Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Incomparable
The next day, Scarlett had already left before Ye Fan even got out of bed, leaving behind only a faint scent on the sheets. He had no choice but to get up, as Tang Yurou was already calling to hurry him along.
He called her back and asked, "Honey, where are you now? I’ll be right over!"
"I’m at the company entrance! I’m waiting for you!" Tang Yurou replied.
"Okay, I’ll be there soon!"
Ye Fan got out of bed and drove his LaFerrari to et Tang Yurou.
Tang Yurou had been in Europe for several months now. She had already adapted to the environnt and the way of life, but she still preferred Hua Xia.
Just then, a well-dressed man approached Tang Yurou. With his distinctly intellectual, white-collar air, he could be considered handso. Compared to a peerless man like Ye Fan, however, he fell far short.
He said to Tang Yurou, "President, are you waiting for soone?"
Tang Yurou nodded. "Yes."
"President, the truth is... I really like you," he declared. He had been watching Tang Yurou for a long ti, just waiting for the chance to confess his feelings. He was an arrogant man who believed none of the other won in the company were worthy of him. In his eyes, only Tang Yurou was his equal. So, he was determined to pursue her by any ans necessary. Seizing the opportunity now that they were alone, he finally spoke his mind.
Tang Yurou rejected him bluntly. "I’m sorry, but I’m already in love with soone. He’ll be here to pick
up soon."
But he insisted, "President, not many n are worthy of you, but I am definitely one of them. I don’t have any connections; I beca a manager through my own hard work, and my career will go even further. Please, give
a chance!"
Tang Yurou said firmly, "That’s enough. I don’t want to hear another word about this."
"Why? Does he have a better education than ? I graduated from a prestigious university! Is he more capable than ? I beca a manager before I was even thirty. I refuse to accept this!" he demanded.
Tang Yurou was repulsed by such arrogant people, who thought so highly of themselves. There’s a saying that a lifeti of your hard work can’t compare to a few casual words from soone with the right background.
So, she said, "You could work hard for a hundred years and still not be his equal. Don’t you dare compare your so-called achievents to him. You’re not worthy!"
The manager was furious. He retorted, "Fine! I’d like to see in what way he’s better than !"
To Tang Yurou, this man was the type who’d read so many books he’d beco an idiot.
Just then, a few female employees ca over. They were off today but preparing for the big push tomorrow. Tang Yurou had a good relationship with her staff, so when they saw her standing with the manager, they walked over. In a company with a majority of female employees, n were usually popular, but this manager was an exception. He was arrogant, acted like he was a cut above everyone else, and refused to mingle, so none of the won liked him.
"President, you’re here too!" the three won greeted her.
Tang Yurou smiled. "Yes. Shouldn’t you all be resting? You pulled an all-nighter yesterday. Go ho and get so sleep! Tomorrow we start planning the company’s European exhibition."
"But President," the won teased, "didn’t you say you’d treat us to a big al? Are you going back on your word again?"
"So other ti!" Tang Yurou replied, her face turning red as she spoke.
The won grew curious. "Is the President in love?" one asked.
"That must be it!" another chid in. "She’s in love and trying to get rid of us!"
The three won glanced at the man, a branch manager, and a terrible thought struck them. Surely the President doesn’t like this guy? If that’s true... he’s not even worthy of carrying her shoes!
The manager was seething. Are these won only just noticing
now? Are they looking down on ? Still, they were Tang Yurou’s assistants, so he had no authority over them. He ntally filed away the grudge.
Fearing they would get the wrong idea, Tang Yurou quickly said, "He’s coming to pick
up any minute now."
The three won breathed a collective sigh of relief. Just as we thought! The President would never like a guy like that.
The manager was furious, but he didn’t leave. He refused to believe Tang Yurou’s boyfriend could be more outstanding than him. Who else in the company was better? There was Ma Zhengye, who co-managed the European branch with her, but everyone knew he was in love with Su Qingxue. If you excluded Ma Zhengye, there was no one superior to him in the entire company. Besides, Tang Yurou has only been in Europe for a few months. There’s no way she could have t so impressive local guy.
Just then, a LaFerrari pulled up. A handso and charming man stepped out of the car.
The three won’s eyes lit up instantly. He’s so handso! Unbelievably handso!
They were all completely captivated by Ye Fan. This was perfectly normal to him. After all, he had a well-earned reputation: his charm was a clean sweep, irresistible to any and every woman. From eighty-year-old grandmothers to three-year-old toddlers, no female could escape its pull. Since these three were only in their mid-twenties, enthralling them gave him no particular sense of victory.
The manager instantly lost his nerve. This man in front of him outclassed him in a single glance, both in looks and in bearing. And as for wealth... the guy drove a LaFerrari worth several million euros, while he drove an obscure car worth just over twenty thousand. There was no comparison. In that mont, he knew what it felt like to be instantly defeated. The feeling was so absolute it drove him to despair. He couldn’t accept it, but he had no choice.
The three won shot him a disdainful look. A pathetic guy like you wants to pursue our gorgeous President? That’s a classic case of a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
As for Ye Fan, he was the embodint of perfection. For a split second, they even felt that their President might not be good enough for him. Why? Because in their eyes, only they themselves were worthy of Ye Fan...
Ye Fan walked over, and Tang Yurou imdiately threw her arms around him. They hadn’t seen each other in months. Her success in Europe had been so smooth entirely because Ye Fan had asked his old friends here to look out for her. Thanks to him, she truly felt like a fish in water.
The manager didn’t dare make any more comparisons. He left with his tail between his legs. That’s just how life is. The goal you strive for your whole life is just a single casual expense for soone else. Crushed by the gap between them, he knew leaving was his only option.
His departure was t with such open mockery from Tang Yurou’s employees that he wished the ground would swallow him whole.
