Wan Yunting spent the entire afternoon at the company. Lin Xiaoqi and the vice president occasionally brought him documents to review and sign, and he held meetings to handle major investment projects. Time passed quickly, and he was so busy that Wan Yunting even forgot the pressures in his heart.
But standing on the balcony of the office, ninety-nine floors high, overlooking the entire capital city’s skyscrapers, Wan Yunting’s heart was not here.
When he returned home that evening, he saw his grandfather Ouyang Shenhe and Fan Liren chatting over tea in the reception hall. Seeing Wan Yunting enter, they smiled and greeted him, "Xiao Wan is back…"
"Elder Fan, you're here. It's been a long time." wap.kanshuwu.net
Wan Yunting quickly walked over to Fan Liren and greeted him respectfully with cupped fists.
"Yes, I heard you were back, so I came to see you."
Fan Liren was still dressed and carried himself in his usual casual manner, with a warm and friendly smile.
Wan Yunting said with shame, "I should be the one visiting you."
Fan Liren laughed and waved his hand. He was generally aware of what had happened to Wan Yunting during this period, so he didn't say much.
At the dinner table, Wan Yunting accompanied his grandfather and Elder Fan for drinks, discussing topics about the literary circles. Wan Yunting suddenly said, "By the way, Elder Fan, I'd like to inquire about two people. They should be from the literary circle!"
"Oh, who are they?"
Fan Liren was surprised that Wan Yunting would inquire about people from the literary circle.
"One is named Cao Yun, and the other is Chen Wenxuan!" Wan Yunting said.
Fan Liren thought for a moment, then nodded, "They sound a bit familiar. Yes, I remember. That Cao Yun has good literary skills. I think I met him once at an event last year. Well, Xiao Wan, why are you asking about them?"
"Wait, Elder Fan…"
As he spoke, Wan Yunting got up and ran back to his courtyard, which confused everyone present. But he soon returned, holding two textbooks. These were the problematic textbooks with faulty illustrations and content that Wan Yunting had discovered when he accompanied Gu Luotang and the others to school. "Elder Fan, what do you think of these illustrations?"
Fan Liren looked at Wan Yunting with a confused expression. He took the textbook and looked at the illustrations of children, which immediately made Fan Liren frown and his heart skip a beat. Then Wan Yunting turned to a section in the Chinese textbook: "Elder Fan, please take a look at this content…"
Fan Liren's expression had already turned grim. He continued reading the Chinese textbook, and the more he read, the more shocked he became…
"The depiction of the children in these illustrations is not good!"
Ouyang Shenhe also saw the illustrations in the textbook. His first impression was that it was very uncomfortable.
Ouyang Zhixin and Xia Xiangyun, and then Fang Yanxi, who was heavily pregnant, and her sister Fan Meng, also found the characters in the illustrations strange. Wan Yunting said, "These illustrations look like patients with Down syndrome; the visual impression is very bad."
"Yes, that's exactly the feeling," Ouyang Zhixin nodded.
*Bang!*
In the next second, Fan Liren slammed the textbook onto the table heavily, roaring, "Absurd, too absurd! This is simply cultural invasion…"
Ouyang Shenhe, Ouyang Zhixin, and Xia Xiangyun sitting beside him, and Fang Yanxi with her bulging belly were startled by Elder Fan's sudden outburst. He was agitated, picked up the textbook again, and saw the names of the chief editors at the back, precisely Cao Yun and Chen Wenxuan whom Wan Yunting had mentioned!
Fan Liren angrily threw the textbook, "Hateful, truly hateful! They have infiltrated from within, and we didn't discover it. This is truly shameful."
Wan Yunting's expression was grave, and he said, "Elder Fan, it's not that no one discovered it, but that some people found out and reported it, only to have it suppressed by certain individuals!"
Fan Liren was shocked by this statement, his old eyes widening, and he roared, "Those scoundrels should be dealt with properly."
"Xiao Wan, Lao He, I'll take my leave now."
Fan Liren was emotionally charged and knew the seriousness of the matter. He had no mood to continue drinking, so he stood up, cupped his fists to Ouyang Shenhe, and turned to leave.
