Chapter 160: Chapter 157: Returning to the Company

Today is Thursday, and Nanrong Wanqing is still at work in the company, so Ling Chen and Tang Yuan drove directly to the headquarters of Hongyu Group.

"Hey, Old Tang, didn’t Mr. Han ask you to personally escort that exoskeleton armor to Beijing? When are you leaving?" In the elevator, Ling Chen casually asked.

"It’ll be a few more days. Just after such an incident occurred, Mr. Han and the others are busy dealing with it and don’t have the energy to take care of too many things right now."

"Be careful when you do."

During the conversation, they heard the ’ding’ of a crisp sound, and the elevator arrived at the top floor of Hongyu Group.

Walking into the chairman’s office, Ling Chen saw Nanrong Wanqing sitting in a wheelchair, buried in paperwork at the desk, with a cup of coffee placed aside, its steam already dissipated.

Hearing the door, Nanrong Wanqing lifted her head, her beautiful eyes slightly lighting up as she saw Ling Chen approaching, her thin lips brimming with a faint smile.

"Are you feeling better? Tang Yuan said you’ve been sick recently, and you haven’t been answering calls; everyone’s been worried about you."

Ling Chen smiled and patted his robust chest, "I’m fine, thank you for your concern. Chairman, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go find Captain Zhong now."

He had meant to let Nanrong Wanqing know last time that he had returned to the team.

"Wait a minute!" Nanrong Wanqing pushed her wheelchair around from the desk, "Tang Yuan, you go down first. I have something to talk to Ling Chen about."

"Alright, you two have a good chat." Tang Yuan smiled, sent a suggestive look to Ling Chen, and walked out of the office.

"Take a seat."

Ling Chen, unceremoniously, sat down on the sofa and with a lazy posture said, "What does the chairman want to talk with me about?"

"Nanrong Hao has partnered with others to open several courier companies, did you know that?"

"Did he tell you that?"

Of course, he knew about it. Not only did he know, but Nanrong Hao and his partners also gave him twenty-five percent of the shares. He intended to refuse, but Nanrong Hao, Jiang Hao, and Zhao Zhengxiong all made their stance clear, so his refusal was of no use.

"No, he didn’t tell me; I heard it from others. I heard that he even went to negotiate with someone that day."

Ling Chen immediately realized that there was no wall in the world that did not let some wind through. That night, he took Nanrong Hao to see Qi Jianhui and invoked the Nanrong Family name, which must have been why the matter spread.

Nanrong Wanqing, who controlled the top enterprise of Hongyu Group in East Sea City with substantial assets, had a brother who ran off to start courier companies, which inevitably led to criticism and mockery. Nanrong Wanqing must have heard plenty of gossip, hence her seeking a conversation.

"I know about this, and I was involved. What’s the matter, do you have an opinion on his involvement in this?"

"I have no objections. As long as he is on the right path, I won’t stop whatever he does. But I neither support nor oppose this matter. Besides, if he wants to stand on his own, he can’t use the Nanrong family’s name anymore. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be meaningful for him."

Hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood her meaning and nodded, "I agree."

If Nanrong Hao used the Nanrong Family’s name for business, others would definitely give way and not dare to trouble him too much; some might even take the opportunity to ingratiate themselves with Nanrong Hao to court favor with the Nanrong family. In this manner, it wouldn’t be hard for Nanrong Hao to smoothly build a business.

But Nanrong Wanqing did not wish for this to happen. If one wants to stand on their own, they must learn to endure the hardships; without facing rains and storms, how can one see the rainbow? Only through constant trials can one grow through setbacks.

Her thoughtful intentions as an older sister were commendable.

"I will make it clear that all of Nanrong Hao’s affairs have nothing to do with Hongyu Group. I will not intervene on his behalf, nor will I acknowledge any favors he accepts."

"Okay, I will pass the message on to Haozi, I believe he will be very happy."

"Thank you for that."

After she finished speaking, Nanrong Wanqing pushed her wheelchair back to her desk and continued to busy herself with the company’s affairs.

Ling Chen stood up, walked over to her, picked up the cup of coffee that had gone cold, and replaced it with a cup of warm water.

"Drink less coffee; it’s not good for your health. If you need to stay alert, just call me. I can give you a massage to relieve the fatigue."

Nanrong Wanqing rolled her eyes and her face blushed slightly, but her heart felt warm, with an indescribable taste of sweetness.

Leaving the chairman’s office, Ling Chen took the elevator straight down to the security department on the first floor.

As soon as he entered, he saw Tang Yuan sitting at the desk, chatting with Wei Jun, while Zhong Wei was busy organizing documents.

"Ling Chen, perfect timing, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"Captain Zhong, what’s up?"

"Today, the company held a job fair outside, and there will be a few interviews later. I want to recommend a few former comrades to join the first security team, have a look at them."

"Captain Zhong, you decide on these matters. As they are all your comrades, there should be no problem."

Right now, the first team has too few members, only five including him, Tang Yuan, Zhong Wei, Liang Zhao Hui, and Zhou Qing. Tang Yuan is a ghost member who joined the Hongyu Group because of a mission. Once he delivers the exoskeleton armor back to Beijing, his mission in East Sea City will end, and then there will be only four members left, which will cause a shortage of manpower.

"That won’t do. The chairman has ordered that from now on, any personnel arrangements for the first team must have your consent. Besides, it’s a good opportunity to get to know them," insisted Zhong Wei.

Ling Chen scratched his head. When did Nanrong Wanqing give him this authority? He had no idea.

"Alright, just let me know when they’re here."

"Hey, by the way!" Tang Yuan fiddled with a pen in his hand and casually said, "Snake King has been quiet recently, do you think he has given up?"

"You know him as well as I do. Without a good opportunity, he won’t make a move. In any case, everyone should not let down their guard."

After lunch and a half-hour nap in the office, Ling Chen received a call from Zhong Wei, asking him to join the interview in the meeting room in a few minutes.

With some time to spare, he took the opportunity to go to the restroom and wash his face.

At that moment, a young man with gold-framed glasses rushed in, standing in front of the mirror, looking nervous, continually washing his hands under the tap.

Ling Chen glanced at him and, noticing his unfamiliar face and discomfort, couldn’t help asking, "Friend, you alright?"

"I’m... I’m fine," replied the young man, managing a strained smile.

"Are you a staff member of the company?" He seemed too nervous for comfort, and as security personnel, Ling Chen couldn’t help but be suspicious.

"Not yet, I hope to become an employee of this company in the future."

Ling Chen instantly understood; the young man was here for an interview, no wonder he was so nervous. Smiling, he said, "Don’t be afraid, perk up, have confidence in yourself. I wish you success in your interview in advance."

"Thank you!"
