Chapter 179 One Minute
Fan Yunting turned her head and looked at Xu Shu. Suddenly, she looked sad and almost cried. Xu Shu sighed and went over to hold her arm. He said, "Mr. Fan, I know you like Tang Qian, but some things can't be forced. Sit down. I'll listen to whatever you want to say."
Fan Yunting's tears finally fell, and she couldn't control her sobbing. Xu Shu helped her sit on the sofa, and then gave me a look. I could only sigh and turned around to get a box of tissue paper.
Fan Yunting sat there, covering her eyes and crying quietly. Xu Shu took out a few pieces of paper and stuffed them into her hands. He said, "Wipe it off, don't be sad. In fact, we are both poor women. You like him, and I like him too. But... these are relationships that will never have a result."
Fan Yunting wiped her tears with a tissue and said sadly, "Tang Qian...at least likes you, but he never even looks at me straight in the eye. How can I...be as happy as you?"
Xu Shu sighed, "I am the same... I cannot stand the light. When I am with him, I live in fear every day. How can I be happy? If things go wrong, he and I will be ruined and our ending will be even worse than yours. President Fan, you are a smart woman and you should know that this kind of love will not have a good result. Tang Qian and I can't turn back, but you still have room for choice. You will find a good man who truly loves you. You are so outstanding, are you afraid that no one will love you?"
Fan Yunting just cried, using tissue after tissue to wipe her tears. Xu Shu turned around and gave me another look, suggesting that I come over to comfort her.
I had no choice but to walk up to Fan Yunting and said, "Mr. Fan, I won't hide it from you. Xu Shu and I are together now. I couldn't help what I said before. But Mr. Fan, I have never deceived your feelings, and I have never had any improper thoughts about you. Xu Shu and I fell in love with each other through untold hardships, and I can't imagine whether I can live without her. I hope...you can understand us, and I also hope that you can get your own happiness. Mr. Fan, do you understand?"
Fan Yunting stopped wiping her tears, stared at me and said, "I see! Isn't that a rejection of me?"
Xu Shu kicked me hurriedly, signaling me to get out of here. Then he hugged Fan Yunting and said, "Boss Fan, Tang Qian means he doesn't want to hurt you anymore. You should know that love without a result is very painful, and I have experienced this deeply. Do you want to suffer like me for the rest of your life?"
Fan Yunting said: "Since you love each other, why are you suffering? Just explain it to Hua Jingjing. Tang Qian is not really married!"
Xu Shu looked disappointed and sighed, "Of course it's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do it. Tang Qian and I are not the kind of people who do things without any scruples. Sometimes, we would rather suffer ourselves than hurt others!"
Fan Yunting threw away the tissue in her hand and snorted, "You guys are sneaking around like this, aren't you hurting people?"
Xu Shu was speechless and just sighed. I walked back and said to Fan Yunting, "Boss Fan, we have made it very clear. If you understand us, please support us. If you look down on us, please leave. It's up to you whether to tell Hua Jingjing or not. We are not afraid!"
Xu Shu got anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and pushed me towards the bedroom, lowering his throat and saying to me: "Tang Qian, you are crazy! Aren't you pushing us into a dead end? Go to the room and let me do it here!"
I was about to say something to protest when she pushed me into the bedroom. Xu Shu ordered, "Stay here and don't come out without my permission!" She grabbed the door handle and locked me in with a bang.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought to myself, Xu Shu, you are the crazy one. Fan Yunting means that she also wants to be my lover. If I don't reject her, does that mean I will accept her?
I sat on the bed in a daze, not knowing what Xu Shu and Fan Yunting were talking about outside. My mind was full of random thoughts, sometimes happy and sometimes anxious.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the door suddenly opened and I saw Fan Yunting walk in with her arms outstretched and rushed towards me. I was startled and shouted, "Boss Fan! What are you doing?"
Fan Yunting didn't care and quickly kissed my lips. I was shocked! I was completely stunned!
Just as I was trying to push her away, Xu Shu appeared at the door and shouted, "Don't reject her, just give her a minute!"
What the hell is going on? Oh my god! Can someone tell me?
