Chapter 117 South Branch, let's order a few male models.
Wei Chizheng did not deliberately avoid Xie Nanzhi and answered Mu Jiaojiao's call in front of her.
Wei Chizheng held his phone tightly. "What's wrong?"
Mu Jiaojiao said, "Azheng, I'm back in China. I'll arrive at Beijing Airport at four in the morning. Come pick me up."
Wei Chizheng didn't hesitate for a moment, "Okay."
Mu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That's all for now, we'll talk when we meet."
The brief call lasted less than a minute, but Xie Nanzhi heard a pleasant voice coming from the receiver. Just by listening to the voice, she could tell what kind of woman was on the other end.
As Wei Chizheng hung up the phone, Xie Nanzhi noticed the red ribbon on his wrist.
Xie Nanzhi noticed them the moment they met.
For a man with both wealth and power to wear a woman's red ribbon at all times, the owner of the ribbon must be someone he cares about very much.
Could it be this "Jiaojiao" from the phone call?
Wei Chizheng covered the wound with iodine and arranged the cotton swabs. He stood tall and straight in front of her. "Don't get this foot wet recently. If the wound is still red, go to the hospital immediately."
Xie Nanzhi felt a strange unease and gave a lukewarm "hmm," her brows furrowing slightly.
Seeing Xie Nanzhi's impatient expression, his brows furrowed.
When they parted last time, she said she didn't want to have anything to do with him again.
But today, he took it upon himself to appear in front of her again, so it's no wonder she was unhappy.
A dark cloud settled between Wei Chizheng's brows. He took a deep breath and asked, "Should I call Lu Zeyu and have him come over to take care of you?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanzhi's pupils dilated.
She stared at him with wide surprise. "Wei Chizheng, you seem to be sick."
She's injured, why did she call Lu Zeyu over?
What is her relationship with Lu Zeyu?
Why should we call them here?
What exactly is this man thinking?
Xie Nanzhi was furious, and Wei Chizheng was even more at a loss.
After thinking it over, Wei Chizheng realized that even if he were to call Lu Zeyu, it wouldn't be his place to do so.
Besides, wasn't his calling Lu Zeyu a blatant provocation?
It was his oversight.
However, Wei Chizheng couldn't help feeling jealous whenever he thought about how Xie Nanzhi chatted and laughed with Lu Zeyu, but he always had a cold face and was indifferent to her.
His brows furrowed even more, his face darkening. "I'm leaving now."
She didn't want to see him, and he didn't even have an excuse to stay.
As Wei Chizheng straightened his suit meticulously, the urgency in his eyes was clearly visible.
He must be in a hurry to pick up "Jiaojiao".
Ah, it seems that this Jiaojiao is the one Wei Chizheng cherishes most.
No wonder Wei Chi, who has such good qualities, has kept his first kiss until now; it turns out he's always had someone else in his heart.
I just don't know why he and his "Jiaojiao" couldn't end up together.
Xie Nanzhi sat on the bed without moving and said coldly, "I have an injury on my foot, so I won't personally see Mr. Wei off."
Wei Chizheng, with his back to her, said in a deep voice, "Okay."
After saying that, Wei Chizheng strode away.
Xie Nanzhi felt a nameless fire burning inside her. She lay down heavily, unable to shake the image of Wei Chizheng's face from her mind.
She must be crazy.
Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath and patted her face.
She couldn't let her imagination run wild anymore; she and this dangerous man were from completely different worlds.
Meanwhile, Tie Tou was waiting downstairs.
However, I didn't expect Wei Chizheng to come down so quickly.
Just as Wei Chizheng got into the car, Tie Tou reported, "Second Master, those three thugs have been dealt with."
Wei Chizheng grunted in agreement and looked down at the red ribbon on his wrist.
After a long silence, Wei Chizheng suddenly asked, "Tie Tou, do you have someone you like?"
Without hesitation, Tie Tou replied, "Yes."
Wei Chizheng asked, "Does she love you?"
Tie Tou nodded, "Yes, my mom only has me as her child, she definitely loves me."
Wei Chizheng glanced at the rearview mirror, his face darkening.
Iron Head, however, couldn't understand. "Second Master, what's wrong?"
Wei Chizheng was extremely helpless. Oh well, Tie Tou's IQ is just like that, there's no need to get angry with him.
Wei Chizheng said, "It's alright, let's drive."
The following day, Xie Nanzhi took a plane back to the port city.
