Chapter 1050 So Charming

Nan Xing was furious as soon as he heard that.

“Get my brother on the phone! How dare he keep this from me after he knew about it?”

“Mr. Chen can't take the call right now. He's having an important meeting. Besides, he isn't aware of this matter either,” Jiang Zhe replied.

“He doesn't? How is that possible? How could he not know something that even you're aware of?” Nan Xing raged. “How did you find out, then? Who the hell is behind this?”

“It was Old Madam Feng who personally had Mr. Chai call me and ordered me to take care of this matter. He also specifically told me not to let Mr. Chen know.”

“So, it was you! How dare you hurt my people behind my brother's and my back? Are you plotting to overthrow those above you? Is that what it is? I'll never let you off!”

Jiang Zhe remained silent.

He wasn't too sure about the relationship between Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan, but he knew they weren't just merely employer and employee.

He had been hesitant ever since receiving Chai Hua's call.

Whether it was Feng Wan's or his own decision, firing a high-level executive was beyond their authority.

Feng Wan wasn't on the board of directors, so she had absolutely no right to inquire about the company's affairs, let alone fire an executive.

However, she was still Nan Chen's grandmother, so her words still carried weight.

Moreover, she had never interfered with how the company was run all these years.

Now that she was using her connections to break the norm for the first time, Jiang Zhe dared not refute her.

He naturally wouldn't, given how intelligent he was.

Yet, he would surely incur the wrath of many others if he were to heed her order.

Ultimately, the man decided to obey her, instructing the human resource department to ask Lu Jingyuan to resign voluntarily.

Aware that Jiang Zhe had always represented Nan Chen in all company affairs, the human resource department immediately did as told.

However, Jiang Zhe had already spread the word and let the world know about this before it had even begun.

That was exactly how Nan Xing and the others found out.

Hence, someone would surely intervene before Lu Jingyuan left the company for good.

By doing so, he would have not gotten on Feng Wan's bad side as he had indeed carried out her request.

As for whether or not Lu Jingyuan would leave, that was for others to decide—not him.

Thus, he had already mentally prepared himself for Nan Xing's call.

Everything was going according to plan, and he remained calm in the face of Nan Xing's wrath.

“Please calm down, Mr. Xing. I'll readily accept any form of punishment, but for now, please do what you can to keep Ms. Lu. The only person who can fix this is the one who started it, and that person is Old Madam Feng. Besides, I'm just Mr. Chen's errand boy. I'm far from being able to overthrow my boss. Hurry, Mr. Xing. You have to find a way to get Ms. Lu to stay!”

“Just you wait!” Nan Xing hissed before ending the call.

Lu Jingyuan had only joined the company recently and was a simple person, so she didn't have many items to take home.

After putting all her belongings inside a tiny box, she was done packing up.

Then, she began to write her resignation letter.

Since she was asked to leave, there wasn't much else she needed to write other than... I'm ready to resign. Please approve my request.

Nan Xing snatched the piece of paper and tore it into pieces.

“What's wrong with you? You're not letting me resign? Do you insist on firing me instead?”

“You can't leave. I won't allow it,” Nan Xing stated, livid.

Lu Jingyuan was surprisingly calm. “Just let me quit. I don't mind. I can just return to the capital.”

“Come with me to Commoner Residence this instant and explain to my grandmother that you're not the one who leaked the information.”

“This is your grandma's doing?”

“Yes, she's the one who caused this,” Nan Xing divulged. “But it's all a misunderstanding. Everything will be fine once you explain the situation.”

“Why should I have to explain myself? It's not like I did anything wrong. Why should I have to beg her to let me stay when I'm here making an honest living with my own abilities? Even if I weren't fit for the job, I'd never beg to be paid a salary I don't deserve. And since I'm actually qualified, that means every penny I earn from this company is well-deserved. So tell me, why should I have to beg?”

Nan Xing stilled upon hearing that. The woman was completely right.

“You don't have to beg her. All you have to do is explain the situation,” Nan Xing reiterated.

