"Wow, learning to stay out all night now!"
In the CEO’s office at Ning Group.
Ning ngyao watched Lin Fan walk in, a complex expression flashing through her beautiful eyes.
She had waited for a long ti last night and yet he hadn’t co ho.
Thoughts of making a call to ask crossed her mind, but in the end, she gave up.
After all, their relationship was awkward.
She felt she shouldn’t be prying.
But this silent absence from ho, she just couldn’t swallow that down.
"I t so new friends last night who might be able to help with future work, so I got a bit carried away with drinking. I was worried you’d be disgusted by the sll of alcohol on , so I checked into a hotel and slept it off. This isn’t going to affect my salary, is it?"
Lin Fan said with a wry smile, trying to explain.
"Do I seem that harsh in your eyes? Why would I dock your salary for no reason? However, given the difficult market lately and sales not picking up, as a special assistant, shouldn’t you be doing sothing ’special’ to drum up more business? You don’t need to bring in too much, an order of fifty million would suffice. If you can’t manage that, your salary will be halved!"
Ning ngyao flipped her hair playfully as she looked at Lin Fan with an innocent face.
"Do you think money is joss paper, just spouting fifty million like it’s nothing? How could I possibly bring in an order like that?"
Lin Fan looked at Ning ngyao, feeling helpless.
Last ti, he already filled up the purchasing plan for First Hospital for the next half year.
Now where would he find a fifty million order.
It was clearly just making things difficult for him.
"Drinking until staying out all night, how can you let that go to waste? Go find your new friends from last night, they should help you figure sothing out. Otherwise, how can you live up to their true friendship?"
Ning ngyao said with a charming smile.
There was a hint of triumph in her deanor.
"Are you angry?"
Seeing the obvious spiteful retaliation, Lin Fan couldn’t help but look at Ning ngyao helplessly.
They say a man shouldn’t live off a woman.
Working for his wife’s company wasn’t exactly freeing.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Can’t you see I’m in a good mood? If you can secure the order, I’ll be even happier. Of course, if you can’t, no worries; with your salary halved, it’s both cutting costs and finding a source of inco for ."
Ning ngyao batted her beautiful eyelashes, smiling as she spoke.
"So the company plans to cut costs by reducing my salary? Why don’t you just fire then?"
Lin Fan pulled over a chair and sat down.
After all, he knew that even if he managed to secure a fifty million order,
she would still find an excuse to dock his salary.
He might as well start slacking off right now.
"Well, that’s not entirely out of the question, given the company isn’t making much profit. This morning when I was leaving, I happened to co across a scrap collector. I noticed they pay quite a bit for scrap iron. What if, one day, to subsidize the company, I decided to sell that old sword of yours for so cash? You wouldn’t bla , right?"
Ning ngyao’s mischievous grin was still quite pretty.
"Can we switch to a different excuse?"
Lin Fan looked at Ning ngyao, feeling desperate.
To him, that sword was his Achilles’ heel.
"If there’s a foolproof thod, why bother pondering other excuses? Lin, for the company’s profits, you better get going and figure sothing out. I’ve still got work to do. Any delays in serious matters will have severe consequences. And in the future, don’t let drinking interfere with your work."
Ning ngyao leaned on her hand, smiling as she watched Lin Fan.
"No drinking and no touching, what did I delay!"
Lin Fan couldn’t help but mutter.
"What are you muttering? If you have an opinion, you can say it to my face. I may not accept it, but at least you won’t have to hold it in and feel upset."
Ning ngyao hadn’t heard clearly.
But judging from his expression, those words didn’t sound like complints.
"I’m saying, sure, Mr. Ning, I’ll go right now and find a solution, I promise I’ll make the company profitable."
Lin Fan could only obediently stand up,
and head towards the exit.
This fifty million order will indeed take him so ti to figure out.
"Won, really are tough to deal with."
Back in his own office, Lin Fan swung his legs up on the desk, feeling resigned.
This state of not giving in yet getting jealous was truly exasperating.
Just then, the video call suddenly went off.
It was Yang Linglong calling.
"Secret boyfriend, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
As soon as the phone call connected, Yang Linglong’s beautiful face was flushed with a rosy glow.
She deliberately lowered her voice while speaking.
"If it’s not convenient, can I still make the call?"
Lin Fan chuckled bitterly.
This sohow felt like a secret agent making contact.
"Have you missed during the days we haven’t seen each other?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Linglong imdiately beca brazen.
Pushing the cara away, she blatantly revealed her fiery upper half.
Her black hair casually draped over her smooth shoulders.
Below her snow-white neck, a white tank top outlined her perfect curves.
Her already fiery bust seed ready to burst forth.
And that, coupled with her waistline featuring a vest line, ford a beautiful inverted triangle.
It really got one’s imagination running wild.
"Why do I get the feeling that there’s sothing off about your smile? If you’re so eager to find , just spit it out if you have sothing to say," Lin Fan said, squinting his eyes.
Yang Linglong definitely didn’t co to him without reason.
He could tell from her smile that there was a catch.
"What could possibly be the matter? As a girlfriend, is it wrong for to miss my boyfriend?"
Yang Linglong pouted, feigning distress.
"Of course it’s fine. Since there’s nothing wrong, I’m going to hang up now. Your penny-pinching BFF left with lots of work to do," Lin Fan said, pretending to hang up the call.
"No, no, no, I do have sothing!"
Yang Linglong hurriedly shouted, "Actually, it’s not a big deal. There’s a dinner party tonight, and I want you to accompany ."
"I have social anxiety, I don’t like dining with people I don’t know," Lin Fan replied, rolling his eyes.
He had no interest in what they called dinner parties.
"Do you think you might have a skewed perception of yourself? If you have social anxiety, then there would be no such word as ’social butterfly’ in this world," Yang Linglong retorted with a roll of her eyes. "Tonight is a second-generation networking event organized by my dad’s business association, supposedly to foster closer relationships and enable cooperation among the second generation. But it’s essentially just a massive matchmaking and marriage arrangent eting. You wouldn’t just watch as your wonderful girlfriend gets treated like an item, picked and chosen by others, would you?"
"Does it really get that ridiculous?"
Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"Hey, what are you saying? I’ve got the figure, the face, and I’m so clever. The mont I walk into the room, I’ll definitely be the center of attention. You don’t even realize what a treasure you’ve stumbled upon," Yang Linglong pouted confidently.
"I can see the figure and the face, but what does being clever have to do with you?"
Lin Fan leaned back in his chair with interest.
The word ’intelligence’ just didn’t seem to match her very well.
"You... you’re so annoying!"
Yang Linglong rolled her eyes again and continued, "Dinner starts at six in the evening, at Tianxiang Pavilion. If you don’t show up, I will call ng Yao and have her give you a hard ti."
"Are you threatening ?"
Lin Fan rubbed his chin.
Won these days really enjoyed picking on him.
"Dare I? I might as well offer you a little incentive!"
Yang Linglong suddenly smirked mischievously and swiftly pulled down her tank top.
Although it was just a mont.
The full, undulating contours still didn’t escape Lin Fan’s eyes.
The incentive was indeed quite tangible.
"That’s just the appetizer. We’ll go to World Trade at noon, and I’ll buy you an outfit. In the afternoon, you can choose any car from my garage to drive. I know you don’t like it, but you’ll do it for , won’t you?"
Without giving Lin Fan a chance to respond, Yang Linglong hung up the phone.
"Ah, won!"
Lin Fan helplessly placed his phone on the table.
He took out the Tianxiang Pavilion’s supre VIP card from his pocket.
So things in the world are just that coincidental.
