It was dawn.
But Jiang Fan didn't want to get up. Eventually, he had to face reality because he couldn't hold it anymore.
Bathroom! Jiang Fan lingered inside and didn't come out. The two women had already gotten up. After taking several deep breaths, Jiang Fan smiled at the two women and said,
"Good morning, what would you like to eat?"
Su Qing, who was brushing her hair in front of the mirror, didn't even glance at Jiang Fan. Tang Wan, who was sitting on the sofa drinking milk, spoke up,
"Su the Fox, be careful. If your hair falls on the floor, Jiang Fan will fight with you."
"It's fine. I don't lose hair. Worry about wrinkles instead."
They chose to ignore Jiang Fan, and Jiang Fan didn't want to embarrass himself. He went to prepare breakfast, cooking porridge. He had forgotten how he left the restaurant yesterday. Fortunately, Guan Dagao sent him a message in the morning, saying that the money was with him and he would bring it over in the afternoon.
There was millet porridge, boiled eggs, and some pickled vegetables brought by his mother.
The breakfast wasn't abundant.
Su Qing sipped the porridge slowly. Jiang Fan had just peeled an egg, and Su Qing directly snatched it away. Then Jiang Fan saw Tang Wan staring at her with a murderous look. Jiang Fan peeled another one, but Su Qing was slower this time. Tang Wan, biting her egg, angrily said,
"Don't you fear choking to death! Jiang Fan, I don't have time to ask you about yesterday now. When you come back tonight, you better explain to me how you drank so much with Guan Junbiao! Don't you know how much alcohol you can handle?"
Jiang Fan silently held up two fingers. Seeing this, Su Qing smiled and said,
"Two boxes? Not bad."
"Two... two bottles."
Hearing Jiang Fan's weak response, Su Qing didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. A man could only drink two bottles of beer? After breakfast, Tang Wan waited for Su Qing to leave, while Jiang Fan took a taxi himself. She would send Su Qing away first. She couldn't see or care about what would happen in the company, but she absolutely couldn't give them a chance to be alone after work.
Su Qing didn't sleep last night because she was worried about Jiang Fan, which made Tang Wan feel a great sense of crisis.
Watching the two women leave in one car, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh. Then he lifted his head, raised two fingers, and shouted,
"Turn back the clock!"
But nothing changed, and a minute had passed.
If time couldn't turn back, then move forward.
In the General Affairs Department, Jiang Fan felt that his life had lost its color. Da Qianer and Chen Yi had been transferred, and his position had changed. There was an extra desk by Yang Jin's door, which was Jiang Fan's exclusive spot, like the two students sitting beside the teacher's desk during school. The whole morning, Jiang Fan was in a daze.
Fortunately, at noon, Da Qianer and Chen Yi came to have lunch with Jiang Fan, which made him feel a bit happier. Li Dongsheng looked at Jiang Fan and the other two with cold eyes. He was increasingly unable to tolerate them.
Worms, paupers!
In the restaurant, Jiang Fan held a bowl of beef noodles. After eating the hot noodles, he felt much better. Then the three of them started to gather together and complain. Chen Yi had gone to the Operations Department and was taken away by Ji Jing in the morning. Da Qianer remained in the Human Resources Department, while Jiang Fan was being monitored in the General Affairs Department.
The three of them sighed simultaneously.
"Sigh!"
After the meal, Da Qianer was going back to play games. This girl had switched to another game. Jiang Fan suggested that she try the Devil May Cry series, but Qian Wan sneered and said she had already hacked and finished that game, so it was no fun.
Qian Wan pursued results and being the strongest, while Jiang Fan wanted to experience the fun.
They were different.
While smoking, Guan Dagao came and brought the money to Jiang Fan, without even changing the bag. The three of them squatted at the gate, smoking and blowing smoke. The clerical girls who passed by all walked around them.
A big hooligan and two violent maniacs.
It was indeed hard for people to have a good impression of them. Of course, these three guys didn't care about it. If they cared about what others thought, they wouldn't be like this today. In the distance, Guan Junbiao's subordinates were gathered together, laughing. Jiang Fan smoked and smiled,
"Why did you bring so many subordinates out today? Is there a new task?"
Guan Dagao sighed.
"Sigh! It's because we are preparing for a transformation. My boss wants to collect all the debts outside and ask a few construction companies to lend us some people."
Tu Xiao understood his business well. Not only did he snatch others' business, but he also borrowed people. Just looking at Guan Junbiao's attitude, he didn't seem to be negotiating gently. It was obvious that if you lent him people, they could talk nicely; if you didn't, he would do it in another way.