Wan Yunting quickly got up to see Fan Liren out. As for this poisonous textbook matter, with this literary titan personally handling it, he believed it would be resolved soon.
After dinner, Wan Yunting returned to the courtyard and helped Fang Yanxi sit on a chair in the courtyard. She smiled and said, "I heard from Xiao Qi that you performed very well at the company today."
"Of course."
Wan Yunting took the fruit plate from a servant and sat beside Fang Yanxi, feeding her while saying proudly, "Who am I? Handling those company matters is a piece of cake!"
Fang Yanxi glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Look at you getting all smug. Then I'll hand over all the company matters to you from now on."
"That won't do."
Wan Yunting shook his head and looked at Fang Yanxi with a wry smile, saying, "Although the first day was novel, if I really had to work in an office every day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit still."
Fang Yanxi looked at his helpless gaze and said, "So, you still plan to practice medicine?"
Wan Yunting fed her a piece of fruit and nodded with a smile, "Besides this, I'm afraid I'd have a hard time doing anything else. Moreover, there are serious problems within the Chinese Medicine Association now. If I truly let it go unchecked, the Chinese Medicine Association will regress again, and progress will be impossible."
Fang Yanxi didn't know much about the Chinese Medicine Association and said, "But you're not the chairman anymore."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "So, we'll take it one step at a time. Wenhao will be back tomorrow."
"I know."
Fang Yanxi nodded and said, "There's a very important business exchange gala tomorrow evening. Celebrities from the financial world across the country, and even the world, will attend. I originally wanted to attend, but it's inconvenient now, so you go."
Wan Yunting put on a wronged expression, "Can I not go?"
Fang Yanxi glared at him and snorted, "You must go. Who told you to volunteer and say you'd manage the company for me."
Wan Yunting couldn't help but smile wryly, feeding her fruit, and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go, alright…"
The next day, Wan Yunting drove to the company as usual and entered the underground parking lot. After parking his car, he walked towards the elevator. Suddenly, he heard the rhythmic sound of high heels. Wan Yunting turned his head and saw Tang Yunwei, wearing a white shirt and a light blue slim-fitting pencil skirt, with her coffee-colored hair elegantly cascading down.
This outfit not only accentuated her slender figure but also showcased her mature and elegant temperament.
"President Wan, what a coincidence, we meet again," Tang Yunwei walked over quickly, greeting him with a charming smile.
"Good morning, President Tang."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, and they entered the elevator together. One pressed for the eighty-fifth floor, and the other for the ninety-ninth floor.
As the elevator ascended, in the small space, if they didn't speak, it would be very awkward. Fortunately, Tang Yunwei initiated the conversation: "President Wan, I'm very curious, have you not worked at the company since then?"
Wan Yunting turned to look at her, shrugged, and smiled, "As you saw yesterday, I guess it was my first day working."
Tang Yunwei covered her mouth and chuckled. As she turned, her sparkling peach blossom eyes gazed at Wan Yunting, and she said, "We've all heard how you and President Jiang, step by step, established Chaoting Group. Honestly, you're like a divine figure in our company!"
Wan Yunting smiled and waved his hand, "Don't portray me as too divine. The company's establishment is all thanks to President Jiang, and I was just giving him some ideas back then."
Tang Yunwei smiled and said, "President Wan, you're truly humble. President Jiang told us that if you hadn't led him into the financial industry back then, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today, so the credit goes to you."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled. At this moment, the elevator reached the eighty-fifth floor. Tang Yunwei waved and smiled, "President Wan, I'll get off here then. See you later."
Wan Yunting nodded, watched Tang Yunwei leave, and continued to ascend. Upon reaching the ninety-ninth floor, Lin Xiaoqi greeted him as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, handing him documents and walking towards his office.
In the afternoon, Jiang Wenhao appeared with his secretary, Lucy. He knocked and entered, seeing Wan Yunting sitting in his office chair, engrossed in writing something. He shouted excitedly, "Teacher, you have days like this too."
Wan Yunting looked up and gave him a glare. Lucy, beside Jiang Wenhao, greeted him respectfully in English, "President Wan."
