Making Tea

On that day, Chen Yi left the Operations Department. Before he could even warm his seat in the General Department, he was off to Qin Xue's Business Department. Seeing the two biggest troublemakers in the office, Qin Xue felt anxious.

Should he accept him?

Dare he not accept him? Mr. Su's document is here, asking Chen Yi to come to the Business Department for some learning.

Just after learning in the Operations Department, he's coming to the Business Department?

It's obvious that Mr. Su wants to groom this Chen Yi. Even with Deputy General Manager Gao backing him up, he dare not refuse such a small matter.

Jiang Fan's intention is very clear now.

He wants Chen Yi to become Su Qing's person, to let everyone in the company know that Chen Yi is Mr. Su's key trainee, and to let Gao Luxing know that Chen Yi cannot be bought.

Returning to the General Department, Yang Jin and Liu Jiulong immediately dragged Jiang Fan into the office. They stood facing him, one in front and one behind, with Liu Jiulong blocking the door, ready to pounce on Jiang Fan at any moment. Yang Jin held a small stick in her hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan smiled and wrinkled his brow.

"Jin, Deputy Supervisor Liu, what are you two trying to do? Give me private punishment? I didn't make any mistakes today."

"Jin, did you hear that? Did you see that? He doesn't even know he's made a mistake. It's unforgivable, unforgivable."

Liu Jiulong was so angry that he was almost exploding. Jiang Fan scratched his head in confusion. He noticed that everyone in the General Department was listening through the door. Jiang Fan tried hard to recall and, after a long time, frowned and said,

"I really didn't make any mistakes today. The smoking thing was already dealt with by you two, right? Hmm? What else did I do?"

Yang Jin's face turned pale with anger. She panted and asked through gritted teeth,

"What...time did you come to the company today?"

"11 o'clock...sorry!"

Jiang Fan shouted "sorry" to Yang Jin and then turned to run, only to be tightly hugged from behind by Liu Jiulong. Unable to break free, he was then grabbed by the arm, pressed by the head onto Yang Jin's desk. Yang Jin held the small stick and sneered at Jiang Fan,

"Hmm, to deal with you, this unruly person, don't blame me and Deputy Liu for using force on you! Jiang Fan, endure it! It won't hurt."

The stick landed on Jiang Fan's buttocks.

It was more like a prank than punishment. Both Yang Jin and Liu Jiulong were worried that with so many things happening recently, Jiang Fan's spirits might be too heavy. The punishment was fake; their concern was real. Liu Jiulong's fondness for Jiang Fan came entirely from his treating Yang Jin as a dear sister.

Love me, love my dog.

Jiang Fan, rubbing his buttocks and looking back every few steps, left the General Department. When he passed some staff, he received greetings for the first time.

"Fan, are you going somewhere busy?"

"Ah! Nothing, just strolling around."

Jiang Fan really became the most unusual person in Rongyao. Some staff were couples, yet they couldn't see each other even once on the same floor in a day. But this Jiang Fan was different. One could see him appear and pass through the 14th floor, the 11th floor, and the 1st floor four or five times a day.

Is Jiang Fan's job to stroll around?

This was Jiang Fan's second time coming to see Su Qing. He wanted to come over to play games, but Su Qing wasn't here when he came the first time. When Yang Jin went, she came back. Now Jiang Fan came again, but he was stopped by Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan looked at Jiang Fan curiously and asked,

"Fan, are you still a virgin?"

Thunk!

Jiang Fan gave Yang Xuan a light tap on the head. Yang Xuan covered her forehead, her eyes blazing with curiosity. Jiang Fan, somewhat embarrassed, angrily said,

"Little girl, why are you asking about this? What? Is it shameful?"

Yang Xuan nodded vigorously and solemnly said,

"It's shameful! Even many high school students aren't virgins now. Fan, I took some advertisement photos for you on the utility pole and wanted to send them to you. But then Ms. Su told me that your phone struggles to receive text messages, so I printed them out. Keep them well! If you have a problem, you should get it treated."

A stack of printed advertisements was stuffed into Jiang Fan's arms by Yang Xuan. It clearly read 'Old Chinese Medicine Specialist Treats Syphilis'. Jiang Fan's face turned iron-gray with anger. He reached out to grab Yang Xuan. The little girl turned and ran, laughing. Jiang Fan pinched Yang Xuan's ears and angrily shouted at her misbehaving little head,

"What? It's shameful that I'm a virgin at 25, but Aunt Ji is still a spinster at 28, isn't she? Why don't you say anything about her?"

