Ning Anlan didn't plan to pay any attention to these people. He couldn't explain things clearly to them, and would only make things worse.
"Miss Ning, please explain the matter of pressure on the employees." These people did not plan on letting her go. Even though Ah Gou was by her side, how could he stop so many people by himself?
Ning Anlan frowned. For the first time, she felt that the company's entrance was so far away from her. The feeling of being a little powerless made her feel flustered.
The dim memories of his past life suddenly resurfaced, and Ning Anlan felt a bit dizzy.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally entered the company's main entrance, closing off the noise behind her.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the media would report everything: If the request came to naught, the young miss of the Ning family would openly refuse to respond!
She had already sent people to find evidence, but it might be a little slow. The people outside wouldn't give her that much time. There was no evidence at hand, and anything she said was of no use.
After some consideration, Ning Anlan decided to meet Old Mao. If Old Mao really did get sick from exhaustion, then she really should go and take a look.
This time, Ning Anlan learned his lesson and left through the back door. Not many people knew about this place, only a few reporters were standing here and there.
Ning Anlan frowned, and sent Ah Geng to attract their attention.
When they finally made it out of the hospital, Ning Anlan waited for A'Chang for a while, then the two rushed to the hospital together. After staying in the ward for almost two hours, Ning Anlan was already somewhat emboldened when he came out.
However, he hadn't found the mastermind yet. Now wasn't the time to reveal his cards.
Ning Anlan didn't go back to the office. He had been working at home for three days now, and the door to the mansion had been filled with memories of his arrival. He looked inside one by one.
After taking care of the work on his hands, Ning Anlan drank a glass of water and received a call from the ancient city.
"Hello."
"Come out for a meal." The ancient city's voice was deep, and its tone carried a hint of unwillingness. He fiddled with a recorder pen.
Ning Anlan frowned. "No time."
She actually wanted to leave, but those people at the door weren't decorations. They wouldn't let her slip away.
The ancient city didn't get annoyed when they heard her crisp rejection. She lightly tapped the table with her fingers. One could already imagine the expression on Ning Anlan's face.
"If I remember correctly, you still owe me five million. I'm your creditor now." The ancient city suddenly said.
Ning Anlan didn't expect that the ancient city would threaten her with this. He was so angry that he almost threw the cup down from the window.
"Location?"
The ancient city said a place and added, "You have an hour."
The appointed time was almost upon them. As soon as Ning Anlan arrived, the ancient city had already finished three cups of coffee.
It was still the same restaurant where they had last eaten. The fragrance of the food was very rich. Ning Anlan hadn't eaten much these days. When he smelled the fragrance, his mood improved a lot.
"Is that okay?"
A middle-aged man's voice broke into Ning Anlan's eardrums. He was stunned for a moment. If he hadn't seen the ancient city sitting there, he really would have thought that he had entered the wrong room.
"Of course, let's join up with the media and spread the news. I don't believe that a music girl like her can do anything about it."
The other party seemed to be deep in thought for a moment. Then, he placed his hand on a row of tables and said, "Alright, let's do it!"
"She's new here, she'll definitely be flustered when she encounters something like this. When the time comes, our joint board of directors will …" Even if she wanted to, she would not be able to investigate this kind of thing! "
"Old Liu, don't worry. She's just a little girl, but she dares to fire you. We won't be able to let her continue staying in the company."
The person who was called Old Liu was Liu Changqing, who had been scolded by Ning Anlan in front of everyone, "Help me keep an eye on this, and after that, I won't forget your benefits!"
The vulgar voice sounded again and again. Ning Anlan wanted to vomit, she had already recognized that it was Liu Changqing, the idiot who was fired by her.
He didn't expect that after leaving the company, he would still be able to cause trouble.
Ning Anlan calmed himself down, and his eyes fell on the recording pen in the ancient city's hands. Did this man ask her out for this?
Thinking about this, she might have misunderstood the ancient city. Thinking about this, Ning Anlan's hand unconsciously reached for the recording pen, but he was caught by the ancient city halfway down the road.
"You want it?"
A deep voice rang in his ears. Ning Anlan stared blankly for a moment, knowing that he was feeling anxious.
"This recording …" Ning Anlan frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. Didn't Ancient City bring this recording to her?
"I accidentally stumbled upon it and secretly recorded it." The ancient city's recording pen was in his hand, purposefully waving it in front of Ning Anlan's eyes.
If Ming Qing heard the ancient city say that, she would spit out blood. This recording was obviously done with great effort, but the ancient city said it so casually.
Ning Anlan frowned. He didn't really understand what the ancient city was trying to do. He must have some motive, otherwise he wouldn't have brought this recording over.
"Then, Young Master Gu didn't bring this recording over just to make me envious, right?"
Ning Anlan looked straight into the eyes of the ancient city, as if trying to discern something from them. However, the eyes of the ancient city were like a deep pool, calm and peaceful. Ning Anlan couldn't see through them, so he simply stopped looking at them.
"I know, this is very useful for you." The ancient city looked at the recording pen, then looked at Ning Anlan. Indeed, there was a trace of longing in Ning Anlan's eyes.
"Say it, your conditions?" Ning Anlan sat on the opposite side of the ancient city, ready to negotiate with him.
Since they were cooperating, if they wanted to obtain something, they would have to pay an equal price.
No matter how he got hold of this recording, Ning Anlan wasn't stupid enough to think that he could casually give it to her.
"You owe me another one." The ancient city fell silent for a few seconds before placing the recorder in Ning Anlan's hand.
Ning Anlan was slightly surprised. "That's it?"
She didn't expect the ancient city to give her the recording pen so easily. She was already prepared to bargain, but the result was like this.
"And then?" Ning Anlan stared at the man in front of him. He had a nagging feeling that things had gone too smoothly.
"This recording pen, five hundred thousand dollars, is in your debt." The ancient city raised an eyebrow. "Of course, you decide whether to buy it or not, I won't force you."
Ning Anlan's eyes widened abruptly as she resisted the urge to flip the table and hit him. At this moment, there were only four words in her head. "Take advantage of the fire to rob people!"
When he thought about what the ancient city had said about her not paying up, Ning Anlan's face darkened.
I already knew that he wasn't that kind, this damn man!
"What are you going to do next?"
Ning Anlan was still glaring at him. The ancient city had already begun to eat its dishes calmly. The entire table was filled with Ning Anlan's favorite flavors.
"I'll hold a press conference tomorrow." Ning Anlan narrowed her eyes. With the evidence in her hands, she would not let Liu Changqing off.
