Both Xian Guiying and Wei Zhengsheng were discussing their plans on the land when the assistant to the secretary knocked on the door and came in. "President Xian, Sister Dai told me to find the original contract that Qin Corporation signed with us three years ago for you. Here it is."
"Put it here." Xian Guiying pointed at the table. When Wei Zhengsheng heard it, he couldn't help but look at her. "Are you planning to stop the corporation or renew it?"
After the assistant of the secretary left, Xian Guiying took the original contract and looked at it. "Whether we renew it or not, we have to see Qin Gengxin's sincerity first. Because of his relationship with my brother, these two companies, Qin and Xian, always maintain balanced profit cooperation for many years. Still, the speed of Qin Corporation's expansion in these few years is faster than before. I think, if we continue to follow the previous percentage, this contract will no longer be a profit for Xian, but a threat for us."
"So? Should I talk to the person in charge of this project before the contract expires?" Wei Zhensheng raised his eyebrows.
Xian Guiying smirked. "I'll go."
Wei Zhengsheng's gaze froze, and his calm eyes became a little cold, "You want to go there by yourself?"
Xian Guiying curled her lips. "Previously, cooperation between Xian and Qin was all decided by my brother and Qin Gengxin, and each time, the agreement was signed until the last time, Qin Gengxin preferred to call my brother from afar. But this time, I will handle it."
"No." Wei Zhengsheng said, "I will go, or I will send the executive in charge of this project. You can't go."
"Why can't I go?" Xian Guiying raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Wei Zhengsheng looked at her. "Guiying, I don't care about the current situation between you and Qin Gengxin, but if you're personally heading to Qin Corporation, I don't know how he'll choose to accept you, or ..." He paused. "After all, not many people know that the two of you are married. I don't want you to see something that shouldn't have happened while you're there."
Xian Guiying was stunned as if she could tell that there was a secret behind his words. "What are you talking about?"
Wei Zhensheng pursed his lip, continued looking at Xian Guiying before he sighed. "I will go with you."
Xian Guiying immediately laughed, "It's not like I relied on you for everything when I just took over the company. After so many years, I can still take responsibility for everything, and you can just stay at the company to handle the matter of Zaozhuang's land. I'll settle the contract with Qin."
While she was going through the contract, she looked down at the other files in front of her.
Seeing her serious expression as she looked at the contract, Wei Zhengsheng wanted to say that he saw Bai Nuying near Qin Corporation with an employee badge on her chest two days ago. At that time, it was noon, and Qin Gengxin was the one who personally drove her back to the company.
Wei Zhengsheng knew that Bai Nuying just graduate. After what he had seen and known all this time, he suspected that she was sent to Qin Corporation by Mrs. Bai.
However, as the words reached his mouth and when he saw Xian Guiying's earnest expression, he faintly sighed and did not speak in the end.
In the end, there were some paths that Xian Guiying should still walk, right? Even if he wanted to help her, he should at least be moderate. Sometimes, it might be better if she could see it for herself.
Therefore, he didn't say anything else and just looked at the corporation files with her before she left the Xian Enterprise

Qin Corporation.
Qin Gengxin had just returned after a lunch break to deal with some matters. Once he was done with it, he needed to meet with one of the Qin Corporation's partners to drink tea and talk about some things. Just when he picked up the folder on the table and was about to leave, there was a knock on the office door.
He paused for a moment, took a glance at the tightly shut office door, and said, "Come in." Then he turned around and picked up the car keys from his desk.
"President Qin." Bai Nuying pushed the door open and entered while holding a steaming hot cup of coffee. She was looking at him enthusiastically, "Have you had lunch? When I returned from lunch with my friends, I had just heard that Assistant Huang was on vacation today and thought that the rest of your employees must too busy to make your coffee, so I just went to make you a cup of coffee."
After saying that, she walked over with a smile and put the cup on his desk.
When Qin Gengxin saw this, he said, "I don't drink much coffee. Are you done with your work? How could you have the time to come to this level?"
Bai Nuying stick her tongue out and since she knew there was still at the company and the employees outside could see them from the transparent window, she didn't dare to get so closed. She said seriously, "I'm concerned about my superior's health!"
Qin Gengxin sighed and said, "Go back to work. I have something to do, so I will not be in the company. If you have any questions, go to the secretary or call Assistant Huang."
When Bai Nuying heard he wasn't at the company, she was surprised and then a little disappointed. "Ah, I was still hoping to discuss something with you. I've been assigned to the business department by Assistant Huang and now I'm serving tea every day to old employees, but I've also heard that they complain about their wages all day, so I want to discuss it with you."
Qin Gengxin laughed. "The Finance Department and Personnel Department are in charge of this. I don't care about it. Besides, there's no need for you to worry about it right now."
Bai Nuying nodded. "Aren't you saying that after three months of internship, I'll be able to take part in official jobs? I have to live in Boston and also have to earn money to support myself. Well, I've made a bet with my mom that I don't even need any penny from her account to live my life here. I want to prove to her that I can be independent!"
Qin Gengxin smiled, "Alright, wait until I come back to discuss your salary. If you're short of money, then find me."
After saying that, Qin Gengxin picked up the key and turned to leave. Just as he was about to leave, Bai Nuying's face suddenly turned pale.
Qin Gengxin had only glanced at her and was about to ask her to leave the office as well when he saw her face turn deathly pale.
Bai Nuying covered her stomach with her hands and grunt in pain.
"What's wrong with you?"
Bai Nuying didn't expect Qin Gengxin to turn around so suddenly. She quickly put down her hands that were covering her stomach and forcefully pursed her lips. "It's nothing. Maybe I overate in the afternoon, so my stomach hurts a little."
If she only felt a stomachache, how could her face be so pale then?
Qin Gengxin glanced at his watch before walking over and placing his hand on her forehead. She had no symptoms of fever or illness. He put his hands down, glanced at her, and said seriously, "If you're not feeling well, I'll let you go back and rest."
"I'm fine. I'm really fine." Bai Nuying took a step back and shook her head. "You can go handle your matter; I'll go back to the office to work."
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned and raised her hand to cover her stomach. It seemed that the pain was even worse now. She bent her body slightly and a trace of pain appeared on her face.
Seeing that she was in great pain, Qin Gengxin frowned, reaching out to support her shoulders. "You can sit in my office, and I'll call the doctor."
"There's no need."
"Go over there." Qin Gengxin pointed to the private rest area across from the office with a serious expression.
Bai Nuying was under his care and he couldn't let her endured the pain alone.
"President Qin, I'm really fine. I--" Halfway through her words, Qin Gengxin noticed her eyes turned red. Bai Nuying pursed her lips, seemingly very happy at his concern. Embarrassed but unwilling to refuse, she obediently entered his private resting room.
Xian Enterprise's private commercial vehicles were parked opposite the Qin Corporation Building. As Secretary Dai sat in the front passenger seat, she looked back at Xian Guiying, who was about to get out of the car. "Can you really come straight here without making an appointment?"
Xian Guiying's mind flashed to the scene where Qin Gengxin pressing her down on the bed that day. She came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Sis Dai, we are not only partners with Qin Corporation that have existed for more than ten years, but I am also his wife, regardless of whether he admits it or not."
Yes, regardless of whether he admitted it or not, she would not give in to his words that day. Qin Gengxin refused to go home these few days, and since these matters had come to this, Xian Guiying did not want to delay it any longer.
Whether the outcome was good or not, she just wanted to be happy.
Although the reason to come here for the contract was rather despicable, Xian Guiying was temporarily unable to find a better way to meet him.
