Chapter 121: Video Call
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fang Yuan found herself unable to resist his persistence, and she eventually gave in. Shortly thereafter, she received a video call.
As Fang Yuan answered the call, she heard a knock on her office door.
“Come in!”
“President Fang, your coffee,” Wang Ning said as he placed the cup on the table, unaware of the ongoing video call as it was discreetly propped against the tissue box.
“President Fang, you’re becoming quite the legend! The entire company is singing your praises for your heroic actions. Someone even composed a poem in your honor!”
“Oh?” Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow, taking a sip of her coffee, her interest piqued.
“I’ll recite it for you!” Wang Ning cleared his throat. “When President Fang is enraged, you’d better beware. If she calls your name, you’ll dine in despair. With President Fang’s presence, the wrongdoers all lose. Thanks to President Fang, you’ll stand tall and bruise. Whether tiger or dragon, heed this advice: Surrender to her now, it would be very wise. When President Fang strikes, you won’t survive. She’ll send you to heaven in the blink of an eye!”
Fang Yuan was left momentarily speechless. What on earth?
The person on the other end of the video call appeared to be amused by the poem.
“President Fang, it’s clear from this poem that everyone holds you in high esteem. When you confronted those five individuals today with the evidence, you were truly impressive! Do you know what the folks in the company are saying?”
Wang Ning’s voice was full of excitement. “The female employees are saying they can’t wait to marry you because you’re so impressive! Even a few male colleagues are planning to confess their feelings to you after work.”
Fang Yuan took another sip of her coffee and nearly choked.
“They’re saying that you’ve arrested seven wrongdoers within a week of joining the company. As for the production line workers… they��ve started betting that in less than a week, you’ll have Zhao Quan behind bars!”
With a grin, Wang Ning leaned closer to Fang Yuan. “President Fang, 1 also placed a ten-yuan bet. I wonder if 1’11 win…”
Fang Yuan responded casually, “That’s too low.”
Wang Ning: “What?”
Fang Yuan, with an air of indifference, suggested, “Let’s raise the stakes.”
Wang Ning instantly grew enthusiastic. “President Fang, are you really confident? If you are, I’ll wager all my assets!”
Fang Yuan.”….”
“But there’s not enough evidence at the moment. The police might release him…” Wang Ning expressed regret.
Fang Yuan, with a hint of intrigue, replied, “Isn’t it a good thing if they release him?”
“Huh?” Wang Ning didn’t quite grasp his perspective.
Nobody could fathom Fang Yuan’s thoughts, but her unwavering confidence left Wang Ning with a sense that he might win this bet. He decided to up the ante later!
“Oh, by the way, Zhao Quan has significant connections at the headquarters… You should be cautious.”
“Alright,” Fang Yuan dismissed it lightly. She believed that no matter how influential someone’s connections were, they would have to surrender when confronted with irrefutable evidence.
“President Fang, you’re already so assertive at such a young age. What kind of remarkable figure will you choose for a husband in the future?” Wang Ning gazed at Fang Yuan’s composed countenance and suddenly asked.
Fang Yuan glanced at the man on the video call who was also looking at her. Her aura was undeniably powerful, but Bo Yi had his own merits.
Wang Ning added, “President Fang, do you dare to make a bet?”
Fang Yuan inquired, “What are we betting on?”
“I bet that your future husband will undoubtedly be an extraordinary individual! He’ll be, at the very least, tall, wealthy, and handsome! With your looks, he can’t possibly be anything less!”
“Got some free time on your hands?” Fang Yuan remarked casually. “Why don’t you fill all those five empty seats?”
“President Fang, I suddenly recalled I have some unfinished work. I’ll leave for now,” Wang Ning was about to make his escape when he suddenly heard a male voice.
“Master Bo, 1 need you to review these documents.”
It was Mu Qing’s voice as he entered Bo Yi’s office, seeking Bo Yi’s input on a few projects.
Hearing this, Wang Ning halted in his tracks. “President Fang? Why do I hear a man’s voice? Do you have a man hiding in your office?”
On the other side, Mu Qing also picked up on Wang Ning’s voice and inquired curiously, “Master Bo, who’s speaking?”
At that moment, Mu Qing and Wang Ning simultaneously realized that their boss was engaged in a video call. The expressions on their faces shifted to one of astonishment.
Wang Ning, in particular, had his mouth hanging so wide open that it could seemingly accommodate two eggs at once.
“President… President Fang, you… When did you meet such a high-profile figure?”
“Are you, you’re on a video call?” Oh my goodness! He must be daydreaming! He actually saw that familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face on President Fang’s phone! It’s Bo Yi, the richest man in the world! Weren’t they saying he doesn’t get close to women? Why is he video-calling President Fang?
“President, President Fang? You, you…”
“Yuanyuan, aren’t you going to introduce him?” There was a hint of amusement in Bo Yi’s voice. “Is this your assistant?”
Yuanyuan! The fact that Big Boss Bo was addressing President Fang so intimately left everyone dumbfounded!
Fang Yuan was at a loss for words. This guy seemed to have no boundaries!
“Hello, President Bo… I’m Wang Ning. I serve as President Fang’s assistant,” Wang Ning stated respectfully while bowing nearly 90 degrees, “It’s a privilege to meet you today. I wasn’t aware you were in a video call with President Fang. My apologies for any interruption… Are you President Fang’s… boyfriend?”
Bo Yi said, “Fiance..”
