177: Chapter 177: Old Pervert, I’ve Been Recording 177: Chapter 177: Old Pervert, I’ve Been Recording Lv Zhengliang was infuriated by Lan Kexin’s statement, glaring fiercely at her as he mocked, “Haha, I’ve seen plenty of women like you, pretending to be all pure and noble.
Do you think you’re something special just because you’re somewhat attractive?
Daring to offend me, I’ll make sure you can’t survive at Xu Corporation!”
Lan Kexin slightly furrowed her brows and responded righteously, “Mr.
Lv, please mind your behavior and speech.
The personnel arrangements in the company are naturally decided by the president after careful consideration.
Whether I do my job well or not,
isn’t something you can negate with just a few words.
I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave!”
After saying this, Lan Kexin walked away confidently, holding her folder, showing no regard for Lv Zhengliang’s feelings.
Since he didn’t care about saving face, she felt there was no need to offer him any either!
This was exactly what Lan Kexin was thinking.
Even if she wouldn’t receive a promotion, she would never agree to any of this lecherous old man’s terms.
That was her principle and her bottom line!
Ever since Lv Zhengliang had stepped down from the company’s management, he had been using his esteemed reputation and influence over the current administration to command respect from any Xu Corporation leader—
even Xu Ruolan had to respectfully call him Uncle Lv in his presence!
This Lan Kexin really doesn’t show any respect for me.
A trace of coldness flashed in Lv Zhengliang’s eyes as he strode forward and grabbed Lan Kexin’s wrist, saying coldly, “I’m giving you one last chance.
Tonight at Huimin Grand Hotel, meet me at the hotel entrance at eight o’clock.
If you show up, I’ll pretend I never heard what you just said, and I’ll ensure your path to promotion within Xu Corporation is smooth and successful!”
“If you refuse to come, then you know the consequences, hmph!”
Lv Zhengliang’s words were filled with threats.
Lan Kexin bit her lip, feeling somewhat scared.
After all, Lv Zhengliang was good friends with Xu Yuancheng, the father of the current president Xu Ruolan.
If he were to badmouth her to Xu Ruolan, her hard work over the past year could be in vain.
But accepting this old lecher’s inappropriate proposition was something Lan Kexin absolutely refused to allow.
Just as she was hesitating, unsure of what to do, a contemptuous laugh suddenly came from behind her.
“Oh, Mr.
Lv, are you hitting on a girl here?
Your method is quite unique—truly destroying my perceptions of how things should be!”
Ning Fan spoke slowly, his face carrying a teasing smile as he looked at Lv Zhengliang and Lan Kexin.
Upon seeing Ning Fan, Lv Zhengliang’s frown deepened, and he said displeased, “Who told you to meddle?
This has nothing to do with you, get lost immediately, or I won’t be polite!”
Ning Fan, observing Lv Zhengliang’s flustered demeanor, curled his lips into a cold smirk and said coldly, “What, am I interrupting your romantic plans?
I wonder what you were about to say to Miss Lan Kexin.
I’d like to hear it too; hopefully, it’s not inconvenient.”
Even though Lv Zhengliang was thick-skinned, he turned pale at this moment and pointed fiercely at Ning Fan, saying loudly, “What do you mean by that?
I was merely giving Lan Kexin a few pointers for the benefit of Xu Corporation’s growth.
What did you hear?
I warn you, just because the president supports you doesn’t mean I wouldn’t dare touch you!”
Lv Zhengliang knew well that even though Ning Fan didn’t hold a high position in Xu Corporation and rarely came to the office, his standing in Xu Ruolan’s eyes was clearly significant.
Ordinary employees might fear Ning Fan’s connections, but Lv Zhengliang wasn’t afraid.
He knew Xu Yuancheng very well, and with his long history at Xu Corporation,
even if he really clashed with Ning Fan, Ning Fan would be the one to suffer in the end!
“Haha, can I take it that Director Lv is threatening me?
It just so happens that I accidentally turned on the recording mode on my phone a moment ago, and I recorded some interesting sounds.
Since Director Lv is so righteous and confident,
then I shall play the recording and let everyone in the company hear how Director Lv instructs the staff to improve themselves.”
Lv Zhengliang was startled, looking at Ning Fan’s warm smiling face, uncertain whether he was being bluffed or if Ning Fan had actually recorded everything.
“I can’t take that risk…”
Lv Zhengliang clenched his teeth, gave Ning Fan a deep look, and said in a low voice, “You got lucky this time, hmph.”
After finishing his sentence, Lv Zhengliang left with long strides.
Lan Kexin looked at Ning Fan with some concern and whispered, “Ning Fan, thanks for your help, but Director Lv seems to have some opinions about you…”
“It’s okay, let that disrespectful old man rage if he wants to target his temper at someone, let it be me.”
Ning Fan said with nonchalance.
“That thing, did you really record it?
Was it such a coincidence?”
Lan Kexin asked, slightly puzzled.
Ning Fan waved his hand and laughed, “Record what?
I was just playing mind games.
That old man really has a guilty conscience, and it showed immediately!”
Under Lan Kexin’s profuse gratitude, Ning Fan was in high spirits and wandered around the company for the entire morning until it was nearly noon and time to leave work.
Suddenly, a man in a suit arrived at the security department.
Zhu Xuetao quickly found Ning Fan and reported, “Brother Ning, someone is looking for you!”
Ning Fan was somewhat surprised and followed Zhu Xuetao to the security room, where he met the man in the suit.
“Who are you?”
Ning Fan frowned slightly.
Although the suit-clad man sitting opposite him was well-dressed and smiling the whole time, Ning Fan felt a very unpleasant aura from him.
He couldn’t pinpoint where this feeling came from.
“Our boss wants to meet you, would Mr.
Ning kindly oblige?”
The man in the suit smiled mysteriously and gestured with his hand.
“Who is your boss?”
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Hehe, Mr.
Ning, you’ll know once you see him.
I’m merely following orders.”
The man in the suit chuckled, expressing his apology.
“Alright.
I’m not busy today anyway, so going with you is no harm.”
Ning Fan was naturally fearless.
After leaving Xu Corporation, Ning Fan got into the man’s car.
Soon, after a few lane changes, an hour later, the car stopped next to a seaside villa in Zhonghai City.
Under the scrutiny of the doorkeeper, Ning Fan walked boldly into the villa.
Just as he entered the villa, Huo Zhanyuan, who was bathing in the suddenly opening-up swimming pool, stood up, letting the stunning lady next to him dry his body.
“Hehe, so it’s you.
I was wondering why that man in the suit looked decent and spirited, yet gave off an aura I couldn’t stand.
Now that I see you, I understand why.”
Ning Fan said with implied meaning.
Huo Zhanyuan scoffed and said, “What do you mean by that?
If you think it’s difficult to interact with Huo Family, you might as well not interact!”
