"An Lan, An Lan, where are you going? An Lan, don't go. Fu Yiyi told you that you're mine." Xiao Wen seemed to have thought of something as he took two steps forward and shouted at Ning Anlan.
Ning Anlan stopped in his tracks. He saw that many people had heard Xiao Wen's words. Their faces were filled with doubt. What did this matter between Xiao Wen and Ning Anlan have to do with Fu Yiyi?
Even though Xiao Wen had already said so, Ning Anlan also ignored him. There would come a day when she would settle Fu Yiyi's debt with him. She was in no hurry to settle it.
Seeing that Ning Anlan was getting further and further away, Xiao Wen became anxious. After taking two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground. Everyone burst out into laughter, but he had already fallen asleep.
Fu Yiyi, who had heard the commotion, also rushed over. She was about to collapse when she heard Xiao Wen call out her name. Why did this idiot Xiao Wen call out her name at a time like this?
"Just now …" Ning Anlan wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to explain. She and Xiao Wen had nothing to say and didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Moreover, she and the ancient city was merely in an agreement, she didn't have any obligation to explain anything to the ancient city.
The ancient city looked at her and saw that they had already left. The sunlight outside was shining on Ning Anlan's face, making it seem as if time had passed peacefully. The ancient city turned around, and she knew what Ning Anlan was trying to say.
But even if Ning Anlan hadn't said so, he wouldn't have misunderstood. For an idiot like Xiao Wen, Ning Anlan would only be with him if his brain was crushed by a door.
Compared to Xiao Wen, the Ancient City narrowed its eyes. It felt like the real problem was Bai Wei Xuan.
"Let's go." The ancient city sat in the driver's seat and let Ning Anlan board the carriage. Ning Anlan shook his head and refused.
"You drank." Drinking is not allowed to drive, the ancient city does not cherish life, she cherishes life.
The ancient city frowned. He had thought that Ning Anlan wasn't in his car for some reason, but she had thought that he was drinking.
"Which one of your eyes saw me drinking? I didn't drink, hurry up and get in the car."
Although he couldn't avoid drinking under such circumstances, he was still in the ancient city. If he didn't want to drink, who could force him to?
Ning Anlan still couldn't believe what the ancient city said. Although he said he didn't drink, but … What if he drank it?
"I don't believe it." Ning Anlan frowned. She didn't believe that the ancient city hadn't been drinking.
The ancient city was helpless. Usually, this woman seemed to be heartless, but in the end, she actually cared about her life this much.
"You'll know if I drink or not if you smell it." However, Ning Anlan shook his head. She would definitely not want to hear about it.
Seeing that Ning Anlan had refused, the ancient city's eyes narrowed. He opened the car door and got off, moving in a fluid manner. He walked to Ning Anlan and grabbed her arm, pulling her to his side.
Ning Anlan didn't react for a while. By the time he reacted, he was already leaning against the ancient city. A faint scent of tobacco entered his nose; indeed, there was no smell of alcohol.
But... They seemed to be hugging each other. Ning Anlan tried to get up in a panic, but was stopped by the ancient city.
"How is it, did you drink?" A deep voice rang in his ears. Ning Anlan felt her cheeks turn a little hot, and she quickly shook her head, hoping that the ancient city would release her as soon as possible.
"Get in." Seeing Ning Anlan shake his head, the ancient city let go of her and returned to the driver's seat. Then they turned to look at Ning Anlan, only to see Ning Anlan slowly opening the door and sitting down.
The ancient city left after taking Ning Anlan home. Ning Anlan took off his clothes and took a bath after entering the city. Only then did he feel a little hungry.
Fortunately, there was a lot of food in the fridge, so she didn't want to trouble her auntie anymore.
There was still a project to be discussed tomorrow, so he couldn't be sloppy about it.
Actually, there wasn't anything special about the project, but this time, the competitor was the Gu family.
To put it bluntly, both she and the Gu family had chosen the same item and wanted to win it over. Although the Gu family and the Ning family were part of the Four Great Clans, the internal affairs of the Four Great Clans were still very clear.
The Gu family was the eldest, followed by the Bai family. The Xiao family's momentum over the past two years was also quite strong. Now, the weakest family was the Ning family.
Her chances of competing with the Gu family were actually not that high, because what they offered was actually not as much as what the Gu family could offer. But even so, Ning Anlan still wanted to give it a try.
If they could come to an agreement, it would be a profitable business. Ning Anlan didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
In his previous life, the Gu family had successfully negotiated this project. Therefore, the company's size had expanded, making it even more difficult for people to catch up with the company.
"I need to go to the factory this morning to check on the progress of the construction. At four-thirty in the afternoon, I have a meal with Vice President Chen of the Tianxiang Group. The main purpose is to discuss the new project proposed by the company." A'Chang held a notebook in hand and was reporting on her trip to Ning Anlan. Ning Anlan nodded. Luckily, she didn't travel much today.
After checking up on the factory in the morning, Ning Anlan returned to the company in the afternoon to take care of some matters. Finally, at 4 o'clock, he was done.
There was a lot of work for him today, and he could not get out of it. Ning Anlan looked at his idler and decided to bring him for dinner.
Although she had heard Vice President Chen had a bad reputation, Ning Anlan wasn't afraid. She was a member of the Ning Family of the Four Great Families, so she believed that Vice President Chen wouldn't be so bold as to touch a member of the Four Great Families.
With this thought in mind, Ning Anlan brought shorty along with him.
When they finally arrived at their destination, Ning Anlan looked at the time. It was exactly four-thirty. Although he didn't arrive early, he still wasn't late. It wasn't too rude.
However, upon entering the room, Ning Anlan realized that he was overthinking things. This Vice President Chen had not arrived at all.
Ning Anlan felt his temples throbbing. This Vice President Chen was most likely trying to intimidate her. After all, they had already met the Gu family. It was probably the Gu family that had given them a satisfactory condition.
Therefore, he was already fearless. Even if Ning Anlan didn't sign the contract with them, there was still the Gu family. Besides, the Gu family's conditions were good, so he had the qualifications to back them up.
Ning Anlan wasn't annoyed. He just quietly sat on the chair. It seemed like he would have a tough time eating after a while.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was finally opened by someone. Ning Anlan had not even arrived before the person had made a sound, yet he had already heard Vice President Chen's loud laughter before he had even arrived.
