Chapter 33: Bankruptcy
Editor: Atlas Studios
This was the first time Yan Heng spoke to her in such a serious tone.
However, Wen Ning did not take it to heart.
"If there's nothing else, please get out." Wen Ning felt that Yan Heng was looking at her strangely. It felt as if… he could push her onto the bed anytime.
Yan Heng nodded and left the room.
Wen Ning checked the door again and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.
She was a little suspicious as to why Yan Heng left the room without doing anything else. Did he come to her room just to tell her about the Qiyu Group?
Wen Ning heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, she also felt a sense of disappointment. It was as though she had hoped that Yan Heng would do something to her.
Over the next few days, Yan Heng brought Wen Ning to many places in Spring City. Wen Ning did not know any of the people they met. However, from their words and actions, Wen Ning could tell that they were not ordinary people.
During this time, Wen Li had also called Wen Ning a few times to ask when she was going back. However, the answer that Wen Ning got from Yan Heng was… to wait a few more days!
That wait lasted for a week.
Just as Wen Ning was getting impatient and was about to suggest that she should go back first, Su He suddenly called Wen Ning and told her that the finances of the project collaboration between Sky High Group and the Wen Corporation had all been paid.
Wen Ning was rather surprised. That shouldn't be the case! The collaboration had not ended yet. Why did the other party finish paying in advance? What did the other party… or Yan Heng mean?
With this money, not only would the Wen Family survive the crisis, but the company would also be able to resume operations! This also meant that Wen Ning could leave Sky High Group.
Could it be that Yan Heng wanted to use this method to subtly tell her that she could leave? Wen Ning was a little disappointed. She decided to ask him face to face.
However, Yan Heng did not answer Wen Ning's question. Instead, he told her that they could return to Yunhai City in the afternoon.
On the way back, the two of them fell into silence. Yan Heng drove without saying a word while Wen Ning sat in the passenger seat, looking out of the car window with a heavy heart.
After some time, Wen Ning broke the silence. "After I go back… can I leave the company?"
"Yes!" Yan Heng's reply was extremely curt.
Wen Ning was also extremely disappointed. She suppressed the disappointment in her heart and said calmly, "Then I'll go back and pack up. Do I need to submit my resignation letter?"
Yan Heng smiled. "No need. Just take it as I'm firing you. You can also receive compensation."
Wen Ning knew that Yan Heng was joking with her, but she felt as if he was saying goodbye.
The car stopped outside the company building. Yan Heng handed the car keys to Wen Ning and said, "We've known each other for so long, but I've never given you a present before. This car is for you. At least… it'll be easier to accept a gift when it's a means of transportation."
Then, without waiting for Wen Ning to reject, Yan Heng turned around and entered the company.
Wen Ning felt that something was wrong with Yan Heng. Yan Heng's behavior today was too abnormal. Thinking about how she still had things left in the office, Wen Ning took the key and walked back into the office.
Upon entering the office, Wen Ning realized that the atmosphere in the office was strange as well. There were fewer employees and everyone was looking at her strangely.
Of course, after the incident about the "illegitimate child", everyone's gaze towards her had never been normal, so Wen Ning did not think too much about it.
The door to the CEO's office was not closed properly, leaving an opening.
Just as Wen Ning was about to push open the door and enter, Song Xinjie's voice sounded from inside.
"Boss, what do we do now? Gather the media and declare bankruptcy?"
"Announce it!"
