He had promised Bai Weizxuan that he would go to bed early tonight, but at midnight, Ning Anlan was still conflicted.
If she wanted to open a shop next to the school, then she had to hire a businessman. However, there were so many merchants now, how were they supposed to recruit them?
First, he had to find a clean and hygienic one that was suitable for the students to eat and drink. Then, he had to find a perfect fit with the quaint topic at North Lane. After thinking for a long time, Ning Anlan finally came up with an idea.
The old reputation of being a merchant not only guaranteed their credibility, but also fit the quaint characteristics of the Northern Grace Lane.
"Dismissed." Ning Anlan said and left the meeting room in twos and threes. He rubbed his head and took a big gulp of ice water. He looked a little tired.
She slept at three in the morning, and when she woke up at seven in the morning, she had all kinds of meetings. She was really tired, Ning Anlan sighed.
In less than a minute, everyone had left, leaving only Ning Anlan by herself. She looked at the time, it was five o'clock. It was time to get off work.
"Hello." Ning Anlan didn't look at who it was, and her voice sounded a little tired. She rubbed her head, got up, and prepared to go back to the office to clean up before going home.
"Sister, it's me, Yiyi." Fu Yiyi's voice was brisk, and Ning Anlan frowned. He didn't come here for no reason. He didn't know why Fu Yiyi was looking for him.
"What's the matter?" Ning Anlan's tone was distant, revealing a strong sense of impatience. Fu Yiyi didn't mind. She chuckled and spoke intimately.
"Nothing, I'm just asking if you're off work. I recently heard that you often work overtime, which is bad for your health. Remember to get off work on time and have a good rest. If you get sick, we'll all be worried. "
A cold smile hung on Fu Yiyi's face. However, her words were filled with concern. If anyone else were to hear it, they would definitely think that she truly cared about her.
However, Ning Anlan had already seen through her and wouldn't be tricked by her at all.
"Alright, is there anything else?" Ning Anlan sounded a bit impatient. He didn't know what Fu Yiyi meant by calling her, but he should have hung up earlier.
"Nothing, I was just asking if you had finished work." Fu Yiyi chuckled, showing that she wasn't scheming at all.
Ning Anlan frowned and casually replied, "It's time to get off work."
"That's good. Elder sister, rest early." After saying that, Fu Yiyi hung up without the slightest hesitation.
After Fu Yiyi hung up the phone for a while, Ning Anlan wasn't able to react. What was she trying to say? Was it because she cared about her?
Or was it to confirm that she was not dead? No matter what, Ning Anlan would never believe that Fu Yiyi cared about her, unless it was for an act.
Thinking up to here, Ning Anlan was relieved. Maybe Fu Yiyi was just acting in front of Ning Bo.
Ning Anlan shook his head and forced himself to concentrate. He picked up his bag and headed out the door.
Driving the car on the road, Ning Anlan didn't notice anything at first, but after driving for a while, he felt that something wasn't right.
There was a car following her from the back. Although the tracks were not very obvious, Ning Anlan still noticed it. If it was by chance in the beginning, then Ning Anlan's Jadeite Fragrance Temple was very far away, and there weren't many people staying there. There wasn't that much of a chance of meeting someone on the same road as him.
Just as he was thinking about this, the car behind him suddenly accelerated. Ning Anlan didn't normally drive, and his skill in driving was clearly inferior to the person behind. Soon, the car caught up to Ning Anlan.
"From the corner of his eyes, Ning Anlan saw the car beside him. The window of the car was open. Although it wasn't very clear, it was indeed Xiao Wen."
Ning Anlan gritted his teeth. It seemed like Xiao Wen still hadn't given up. Right now, she still had a sliver of hope. Ning Anlan felt a bit disgusted, but he really couldn't get rid of Xiao Wen. She had no choice but to stop the car.
He had to know what this Xiao Wen wanted to do.
"What do you want to do?" Ning Anlan frowned as he took off his sunglasses and stared coldly at Xiao Wen.
"Me? I don't want to do anything. Don't look at me like that, I really have no ill intentions. I just want to communicate with you. "
Xiao Wen was shameless. He said something that made Ning Anlan grind his teeth in anger. How shameless was this Xiao Wen? She had said it so many times that from now on, there was nothing going on between them. However, she didn't expect him to have forgotten everything.
"I've already said this many times, there is no relationship between us at all, nor is there any feeling we can communicate with each other. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite." The fierce look in Ning Anlan's eyes made Xiao Wen clench his fists.
He really didn't know what had happened. Before he and the ancient city slept in the same house, he had only met a few times, but she had believed Fu Yiyi's words and had a good impression of him.
But for some reason, ever since Ning Anlan fell asleep with the ancient city, she seemed to have become a completely different person. She was completely indifferent to him, and even detested him.
Xiao Wen, who had always been surrounded by women, was naturally very angry at Ning Anlan's attitude. However, thinking about it, this kind of attitude from Ning Anlan was more likely to arouse his desire for conquest.
"An Lan, what exactly are you? Why did you suddenly treat me like this? I know you were forced to be together with the ancient city, so I don't mind you. Although you've gone with other men, I know you didn't willingly do it, so stop messing around. I really don't hate you.
Xiao Wen's affectionate look really made Ning Anlan want to vomit. She forced herself to calm down and let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll say it again, I have nothing to do with you, and I've never been with you before, so I ask you to stop bothering me in the future." As Ning Anlan spoke, he clutched the anti-wolf spray in his hand.
"Don't be like this, I'm serious." As Xiao Wen said this, he walked towards Ning Anlan.
"Don't come over, just stand there and don't move. I'm warning you, if you take one more step forward, I'll be rude to you." Ning Anlan bit her lips and quietly opened the cover of the anti-wolf spray. The anti-wolf spray in her hand had not been prepared in vain. She had indeed used it today.
To be honest, Ning Anlan had only specially prepared himself for today's events because he was afraid that something like this might happen.
