Saving Wang

Chapter 46



Chapter 46 A Gift

Yi Duanfang stared at Lan Ling with a curious look. “Why is she looking at me like this? Is there anything on my face?”

“Director, I still have things to do, so I have to go.” Lan Ling avoided his sharp eyes and trotted away.

With a loud snort, Yi Duanfang opened the door and walked into the office.

Seeing Wang Weixi sitting there in a daze, Yi Duanfang rushed toward him and patted the table violently, which struck terror into Wang Weixi’s heart. Wang Weixi came to his senses and cast Yi Duanfang a glare, saying, “Brat, are you insane?”

Yi Duanfang replied in an unrushed tone, with his hands on his waist, “Wow, Wang Weixi, you’re so absent-minded. If I had not done this, how could you regain your senses?”

Yi Duanfang felt depressed. Thinking of what happened just now, he felt upset. Wang Weixi responded in a cruel voice, “Why did you come again? I have a pile of things to do, so I don’t have the time to have fun with you.”

Yi Duanfang drew toward the sofa and sat down, saying ironically, “Yo, Mr. Wang, are you showing me your authority now?”

Seeing that Yi Duanfang looked calm but there was a hint of miff in his eyes, Wang Weixi realized that he had overacted, so he immediately said, “Duanfang, you know, I did not mean it.”

Yi Duanfang snorted, “I don’t want to argue with you, and I don’t care about it. But you’re already a manager, how could you look so distracted? Were you thinking about your pretty wife just now?” Thinking of Chen Kexin, he almost gnashed his teeth with hatred.

Wang Weixi was stunned. What happened yesterday afternoon sprang to his mind and he chuckled. “Nah, I was thinking about how to cooperate with Jinxiu.”

Yi Duanfang nodded and his eyes lit up. “Were you thinking of Tong Siqi?”

Wang Weixi hesitated for a while before he finally spoke. “I was not thinking of her. I was recalling some previous things.”

Yi Duanfang chuckled, holding his chin with one hand, and said with a snicker, “Looks like you really care about the past.”

Wang Weixi shook his head with a thoughtful look. “I don’t care about it, but Tong Siqi has not given me an answer. I really don’t want to be dumped by her like this. But it doesn’t matter. I only wonder how she will react if she knows that I married a beautiful girl.”

“How would you like her to react?” Yi Duanfang suddenly asked curiously.

Wang Weixi froze there, speechless for a while. “Right, how would I like her to react? There is no relationship between us now.”

Yi Duanfang smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Well, I know what’s in your mind. Speaking of your dignity, you definitely hope that she would regret it, right?”

Wang Weixi gave no response.

Yi Duanfang chuckled and said, “It might not happen, because only you treat your beautiful wife as a treasure.” Then he giggled.

Wang Weixi stared at him speechlessly. He knew that Yi Duanfang could only vent his anger by teasing him, even though it was Kexin who had offended him. Thinking of it, Wang Weixi could not help but sympathize with him. “Yi Duanfang, Yi Duanfang, no one could make you yield, but now why are you losing the ground?” Then he thought of Chen Keren and Lan Xiao, sighing inwardly, “Alas… I really hope that Yi Duanfang would be Chen Keren’s lover. If he married Chen Keren, he would probably change his sissy look.”

After all, this was still the working time. After telling several jokes from time to time, they started serious discussions about their cooperation with Jinxiu.

Yi Duanfang was surprised that not long after being promoted, Wang Weixi was able to handle the overall situation, even though he knew that Wang Weixi was capable of it. As for this case, it looked like the president thought highly of him and assigned him the task, but everyone knew that it was the president and some colleagues who made difficulties for him on purpose.

They did not dare to provoke Chen Derong and his son-in-law, Wang Weixi, but they were unwilling to play up to him, so his superiors seemingly treated Wang Weixi with respect and cared about him. Actually, they set him up behind his back.

This time, they let Wang Weixi take charge of the cooperation issue because they thought that even though his father-in-law helped him get promotion from a small staff member to a general manager, Wang Weixi was definitely unable to handle it. If Wang Weixi made a mistake at work, they would come to turn the tables while taking the chance to “humiliate” him and vent their dissatisfaction.

Wang Weixi could not take those things into consideration. He only knew that he wanted to show everyone that he was a competent general manager. It did not matter how he obtained this position. Importantly, he was capable of taking up the post as a general manager.

Wang Weixi still held the business proposal and said something to Yi Duanfang, who felt relieved. “Looks like my fears are unnecessary.”

“What’s up? Why are you laughing?” Wang Weixi occasionally looked up and caught Yi Duanfang’s rare gentle smile. It looked like the bright smile he had shown when Wang Weixi encountered him for the first time and helped him shoo away the bullies on the street.

Later on, such a smile was rarely seen. As time passed by, they grew up and made a living by themselves. Yi Duanfang became odder. His character gradually deviated from the “normal standard” in his eyes. Many people thought his dress and behavior became odder and odder. In the end, he called himself a “cross-dresser”. It seemed that Wang Weixi suddenly knew nothing of him.

But Yi Duanfang still treated him well and called him brother. He even started to understand how to use his sophistication to cover his own arrogance and gradually adapted to the living surroundings of the metropolis…

Seeing that Wang Weixi was staring at him, Yi Duanfang calmly said with a frivolous look, “I just recalled some things. Continue. Don’t mind me.”

Wang Weixi shook his head and said accusingly, pretending he was angry, “I’m discussing with you. If you don’t listen to me, who am I talking to?”

Yi Duanfang curled his lips and responded in an idle tone, “Ah! I know, I know. Do you want to tell me off? I’m listening now.”

Wang Weixi rolled his eyes and continued representing his plan. There would be another meeting tomorrow. As it was his first presentation, he felt a bit nervous.

Hence, he hoped he could make a complete demonstration in front of Yi Duanfang. Furthermore, with Yi Duanfang by his side, he felt at ease.

Then three hours passed by. Yi Duanfang also offered a few suggestions about the architectural proposal and design drawings while Wang Weixi listened carefully and kept them in mind in order to revise it later.

“Rat-a-tat.” Lan Ling knocked on the door at an unrushed pace. She had entered the office once. Seeing Yi Duanfang and Wang Weixi seriously discussing the cooperation plan, she poured tea for them and retreated quietly.

She felt that Yi Duanfang’s grim face seemed to contain magic and attracted her attention.

Seeing their intimacy interaction and thinking of the rumors over the past few days, Lan Ling actually had an idea that the two guys were a perfect match.

“Come in.” Wang Weixi put down the proposal and poured hot water for Yi Duanfang.

Lan Ling walked over in a panic. It was unknown whether she was afraid of being found out her mind drifting away or something else.

Seeing her uneasy look, Wang Weixi frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Lan Ling nodded and replied, “Mr. Wang, this… Miss Tong from the Jinxiu Company sent you a gift.” Upon hearing this, Wang Weixi and Yi Duanfang were petrified. “What? Have I misheard? A gift?”

Wang Weixi glanced at Yi Duanfang and asked in an unnatural tone, “What gift?”

Lan Ling was also curious about it. As a big company, Jinxiu was superior to Huaxia. As for this chance of cooperation with Jinxiu, it was their president who tried his best to win the place of being a tentative partner.

“In that case, why did Tong Siqi give Wang Weixi a gift? For showing their friendliness? That’s impossible. Then… is it personal?” Lan Ling widened her eyes and became flustered for what she thought. “How is this possible? No, it…”
