Not Good-Tempered

Jiang Fan didn't know why he felt like there was a stone pressing on his heart every time he heard Lin Xuan's name. He knew he hadn't controlled himself well when he received Lin Xuan's call last night. With Lin Xuan's abilities, it would be too easy for him to deal with Jiang Fan.

But Jiang Fan didn't think he was wrong.

Jiang Fan didn't make braised pork. He knew what Tang Wan wanted to say and why she hesitated for a second when speaking.

It's just fish. If I dare not kill it, who else dares?

After preparing the dishes and putting them in an insulated container, he turned off the gas. When everything was ready to leave home, Jiang Fan only had fifteen yuan left in his hand, which was exactly enough for a taxi to the company. If there was a traffic jam, he would have to ask Chen Yi to wait downstairs and pay for the taxi.

With these thoughts in mind, he went downstairs and found that Baolai was still parked there. Jiang Fan walked up, opened the passenger door, and sat in. Chen Yi wrinkled his nose and whispered,

"I'm even more hungry now. Will you cook for me sometime?"

"No problem."

Chen Yi didn't ask further and drove back to the company. On the way, Jiang Fan looked at Yang jin lying on the back seat several times. Yang jin was really determined. She could even do such deceitful things. She must work very hard. Unfortunately, no one in the General Department was afraid of her, and no one listened to her.

He took off his watch, wiped it, and put it in Yang Jin's bag.

They arrived at the company, and the car was parked in the parking lot outside the main gate. Jiang Fan frowned at a red BMW parked diagonally in the parking space. Chen Yi beside him sighed.

"I'll go to the front desk to get the takeout. Shall we eat outside the car?"

Jiang Fan nodded. The car was Yang Jin's, and they didn't want to get it dirty. As Jiang Fan was preparing to help Yang Jin get out of the car, Chen Yi spoke up.

"Let Yang jin sleep first. If you go back like this, Liu Jiulong won't fight with you, and I'll consider my life meaningless. Liu Jiulong was from another city. He met Yang jin during several company trips to other places for study and then came to work at Rongyao. He's a man whose child is already in junior high school, but he always thinks about hooking up with Yang jin. It's disgusting to watch."

Chen Yi left, and Jiang Fan smiled at this. Men also like gossip? He took off his coat and put it on Yang jin. Jiang Fan had no distractions in his heart. There was no space in his heart to think about these messy things. He just hoped that Yang jin wouldn't catch a cold.

Two boxes of Chinese food, one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, two extra boxes of rice, two bottles of mineral water, and a portion of fruit salad were prepared for when Yang jin woke up. Chen Yi was actually more proficient than Jiang Fan in caring for women.

The two of them squatted on the ground beside the car and ate like wolves.

People passing by looked at them with disgust, wondering where these two starving ghosts came from. The security guard at the door came once, and after knowing that they were employees of Rongyao, he asked if they wanted to eat inside. Jiang Fan shook his head. They couldn't leave Yang jin alone here.

After eating the rice, they felt like they had regained half of their life. Chen Yi threw a cigarette to Jiang Fan, a 22-yuan Su cigarette.

"Fan, don't blame me for being talkative or realistic. We haven't known each other for long. I initially helped you just to make a friend. I was idle anyway. Later, it was for the money you promised me. Of course, if I fail, I can't shamelessly ask you for it. Just don't overestimate my abilities. I don't have big ambitions in my life. I just want to avoid starving to death. I'm a typical good-for-nothing person. But other people in the General Department are different. Many of them got in through relationships. The company is not as harmonious as you think. The General Department only belongs to Mr. Su. Also, can I not attend the high-level meeting tomorrow?"

Jiang Fan was listening seriously at first. Hearing the last sentence, he turned around and laughed, scolding,

"Are you a coward? Don't even think about it. Once you're on the boat, you can't get off. Don't you want the 20,000 yuan?"

"It just feels too vague. Earn 20,000 yuan in two days? It just feels unrealistic. Fan, where did you sell it last night? Is the rich woman beautiful?"

Chen Yi was typically someone who could only say three serious sentences before starting to digress. The two men were playing and fighting downstairs, and all the pressure was gone in an instant. This annoyed Su Qing on the 14th floor. She pointed at the two guys on the stairs and gritted her teeth.

How can they not seem anxious at all? They still have time to eat boxed meals, smoke, and play around?

Just as it was about to be 5 o'clock, Yang Jin woke up. She opened her eyes and looked around, feeling a splitting headache. When she tried to get up, her suit slid off. Yang Jin opened the car door and saw the two young men squatting on the ground, playing a childish game of "catch the thief." It was extremely幼稚.

The two heard the sound of high heels and turned around simultaneously, smiling.

"Jin, you're awake?"

Chen Yi asked.

"Thanks to Jin today. No one expected Manager Li to be such a heavy drinker. Here's a vegetable salad. I'll go buy you a cup of milk later."

