Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 284 The Origin of Xiao Yaning
"Teacher Yao, please don't work so hard in the future, hire more people, after all, you are also getting older,"
Xiao Yaning said with some heartache.
"It's okay, I'm still quite fit, but as children increase, we definitely will need more help,"
Teacher Yao carefully hid the check close to his body.
"Teacher Yao, I want to ask, how did I come to the orphanage back then?"
Xiao Yaning suddenly asked.
"Oh, that matter, let me think,"
Teacher Yao frowned and thought a bit before saying:
"Actually, you were brought here by a farmer. Over twenty years ago, the area north of the orphanage had not yet been developed; it was all farmland. One farmer went to the fields early in the morning and suddenly found a little girl sitting on the ridges of the field, crying, her face all dirty."
"That farmer thought she belonged to a nearby family, but after waiting for half the day and seeing that no one came to claim her, he had no choice but to bring her to the welfare institute."
Teacher Yao looked at Xiao Yaning and smiled:
"Once we washed that little girl's face, we found out she was actually a pretty little thing that made you instantly like her!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yaning blushed a bit, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Right, I almost forgot!"
Teacher Yao suddenly smacked his thigh, startling both Su Chen and Xiao Yaning.
"Teacher Yao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yaning asked curiously.
"Ningning, there's something I don't know if I should tell you,"
Teacher Yao looked at Xiao Yaning somewhat hesitantly:
"This might be related to your parentage, a few years ago a man came looking for you, he might be your biological father, he said..."
"I don't want to know."
Xiao Yaning immediately interrupted Teacher Yao, her face showing distinct coolness:
"Since they abandoned me in the field ridges, and didn't want me, then I have no relation with them!"
In Xiao Yaning's heart, she had only one relative, her mother Li Suqin.
She would rather claim Xiao Dingguo as her father, instead of acknowledging that man who could be her biological father.
After all, Xiao Dingguo, though unrelated by blood, had raised her for so many years.
What about that so-called biological father? What had he done?
He just abandoned her in a field ridge, leaving her to fend for herself!
To have given birth to her, yet not want her, such biological parents she would rather not have!
"Okay, if you don't want to know, we won't talk about it."
Teacher Yao also heaved a sigh:
"Besides, that man only came once, trying to get in touch now would probably be very difficult."
Hearing this, Xiao Yaning felt an even colder smile within, thinking if he really cared, why did he only come once?
After a while, she prepared to say goodbye:
"Teacher Yao, if you ever have any difficulties in the future, let me know. Don't bear it alone, I will also come to visit you more often."

"Okay, don't worry, there won't be any problems."
The biggest issue for the welfare institute was a lack of funds, but with Xiao Yaning's donation of fifty million, all those problems were resolved, after all, it's still a money-driven society.
"Then, we'll be leaving now."
"Alright, have a safe journey,"
Teacher Yao escorted them to the gate before turning back.
After leaving the welfare institute, Su Chen noticed that Xiao Yaning seemed a bit upset.
He knew it must have been related to the man Teacher Yao had mentioned, who might be her biological father; after all, it's difficult for anyone to remain calm in such a situation.
Su Chen didn't plan to say anything; such matters need time to heal. Words from others are often useless.
After dropping Xiao Yaning off at Rose Mansion, Su Chen returned to Belle Building.

The first stop was obviously Lin Ruoxue's office. Lin Ruoxue was somewhat angry about his disappearance early in the morning and his absence from work, but under Su Chen's unashamed persistence, she eventually forgave her rascal husband.
After settling things with his wife, Su Chen returned to the public relations department, feeling completely refreshed. By now, everyone in the department was accustomed to the new manager's habit of arriving late, leaving early, or even disappearing for days at a time.
However, as soon as Su Chen saw these women, he remembered their previous doubts about his capabilities.
"What are you all doing? Look at yourselves!"
Su Chen deliberately put on a stern face as he looked at the groups of women chatting together and coldly commanded,
"Get back to your positions and work. Is the group paying you to chat?"
Upon seeing Su Chen's demeanor, Ran Ting couldn't help but purse her lips:
"What's with the manager today? He's started raving as soon as he arrived!"
"Who knows? Maybe he had a fight with the chief Lin?"
Zhao Lin speculated.
"Probably so!"
The others nodded in agreement and then sauntered back to their desks.
Su Chen felt that these women in the public relations department were becoming increasingly presumptuous, completely disregarding him as their manager.
So, he decided that he had to rebuild his authority as the manager!
"Ran Ting, make a cup of tea for the manager."
"Zhao Lin, the manager seems to have overworked himself. My shoulders are a bit sore, come and give them a squeeze!"
"Shu Yin, go to the mailroom and ask why today's newspaper hasn't been delivered yet!"
.....
Although the women were displeased, under Su Chen's oppressive authority, they had no choice but to comply.
"Zhao Lin, did you skip breakfast or something? Why so weak?"
"....."
"Goodness, Zhao Lin, are you trying to pull me apart!"
Upon hearing his words, Zhao Lin almost wished to punch him dead. How could this old man be so difficult to please?
By then, Ran Ting walked in with Su Chen's cup of tea and placed it by his desk.
"Pah, what kind of tea is this? Don't you know you should wash the leaves first? Do you even understand tea?"
"Go make it again!"
"....."
After a while, Ran Ting came back with the teacup again.
Su Chen sniffed it slightly and frowned:
"Is this how you wash the leaves? Smell this, does it even taste like tea? I might as well drink plain water!"
"Manager, the newspaper is here!"
"Good, thank you."
Su Chen turned to Ran Ting and Zhao Lin behind him and scoffed:
"Look at that, Shu Yin gets things done efficiently. Look at you two, older than her but can't even manage the simplest tasks!"
Shu Yin herself felt embarrassed by this praise, thinking, I just went to fetch a newspaper, does that warrant such commendation from the manager? It's like I did something extraordinary!
Moreover, if you're going to praise, why deliberately belittle the other two sisters?
Upon hearing this, Ran Ting and Zhao Lin straight away ignored Su Chen and walked towards their desks.
"You two, what attitude is this? Can't your manager even speak to you now?"
"The group hired us to work, not to serve you, the old master!"
Ran Ting also realized that Su Chen was deliberately playing them.
"Exactly!"
Zhao Lin also loudly agreed.
Su Chen found himself at a loss in this situation, after all, they did make sense!
He could not help but feel a headache coming on, as it seemed that establishing authority was not going to be easy. He needed to think of another way...
Actually, others were even more troubled than he was, like the Liu Family, like Liu Qing...
