60: Chapter 060: The word ‘beg’ is not in my dictionary!
Soon, the incident where Ning Fan grabbed the fire extinguisher and confronted Situ Nan spread quickly to every corner of the company.
The senior staff didn’t need to mention it; they had witnessed that scene, which was still clear in their minds.
To the surprise of these senior staff, Xu Ruolan only scolded Ning Fan to his face for a while, and then it was over, as if the page had been turned.
They unanimously agreed that the president had become much more lenient with people.
If it were the old days, a single word from the president would have sent the little security guard packing.
“This little security guard is something else, actually managed to get the president to let him off the hook.”
This news first trickled down from the upper echelons, and now, even the cleaning staff in the company were aware of Ning Fan’s ‘heroic feats,’ occasionally discussing and admiring Ning Fan’s boldness.
Watching Situ Nan leave in a fury, Ning Fan then returned to the security department, where all the security brothers gave him a thumbs-up.
“Big Boss Ning Fan, you even dared to confront Situ Nan; you’ve got some guts.”
“What else can you expect from someone personally arranged by the beautiful president herself?
Big Boss Ning Fan, you’re flying high.”
“If you ask me, this Situ Nan isn’t even in Brother Ning’s league.
Spraying him in the face was nothing; let him try going a few rounds with Brother Ning’s fists and see if he can still stand!”
Ning Fan handed out cigarettes to everyone and lit one himself, slowly blowing out smoke rings.
“Not to brag, but forget about him; the people I’ve confronted are of a much higher caliber than him.
Situ Nan is nothing!” he said.
Instantly, the security guards were taken aback.
Although they all knew Ning Fan was talking big, none of them would have dared to spray Situ Nan in the face.
“Exactly, exactly, what’s a Situ Nan worth?” the security guards flattered one after another.
Ning Fan was quite enjoying it and continued, “We are all security guards after all, and it’s our duty to protect the boss from harassment.”
“That’s right, Situ Nan might be a big shot in Zhonghai City, but if he thinks he can come to Xu Corporation and show off, he’s mistaken!”
“And the nerve of that guy, daring to have designs on our beautiful president!”
The security guards chatted merrily, all agreeing, and in no time, they had disparaged the high and mighty Situ Nan as nothing special.
Ning Fan knew that Situ Nan was not as hopeless as the security guards claimed, but since that guy dared to have designs on his wife, he deserved a good denouncement.
So, Ning Fan found their words quite pleasing to the ear.
Before long, Ning Fan was getting along famously with the other guards, all smiles and laughter.
It was then that the security team leader Zhu Xuetao turned up at the security department, and he was in a very bad mood.
You could say he had been unhappy for a while, ever since Ning Fan arrived, he hadn’t had a good day.
The push-up competition he had with Ning Fan on that day had ended disastrously for him, losing all face and being unable to hold his head high in front of the other security guards.
Moreover, Zhu Xuetao noticed that his goddess, Lan Kexin, was getting quite close to Ning Fan.
Not only had he been publicly embarrassed, but now his goddess was being stolen away from him?
How could this be allowed?
Despite his feelings, he hadn’t found a good opportunity to punish Ning Fan, but now that he got wind of Ning Fan confronting Situ Nan.
Zhu Xuetao felt he had finally found his chance.
He marched into the security department, face twitching with muscles bulging and veins throbbing.
Seeing the team leader’s angry face, everyone quickly scattered to get back to work.
When the others left, Ning Fan remained seated, smoking.
“Ning Fan, aren’t you impressive, confronting Situ Nan like that?” Zhu Xuetao couldn’t help but feel anger rising as soon as he saw Ning Fan.
“Starting from now, you’re fired, got it?”
Ning Fan was in his own world when suddenly he heard Zhu Xuetao’s statement and was stunned.
“What gives you the right?
Look at the great job you’ve done today!
You sprayed President Situ, do you realize how serious the consequences are?
Do you know how big a mess I have to clean up now?
People will say I failed to manage you all, do you want to kill me?”
“As of now, you can leave; we don’t need you on the security team anymore!”
Zhu Xuetao snickered, seeing a golden opportunity.
If he didn’t fire Ning Fan, he’d be a fool, and he’d really have let himself down.
He had to watch every day as Ning Fan took advantage of Goddess Lan Kexin; he couldn’t stand it any longer!
“Chief Zhu, think carefully, I’ll give you one more chance.”
Ning Fan remained seated, flicking the ash off his cigarette.
Zhu Xuetao was furious.
Ning Fan was still so arrogant, completely disregarding his words, leaving him, the head of security, no place to save face.
“You’re fired, effective immediately!”
Ning Fan was unfazed, looking at the fuming Zhu Xuetao and said with a smile, “Since Chief Zhu wants me to leave, just make sure you don’t regret it and beg me to come back.”
Zhu Xuetao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, thinking how simple it was to fire someone.
The idea of him begging Ning Fan to return…
He had never begged anyone in his life.
Zhu Xuetao scoffed, “Rest assured, the word ‘beg’ is definitely not in my dictionary, and it never will be!”
Zhu Xuetao had long been displeased with Ning Fan, and seizing this opportunity, why would he let go?
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to miss this chance, only to end up with Ning Fan taking his place as leader of the team—where would he go to cry then?
The other security guards couldn’t help but feel indignation upon hearing Zhu Xuetao’s words.
Everyone in the security department knew what Zhu Xuetao was like—although he looked like a simple and burly oaf.
But in reality, Zhu Xuetao was not popular with his colleagues; he took advantage of his position as the head of security and acted duplicitously.
He was downright despicable!
There was nobody in the security department who hadn’t been bullied by Zhu Xuetao, but he was quite good at sucking up to his superiors.
Now it was finally Ning Fan’s turn, and he was being fired outright…
Ning Fan had a decent reputation; he was amiable and got along well with every brother in the security team.
Except for Zhu Xuetao, the chief, who had held a grudge from a previous contest and would not miss the opportunity for payback now.
“Chief Zhu, isn’t this going a bit too far?
Ning Fan didn’t do anything wrong.
Even if he laid a hand on President Situ, the president didn’t say anything about Ning Fan, much less tell him to leave!”
Finally, a fellow security colleague stood up to speak for Ning Fan.
Zhu Xuetao snapped, “Do you want to get out too, or are you begging me to let you stay?”
Suddenly, the rest of the security team recoiled in fear, not daring to speak further—they couldn’t afford to lose their jobs…
Ning Fan curled his lip, hugged the security colleague, and shook his head at him with a smile.
Then he stood up, his eyes narrowed and said, “Chief Zhu, your dictionary doesn’t have the word ‘beg’ in it, right?”
“Then your dictionary is incomplete, it needs rewriting!”
With that, Ning Fan stubbed out his cigarette and slipped off his security uniform, walking out of the company with poise.
Watching Ning Fan leave, Zhu Xuetao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, finally, the fellow had left!