Xu Shu quickly closed the door again. Fan Yunting hugged me tightly so that I couldn't move. I had no choice but to turn my head away and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Fan! Please respect yourself!"
Fan Yunting panted heavily, bit my ear, and whispered, "Tang Qian! I only have one minute, please... kiss me!"
I was really angry! I pushed her off the bed with all my strength. Then I stood up angrily, opened the door, and shouted to Xu Shu who was standing at the door and eavesdropping, "What the hell are you two doing?"
Xu Shu pouted and said, "She promised to keep the secret for us and also promised to give up you. She only asked for one minute to have you, and I... agreed !"
I… I frowned and said seriously, “Xu Shu! Are you kidding me? Are you selling me out like this? If some man tells me in the future that he agrees to give up on you, I have to let him have you for one minute? This is… nonsense!”
Xu Shu's lips flattened, and she said aggrievedly: "Isn't this all for you? Don't you think I'm sad?"
At this time, Fan Yunting got up from the ground, touched her hurt shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, don't quarrel over me. I knew he wouldn't agree." She walked out of the bedroom, turned her head and looked at me deeply, and said: "Tang Qian... I won't bother you anymore in the future. I... wish you all the best!"
After saying this, she turned around and left sadly, without even looking at me again.
Xu Shu complained to me, "She is also a poor woman. How can you be so cruel and not give her even a minute?" I glared at her and said, "Come on! I am not a toy. You can give it to anyone you want to play with. When you promised her, did you ever consider my feelings?"
Xu Shu said: "You are a man, you won't suffer any loss! I gave you a chance to take advantage of me out of kindness, but you are still mean to me..."
"Who wants to take advantage? Do you think I'm that kind of man? Xu Shu, you disappoint me so much!"
"Tang Qian...you are so fierce..." Xu Shu simply put on a pitiful look and looked at me with great grievance.
I...really lost to her! This woman...there's really nothing I can do about her!
I picked her up and carried her on my shoulders, then turned and went into the bedroom.
"Ah! What are you going to do?"
"Spank!"
“Oh my! You…you really hit me! Ouch…Ouch…it hurts! Ouch…”
"Will you do such stupid things again next time?"
"Ouch... Ouch... I won't dare to do that next time... Ouch... That's enough... I've had enough..."
"You...you devil..."
"Ah... that place... um... Brother Tang Qian... Brother Tang Qian..."
…
The next morning at 10 o'clock, the company held a meeting for mid-level managers and above. At the meeting, Fan Yunting indeed revoked my signature rights. I submitted my resignation on the spot, but Fan Yunting did not accept it, and only said that we would discuss it at a later meeting of the board of directors.
The meeting ended unpleasantly. I returned to the office and my secretary Zhang Lanlan handed me a stack of printed detailed information about Yum! Brands.
I studied it carefully. Yum! Brands was a good beverage raw material company a few years ago, but judging from the performance in recent years, its business situation has been declining. The general manager of the company, Du Sheng, is 42 years old and from W City. He founded the company. In the heyday of Yum! Brands, it had good cooperative relations with many beverage companies across the country. But due to a defective raw material incident, its reputation plummeted and no one dared to buy their goods easily. Without a customer base, Yum! Brands is now struggling to survive and may go bankrupt at any time.
I took the documents and walked into Mr. Fan's office. I saw Fan Yunting stroking her head with both hands, leaning on the desk, looking uncomfortable. I closed the door, walked up to her, threw the documents on her desk, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fan, please tell me the truth, do you have any connection with Yum! Brands?"
Fan Yunting raised her head, glanced at the printed paper on the table, smiled bitterly and said, "Tang Qian, don't ask me anymore. I'm really sorry for embarrassing you today. In a few days , I will make a deep self-examination at the company's board of directors, and then immediately restore your signing rights. Now... can you leave me alone... for a while?"
I said, "I don't care whether I have the right to sign or not. I don't care at all! But I care about the interests of the company. I can't just watch the company suffer losses. Mr. Fan, I beg you to wake up! Or give me an explanation. How can we support you if you keep silent and insist on doing things your own way? How can you expect your employees to work hard for you in the future?"
Fan Yunting suddenly covered her face and started crying, shouting, "Tang Qian, please stop talking. I'm so sad. I'm really sad!"
