Chapter 1258: Chapter 1247: Ning Fan Returns!
“What the heck?”
Zhou Wei rubbed his ears in disbelief, his eyes wide like bells, staring blankly at Zhou Qiang.
He never imagined that his second uncle, nearing 50, still had the energy for such romantic escapades; truly admirable.
But then, he shook his head like a rattle drum and politely refused, “Second Uncle, I can agree to other things, but not this one. Xu Xiaoqing isn’t just another pretty face; she’s a treasure, perfect in every way.
Once I win her over, I’ll make sure she sees my good side, and I’ll cherish her for a lifetime. If you want to desecrate that, I’ll turn against you immediately.”
Smack!
Zhou Qiang slapped him, his face dark with anger, “You greedy little thing, aren’t you afraid of heavenly retribution?”
Seeing Zhou Wei’s determined eyes, leaving no room for negotiation, Zhou Qiang had to relent and said, “Fine, I won’t compete with you. Tell me, is there any event at your school where Xu Xiaoqing might be alone? Only then can I help you make a move.”
“Well…” Zhou Wei pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he said loudly, “Next week, our school has a fall outing. First, we’ll relax in the wild, and then visit the amusement park in Zhonghai. Do you think it’s better to act in the wild or at the amusement park?”
“The wild works, but at the amusement park, only in the Ghost Domain, which is the haunted house. Zhonghai’s amusement park is huge, especially the haunted house; it’s the largest Ghost Domain in Huaxia.
Young thrill-seekers often venture there, but few make it through, often giving up halfway. Acting there is undoubtedly the best place,” Zhou Qiang analyzed cautiously.
Zhou Wei thought about it and nodded, “In the wild, there are too many people, and it’s easy to be discovered. The haunted house’s pitch blackness makes it the perfect place for action. Let’s do it there.”
“Alright, it’s settled between us uncles and nephews. Give me a call then, and I’ll arrange for people to prepare in advance,” Zhou Qiang nodded, looking unwilling.
He then turned and headed for the door, his voice trailing off behind him.
“You greedy little thing, you’ve disappointed me. Next time you want me to do something for you, there’s no chance.”
“Hehe…”
But Zhou Wei just chuckled foolishly, then his eyes turned cold with a sinister smile, “Hehe, Ning Fan, you can’t have everything. Since you have the elder sister, I’ll take the younger sister. If the plan succeeds, I’ll naturally get close to Xu Ruolan too, and perhaps even taste the sweetness, having both sisters.”
He laughed proudly, as if the plan had already succeeded.
However, Ning Fan remained unaware of all this.
He was in the security office, throwing a fit, “You guys have some nerve! Ever since I left, I heard you’ve all been incompetent, right?”
“No way, we’re all very capable; it’s just a matter of who commands us.”
All the security guards shouted loudly, sounding quite aggrieved.
Ning Fan said, annoyed, “You guys, I know your tricks! Don’t pretend in front of me. To maintain the image of our security department, starting today, we’re having a full-scale assessment. Anyone who can’t do 100 push-ups will have their performance bonus deducted. Do you have any objections?”
“We… have no objections!”
The group of guards reluctantly said what they didn’t mean.
After all, Ning Fan was the king of the security department, and anyone who challenged him got what they deserved.
This had been proven countless times, even Zhu Xuetao, who was once untouchable, didn’t dare to boast in front of Ning Fan.
Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction, “Good, let’s begin the drills now. Run 20 laps around Xu Corporation, or have your monthly bonuses deducted.”
“Sigh.”
The guards sighed but had no choice but to join the running.
Soon, the whole dorm building was in chaos.
Under Ning Fan’s leadership, the entire security department ran laps outside.
Seeing them all sweating profusely, the employees found it rather amusing.
The female employees in the company watched the sweating security guards and gossiped.
“See that? These guards usually do nothing, but now they’re doing drills.”
“Of course, if the security system isn’t strong, who’ll protect us beauties?”
“Not really, look at those guards, aside from Ning Fan and Zhu Xuetao, everyone else is sweating bullets.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Those two are the leaders of the security department. When Ning Fan’s not here, Zhu Xuetao’s in charge, but when Ning Fan is here, he makes sure those guards don’t have it easy.”
“What kind of person is Ning Fan anyway, to have such stamina? Imagine him in bed…”
“Girl, that’s a bit too blatant. If our manager hears that, you’ll definitely get scolded.”
“Tsk, that old witch, I’m not afraid of her.”
Meanwhile, in the top-floor CEO office, Xu Ruolan finished her paperwork and stood at the window with her tea.
Seeing the scene, she almost spat out her tea, laughing in exasperation, “What’s Ning Fan up to now? When he’s not around, the guards are lazy. When he is, it’s chaos everywhere.”
She then told her assistant, “Go down immediately and ask them to keep it down. They’re disturbing the office atmosphere of the corporation.”
“Yes, President Xu.”
The assistant quickly left and went downstairs to instruct Ning Fan.
Ning Fan, knowing the commotion would definitely impact the employees in Xu Corporation Tower, waved his hand, “Alright, stop running. Head to the gym, do push-ups and sit-ups, and use the equipment for practice.”
The guards breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the suffering was over.
But then, Ning Fan’s next words threw them back into the depths of misery, making them look crestfallen.
“Except for eating and bathroom breaks, spend all work hours in the gym for a week of intensive training. Anyone slacking off, I’ll kick their ass.”
“Hiss…”
Everyone felt a chill down below, their faces pale, as they filed into the gym.
Due to the long period without training, the security guards had accumulated quite a bit of fat and energy, making them unexpectedly vigorous when they started practicing.
Ning Fan, meanwhile, headed to the barbell area and said to Zhu Xuetao, “Old Zhu, how about a little competition?”
“I’m no match for you!”
Zhu Xuetao surrendered automatically.
Nevertheless, Ning Fan pulled him in to train together, “Come on, give it a try. People always improve. I’ve slacked off lately; maybe I’ve regressed. Why don’t you try and see how much you can bench?”