As the words fell, Su Qing's office door opened. Ji Jing walked out, looked at Jiang Fan playing with Yang Xuan, and sneered,

"I'm self-loving, you're just a loser!"

"Aunt Ji, I'll never be on the same side as you."

"First, get your treatment."

Ji Jing left, and she became her old self again. This made Jiang Fan very pleased. In his view, solving Ji Jing's trouble was not a big deal. It was just scaring someone, so there was no need to be grateful or overwhelmed.

Jiang Fan let Yang Xuan go and pushed the door open to enter Su Qing's office. Su Qing frowned and looked at the stack of papers in Jiang Fan's hand, puzzled,

"Did you make a new plan?"

Su Qing stood up with anticipation. When she saw the advertisement in Jiang Fan's hand—

Old Chinese Medicine Specialist Treats Syphilis.

Su Qing's face instantly turned ugly. She grabbed Jiang Fan and walked out, saying,

"Come, I'll take you to get treated. It's all because of Tang Wan. Why didn't she let you touch her after marriage? If you had divorced earlier, you wouldn't be in this situation now. Jiang Fan, ah Jiang Fan, wait! Aren't you still a virgin?"

At this moment, Jiang Fan felt like giving up. How did Chen Yi's one sentence spread throughout the company so quickly? Su Qing let Jiang Fan go and returned to her seat. Jiang Fan threw the advertisement aside and walked forward, grinning,

"Ms. Su, can I use your computer?"

"No! Jiang Fan, I've noticed that you're very free, aren't you? Do you know how many eyes are staring at you now? Not to mention the staff below, there are three shareholders in the company, and every one of them knows you, Jiang Fan. General Jiang, can you just let me have some peace of mind?"

"I came here to let you have peace of mind, didn't I? I was just scolded by Yang Jin. I won't be late again in the future."

"No way! I absolutely cannot let you play games."

"Then can I leave work early?"

Su Qing was freaking out. She walked around the desk, kicked Jiang Fan's calf, and then slapped his forehead, angrily saying,

"You came to work at 11 o'clock, and now it's only 1:30 PM. You want to go home? What are you going home for? Tang Wan is not home. Going home won't make you not a virgin, right? Since you're free, deal with these documents for me. You can play games here all day tomorrow. I'll prepare lunch for you."

Jiang Fan held his leg and asked seriously,

"Don't lie to me."

Su Qing didn't want to speak anymore. This guy's brain really works well, envied by everyone, but he just doesn't focus on his work.

Jiang Fan directly sat on Su Qing's chair, picked up the documents on the desk, and started reading. Most of them were reports and planning proposals. Other small matters didn't come to her. Rongyao's performance was very good, with very little loss.

One of them was a water park project. It was fine when it just opened and only in the first year. Recently, it had been in a state of loss. Jiang Fan, with his personality of breaking through the South Wall, deliberately picked hard bones to gnaw on. Su Qing, who was drinking coffee beside him, saw Jiang Fan put aside other work and start preparing for this difficult problem. She quickly put down her coffee and said,

"Never mind. This water park project is under Gao Lvxing's responsibility. Let him deal with it for a few days before we take over."

Clang!

He slapped Su Qing's slender hand that was reaching out and frowned.

"That's superficial. You want to take over because of his incompetence. I roughly looked through it, and there are many plans proposed by Gao Lvxing that have great prospects. Why can't this water park work?"

"People get enough of it after just one visit."

"Haven't you thought about introducing the Yangshen Hot Spring? I see that it's not far from the seaside sanatorium, and there are plenty of hot springs there, right? Can't we bring it over? The investment in the water park is huge, and it's too difficult to transform it. It's better to turn it into a hot spring resort, which can compensate for the inability to operate during winter. Besides, hasn't Glory contacted any internet celebrities for promotion?"

Su Qing became interested and looked at Jiang Fan with delight, grinning charmingly.

"Is General Jiang going to lead another campaign?"

"I'm just saying. Let's make it clear first. After I finish dealing with this, you have to let me play games."

"No! Play now, and I'll go make tea for you."
