"Don"t let him run away. He"s at the stairway entrance."
From upstairs came the shout of the gunman. Ding Ning covered the wound on his shoulder, looking coldly at a bald man standing beside the window on the third floor. He stretched out his hand to make a provocative gesture of cutting his throat, and disappeared like lightning.
The bald man, with indifferent eyes, turned around to stare at Yun Sihai coldly, "What happened? Why did you provoke black masked man? Haven"t I told you that you can not sell goods recently and should not make trouble?"
Yun Sihai who used to be overwhelmingly arrogant was so scared before the bald man that he was like a mouse shivering in front of a cat, dropping its head and whispering, "I... I just want to play a girl, but I didn"t expect that black masked man would suddenly show up.
Slapping Yun Sihai in his face, the bald man said angrily,
"At this time, General Chacai"s cronies came to Ninghai to talk with us about this business in person. As long as we can make the deal, the whole drug market in Ninghai will be ours. You are such a fool. You were playing a girl at the wrong timing, which caused trouble to me. If you can"t control your lower body, you can go to die."
"Plop!" Yun Sihai knelt down, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "Brother dragon, I was wrong, and I dare not do it again. Please give me another chance."
"Get out!"
The bald man was still angry. He kicked Yun Sihai fiercely and scolded indignantly, "If you had not saved my life, I would have killed you now. Take two million yuan from the financial department. I will arrange someone to send you to Myan to avoid the trouble."
"Thank you Brother dragon! Thank you, Brother dragon!"
Yun Sihai, like getting an amnesty, gloomily dragged his injured leg, limping away.
"Brother dragon, what should we do now since we have made a lot of noise?"
A thin and black man with a ponytail asked anxiously.
"Well, this man always can"t do anything right. Since the police are coming, we should evacuate first. The profit of the Stone-gambling House is not low, so boss will never give it up. He will find a puppet to buy Fantastic Stones Shop to replace Yun Sihai and continue to operate. Anyway, Yun Sihai is not registered to be in charge of Fantastic Stones Shop. Destroy all the monitoring record without any evidence."
The bald man waved his hand impatiently. After cleaning up the scene, he left from the underground pa.s.sage of the office building followed by more than a dozen gunmen. Unexpectedly, all of this was seen by Xiaojin who followed them secretly.
"You... Are you okay?"
In the Audi Q7, Mu Yanran was driving. She turned her head to look at Ding Ning"s b.l.o.o.d.y shoulder, and asked anxiously.
"Nothing, they are just bruises."
Ding Ning secretly felt lucky because although the defensive power of biomimetic skin was not strong enough to completely block bullets, it also counteracted most of the impact force of bullets. The bullets were semi-penetrating mosaic on the biological skin, which only caused slight skin breakage and bleeding, and did not cause serious injury.
"It"s all right. Thank you. If it weren"t for you today, I would..."
Mu Yanran"s face became less cold, and she was sincerely grateful.
"It is my pleasure to help you. But what"s going on? That guy is the boss of Fantastic Stones Shop. Why is he so bold?"
Ding Ning carelessly waved his hand and mobilized True Qi to heal his wounds. He was very curious that Qi Sihai would dare to a.s.sault Mu Yanran. After all, Xiaojin did not dare to get too close before, so he was not very clear about the process of the incident.
"I spent 300 million yuan in buying raw stone from Fantastic Stones Shop the other day..."
Mu Yanran told the whole story angrily. Ding Ning showed a thoughtful look, and suddenly asked, "Will it be planned secretly by your company"s compet.i.tors?"
"Oh, no... It is impossible."
w.a.n.g Juan"s figure suddenly appeared in Mu Yanran"s mind, but then she shook her head, "It is impossible. My compet.i.tor is another vice president of our company, named w.a.n.g Juan. She... shouldn"t have that much power."
Ding Ning shook his head. "With all due respect, may I ask how old w.a.n.g Juan is? How does she look? Is she married? Is there any affair between her and your company"s boss?
"She is beautiful, aged 31 years old this year. She is still single, and her relationship with General Manager Sun is very normal. There should be no affair between them."
After thinking for a while, Mu Yanran answered certainly.
"Does she get married? Does she have a boyfriend?"
Ding Ning kept asking.
"She has no history of marriage, and I didn"t hear that she has a boyfriend. Many men who were not bad have chased her in the past, but they have been rejected by her. She has an annoying brother who always makes trouble all day."
Mu Yanran did not know why Ding Ning asked that, but she answered patiently.
"Do you think it"s normal for a beautiful 31-year-old woman to be unmarried, even without a boyfriend?"
Ding Ning said thoughtfully.
"Well... It"s a little abnormal, but that doesn"t mean anything, does it?"
Mu Yanran thought about it. She didn"t care about it before. Now, since black masked man mentioned it, it seemed that there was something abnormal.
w.a.n.g Juan was not ugly. It was okay not to get married for the sake of career. But it"s not normal that she even didn"t have a boyfriend.
"These things can explain the problem. If your compet.i.tor didn"t suffer any illness, she"s kept by somenone, which is secretive and unknown to everyone."
Ding Ning boldly speculated.
"This... this is impossible. Although w.a.n.g Juan"s personality is not so attractive, she always preserves her moral integrity, and I have never heard that she is too closed with a man. Besides her brother, she has no male friends. As for the possibility of health problems, the company"s annual physical examination shows that she has always been very healthy."
Mu Yanran was shocked by his bold speculation and shook her head in denial. She thought that it was absolutely impossible.
