Chapter 22: Rampant
"Jiang Jin, are you so impatient to kick me out?" Han sneered, "To be honest, I won't go to the R&D department. If you insist on letting me go, then find a reason to fire me and I'll apply for labor arbitration."
Jiang Jin: "The R&D department is the core department of the company and it matches your expertise. Why are you so reluctant?"
Han shook his head. "Although it's a suitable major, the pay is low and the workload is high. I don't want to do it. Besides, I haven't done anything related to my major since graduation. I have no practical experience. If I go there, I'll have to start from the bottom, which would be a waste of my current resources."
She looked at Jiang Jin with a half-smile: "Don't you know the style of Mr. Wang, the Vice President of R&D? If I go there, I will undoubtedly die. You are using a knife to kill me."
Jiang Jin pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Is he so difficult?"
Han glanced at him and said, "Then give it a try."
Jiang Jin frowned and sneered, "Since that's what you said, I really want to give it a try." He thought for a moment and added, "Whoever dares to kill you will immediately put the R&D department under the direct management of General Manager Gu."
"Gu Ningwei?"
"Yes, he plans to manage the R&D department himself. With this protective umbrella, who can touch you?" Jiang Jin's tone was sour, with a hint of smile.
Han looked up at him and just smiled, his meaning unclear. He stood up and said lightly, "Since you know I have this umbrella of protection, don't touch me easily."
Jiang Jin turned his head away with a stiff expression.

At 6:30 in the evening, Gu Ningli drove to the company and picked up Jiang Jin to meet her father Gu Zhiguang.
Gu Ningli drove the apple green Tesla S and parked it in the corner of the underground garage. Jiang Jin sent her a message saying that he was discussing something and would come down later.
Gu Ningli obediently returned a smiling expression and continued to play games out of boredom. She waited for almost half an hour before she saw Jiang Jin coming down from the elevator, his brows slightly furrowed and his face gloomy.
Gu Ningli rarely saw him with this expression, so she silently opened the car door for him.
Jiang Jin got in the car, sat in the passenger seat, and rubbed his temples. After a while, he remembered something, leaned over and gently kissed her lips, saying softly, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, baby."
Gu Ningli wanted to get angry, but seeing him like this, she smiled, reached out to help him straighten the wrinkles on his suit, and said gently, "Are you tired today?"
Jiang Jin nodded and sighed, "We've been in a meeting for half a day, talking to a lot of people, and there are so many things to think about."
Gu Ningli touched his slightly frowned brows soothingly and said, "It's only the first day. It will get better later on."
Jiang Jin shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to say."
Gu Ningli frowned: "What? Is the situation not good?"
Jiang Jin took a deep breath. "I can't say it's bad, but it's more troublesome. Li Zhekai used to be a hands-off boss, leaving everything to his subordinates, which has fostered the habit of these people acting independently. It's difficult to take back power quickly. Humph, even simple personnel adjustments have encountered a lot of resistance."
He thought of his confrontation with Han Que in the afternoon, and his brows furrowed even more.
Gu Ningli frowned and complained, "I don't understand why Gu Ningwei insisted on buying this crappy company. He claims to have core technology, but I haven't seen it. The annual sales of water tanks have only brought in such a small amount of revenue, and the cash flow is not enough to support the group..." After thinking for a while, she asked Jiang Jin, "Do you think he really bought this company for a woman?"
Jiang Jin pursed his lips, glanced at her, and said nothing.
Gu Ningli couldn't help but grit her teeth: "My brother is simply crazy and possessed by a ghost."
Jiang Jin didn't look at her, and said indifferently: "When have you ever seen Gu Ningwei be possessed by a ghost?"
Gu Ningli: “…”
This question stumped her. From childhood to adulthood, although Gu Ningwei was always laughing and seemed unreliable, he would always take action at critical moments and make people look at him with admiration.
"Isn't it for that woman?" Gu Ningli was even more confused. "Why is that? I really don't understand. He even asked me to invest as well. He..."
Jiang Jin snorted, slightly mocking, "Even if you don't understand, you still voted with him."
Gu Ningli: "He said this was for my own good, he..."
