Manager Ning has his arrangements.
But strangely, hearing those employees privately discussing Ning Fan and speculating on the company’s prospects, they were pessimistic about its future, made Tang Wenwen feel uncomfortable.
This was one of the reasons she mustered the courage to come to Ning Fan’s office door.
As for other reasons…
It’s complicated, Tang Wenwen didn’t want to think about it too much.
“Come in.”
Ning Fan’s voice came from inside the office, carrying a hint of fatigue in its cool tone.
He must be really tired recently; the company is in such chaos, and he is so young…
Out of nowhere, Tang Wenwen felt a slight heartache.
After pushing the door open, Ning Fan was bowing his head to handle business while Ouyang Feifei stood beside him, whispering something.
“Oh… it’s you?”
Ning Fan looked up, showing a surprised expression on his face, and asked, “Do you need something from me?”
“Ah… well.”
Tang Wenwen was momentarily flustered at Ning Fan’s glance, biting her lip and unable to speak a complete sentence for quite a while.
“Don’t be nervous, take your time, I’m listening.”
Ning Fan’s eyes were soothing as he looked at Tang Wenwen, with a gentle smile on his face.
The more he smiled, the more tense Tang Wenwen became, her fingers fidgeting nervously at her waist, unable to utter a word for a long time.
“Mr. Ning, I have some matters to communicate with the people downstairs, I’ll head out first.”
Ouyang Feifei looked at the intensely nervous Tang Wenwen and walked out with a file, a playful smile passing through her eyes.
After Ouyang Feifei left, Tang Wenwen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her facial flush gradually faded.
“Manager Ning… the people in the lower department have a lot of talk about you, and there are many complaints about the company; you should be careful.”
Tang Wenwen spoke with a face full of concern, “Right now everyone has lost the will to work; if it continues like this, the company will surely fall into trouble.”
Even Tang Wenwen knew this; how could Ning Fan not?
“Yes, I know, thank you for the reminder.”
Ning Fan smiled slightly, nodding as he spoke.
Although what Tang Wenwen said was true, to Ning Fan, this wasn’t an incredibly thorny issue.
Historically, the lower classes have always been very blind.
From the larger perspective of the entire country to the world, narrowing it down, it’s the same ecological environment within a corporation.
If Ning Fan can fully resolve the collective resignation of the department leaders and subsequently handle probable sudden inspections from the tax bureau, ensuring the steady progress of the Dragon City Branch Company in the big picture.
Some gossip and rumors are not enough to be feared.
At this time, even if he personally held a general staff meeting to explain today’s company turmoil, very few would choose to believe him.
The majority would instinctively doubt his words.
And to break this suspicion, it’s not the words that will help but real actions.
“If everyone has not much to do, why not accompany me for a walk?”
Ning Fan closed the folder, stood up, and smiled as he spoke.
He wasn’t in the best mood; dealing with trivial company affairs was never his forte. Without Ouyang Feifei’s assistance on the side, he’d probably go crazy sitting in the office for just a few days.
“I wonder what kind of life those professional managers live every day…”
Ning Fan muttered quietly.
“But… I still have to work.”
Tang Wenwen was startled by Ning Fan’s invitation, her heart skipping a beat, wanting to agree but instinctively chose to refuse.
“Then I’ll give you a day off and treat you to a cup of coffee, alright? You should give me this bit of face.”
Ning Fan said with a smile.
“Manager Ning is joking; if anyone should be treating, it should be me treating you. Last time you saved me from peril, I haven’t properly thanked you yet.”
Tang Wenwen slightly bowed, her face full of sincerity as she spoke.
“Then let’s go, but…”
Ning Fan walked out of the office, looked at the cautious-looking Tang Wenwen, and said, “If you’re going to thank me, don’t be so nervous. Just call me Ning Fan, don’t keep using ‘you’, it sounds awkward.”
“Yes… Mr. Ning.”
Tang Wenwen hesitated for a long time and opted for the same term Ouyang Feifei used.
Walking ahead, Ning Fan shrugged helplessly and did not correct her further.
All things considered, this might be a testament to his authority as the manager in the eyes of the employees. He’s unsure whether to feel happy or helpless about it.
The two walked out of the company, strolling along the streets of Dragon City.
Originally, Tang Wenwen sought Ning Fan to express her gratitude, but once outside, the situation was entirely controlled by Ning Fan.
Tang Wenwen didn’t find anything amiss about this, following closely behind Ning Fan, with a radiant and rosy complexion and eyebrows full of smiles, sweeping away the gloom and depression of the past few days.
“Let’s go to this one; it looks quite quiet.”
After walking for a while on the street, Ning Fan pointed at a coffee shop and turned to Tang Wenwen.
“Okay!”
Tang Wenwen promptly replied, lowered her head, and entered the glass door of the coffee shop.
As soon as they entered the coffee shop, a young man in the driver’s seat inside a sports car brightened up his eyes from not far away, muttering to Tang Wenwen’s direction, “Isn’t that Wenwen? Leaving work so early? Seems like my chance has come!”
Hong Chengtong, the prince of the Hong Family in Dragon City, who just recently graduated from university and hasn’t formally taken up management in the family enterprise, spends his days carousing around Dragon City with a bunch of idle friends, flirting and racing for fun.
Ever since attending a business meeting between the company’s project department and Xu Corporation, the composed Tang Wenwen instantly caught Hong Chengtong’s attention.
Naturally, Hong Chengtong, who mixes around bars and nightlife, is never short of women, but after playing for so long, those women who would come on directly and brazenly seduce him no longer arouse any interest.
Instead, someone like Tang Wenwen, who spoke strictly about business, was meticulous in speech, and got nervous and blushed around opposite sex, sparked Hong Chengtong’s interest.
Despite a fierce pursuit that bore no results, Tang Wenwen worked daily at the company, rendering Hong Chengtong unable to openly walk into the company to disturb her. He seized the rare opportunity seeing Tang Wenwen out of the office, and naturally, he wouldn’t miss keeping up.
“Xiao Wu, arrange a carful of roses for me. Quickly deliver them to the front of the Beautiful Coffee House, I’m waiting here.”
Thinking of this, Hong Chengtong immediately called a subordinate.
