Chapter 24: A Sudden Realization
Zeng Yingying has been the first to arrive and the last to leave every day since joining the company. She works diligently.
Upon seeing that she lacks ability in not too many areas, she just lacks some experience.
Fan Ren waved his hand and promoted Zeng Yingying to the position of Logistics Supervisor.
Her salary also rose from the original 5000 to the current level of 20,000.
And he clearly stated that the longer the employment time, the higher the treatment will rise accordingly.
As long as she has ability, he is not stingy with treatment.
Compared to the investments of tens of billions at every turn, and the several billion in losses for Xinghai after Yun Kang breached the contract, these huge funds.
Salary is just a very small part of the company’s operation process.
“Second Brother, now you can’t hitch a ride with me to and from work anymore, right.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yu Rou beside him and said weakly: “Finally, I can sleep in.”
“You’re insane, you’re talking nonsense before even drinking!”
Su Yu Rou’s face was flushed red, but her hands didn’t stop as she viciously pinched the fat on Liu Jun’s waist.
Fan Ren shook his head, truly speechless at this guy’s lack of filter.
Since you’re not righteous, don’t blame me for not being benevolent: “After this month, I’ll return that house too, and we’ll live separately. You make so much noise every night that I can’t get a good night’s sleep.”
“General Manager Fan! You’re talking nonsense too!”
Amid the crowd’s laughter, Su Yu Rou’s face instantly turned so red it had nowhere to hide, her hands moving nonstop, pinching Liu Jun until he howled ‘ow ow’.
‘Bang!’
At that moment, the wooden sliding door was forcefully rammed opened from outside. Everyone in the room looked toward the door in surprise.
“Xu Min!”
Zeng Yingying exclaimed, then saw Ma Wei’s figure appear behind the door.
“Sorry, this lady has had too much to drink, um?”
Ma Wei’s apology in his mouth paused. In the private room, a group of faces not too unfamiliar to him were now staring at him.
“G-General Manager Fan, General Manager Liu, really sorry, I’ll be responsible for compensation here. This… I brought her here to eat, she had some drinks and ended up like this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Yingying quickly stood up and went forward, laboriously helping the half-unconscious Xu Min to a chair.
Fan Ren withdrew his gaze from Xu Min, his brow slightly furrowed. Xu Min’s state was clearly off. He had interacted with Xu Min for a few years and knew she had some tolerance for alcohol; she could drink some beer and baijiu.
But at this moment, there was no obvious smell of alcohol on her body, and even her closed eyes showed no drunken flush on her face; instead, there was an unnatural pallor.
“Little Ma, where’s the person? I just went to the restroom. Hey? How did you end up here?”
Outside the sliding door, another middle-aged figure appeared.
Liu Jun, who was secretly observing Fan Ren’s reaction, couldn’t help but shout in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.
“General Manager Zhang, how are you here?”
“Eh? General Manager Liu? You’re here too? I…”
“Cough, it’s like this. General Manager Zhang and I have some personal ties. We’re having dinner here today, and we happened to bring Xu Min… well, one thing led to another, and she drank too much. Very sorry, General Manager Fan, General Manager Liu. I’ll cover the losses here. Um, I’ll take Xu Min away first.”
Ma Wei hurriedly interrupted, winking at General Manager Zhang while stepping forward to help the semi-conscious Xu Min up and take her away.
During this time, Zeng Yingying had been observing Xu Min and noticed that her current state was clearly different from being drunk.
As dorm mates, they occasionally bought some beer to gather for meals, and Xu Min had gotten drunk before, but her state was clearly not like this.
After all, it was a relationship built over many years of living together; there was bound to be some real affection.
At this moment, seeing Ma Wei about to help Xu Min away, she was anxious and didn’t know how to speak up, so she could only look to Fan Ren for help.
She was worried something would happen to Xu Min.
“Wait.”
As Fan Ren spoke, Liu Jun also stood up and silently walked forward.
Looking at Ma Wei whose face was gradually darkening, Fan Ren sighed inwardly.
“Leave the person here. Later, Zeng Yingying will send her back.”
Hearing this, Zeng Yingying immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to handle it discreetly; she also knew how awkward a role Fan Ren was playing in this.
Ma Wei’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, staring at Fan Ren for a long time.
He wanted to just swallow it, but a stifled anger built up in his chest, making it hard to breathe.
