49: Annual Meeting

Wu Fan opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Yingying.

Today, she was wearing a long white down jacket over a gray undershirt, black tight pants, and white sneakers, making her a striking sight.

"Director Zhang, you look very beautiful today." Wu Fan gently sized her up.

Zhang Yingying smiled and asked, "No customers recently, what are you doing?"

"Watching Guan Yaoyao play King of Glory. It's very relaxing. What about you? Going on dates with your Boyfriend every day?"

Zhang Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Where would I get a Boyfriend? Why don't you introduce one to me?"

Wu Fan continued to tease her, "Didn't you have a Boyfriend? Still trying to hide it?"

"Oh please, that was my ex-Boyfriend, okay? He got together with my Best Female Friend. Why would I still want him? If I see that pair of scumbags again, I'm definitely going up there to slap them a few times to vent my frustration."

Wu Fan leaned in and whispered, "Finding a Boyfriend is pointless. If you want one, just come find your older brother. We're old friends, who cares? I don't mind making a sacrifice."

Zhang Yingying lifted her foot and kicked Wu Fan's calf, saying, "Get lost, you're never serious."

Her face, however, honestly turned red.

Chen Lu walked over and said, "Brother Fan, how are the preparations for your performance coming along?"

Wu Fan quickly straightened up and said, "I'll just go up and sing a song casually."

Zhang Yingying chimed in, "He used to hang out in bars every day. He's really good at singing."

Chen Lu gave an unnatural smile and said nothing more.

Soon after, the other tour guides, drivers, and office staff entered one after another.

CEO Gu was the last to appear.

All big bosses have this habit; if they don't make everyone wait for her a bit, it seems as though her importance won't be displayed.

After the annual meeting began, Chen Lu gave the annual summary, and CEO Gu spoke about the outlook for the coming year.

CEO Gu also asked Wu Fan, representing the fleet owner, to go up and say a few words.

Wu Fan didn't say much, only hoping that the drivers would prioritize safety and be dedicated to their duties.

He also hoped that the tour guides and drivers could cooperate closely, utilize the vehicles effectively, and maximize profits while minimizing mileage.

These simple words earned him warm applause.

His colleagues cheered, urging him to perform a talent.

Wu Fan sang an old song, which was enough to satisfy them.

Zhang Yingying secretly gave him a thumbs-up from below. Chen Lu applauded with joy in her eyes.

Wu Fan hadn't expected his impromptu performance to be so good.

Delighted, he immediately sent 10 red packets of 200 yuan each into the company group chat.

This certainly made everyone happy.

Wu Fan then gave the four drivers a 500 yuan red packet each as year-end benefits.

The four drivers were all old friends and long-time colleagues, very familiar with him.

They admired Wu Fan's generosity from the bottom of their hearts.

They knew Wu Fan's family situation and never imagined that after taking over the fleet, he would be much more generous than CEO Gu.

Therefore, they had already decided in their hearts to drive faithfully for Wu Fan.

When dinner began, Wu Fan found a corner to sit down. Chen Lu quietly sat on his left, and Zhang Yingying sat on his right, laughing, and joked, "Brother Fan, I'm going to get you drunk tonight."

Wu Fan said, "You're dreaming. I'm not drinking tonight, I drove here."

Zhang Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't use driving as an excuse. When you go to the bar normally and drink, don't you still drive?"

Wu Fan said, "What time do bars close? There are definitely no traffic police then. How dare I drink at dinner?"

Zhang Yingying poured him a glass of wine directly and said, "I don't care. You can just take a taxi home."

Chen Lu interjected, "Brother Fan is right. If you have to drive, you shouldn't drink."

Zhang Yingying, however, picked up the wine glass and smilingly pushed it toward his mouth.

Wu Fan had no choice but to gulp it down.

Chen Lu frowned slightly but said nothing further.

CEO Gu walked over, raising her wine glass: "Boss Wu, I'd like to toast you."

CEO Gu was the same age as Wu Fan, but she was still unmarried.

She looked very youthful, with a baby face, large eyes, and fair skin. She was especially radiant and had a delicate aura.

If judged purely by her looks and figure, Wu Fan wouldn't mind having a fling with her.

Her chest was very large, practically comparable to Fang Hanyu's.

Wu Fan initially admired her capabilities; she had a travel agency, a fleet, and even guesthouses and hotels—she was completely a powerful businesswoman.

But later, when he heard that CEO Gu started her career by being a mistress, he began to look down on her a bit.

After interacting with her, he also felt that she valued money too highly and was too stingy with her employees, which made him even more prejudiced against her.

However, due to their working relationship, they could only remain cordial. Everyone was pleasant when they met, as there were no major conflicts of interest.

CEO Gu's real name was Gu Ling, and her lover was the chairman of Jintai Co., Ltd. Locals called him Big Boss Jin.

He owned twenty large fishing boats, about thirty transport ships, oil tankers, and more, earning him the title of King of Ships in Island City.

Boss Jin was over sixty years old, with a head full of white hair. His voice was booming, and his body was quite robust.

Legend had it that he liked women with large chests and large butts, and if he took a liking to one, he would pay ten thousand yuan for a single night.

Of course, this was just a rumor, and its authenticity remained to be verified.

Since Wu Fan acquired the consumption cashback system, he didn't seem to hate Gu Ling as much anymore when he saw her.

It was understandable for a woman to sacrifice her body in the initial stages to build a career.

Wu Fan even felt that his current situation had similarities to Gu Ling's back then.

Wu Fan quickly stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Thank you, CEO Gu. May your business flourish."

Gu Ling drank it all in one gulp: "Let's get rich together."

The banquet was rich and lively, and in the middle, they played a red packet chain game: whoever grabbed the least had to send the next red packet.

Everyone had a great time playing.

Wu Fan's luck was good today; he didn't have to send out a single red packet all evening.

He actually wanted to send them red packets a few times, since he had the consumption cashback system, but circumstances didn't allow it.

After the banquet ended, Wu Fan suggested that everyone go to the One Foot Sea Bar to continue the party.

CEO Gu immediately agreed.

Wu Fan carried his guitar and performed a song called "The Lone Brave" on stage for everyone.

This stunned everyone in the company.

"Wu Fan plays the guitar so smoothly, that's too professional!"

"Is that Wu Fan? It's absolutely earth-shattering; his presence is no less than that of any professional singer."

"Wu Fan is overqualified as a bus driver. He should go participate in The Voice."

... Chen Lu listened to her colleagues' discussions but didn't interject. She simply rested her chin in her hand, quietly watching Wu Fan.

Wu Fan's soaring voice and cool, dazzling movements while playing the guitar deeply shook Chen Lu's heart.

She never imagined that Wu Fan had such a glamorous side to him.

Zhang Yingying walked over, suddenly patted Chen Lu's shoulder, and said, "How was Brother Fan's performance? Wasn't he cool?"

Chen Lu nodded, but didn't reply, only giving a slight smile.

She didn't particularly like Zhang Yingying, especially when she saw her smoking, which she found unacceptable.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that Zhang Yingying and Wu Fan acted too intimately, always putting their arms around each other, which was highly improper.

A girl who doesn't know how to be reserved at all...
