The way Xu Mengyun was dressed and the way she was made of all those accessories were all brought closer to Ning Caier. She couldn't really say that she liked this kind of person, but she subconsciously hoped that Ouyang Jue would.
In this period of time when they had been keeping their distance, Xu Mengyun had not forgotten about her feelings for Ouyang Jue, but had instead become more and more intense. If the person he liked could only be Ning Caier, then she was willing to give up her identity and become Ning Caier to live together with him.
Xu Mengyun's and Ouyang Jue's lives were never warm, and they would sometimes be urged to marry and ask for the date of marriage. The two of them had a very tacit agreement to not answer, and this made Ouyang Gu anxious.
He, who had already been absent from Tian Ao for a long time, had no choice but to come to Ouyang Jue's office once again, reminding him to put more effort into Xu Mengyun when she was on official business. Right now, there were even more berserk bees and butterflies around her than before, and there was no lack of young people from influential families.
"We know about Meng Yun and I. Dad, you don't need to worry about it."
Ouyang Jue was in a good mood today, he was tidying up his collar in front of the mirror, and the suit he was wearing was also particularly straight. Ouyang Gu could smell the familiar scent of ancient dragon water, this kind of ancient water with the musk smell was specially made to be used as courtship, the Ouyang Gu who was well versed in it naturally knew, he immediately understood that Ouyang Jue did not want him to worry, he had already prepared in advance.
"That's none of your business. However, you all aren't young anymore, so it's best if you can have a child as soon as possible. While I'm still healthy, you can even teach him the ways of business."
Ouyang Gu nodded her head in satisfaction, and supported himself out of the office. Recently, he was feeling especially good, because according to the legends, Bai Tianlong had passed away.
This kind of thing was impossible to verify because there were many patients who had no owner, and in the end, all of them were buried in the same cemetery. Moreover, in order to save space, everyone had scattered their ashes on the ground and turned them into fertilizer trees, making it impossible to tell which ones were Bai Tianlong's ashes.
This kind of natural method was respected by many rich people, but no rich person would actually do it. This was because in everyone's eyes, it was called a dead corpse.
Moreover, the Bai Group was currently in the hands of his future daughter-in-law. If Xu Mengyun and Xu Mengyun were to get married, it would be equivalent to him buying the Bai's disease, and this would become a legend in the business world for a hundred years.
Ouyang Gu was in the car having beautiful dreams of carrying her grandson. However, he did not expect Ouyang Jue to be dressed up like this today, not to go see Xu Mengyun, but to meet him at the airport. It was because Ning Caier had returned today.
"Lao Wu, the plane hasn't arrived yet?"
Ouyang Jue had not seen Ning Caier for a few months, although there was a phone number between the two of them, every time she called he would ask him about something. Ouyang Jue did not dare to tell her that the courtyard was already burnt down, so he lied and said that he had arranged a job for Han Yuqi.
However, this kind of gentleness on the phone could never solve the pain of being in love with Ouyang Jue. Now that Ouyang Jue wanted to see a real, living person, he wanted to give her a tight hug.
"Young master, we've been here for more than an hour, why don't you go to the resting room first? Miss Ning still has to take her luggage, she didn't come out so quickly."
Driver Old Wu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ouyang Jue pacing back and forth. Receiving an airplane didn't need to be checked for a long time, even if he was desperate, he couldn't let the plane land early.
"I'm not going. What if the plane lands early? You have to know that in the history of aerospace, there are precedents where the plane landed early."
Ouyang Jue stood at the entrance and raised his head to look at the people coming and going inside. There were indeed precedents of people landing early in space history, but the probability of that happening was one in a million. Ouyang Jue was naturally not that lucky today. He stood at the departure gate for more than two hours, waiting for the Ning Caier he had been hoping for.
"Long time no see, design of Ning University."
When Ouyang Jue saw Ning Caier, he greeted her loudly. Ning Caier's identity in the country was different from before. She was now a designer who had taken the international prize and even went to the red carpet to get the movie award ceremony with the celebrities wearing her clothes. This kind of designer who had won awards abroad was extremely popular right now. Even if Ouyang Jue didn't come for a while, he would be taken away by someone else.
"Why are you the only one here?"
Ning Caier looked behind Ouyang Jue, she had always wished for Han Yuqi to come and fetch her, and in this period of time, she had saved up every single cent she earned, other than repaying Xu Mengyun's loan, she also had a lot of extra money. Originally, she wanted to personally give this money to Han Yuqi, so that he could improve his own life.
"I've already given you a lot of face by coming here alone. Could it be that you want Mengyun to come with me? She's a very busy person."
Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier was referring to Han Yuqi, so he intentionally avoided him. He had never been able to find out anything about that man, nor did he even know if he was dead or alive, and this only made him lie more and more. This was also the biggest worry he had for Ning Caier's return, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide his lie.
"I didn't mean that. How could I not know how busy Miss Xu is? Have you forgotten that she is my boss?"
As expected, Ning Caier did not pursue the matter any further as she sat in Ouyang Jue's car. This time, when she returned back to the country, not only did she come back to visit her parents, she also brought up the brand in the country. This forced her to go to Xu's to report and cooperate with her parent's company in carrying out their related businesses.
"Then how about I call your boss over to help you get the wind today?"
Ouyang Jue intentionally pulled Xu Mengyun along, because he felt that she would definitely not come to such an awkward place. He did not expect her words to be true, and that Xu Mengyun was true as well, to actually take time out of her busy schedule to come to this welcome feast that originally had only two people.
The moment Xu Mengyun appeared in the private restaurant, the hands that were suspended in midair were frozen still. She had prepared many pleasant surprise today, but if Xu Mengyun was sitting next to her, these were not pleasant surprise but fright.
However, Ouyang Jue's struggle within his heart was completely useless. Xu Mengyun naturally sat beside him, and Ning Caier also naturally sat opposite to him. The two female protagonists had extremely calm and collected expressions, as if eating together was a very common occurrence.
"Cai'er, about tomorrow's press conference, you have to add two more important points. This is the next stage of our company's business, so we should take this opportunity to advertise it, to let everyone have an impression of it."
She did not even realize that the food had already been served. Recently, her work condition had returned to its original efficiency, and in order to make up for the work that she did previously, she worked even harder than before. Even Ouyang Jue could see that she was wearing black circles under her eyes.
"I arranged this dinner specially. Business is prohibited at the table."
Ouyang Jue had no choice but to brush away the feeling of his own existence. He gave the two bundles of blue demoness to Ning Caier and Xu Mengyun respectively, and the words spoken in these bundles of flowers were filled with mystery. Giving it to the two of them today was especially appropriate, because he really did not notice that the two of them were working together. Since when did they become so well-coordinated?
"Ouyang, your gift to your fiancée and employee doesn't seem to conform with your EQ rules."
Actually, she was pretty happy that she received the same gift as Ning Caier, which at least showed that her position in Ouyang Jue's heart had risen a little. However, she still had to announce her status as the legal wife today. Her goal was to let Ning Caier go, because …
"Miss Xu is right, such a precious flower is indeed not suitable for me." Seeing Xu Mengyun's gloomy expression, Ning Caier hurriedly passed over her flowers. Of course she knew her position in the group, even if she had some results now, thanks to Xu Mengyun and Ouyang Jue's appreciation, she would definitely not dare to enjoy the same treatment as her.
"This flower is indeed not good. You can all take it down, don't ruin everyone's mood to eat." Ouyang Jue had the waiter take away both the flowers. Originally, he had prepared two portions of all the gifts today, thinking that he would be absolutely safe with this. However, he really didn't understand women's jealous thoughts, and cared about one word the most.
He had originally wanted to observe how Ouyang Jue enjoyed the blessings of being with the others, but he did not expect that not only did he not enjoy the blessings, he even seemed to have suffered a lot.
This welcoming feast was extremely awkward for Xu Mengyun. The food in front of him did not even move, and only continued to drink the champagne in her wine cup. This gloomy atmosphere made the two people beside him have no appetite.
Even after such a long time had passed since the events of the engagement banquet, Xu Mengyun still hadn't made any moves to rush in, nor did she have any intention of getting closer to him.
"CEO, Miss Xu, I still have some matters to attend to so I'll be taking my leave." Ning Caier really could not stay any longer, and her thoughts were not here as well. She could not wait for the end of the meal so that she could inquire about Han Yuqi's information. Although Ouyang Jue would occasionally mention it, it was not enough for her.
"I'll have Lao Wu send you back, I'll set up another banquet for you another day." Ouyang Jue's expression was also somewhat unhappy, but he still sat on the chair without moving, and only after Ning Caier had left did he turn his head to ask Xu Mengyun.
"Is there news of that matter?"
"Indeed, and the situation isn't too good."
Xu Mengyun drank all the wine in front of him in one gulp. In this period of time, Ouyang Jue had been constantly asking about where Han Yuqi and Bai Youya were, so Xu Mengyun naturally helped him pay more attention to this matter. However, the result of this event caused everyone to be greatly shocked, because these two people had suddenly gotten rich.
"Private fund?" Ouyang Jue knew that something was amiss when he heard Xu Mengyun mention this name. She was very clear on how much money they had in their hands, with their current situation, they wouldn't be able to receive any big projects nor attract any investment from a large consortium. Therefore, the essence of this private fund could only be a scam.