Yang Jin took the salad but didn't open it. Instead, she squatted next to the two and watched their childish game. At this moment, her mind was blank, devoid of any thoughts. This scene was again witnessed by Su Qing, whose hand holding the telescope trembled slightly. How could Yang Jin be influenced by them?

After about twenty minutes, the employees of Rongyao Group were finally released from work, resembling school children at the end of the day, concluding their busy schedule. Jiang Fan and the other two also stood up, with Chen Yi supporting Yang Jin as they entered the gates of Rongyao.

As they began ascending the stairs, an unfriendly female voice suddenly came from behind.

"Yang Manager, please don't park your car here next time."

Yang Jin covered her head, turned around, and forced a smile, nodding continuously.

"Alright, today..."

"I don't want to hear any excuses. Your department is already filled with idle people. Don't waste the company's resources."

Jiang Fan turned around to look at the woman who was speaking. She was about the same age as Yang Jin, with a physique and appearance that could be considered above average. She was dressed in stylish clothing with branded logos, and her makeup and hairstyle seemed to be inspired by Su Qing, very glamorous, but significantly lacking in both appearance and demeanor.

This woman was somewhat unreasonable and even started to insult Yang Jin, saying that if she couldn't park properly, she shouldn't park there, causing the other woman to reverse her car to get out. Yang Jin kept apologizing with her head down. Chen Yi and Jiang Fan couldn't hold it in anymore. Chen Yi frowned and said,

"I parked the car. If you have any issues, Ms. Sun, you can come to me."

Ms. Sun?

Is she some kind of official?

This Ms. Sun didn't even look at Chen Yi, instead sizing up Yang Jin with a disdainful gaze and sneering,

"Oh, Yang Manager has a driver now? The idle department manager is really something. How much salary do you get each month?"

Yang Jin lowered her head and didn't speak. As Chen Yi was about to speak, Jiang Fan stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Jin, frowning.

"What does it matter to you? Aren't you worried about aging quickly by meddling in others' affairs? Why do you need to interfere in the matters of the General Department? Which department are you from?"

Jiang Fan really liked Yang Jin, with the feeling of a younger brother towards an older sister. From the time Yang Jin helped him lie about being late, to her anxiety and tears at noon, and her shielding him from alcohol in the afternoon, Jiang Fan couldn't imagine Yang Jin as a bad person, especially as a single mother with a child. However, Jiang Fan didn't understand how this woman dared to bully Yang Jin when Yang Xuan should have a high position in the company.

"Hmm? You're asking me? I'm Sun Ya, the General Manager of the Public Relations Department."

Just now, they didn't notice that there was not only Chen Yi, this handsome young man, beside Yang Jin, but also another one here?

At this moment, Yang Jin suddenly tugged at Jiang Fan's sleeve. Jiang Fan reached out to remove Yang Jin's hand and looked at Sun Ya with a frown.

"If you can drive the car, then drive it. If you can't, then don't. It doesn't matter to me what department or position you're from. If you cause any more trouble for Jin, don't force me to hit you."

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Yang Jin.

"Jin, park your car in the parking lot outside tomorrow. If anyone bothers you, just come to me or Chen Yi. I may not have many skills, but I have a fiery temper."

"Fan, that temper is quite outrageous. You dared to confront Mr. Su on your first day at the company. Mr. Sun, I advise you not to provoke him."

Yang Xuan suddenly appeared, walking over with a sarcastic tone. Seeing Yang Xuan coming, Sun Ya didn't feel comfortable continuing the commotion, and she was also a bit scared inside. Some time ago, someone at the company really got into a physical altercation with Mr. Su, and it was said that they even pulled out a clump of Mr. Su's hair.

Leaving them with a threatening glare and a cold snort, she walked out of the front door. Jiang Fan just frowned slightly and pressed the elevator button. The four of them entered the elevator. Once they were alone, Jiang Fan frowned and asked,

"Jin, are you afraid of her? What kind of person is this Sun Ya?"

Yang Jin lowered her head and didn't respond. Yang Xuan, seeing her sister being bullied, felt uneasy and whispered with a wrinkled nose,

"She's the cousin of the deputy general manager and the manager of the public relations department. She has some tricks and abilities. She just bullies my sister because she's honest. Jiang Fan, you should just beat her up next time."

"Shut up!"

Yang Jin raised her head and scolded Yang Xuan fiercely, then continued,

"Do you think Jiang Fan doesn't have enough troubles? Just avoid her in the future. There's no need to get physical again. Also, you can't tell others about Jiang Fan's altercation with Mr. Su. How will Mr. Su be able to command respect in the future? Go home and take care of Beibei. I have to stay and work overtime today."

"Oh."

Yang Xuan took the car keys with a expression and walked out of the elevator. When Yang Jin wasn't looking, she turned around and gave Jiang Fan a thumbs-up gesture. Jiang Fan smiled. When the elevator doors closed, he remembered what Chen Yi had said. Perhaps honor isn't as simple as imagined.
