Chapter 166: Didn’t Expect You to Be So Saucy

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Didn’t Expect You to Be So Saucy

"Your assistant isn’t half bad,"

Yang Linglong sat on the sofa in the CEO’s office,

smiling as she watched Ning Mengyao regain control of the situation.

The shares and positions had been successfully transferred.

Through this incident, she had advanced even further.

"What, are you saying you’re better than that mysterious tycoon boyfriend?"

Although Ning Mengyao was happy now,

she also felt very anxious in her heart.

After all, there was still no clue about the medical cosmetic hospital situation.

The family members and the media jamming up the company downstairs had nearly paralyzed the Ning Group.

As the CEO, she had to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

"Of course, he can’t compare, but he’s still better than your toad of a husband, right? With such a big incident, he couldn’t be of any help, didn’t show up from the beginning to the end. If it weren’t for you saying he had saved you, I would have thought he didn’t exist."

Yang Linglong leaned on the sofa, pouting.

The crisis of the Ning Group hadn’t been resolved yet.

"Your big-shot boyfriend also didn’t show up, did he? We women have to be self-reliant and strong in this world. Men are unreliable,"

Ning Mengyao couldn’t break through this layer of relationship,

she could only smile wryly and lean back in her chair.

"Men are unreliable, except for my boyfriend, of course. Well, now that you’re back on track, I won’t disturb you anymore. But if you run into trouble, you can call me to have another drink. Next time, let’s drink at home, it’s too dangerous outside,"

Thinking back on this morning’s ordeal, Yang Linglong felt it was even more thrilling than last night.

Ling Fan’s identity was nearly revealed by the barest of margins.

"I feel the same way, let’s keep in touch,"

Ning Mengyao said with a smile, "By the way, how was the replenishing tonic soup Qi Qi brought for you last time? If there’s good news, remember to let me know, as your godmother, I need to prepare gifts in advance."

"You should worry about your own stomach first,"

Yang Linglong stuck out her tongue when the topic arose,

but felt somewhat uneasy inside.

For tonight, she had to go back and cook the herbal medicine.

Seeing Yang Linglong leave the office with her bag, Ning Mengyao immediately dialed Lin Fan’s number.

It wasn’t long before the office door was pushed open.

"Should we now discuss what exactly happened?"

Seeing Lin Fan come in, Ning Mengyao immediately stood up,

pulled him to sit on the sofa.

She was eager to know why so much had happened overnight.

"It was the Ning father and son secretly planting the Western Poison Flower in the garden... so I secretly added some ingredients, making the poisonous flower bloom even more splendidly... Now they dare not make any big moves, or else they might attract official attention..."

Lin Fan explained the ins and outs of the situation with a smile.

After hearing this, Ning Mengyao finally came to a realization.

She hadn’t expected the father and son to go to such lengths in their scheme.

"So that’s what happened... Does that mean you can control when the flowers bloom?"

"Of course. I just adjusted the mixture, making the flowers bloom overnight that normally would last for half a month. So those Western Poison Flowers should have started wilting by now. Starting tomorrow, there won’t be any more cases of poisoning,"

Lin Fan said with a secretive smile.

"Ah... Even though the flowers have withered, the problems haven’t ended. The hospital has been forcibly closed down, bank loans have been halted, and the company’s cash flow is in jeopardy after the funds were used for acquisitions. There’s only enough to last a month. I remember you mentioned that I might not be able to pay the wages. Your words have come true,"

Ning Mengyao slumped helplessly on the sofa.

The smooth acquisition plan had been sabotaged by the father and son of the Ning Family,

turning it into bad assets instead.

Especially, the banks cutting off loans is definitely the most lethal.

No company can handle this sudden trouble.

"Maybe, this situation can be turned into a good thing, look what this is?"

Lin Fan took out a paper packet from his pocket with a mysterious look.

After gently opening it, it turned out to be a bunch of black particles that looked like sesame seeds.

"What?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled expression.

"These are the seeds of the Western Poison Flower, a commodity more valuable than gold, and as far as I know, they’re very difficult to obtain. I have no idea where Ning Changfeng got them from,"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"So what use is that? Even if we could sell it, this small amount, no matter how expensive, wouldn’t be enough for the company’s operations,"

Ning Mengyao frowned.

No matter how precious these seeds were, they were still useless compared to the company.

"Selling it as it is won’t fetch much money, but if we cultivate it using my method, then it truly becomes a treasure,"

Lin Fan said with a secretive smile, "The poison flower stimulates intestinal movements, which is why it causes vomiting and a poisoned state. But it also has benefits, like being a potent calmative. For those with poor sleep, it works wonders. If each room had one pot, it could be the best supplement for insomniacs. I’ve already replanted the seeds in the flowerbeds and added some medicinal herbs. They should bloom by tomorrow night. So now, it’s time for crisis management."

"Crisis management?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan, curious.

She had no idea what kind of scheme he was brewing.

"Of course. Have you heard about the bear bile incident at Tong Ren Tang a few days ago? Although it caused a lot of negative effects, because it involved real bear bile, they sold out products that had been in stock for years. That’s the power of crisis management,"

Lin Fan weighed the seeds in his hand, "We too should admit proactively that the side effects were caused by cultivating a new product. We should offer compensation and announce that we have successfully controlled its effects through artificial intervention. Tonight, you can stay in the hospital to prove this. Sleep is the best beauty treatment, right? We can set up a specialized sleeping area, help people with sleep therapy, and in the future, deeply process and cultivate more benefits from it. With this news, I guarantee we can earn back the money spent on compensation within half a month."

"This operation of yours..."

Having heard Lin Fan’s plan, Ning Mengyao was stunned.

"What, do you think there’s a problem?"

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao with a smile.

"No problem at all. It’s just... it’s just too sly! I never thought you could be so cunning!"

Ning Mengyao couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

Lin Fan’s defensive and offensive strategy was truly terrifying.

"Could it be that I too have been bitten by a snake?"

Lin Fan suddenly flashed a mischievous smile.

In an instant, Ning Mengyao’s face turned crimson.

"You dare mock me? Want to bet I can make you pay?"

That day was definitely the most embarrassing moment Ning Mengyao didn’t want to recall in her life.

After all, she, who had always been proper, wanted to do something out of the ordinary for the first time.

Who knew she’d end up giving herself to her fiancé.

"How would you do it? By sitting to death, or... doing it to death?"

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao with a teasing grin.

Her scent was always so intoxicating.

And her flawless face was just inches away.

To hold her in his arms freely would undoubtedly be one of life’s greatest joys.

"Stop it, I’m not talking to you anymore!"

Ning Mengyao bashfully blushed.

She stood up and quickly walked away.

But the sweetness in her heart grew thicker and thicker.

Nowadays, no matter how she looked at him, everything about him seemed perfect.
