The top floor of Tengyuan Building is where the senior managent offices are located, and Ning Wanxi's office is right in the center of this floor. A sign on the door reads "President's Office," making it easy to find. Luo Chao walked up to the office door and knocked lightly twice. A captivating yet chilly voice ca from inside: "Co in."
Luo Chao pushed open the door and walked in, closing the office door behind him. The president's office spanned a hundred square ters, composed of an office area and a lounge. It was furnished with a luxurious, large office desk, and at the other end, an array of genuine leather sofas and a coffee table ford a square, exuding grandeur.
At the mont, Ning Wanxi was sitting at the office desk, looking at the docunts in her hand. She was still in her black OL uniform, accentuating her graceful figure. She slightly lifted her head and said in a lukewarm tone, "Have a seat."
For so reason, today President Ning didn't seem as cold as usual; there was a hint of softness in her expression. Luo Chao found it curious, and upon hearing her words, he sat down on the chair opposite the office desk.
"President Ning, what did you call here for?" Luo Chao asked.
Ning Wanxi said blandly, "Do you know that the section chief of the Security Departnt, Li Changfeng, resigned?"
"I'm just an ordinary employee, how would I know," Luo Chao laughed.
Luo Chao had already anticipated that Li Changfeng would do this because Li Changfeng was too cowardly. Just scaring him a bit had made him kneel and kowtow to Luo Chao three tis.
Ning Wanxi stared into his eyes and said, "There's one more thing you might not know. When you were working as a security guard, Li Changfeng wanted to fire you, but I refused."
When Ning Wanxi beca president, she made a rule that any personnel transfers and layoffs must have her approval. She didn't want anyone using personal grudges or interests to make decisions.
Therefore, even if soone wanted to fire a security guard, it needed Ning Wanxi's signature to take effect.
Obviously, there seed to be a grudge between Li Changfeng and Luo Chao. In the nearly thirty years since Tengyuan Group was established, there had never been a resignation application from a cadre above the section level. It's known that even the ordinary employee benefits at Tengyuan Group are quite good, let alone those for upper managent, which is why this matter caught Ning Wanxi's attention.
"Dammit, Li Changfeng actually wanted to kick out, that idiot! Doesn't he see who my wife is?" Luo Chao said indignantly.
Who is your wife? Ning Wanxi almost blurted out in anger, but considering the marriage certificate at ho, even if it was only in na, it indeed justified the words.
"Don't change the subject. I'm not concerned about the grievances between you and Li Changfeng, but I want you to know, don't think that just because I'm your legal wife, you can do whatever you want. Also, rember the terms of our contract — you cannot ntion the relationship between you and to outsiders!"
Ning Wanxi warned coldly, her face like frost, but Luo Chao wasn't fazed. He curled his lips and said, "Don't make it sound like I'm clinging to you."
Even though Luo Chao agreed and signed the prenuptial agreent back then, it was still Ning Wanxi who approached him. With such a windfall, who wouldn't accept?
"You!" Ning Wanxi's shoulders trembled slightly, her small hands clenched into fists, glaring at him, "If you dare say such things to provoke again, I will kill you."
Ning Wanxi, who was born with a silver spoon, and is now the president of Tengyuan Group, had never been treated like this before.
Luo Chao chuckled dryly, "Are you plotting to murder your husband?"
Since the two of them registered their marriage, this was the most intense conflict to break out. Luo Chao felt dissatisfied inside and sneered, "What does Li Changfeng's resignation have to do with ? Since I've promised not to ntion our relationship to anyone, I won't use your na to get Li Changfeng fired. If a couple can't even have basic trust, then this sham marriage should end!"
At this mont, Ning Wanxi fell silent. Perhaps she really had wronged him. Biting her lip, she said, "Let's end this matter here!"
Even if Ning Wanxi realized her mistake, her pride as a woman would not let her admit it. Luo Chao stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Wait," Ning Wanxi called him back, "I heard you cured Xiaoya's father's illness?"
Since he was already standing up, Luo Chao wouldn't sit back down again. Instead, he went over to the sofa opposite, looked at the ashtray on the coffee table, skillfully pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, took a deep puff, and then leisurely exhaled the smoke before saying unhurriedly, "Yeah, sothing like that happened."
Ning Wanxi said seriously, "Luo Chao, I admit, I underestimated you. And now, I find you quite enigmatic. You have many skills, yet you chose to work as a security guard in the company."
Luo Chao laughed, "President Ning, are you complinting or criticizing ?"
Ning Wanxi gently shook her head, "Are you really content with your current life? With your skills, you could completely forge a world of your own!"
Not only did Luo Chao have exceptional abilities, but he also possessed an astounding aptitude for traditional Chinese dicine. With his dical skills, he could earn a fortune after obtaining a dical license — enough for several lifetis.
"President Ning, let put it this way: I very much enjoy my current life and don't wish to beco the center of attention. Do you understand what I an?"
Ning Wanxi said coldly, "I understand, I certainly understand. You're content with diocrity and lack ambition!"
"Darling wife, you're not really seeing as your husband, are you? Whether I succeed or not seems irrelevant to you, right? In two years, when you pay the twenty million commission, won't I be rich?"
At this mont, Luo Chao felt sowhat headache. Could his pretend wife be taking it too seriously? Why does she keep acting like she can't stand his lack of ambition?
Darling wife? Hearing this na, Ning Wanxi's cold face blushed slightly but still seed icy.
"I'm really afraid of you. Let's talk about it when we get ho, I'll listen to your guidance then," Luo Chao stubbed out his cigarette, feigning a headache.
Once back ho, Luo Chao would definitely lock the study door and hide in the room to play gas, not listening to Ning Wanxi at all; Ning Wanxi understood this well.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you," Ning Wanxi spoke again.
Luo Chao rejected outright, "Let's talk at ho!"
"This is business!"
Luo Chao couldn't care less whether it was business or personal matters. After spending half a day here and feeling stifled, as he was about to open the door and leave, his phone rang inappropriately. Seeing that it was from his mother, he realized it wouldn't be a quick chat, so he sat back down on the sofa and pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Xuan, how's work been lately, going smoothly?"
"Mom, I'm not a security guard anymore."
"What happened?" Qin Yu felt a jolt in her heart, almost alarming her into a heart attack. Even a security guard job at a big corporation was quite decent, and it was a job secured with the help of relatives.
"How could you leave such a good job like that? What's wrong with you? You're not young anymore, why do you always make worry? What should I say about you?" Qin Yuzhen's voice choked as she spoke.
