Gu Luan turns a little pale . Can Ning…really know it?
He clenches his hands . He feels his heart painful as if it is being twisted . He does everything for her . He has been liking her for so many years . He also saw her suffer a lot during the years . He doesn’t believe that Yi Yunrui can ever protect her!
Gu Luan grits his teeth . He says in a cold voice, “Mr . Su, we have an agreement between us . No matter what happens, I hope you may keep the secret between you and me . ”
“Don’t worry . ” Su Shen fixes his hair, “This the bottom line . I know it . However, Director Gu, next time, please do things more carefully . Or, I am afraid that I can’t but choose to protect myself first . ”
Su Shen finishes his words and turns around to leave .
Looking at the waves coming one by one to clap the bank, Gu Luan freezes his eyes, at the deep of which there is a flame of fire on .
Su Shen signed the contract with him, but in the end, he gave in because he was afraid of Yi Yunrui . To Su Shen, is Gu Luan inferior to Yi Yunrui?
Is he inferior to Yi Yunrui?
Gu Luan forcefully punches on the bank . He grits his teeth . No . He can’t delay any longer!
Gu Luan takes out his phone . He dials a number . To keep calm? He can’t make it!
When Xia Ning wakes up, it is five in the morning .
She is woken up by hunger .
It is strange . Recently, she was often woken at midnight, by hunger .
She remembers that she ate a lot in the morning and took enough sugar . However, she often feels hungry at this time of the day . Hunger comes as punctually as an alarming clock rings at the scheduled time .
Xia Ning gets up . She feels very tired . She rubs her waist and her shoulders and goes to the kitchen to cook some noodles .
When she cooks the noodles, her stomach cries . When the noodles are almost done, an idea suddenly pops up in her brain . She wants to have hamburgers! She wants to have fried chicken and chips!
She is shocked by her idea!
She wants to have them very much . She has to have them as soon as possible!
Looking at the hot noodles, Xia Ning takes up the chopsticks and takes a mouthful of them . But she is not willing to have another mouthful of them at all . She consciously refuses to eat the noodles .
She wants to have hamburgers . She wants to have a steak .
Xia Ning hesitates for quite a while . In the end, she can’t resist the idea in her mind . She puts on her clothes and goes downstairs to drive her car .
KFC is 24 hours on . She can go to KFC .
She gets to the gate of KFC . When she gets off the car to open the door, she suddenly remembers the meat problem reported in Shanghai . She draws back her hand .
KFC has taken some measures, but she still feels a little worried about that .
Thinking about this, Xia Ning goes back to her car and drives to the market to buy beef and other stuff .
It is five now . She will buy the food and cook it herself . After she finishes it, she will be right on time to go to work .
She picks some pounds of Angus beef and packs it to go home . She gets home at five twenty .
It is easy to make the Angus steak . It only needs to be patted with the back of the knife and sauced with salt and black pepper . Then, it needs to be fried for a few minutes .
Xia Ning makes the sauce . Within ten minutes, the steak is ready .
It is about a pound of steak on the dish . It looks quite much . Xia Ning swallows her saliva . She takes up the knife and fork and starts to eat .
Surprisingly, she eats up all the steak .
Xia Ning strokes her stomach with satisfaction . She wants to lie down on the bed or take a bath .
After resting for a while, Xia Ning decides to have a bath . She closes her eyes when lying in the bathtub to enjoy the peace .
She lies there with her eyes closed . Half an hour passes .
It is still early . Xia Ning goes to the balcony to do some exercises .
She wonders how is Rui now . At this time, is Rui sleeping or doing anything?
She doesn’t know whether Rui is thinking of her .
She misses him very much .
When she gets to the company, it is about eight . She sees a lot of files on her desk . She unconsciously feels a little annoyed .
She doesn’t want to do anything, but going home to sleep…
However, the idea disappears very soon . If she doesn’t work, she will feel bored .
Recently, Zhou Mengyao arranges more and more work for her . She almost regards Xia Ning as her secretary, the assistant to the president of Junhao Group .
Someone knocks at the door . Xia Ning says, “Come in!”
It is An Zihao .
Xia Ning feels surprised, wondering why Supervisor An comes to her so early .
“Hello, Supervisor An . ”
An Zihao nods, he sits down face to face with her, “The month is going to end . Every department is doing cleanup . You may get prepared to work overtime .
Hearing the words Work Overtime, Xia Ning feels headache . She has the desire to find a place to hide herself .
“Why? Do you feel tired?”
“Oh . No . Hum . I see . ”
An Zihao mildly smiles, “Xia Ning, it is not easy to be in this post . You may drop the unnecessary and useless ideas . Focus on the things you are doing . You may come to me if there are any difficulties . ”
“OK . Thank you, Supervisor An . ”
“Don’t thank me . ” An Zihao smiles mysteriously, “I will tell my secretary to bring the files to you . You may arrange them first and get ready to work overtime . ”
Then, An Zihao turns to leave . After a few minutes, An Zihao’s assistant brings a big bunch of files to Xia Ning . She puts them all on Xia Ning’s desk .
Xia Ning is shocked to look at the files which make a small hill there .
