"Naturally, I'll walk in boldly," Lu Fan said with a smile. "I'm off work now, and you should be too!"
"I'm not off work yet!" Lin Ke said nervously. "Brother Lu Fan, please wait for me outside. If the team leader sees you, I'll be in trouble."
"It's alright, I'm not disturbing anyone else. Your team leader shouldn't be so unreasonable," Lu Fan said with a smile.
Just as Lin Ke was about to say something, he saw Team Leader Zhou approaching, and his expression instantly turned flustered.
"It's over, it's over! Here comes that old hag," Xiao Qi quickly said. "Lin Ke, you're in trouble. Your boyfriend is here before you're even off work. This is a major taboo in the company."
"Team Leader Zhou, it was my oversight. I'll have him leave immediately," Lin Ke said, bowing and scraping. This was his first job, and he didn't want to lose it like this.
"It's alright, it's almost time to get off work. I'm here to tell you that you can leave half an hour early," Team Leader Zhou said with a smile. "After all, your sales performance is outstanding, and this is your reward."
"Leave half an hour early?" Lin Ke looked incredulous, glancing at Lu Fan at the same time.
Many people in the sales team cast envious glances, and some were surprised. This had never happened before in the entire sales department.
After speaking, Team Leader Zhou turned and left, breaking out in a cold sweat. He had climbed his way up to management and didn't want to end up like Yang Lei, losing his job outright.
"Wow, Lin Ke, you're too lucky," Xiao Qi exclaimed with a laugh. "This is unprecedented treatment."
"I..." Lin Ke looked embarrassed. "I don't know what's going on either."
"Let's go, you can leave early now," Lu Fan smiled.
"Leaving early is a reward from the company, but I can't accept it, otherwise, wouldn't that disrupt the company's rules and regulations?" Lin Ke said seriously. "Brother Lu Fan, please wait for me outside!"
"No problem!" Lu Fan nodded. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so serious.
Meanwhile, at a golf course somewhere in Qingzhou, an elderly man with white hair held a golf club and swung it with powerful force.
"Uncle Fu, it's been investigated. He's just a minor character," said a man wearing sunglasses, exuding a deadly aura. He was Ah Hai, Uncle Fu's personal bodyguard.
"No matter who it is, no one can harm the young master," Uncle Fu said with a grim expression. "You understand what I mean, don't you?"
"Ah Hai understands, of course!" Ah Hai nodded and smiled. "I will personally deliver that person to the young master for him to decide."
"Mm!" Uncle Fu nodded slightly. "After so many years, the young master has suffered a lot. Nothing must happen to him. From now on, the young master's safety will be your responsibility."
"This..." Ah Hai showed a wry smile. "Uncle Fu underestimates the young master. In the past few days, I've had a faint feeling that the young master seems to have noticed me."
"How is that possible!" Uncle Fu frowned. "Your skills are so exceptional, how could the young master possibly notice you?"
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it!" Ah Hai said with a wry smile.
Not long after, at a club, Shen Wei was singing, accompanied by several women, looking quite dashing.
But at that moment, several men burst in, wearing sunglasses and exuding a formidable presence.
"Who are you people?" Shen Wei frowned. "You barge in without even a greeting. Do you not take me seriously?"
"Take him away directly!" said the leading man coldly.
Shen Wei tried to resist, but it was impossible.
They arrived at a wasteland, where Shen Wei was kicked out. In the wasteland, Ah Hai, wearing sunglasses, said playfully, "You've got guts, kid. Acting out in the open, you haven't disappointed me."
"Who exactly are you people!" Shen Wei's face was ashen. "I have no enmity with you, why are you targeting me?"
"The car accident on the bridge, you were the mastermind behind it," Ah Hai said with a smile. "If you want to target my young master, there's only one word for you!"
"Young master!" Shen Wei was bewildered. "That kid is just a nouveau riche, when did he become your young master!"
"You picked the wrong person to offend, kid. You dared to offend the young master, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth," Ah Hai said, swinging a club. "Even the entire Jiangnan region belongs to the young master. How can you possibly be his enemy?"
"Who exactly is he!" Shen Wei's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"The young master of Tianquan Villa!" Ah Hai sneered. "The future chairman of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Hai swung his club again.
Shen Wei was terrified, losing several teeth. The words just spoken filled him with dread. Tianquan Villa had no reputation in Qingzhou, but through special channels, he had learned long ago that Tianquan Villa had mysterious powerful figures behind it, capable of controlling the entire Jiangnan region.
He never expected Lu Fan to be the young master of Tianquan Villa. If that were true, what right did he have to compete with Lu Fan?
At the same time, in the sales department of Taikang Pharmaceutical, Lin Ke was organizing documents, his heart filled with joy. He was about to get off work, and Lu Fan was waiting for him, so he was naturally in a good mood.
"Lin Ke, your boyfriend is quite handsome!" Xiao Qi laughed. "He's really good to you."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's Brother Lu Fan, not my boyfriend," Lin Ke shook his head. "Even though we were both adopted, but..."
"Both adopted, childhood sweethearts, and grew up together, they're a match made in heaven!" Xiao Qi immediately laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Ke looked embarrassed, his face instantly blushing.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore!" Xiao Qi laughed. "But getting the contract tonight might be difficult. I'll accompany you."
"Isn't it just signing a contract?" Lin Ke asked in surprise.
"It is indeed signing a contract, but there will be a lot of drinking involved," Xiao Qi said seriously. "You might not be able to handle it alone. I'm quite capable in dealing with drinking sessions, and I can help you fend them off for a while."
"Then thank you, Sister Xiao Qi!" Lin Ke quickly nodded.
After he got off work, as soon as they left the company, they saw Lu Fan.
"I have a social engagement tonight, so I might not be able to go back with you," Lin Ke said helplessly. "Brother Lu Fan, you should go back first."
"I'll go with you," Lu Fan smiled. "After all, banquets can be quite dangerous."
"That might not be possible. You're not in the sales department, so you can't go to accompany drinking," Xiao Qi said seriously. "But don't worry, with me there, it should be fine."
"Alright!" Lu Fan nodded. "This is your job, and I shouldn't interfere!"
Lin Ke nodded and left with Xiao Qi.
Just then, Team Leader Zhou also came out of the office.
"Team Leader Zhou, where is the banquet for the client Lin Ke took on tonight?" Lu Fan inquired.
"It's at Tianyi Tower," Team Leader Zhou said quickly. "It wasn't me who sent him there, he insisted on going for experience. I couldn't do anything about it..."
