Chapter 473: Chapter 468 Your Whole Family are Gossips (Five Updates)

”President, this is the highest daily sales figure for this month, please take a look.”

At 8:10 PM, Nangong Bing was still struggling in the office, tiredly reviewing and calculating the increased profit tax and income-expenditure ratio of the company in recent months.

”Oh, ok, just leave it here,” Nangong Bing said with a slight smile, squinting her eyes.

At this time, Zhang Xixi was still accompanying the top businesswoman of Zhonghai City, working overtime to calculate the company’s accounts.

Meanwhile, all the other veteran employees and senior board members had left the company.

In the huge office building, only the lights in the president’s office remained brightly lit.

”Xixi, why has the expenditure for the past half-month fluctuated so much?” Looking at the financial spending records on the Apple computer, Nangong Bing’s beautiful willow brows slightly furrowed.

”Recently, Minister Sun from the trade department requested an expenditure application, so the company has been mobilizing a large amount of money for Minister Sun in the past month,” Zhang Xixi honestly answered.

”Oh? You approved her expenditure?” Nangong Bing’s cold brows raised slightly.

”Not yet, just preparing to mobilize the funds.”

”Don’t bother with her for now, the company is currently facing some difficulty in funds circulation, absolutely do not move this batch of money. If she asks for expenditure again, you can tell her to come to me anytime.”

”Oh, ok,” Zhang Xixi nodded.

How could Nangong Bing know about all the bitterness Xixi had inside.

Sun Xiaonao herself was involved with some people on the board of directors and had climbed to her current position through connections.

Not only does she hold a high position with significant power, but she also has strong backers. Who would dare to offend her?

”Xixi, it’s already very late, you should head back first,”

Seeing Zhang Xixi with her head down, busily moving around in the office, Nangong Bing said with concern.

”It’s ok, President, let me stay with you a bit longer.” Zhang Xixi was all too good, albeit too meek.

And lacking confidence.

No matter what, even if she was wronged, she would just smile, bury her head in her work, and never complain.

This made Nangong Bing very attentive toward her and also glad that she had chosen her to manage the finance department when she first came to the company. After all, the finance of a company is like a major artery of a big company. Just a tiny problem with this main vein could potentially endanger the company greatly.

”No need, I’ll have someone picking me up in a while; you go ahead. It’s already 8:20 PM. If you don’t go back soon, won’t your boyfriend worry?”

”Sorry, President, I don’t have a boyfriend,” Zhang Xixi stretched her neck and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

”Oh, no worries, fate cannot be forced. You’ll meet someone you like eventually. Maybe your other half’s happiness is nearby, and maybe you just haven’t realized it. Pay more attention to the people around you, I believe you will definitely find someone.”

Nangong Bing poured her a cup of coffee herself.

The two of them talked like friends. Usually, Nangong Bing would take the initiative to chat with Zhang Xixi about everyday life matters, for aside from their roles as boss and subordinate, there was a hint of personal affection between them.

”President, don’t make fun of me. With the way I am, which guy would fancy me?” A blush slowly crept across Zhang Xixi’s shy face.

She remembered last time how Minister Wu had coerced her using her father’s issue, which Lin Zifeng had casually resolved, leading to Wu, feeling shamefaced, considering he could no longer stay at the company and nearly divorcing his wife. These days, it seemed Wu had taken quite a long annual leave. Probably he wouldn’t return.

Every time she thought of Lin Zifeng, Zhang Xixi felt her heart pound unwittingly. She didn’t know whether Lin Zifeng had a girlfriend or not, nor did she dare to express romantic sentiments to him. She wasn’t sure if it was love, but she especially enjoyed his company and the sense of security he offered.

”Hehe, you can never be sure, you are so pretty and kind, and both your appearance and figure are so attractive. If those guys can’t see your value, they really must have a problem with their eyes,” Nangong Bing leaned on the desk, sipped her coffee lightly, and her starry eyes flickered with a few flashes of reluctance and doubts whenever she thought about her future.

”President, please don’t say that; I’m getting embarrassed,” Zhang Xixi lowered her head, recalling his carefree sunny smile, which always made her feel especially warm.

But Zhang Xixi just didn’t know if he had a girlfriend or anything similar.

Maybe hers was just a one-sided love, and he didn’t have any feelings for her at all.

”Alright, alright, I’ll stop talking, look how red your face is, you should leave work early, I’ll be off soon too.”

”Okay, then I’ll go ahead, President.”

”Go on, head home early and rest.” Nangong Bing said with a smile, her inherent demeanor making even Zhang Xixi feel inferior.

After finishing this cup of coffee, she was mostly done with her work.

Looking at the time displayed on her watch, Nangong Bing’s face turned slightly angry.

”That jerk.” He had promised that if Nangong Bing wasn’t home by eight o’clock tonight, he would come looking for her.

But now it was almost nine, and there wasn’t even a sign of him, which made Nangong Bing somewhat disappointed.

It looked like this guy wasn’t really reliable.

After tidying up briefly, Nangong Bing slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out of the office in her high heels.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng was also sitting in a taxi, anxiously wiping off sweat.

He had told the boss this morning that if he hadn’t called by eight o’clock in the evening, he should go look for her, and now it was almost nine, he didn’t know if the boss had left yet.

”Um, Mr. Driver, could you drive a bit faster? I’m in a hurry.”

He was very aware of Nangong Bing’s temper; if the two didn’t bump into each other today, tomorrow might just end up dragging Lin Zifeng through the mud.

”What’s the rush? Can’t you see it’s difficult to drive at night? You’re in a hurry, I’m even more so.”

The driver was a chubby man with a fat face, smoking a cigarette at an angle, and the stench on him was almost too much for Lin Zifeng to bear.

Had he not just hurried out of Mu Yang’s place and found it impossible to hail a taxi at the moment, he wouldn’t have taken this guy’s car.

”Here, this should be enough.” Lin Zifeng pulled out a hundred yuan and tossed it in front of the driver.

”Enough, enough, enough!” the driver’s eyes lit up.

”Then please go faster.”

”OK!”

Only when the taxi approached the Tianyu Group’s south gate did the driver finally stop.

”Driver, how much is it?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”Sixty-two yuan!” The driver’s eyes momentarily showed a greedy look.

”Oh, then no need for change, just keep the thirty-eight,” Lin Zifeng said as he opened the car door.

”Wait, wasn’t the hundred yuan just a tip?” the driver quickly asked.

”Sorry, that was just a prepayment for the fare, I never said it was a tip. The thirty-eight is yours,” Lin Zifeng said, then turned and walked towards the Tianyu Group building.

Leaving the driver, with a cigarette in his mouth, it took him a long while to react: ”Thirty-eight? Hey, you’re a thirty-eight! Your whole family is...”

...

Since Lin Zifeng hadn’t shown up, Nangong Bing had already headed to the parking garage.

But just as Nangong Bing came out of the elevator in the parking garage, a pair of gloomy eyes in the shadows fixed tightly on her.

Looking at the dimly lit, vast and empty underground parking garage.

Nangong Bing felt something was off.

”Why is it so quiet today?” Nangong Bing wondered.
