Everywhere was connected to the company headquarters,
In the steadily descending staff elevator,
Liu Xiaojiang, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Bao Bao followed Zhao Fangxu all the way out of the conference room. Standing in the elevator, even though they didn't know where to go next, no one spoke to break this silent atmosphere.
Why did Zhao Fangxu leave the three of them behind?
Moreover, it just so happened that the three of them were the closest to each other and didn't want the company to focus on them the most.
Could it be that this most experienced company director had really noticed something?
When Zhang Chulan thought of these things, he couldn't hide his nervousness. He kept glancing at Zhao Fangxu from the corner of his eyes, afraid that he would give himself away if he spoke.
Liu Xiaojiang stood on the left side of Feng Bao Bao, furthest away from Zhao Fangxu, who was on the far right.
He noticed the nervousness on Zhang Chulan's body, so he couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around Feng Bao's shoulder in a seemingly intimate manner. He quietly touched Zhang Chulan, who was standing on the right side of Feng Bao Bao.
"..." Feng Bao Bao glanced at Liu Xiaojiang and didn't mind him putting his arm around her shoulder.
Zhang Chulan felt that someone was poking him with his finger. He immediately turned his head to look at Feng Bao Bao and Liu Xiaojiang beside him.
He saw that Liu Xiaojiang stood there and didn't even look at him. He only used the hand that was holding Feng Bao Bao to poke him. He immediately understood that he might have lost his composure.
However..,
When Zhang Chulan noticed this, before he could adjust his state of mind, Zhao Fangxu suddenly said,
"Chu Lan, does my method of leaving the three of you alone really make you feel so uncomfortable?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Chulan's response, he lowered his head slightly and walked around Zhang Chulan. He looked at Feng Bao Bao and Liu Xiaojiang and said,
"Xiao Jiang, when did your relationship with Bao 'er become so good?"
"Friends …" Although Liu Xiaojiang said that, he still slowly lowered his arm and smiled.
"Chairman Zhao, you're so busy. Why are you looking for us?"
Zhao Fangxu didn't answer the question. Instead, he glanced at Feng Bao Bao and Liu Xiaojiang a few times before turning back to Zhang Chulan.
"Still nervous?"
"You … you're … a boss who knows everything." Zhang Chulan smiled apologetically and said, "I … little reptile … it's normal for me to be nervous, right?"
"Chairman Zhao, Brother Liu is right. You're such a busy company director. Why did you suddenly look for the three of us … Is there something you need?"
As soon as he said this,
The elevator fell into silence again.
Only the sound of the elevator's steady descent continued.
With his height advantage, Liu Xiaojiang could see Zhao Fangxu without having to go around Feng Bao Bao.
He found that Zhao Fangxu's attention seemed to be focused on Feng Bao Bao. He couldn't help but look down at Feng Bao, who was responding to the other party's gaze.
Zhao Fangxu had said in the meeting room that other than Elder Meng, Wang Zhenqiu, and himself, this was the first time he had met the others present. Naturally, this included Feng Bao Bao.
However …
Judging from Zhao Fangxu's current behavior, if it was really the first time he had met Feng Bao Bao, there were too many things worth investigating …
Just as Zhang Chulan and Liu Xiaojiang were in doubt …
"Bao 'er, there's something I didn't ask you on the stool …" Zhao Fangxu suddenly smiled and said,
"You … how old are you?"
Sure enough!
Liu Xiaojiang instantly confirmed his guess. Even though he was curious about what Zhao Fangxu knew, he didn't immediately regard him as a threat based on his attitude and strength.
On the other side, when he heard this …
Zhang Chulan's pupils suddenly shrank. He silently took out his hands from his pockets and stared at Zhao Fangxu's every move. It looked like he would make a move at any time.
Ding!
The elevator arrived at the destination floor, and the closed door opened.
Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhang Chulan's expression and naturally understood what this kid was thinking.
He pointed to the open door of the stairs and smiled as he gestured.
"We're here. Let's go down."
After that, he took the lead and walked out of the elevator. No one knew if he cared about Zhang Chulan's thoughts.
…
After a while …
In a room that looked like an office in the basement of the headquarters …
"When there's nothing to do, I always like to be alone. Everyone knows about the office upstairs. This … is also a place to slack off."
"Very few people in the company know about this place?"
"No, there are also many."
"…"
Zhao Fangxu sat on a simple and comfortable sofa and looked up at the three people opposite him with a smile.
"Zhang Chulan, the regional director's position in the company is indeed not small. However, do you think that without my help, Old Xu would be able to set up a temporary worker?"
"Chairman Zhao, you …" Zhang Chulan naturally understood what he meant, but out of caution, he did not admit anything.
"… Hehe, in the end, you're the successor chosen by that old thing." Zhao Fangxu completely saw through Zhang Chulan's thoughts.
"Ah?" Zhang Chulan looked at Zhao Fangxu with a puzzled expression.
"Forget it." Zhao Fangxu did not care about Zhang Chulan playing dumb with him. He looked up at Feng Bao Bao and Liu Xiaojiang at the side and said,
"Back then …"
He briefly recounted some of the things that happened back then. In the end, when he was excited, he even slammed the table and said,
"Old Xu's reaction when he found out about this matter was very similar to your reaction today. Decades of life-and-death friendship … the old thing actually wanted to seal my mouth at that time!"
"Zhao … Chairman Zhao! I didn't! "Zhang Chulan quickly expressed that he was different from Master Xu back then.
"Humph!" Zhao Fangxu opened his mouth and scolded the deceased Xu Xiang for a while. After that, he did not delve into Zhang Chulan's attitude just now.
Seeing this..,
Zhang Chulan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He turned his head to look at Feng Bao Bao on his right and said,
"Sister Bao 'er, so you've always known Chairman Zhao?"
"Ah … I think we've met a few times …" Feng Bao Bao nodded and then looked at Zhao Fangxu and said,
"Fatty Zhao! You seem to be fatter than before! "
"Who said that!" Zhao Fangxu immediately retorted.
Zhang Chulan: "…"
"Sister Bao 'er, why didn't you tell me that you knew Chairman Zhao?"
"You didn't ask …"
Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhang Chulan and Feng Bao Bao, shook his head, and said, "Actually, even San 'er and Si' er don't know about this."
"Now, Bao 'er's matter is actually because you took over Old Xu's position. That's why I'm telling you this …"
Zhang Chulan nodded to show that he understood. Then, he said, "Chairman Zhao, then you …"
"I was born in a chaotic world and grew up in a peaceful world. I don't think this world will be stable forever. In the future, there might be even more chaos than before."
Zhao Fangxu knew what Zhang Chulan wanted to ask. Without waiting for Zhang Chulan to finish, he said, "But in my lifetime, I don't want to see it in chaos again."
"I've been maintaining order all my life. As a mutant … emotionally, I don't want Bao 'er to have any bad experiences, so I'm willing to help her."
"But as a defender of order, rationally … I'm actually very wary of you, Bao 'er."
At this point, he looked up at Zhang Chulan with extreme caution and said,
"Chu Lan, Old Xu has covered up Bao 'er's matter until today. From now on, it's up to you."
"I'll try my best to help you cover it up, as long as you can. But if you can't cover it up, if Bao 'er becomes an existence that causes chaos … Sorry, my position is definitely not on your side."