Jiang Jin suddenly frowned impatiently and interrupted her: "Okay, can you please stop talking about these things?"
Gu Ningli was stunned. She had never seen Jiang Jin's sudden temper before, and she pouted her lips in grievance.
Jiang Jin didn't look at her, but stared at the windshield without saying a word.
The two were silent in the car, and the atmosphere was subtle.
Gu Ningli held it in for a while, and seeing that he didn't apologize, she turned her head and glanced at Jiang Jin's handsome profile. He had a gloomy face, a high nose bridge, a tight jawline, thin lips, and sharp eyes, but he exuded masculine charm.
Gu Ningli felt inexplicably moved. She had always seen only his gentle side before, and his good temper seemed unreal.
She tugged at his suit sleeve, half aggrieved and half tenderly acting coquettishly: "What's wrong with you? You're being mean to me!"
Jiang Jin finally came to his senses. He took Gu Ningli's hand and shook it soothingly, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry..."
Gu Ningli shook her head: "It's okay, let's go back."
Jiang Jin hummed, then said, "Let me drive. You take a break."
Jiang Jin has always been Gu Ningli's driver.
Gu Ningli smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll do it." She looked at his handsome face reluctantly and said with a smile, "Your clothes don't match the color of this car."
"Thank you." Jiang Jin looked at her white knitted coat and light green skirt, leaned over and kissed her lips, "It matches your outfit very well."
His gaze lingered on Gu Ningli's neck, and he could vaguely see her lace pink-green bra underneath. The white, greasy mountain ranges undulated, faintly emitting a delicate fragrance. He took a deep sniff and whispered in her ear, "It matches the one inside better."
The warm breath tickled Gu Ningli's earlobe. She blushed, smiled sweetly, and punched him: "Hateful."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Jin suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her body towards him. He crushed her lips fiercely and domineeringly, stirring her mouth. He kissed her until she couldn't breathe and her tongue was painful. "Jiang Jin..."
Gu Ningli gasped and moaned, but his tongue blocked her breath. His other hand had already lifted the hem of her skirt, and through the thin lace cloth, he fiddled with her private parts and whispered in her ear, "I thought about it..."
As he spoke, his fingers nimbly pushed aside the obstruction and probed into the subtle place. Not long after, he touched a patch of mud.
Jiang Jin paused, sneered, and then lifted Gu Ningli from the driver's seat onto his lap, while quickly unbuckled his belt with one hand.
Gu Ningli had never seen Jiang Jin so impulsive and hungry. She was afraid and loved him at the same time. She panted and pushed him away: "No, not here..."
Jiang Jin's face was gloomy and his movements became more rough. He turned Gu Ningli over with her back facing him, lifted her skirt, pulled off her panties, thrust forward and took a deep breath.
Gu Ningli fell onto the passenger seat, her eyes suddenly widening in pain from the rough action.
It was the rush hour after get off work, and cars were coming and going in the underground garage. The roar of engines, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the sound of hurried footsteps, and the sound of voices came one after another.
…and the bright car lights lit up alternately, piercing the eyes like searchlights.
Gu Ningli's heart was beating like a drum, about to jump out of her chest, her adrenaline soaring. She closed her eyes to deceive herself, bit her lips tightly, and forced herself to hold back the low moan that was about to escape. In her ears was the man's suppressed heavy breathing, which accompanied his movements, one more rapid than the other, thrilling and intoxicating.
Time passed slowly yet quickly, like a storm, sweeping across the place. Finally, the man buried his head in her neck, letting out a suppressed growl, which even had a hint of tears in it, making Gu Ningli physically and mentally weakened.
Jiang Jin put on his pants, found some tissues from the car locker, cleaned up the two of them, then leaned back in his seat, silent, with a blank look in his eyes.
The car returned to tranquility, filled with the slightly fishy smell of hormones.
Gu Ningli curled up weakly in his arms, her fingers unconsciously playing with the buttons on Jiang Jin's shirt. Looking up, she saw the man had returned to his former elegance and refinement, but with a hint of coldness.
Gu Ningli was silent, looking thoughtful.