“She has nothing to do with you anymore, right!”
As soon as he spoke, Ma Wei saw a black shadow flash by. Before he could dodge, he felt a heavy blow to his forehead, followed by uncontrollable dizziness.
“Ma le ge bi de, giving you face, huh? I spared you once last time, and now you’re pushing your luck?”
Liu Jun threw away the remaining half beer bottle in his hand, shook his hand, and kept cursing.
As he spoke, he looked up at General Manager Zhang standing outside with a horrified expression and raised an eyebrow: “General Manager Zhang, sorry about this. This punk dodged a beating last time, but this time he ran into the gun barrel. Do you want to stay here or head back to rest first?”
Recently, for the charging pile matter, he had interacted a lot with this General Manager Zhang. He knew the man’s character very well.
The words greedy and lecherous were tailor-made for him.
Xu Min’s current ghostly state was most likely his handiwork.
‘Bang’
Ma Wei stumbled against the wall and slumped to the ground, clutching his forehead. The intense pain from his head made him panic a bit.
His hand also felt intermittent warm flows. Ma Wei instinctively held his hand out in front of his eyes to look.
It was full of bright red.
“Quick, help me call an ambulance!”
As soon as he spoke, his eyes rolled back and he passed out directly.
City hospital.
Ma Wei’s injury looked scary but wasn’t serious. Passing out was mainly due to fright.
After simple bandaging by the doctor, he didn’t even mention compensation and slipped away dejectedly.
But on the other side, Xu Min still hadn’t woken up.
Looking at the lab report in his hand, under the doctor’s explanation, Fan Ren learned that Xu Min had ingested a drug that could quickly cause coma.
Fortunately, the dosage wasn’t much; she would naturally wake up after a few hours of coma, though upon waking, she would experience severe nausea and headache.
In the ward, Zeng Yingying gazed worriedly at Xu Min lying on the hospital bed, lost in thought.
Ridiculously, a few months ago when she was still part-time, she had envied Xu Min when she was arranged into Deli work.
Looking now, the kind of plot that only appears in film and television dramas had actually happened to Xu Min in such a real way.
If not for her collapsing right at the door of their private room today.
Thinking of this, Zeng Yingying shuddered all over, not daring to imagine that terrifying scene further.
Thoughtfully adjusting the AC temperature to a comfortable level for Xu Min, she gently stepped out.
“General Manager Fan, thank you for today. If you hadn’t been there, Xu Min might have…”
She didn’t have the nerve to say the rest.
Fan Ren shook his head, unconcerned, and turned to ask Liu Jun beside him: “What about General Manager Zhang’s side?”
“Low-class scum, perfectly in cahoots with that Ma Wei. But the cooperation is probably off.”
Thinking of this, Liu Jun couldn’t help but regret his earlier impulsiveness a bit.
You know, in the Linhai area, this General Manager Zhang owned quite a few large parking lots. If the deal went through this time, Xinghai’s wireless charging piles would truly break into the Linhai market.
Fan Ren lightly punched him and smiled: “Feels good, right?”
“You bet? Damn, last time if not for worrying about troubling the boss, I would’ve hammered him long ago. Now it’s great, my mind is clear, I can sleep well tonight.”
“Haha.”
Fan Ren didn’t mind at all, gave him a thumbs up, then turned to Zeng Yingying: “The doctor just said she might wake up naturally in one or two hours. Then she can be discharged and rest at home for two days. If there’s nothing else, shall we head back first?”
Seeing that Fan Ren didn’t even mention Xu Min’s name, Zeng Yingying felt a flash of helplessness in her heart.
But she also knew that Fan Ren had clearly stated his position before graduation.
Thinking about it now, he really had foresight; otherwise, who knows how disgusted he would’ve been by Ma Wei.
Thinking of Ma Wei’s disgusting face, Zeng Yingying couldn’t help but get angry.
“I really didn’t expect him to be such a person. It’s just a pity for Xu Min…”
Before she finished speaking, realizing Fan Ren was still there, saying this now would embarrass him, so she quickly patted her lips lightly with an apologetic expression.
Fan Ren didn’t mind, instructed Zeng Yingying again that she could call him if she needed any help, and at the end whispered something quietly in her ear before pulling the curiosity-exploding Liu Jun and leaving the hospital.
