Zhou Jinbei’s perfume suddenly assaulted his nose, and Zhan Beijue found it unappealing.
He instinctively reached out to block her, motioning for her to sit half a step away from him.
He lazily glanced at her screen and saw she had taken a screenshot related to Jiang Nanfang.
Did Zhou Jinxiu just make a move?
He made a move on Jiang Nanfang?
What did that mean?
“What woman lives opposite me? What about changing girlfriends? What are you talking about?”
He pretended not to understand.
Zhou Jinbei enthusiastically explained, “It’s that woman, the one from Tianfu International that day…”
“How did she end up with him?”
“They happened to be on a business trip to Chongqing and ran into each other.”
Zhou Jinbei, completely oblivious to his changing expression, recounted it like a joke.
“When they returned today, they talked the entire flight. After getting off the plane, he asked for her WeChat. It seems my brother really has some charm.”
“……”
Damn Jiang Nanfang, after only a few hours apart, she actually exchanged WeChat information with another man behind his back?
Was she that casual, that unable to be without a man, that fond of attracting attention?
She kept saying she loved the children and wanted to take them away from Nancheng. Hah, what a joke!
“Swoosh!”
Without any warning, Zhan Beijue stood up from the sofa with a dark expression and left.
Back in his study, he impatiently took out his phone and called Azhong: “Azhong.”
“I’m here, President Zhan.”
“How is the handling of Jiang Nanfang’s mother’s inheritance?”
“Yesterday was the weekend, and Mr. Zhang, the lawyer, was on a business trip, so he wasn’t informed. I just explained the situation to him today, and he’s started the process.”
“Don’t worry, President Zhan, the result will definitely be out by the end of the workday this afternoon at the latest.”
Zhan Beijue gritted his teeth: “No need. Focus on your proper work. Tell him to drop it.”
“??”
Zhan Beijue hung up the phone.
Back at the company, a new batch of samples with revised drawings was produced. Jiang Nanfang personally took them to the lab to test their performance.
The basic performance tests yielded data, and there were no issues. Other results would be available tomorrow. With some free time, she went to chat with Vice President Gao.
“Didn’t you promise to assign me a car if I stayed to work? Why hasn’t it been arranged yet?”
Vice President Gao was too busy and had overlooked this matter. He slapped his forehead.
“Look at me! I’m getting old, my memory isn’t good, and when I’m busy, I forget. I’m sorry you had to take taxis for so long.”
“Because assigning a car involves a significant amount of money, and according to procedure, an application needs to be submitted for President Zhan’s personal approval.”
“But Engineer Jiang is different from others. I’ll bend the rules for you.”
With that, he grinned, took out his phone, and dialed, “I’ll call President Zhan right now to apply for it, and you’ll get an answer immediately.”
No wonder Jiang Nanfang liked Vice President Gao.
He valued her so much and was so friendly, she couldn’t bear to disappoint him.
Zhan Beijue, having just finished talking to Azhong, impatiently picked up an engineering book. He hadn’t even flipped through a few pages when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, then lazily answered: “Hello.”
“President Zhan.”
“Speak directly if you have something to say.”
“Oh, it’s like this. When I hired Engineer Jiang to stay with the company, I privately promised to assign her a dedicated car later.”
“I was busy in the Northwest for over a month before, so it wasn’t needed, and I didn’t mention it. Now that she’s back, I can’t break my promise. What do you think…”
Jiang Nanfang, it was Jiang Nanfang again.
Vice President Gao himself was calling to request a car for her?
From the technicians to the senior leaders, and the rich second-generation individuals in between, all the men were flocking around her. She was truly captivating!
“What are the company’s regulations regarding car assignments? Doesn’t Vice President Gao know? Levels below department manager don’t have car privileges, and she’s just a technician.”
Vice President Gao nodded with a smile on the other end of the phone: “Yes, the company’s previous regulations were indeed like that. But Engineer Jiang has special circumstances.”
“??” Zhan Beijue frowned, “What’s so special about her? How is she special?”
Vice President Gao said, “The new product has been developed, and I’ve roughly reviewed the samples. There are basically no issues, and I believe it can be mass-produced soon.”
“Our affiliated factory was moved to the Huayao Industrial Zone last year, wasn’t it? President Zhan, you might not be aware of how far the Huayao Industrial Zone is from the company. Without a dedicated vehicle, it’s very inconvenient to go there.”
“Once production starts, Engineer Jiang, as the lead engineer, will have to travel back and forth frequently. It will be difficult for her to carry out her work without a car.”
Zhan Beijue hadn’t expected it to be for this reason.
He was now convinced that this stubborn woman Jiang Nanfang was scheming in every aspect, trying to win over men.
She found such a good excuse that it was hard to refute. He had truly underestimated her before.
“If what you say is true, after assigning her a car, you’ll also need to assign her a separate driver?”
“Because the journey is long and unsafe on the road, it would be best if he were young and strong.”
Vice President Gao, unaware of the underlying implication in his words, glanced at Jiang Nanfang opposite him.
“There’s no need to assign a driver, is there? You can drive yourself, right?”
Jiang Nanfang shook her head, “No need.”
Vice President Gao thought she was very accommodating: “She can drive herself. She said she doesn’t mind the car brand or anything; as long as it has four wheels and can run, that’s fine.”
Tch, as long as it has four wheels, she doesn’t pick?
She was really good at putting it.
Zhan Beijue thought for a moment: “Alright. I’ll have Azhong arrange this. You don’t need to worry about it.”
President Zhan agreed, and Vice President Gao, satisfied, hung up the phone and told Jiang Nanfang to bear with it for a couple more days.
Zhan Beijue called Azhong.
“I recall your girlfriend was urging you to get married recently, asking for a house and a car. Was there such a thing?”
Azhong hadn’t expected that even though he always lowered his voice when making calls and turned away, everything still escaped President Zhan’s notice.
Not knowing why he was suddenly asking this, Azhong replied shyly, “Yes, there was. What is it, President Zhan?”
“I know you’re working hard on your own, and your mortgage hasn’t been paid off yet, so the pressure is immense. You’ve been performing well at work recently, so I’ll give you a car.”
“Ah?”
“Within 500,000 yuan. Go pick one with your girlfriend today, my treat. The one that’s being replaced, send it to Ge Rui Electrical for Jiang Nanfang to use.”
“This…”
“What? You think it’s too little? You don’t want it?”
The boss was offering a car worth 500,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his annual salary. He could buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. How could Azhong not want it?
He quickly thanked his boss and then called his girlfriend.
Hearing that she could buy a new car today, his girlfriend happily drove her modified used Beetle to get it washed, then went with Azhong to the Ge Rui Electrical company building.
President Zhan’s efficiency was indeed remarkable.
The car arrived in just about an hour?
Vice President Gao notified Jiang Nanfang to come down and collect the car.
Parked on the open space in front of the company was a small, cute, all-pink Volkswagen Beetle, a classic model.
It was clearly a car for a girl.
The car door was adorned with white Hello Kitty stickers, a little yellow duck ornament was placed on the rearview mirror, and the most eye-catching were the headlights.
The two headlights resembled two big, bulging eyes, rimmed with long, curled black eyelashes.
At first glance, it was a product of an overflowing girlish heart, a large, walking, kitschy toy.
Zhan Beijue wouldn’t be so perverted as to send her such a thing to drive, would he?