God . How can she finish them all by herself…?
“Assistant Xia . ” An Zihao’s assistant politely says, “Supervisor An told you to reply to him by the noon of tomorrow about these documents . ”
Xia Ning twitches her lips . She nods, “I see . ”
By the noon of tomorrow? God . Seemingly, she won’t have time to sleep tonight .
Then, Xia Ning makes some cups of espresso and gets ready to work the whole night .
When the coffee is ready and giving out steam beside her, Xia Ning puts down the file in her hand . She strokes her forehead, thinking about whether she should apply for one more assistant for Aunt Zhou .
She takes up a cup of espresso for a sip . But she has not swallowed it when she suddenly feels like vomiting . She puts down the coffee and runs to the toilet at once…
She throws up in the toilet for quite a while and then sits down in prostration . Seemingly, she had too much steak in the morning and she feels sick now .
At the time, her phone rings . It is Jiang Yongran .
Xia Ning feels confused . Didn’t Jiang Yongran leave C City? Why does he call her?
“Assistant Xia, are you free now?”
Xia Ning frowns, “General Manager Jiang, what do you call me for?”
“I am leaving C City soon . But I have got a document of the company with me . Time is tight . Is it convenient for you to come out to fetch it? We may meet in the coffee shop at the turning of the building downstairs . Is it OK?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while . She may go to buy some fruit after getting the document . She says, “OK . I will meet you there in ten minutes . ”
She washes her face at once and briefly puts on makeup . Then, she fixes her clothes and leaves her office in a hurry .
The coffee shop is just around the corner . Xia Ning doesn’t drive her car . She goes there on foot . When she gets to the coffee shop, Jiang Yongran has been waiting for her there .
He arrives so soon?
Xia Ning feels surprised . She goes in and greets him, “Hello, General Manager Jiang . ”
Jiang Yongran smiles, “I am on a long vacation . Don’t call me General Manager Jiang . Call me Yongran . ”
At the time, the waiter sends them a cup of cappuccino and puts it in front of Xia Ning .
“Assistant Xia likes cappuccino . The coffee of this shop is fine . You may have a taste . ”
Coffee again…
Xia Ning reluctantly puts on a smile . She takes it up for a sip .
When Xia Ning lowers her face, Jiang Yongran’s eyes gleam evilly .
Xia Ning slightly frowns . The coffee has too much milk in it . She puts down the coffee .
“You don’t like the taste of the coffee?” Jiang Yongran smiles to ask .
“Oh . No . But I had much coffee in my office just now . So, I feel a little sick in my stomach . ”
“Oh . I see . ” Jiang Yongran nods, “I am leaving for the airport soon . I will try to relax in the following days . I may think about my future . ”
Xia Ning smiles but she says nothing . After all, indirectly, Jiang Yongran leaves because of her . She doesn’t know how Jiang Yongran thinks about her . So, it is inconvenient for her to give any comments .
She is afraid that she may speak something improper and enrage Jiang Yongran .
“Why don’t you say anything? Are you afraid of me?”
Xia Ning feels shocked . She shakes her head, “General Manager Jiang, you misunderstand . I am not . Where are you going for the holiday?”
“Aegean Sea . ”
Xia Ning’s eyes brighten, “That is a good place . ” She thinks she may go there with Rui someday .
Jiang Yongran mocks himself, “I am going there alone . ”
“Oh? Alone?”
Jiang Yongran nods . He gives a sigh, “I go there to criticize myself . Some things should not go on . ”
Then, Jiang Yongran glances at his watch and passes a document to Xia Ning, “Assistant Xia, this is a name list for you . When you come across some difficulties, you can try to reach these people . They may be able to help you . ”
Xia Ning takes it over . She opens it and glances at it . She feels a little confused, “General Manager Jiang…”
“You may call me Yongran . ” Jiang Yongran gives a sigh, “Do not take it wrong . I did do some bad things in the past . Now, I have the chance to make up for them . I may do it as much as possible . ”
“General Manager Jiang, you have been in Junhao Group for so many years . Aunt Zhou makes the arrangement for your good . I am just temporarily here . So, General Manager Jiang, I hope you don’t misunderstand . ”
Jiang Yongran smiles, “President Zhou has her arrangement . We may just obey that . It is late . I have to go . The plane doesn’t wait . ”
Then, Jiang Yongran pays the bill and leaves the coffee shop .
Xia Ning looks at the name list in her hand . She purses her lips . An Zihao told her to reply to him by tomorrow noon . Now, she has got the name list with her . She hopes that it helps .
Thinking about his, Xia Ning puts the name list aside and goes out of the coffee shop .
When she walks slowly in the lane, she turns around to glance at the coffee shop . To be honest, the coffee it provides is not good . And it is located in this lane . It has no advantages in location or products . Xia Ning wonders what the owner of the coffee shop thinks about .
Suddenly, she feels dizzy . Her eyes are blurred . Xia Ning holds the wall at once .
She feels that she is weak and dizzy…
The things in front of her get vaguer and vaguer . Xia Ning feels shocked . She hasn’t had the time to cry for help when she fainted and fallen onto the ground…
