Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Ma Li’s Girlish Thoughts_1

Chu City.

During Ning Fan’s absence, the development of Tianling Biotech Company proceeded extremely smoothly. The provincial branch company had been fully established and was operating on the right track.

Spirit Qi Water was now so popular it was practically explosive!

It had become a super hit product sweeping across the entire provincial city!

Its influence was no longer confined to Jiang Province, with many people from other provinces flocking to buy a bottle of Spirit Qi Water.

"Manager Lin, this is the sales report for the past three days, please have a look," a young woman dressed in a white blouse and OL-style skirt handed a report to Lin Xiaoling.

It was Ma Li.

It’s hard to imagine that just less than ten days ago, she was still a senior in college.

Now, she had become a capable, mature, and confident white-collar worker.

Lin Xiaoling nodded and discussed the company’s business with Ma Li.

Over this period, she had watched Ma Li’s rapid progress, which was just like her own in the beginning.

In a very short time, Ma Li had grown from a newbie who knew nothing to a strong woman capable of holding her own.

"By the way, Manager Lin, when is Ning Brother coming back?" Ma Li suddenly asked.

She was now calling Ning Fan "Ning Brother" instead because she didn’t want the term "brother-in-law" to remind people of Pan Ting.

Besides, she harbored a little girlish thought in her heart.

That was:

If she always called Ning Fan "brother-in-law," then she would never qualify to like him.

But if she called him "Ning Brother," then theoretically she would have the right to like him, to pursue him...

"I don’t know when my brother will be back either. His phone has been turned off every time I call... I hope nothing’s happened to him, and that he comes back soon..." Lin Xiaoling said worriedly.

Ning Fan’s phone had broken in several major battles some time ago, so Lin Xiaoling had been unable to contact him.

"Ning Brother probably won’t have any problems..." Ma Li also showed a worried expression.

"Don’t worry, my brother is very capable, he’ll be okay! By the way, Ma Li, I’m planning to go back to River City in a while, and I’m leaving the provincial city branch in your hands," Lin Xiaoling added.

Over this period, she had come to understand Ma Li quite well.

Plus, Ma Li had essentially been in charge of the provincial city branch for the past few days.

Lin Xiaoling mainly wanted to go back to accompany Ding Hongxia.

Furthermore, Ning Fan had once told her to trust Ma Li.

So, she decided to trust Ning Fan and give Ma Li a chance.

"Manager Lin, please rest assured, you and Ning Brother trust me so much, I will definitely not let you nor Ning Brother down," Ma Li didn’t refuse, but nodded emphatically.

She hoped to help Ning Fan more, so that she would have the right to like him, to pursue him!

...

After work, on returning to the house she rented, Ma Li found several people she didn’t want to see standing at the door.

Pan Ting, Pan Dajiang, Ma Xiulian, and her father Ma Fugui.

Of course, Ma Fugui was still in a wheelchair.

"Why have you come?" Ma Li frowned.

"Yo? Ma Li, Ma Li, listen to how you speak? That’s your dad, and I’m your auntie. We come to see you and you’re not happy?" Ma Xiulian spoke up immediately.

"Hmph, Pan Ting is wealthy now, so naturally, she looks down on us poor relatives!"

Pan Ting immediately began speaking sarcastically before turning to Ma Fugui in the wheelchair, "Uncle, look, your niece doesn’t even want to see us, and now she doesn’t even want to see you, her father!"

Ma Fugui’s expression turned stern as he slapped the armrest of his wheelchair and angrily pointed at Ma Li, "Ma Li! You ungrateful thing, what kind of way is that to talk? Aren’t you going to invite your aunt and the others in right now?"

Reluctantly, Ma Li opened the door to let the four of them in.

Once inside and seated on the sofa, Ma Xiulian couldn’t help but immediately ask, "Ma Li, I heard that Tianling Biotech has opened a branch in the provincial city, and you are in charge?"

"Daughter, tell us, does Tianling Biotech Company make a lot of money? You’re managing the whole provincial city branch, so do you handle tens of millions every day?" Ma Fugui also couldn’t contain his curiosity.

It turned out that the four of them had heard the news in River City and came looking for her.

"I indeed will be responsible for Tianling Biotech’s provincial city branch, but I won’t do anything to betray the company, nor will I do anything to betray Ning Brother," Ma Li said with a frown, setting a preemptive boundary.

"Ning Fan really entrusted the provincial city branch to you?" Ma Xiulian’s eyes immediately turned green with envy.

Ning Fan’s Tianling Biotech Company had already become a star enterprise in Jiang Province, and Ma Xiulian regretted not cherishing him when she had the chance.

If she had known that Ning Fan would soar to great heights, she would have definitely nurtured him back then!

Pan Ting looked at Ma Li with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

If she hadn’t betrayed Ning Fan back then, she would be the lady boss of the grand Tianling Biotech Company now!

"Ma Li, here’s the thing, I had some misunderstandings with Ning Fan before. Can you set up a meal for me? I’d like to explain the past misunderstandings over dinner," Pan Ting said to Ma Li, hopeful.
