"Won't you stay here for the night?" The old man said in a low voice. There weren't many times when the ancient city came to the old mansion, and they all stayed there for a very short time.

"No, I still have to work tomorrow morning. This place is far away from the company." The ancient city said as they walked towards Ning Anlan.

On the way back, Ning Anlan said nothing, his face expressionless.

Just now, when he almost had a conflict with Gu Xian'er, she intentionally saw the ancient city's reaction, while he just calmly stood to the side and watched.

In just an instant, Ning Anlan was relieved.

To put it bluntly, she didn't have much to do with Ancient City. At most, they could be considered as taking advantage of each other, so they had no obligation to offend their cousin and help her, an outsider.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. The ancient city indifferently glanced at Ning Anlan, but didn't say anything.

He originally thought that Ning Anlan and Gu Xian'er would get angry, but this woman had endured it all and didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.

She was a clever person, far more intelligent than the ancient city had expected.

When Ning Anlan returned home, she changed her clothes. She didn't feel comfortable wearing someone else's clothes.

With a mask on his face and his body soaked in the bathtub, Ning Anlan finally felt better.

Tomorrow morning, there will be a meeting at the company. I wonder if those old foxes will jump out and give her a blow. Ning Anlan rubbed his glabella. I have to sleep early tonight to recover.

This sleep was a bit unexpected.

By the time Ning Anlan realized that his alarm had not rung, it was already too late.

In the company, the high and middle management had all arrived early in the morning. With Liu Changqing's incident, everyone had a new understanding of Ning Anlan. No one dared to be late and touch this young miss' bad luck.

"The daughter of the chairman is really different. A new official can make a big fuss over nothing. She fired the marketing manager the moment she arrived at the company. She's really swift and decisive."

While Ning Anlan wasn't around, a group of people gathered around the door of the meeting room and started chatting.

"Who asked him to be the big miss!" Another person chimed in, "This is called 'Genzheng Miao Hong', we can't compare to it!"

Ning Anlan acted as the supervisor of the meeting after his ruckus. Many of the higher-ups were cautious, and the number of staff working under the stage increased as well.

Most of them felt that they were in danger, afraid that the lady's anger would bring doom upon them.

"She's just a young miss with a chest but no brains! "I've heard that this chairman of the board, Qian Jin, was previously working on music and came to help us manage our businesses. Isn't this nonsense!?"

One of the middle ranks sneered, expressing his dissatisfaction with Ning Anlan.

This man and Liu Changqing were from the same company, and it took them a lot of effort to reach their current position. But because Ning Anlan was born of a good family, he could openly ride on their heads.

Thus, comparing people to each other, it was extremely infuriating.

"Where's Old Mao? Why isn't he here today?"

No one knew who brought it up, but everyone noticed that Old Mao, who had always been diligently and diligently, actually didn't come.

"Old Mao asked for a leave of absence. I heard that he fell sick due to having worked overtime recently." Someone behind him added in a low voice.

These words were like a bomb that exploded the moment it was said. This was not a small matter. A listed company actually being exhausted and suffering from illness was a big news. If it was exposed, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Is that so? "But how come I heard that …"

"Shh!"

Someone on the side wanted to say something, but Ning Anlan just happened to arrive at that moment. Everyone immediately quieted down and looked towards the exit of the corridor.

As soon as Ning Anlan stepped out of the elevator, he felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. Seeing everyone gathered together in silence, he felt even more baffled.

"Is anything the matter?"

"Nothing, nothing …"

"Then let's have a meeting." Ning Anlan walked into the meeting room.

At the elevator, there were two people standing at the corner of the corridor. Hearing that everyone in the corridor had entered the meeting room, they finally spoke in a low voice.

"Old Mao fell sick at work because he was tired from work. We have a chance now."

"This way... "Isn't that good?"

"What's so good about it? Did your head get pinched by the door?"

One was well-dressed, while the other was shifty-eyed. It was unknown what he was plotting. The shifty-eyed man, who had been instigating Jiang Chen all this time, looked like he was deep in thought with his brows tightly knitted together.

The next day.

Ning Anlan was woken up by Chang's phone call. If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't call her. Ning Anlan's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the matter of Old Hairy had been leaked and spread like wildfire.

Ning's pressure on employees caused them to be tired and hospitalized, and even caused them to carelessly dismiss senior executives who had rendered meritorious services. The company was in a state of panic.

Ning Anlan was able to guess what kind of scolding she had received on the internet just by looking at the newspapers.

In the news this morning, there were calls from the media for them to give their employees an explanation and call for the masses to boycott this black-hearted enterprise.

Ning Anlan was a little confused. She didn't think that the intensity of the work was that high. It was just that Hu Yan's management was lax in the past and everyone was already used to it.

Moreover, Ning Anlan's own work was more intense than anyone else's, so she didn't feel like she was trying to squeeze out the employees.

This time, someone fell ill, and the reason was exposed before she could find out. It was because she was too careless and did not consider the details.

While he was still in a daze, Ning Bo also called.

"Hello, Dad." Ning Anlan's tone was calm, not the least bit flustered, as if he hadn't been affected by the news.

"I already know the situation. Do you have any way of dealing with it?" Ning Bo's voice was heavy, and Ning Anlan knew that the company's higher-ups must have called him to report this.

She was already prepared to be scolded by Ning Bo, but she didn't expect him to calmly ask her what she could do about it.

"There must be someone behind all this. As long as we find the culprit behind all of this and explain everything clearly, the problem will be solved."

This matter couldn't be spread out overnight for no reason at all. There had to be someone secretly plotting against him.

"It's good that you understand. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible." Ning Bo sounded as if he was relieved. "Since you already have a plan, I won't interfere. I believe you can handle it."

When he received the call early in the morning, Ning Bo also panicked for a while. However, considering the company was going to be in Ning Anlan's hands sooner or later, he decided to first find out what his daughter planned to do.

Ning Anlan did not panic as he listened on the phone. He was very satisfied that he could still figure out the crux of the matter.

Gu Mansion.

Ancient City was sitting on the office chair, staring at the newspaper that had just been delivered in. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile without leaving a trace.

"Who cares?" Ming Qing cautiously looked at the interesting ancient city and asked tentatively.

The ancient city stopped smiling and looked at Ming Qing coldly. Ming Qing was startled and felt like he had said something wrong.

As expected, when Ning Anlan rushed to the company, it was already full of people downstairs, "Miss Ning, may I ask if it's true that the Ning Family is squeezing their employees so hard that they get sick and are hospitalized?"

A group of reporters surrounded Ning Anlan, rushing to be the first to ask questions. The microphone could not wait to stab Ning Anlan's face. Ning Anlan was unable to dodge in time, and was knocked right in the face.
