Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Forever Eliminate Future Troubles

He Li returned to her desk and received a message from Gao Yuan, asking her to meet him at the café downstairs.

He Li: ??

He Li: "Manager Gao, can’t we just talk here? There’s no need to go to the café."

"I need to talk to you, if you don’t come down, then I’ll go to your office."

He Li: "!!"

He Li’s eyes twinkled as she picked up her phone and headed out.

It was lunchtime, so a quick outing wouldn’t disrupt her work.

He Li arrived at the café where Gao Yuan was sipping coffee and occasionally looking around.

Seeing He Li walk in, Gao Yuan put down his coffee cup and smiled broadly at her.

"Manager Gao, what did you need to see me for?" He Li placed her phone on the table, covering it.

Gao Yuan said cheerfully, "He Li, I’ve only been at the company for four days, but I’ve noticed you’re very talented."

"Manager Gao, I don’t even have my own designs; none of the ones I’ve drawn have been accepted. And you tell me I’m talented?" He Li looked at him in surprise.

Gao Yuan: "..."

Why isn’t He Li responsive at all?

Gao Yuan continued, "What I mean is, I can help you take your career to the next level."

"Oh."

"He Li, what do you think?"

He Li lifted her head, staring at him unwaveringly, "Manager Gao, how exactly can you help me?"

Before Gao Yuan could respond with big promises, He Li already interrogated, "What? Are you some famous designer? Are you more capable than Mr. Qiao? Can you guide my designs?"

Gao Yuan: "..."

Was He Li deliberately making it difficult for him?

He Li continued, "Manager Gao, there’s no need to try winning me over. I definitely won’t side with you. Even if I had to choose sides, I wouldn’t foolishly support someone less competent than Mr. Qiao. I’d advise you to just go back to where you came from, otherwise, be careful not to lose your position."

Gao Yuan was furious; He Li was unyielding!

He Li added, "Manager Gao, I’d advise you to switch sides and follow Mr. Qiao; working under him would be your good fortune."

Gao Yuan sullenly said, "You can have that good fortune if you want it."

He Li was ecstatic, proudly exclaiming, "Of course I want it! This good fortune — I definitely want it!"

Gao Yuan: "..."

Gao Yuan, infuriated beyond measure, exclaimed, "He Li, you really are impenetrable!"

"I am penetrable! How else would I have grown up without salt and oil?"

Gao Yuan metaphorically spat blood, completely done with talking to He Li.

It appeared he couldn’t win her over; better to let her go.

Yet even after sitting down, He Li didn’t leave. "Manager Gao, I haven’t had lunch yet; were you planning to treat me to a meal?"

Just as Gao Yuan was about to say no and send her away, he heard He Li greeting someone at the entrance.

"Mr. Qiao, over here."

Gao Yuan, feeling the urge to curse, could only manage a forced smile.

"Mr. Qiao, over here, I’m over here."

Nan Qiao approached, and an excited He Li said, "Mr. Qiao, Manager Gao said he’s treating us to a meal. He knew both of us hadn’t eaten and specifically asked me to call you over as well."

Gao Yuan had to swallow his pride.

"Mr. Qiao, what a coincidence that you haven’t eaten either. Let me treat you; please order whatever you’d like."

The menu was handed to Nan Qiao, and He Li also took one.

He Li casually ordered some of the most expensive items, and Nan Qiao did the same, choosing pricey Western dishes.

Nan Qiao, holding the menu, joked, "If it weren’t a workday, I’d really like to order a bottle of wine."

Gao Yuan nearly fainted!

The meal for the two of them cost him five thousand!

Nan Qiao said apologetically, "Manager Gao, I’m sorry, I really can eat a lot; did I order too much? Should I remove a few items?"

"No need, let’s consider it my treat to Mr. Qiao. Please enjoy your meal, I need to get back to work."

Gao Yuan didn’t hesitate and ran off faster than a rabbit, fearing more expenses if he stayed longer.

He Li clicked her tongue as she watched Gao Yuan make a hasty retreat.

"Just spent over five thousand, and look how scared he is. I thought he was more capable."

He Li hurriedly called out, "Mr. Qiao, please sit down, let me explain everything in detail."

Nan Qiao sat down, smiling, and soon a salad was brought out first to whet their appetites.

He Li recounted how Gao Yuan had approached her, adding, "He’s really foolish, trying to win me over serves no purpose. I’m just an ordinary employee, but to show my loyalty to Mr. Qiao, I quickly refused and even recorded it."

Nan Qiao was surprised at how much He Li had changed from initially opposing her to now showing such protection and loyalty.

"He Li, his attempt to win you over was just the beginning; he’s obviously planning to break us down one by one."

"He’s just too foolish then! We employees won’t believe him! Even if he’s sent from the headquarters, what of it? In the face of absolute ability, he’s worth nothing."

He Li added, "He’s not even from the Bai Family; he really thinks too highly of himself."

Nan Qiao simply smiled, truly hungry now, and began to enjoy her steak and pasta.

...

Gao Yuan returned to his office, his anger with nowhere to go, and he dared not smash anything.

He needed to be a leader who could control his emotions.

Just as he was calming down, he received a phone call from his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, why can’t our cooperation continue? Didn’t you start working there? Can’t you help me out? My newly established company can’t secure any orders, what should I do?"

Gao Yuan, distressed, replied, "Ah Fei, I might have started working here, but the company still has a CEO. He doesn’t want to cooperate with your company, what can I do?"

"Brother-in-law, you are a manager, can’t you think of something?"

"I did think of something; I went to Mr. Qiao, but she still disagreed. What can I do? I’m just a manager, she’s the CEO; whose authority do you think is greater?"

Gao Yuan shifted all the blame onto Nan Qiao, not considering for a moment that he was the one at fault.

"Who exactly is Mr. Qiao, just a woman, right?"

"Though she is a woman, she also is the CEO of the company. Ah Fei, I can’t help you."

"You’re really useless! How did my sister end up with someone as useless as you!" Gao Yuan’s brother-in-law angrily hung up.

Gao Yuan could no longer hold back, smashing the teacup on his desk.

Nan Qiao had just arrived at the company when she heard the noise.

Fu Xingyao beckoned, and Nan Qiao followed him back to the office. Fu Xingyao also entered with her.

"Mr. Qiao, it seems Gao Yuan flew into a rage because his brother-in-law’s company can’t cooperate with us. I listened in at the door for a bit. This worthless Gao Yuan even dared to push all the blame onto you."

Nan Qiao snorted with laughter, "Gao Yuan is quite skilled at shifting the blame."

Fu Xingyao added, "We’ve already started cooperating with external companies; we must deal with Gao Yuan promptly."

Not just to remove Gao Yuan from his position but to ensure he can’t even return to the head office, cutting off future problems at the root.

Fu Xingyao, hearing Nan Qiao’s confident voice, also breathed a sigh of relief.
