"Divine Doctor Ning, what is going on here? Why did you have a conflict with Long Tianze? As far as I know, he's not someone you'd want to mess with,
his influence in Su City is huge. If you really have a vendetta against him, you must be careful!"
Although Huo Qiuran called Ning Fan 'God Doctor Ning,' appearing somewhat distant, her affection and concern were unmistakably evident.
The eagle beside her widened his eyes. He knew about Huo Qiuran; she was the Queen of Zhonghai. Could it be that Jiuye had some unspeakable relationship with her?
Ning Fan gave a slight smile, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "It was just a misunderstanding, don't worry about it. I'm leaving."
"Divine Doctor Ning..."
Huo Qiuran hesitated for a moment but still called out.
However, Ning Fan walked away without turning back, leaving only the infinitely melancholic Huo Qiuran behind.
"Miss Huo, I'll take my leave now, until we meet again!"
The eagle didn't dare to treat Huo Qiuran with the same disregard as Ning Fan, and respectfully bowed to her before leaving the private room.
After leaving the residence, the eagle gripped Ning Fan's hand, excitedly saying, "Jiuye, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you,
I would have been truly aggrieved without even knowing why. It would be great if Jiuye could return to Jianghu!"
After hearing the eagle's words, Ning Fan's lips curled into a bitter smile, and he spread his hands, saying, "The Jianghu nowadays is no longer the same as before. I have no interest in getting involved,
so let's not talk about these matters anymore. I won't be involved with Jianghu again. My intervening this time was only because of the old brotherhood."
The eagle pursed his lips, hesitated several times, but ultimately didn't say the words of dissuasion.
He knew that once Ning Fan made a decision, it was nearly impossible for anyone else to change it.
Watching Ning Fan's departing figure, the eagle sighed softly, murmuring, "If only Jiuye could come back, that would be great."
That night, after being defeated by Ning Fan and severely warned by Huo Qiuran, Long Tianze had no desire to stay in Zhonghai City. He took the fastest flight back to Su City that same night,
even forgoing his usual demand for business class and taking an economy seat instead.
It was only after arriving at the Dragon Gate Martial Arts School in Su City that Long Tianze finally felt relieved.
"This woman, Huo Qiuran, is really no good. We paid her twenty million just to rent her residence, and she still spoke up for that Ning Fan. It's infuriating!"
Long Zhixin cursed loudly on the side.
With an expressionless face, Long Tianze's fingers trembled slightly as he held the Bible.
Long Yao stood in Long Tianze's study, his head lowered, but his eyes unhideably cold and sinister as he said in a low voice, "Lord Long, I just don't get it. Why are you so afraid of Jiuye? He's been out of Jianghu for so many years,
he's no longer a threat. Just give the word, Lord Long, and I'll take the brothers straight to Zhonghai City and deal with him. And if that Huo Qiuran woman has any complaints, I'll take care of her too!"
A crisp slap left Long Yao somewhat dazed.
"Useless trash, you can't even beat the Hall Master of Dragon Eagle Hall, Old Eagle, and you dare talk about revenge? Do you know how terrifying Jiuye's strength is!"
Long Tianze felt his hands were slightly trembling at this moment.
Others might not know, but within the Emperor's Hall suite of the mansion, having exchanged a punch with Ning Fan, Long Tianze was incredibly clear.
The power contained in that punch was definitely not something he could contend with!
Even if he mobilized all his forces and swooped down from Su City to Zhonghai City with great vigor to deal with Ning Fan, it would be too difficult.
Zhonghai City was so vast, and Ning Fan's skills were so terrifying that Long Tianze simply could not afford to endure. Moreover, now with Queen Huo Qiuran of Zhonghai clearly supporting Ning Fan, Long Tianze felt even more like he was walking on thin ice.
After parting with the eagle, the next day, Ning Fan continued to go to work at the company, he had observed for a long time before daring to walk to the base of the company building.
The reason, of course, was due to Yaki Haruko, the female security captain of Lv Real Estate.
However, today he did not see her presence.
Ning Fan could not help but feel great, whistling as he walked in.
Yet, just as he arrived at the human resources department, from a distance, he saw Lan Kexin.
At that moment, Lan Kexin in the human resources department was being pestered by a middle-aged man.
Ning Fan slightly frowned, recognizing the man, although his attendance at Xu Corporation was sporadic, he was a high-ranking member of the Xu Corporation's board of directors,
and on several occasions when he was in meetings with Xu Ruolan, he had even greeted Ning Fan.
This man was named Lv Zhengliang, a close friend and business partner of Xu Ruolan's father, an early entrepreneur of Xu Corporation and had stakes in the company.
"Kexin, are you free tonight? Let's discuss the future plans of the human resources department together, shall we?"
Lv Zhengliang chuckled, grabbing the sleeve of Lan Kexin's blouse and whispering, but his eyes showed no restraint, brazenly scanning her body as if trying to see through her business attire.
Lan Kexin slightly frowned but found it difficult to outright refuse, forcing a smile, she said, "Mr. Lv, you really know how to joke. You've been retired for several years now, what more about human resources work, and my level is so low, I fear I might not grasp your spirit. If you have any suggestions, perhaps you'd better convey them to President Xu."
"Hey, don't say that. It's because you can't comprehend that you need to learn,"
Lv Zhengliang chuckled, saying, "Kexin, you're a young woman, in this workplace, no matter how hard you work, you still can't achieve the same performance as others. This is the time when you need to think of a solution."
Patting his chest, Lv Zhengliang continued, "As it happens, I have some matters at hand, and I also feel that you have potential. I believe that as long as you understand my teaching and spirit,
it wouldn't be difficult for you to have smooth sailing in Xu Corporation in the future!"
"Mr. Lv, I'm not quite sure what you mean, I still have work to do, I must be going now!"
Lan Kexin's smile was embarrassingly awkward, pushing away Lv Zhengliang's somewhat chaotic hands and striding forward.
Lv Zhengliang's expression became urgent, he grabbed Lan Kexin, whispering, "Lan Kexin, don't play dumb with me. If you follow me, I can directly help you obtain the position of company director,
which is what you have always dreamed of, don't deny wanting to be a director!"
Lan Kexin angrily pushed Lv Zhengliang away, shouting, "Even if I want to become a director, I would achieve it through step-by-step advancement of my own professional capabilities, Mr. Lv, please have some dignity!"
Such forthright words, added to her undisguised disgust, instantly made Lv Zhengliang's face hard to maintain.