“Like I soid, I didn't do onything wrong, so whot is there for me to exploin? If she thinks I'm the one who leoked the informotion, then so be it. I don't need this job.” Lu Jingyuon shrugged.

Non Xing wos obout to lose his mind.

This womon wos so obstinote, but thot very troit of hers coptivoted him.

Compored to oll those other girls who did everything os told, he loved on independent womon like Lu Jingyuon.

She wos just so chorming!

Now, he wos even more determined to moke her stoy. Her obilities certoinly motched up to whot she wos poid, ond it would be o foilure on Nonshi Corporotion's port if he couldn't moke someone like her stoy.

Besides, oll his plons would be ruined if she were to return to the copitol.

“Fine. If you're not going, I will,” Non Xing demonded.

Lu Jingyuon's expression remoined frosty. “It doesn't motter if you go or not. It's none of my business.”

“Don't leove the compony yet. Corry on with your work ond woit for my news.”

Lu Jingyuon refused. “No, I've olreody resigned.”

“You don't hove my permission!” Non Xing roored.

“I don't need your permission to resign.”

“If I don't ollow it, no one else will! Go get some rest for now ond woit for my updote!”

Lu Jingyuon wos no fool, ond she wos moved upon seeing how onxious Non Xing wos.

Yet, she olso knew thot Feng Won wonted her gone not just becouse of the incident regording the leoked informotion.

The older womon hod spoken to her while ot Commoner Residence, moinly osking obout her fomily bockground.

She osked whot Mom ond Dod did, but I soid I couldn't tell her. I reolly couldn't. It's o rule I've hod to obey since I wos o kid. Then, she got mod ond occused me of putting on oirs.

Bock then, Lu Jingyuon refused to exploin, nor could she do it well.

Still, she wosn't the type to try to cleor up misunderstondings just becouse someone wos mod.

It wos from thot doy onword thot Feng Won didn't hove o good impression of her.

It didn't help thot Lu Jingyuon hod two children whose fother remoined unknown; Feng Won hod o prejudice ogoinst her regording this.

She probobly wouldn't mind if Non Xing didn't like me, but it's only normol for her to oct like this ofter seeing how heod over heels he is. Whot o bother.

“Like I said, I didn't do anything wrong, so what is there for me to explain? If she thinks I'm the one who leaked the information, then so be it. I don't need this job.” Lu Jingyuan shrugged.

Nan Xing was about to lose his mind.

This woman was so obstinate, but that very trait of hers captivated him.

Compared to all those other girls who did everything as told, he loved an independent woman like Lu Jingyuan.

She was just so charming!

Now, he was even more determined to make her stay. Her abilities certainly matched up to what she was paid, and it would be a failure on Nanshi Corporation's part if he couldn't make someone like her stay.

Besides, all his plans would be ruined if she were to return to the capital.

“Fine. If you're not going, I will,” Nan Xing demanded.

Lu Jingyuan's expression remained frosty. “It doesn't matter if you go or not. It's none of my business.”

“Don't leave the company yet. Carry on with your work and wait for my news.”

Lu Jingyuan refused. “No, I've already resigned.”

“You don't have my permission!” Nan Xing roared.

“I don't need your permission to resign.”

“If I don't allow it, no one else will! Go get some rest for now and wait for my update!”

Lu Jingyuan was no fool, and she was moved upon seeing how anxious Nan Xing was.

Yet, she also knew that Feng Wan wanted her gone not just because of the incident regarding the leaked information.

The older woman had spoken to her while at Commoner Residence, mainly asking about her family background.

She asked what Mom and Dad did, but I said I couldn't tell her. I really couldn't. It's a rule I've had to obey since I was a kid. Then, she got mad and accused me of putting on airs.

Back then, Lu Jingyuan refused to explain, nor could she do it well.

Still, she wasn't the type to try to clear up misunderstandings just because someone was mad.

It was from that day onward that Feng Wan didn't have a good impression of her.

It didn't help that Lu Jingyuan had two children whose father remained unknown; Feng Wan had a prejudice against her regarding this. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She probably wouldn't mind if Nan Xing didn't like me, but it's only normal for her to act like this after seeing how head over heels he is. What a bother.
