Chapter 1061: Chapter 1050: Collecting Debts
The next day, sunlight broke through the clouds and scattered across the earth.
In the general manager’s office at the Dragon City Branch Company, Ning Fan looked up, his eyes bloodshot.
He had stayed in the company’s office all night without going to the lounge to rest.
Although Xu Ruolan called several times urging him to leave, Ning Fan refused them all.
When Xu Ruolan asked why, Ning Fan’s response was silence, followed by hanging up the phone.
After several calls, Xu Ruolan was sensible enough not to call again, simply advising Ning Fan to rest well, not to work too late, and not to overexert himself.
But how could Ning Fan sleep?
In the name of Asura, decisive and uncompromising, he had never experienced anything like this.
Such guilt towards a person!
Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Qiu Xiuxiu’s desolate look when she left.
He dared not recall this expression, but when he closed his eyes, all he saw was this image.
As time ticked away, dawn broke swiftly.
The sound of Ouyang Feifei’s footsteps came from outside the door, lacking her usual sprightliness and energy, carrying instead a hint of suppression.
“Is it because of my bad mood that everything seems pessimistic?”
Ning Fan shook his head with a bitter smile, sat up straight, and rubbed his face.
He didn’t want Ouyang Feifei to see him like this.
The hardest thing to bear: a beauty’s kindness.
“Mr. Ning, there is trouble with the company!”
Ouyang Feifei entered with a worried look and spoke.
“You handle company matters yourself. I don’t want to discuss it right now.”
Ning Fan pressed his hand on the table, trying to make his expression look more natural, forcing a smile, and said, “After all, most of the time, the company is managed by you. You know what to do better than I do, so I won’t interfere.”
“But…”
Ouyang Feifei showed an embarrassed expression, lowered her head, and said softly, “I already knew about this yesterday and have tried many solutions, but the other party is very stubborn, and I couldn’t resolve it.”
After saying this, a blush appeared on Ouyang Feifei’s face.
With Ning Fan relying on her so heavily, she felt deeply sorry for not being able to manage the Dragon City Branch Company well.
“Stop joking. Is there really a problem you can’t solve?”
Ning Fan chuckled, crossing his legs, pretending to be relaxed, and teased, “Who in the company doesn’t know that our Sister Feifei is the most capable? Is there really a challenge that can stump you?”
“Mr. Ning, please don’t make fun of me.”
Ouyang Feifei pouted, somewhat helplessly, and said, “The head of the accounting team just gave me a final ultimatum. If this account can’t be transferred to the company by tomorrow, our company will face a potential financial rupture!”
Ouyang Feifei, worriedly, sat down on the chair in front of Ning Fan and said softly, “Since Vice President Ma sided with us, the company’s development has been smooth, expanding very quickly.”
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
Ning Fan was puzzled by Ouyang Feifei’s expression.
“From a previous perspective, it might have been a good thing, but now, perhaps not.”
Ouyang Feifei shook her head, showing an anxious expression, and explained, “The company’s rapid expansion is an opportunity that also carries significant risks. With Vice President Ma’s help, many companies in Dragon City have started collaborating with us.”
“However, at the same time, our company spent a lot of cash flow to expand our commercial footprint. The projects we invested in have vast prospects but the funding recuperation is not fast, being quality projects.”
“Previously, I was happy about this because it meant our company was on the right track, but looking at it now, I was too optimistic back then!”
Ouyang Feifei spoke in a low voice, “Hongtu Construction Company owes us fifty million. This money had already been pre-invested in various fields, just waiting for the funds to arrive, but now this money hasn’t come.”
“Meaning, if we can’t get this money by tomorrow, the company will face a risk of default and possibly face substantial breach of contract penalties. I’ve already contacted Vice President Ma, and he said he can’t help with this issue, leaving it to us.”
“Is the situation that severe?”
Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit dizzy but still not wanting to move, somewhat impatiently waved his hand and said, “Since it’s our money, let’s get it back.”
“But…”
At this point, a shameful expression appeared on Ouyang Feifei’s face as she said in a low voice, “Yesterday, we already sent security and commercial department people to collect the debt, but they didn’t get the money and were beaten by the other party.”
“Now the whole company is in a frenzy, with every department asking for money, but no one dares to go to Hongtu Construction Company to collect the debt.”
“What is going on!”
Ning Fan couldn’t hold it in anymore upon hearing this, slammed the table, stood up angrily, and said, “They owe us money and beat our company’s people, why wasn’t this reported to me earlier!”
“I…”
Ouyang Feifei hesitated.
“Alright, stop talking. It’s just collecting a debt, I’ll go myself. I want to see what kind of trash company dares to act against me!”
A flash of ferocity passed through Ning Fan’s eyes.
Already feeling depressed, hearing this situation fueled his anger to its peak.
“Mr. Ning wants to go personally? I’ll contact the security department to send some skilled security guards along.”
Ouyang Feifei’s eyes flashed with joy and she said quickly.
She harbors a deep-seated blind admiration for Ning Fan and believes whatever Ning Fan sets out to do is bound for success.
“No need for the security guards; since the company urgently needs money, let’s resolve it quickly, heading out now.”
Ning Fan snorted coldly, dismissively saying, “The useless security in the company, I’ve long intended to replace them. After this matter is over, the Shadow Team will split personnel to join the security department.”
“Are you going now? Just the two of us?”
Ouyang Feifei widened her eyes.
“Is there a problem?”
“No… no problem.”
The final response barely audible.
For some reason, Ouyang Feifei’s heart suddenly raced, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she instinctively pursed her lips, a trace of coquettish smile flashing in her eyes.
Although the purpose of this trip is debt collection, with just Mr. Ning and herself, it felt more like a unique date!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Feifei’s expression grew even sweeter, even when organizing Hongtu Construction Company’s documents and contracts, there was a touch of playfulness.
