Chapter 45: Open the Door or Not

A company's general manager, a vice president—Jiang Fan had always seen top management insult each other elegantly on TV. Why were Tang Wan and Su Qing so rude?

On his way home in the evening, Tu Kun was arranged to stay in a guest room on the first floor. The quilt was brought from Jia Wei's home. Jiang Fan shared a room with Li Jia Wei. When Jiang Fan was showering, Tang Wan appeared outside the door and knocked forcefully.

"Open the door!"

"No way!"

"Click!"

Tang Wan directly pulled the door open. Jiang Fan, startled, quickly grabbed a towel to cover his privates and looked at Tang Wan with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You're such a hooligan!"

Tang Wan's face was slightly flushed, probably due to drinking some alcohol in the evening. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Jiang Fan, angrily saying,

"Quit your job at Rongyao! I don't need any of the money you owe me! I'll give you another four hundred thousand!"

Jiang Fan took a deep breath and then said,

"Tang Wan, what would happen if I threw this towel away?"

Tang Wan looked provocative. Jiang Fan let go of the towel, which fell off. Seeing this, Tang Wan screamed and turned to run. Jiang Fan, standing in the bathroom, put his hands on his hips and laughed. "I haven't even taken off my underwear yet!"

Quitting was definitely not an option. Tang Wan wouldn't retract her words. She would indeed not ask Jiang Fan for any of the debt and would give him money. But was this the life Jiang Fan wanted? If he did, he wouldn't have chosen to divorce in the first place.

A man should have some pride and pressure.

Life at Rongyao suited Jiang Fan well. Su Qing was a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was very useful to Jiang Fan.

Furthermore, Jiang Fan wanted to try if he could earn four million within a year.

He rinsed his head with cold water in the bathroom to clear his mind, but he also felt a bit of a headache. He had to be at the company at seven tomorrow. Women! It would be better to avoid Su Qing and Tang Wan meeting in the future. Damn! Would Lin Xuan cause any more trouble? He really needed to sit down and talk with Guan Junbiao sometime.

Getting along well with this guy might bring some benefits.

When he went upstairs, Tang Wan was resting. When he returned to the room, he found that the quilt was missing. Li Jia Wei looked innocent and said that his aunt had taken it, seemingly wanting him to come and sleep together. Jiang Fan gave in and pulled Li Jia Wei's quilt over.

"Let's sleep together, buddy."

When Jiang Fan was dozing off, Li Jia Wei suddenly whispered,

"Are you asleep, Uncle Jiang?"

"Yes!"

He was indeed a bit sleepy, and he had to be at the company at seven tomorrow. Li Jia Wei sighed and whispered again,

"Do you think kids without fathers are looked down on? At school, I dare not fight with Li Bo and the others. When it comes to fighting, I'm afraid. If his dad comes to find my mom, I don't know what to do. My mom is a woman, and I'm still young. If we fight, we definitely can't beat his dad."

Jiang Fan turned around and slapped Li Jia Wei's forehead, frowning and saying,

"What are you afraid of? There are many kids in this world without fathers, and they all live well. Look at Nezha. He has a dad, but his dad still handed him over to the Dragon King, right? So, it doesn't matter whether you have a dad or not. What's important is that you have to strive, study hard, and make a name for yourself in the future, so that people will know you're not lacking anything compared to others; instead, you're even more outstanding than them."

"But Nezha has a master!"

"Nezha doesn't have an uncle!"

After hearing this, Li Jia Wei laughed, rolled over, and took the quilt away. Jiang Fan stood up and knocked on Tang Wan's door. Soon after, a quilt with a new cover was thrown out.

At 6 a.m., Li Jiawei and Tu Kun were already up, washing up and getting dressed. Jiang Fan asked if they needed to be sent off, but Li Jiawei shook his head and said they would take a taxi to school. As they left, they gave Jiang Fan a fist pump for encouragement.

After the two children left, Jiang Fan got dressed and went downstairs. Su Qing was like a madwoman, demanding he arrive at the company by 7 a.m. If he was late, she would have another reason to scold him.

Squeezing onto the bus, Jiang Fan couldn't understand why these grandparents would choose to crowd onto the bus with schoolchildren and commuters early in the morning. Was it just for those eggs at the supermarket that were less than two mao cheaper per jin?

There was also something Jiang Fan had never known: which one of the elderly card and the respect card was free?

When it was finally time to get off, there were too many people, and Jiang Fan couldn't squeeze his way out. Not only did he sit through an additional stop, but he also got into an argument with several old men and women on the bus. When he got off, Jiang Fan glared at them, feeling a bit after beating Guan Dagou but losing to these old folks.

He bought a jianbing guozi and a cup of soy milk from a roadside stall and walked into the company at 6:55. The security guard looked at Jiang Fan strangely, wondering why he was here so early. Dragging his exhausted body into the elevator, he felt all his strength had been drained by the bus ride. Just as the elevator doors were closing, Yang Xuan appeared in Jiang Fan's sight, and he quickly pressed the open button.

Yang Xuan, with no makeup, rushed into the elevator and grabbed the soy milk from Jiang Fan's hand without hesitation, complaining, "Jiang Fan, can you stop flirting with Su and getting us ordinary employees into trouble? I was comfortably catching up on my dramas at home, but I had to come here early to check if you've arrived at the company."

Jiang Fan handed the straw to Yang Xuan and frowned, "You came to spy on me? Where's Su?"

"I don't know."

On the 14th floor, Yang Xuan went to change her clothes, while Jiang Fan didn't exit the elevator. Instead, he went back downstairs to buy another cup of soy milk and stood at the entrance of Rongyao to finish his breakfast.

7:30 a.m.

Gao Luxing arrived at the company, dressed in a white suit today, with silver earrings. He was slightly surprised to see Jiang Fan and walked over, offering him a cigarette with a smile.

"So early? You're really dedicated."

Jiang Fan took the cigarette and clipped it to his ear, smiling softly at Gao Luxing.

"Su called me yesterday and asked me to come early. After resting for two days, I felt refreshed. Staying at home is boring, so it's better to come to the company early."

Gao Luxing smiled and shrugged, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and grinned.

"Rest for two days? Your face doesn't look like you've rested. Did you go boxing or encounter some trouble? If you have any problems, tell me. If I can help, I'll solve them for you. I don't want our Rongyao's great contributor to suffer."

Jiang Fan reached out and touched the corner of his eye, smiling bitterly.

"There was a conflict, and I lost my temper and got physical. I kind of regret it now. Later, I'll go find Yang Xuan for a mask to wear. I can't tarnish Rongyao's image."

"It's good to be young."

Gao Luxing sighed. Jiang Fan didn't respond. Tang Wan and Old Tang had both mentioned this Gao Luxing and asked Jiang Fan to be careful. Now, Jiang Fan also wanted to return to the General Department to take a nap, but Gao Luxing didn't leave and kept chatting aimlessly. He seemed unwilling to go upstairs.

The company's employees gradually arrived for work, and Jiang Fan's bruised face became the focus of attention. Everyone who passed by would stare at it for a while. The little red BMW arrived, and Sun Ya walked slowly with her short skirt and a seductive sway of her waist. A sly smile appeared on Gao Luxing's face, and he said with a very lewd grin, "Jiang Fan, Lin Xuan has quite a hostility towards you. If he gives you a hard time, come to me anytime."

Jiang Fan frowned slightly and then smiled, "Okay, Mr. Gao."