Guan Dagao seemed to have nothing to do in the afternoon, and Jiang Fan was even more idle. Smoking at the gate was much better than going back to the General Affairs Department, but Chen Yi couldn't do that. After smoking a cigarette, he stood up and left first, returning to the Operations Department. When he stood up, he looked at Jiang Fan's clothes and muttered that they seemed to be a couple's match with Ji Jing's, even the shoes were the same.
Jiang Fan was lazy to explain. It was fine if Chen Yi wanted to say that.
Slowly, the two people at the gate changed from squatting to sitting. The security guard wanted to remind them to change the place, but he didn't dare to. After a while, Gao Lvxing came out. It seemed that he was here to wait for Sun Ya to pick him up. He stood behind the two, put his hands on their shoulders, and smiled,
"No wonder Tu Lao changed his mind temporarily. It turned out that Biaozi and Jiang Fan were good friends. This really surprised me."
Without turning around, the two knew who it was. Guan Junbiao, facing Gao Lvxing, sneered without speaking. Jiang Fan turned around and smiled,
"Mr. Gao is going out again?"
"Whether I go out or not depends on you two. Do you have time to sit down somewhere?"
Once again, Gao Lvxing offered Jiang Fan an olive branch.
I have to admire this guy. Even in this situation, he can still calmly try to bring Jiang Fan over to his side. Is the mindset of those in power always so broad? No! At least, Lin Xuan's grandson isn't.
It seems like I haven't seen this guy for a long time.
Having rejected Gao Lvxing multiple times, Jiang Fan didn't want to make things too awkward. Just when he was about to agree, a taxi stopped at the main entrance of Rongyao. A family of three stepped out. The two elderly people were about the same age as Jiang Fan's parents. They were dressed very fashionably and had an arrogant attitude. Jiang Fan frowned slightly. Could it be Li Dongsheng's parents? It shouldn't be. Li Dongsheng's parents wouldn't take a taxi to come here.
The family of three walked straight over to Rongyao. The glamorous and wealthy-looking older woman was wearing an expensive white dress, with a gold bracelet on her left hand and earrings similar to Gao Lvxing's hanging from her ears.
She stood before the little tyrant of the General Department. In her eyes, the two young men sitting on the steps were not wearing suits and looked unruly. Sitting here smoking during work hours, they didn't seem like important figures at all. The man standing behind them was dressed in clothes that didn't seem cheap, but his unruly appearance didn't make him look like a decent person.
"Go, call Ji Jing from your company over here. Don't let me go and find her myself."
The middle-aged woman looked arrogantly at Gao Lvxing with her finger pointing at him, while Gao Lvxing didn't even glance at her and said coldly,
"Who are these random people? Somebody! Get them away from here."
Gao Lvxing's good temper with Jiang Fan didn't mean he was good-tempered with everyone. It had been many years since someone dared to point at him and command him like this.
Seeing the security guards rushing over, the middle-aged woman suddenly lost her temper and shouted loudly,
"Do you know who I am? I am the mother of your company's operations manager. You won't go, right? Then you, the one wearing the floral pants, go. You don't look like a decent person either. Don't make me ask my daughter to fire you."
Guan Junbiao was slightly taken aback. He lifted his finger and pointed at his nose, puzzled.
"Are you talking to me?"
This time, the middle-aged woman didn't speak. Instead, the middle-aged man in a suit behind her spoke up, saying coldly and pompously,
"Just go when you're told. What's with all the nonsense?"
Guan Junbiao laughed, stood up, shook his head, and then blew a whistle. At this, the suited underlings in the distance quickly rushed over, and in an instant, twelve or thirteen people surrounded Ji Jing's parents.
There were Rongyao's security guards in front and Guan Junbiao's underlings behind.
Jiang Fan looked at Ji Jing's mother and grinned, saying,
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Pointing at Gao Lvxing, he said,
"This is the deputy general manager of our Rongyao Group, your daughter's immediate superior."
Then he pointed at Guan Junbiao.
"This is the famous Brother Biao from District Eight, with hundreds of underlings. You're really lucky to have provoked two people you shouldn't have provoked right away."
At this moment, Ji Jing's parents were already somewhat panicked, but her obese and greasy brother didn't seem scared. He looked at Jiang Fan coldly and said,
"What are you?"
Just then, Ji Jing had come down from the building. She saw the situation at the main entrance. When she saw that Gao Lvxing and Guan Junbiao's people had surrounded her parents, she panicked. Then she saw the man in blue sportswear slowly standing up.
"Me? I'm her man!"
Suddenly! Ji Jing's mother sat down on the steps with a thud, clapping her legs and crying loudly,
"They're beating people up! They're beating people up!"
