Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Qiaoqiao, I’ll Tell You a Secret

On Monday, Nan Qiao arrived at work.

Upon arriving at the company, Rong Yan hurried over to Nan Qiao’s side and walked with her.

Nan Qiao: ?

She noticed Rong Yan’s expression was off, but didn’t ask further and spoke to Rong Yan beside her, "The design I asked you to do, have you finished it? Come to my office!"

Nan Qiao had a commanding presence, her voice powerful, carrying an undeniable oppression that made people dare not make a sound.

Once in the office, Rong Yan finally said, "Mr. Qiao, your timing is perfect. There’s been an incident, Lin Zhiyuan switched the factory you had decided on without authorization. I wanted to call you, and then you arrived."

Nan Qiao snickered, "He really has guts!"

Nan Qiao took out her cellphone and sent a message in the group: meeting in the conference room in five minutes.

After doing all this, Nan Qiao said to Rong Yan, "Don’t go out yet, come with me to the meeting later."

Rong Yan was initially shocked, then understood her intention, "Mr. Qiao, are you worried about Lin Zhiyuan retaliating against me?"

Rong Yan continued, "Mr. Qiao, don’t worry, Lin Zhiyuan wouldn’t dare act blindly in the company. Everyone goes their separate ways after work, he’s not my boss, I don’t care if he drops dead!"

A smile appeared on Nan Qiao’s face, Rong Yan was indeed a likable kid.

In the meeting room.

Nan Qiao walked in, her gaze piercing, causing everyone to remain silent.

This included Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan didn’t understand what Nan Qiao meant, was this to intimidate him?

He looked at the young Nan Qiao, not taking her seriously at all.

Just as Lin Zhiyuan was contemplating, Nan Qiao’s gaze turned to him, "Manager Lin, why did you change the factory I had finalized? You hadn’t reported any issues to me beforehand!"

Was this a challenge?

A warning?

Lin Zhiyuan smiled, approachable, easily seem as someone easy to get along with.

"Mr. Qiao, I’ve been in this position for over a year, I know which factories are most suitable, what fabrics are best, I have more experience than you. I don’t know why you chose that factory, but I can tell you, I really didn’t think it was suitable."

"I don’t care what you think, I only care what I think!" Nan Qiao replied coldly.

Lin Zhiyuan felt slighted, her disregard made him even angrier.

"Mr. Qiao, you’re still young, lacking experience in this area. Just because you sit in that position, doesn’t mean you can decide everything." Lin Zhiyuan insisted.

Nan Qiao’s aura was fully unleashed, her eyes gleaming fiercely, "Oh? Are you unsatisfied with the fact that I’m in this position?"

"I didn’t mean that," Lin Zhiyuan said smilingly.

"I also want to know, who else can sit in my position!" Nan Qiao said with a cold laugh.

The icy beauty made her even more desirable to conquer.

Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, if you want to win, you must listen to the suggestions of us below you. Gathering a wide range of opinions will only make the company better."

Nan Qiao laughed, "What suggestions? Are you suggesting I listen to those who take bribes?"

"Mr. Qiao, what do you mean!" Lin Zhiyuan got angry.

Nan Qiao looked at him meaningfully, making Lin Zhiyuan’s scalp tingle.

Speaking slowly and deliberately, Nan Qiao said, "I mean exactly what I said. If there is nothing else, this meeting is adjourned. The decisions I make, no one should try to change for their personal gain!"

Nan Qiao stood up and left the meeting room coldly.

Some people, after the Xu Dayong incident, began to remain neutral.

After all, following Nan Qiao meant not being harassed or oppressed.

Gold will shine eventually.

They strove to shine, and Nan Qiao would not mistreat them.

Some people left, and some stayed.

A few who supported Lin Zhiyuan said, "Manager Liang, endure the small grievances to avoid disrupting the greater strategy, just endure a little longer."

"Let her strut around for a few days."

"This woman is ruthless; no one should try to say ’no’ to her."

People were exchanging remarks when Lin Zhiyuan slammed the table and stood up!

"Everyone shut up!"

Lin Zhiyuan ignored everyone and walked out.

...

Nan Qiao was in her office when she received a call from an unknown number.

"Is this Miss Nan Qiao?"

The voice on the other end was unfamiliar yet had a hint of familiarity.

Nan Qiao hummed in acknowledgment, and the person on the other end, sounding eager to please, said, "Miss Nan Qiao, this is Huang Jiamin. We are at your company’s entrance; could we come in? Manman and I have something to discuss with you."

Nan Qiao became curious. What were these two up to?

Moreover, they managed to find her company, which was no small feat.

"Okay," Nan Qiao told the receptionist to let them in.

Soon two people, carrying several luxury brand bags, walked in.

Their arrival caused quite a sensation.

Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman were rather attractive and had a good demeanor, enhanced by their luxurious attire, which drew everyone’s gaze.

Both of them headed to Nan Qiao’s office and pleasingly placed the gift bags on the desk.

Huang Jiamin: "Qiaoqiao, may I call you that? Other titles feel too formal and distant. If you weren’t switched at birth, then we’re actually friends now, and Bai Yurou has nothing to do with this, right?"

Ding Shiman: "Yes, I really prefer calling you Qiaoqiao. Look at you, fair and beautiful with long legs; everyone loves you, and you charm everyone you meet."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"No work, no pay; take these gifts back. Just say it, what do you want?"

Nan Qiao’s formulaic tone made them somewhat fearful.

Huang Jiamin said with a strong smile, "Qiaoqiao, we came here specifically to apologize to you. Everything at the horse farm was our fault; I sincerely want to apologize."

Ding Shiman: "It was my mistake for not recognizing how important you are, it was my fault. Qiaoqiao, we definitely won’t do anything against you in the future, please calm down, alright?"

Nan Qiao looked at the two charming girls who were gazing at her without blinking.

Nan Qiao almost wanted to laugh; why did it seem like she was the heartbreaker?

Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman were pampered since childhood.

After the incident at the horse farm, their families’ businesses faced various levels of oppression.

Knowing this, the elders at home lectured them.

The Bai Family cherished their true daughter, and their grandpa scolded them for siding with the imposter to fight against the true daughter; scolding them so much that he was beyond frustrated.

Neither of them had experienced such humiliation before, and after crying their hearts out, they grasped the concept of shared prosperity and shared losses.

Now bankrupt, they were nothing.

Thus, the two decided to buy many expensive gifts for Nan Qiao as a gesture of submission and to admit their faults.

From their conversation and mannerisms, Nan Qiao confirmed that the wise elders had noticed the tricks and had scolded them sharply.

As Nan Qiao was about to speak, the two sat in chairs, staring at her unblinkingly, eyes filled with both hope and worry.

Nan Qiao chuckled, and only then did they realize how beautiful Nan Qiao looked when she smiled.

Nan Qiao: "Don’t worry, I won’t hold a grudge against you."

Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Jiamin whispered, "Qiaoqiao, thank you for forgiving us. As a token of gratitude, I’ll share a secret with you."

Nan Qiao: ?

"What secret?"

Huang Jiamin continued, "It’s about Bai Yurou..."
