Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1547 - 1536: Strange Request

Ning Fan looked at Baby Hai in surprise, not expecting her to be so meticulous and always thinking about this issue.Ning Fan's mind raced, and he quickly said, "Well... Baobao. Here's the thing: my previous company suddenly called and asked me to go back to work."

"They already fired you, so why go back? The job I found for you now has better pay, prospects, everything better than before."

Ning Fan braced himself and said, "But I've already agreed."

No matter how promising the future is, it can't beat the family-owned corporation.

During work hours, you slack off, enjoy the view, live happily and freely.

"So you're saying I'm meddling."

Looking at Baby Hai's stern face, Ning Fan found it hard to understand this refreshingly unconventional way of thinking.

"Baobao, you care about me so much. I'm grateful, how could I blame you for anything? It's just too generous to refuse..."

After a lot of coaxing, Ning Fan finally managed to make Baby Hai laugh.

The next day, after seeing Baby Hai off on a plane, Ning Fan suddenly felt bored.

"Whatever, I'll just go back to the company."

The company was busy as usual, and no one seemed to notice Ning Fan skipping work.

But the brothers in the security department were a bit uneasy.

They feared their superior might suddenly make them drill again.

But Ning Fan wasn't in the mood for that now, he was counting the days on his fingers one by one.

The dull, boring days were finally coming to an end when Ning Fan received a message from Xu Ruolan, saying she was about to return to the country and asked him to send someone to pick her up from the airport.

"That's strange! My wife has never liked showing off, why this sudden request?"

Ning Fan couldn't figure it out.

Besides the staff staying at the company, Xu Ruolan asked Ning Fan to bring the security team to the airport, requiring them to be energetic and imposing.

Although he didn't understand, Ning Fan certainly wouldn't neglect his wife's requests.

The second-in-command of the security department reported in, "Manager, did you call for me?"

"Zhu Xuetao, go to the finance department. Xu has approved a budget — bring the check back."

"Okay, Manager Ning."

Zhu Xuetao nodded and then asked suspiciously, "What's the budget for?"

"To buy clothes. It's a company benefit, we're ordering everyone a suit."

When Zhu Xuetao got the check, he was shocked by the amount and asked finance multiple times before daring to put it in his pocket.

"Four and a half million. Averaging it, each suit is nearly forty thousand. Has the boss lost it?"

Seeing the number on the check, Zhu Xuetao was indeed tempted, albeit just for a moment.

If it were cash, he might've run off with it.

Back at the office, Zhu Xuetao immediately asked, "Manager Ning, did Xu make a mistake? Isn't this too much?"

Though Zhu Xuetao never felt ashamed of his work, a forty-thousand suit on himself felt a bit unfit.

You should wear clothes that suit you, even a beggar wouldn't look like a prince in a robe made for royalty.

"It's the company's goodwill, you should explain this in a meeting with the guys later. So they won't grumble when they hear about the training."

Zhu Xuetao immediately understood Ning Fan's intentions, quickly adding, "The company treats us so well. If these kids dare complain, I'll deal with them."

Suits costing forty thousand a set for security staff — what company offers such benefits?

"By the way, here's the card for the suit shop. After the meeting, take the people on the list to get their suits done first. The rest can wait."

As per Xu Ruolan's request, Ning Fan specially selected ten people from the security department.

All of them were young, handsome, tall, and mighty — even their heights were consistent, they were a treat for the eyes.

Ning Fan specifically instructed, "Explain everything clearly to the remaining guys, so they won't overthink."

Forty thousand per suit is already mid-range and has to be custom-made.

Getting everyone's suits ready in such a short time clearly wasn't feasible.

"I know what to do."

Zhu Xuetao also knew about the airport pick-up, he helped draft the list.

Seeing the business card, Zhu Xuetao was stunned and finally understood why it was so pricey — it's an international top brand.

"Could it be the deal was successful, and that's why my wife wants to show off a bit?"

Ning Fan shook his head, choosing not to dwell on it; the truth would be revealed upon her return.

Soon after, a roaring celebration was heard from the meeting room next door.

The security department staff had clearly learned of this high-level benefit.

"It's the company's care for us, so everyone must be diligent and responsible in the future. Also, let me clarify: for anyone resigning within two years, the suit must be returned. After two years, it belongs to the individual."

Hearing this, Ning Fan nodded in approval, "Zhu Xuetao really is a talent, I should promote him."

This time, Xu Ruolan acted on a whim and hadn't thought it through.

But Zhu Xuetao saw the opportunity to unite the team, proving his meticulousness and dedication to the company.

As a boss, such talent naturally deserves attention.

In the security department, Ning Fan didn't play politics or power games; aside from the occasional tedious drill, he never meddled in affairs.

Thus, even though Zhu Xuetao was a deputy, his authority wasn't low, just the title of vice made it sound less official.

After that, Ning Fan "eavesdropped" on some of the employees' discussions.

The order of suit distribution and the return policy caused no discontent.

With such high benefits, it's normal for the company to have such rules.

If someone took the clothes and left, the company would suffer a big loss.

Moreover, the benefits this time included all security department staff, new and old, even those just hired weren't excluded.

Better equality than scarcity, this approach left no room for complaints.

Though some questioned why it wasn't given as cash.

But this doubt quickly vanished in the chorus of dismissals.

Xu Corporation's benefits weren't bad to begin with, this was already an unexpected perk, those still dissatisfied were insatiable.

Seeing the reaction, Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction, glad that the generosity hadn't bred resentment.

Three days later, it was finally time for Xu Ruolan to return.

Standing in the company's central courtyard parking lot, Ning Fan was inspecting the men he'd handpicked.

The ten security guards were all in black suits, black sunglasses, black shoes, and even a line of ten black Mercedes.

This uniform black ensemble was nothing short of spectacular.

"Indeed, clothes make the man, just as gold decorates the Buddha."

Those female office workers who usually looked down on everyone now couldn't help stealing glances, their eyes glimmering with admiration.
