Fang Yuan inquired with a puzzled expression, “Did he go out to discuss a collaboration?”
Wang Ning responded, “No…”
At that moment, Fang Yuan also grasped the situation. “Fetch him here.”
“Of course,” Wang Ning nodded and promptly set off to locate him.
Fang Yuan, intrigued, inquired further, “He’s just a vice president. Is it necessary to personally invite him?”
Wang Ning replied cautiously, “A mere phone call or message would provoke his anger…”
“Oh, really?” Fang Yuan arched an eyebrow, noting his apparent airs. “Then I’d like to witness how irritable he can get.”
After some time, a middle-aged man, roughly around 40 years old, entered Fang Yuan’s office. He had a portly build, a round face, and a rather intimidating gaze. As soon as he reached the office door, he made a show of dominance, addressing Wang Ning.
“Now that a new master is in town, you’ve forgotten about your old master?”
“President Zhao, please don’t take it so seriously. I had an unexpected matter come up and couldn’t personally extend the invitation. 1 had no choice,” Wang Ning explained.
Zhao Quan let out a disdainful snort. “Hmph, I wonder how long this upstart can hold onto his position. In such a short time, he’s learned to rely on his master’s influence. He dares to act so haughty in front of me? Isn’t he afraid that all his efforts will go to waste in the end?”
“I wouldn’t dare,” Wang Ning thought sarcastically, but he maintained a polite smile and added, “President Zhao, please come in. President Fang is already waiting for you inside.”
Zhao Quan shot him a cold glare and confidently entered the office.
Inside, a young woman sat in the office chair, her eyes clear as she observed him with interest.
Zhao Quan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that the newcomer would turn out to be a young woman. Although she was quite attractive, her demeanor indicated that she didn’t take him seriously at all!
“I heard from the employees that there’s a new person in charge at the company. Quite young, 1 must say,” Zhao Quan jumped right into the conversation. “I heard you’re from the headquarters. Why haven’t I seen you there before?”
Fang Yuan replied calmly, “The headquarters houses more than 5,000 employees. Have you personally met each one of them, President Zhao?”
Zhao Quan responded, “No, but I’ve never come across someone as young and beautiful as you holding such a high position. Who sent you from the headquarters?”
“Do 1 need to report my assignment to you, President Zhao?” Fang Yuan quirked her lips. “I’ve heard that you are not a frequent presence in the company. May 1 inquire whether 1 meet your qualifications for this temporary role, President Zhao?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Quan didn’t seem perturbed in the least. He confidently pulled out a chair and seated himself across from Fang Yuan. “If 1 had to oversee every little detail in the company, I’d be utterly exhausted. Now that President Fang, you are in charge, I suppose there are many aspects of the company that you’re unfamiliar with, correct?”
Fang Yuan inquired, “So, where do you spend your time when you’re not at the company?”
Zhao Quan replied, “Naturally, I’m engaged in discussions with other company CEOs and meeting with material suppliers. Why do you ask? Are you interested in getting involved, President Fang?”
“Indeed, 1 am,” Fang Yuan replied with a sweet smile. “What kind of collaborations are you discussing, and which material suppliers are you meeting? Otherwise, your absence from work could be unwarranted.”
“Hehe,” Zhao Quan chuckled. “So, President Fang, are you suggesting I should be at the office every day?”
“It’s not just you. Everyone in the company is expected to fulfill their roles during working hours,” Fang Yuan replied with a deepening smile.
Zhao Quan’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at the young woman before him, breaking into laughter. “Hahaha, President Fang, as the highest-ranking person in charge, I will certainly heed your directives.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my office now.” Fang Yuan concluded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be present at the company every day from now on. President Fang, I’m committed to managing the company effectively alongside you!” Zhao Quan emphasized the last sentence, hinting at something deeper.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan let out a sardonic smile. “Take good care of yourself first.”
As Zhao Quan prepared to depart, Fang Yuan called after him, “Oh, by the way, there’s something I forgot to mention, President Zhao…”
Hearing this, Zhao Quan halted and turned back to face her.
Fang Yuan enunciated each word deliberately, “I’m the sole authority when it comes to directing my team.”
Zhao Quan shot an irritated glare at Wang Ning, who stood near the door.
“President Zhao, is that clear?” Fang Yuan inquired.
“Crystal clear!” Zhao Quan spun around and stormed off in frustration.
Wang Ning watched the assertive young woman in the office. She was truly commanding! He felt a hint of gratitude for being protected by President Fang.
In the Spring Garden,
Bo Desong surveyed the courtyard’s flowers and plants, took a pair of gardening scissors, and decided to do the trimming himself. “I’ll take care of this!”
“But, Old Mr. Wen, please be cautious! Your health hasn’t fully recovered yet…” Butler Wen fretted. “Just instruct me, and I’ll do it…”
Bo Desong responded, “I just want to create something adorable.”
“Adorable?” Butler Wen thought he might have misunderstood and exchanged puzzled glances with the gardeners..
