The security guards of each company and unit are the gossip hubs of the entire company.
From the boss to every employee, anyone who passes under their watchful eyes every day is thoroughly understood over time.
Tang Nannan, with her sweet appearance and deliberate attempts to please, chatted with the uncle for less than five minutes before finding out the name of the electricity company's boss.
His name was Wang Rongfa.
Wang Rongfa?
Tang Nannan found the name somewhat familiar. After asking for details, she learned that he had previously worked at the Electric Power Bureau, then retired due to some incident and started this company himself.
It was the Wang Rongfa she knew.
She felt a surge of excitement but did not show it on her face.
Tang Nannan sighed, "It's good to be a boss. You can come to work whenever you want and leave whenever you want. Unlike us, who are tied down every day and have to deal with people's moods."
The uncle sighed, "Who says otherwise? The key is that we don't have the same resources. If we did, I'd be a boss too."
"Your company looks quite large. Is the electricity business profitable? What kind of car does your boss drive?"
"I don't know if it's profitable. But the boss drives a Land Rover, and his son drives a Bentley. Tell me, how can you compare people?"
The uncle continued to lament, "My son keeps pestering me to buy him a car. He looks at a Volkswagen Passat over and over again, and in the end, we still have to pay in installments. Comparing people makes you want to die!"
Tang Nannan agreed with him and then said some meaningless words. She pretended to receive a phone call and excused herself.
In the scorching hot parking lot, she began to look around the cars and soon spotted the eye-catching Land Rover among the rows of vehicles.
Drivers nowadays are quite considerate. Sometimes, due to parking inconvenience, they leave their phone numbers in a corner of the center console to avoid causing trouble for others.
The big boss certainly wouldn't leave his own number, but big bosses usually have drivers.
Tang Nannan actually found it. The driver had left his phone number in a corner.
She took a few deep breaths and, summoning her courage, dialed the number.
A rough male voice answered, "Hello."
Tang Nannan's sweet voice asked, "Is this Uncle Wang's house?"
"Who is this?"
"I'm looking for Uncle Wang Rongfa. My dad said they had plans today."
"Oh, then call him. Why did you call me?"
"I don't know. Our driver gave me the number. My dad had a last-minute issue and couldn't make it, so he asked me to inform you. Is Uncle Wang there?"
The driver, believing her, said, "Uncle Wang is busy. You can call him directly, or I can pass on the message later, okay?"
"It's impolite to pass on a message, so I'll call him myself. Who are you to him? Can you give me his number?"
Seeing that they seemed to know each other, the driver didn't think much of it and sent Wang boss's number.
Tang Nannan boldly dialed, and Wang Rongfa actually picked up.
"Who is it?"
"Uncle Wang, I'm Tang Nannan. Do you still remember me?"
Of course, he remembered.
Years ago, due to some trouble at his previous unit, he was implicated. It was only after asking Tang Nannan's father that he was able to establish his current company.
Tang's father was like a savior to Wang Rongfa.
Although he had fallen on hard times later, Wang Rongfa had always believed he was innocent and had intended to inquire about their family's situation afterward.
However, he was busy with work, and he heard snippets from others saying that their family had fallen into ruin and had moved out of their original house. Only then did he give up the idea.
He never expected that Old Tang's daughter would come looking for him.
When he visited their home back then, Tang Nannan was just a young girl in middle school. How could she remember him?
Wang Rongfa invited Tang Nannan to his office.
They reminisced, and both were filled with emotion.
Wang Rongfa asked Tang Nannan why she had found him today and if there was anything he could help with.
He was prepared for Tang Nannan to ask for a significant favor, but to his surprise, Tang Nannan shook her head.
"It's nothing major. It's just that one of my customers came to your company and said they wanted to discuss business. I saw him go in over an hour ago and there's been no movement, so I guessed he might be stuck at some point."
"As you know, it's always troublesome for a girl to drive a taxi. He helped me yesterday, and I wanted to return the favor if possible. Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Wang."
So, it was for this reason.
While Wang Rongfa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he also admired Tang Nannan.
The former eldest daughter of the prestigious Tang family, now reduced to driving a taxi, remained unpretentious.
It was indeed a testament to Old Tang's upbringing.
"Is that so? What's your friend's name? I'll have someone call him over now."
Tang Nannan said she didn't know, only that he was from Nancheng and was discussing the installation of new energy charging piles.
"Oh, I see. The head of the technical department, Mr. Li, is in charge of that. I'll call Mr. Li right away."
Tang Nannan sat opposite him, listening as he finished the call. She then stood up to bid farewell to Wang Rongfa.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Wang. Knowing you're busy with work, I won't bother you any longer."
Tang Nannan was beautiful, had a good personality, and possessed an inherent unpretentious demeanor.
Wang Rongfa, who had been troubled by the matter of choosing a daughter-in-law recently, couldn't help but be moved when he saw her stand up and bow, her posture so outstanding.
"Nannan, don't rush off. We haven't seen each other in a long time. Let's chat a bit more."
"Sit down, I'll have someone make you some tea."
"Will this be too much of a bother?"
Wang Ronghua said with a loving expression, "How could it be? Is talking between us a bother? Nannan, how old are you this year?"
Tang Nannan sat down and looked at him with a proper posture, "Twenty-four."
"What did you study in college?"
"My family had an accident before I graduated from college, and I didn't study a major that was easy to find a job in. I studied directing at the Drama Academy."
"Oh. I remember you had good grades when you were studying. Why did you choose such a major?"
"Perhaps it was out of willfulness, not being grounded in reality. My parents spoiled me too."
Wang Ronghua did not look down on her.
"You have a strong learning ability. Although the major you studied in college is not easy to find a job in, I believe that when a real job is presented to you, you will be able to pick it up quickly."
"Thank you for your encouragement, Uncle Wang. When I have the opportunity to find a good job in the future, I will definitely work hard."
Wang Ronghua nodded, "Just as you said, it's not safe for a girl to drive a taxi. Have you considered changing careers?"
Tang Nannan truthfully replied that she was considering it.
"What are you planning to do?"
"The only skill I can showcase is playing the piano, so I plan to become a piano teacher."
"Will you work at a training institution?"
"Yes."
Wang Ronghua chuckled, "How about this, Nannan? If you don't mind, come to my company."
"The technical department is short of an assistant engineer. I remember when you were studying, you could write code yourself. This job would be a piece of cake for you. I'll find someone to mentor you."
