"Does it look good?"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao'e's face came close to Chen Fang's.
It startled Chen Fang.
"Cough cough... uh... that... Miss Ye, I... I didn't do it on purpose."
Being caught staring was quite embarrassing for Chen Fang, and he couldn't hold back a cough.
"I'm asking you if it looks good."
As she spoke, Ye Xiao'e's face came closer and closer until their noses were nearly touching.
At this moment, she was leaning forward.
Chen Fang's T-shirt had a very wide neckline.
At such a close distance.
Chen Fang's gaze naturally penetrated through the neckline, where two wobbly rabbits were almost leaping into view.
"It looks good."
Chen Fang nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao'e smiled and seemed quite proud.
She asked, "Do you want to see it even clearer?"
"Cough cough cough..."
These words startled Chen Fang again.
They made eye contact, and their breaths were like orchids.
The air was thick with an imminent ambiguity that seemed unstoppable, and whatever was to come next, nobody could control.
Just then.
The phone rang.
Chen Fang quickly stood up, grabbed his phone, and saw that it was Gao Younan calling.
"Ah Nan, what's up?"
Chen Fang asked.
"Ah Fang, where are you?"
"I'm at home."
"Do you have time to come over to Tianyuan Mechanical Factory? Tan Xiao is in trouble."
Upon hearing this.
Chen Fang didn't think twice and said, "I'll change clothes and be right out. I'll call you in a bit."
After speaking.
He hung up the phone and looked apologetically at Ye Xiao'e.
Ye Xiao'e said, "You go ahead with your business. I didn't sleep well on my night shift last night. I'll just nap on your couch, and once my clothes are dry, I'll leave on my own, no objections, right?"
"Of course no objections, it's just..."
Ye Xiao'e saw the apology in his eyes.
She said, "It's fine, your important matters come first."
Putting aside any pretense.
Chen Fang quickly called Yu Zhengchuan to pick him up, then swiftly changed clothes and hurried out the door.
Reaching downstairs, after waiting only a few minutes, Yu Zhengchuan's car arrived.
On the way to Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, Chen Fang called Gao Younan again to ask for details.
After Tan Xiao returned to the country, she was placed in Tianyuan Mechanical Factory by Feng Wenyu. Her position was that of a company representative.
This position normally didn't exist, and its creation was meant to prevent Tan Xiao from gaining any actual power.
For the past few days, Tan Xiao hadn't even entered the factory, and today was her first attempt.
Unexpectedly, as a company representative, she was actually stopped by the security guards of the branch factory.
An argument ensued.
When Gao Younan called Chen Fang, Tan Xiao was still being blocked at the factory entrance, unable to enter.
When Chen Fang's car was about twenty meters from Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, he told Yu Zhengchuan to stop the car early, and as the two approached the main gate on foot, they saw a business car being stopped at the iron gate.
Next to the car stood a rather tall woman, arguing about something with a security guard.
At this moment.
Gao Younan slipped out from the corner.
Pointing to the tall woman, he said to Chen Fang, "That's Tan Xiao."
The Tan Xiao in front of them was about one meter sixty-eight tall, neither high nor low.
She was wearing a tight leather jacket, and it was clear that she had a very slender waist, described as "enough to hold" without any exaggeration.
On the lower body, she wore a pair of tight-fitting skinny jeans that hugged her shapely buttocks and long, firm legs.
Just this silhouette alone was quite tempting.
It was somewhat amazing that Tan Yandong, the rough man, could produce such a graceful daughter.
"Shall we go over?"
Gao Younan asked.
Chen Fang waved his hand and sat down at a fruit stand across the street, saying, "You go buy some fruits. Let's just observe for now."
It didn't take long.
A pound of tangerines was brought over.
The three of them began to eat with relish, indistinguishable from the onlookers by the roadside.
"Look carefully, this is the appointment letter issued by the group. I am the representative of the group, and I was ordered to come to the factory for inspection."
