Peaceful Farm Life Chapter 2203 - 2204: Secretly Watching Her (1)

Su Chengyu was momentarily quiet, accustomed as he was to constant bickering with his father, a change was difficult.

An Jing, Su Changyi, and An Baobei, also used to the exchanges between Su Chengyu and Su Haoyu, simply observed without intervening.

Having finished the cake, the group lingered in the living room, chatting for a bit before retiring to their respective rooms for rest.

Regardless of anything else, An Baobei couldn't help but feel the warmth of her home.

...

The following day.

E City.

At precisely ten in the morning, at the Ning Corporation.

Upon concluding the company's regular morning meeting, Ning Zihan retreated to his CEO office. The moment he entered, he slumped onto the sofa in the reception area, murmuring, "Coffee."

Liang Youxu followed Ning Zihan into the office. Hearing the request for coffee, he promptly instructed an assistant to prepare some.

Once a cup of freshly brewed black coffee was served by the assistant, Ning Zihan sat up to take a drink. Seeing that Liang Youxu had not departed, he inquired, "Is there something you need?"

"There is a small matter," Liang Youxu offered a dry chuckle. After the assistant had excused himself, Liang Youxu paused, then began, "President, it's... it's just..."

For a considerable duration, Liang Youxu stammered, struggling to articulate the subject weighing on his mind.

Ning Zihan's expression hardened. "Are you intending to waste my time, or your own?"

Liang Youxu responded instantly, "I simply don't know how to convey it." He paused again. "I fear you might reprimand me."

"Then perhaps you shouldn't say it."

"But I feel I can't keep it in any longer..." Liang Youxu managed an awkward smile. "And I also believe you would wish to know..."

"Liang Youxu, are you seeking a beating, or is your salary simply too generous?" He detested such excessive hesitation!

It was only then that Liang Youxu finally spoke. "President, have you not noticed someone has become an overnight sensation?"

Ning Zihan's voice assumed a colder tone. "You have the time to concern yourself with these celebrities, yet not enough time for overtime?"

"It appears you genuinely are unaware." Liang Youxu realized this. He nodded, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled with a touch of elegance. "Last night, Miss An Baobei commenced a live stream, attracting numerous donations. I've just checked; Miss An's Weibo followers have surged to seven million. She has truly become famous. Ah, she was streaming on XX Live Web. I've jotted down her live stream room details, her live stream nickname, and her Weibo nickname on this piece of paper."

As he elaborated, Liang Youxu retrieved a sheet of paper from a file and presented it to Ning Zihan.

Ning Zihan snatched the paper, crumpled it into a ball, tossed it into the waste bin, and berated him harshly, "You are slacking off instead of working diligently. It seems I'm compensating you excessively. Very well, your pay will be reduced by two percent starting this month!"

"President, please reconsider..." Liang Youxu wailed immediately.

"If you do not wish for further salary deductions, then hurry back to your work! Should you become distracted by such trivialities again, you may as well go home and fend for yourself!"

Liang Youxu felt profoundly wronged and aggrieved.

Their esteemed president had been dedicating himself to overtime work daily of late, not only tormenting himself but also subjecting the company's employees to his stress, frequently venting his frustrations on them. The suffering had even extended to the villa's domestic staff, clearly indicative of his troubled state of mind.

Through thorough discussions with the housekeeper, it had been concluded that their president's unusual behavior was likely connected to An Baobei.

It was common knowledge that An Baobei used to contact their president quite frequently. Being close to him, they were privy to certain details. However, recently, An Baobei had ceased her calls, leading them to this conclusion.

Therefore, when news concerning An Baobei surfaced, he had thought to inform their president. Little did he anticipate that it would lead to such an outcome...
