Chapter 118 He wouldn’t let her leave Jinghai again!

Li Chunfang knocked on the door. "An Ning, when you weren't home this morning, a young man named Xu called our house."

Hearing this, An Ning opened the door and asked, "Xu?"

"Yes, he said his last name was Xu, and he asked where you were. He said he sent you a message this morning but you didn't reply, and he was worried that something had happened to you, so he called."

An Ning opened her cell phone and found an unread text message from Xu Zhijun.

[Ningning, good morning. How are you feeling lately? It's almost the beginning of autumn. You're more susceptible to colds during the changing seasons, so stay warm. If you feel any discomfort, let me know immediately. I heard you mention that important collaboration a while ago. How's it going? Have you discussed any solutions for the collaboration?]

An Ning was about to reply when she suddenly frowned.

An uncertain thought popped up in my mind.

Could it be that Lu Xiyan misunderstood her intention after seeing her text message?

But her phone has a password, so Lu Xiyan shouldn’t be able to open it, right?

Moreover, when they were together before, he never looked through her phone, giving her enough private space and great trust.

"An Ning? Ning Ning?"

Li Chunfang's voice interrupted her thoughts, "What are you thinking about? Mom is asking you a question."

"Hmm?" An Ning put away her phone. "What?"

"Mom, let me ask you, why is this young man surnamed Xu so concerned about you? What's your relationship with him?" Li Chunfang asked curiously, "Did you meet him in Jining City?"

"It's nothing." An Ning said calmly, "Just friends."

"Ordinary friends?"

Li Chunfang obviously didn't believe it. She sent text messages and called home. Could they be ordinary friends?

She suddenly grabbed An Ning's arm and asked seriously, "Could it be Xianxian's father?"

"Of course not." An Ning denied without thinking, "Xianxian has nothing to do with him."

"Then he—"

Li Chunfang wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by An Ning, "He is my psychiatrist."

Li Chunfang swallowed the words, a guilty look on her face, "Oh, it's the doctor."

An Ning was very resistant to Li Chunfang looking at her in that way, just as she was resistant to outsiders looking at her with pity or other eyes knowing that she had depression.

She changed the subject, "Where's Xianxian?"

"Zhao Li took him to the amusement park in the mall. I was just about to go buy some groceries." Li Chunfang asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat? Mom will buy it and cook it for you."

An Ning didn't have much of an appetite, and when she was a child, Li Chunfang rarely cooked anything specially for her. Most of the dishes were made for Yucan.

Now that she was asked this question suddenly, she couldn't even think of the name of a dish.

"How about century egg and lean meat porridge?" Li Chunfang touched her forehead and found that her fever was gone.

"You've just recovered from your cold. Mom, can you make some porridge?"

An Ning nodded, "Anything is fine."

After Li Chunfang left, An Ning opened her phone and looked at the text message. She replied: "I'm fine, don't worry. Thank you, Dr. Xu."

......

Without Lu Xiyan's permission, no servant had entered his bedroom to clean it.

When I opened the door, the familiar cold and solemn air hit me in the face, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Fresh and pleasant smell, like the light gardenia scent.

It's the fragrance of her body.

It is exceptionally clear in a space that does not originally belong to it.

Two unique auras intertwined together, like the two hot bodies entangled last night.

Lu Xiyan walked into the room and was slightly stunned when he saw the messy bed.

Last night, she lay on his bed, hooked her arms around his waist and tempted him to fall into it together.

He even had the delusion that after this night, there would be countless nights to come.

As long as she was serious, he would be willing to take her bait.

Unfortunately, her bait was too obvious, and before he could take a firm bite of the hook, she exposed the rod.

But she didn't choose either the money or the contract, which surprised him a little.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly, he walked to the bed, and picked up a long hair from the pillow with his fingertips.

One end of her hair fell on his wrist, and with the breeze blowing in from the window, it seemed to be entangled on his watch.

His fingertips pressed lightly, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he picked up his cell phone to make a call.

"Make an appointment with Dong Chenghai from Haowei and tell him I want to invite him for a cup of tea."

......

In the high-end private teahouse, the extremely private rooms are filled with the faint fragrance of tea.

Dong Chenghai never dreamed that Lu Xi would invite him out to discuss cooperation.

The man opposite was dressed in a suit and looked young, but his temperament was calm and noble, and his every move exuded the pressure of a superior.

"Boss Lu, has our company's An Ning project proposal been approved?"

Through the curling tea vapor, Dong Chenghai looked at the man sitting opposite him with a humble attitude.

Lu Xiyan skillfully fiddled with the tea set to make tea, without reading a single word of An Ning's project book.

The white porcelain cup filled with tea was pushed in front of Dong Chenghai. "Well, well done."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your praise and appreciation."

Dong Chenghai took the teacup and was secretly delighted.

He knew that An Ning was definitely a money-making tree. As long as An Ning was there, cooperation with Ou Teng was only a matter of time.

Sun Liangying had been following this cooperation for so long but didn't follow through. Instead, she quit two days ago and said she was resigning. An Ning had only been in the company for less than a month and was able to negotiate the cooperation.

It's true that ten Sun Liangyings are no match for one An Ning.

Lu Xiyan placed the contract on the table and said, "This is the preliminary cooperation contract drafted by Oteng's legal department. Mr. Dong, please take a look. If there is no problem, the cooperation will be put on the agenda."

Dong Chenghai quickly picked up the contract and read it quickly. There was nothing wrong with it overall, but when he saw the last point, he frowned.

"Mr. Lu, are you going to transfer An Ning to Ou Teng?"

Lu Xiyan took a sip of tea and raised her eyes slightly. "After the cooperation, the project will be her responsibility. It is more appropriate for her to come to Oteng. I will personally guide the entire project."

Dong Chenghai has been working in the business world for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant - only if An Ning goes to Outeng can this cooperation be successful.

But An Ning had asked him for her resignation a few days ago, and now Lu Xiyan has made such arrangements. Could it be that An Ning didn't resign in order to go to Outeng, or Lu Xiyan didn't know that An Ning was going to resign from Haowei?

Lu Xiyan wants to exchange cooperation for peace?

He pondered for a moment and roughly understood. So, Lu Xiyan had let her join Haowei in order to pave the way for her to join Outeng?

From being the project leader of Haowei to the project leader of Outeng, it is a legitimate step up, which is much more suitable than being parachuted in.

so--

He was even more certain that peace and tranquility must be very important to the president of Oteng.

Of course, for Dong Chenghai, cooperation is the most fundamental goal.

It didn't matter to him where An Ning went.

"There's no problem on Haowei's side."

Dong Chenghai looked embarrassed. "But Mr. Lu, you don't know that An Ning submitted her resignation to me a few days ago."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiyan's expression and didn't seem surprised.

Lu Xiyan's deep eyes were calm, and his face was even more composed.

Resign and go to Suzhou.

He knows.

He wouldn't let her leave Jinghai again!

His slender fingertips tapped the contract on the table, and he smiled calmly, "How to retain a core talent? Mr. Dong doesn't need my instruction, right?"

"Of course not." Dong Chenghai quickly picked up the teacup with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will let An Ning stay."

Lu Xiyan played with the teacup, rolling it lightly with his fingertips, with a hint of smile in his deep eyes.

She had so many tricks up her sleeve that she even ended up in his bed.

He really wanted to see what tricks could be played right under his nose.