Wan Yunting nodded and asked Jiang Wenhao, "How long will you be staying in the country this time?"
Jiang Wenhao took out a cigarette and offered him one before pulling up a chair and sitting down, smiling, "Probably for a month. Things are stable abroad now."
"That's good."
Wan Yunting took the cigarette, stood up, and sat on the sofa in the reception area, lighting it and smoking. He smiled and said, "It's best if you stay in the country to manage the company."
Jiang Wenhao's expression froze, and he slid his chair over, "Isn't it, Teacher, that you're now taking over Madam's position and managing domestic affairs?"
Wan Yunting exhaled smoke, waved his hand, and smiled, "I've only been working for two days, and I'm already impatient."
"Understood."
Jiang Wenhao smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, Teacher, you just don't want to go to work."
"You know nothing."
Wan Yunting turned and gave him a speechless glare. Looking at Lucy sitting beside him, he couldn't help but tease, "When are you and Lucy getting married?"
Jiang Wenhao turned to look at Lucy and then back at Wan Yunting, smiling, "Teacher, you should first think about how to marry those madams!"
Mentioning this matter made Wan Yunting's head ache, and even the taste of his cigarette seemed off.
Jiang Wenhao smiled and said, "Why don't you go abroad and get the marriage certificate?"
"What kind of international joke is that."
Wan Yunting gave him a speechless glare and waved his hand again, "We can only take it one step at a time. There will be a way in the future."
"Got it."
Jiang Wenhao stood up and smiled, "Then Lucy and I will head back. We'll attend the gala together tonight. You're the star of that gala tonight!"
Wan Yunting's expression froze, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Wenhao chuckled and said, "Because this gala is hosted by me, and I've announced your attendance to the public, so people in the industry are all looking forward to your appearance."
Wan Yunting's expression was stunned. He picked up a pen from the table and threw it at Jiang Wenhao, "You brat, always getting me into this useless stuff…"
"Hehe, I'll send a car to pick you up later, alright."
Jiang Wenhao dodged the flying pen and left with Lucy.
Wan Yunting shook his head helplessly. Just then, his phone rang. It was an unknown number, but he knew who it was. He answered and asked, "Hello, General Manager Xia, how is the matter progressing?"
At this moment, Xia Shu in Xidu was dressed in professional attire, sitting upright in her office chair, and said, "Young Master Wan, the matter has been handled."
"Good, thank you," Wan Yunting smiled.
"It's nothing. I'll hang up then."
Afterward, they both hung up the phone.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Huashan Sect, all the elders and managers of the sect were gathered. Shi Yizhen, sitting in the main seat, wore a magnificent robe but had a gloomy expression.
Everyone in the hall also lowered their heads, not saying a word, and the atmosphere was as silent as ever.
*Bang!*
Finally, Shi Yizhen slammed his palm onto the table beside him, cracking it. His face was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth, roaring, "Wan Yunting, my Huashan Sect is irreconcilable with you…!"
Previously, the Huashan Sect had dispatched two powerful individuals to block Wan Yunting at Wuliang Mountain, intending to snatch the Snow Mountain Sect martial arts manual he possessed. Not only did they fail, but Wan Yunting also injured those two Huashan Sect seniors.
Those two seniors, who returned to the sect, were bedridden due to severe injuries, causing Shi Yizhen to lose two powerful individuals.
But what Shi Yizhen didn't expect was that Wan Yunting would have his father, the person in charge of the company in Xidu, Xia Shu, acquire all the tourism industries under the Huashan Sect, directly cutting off the Huashan Sect's financial lifeline!
This enraged Shi Yizhen to the point of fury. He never expected Wan Yunting to be so ruthless, considering that the entire Huashan Sect relied on the tourism industries at the foot of the mountain for support.
Now, Wan Yunting's move to cut off their financial resources was equivalent to severing the roots of the Huashan Sect's finances, leaving them with no way to survive.
But who could he blame? It was Shi Yizhen who had made the first move against Wan Yunting. He just didn't expect the retaliation to be so swift.