Catherine did not return with them; she plans to stay at Danqing Academy for the time being and study there.
Regarding the harassment Xie Nanzhi experienced last night, the police called her and said the perpetrator had been apprehended. However, there are no leads on the person behind it.
Indeed, given Wei Yongxian's status and position, how could he be implicated so easily?
Xie Nanzhi remembered this grudge and would definitely get her revenge when she had the chance, but certainly not now.
The first thing she did upon returning to the port city was to visit the transportation company. The overall business was far better than before, and she saw the latest financial report, which showed considerable profits.
If this rate of development continues, the planned annual turnover can be reached before the end of the year.
It was quite a coincidence that Xie Nanzhi returned on the day of Qixi Festival.
Zhou Mubin had called her before to ask if she could come back to celebrate Qixi Festival together, and she actually made it.
Xie Nanzhi went home to pack up her luggage and belongings, and also brought the gifts she had bought for Wang Shufen in Beijing.
It was a jade pendant carefully selected by Xie Nanzhi.
Wang Shufen held it in her hands, admiring it dearly. "It's so beautiful! My daughter has such good taste. But isn't it too expensive? I'm too old to wear it. Nanzhi, you should keep it."
Xie Nanzhi pretended to be angry, took the jade pendant from her hand, went behind her, and personally put it on Wang Shufen's finger. "Why can't you wear it on any occasion? You can wear it when you go to class or when you go out with those aunties, can't you?"
After putting on the jade pendant, Xie Nanzhi stood back in front of her. The jade pendant had excellent clarity and complemented her skin tone perfectly.
Xie Nanzhi smiled, "So beautiful."
Wang Shufen was a little embarrassed by the praise, but it was clear that she genuinely liked it.
Xie Nanzhi helped Wang Shufen sit down and said earnestly, "Mom, from now on, if I buy you something, just accept it. You don't need to save money for me; I have money."
Wang Shufen knew that Xie Nanzhi was not short of money, but she was not well-educated and had little experience coming from the countryside. She was used to being frugal all her life and was simply unwilling to spend this money.
Wang Shufen smiled and said, "Okay, Mom understands. But Nanzhi, let's be frugal with our money. There will be many expenses after we have children."
The older generation believes that women must get married and have children.
Moreover, Wang Shufen has been undergoing reform for the past ten years, and her thinking has become entrenched.
But the love for their children remains the same.
Xie Nanzhi didn't argue much; she simply said indulgently, "Okay, I'll be more frugal from now on."
The mother and daughter smiled at each other.
That evening, Zhou Mubin booked a private room upstairs at Shui Tian Yi Se.
Perhaps because of Valentine's Day, there were noticeably more couples than usual.
Zhou Mubin was busy receiving the parties involved and would arrive a little later, while Xibei arrived early, coming directly from the laboratory.
Xibei declared, "Old Zhou told us to start drinking, and today Young Master Zhou will pay the bill."
Xie Nanzhi joked, "Old Zhou closed another big deal?"
Xibei ordered six rows of Passion Bacardi, which were neatly arranged into a large square.
Xie Nanzhi casually picked up a glass and heard Xi Bei say, "It's said that if you win the divorce case, you'll make at least 30 million."
"That's right, no wonder Old Zhou isn't interested in the family fortune. Isn't this more enjoyable than inheriting the family business?"
The two clinked glasses, and Xibei downed her drink in one gulp. "You know, Lao Zhou doesn't have a girlfriend or kids. He earns so much money, if we don't spend it for him, he won't be able to spend it all. Nanzhi, how about we order a few male models and experience the joys of being a rich woman?"
Xie Nanzhi refused decisively, "I'm not crazy yet."
Xi Bei, still harboring ulterior motives, put his arm around her shoulder. "It's not like I'm asking you to do anything with him. Just pour us a drink and feed us some fruit, okay? Nan Zhi, don't be so old-fashioned. Why can men order princesses but women can't order male models? Come on, come on, it's on Mr. Zhou anyway."
Without waiting for Xie Nanzhi's agreement, Xi Bei called over the manager and said, "Bring over all your best male models. I'll take a good look at them."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Xie Nanzhi still couldn't break through her mental defenses. She told Xibei to choose her own, and she wouldn't take any.
Unable to persuade her, Xibei simply gave up trying.
A few minutes later, the manager led a row of male models into the private room.
I must say, the quality is really good.
Xie Nanzhi also glanced over curiously, and when she saw the last person, she was shocked on the spot.