Tan Xiao couldn't argue her way out of it.
She took a red-lettered document from the group out of the car and slapped it on the chest of the security guard in front of her.
The security guard was a young man.
There was a scar at the corner of his eyebrow, a clear sign that he was not someone to be trifled with.
He glanced at the document.
Then, with a ripping sound, he tore it in half and said with a sly smile, "I'm sorry, I can't read."
"You... You actually tore up the group's document? You have some... some nerve."
By this point, Tan Xiao was so furious she was practically steaming, pointing at the security guard and yelling at the top of her lungs.
On the contrary, it was the security guard who calmly said, "Beauty, haven't I told you time and time again, only people and vehicles specifically approved by the leadership can go in."
"Get your leader out here for me!"
Tan Xiao bellowed.
The security guard sneered and said, "Who are you to demand our leader to come out just because you say so?"
After a heated argument,
Tan Xiao was out of options.
Except for pacing back and forth, she couldn't think of any other way.
Of course, there was another option; she could call the group or call her grandfather.
But using this method would likely lead to her aunt criticizing her for being incapable, for not even being able to enter the gate of her own factory. What ability would she have to take over the group then?
Chen Fang threw away his orange peel.
He said, "Let's go, it's our turn to step in."
Chen Fang led the way.
With Gao Younan and Yu Zhengchuan following.
The three of them walked toward the gate.
Seeing that they were not far from Tan Xiao.
Chen Fang deliberately quickened his pace and came up to Tan Xiao.
It was only then that Chen Fang got a clear view of Tan Xiao's face.
At first glance, Chen Fang's eyes widened.
A line of poetry popped into his head: "A beauty's charm eclipses both past and present, the lotus bloom pales beside her grace."
He mentally exclaimed "Wow" three times.
Before they met, Chen Fang had imagined her appearance to resemble that of Tan Yandong, but upon meeting her, he found that Tan Xiao combined all the best features of both Tan Yandong and Feng Wenya. This face, not to say that it would topple cities and kingdoms, but amongst all the women he knew, probably only Zhong Xiqian could rival her beauty.
Her face was like peach blossoms, skin smooth as creamy jade.
Maybe it was the rush, but her face was tinged with a blush, which only added a hint of both shyness and charm.
"Who... who are you?"
Tan Xiao instinctively stepped back, asking warily.
Without a hint of agitation, Chen Fang said softly, "Ding Yuan sent me."
"Uncle Ding sent you?"
Hearing this, the tension on Tan Xiao's face instantly eased.
After all, before she returned, Feng Wenya had told her that, should she encounter any difficulties, she could turn to Ding Yuan for help, and he would definitely assist her.
It was just that she was too proud.
Always wanting to solve problems on her own.
She didn't expect to be stumped at the very first hurdle.
"Miss Tan, why don't you go back and sit in the van? Leave the rest to us, we can help you sort this out, okay?"
"You're going to solve it?"
Tan Xiao asked in surprise.
Chen Fang gave a slight smile and said, "Miss Tan, rest assured, you are the group's representative, it's beneath you to argue with a security guard. From now on, consider me your assistant. I will handle this for you. Don't worry, it won't be long before the factory's leadership comes out to find you personally."
Tan Xiao was skeptical about what Chen Fang had said.
But she didn't have a better plan at the moment.
So she nodded her head, willing to give it a try.
Tan Xiao returned to the van.
Chen Fang, leading Gao Younan and Yu Zhengchuan, approached the security guard once again.
It was still that young security guard.
He had, of course, seen the exchange between Chen Fang's group and Tan Xiao.
And watched as they approached.
Raising his eyebrows, he said, "I think I made myself quite clear earlier, without the leader's special approval, no unrelated persons are allowed to enter."
Chen Fang said nothing.
He crouched down.
And picked up the torn red-lettered document from in front of him.
He asked, "You can't read?"