Ding Ning sighed, "Don"t imagine all the people in the world are kind. You see, What does it mean that since she is healthy and has good conditions for men to chase her, all of them are rejected by her? Either she has a lover or she is kept by a powerful man, who has a strong possessive desire. Although he can"t marry her, he doesn"t allow any other men around her."
"What you said is reasonable, but it"s just speculation. Maybe she"s been hurt before and doesn"t want to fall in love? Now there are many celibatarians."
Mu Yanran thought it over carefully and admitted that Ding Ning"s statement was reasonable, but she still put forward different views.
Ding Ning didn"t think so. The last time he saw w.a.n.g Juan, he could see from her performance that she was not a person who would devote her heart to work for the sake of sentiment.
"What you said is not impossible, but the att.i.tude of people who have been injured will never be like this. She, aged 31, has become the deputy general manager. Do you think it is possible?"
"Why is it impossible? I"m twenty-five years old and I don"t depend on anybody. Didn"t I also become the deputy general manager?" Mu Yanran disagreed.
"Although I haven"t seen your compet.i.tor, I think her ability is certainly not as good as yours, so I won"t be surprised that you can be deputy general manager at the age of 20, but I think it"s very strange that she can do it."
Ding Ning could not justify herself. He could not say that he had seen w.a.n.g Juan and could tell that she was not the kind of person who would work hard for the sake of sentiment. He could only laugh a little complimentarily and joked that a person with queen style might not lack the ability to work.
Mu Yanran"s heart trembled, and a red blush suddenly rose on her beautiful face. Somehow, other men"s compliments to her would be very hypocritical and even disgusting, but the affirmation of the black masked man made her feel sweet like drinking honey. She said with a slightly embarra.s.sed look, "Thank you for your compliment, but I am not as good as you said."
"What I"ve said is not to compliment you, or to give you a good impression, but to find out the real culprit behind the scenes for you. It is not the first time that Yun Sihai and your company have cooperated with each other. Previous cooperation has gone smoothly. Why did they frame you this time? They definitely framed you on purpose, although I have no evidence. However, my intuition tells me that this is the man who keeps w.a.n.g Juan did it. If I am not mistaken, your company will probably have a major adjustment in the near future. There will certainly be a change in the position of General Manager Sun, so the position of the boss will be vacant, and you are the most hopeful person to sit in that position. Therefore, the man behind w.a.n.g Juan is trying to help her get the position of general manager. At this critical moment, as long as you make any mistakes, you will miss the position of general manager."
Ding Ning calmly a.n.a.lyzed.
"Ah, if you didn"t mention it, I really didn"t think that recently, the head office will dispatch a deputy general manager to a.s.sess the work of Ninghai Filiale, so will it be aimed at General Manager Sun"s transfer?"
Mu Yanran covered her small mouth in surprise, and then said in hindsight.
"You, well, I think that with your ability, you are suitable to be a well-spoken boss, but not to be a deputy. You lack too much sensitivity in the workplace. You are not at all suited to the collusion in the workplace. You are too naive, to be honest."
Ding Ning said regretfully. In fact, from the last time he heard that Tianfu Company was going to dispatch a deputy general manager for inspection, he realized that the position of General Manager Sun might not be guaranteed.
General Manager Sun failed in the compet.i.tion and was a.s.signed to Ninghai to open up the market. He, like a child raised by a stepmother, didn"t have any money or talent. It was abnormal for the head office to ignore Ninghai which had such a huge potential market.
What did it mean that the deputy general manager who came up later suddenly came to Ninghai Filiale for examination? It meant that he has established a firm foothold in the head office and started to find fault of General Manager Sun.
However, General Manager Sun naively wanted to return to the head office with his excellent performance, but he just fell into their trap. After his diligent effort to explore Ninghai market, they directly and simply picked the fruit.
Was it fair? It was very unfair. What could General Manager Sun do with his ability? They had power, so they could play some tricks to get him out.
Why didn"t the deputy general manager come earlier or later? But he came when the performance of Ninghai Filiale declined. It was clear that he came to find fault to take over General Manager Sun.
Ding Ning"s second thought incurred a profound fear of the relationship between w.a.n.g Juan and the deputy general manager. Maybe the man who kept w.a.n.g Juan was the deputy general manager.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it is. To confirm his speculation, Ding Ning asked, "What"s the deputy general manager"s name? Where is he from?"
"I don"t know if you asked me this question two days ago. General manager Sun and the deputy general manager are not in harmony so that he didn"t want to see him and I could take charge of the reception. In these two days, I had consulted his information. His name is w.a.n.g Xianghua. He came from a remote mountain village called w.a.n.gjiacun village in Xiangnan Province. His family was very poor. He stayed in Ninghai to work after he went to university tightening his belt. Later, it seemed that he got the appreciation of a big shot and then went to Yuezhou. From then on, he started from the bottom. In just a few years, he has become the deputy general manager of the head office. He is a representative inspirational person."
Speaking of w.a.n.g Xianghua"s resume, Mu Yanran was full of excitement and seemed to appreciate w.a.n.g Xianghua very much, which made Ding Ning feel very uncomfortable. He sneered and said, "Is it really inspiring? I don"t think so. Let me ask you, where is w.a.n.g Juan from?"
"w.a.n.g Juan... Where is she from?"
Mu Yanran frowned with beautiful eyebrows and carefully recalled. Suddenly, she brightened up, "Oh, by the way, she should be from Xiangnan. I remember that in a company dinner, she said that she missed the bacon and hot spices in her hometown..."
