Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Where to Touch? Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Where to Touch? Manager Xu, oblivious to the danger, ranted in front of Nan Qiao, his attitude extremely arrogant. “So what if you’re the appointed head from above? Do you understand design? Have you studied design and management? How much profit can you bring to the company? I guess you’re just here to add a feather to your cap and you’ll be gone soon, right? I advise you, better to mind less of others’ business.” Nan Qiao coldly laughed, quietly listening to Manager Xu vent all his angry words. Nan Qiao hadn’t expected such a small company to be so full of rot. Without clearing out the rot, how could one maintain and grow the company? Seeing Nan Qiao not speaking, Manager Xu’s gaze gradually became greedy, smiling at Nan Qiao, “As long as you know the ways of the office, you and I could cooperate, not stepping on each other’s toes, prospering together, wouldn’t that be good?” How ridiculous! Nan Qiao snorted sarcastically, standing up to loom over Manager Xu, “Manager Xu, the company isn’t owned by your family. You embezzle company funds like this, just wait for a lawsuit.” Nan Qiao got up to leave, and Manager Xu watched her leave, his eyes gleaming with a murderous intent. “Since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, I won’t be polite either!” ... Nan Qiao was busy until six in the evening, when Bai Zhenyang called. “Darling, haven’t you left work yet? Dad’s car just happens to be passing by; how about I take you out for dinner? Your mom is here too, today’s your first day at work, we should celebrate.” Nan Qiao felt warmth in her heart, touched that her parents were celebrating this occasion. Who wouldn’t like being valued by their family? “I’ve just finished. Wait for me at the intersection; I’ll be there soon.” “Okay, your mom and I are already at the intersection, you’ll see our car when you get here.” “Alright.” Nan Qiao hung up, packed up her things, and left the office. She left while Rong Yan was still there. Rong Yan seemed hesitant, as if he had something to tell her. Nan Qiao smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?” Rong Yan whispered, “Boss, Manager Xu holds grudges; he probably won’t let you off easily. Please be careful.” “Thank you, I will be.” Nan Qiao smiled and left, a plan already forming in her heart. Let Manager Xu try to harm her; he’d have to see if he had the ability! ... Nan Qiao walked to the intersection where Uncle Wang got out of the car and opened the door for her. This scene was precisely witnessed by Manager Xu and Dong Fei. He took out his phone and snapped a picture: “Nan Qiao presenting herself as so righteous and dignified, isn’t she just a promiscuous woman playing the other woman’s role! That man could be her father, and yet isn’t she still smiling and trying to please him?” Dong Fei nodded in agreement, “Manager Xu is right, it’s just her being the new boss throwing her weight around, too bad we’re not buying it. The company isn’t her family property; she wants to be the boss, but it all depends if you agree or not.” Listening to these remarks, Manager Xu felt extremely satisfied; these words struck a chord in his heart. “Xiao Dong, you know how to speak. Once I drive this bratty girl out, I’ll make you a manager.” Dong Fei beamed, flattering, “Thank you, Manager Xu, oh, I mean, President Xu. Thank you for your nurturing, I will definitely support you wholeheartedly.” Manager Xu showed a smug expression and walked away with Dong Fei. ... Nan Qiao sat in the car, in her left hand a milk tea handed to her by Chen Xinwan, and in her right, a double beef cheeseburger handed to her by Bai Zhenyang. Chen Xinwan: “Qiaoqiao, take a sip of milk tea to clear your throat. How was your first day at work? Did anyone bully you?” Bai Zhenyang: “Baby girl, have a bite of the burger if you’re hungry; it’s freshly made, say the cheese is stretchy when eaten hot.” Nan Qiao took a sip of milk tea and then bit into the burger. Anything brought by her parents always tasted delightful. “I’m doing well at the company, there were some issues to handle, so I might get off work late. Mom, Dad, haven’t you ever sent someone to manage this company before?” Bai Zhenyang: “We sent Xiao Wang before, then when you went to the company, it was handed over to Xiao Xu.” Nan Qiao understood; having a large family business meant they couldn’t cover everything. If that’s the case, then she would handle this chaotic company. Chen Xinwan quickly picked up on something off, “Qiaoqiao, darling, is there some problem at the company? You have to tell us immediately; we can find some management experts to help you.” Nan Qiao smiled and shook her head, “No need, I can handle it. If I really can’t, I’ll ask for your help then.” Saying so, Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang naturally followed her lead. Nan Qiao would also need to manage other companies in the future; right now, she still needed to train alone. The car arrived at Jin Jiang Hotel’s entrance, and Nan Qiao entered with her parents. As soon as they sat down in a private room, Li Yehan and Old Mr. Li knocked and came in. Old Mr. Li spoke jovially, “Qiaoqiao, you and Yehan are truly fated. What a coincidence, isn’t it just too coincidental?” Li Yehan politely nodded, “Uncle, Auntie, Qiaoqiao, good evening.” Nan Qiao, also quite surprised, responded, “Good evening.” To think they’d meet here? Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang were equally curious, how come Old Mr. Li and Li Yehan were also here? What a coincidence indeed! Old Mr. Li sat down, giving Li Yehan a look, who then sat next to Nan Qiao, Old Mr. Li grinning broadly. Li Yehan explained, “Grandpa and I came to dine and happened to see you were here too; we wanted to stop by to say hello.” Old Mr. Li chuckled, “Qiaoqiao, since it’s such a coincidence, why don’t we join our tables? It’ll be a feast with more dishes.” What else could Bai Zhenyang say but nod in agreement, “Sure, let’s do as Uncle Li suggests.” Li Yehan poured a glass of water for Nan Qiao, placing it in front of her, “It’s not hot, you can drink.” Nan Qiao, indeed thirsty from the busy day, eagerly needed water. “Thank you.” Nan Qiao picked up the glass and gulped down half the water. Soon after, the dishes arrived, and Li Yehan reached over to peel shrimp for Nan Qiao. The man’s fingers were slender, and his shrimp peeling was graceful, making Old Mr. Li smile until it hurt. “Qiaoqiao, you and Yehan sitting together are like a match made in heaven, a perfect pair. Tonight, I discussed with your grandpa; we think it’s time our families proceed with the marriage arrangement. Qiaoqiao, just look at Yehan, he can still make some money, just accept him already.” Nan Qiao: ... How eager is Grandpa Li for a great-grandchild? Chen Xinwan laughed, declining, “Uncle Li, we’ve just reunited with Qiaoqiao; we want her to stay with us for a few more years.” Old Mr. Li sternly added, “You are absolutely right, which is why I plan to have Yehan marry into your family.” Nan Qiao spluttered, accidentally spitting water onto Li Yehan’s legs. As she spat out the water, she inadvertently turned her head, and unfortunately, it all landed on his legs. Nan Qiao instinctively grabbed a napkin to help him, apologizing while wiping, but her hand touched something slightly hard. When she realized what it was, her face turned bright red. Li Yehan grabbed her hand, his voice very low, “Where are you touching?”
