Ning Xixi imdiately called the manager of Ning Corporation’s design departnt, and although the call went through, it was disconnected after only two rings!
She tried again, and this ti, a robotic female voice ca through the receiver saying, "The number you have dialed cannot be reached."
It seed like her number had been blocked?
Ning Xixi’s cheeks puffed up with frustration, Xiao Xichen and Cheng Youran stopped their discussion and curiously asked, "What happened?"
"Xiao Xichen, can you take to Ning Corporation first?" Ning Xixi asked urgently.
"I can, but..." Xiao Xichen was confused, "Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?"
"There’s no ti to explain, get in the car! Youran, you and Ji Yebai go wait for us at the restaurant!"
"Eh?" Cheng Youran looked bewildered as Xiao Xichen’s flashy Lamborghini raced off, leaving a trail of dust.
...
Ning Corporation.
Following her previous mories, Ning Xixi went to the design departnt.
"Where is Manager Lan?" Ning Xixi asked.
A woman in a professional suit stood up and said softly, "Manager Lan just submitted his resignation."
Boom—
Ning Xixi felt as if she had been struck by lightning and stood frozen in place.
Manager Lan was Ning Jingshen’s close friend, they had both fought side by side, and Ning Jingshen had said that Manager Lan was the most trustworthy person.
That’s why Ning Xixi didn’t guard against him and sent all those drafts to him.
"Does anyone know where he has gone?" Ning Xixi asked, her shoulders trembling, making the people in the design departnt feel sympathetic. Soone blurted out, "Lu’s company poached him. There was a contract between Manager Lan and our company, and Lu’s even paid the penalty on his behalf. He’s about to join the design departnt of Lu’s company."
Heh... So that’s how it is. She handed over the drafts to Manager Lan, and then he switched sides to Lu’s.
She blad herself for being too naive, thinking that all people have good hearts, believing that Manager Lan and Ning Jingshen’s brotherhood was profound.
It turns out, in the face of interests, nothing mattered.
Xiao Xichen finally understood and looked at Ning Xixi with sympathy, hesitating to speak, "Sister-in-law..."
"Let’s just go eat," Ning Xixi responded with a forced smile.
...
Xiao Xichen had reserved a table at a Western restaurant. He gentlemanly opened the car door for Ning Xixi, who absent-mindedly entered the restaurant and almost bumped into the revolving door.
A pair of large hands tily caught her. Lifting her head, Ji Yebai frowned and scolded her, "What are you thinking? Don’t you know to watch where you’re walking?!"
Ning Xixi, feeling wronged, threw herself into his arms and buried her face in his chest, as if trying to draw so warmth and strength from him.
Xiao Xichen briefly explained the situation to him. Ji Yebai’s dark eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.
He had seen all of Ning Xixi’s efforts these past days; he wouldn’t let her efforts go to waste!
"Let’s eat first, and let your man think of a plan." He patted Ning Xixi’s head, and Ji Yebai called over a waiter and ordered Ning Xixi’s favorite dishes and desserts.
"Xixi, isn’t that Lu Jinjin on the TV?" Cheng Youran pointed to a nearby LCD TV.
Ning Xixi’s gaze swept over, and on the screen was Lu Jinjin in a bright red dress, youthful and vibrant, with Lu Qinghe standing next to her, talking eloquently to the reporters:
"Thank you, dia friends, for attending Lu’s new product launch. Now, let proudly introduce our genius designer—Lu Jinjin!"
