Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Chu City Branch Manager_1

"It’s okay, the scale isn’t really that big," Ning Fan said calmly.

Yu Lu swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Then, what do you want me to do in your company?"

"The order volume in Chu City has been too great lately, and it looks like there will be even more coming, so I’m planning to open a branch office here," Ning Fan said seriously. "I want you to be the manager of my branch office and help me set up the Chu City branch."

Whoosh!

Yu Lu suddenly stood up from the sofa, her face flushed with excitement, her eyes filled with surprise.

But in an instant, she hesitated and said, "But, Ning Fan, I... I’m just a saleswoman selling houses, I... I don’t know how to be a branch manager... No, I’m sorry, I don’t have the capability or the experience."

Observing Yu Lu’s reaction, Ning Fan replied with a meaningful tone, "Many times, what I value more is loyalty. As for capability and experience, those can be gradually improved."

"Ah? You mean..." Yu Lu’s face showed disbelief.

"If you’re willing, the position of manager at Tianling Biology’s Chu City branch is yours. I can give you trust, but I hope you will repay me with loyalty," Ning Fan stated bluntly.

Yu Lu’s face went through several changes, she took deep breaths, and after a moment, as if she had made an important decision, she nodded firmly at Ning Fan: "Ning Fan, I promise you! I definitely won’t let you down!"

Everyone knew how popular Spirit Qi Water was at the moment and just how bright Tianling Biology’s future would be.

A manager position at Tianling Biology’s branch office, if made public, would have countless business elites fighting over it!

And now it was being offered to Yu Lu, an ordinary saleswoman!

At that moment, Yu Lu felt like she must have accumulated great fortune in her past life to have an old classmate like Ning Fan.

Seeing Yu Lu’s agreement, Ning Fan called Lin Xiaoling over and introduced their identities to each other.

"This is my sister Lin Xiaoling, the chairman of Tianling Biology. She will be in charge of all the setup work for the branch office," he said.

Yu Lu shook Lin Xiaoling’s hand and nodded repeatedly, "Chairman Lin, I will definitely do my job well! Please be assured!"

Lin Xiaoling smiled and said, "You were personally selected by my brother, I’m definitely assured. Let’s work well together in the future."

Next, Ning Fan had them discuss the subsequent work, while he once again acted as a hands-off boss.

In truth, Ning Fan didn’t know much about corporate management, but he understood that no matter the size of a business, it’s always people who are in control.

As long as you choose the right people, big mistakes won’t happen.

Whether Yu Lu was the right person or not, he wasn’t sure yet, but he was going to give Yu Lu his trust first.

Whether Yu Lu could grasp this trust or not, that was up to her.

...

Ding-a-ling!

It wasn’t long before Ning Fan received a call from Xu Yourong.

"Ning Fan, remember to come to my place at noon," Xu Yourong’s voice came over the phone, unable to contain her happiness.

Ning Fan chuckled softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget such an important matter."

"Hehe, you don’t need to be nervous either. Now that you’re even on the Qingyun Ranking panel of judges, my dad won’t make things difficult for you anymore."

After chatting for a while and hanging up, Ning Fan began to ponder: What gift should he prepare?

Today wasn’t just a simple matter of meeting the parents; it also included an element of marriage proposal.

Without a decent gift, it really would seem somewhat inappropriate.

"What should I give as a gift?"

Ning Fan had never given a gift before, and after a long time thinking, he simply couldn’t come up with a satisfactory idea.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon two jade slabs on the coffee table.

The previous Jade Cauldron had been broken into seven large pieces, which were used as the focal points of the Spirit Gathering Array, but there were still two small fragments left on the coffee table.

Seeing these two small jade pieces, a flash of inspiration struck Ning Fan.

"That’s it, the quality of these jade pieces isn’t bad, and I can make them into two jade pendants. I can inscribe them with simplified miniature Spirit Gathering Arrays. Wouldn’t that be much better than a typical gift?"

No sooner said than done, Ning Fan immediately got to work, picking up the jade pieces to start carving.

Though making jade pendants wasn’t difficult, carving the simplified miniature Spirit Gathering Arrays was challenging; it required focused concentration, consumption of mental energy, and delicate manipulation of Spiritual Power.

Of course, the effectiveness of the simplified miniature Spirit Gathering Array paled in comparison to the full-fledged Spirit Gathering Array, but when worn as a pendant, it could continuously attract the weak Spiritual Energy around it, ensuring the wearer was always enveloped in Spiritual Energy.

Over time, it could even extend one’s lifespan, improve physical constitution, and have rejuvenating effects, restoring youth.

If a cultivator wore it, it could subtly enhance their cultivation level.

After several hours, Ning Fan let out a long breath.

On the coffee table lay two jade pendants, the size of fingertips. Although they appeared somewhat rough on the outside, the inscribed simplified miniature Spirit Gathering Arrays were successfully carved.

A faint aura of Spiritual Energy surrounded the two pendants, creating a feeling of refreshment and serenity for anyone who approached.

Ning Fan held them in his hand and smiled faintly.

In his eyes, these two pendants were certainly treasures. To a connoisseur, they might not be priceless, but they could not be measured in ordinary sums of money.

Yu Lu and Lin Xiaoling had already left to take care of setting up the branch office.

Ning Fan changed his clothes and seeing that the time was about right, he left the villa.

Soon, Ning Fan arrived at the front gate of the Xu Family’s residence.

"I’ve arrived," Ning Fan sent a message to Xu Yourong.

Less than ten seconds later, the reply came back.

"I’ll be right there!"

Despite the brief message of just four words, Ning Fan could feel Xu Yourong’s joyous excitement.

Ning Fan smiled and stood by the gate, waiting.

At that moment, two figures arrived at the gate, it was Xue Shengbei and Xu Qingfeng.

"Yo, isn’t this the new Rising Clouds List judge Ning Fan?" Xu Qingfeng spoke in a mocking tone. "What brings you to our Xu Family’s doorstep?"

"What Rising Clouds List judge? I heard this guy bribed Hu Xinnian, that’s how he sneaked in as a judge," Xue Shengbei chimed in. "Such a despicable person coming to the Xu Family is simply a stain on our doorstep!"

"Really?" Xu Qingfeng said exaggeratedly. "Isn’t it said that this so-called Hero Ning even killed the Young Hall Master of the Divine Tune Sect’s Tianying Hall?"

"Heh, I’ve heard that this Hero Ning knelt before the Young Hall Master like a dog, begging piteously. Only then was he spared!"

Both were tossing barbs at each other, their words sharp and vitriolic, extremely adept at belittling.

Ning Fan’s expression darkened slightly, yet he remained calm, not responding at all.

After all, he was here to propose marriage today, and he didn’t want to lose his decorum.
