Chapter 1060: Chapter 1049: Ning Fan’s Guilt
“Xu Corporation? Never heard of it, where did this Ning Fan co from?”
Hong An massaged his temples and said in a low voice, “I understand this situation. Shangcheng, you may not go, but I won’t let you wander outside aimlessly anymore. You will report to the company tomorrow.”
“What? Tomorrow… Can I take so ti? I haven’t rested well yet.”
Upon hearing his father ask him to report to work tomorrow, Hong Chengtong’s face imdiately turned into one of distress.
“Heh, well, it’s fine if you don’t go. I’ll set a limit on all your cards, and I won’t deal with this enemy you ntioned either.”
Hong An seed prepared, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth, as he said, “But if you agree to work at the company, not only will I lift the limit on your bank cards, but I’ll personally deal with this nonsense from Xu Corporation for you.”
“If there’s a limit… how much money can I have per month?”
Hong Chengtong considered it for a long ti and asked tentatively.
“A hundred thousand.”
Hong An moved his lips and said indifferently.
“What! A hundred thousand! Isn’t that a beggar’s allowance!”
Hong Chengtong beca unsettled, his eyes full of pleading as he stared at Hong An, saying, “Dad, can’t you give a little more, say a million?”
“Take your ti to consider it. I have so matters to attend to, so you may leave.”
Hong An directly ignored his son’s pleading eyes and turned towards his study.
“Fine, I agree, I’ll go to the company!”
Hong Chengtong bit his lip, ultimately agreeing.
Watching Hong An’s face break into a smile, Hong Chengtong was displeased deep down but could only bear it.
At the thought of facing those company veterans at work and dealing with his uncles’ criticism, Hong Chengtong felt overwheld.
“Dad, we have an agreent. I’ll work at the company, and you must help avenge Ning Fan. I want to see his reputation ruined, his company bankrupt, and him reduced to a complete failure!”
While saying this, Hong Chengtong’s eyes radiated a chilling intent.
“Relax, I, Hong An, speak with conviction, a promise is like a nail!”
Hong An impatiently waved his hand, indicating for Hong Chengtong to stop talking.
In his view, as the head of the Hong Family, dealing with an obscure small company was easy; he could shape it however he wanted.
…
Dragon City Branch Company, inside the break room.
Ning Fan, already targeted by the Hong Family, gradually lost the blood-red color in his eyes.
After completely releasing the heat within him, Ning Fan regained his composure.
“What happened?”
Ning Fan murmured to himself.
He only rembered fusing with the Nine Souls Jade and successfully absorbing the green mist, after which he felt engulfed by a giant wave, experiencing extre pain.
As his True Qi boiled and his Dao foundation was unstable, a refreshing breath entered his heart, providing a mont of peace.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the scene before him.
“Have you touched enough? If so, get up.”
A cold voice, like the Siberian wind, abruptly rang in his ear.
Ning Fan looked up and saw Qiu Xiuxiu with tightly pressed lips and faint tear stains on her face as her flushed complexion faded.
“Xiuxiu…”
Ning Fan instinctively called her na, and his mind exploded, rendering him unable to et Qiu Xiuxiu’s eyes.
Despite a quick glance, Ning Fan noticed countless small wounds on Qiu Xiuxiu’s lips, caused by her biting them.
Lowering his gaze, he saw nurous bruises on her flawless body, silently accusing Ning Fan’s violence.
“I…”
Ning Fan opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
“Don’t say anything; regardless of what you want to say, I don’t want to hear a word.”
Qiu Xiuxiu’s voice remained cold, squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth, “Can you get up? I need to get dressed!”
“Oh, oh… alright.”
Ning Fan hurriedly stood up, picked up the clothes scattered beside the bed, and hastily put them on, standing stupefied to the side, avoiding eye contact with Qiu Xiuxiu.
The rustling sound of clothing filled the air, accompanied by Qiu Xiuxiu’s sharp intake of breath.
He knew it was Qiu Xiuxiu touching the bruises on her body.
“Xiuxiu, I’m sorry.”
Ning Fan said softly.
“Don’t say anything; I told you I don’t want to hear your voice!”
After dressing, Qiu Xiuxiu slowly walked toward the break room door.
However, following Ning Fan’s formation that blocked sound and light, the door was sealed, regardless of Qiu Xiuxiu’s actions.
Ning Fan watched as tears welled up in Qiu Xiuxiu’s eyes, silently sighed, and waved his hand to disable the formation in the break room.
The door opened.
“No need for your help!”
Qiu Xiuxiu said angrily, limping out.
“Xiuxiu… what happened?”
Outside the room, Ouyang Feifei, who had just made a pot of coffee in the office, saw Qiu Xiuxiu struggling to hold back her tears.
“Did soone bully you?”
Ouyang Feifei said anxiously, “Tell , I’ll stand up for you!”
She knew Qiu Xiuxiu was introverted and worked in an editorial and clerical role within the Shadow Team.
“Feifei, please don’t worry about , let calm down for a while, okay?”
Qiu Xiuxiu took a deep breath, forcing her voice to maintain a semblance of calm.
“This…”
Watching Qiu Xiuxiu exit, Ouyang Feifei stood sowhat bewildered in place, unsure of what had occurred.
“Mr. Ning.”
Seeing Ning Fan exit the break room, Ouyang Feifei hurriedly greeted him, but her gaze was sowhat strange, hesitant as if she wanted to ask sothing.
Ning Fan avoided Ouyang Feifei’s probing gaze, touched his nose, and sat awkwardly on a chair, asking, “Is there anything going on in the company today?”
“Everything’s normal. Since Vice President Ma knelt at the company’s entrance, everyone has been very united, working very energetically.”
Talking about work, Ouyang Feifei seed more relaxed.
“Co take a walk with .”
After a mont of silence, Ning Fan stood up and softly said.
The presence of Qiu Xiuxiu lingered in the office, unsettling Ning Fan.
What was this? Bullying the weak?
Standing at the company’s entrance, watching the figure gradually fade into the distance, Ning Fan thought helplessly.
