Although Jiang Jia Han was angry, he really wanted to rush in front of An Ning and ask her what had happened. However, when he thought of her cold and mocking expression, Jiang Jia Han stopped in his tracks.
In fact, he was even more afraid that every time he met An Ning, she would always insist on asking him about the divorce.
The weekend was always short, but this weekend was excruciating for Jiang Xiushan. He wanted to see An Ning, and the itch in his heart was hard to endure. He was also afraid that An Ning would be robbed of her hope.
An Ning earnestly finished her manuscript, just like she always did. However, Jiang Xianxing wasn't only paying silent attention to her, like he was used to. He was afraid that if he didn't appear in front of her now, she wouldn't even be able to remember him.
"Madam." It had been a long time since she had heard this form of address. Her first thought was to check if her colleagues in the vicinity had heard of it; she didn't want her relationship with Jiang Han to be known to outsiders. Otherwise, once the divorce proceedings were over, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
An Ning put down her pen. "Is something the matter?"
"Director Jiang asked me to call you at the office."
He just needed to go to the office and make a phone call. Why did he specifically ask Lu Yan to come over? What did Jiang XiHan want to express?
An Ning thought that Jiang Jia Han was thinking about how to deal with her, but she was actually thinking too much. Jiang Jia Han just couldn't force himself to call her that.
After sending Lu Yan off to get An Ning, Jiang Jia quickly slipped into the bathroom to straighten his collar and hair. He looked around and decided that he was done.
Jiang Jia was sitting in his seat with a serious expression on his face, but he didn't see An Ning come up even after waiting for a long time.
Why hasn't he come yet? Jiang Jian could not help but blame Lu Yan in his heart.
It took him so long to get him to call someone, and he was getting lazier and lazier.
If Lu Yan knew the true thoughts of their CEO, he'd probably spit out blood. He'd only be down for two minutes and be despised by Jiang Jia Han in such a way.
Anxious, Jiang Jia paced back and forth near his desk, occasionally glancing at the door. If the Jiang employees were to see their revered and dependent CEO like this, they would not know what it would be like.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from not too far away, he knew from the sound of the footsteps that it must be An Ning.
Lu Yan brought An Ning along and symbolically knocked on the office door, "Director Jiang, the madam is here."
Jiang Jia raised his head with a cold expression, and without a shred of emotion in his eyes, Lu Yan tactfully walked away.
"Director Jiang, you were looking for me?"
Since Jiang Jia was wearing a cold attire, she naturally had to accompany him.
"Come here —" An Ning stepped forward and saw Jiang Xiushan throw out a stack of documents, "Collect these documents."
An Ning glanced at it and knew that it was the financial report from a few months ago. The finance department had already organized it a long time ago.
Jiang Jia Han wanted to intentionally make things difficult for her, but An Ning's anger was instantly dampened. However, she quickly got over it. Anyways, even if she had to give him the same salary as Jiang Jia Han, he would still give her the same salary.
"Alright." An Ning was unusually good-natured. Jiang Xianxian's face was so cold that it looked as if it was about to collapse. Even if she couldn't refuse, her face would still show some unhappiness. This was way too much.
An Ning picked up the document and sat down beside Jiang Xiushan's desk to patiently organize the messy financial statements. The clear and gentle sunlight shone down on her face, and even though it was just an ordinary professional attire, An Ning was sitting by the side right now.
Jiang Jian couldn't help but stare blankly. An Ning carefully arranged herself, but didn't notice the burning gaze above her head.
After an unknown amount of time, An Ning exhaled and used a spiral needle to sort out the report.
"Director Jiang, it's already been sorted." She presented the document to Jiang Xianhan with both hands, but he didn't reach out to take it. An Ning had no choice but to place the document on his desk.
She had just put down Jiang Jianhan's cold voice when she spoke again. "Make five more copies of these documents."
As expected, it was all because of him. As soon as Jiang XiHan finished his words, An Ning confirmed his intentions. How did she make him unhappy? Yet, she had to find trouble for no reason.
However, An Ning knew that being angry would only make her even colder. How could she let Jiang Jian's scheme succeed? She took the document out of the office with an incredibly good attitude.
Coincidentally, the photocopier on the top floor was broken, so An Ning copied it from the 48th floor. She was still considered a famous designer in the Jiang family, yet Jiang Xihan had sent her to do this kind of odd work. Many of her colleagues on the 48th floor were filled with schadenfreude.
Previously, Jiang Jia Han and An Ning's relationship had been very popular in the company. However, after a few female colleagues ridiculed her for a few sentences, they immediately ordered the company to reorganize itself, saying that they shouldn't secretly try any tricks.
During that time, An Ning was especially ostracized in the company, who could not see that CEO Jiang was trying to avenge An Ning?
Some people always felt that the people around them, who were clearly on the same starting line, were better than them. In their eyes, those people who were on the same starting line as them but climbed faster than them were just doing something unorthodox and using some underhanded method to achieve their goals.
Unable to achieve what they wanted, they began to fan the flames around, unable to eat the kind of people who say grapes are sour.
Seeing that An Ning had been sent out to do such menial work, that group of sharp-tongued female colleagues immediately concluded that An Ning must have offended the CEO somehow, so they started to speak sourly without a care in the world.
"Yo, who is this? Isn't he our architect?"
"Yeah, why isn't he at the design department copying all the documents?"
The two people who were trying to find fault with An Ning were the ones who usually targeted her the most.
"I think it must be an important document. Otherwise, why would our designer personally print it?"
The two of them sang the same tune, and An Ning had no chance to interrupt.
"That's right, such an important document. Can designer An let us take a look at it?"
An Ning finished copying and stood up. "I'm sorry, I'm very busy."
How could the two of them be willing to let her off so easily? The tall one of the two directly snatched the document from An Ning's hands.
"Eh, financial report?" The female colleague pretended to be suspicious, "designer An, are you still in charge of the finance department's report?"
An Ning didn't want to answer them. She retrieved the document and returned it to them. Before An Ning had returned to the CEO's office, Lu Yan had told her that An Ning had just been ridiculed by her colleagues for making things difficult for her.
Jiang Jia could not help but feel a little guilty. He was too impulsive, and never took into account An Ning's situation.
An Ning had originally thought that Jiang Jia would continue to make things difficult for her after printing the documents, but didn't expect that she would just leave. She felt that she was less and less aware of Jiang Jia's coldness now.
