Chapter 1039: Chapter 1038 At Least the Face Should Be Fair

“So it turns out I can rely on my looks to make a living as well.” Wang Dadong held a cigarette between his fingers, took a gentle puff, and displayed an expression of sudden realization.

Wang Dadong’s words once again reshaped Tang Ninger’s understanding of the term “bottom line”.

Shameless, truly shameless. Is there anyone in the world who can be so brazen?

A grown man, being called a pretty boy, being kept, and not feeling ashamed but rather proud!

He’s got to be pretending. Deep down, he must be dying of embarrassment.

After all, being called a pretty boy as a man is almost the same as being called a coward, Tang Ninger thought to herself.

But does this guy look even a little bit upset?

“Manager, aren’t you feeling at least a bit uncomfortable?” Tang Ninger couldn’t help but ask.

“Why should I feel uncomfortable? Being a pretty boy isn’t something you can just decide to be; at least you have to look good. After all, this is a society that judges by appearance. But Assistant Tang, you look quite good too.” Wang Dadong said leisurely with his legs crossed.

Tang Ninger froze at his words, widened her eyes, and asked, “So, you didn’t even look at my resume when you hired me because I’m pretty?”

“That’s right,” Wang Dadong replied without a second thought.

Tang Ninger, a bit annoyed, gritted her teeth and said, “Manager, do you choose talent based on looks instead of their abilities?”

Tang Ninger indeed had a reason to be angry. Although she was pretty, she was someone who always liked to rely on her skills.

If Wang Dadong hired her into the Shiyan Group for her abilities, she would have been delighted. But he chose her because she was pretty!

“Skills can be developed over time, but looks are natural. If a job can be done by both the ugly and the pretty, why wouldn’t I choose the pretty one?” Wang Dadong said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing Wang Dadong’s words, Tang Ninger immediately became frustrated, yet she couldn’t refute him.

She could only blame herself for not meeting the right person, ending up with such a bizarre leader.

No way, I, Tang Ninger, can’t work in a place like this! I’m a top student, a genius, not a vase!

She initially thought that the Shiyan Group could provide her a platform to showcase herself, but unexpectedly, she met a leader who was kept by someone else and spouted absurd theories. This company, Tang Ninger felt unable to stay.

With this in mind, Tang Ninger took a deep breath and said, “Sorry manager, I want to resign.”

“Not approved,” Wang Dadong stated decisively.

“I haven’t even given my resignation reason yet, and you’re not approving?” Tang Ninger slammed her hand onto the desk in anger. How could there be such a rascal who wouldn’t let her showcase her abilities and wouldn’t let her leave?

But, although a bit angry, Tang Ninger felt a bit secretly pleased. Wang Dadong not approving her resignation meant that he still recognized her abilities and didn’t want her to leave the company.

As long as she could get a job that matched her abilities and was no longer a mere flower vase, she could reluctantly not resign.

But what Wang Dadong said next made Tang Ninger completely collapse.

“If you leave, who will I send to buy coffee?”

Tang Ninger felt she had reached her limit, deciding not to argue with Wang Dadong and just leave.

Staying in a company like this, with a leader like this, had no future prospect.

Even if the Shiyan Group were to sue her for breach of contract, she had to resign.

Just as Tang Ninger reached the door, Wang Dadong’s voice rang out, “Let me tell you something before you leave: humans dominate the world because they can adapt to it, not because they can change it.”

Tang Ninger turned back, seeing a pair of eyes filled with wisdom and stories.

Those eyes seemed to see through her soul.

In front of Wang Dadong, it felt as though she was being seen through.

However, that feeling only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. When Tang Ninger snapped back to reality, Wang Dadong had returned to his nonchalant demeanor, starting to play cards.

“Such a strange leader. I won’t leave. I want to see if you can withstand these rumors!” Tang Ninger snorted.

Rumors are a terrifying thing. In some cases, the power of rumors is no less than that of real threats.

Even if Wang Dadong himself doesn’t care, it’s unlikely that the senior female leader could withstand the pressure. By then, Wang Dadong would likely face being kicked out.

After all, this world is like that, where the weak are always sacrificed.

And Wang Dadong playing the role of being kept was undoubtedly the weak one.

After some adjustments and adaptation, Shiyan Group had built its own security team, but Jinding’s security hadn’t been removed either; a new batch of security personnel was even hired.

The manager is still Zeng Xiaozhang, which indicates that Zeng Xiaozhang still has some background; otherwise, with so many employees resigning collectively, he couldn’t have kept his position.

Both security teams operate without interfering with each other.

The new batch of security personnel from Jinding is obviously of higher quality than the previous ones, even more professional than Wang Dadong’s team.

But this isn’t too big of an issue; sooner or later, Wang Dadong will build an elite security team.

In the security department office, Lv Xiaoqian had already returned after finishing her tasks, but she felt very puzzled because it seemed like Zeng Xiaozhang had suddenly changed.

Because, in the past, Zeng Xiaozhang would have tried every means to take advantage of her. But now, the way he looked at her was like the way he looked at male security guards in the department.

Lv Xiaoqian naturally didn’t know that Zeng Xiaozhang had already been rendered powerless by Maria, and naturally, he had no interest in women anymore.

The reason Zeng Xiaozhang was still at Jinding was simple; he was going to play his trump card, intending to ruin Wang Dadong’s reputation!

Spreading rumors was just the first step.

Of course, if Lin Shiyan could meet his conditions…

President’s office.

“Su Ying, just say what you need to say,” Lin Shiyan closed the folder in her hands and looked up at Su Ying, who had been standing in the office for a good ten minutes without uttering a word.

At this moment, Su Ying looked very conflicted, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

“President Lin… I don’t know how to start…” After a long time, Su Ying bit her lip and said.

“Su Ying, you’ve been with me for quite some time, you should know what kind of person I am,” Lin Shiyan slightly frowned as well.

Su Ying took a deep breath and said, “President Lin, haven’t you heard any rumors at all?”

“What rumors?”

“About Wang Dadong. Rumors are circulating throughout the company that Wang Dadong and a certain female leader at the company are having an affair, which is why he’s doing so well here,” Su Ying said in a small voice.
