Chapter 1047: Chapter 1036: Ning Fan, Do Not Provoke!
Outside the Moon Pavilion, Ma Jianguo had no mind to admire the high-end garden-style decorations he once envied, anxiously waiting outside the door.
Just now, he had handed over his bank card containing all his wealth and that account book that now felt like a hot potato through the chairman’s doorman.
He had been standing outside the Moon Pavilion for more than half an hour now, yet he still had not received a summons from the chairman to enter.
Of course, he wanted to go in, but the doorman at the entrance wore a face as cold as iron, giving this current vice chairman of the Dragon City of Commerce not the slightest bit of courtesy.
“Ma Jianguo, you can go back now.”
Just when Ma Jianguo was feeling uneasy, the quiet wooden door was opened, and Guo Qingtian’s doorman said coldly.
“Ah… where is the chairman? I need to see the chairman!”
Ma Jianguo was really anxious this time, like a castaway floating on the sea suddenly discovering that the driftwood he clung to for survival had drifted away.
“The chairman is not feeling well today and is not seeing any visitors.”
The doorman’s voice was chill, and he looked at the anxious Ma Jianguo with indifferent eyes, showing no sign of leniency.
“I need to see the chairman… please, give me a chance, I only need ten minutes!”
Ma Jianguo’s legs trembled continuously, almost to the point of tears.
Over the years, the reason he could amass wealth in the Dragon City of Commerce was due in no small part to his dealings with Guo Qingtian.
In fact, if the contents of this account book were fully exposed, even if Guo Qingtian held a high position and his family held considerable power in Dragon City, it wouldn’t be easy to resolve.
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ma Jianguo’s eyes, and he shouted as if no one was around, “Chairman, I know you are in there. Think it over carefully. If you refuse to help me, we will go down together; we are on the same boat!”
“Wait…”
The doorman at the door frowned, interrupting Ma Jianguo, and hurried inside.
It wasn’t long before the doorman reappeared in front of Ma Jianguo, the voice still cold, saying lightly, “Go in.”
“Thank you, thank you!”
Ma Jianguo hurriedly thanked him, and with no time to maintain appearances, he stumbled into the Moon Pavilion without even changing his shoes.
Stepping on the luxurious Persian carpet underfoot, still carrying a look of panic on his face, he hadn’t even found his bearings when a voice, rough as sandpaper, echoed in the living room.
“Ma Jianguo, I am very disappointed in you.”
Guo Qingtian stood up from the sofa, casting a glance at the somewhat disoriented Ma Jianguo.
“Chairman, save me, save me…”
At this point, Ma Jianguo was past etiquette. Upon seeing Guo Qingtian, he felt closer than seeing his own father. He rushed forward a few steps, knees buckling, and knelt directly on the carpet, crying out, “If you don’t bail me out this time, our Dragon City of Commerce will be doomed.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Guo Qingtian frowned, interrupting Ma Jianguo coldly.
At the moment, he was flipping through Ma Jianguo’s account book, and the more he read, the deeper his frown became.
“Is your brain full of shit? Would you dare to record such deadly information, and even let it fall into someone else’s hands? Are you bored of the smooth sailing life you’ve had all these years and looking for trouble?”
Guo Qingtian’s tone was filled with mockery, and Ma Jianguo lowered his head in dismay, not daring to utter a word of retort.
He knew all his hopes rested on Guo Qingtian.
“Chairman, I was just momentarily confused, please, you must help me.”
Ma Jianguo shouted hoarsely, “That Ning Fan is arrogant and threatens me with the account book; he’s pushing our commerce into the abyss. If he is not eliminated, he will definitely be a major threat in the future.”
“Eliminate him? With what?”
Guo Qingtian angrily slapped the armrest of the sofa, a flash of deep apprehension crossing his eyes.
Ning Fan…
Currently the general manager of the Dragon City Branch Company of Xu Corporation.
This identity is not enough to boast in front of Guo Qingtian.
In fact, in his Moon Pavilion, he doesn’t know how many heads of multinational companies he entertains daily.
These big shots who dominate the business world behave obediently in front of him.
But Ning Fan’s other identity… Asura!
Guo Qingtian, looking at the swiftly gathered information on Ning Fan, felt an involuntary twitch in his heart.
Unlike the average person, he knew more, leaning on the Dragon City of Commerce and the Guo Family.
But at the same time, he also understood what the name Asura implies.
Originally planning to abandon the car to protect the commander, Guo Qingtian eventually called Ma Jianguo in after contemplating for a long time while sitting on the sofa.
He dared not speculate on Ning Fan’s current mood. If one Ma Jianguo couldn’t satisfy him, perhaps the Dragon City of Commerce would really go down today!
This was not because of the account book Ma Jianguo dreaded, but because of Ning Fan!
Because of that name, Asura!
“Considering our years of working together, I’ll point you to a way out.”
Guo Qingtian closed the account book and said coldly.
“Thank you, Chairman… thank you!”
Ma Jianguo hurriedly said, kneeling meticulously, obedient as if he were Guo Qingtian’s loyal dog.
“Don’t thank me, your fate doesn’t depend on me.”
Guo Qingtian lowered his eyelids, speaking in a heavy voice, “Go to the Dragon City Branch Company at once, and ask Ning Fan for forgiveness; this is your last chance. Whether you succeed in saving yourself depends on you.”
After saying this, Guo Qingtian took the account book and the bank card Ma Jianguo handed over, stood up, and walked upstairs without a word.
“Vice Chairman Ma, you can leave now, the chairman needs to rest.”
The doorman’s voice rang in his ears, and Ma Jianguo was still in a daze, unable to recover.
Asking Ning Fan for forgiveness… what does that mean?
Disconcerted thoughts rose in Ma Jianguo’s mind, but Guo Qingtian’s attitude undoubtedly showed he did not plan to deal with Ning Fan.
“That kid is just a small company’s general manager, what is Chairman Guo afraid of?”
Ma Jianguo puzzledly wondered in his heart.
“Ma Jianguo, I’ve already given you the opportunity. It’s up to you whether you take it or not.”
Guo Qingtian stopped at the stairway, casting a deep and meaningful glance at Ma Jianguo: “Ning Fan, I cannot provoke.”
Being pushed out from the Moon Pavilion by the doorman, Ma Jianguo did not know how he got back to his car.
Sitting dazed in the driver’s seat for over half an hour, a flicker of rage passed over his eyes, and he drove towards the Dragon City Branch Company.
