Chapter 10 - Nangong Duoduo arrives in Jiangcheng.

Watching the Didi drive away,

  Qu Rou said, "Pang Cheng, what you just said is true? Is my brother's salary really that low?"

  Pang Cheng nodded, "Yes, this was decided by Chairman Shen. According to Chairman Shen, the president position

  must be held by a family member. Unlike other companies, we won't hire from outside, so the salary doesn't need to be high.

  Just a token amount is enough, mainly to pay for social insurance and housing fund.

  Otherwise, just giving dividends would suffice."

Qu Rou laughed, "Poor brother, he'd be better off as a rich kid."

  Pang Cheng said, "There's nothing I can do. When Chairman Shen left, he didn't transfer the shares to Young Master Shen!

  So, this kind of hardship is unavoidable."

  Qu Rou said, "Are you going to contact Chairman Shen?"

  Pang Cheng said, "Not only can I not contact him, but even if I did, Chairman Shen wouldn't come back.

  Don't you think Chairman Shen is really facing difficulties for the group?" "Was he driven away by the crisis?"

  Qu Rou said. "Of course not. I know all too well how terrifying Old Chairman Shen's abilities are. These setbacks won't make him leave at all.

  Old Chairman Shen is probably thinking of delegating power and giving Young General Manager Shen more experience."

Pang Cheng shrugged. "So, never mind, let's not talk about this. President Shen has quit. I still have a lot to do this afternoon. Sister Rou, where are you going? I'll take you?"

  Qu Rou said. "I'm going back to the company. From what you're saying, it seems like you have something to do?"

Pang Cheng nodded. "Yeah, I have to pick someone up from the airport and also get a car for our President Shen. We can't really let President Shen drive his Panda every day! President Shen doesn't seem to mind, but I do. After all, I'm President Shen's special assistant, and I also have the responsibility of driving. That thing is really too unsafe to drive."

  Qu Rou smiled. "Then I'll go back to the company first. You go ahead and get busy!"

  Pang Cheng nodded.

The two parted ways, and Qu Rou took a taxi back to the company.

  Pang Cheng went to the underground parking lot to get his car and headed straight for the airport.

  Thinking about the person he was supposed to pick up, Pang Cheng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

  He was now cursing himself for not turning off his phone that morning,

  letting this "auntie" contact him to pick him up.

  Picking up this "auntie" was simply inhuman.

  In the airport parking lot, Pang Cheng leaned against the car door.

  He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

  He looked at the figure walking towards the parking lot.

  A pink dress, carrying a yellow suitcase with a duck pattern on it. Her

  hair was tied in pigtails, and she hopped as she walked.

  A bright smile graced her face, revealing two small tiger teeth.

  Her sweet and energetic appearance attracted almost everyone's attention.

  These gazes revealed a natural goodwill.

After all, cute people are indeed more likely to gain favor.

  But in Pang Cheng's eyes, there was only wariness.

  He knew this person too well, Nangong Duoduo. She had an excellent reputation throughout the Beijing circle.

  Everyone who talked about the Nangong family's daughter gave her a thumbs up.

After all, this girl was just too well-behaved.

  Good grades, good personality, good temper.

  Her soft, sweet demeanor had captured the hearts of countless wealthy women in Beijing's elite circles.

  However, only a select few, including Pang Cheng, knew the true nature of this "witch."

  Pang Cheng would never forget that day five years ago.

  Her twisted possessiveness towards Shen Qingxi.

She hated everyone close to Shen Qingxi—note, regardless of gender.

  If Pang Cheng hadn't sensed something was wrong beforehand and made preparations, he might have truly had Nangong Duoduo skinned alive that day.

  Literally skinned alive, even the scalpel seemed to have escaped its grasp.

  Nangong Duoduo approached Pang Cheng, a smile on her face: "Long time no see, Brother Pang Cheng."

Pang Cheng instinctively shuddered.

  "I can't bear the title 'Miss Nangong,'"

  Nangong Duoduo laughed. "You can, after all, you're Brother Qingxi's good brother.

  And the one who's been by his side the longest, it's truly enviable."

  Pang Cheng's body stiffened abruptly.

  In Nangong Duoduo's eyes, he saw a deep-seated chill.

  This made Pang Cheng feel icy cold all over.

  Pang Cheng quickly said, "Miss Nangong, please don't do anything rash. This is Jiangcheng!

  Qingxi's reputation for obeying the law is known throughout Jiangcheng.

  People in Beijing should know that too."

  Nangong Duoduo shrugged, "I know, why did you suddenly bring this up, Brother Pang? Duoduo is also very law-abiding.

  Okay, can you help me with my luggage? It's quite heavy!"

Nangong Duoduo directly opened the car door and got in.

  Pang Cheng was not angry at Nangong Duoduo's rudeness; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief because he saw that Nangong Duoduo had calmed down.

  Pang Cheng put the suitcase in the trunk.

Then, he got back into the car.

  "Miss Nangong, where are you going?"

  Nangong Duoduo said, "Of course, I'm going to see Brother Qingxi."

  Pang Cheng said, "Qingxi didn't sleep well last night, and he's already home catching up on sleep!

  Besides, I think that Miss Nangong's sudden visit might startle Qingxi."

  Pang Cheng had barely finished speaking when he felt a cold touch on his neck.

  Looking down, he saw a scalpel pressed against his neck.

  Pang Cheng was stunned.

What? How did he manage to bring a scalpel on the plane?

  Just as Qingxi said, this world is truly insane.

  Nangong Duoduo's cold voice came: "Didn't sleep well? Why?"

  Pang Cheng swallowed hard: "I had a meeting yesterday, and there were so many things that needed to be decided!

  President Shen just took over the company, so many things need to be approved.

  I worked late last night."

  After Pang Cheng finished speaking, he felt the cold touch on his neck loosen a little.

Nangong Duoduo said, "Speaking of which, Brother Pang Cheng, Duoduo has a question.

  Besides me, has anyone else come to Jiangcheng?"

  Pang Cheng said, "As far as I know, no one else has.

  Of course, some families have connections everywhere, so maybe they can hide it from me."

  Nangong Duoduo said, "Is that so? Then it seems you're not as useful as I thought!"

  Pang Cheng laughed, "I'm just a special assistant to President Shen, naturally not as good as Miss Nangong."

  Nangong Duoduo said, "Then how about Brother Pang Cheng tells me about Brother Qingxi in the future?"

Nangong Duoduo's scalpel lightly grazed Pang Cheng's throat.

  This was a threat.

  However, upon hearing this, Pang Cheng's face instantly turned cold.

  The next moment, Pang Cheng's right hand quickly rose, grabbed Nangong Duoduo's wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

  Nangong Duoduo's scalpel immediately fell away.

  But in an instant, the scalpel was already against Nangong Duoduo's neck.

  "Miss Nangong, you've crossed the line."
