Chapter 449 - Not Worth It

The following morning, Shangguan Ning was sitting in the office of Jingsheng Enterprise and was dealing with the documents accumulated from previous period. Lu, like before, was sitting on the sofa next to her, licking a face-sized lollipop in delight.

Shangguan Ning was used to the two-faced Lu. She was amazed inside her heart, but somehow had a faint idea about what was going on with her. She, however, did not intend to dig any deeper into it.

As noon approached, Anna at the reception called and said that a Mr. Xie was asking for her.

Shangguan Ning’s face sunk when she heard about it.

She didn’t want to meet Xie Zhuojun but she had to. Otherwise he would not leave the company.

Jing Yichen was also at the company today. The media had started to reveal all sorts of information about the new President of Jingsheng Enterprise after their wedding.

Jing Yichen’s appearance in the public’s vision was like a bomb that had just exploded. He was noble, cold, and handsome. His tremendously powerful family background had made him the sensational headline of all media channels.

He was more popular than most stars, especially after he appeared in the interview at the economical channel of A City. He had become the number one personality in A City, so quickly.

Although Jing Yichen had said clearly that he was married when the gossiping beautiful hostess of the economic channel asked him about his marital status, there were still a group of women who were crazily fascinated by him and adored him.

Many people gushed into the office building of Jingsheng Enterprise and asked for the autograph or a picture with Master Jing, or even dared ask for a kiss…

Recently, large numbers of resumes were sent to HR of the enterprise and almost all of them were women. Of course, some young and handsome men also showed frenzied feeling towards President Jing.

There had been many gifts and letters from fans of the entire national delivered to the PR Department of the enterprise. All the presents meant for the President would be received by the PR Department before being opened, stored into the warehouse and answered in the tone of the President.

Also, some gifts might contain some dangerous goods, which might be threatening to the President. So the PR Department was very strict about the incoming gifts.

Naturally, when the outsiders got fascinated by Jing Yichen, they were also very interested in his wife. They were obsessed in digging out every piece about the lady of Family Jing, including her family and background.

But Jing Yichen had already foreseen that. He concealed everything about Shangguan Ning and no one was able to find out anything about her.

Shangguan Ning was not even in the same car as Jing Yichen these days. Instead, she drove the little “tank” to the company.

When Xie Zhuojun came to her today, she needed to deal with him as quickly as possible and as well as possible, in case some complications occurred.

What if the media caught some stuff and gossiped about her and Xie Zhuojun, then it would be horrible.

Shangguan Ning cared a great deal about Jing Yichen. He was a proud man who loved her so much. She didn’t want to have any conflicts with him just because of Xie Zhuojun.

There were still many women gushing on to the first floor. Although the bodyguards already set up the barricade and stopped them from approaching, the first floor was still a dangerous zone.

Shangguan Ning met Xie Zhuojun in the guest room located on the third floor.

Xie Zhuojun looked better today than the other day. He looked exhausted and aged, but at least he was wearing a well made suit and his hair was neatly arranged as well.

Xie Zhuojun got a bit absent minded the moment he caught sight of Shangguan Ning.

He had never expected that they would reach the stage where they were right now. He became a failure, full of drawbacks and lingering at the edge of bankruptcy whilst she had become so resplendent and progressed to a successful career and marriage. She was like a rose that had been wetted by the dew and gave out endless radiance, crushing him, a wobbly weed, into the dust.

Did he regret it?

The sourness and the pain inside Xie Zhuojun’s heart instantly consumed him.

He did.

He regretted everything and he hated himself so much for having been immature and conceited. He hated himself for being blind so as to let go of such a brilliant woman.

Shangguan Ning was dressed in a black professional suit. The long, slim pants draped over her straight legs and the pair of black flat heel shoes had a sprinkling of gold, making her look capable and elegant.

She was also wearing a ruby necklace, diamond ear studs, white gold wedding ring as well as an inconspicuous watch which was worth tens of millions.

But all of those ornaments were just decorations for her. Even the ruby and the diamonds could not take away the brilliance of her eyes.

Xie Zhuojun had been with many beautiful women, like Shangguan Rouxue, for example.

But he could still get distracted by Shangguan Ning every time. He understood clearly that he was not worthy of her anymore, or maybe, had never been.

Shangguan Ning got a bit displeased seeing Xie Zhuojun’s stare.

“Mr. Xie, I have told you many times that you are not allowed to enter our company as you wish. I am a busy woman. If you are here for that collaboration, I am sorry, but I can’t and will not collaborate with you. I won’t change the decision I made.”

Shangguan Ning sounded poised and distant.

Xie Zhuojun struggled to come out of the agonizing emotions and tried to respond in a seemingly calm way. “I am not here for the collaboration. I just want you to allow Luo Rong back to work. You shouldn’t have fired him. Leave him out of our feud. He is innocent.”
