Ten minutes later.
Knock knock knock!
"You should be prepared when they arrive."
Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue, who were sitting in the office, both looked up at the door when they heard someone knocking. Lu Fan smiled and looked at Jiang Manyue.
"Why should I be mentally prepared? Do you think a little bit of paperwork can scare me?"
Listening to Lu Fan's words, Jiang Manyue had previously processed documents for Lu Fan and had seen a lot of things.
"Come in!"
Looking at Jiang Manyue's appearance, Lu Fan smiled and called out to the door.
"Chairman, President Lu, the documents you requested have been brought over."
Secretary Ge walked in alone, carrying a stack of documents, and spoke to Jiang Manyue and Lu Fan.
"Bring it here and put it on the table."
Jiang Manyue, listening to Lu Fan's words, assumed there were many things, but seeing only a pile that Secretary Ge was carrying, pointed to the table and said to Secretary Ge.
Lu Fan simply watched quietly, a smile always on his lips.
"Alright, Secretary Ge, you can go now."
Jiang Manyue picked up a document from the table and said to Secretary Ge.
"Okay, bring in the box containing the documents."
He had originally wanted to talk to Jiang Manyue about the situation, but she told him to leave directly, so he nodded and called out to the door.
"A box for holding documents? Besides what you took, are there any others?"
Jiang Manyue, who was looking at the documents, looked towards the door and asked after hearing Secretary Ge's words.
"Yes! Didn't the chairman tell you?"
Secretary Ge looked at Jiang Manyue's surprised expression and asked her a question.
"These are all the documents that need to be signed."
When the box was brought in, Jiang Manyue was dumbfounded. It would definitely take at least two days to finish reading it. She then looked angrily at Lu Fan, realizing that he had given her a job she didn't want to do.
Seeing Jiang Manyue's angry expression, Lu Fan tried his best to suppress his laughter. When he saw Jiang Manyue glaring at him, he quickly turned his back.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now."
Seeing someone there, he suppressed his anger, looked at the box of documents, and collapsed into a chair, clutching his head and waving at Secretary Ge.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, if you have any problems, please feel free to contact me anytime."
Secretary Ge, seeing Jiang Manyue's expression, knew she was having a headache; she herself knew how stressful it was managing the company these past few days. After saying this, she left the office.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After Secretary Ge closed the office door, Lu Fan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, collapsing onto the sofa.
"Are you happy?"
Jiang Manyue, who was covering her head in frustration, heard Lu Fan's mocking laughter and said to him with a straight face.
"No, that's not true! I just want you to rebuild the company structure as soon as possible."
Hearing that Jiang Manyue was a little unhappy, Lu Fan quickly put away his smile and said to her with a serious expression.
"You're just gloating. I'll be living with this for ages!"
Seeing the mountain of documents, Jiang Manyue felt a headache coming on and impatiently shouted at Lu Fan.
"Take your time and look at it slowly, there's no need to rush. Besides, I won't let you look at it alone, I'm here with you."
"Breathe..."
Lu Fan, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked to the box. He piled the documents inside in front of Jiang Manyue, then said something to her. After speaking, he yawned and lay down on the sofa.
Lu Fan, who hadn't been sleeping well lately, woke up too early this morning and collapsed onto the sofa with his eyes closed before he was fully awake.
Seeing Lu Fan's exhausted appearance, Jiang Manyue didn't say anything. Now that she knew Lu Fan must have tried many methods when she was kidnapped, she stopped calling out to him.
Instead, he started to seriously look at the documents on the table.
Jiang Manyue needs to understand the Jiang Group as soon as possible so that she can help Lu Fan and relieve some of his pressure.
A long time passed. Jiang Manyue remained seated at her desk, intently studying the documents Secretary Ge had brought, while Lu Fan had already drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Manyue was shocked when she read the documents. The company had shrunk by a quarter of its previous size, many promising investment projects had disappeared, and there was a lot of extra money in the accounts. Most of the employees she had hired had left during the most difficult times, with only a few remaining.
"Sister-in-law, why are you sitting here reading documents? Why won't you let my brother do it!"
Just as Jiang Manyue was reading the documents, the office door opened. Lu Xi entered the office and saw Lu Fan sleeping on the sofa. She then looked at Jiang Manyue, who was reading documents at the desk, and said to her with heartache.
"Shh, your brother probably hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Let him get some rest."
Hearing Lu Xi's loud voice, Jiang Manyue quickly made a shushing gesture. Seeing that Lu Fan hadn't been woken up, she then spoke to Lu Xi.
"Indeed, my brother hasn't had a good night's sleep these days."
Looking at Lu Fan sleeping, Lu Xi's eyes were filled with heartache.
"What are you doing here? Is the company short of money lately?"
Jiang Manyue then turned her attention to Lu Xi. It wasn't after get off work hours, so she wondered why Lu Xi had come over.
"My brother was injured before, so I came to bring him medicine."
Hearing Jiang Manyue ask her a question, Lu Xi took out the medicine from her bag and said.
What injury did your brother suffer?
After listening to Lu Xi's words, he took the medicine that Lu Xi brought, looked at the sleeping Lu Fan, and asked Lu Xi.
"Didn't my brother tell you? After you were kidnapped, the Oriental Group demanded that my brother go to negotiate alone. I don't know the specifics of what they discussed, but in the end, they beat my brother severely and threw him out. That's when my brother was injured."
Seeing that Jiang Manyue didn't know what was going on, Lu Xi told her what had happened.
"By the way, I've already delivered the medicine. There's a dosage listed inside. Just watch my brother take it at noon. Make sure you watch him take it all, because he never takes his medicine otherwise."
I had assumed my sister-in-law wasn't at the company, but now that she was here, I didn't have anything to do. After giving her a few instructions, I left.
"Ah! What a wonderful sleep! Who came in just now?"
Just after Lu Xi left the office, the sound of the office door closing woke Lu Fan. Lu Fan sat up, stretched, and asked Jiang Manyue.
"Your sister is coming to see you."
Jiang Manyue looked at Lu Fan and answered.
"What's my sister doing here? It's not even lunchtime yet!"
Lu Fan glanced at his watch; there was still an hour until noon. He then asked Jiang Manyue.
