After returning, Yang Xiu went directly to Xinchen Trading to find Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning had already heard Ji Tingting report the situation at the press conference to her, and she smiled. Seeing him enter, she moved to the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, and leaned forward.

"You're later than I expected!"

Yang Xiu also sat down, and before Ji Tingting could pour him tea, he picked up a cup and poured himself a cup.

"Did you have someone make the videotape? At first, I was really scared, thinking the company was going to be in big trouble. I never expected Chen Hao to dig a hole for himself."

I was originally going to come after watching the commotion, but on the way I encountered a CCTV reporter being chased with a videotape. I helped him escape the pursuit, which delayed me a little.

Ji Tingting smiled faintly, "I was wondering why you left so early and didn't come over."

Yang Xiu looked at her in surprise, "You went to the scene too?"

Ji Tingting raised her eyebrows: "I'm just here to see what's going on."

If she doesn't go, how will she see Chen Hao's embarrassed and flustered state?

Is she trying to extort money from her cousin?

Mosquitoes are biting cow horns—they've chosen the wrong target!

"President Jiang, what are your plans to do with Chen Hao? He's already gone too far; we absolutely can't let him get away with this!"

Ji Tingting has always been ruthless. Having worked under Jiang Ning for more than two years, she has witnessed a lot of the cutthroat world of business. She also knows Jiang Ning's methods and will never be merciful to those who provoke her.

Jiang Ning paused for two seconds, then parted her lips:

"Let's see how this public opinion develops before making a decision. Major TV stations and newspapers should publish related reports on this matter. If the timing is right, Fuqiang Group will acquire the residential properties in Jixiang Community."

Ji Tingting immediately replied, "Understood, I'll go collect the information right away."

After saying that, she left the room.

As she was leaving, she winked at Yang Xiu and said, "Andy, want to go out for dinner tonight?"

Before he could reply, she had already closed the door.

When Ji Tingting was abroad, she interned at Yang Xiu's company. He was worried that she wouldn't adapt well to the foreign environment, so he would occasionally treat her to meals.

After returning to China, Ji Tingting started treating him to meals.

Ji Tingting started from the bottom at Xinchen Trading and, after more than two years of hard work, has now become a department manager, second only to Wang Meizhu and Xu Yan.

Wang Meizhu and Ross's relationship has deepened, and they are planning to get married. Ji Tingting is also considered to be the most promising candidate to succeed Wang Meizhu.

After she closed the door, Yang Xiu shook his head and continued discussing Chen Hao's extortion with Jiang Ning.

"What a coincidence! I just received an invitation from CCTV. They're preparing to do a celebrity interview program, and they'd like to invite the founder of Ningzhi Technology to chat. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

She received the invitation a few days ago, but she didn't have any particular thoughts at the time. However, after this incident, Ningzhi Technology needed an opportunity for exposure, so she brought it up to seek Yang Xiu's opinion.

Although Jiang Ning also owns half of Ningzhi Technology, Yang Xiu is responsible for many of the company's specific operations. Moreover, he is an absolute technical expert, which is why he deserves the title of founder.

Yang Xiu listened with a calm expression, "I'm not ready to face the media yet. Let me go back and think about it."

"Okay, that program is still in the preparation stage, there's still time to consider it."

Jiang Ning didn't press him, and escorted him out of the office.

After Yang Xiu came out, he wanted to apologize to Ji Tingting for not being able to have dinner with her, but he saw that she had already picked up her bag and left the company with him.

"Andy, let's go eat Western food. I know a new and nice Western restaurant that just opened. Their steaks are pretty good."

She remembered that Yang Xiu used to love eating steak.

There happened to be a taxi parked by the roadside, so she quickly squeezed inside. Seeing that Yang Xiu didn't move, she reached out and pulled him inside.

Yang Xiu thought to himself, "Oh well, I'm going to have dinner anyway, so it doesn't matter where I eat."

At this moment, Ji Tingting had a faint smile on her face, but her mood was a little complicated.

She tried to create the impression that she treated Yang Xiu as a friend, a natural state, so that he wouldn't realize that she liked him.

But deep down, she desperately wanted him to respond to her and know how much she loved him.

She didn't know what had happened to her; the person who used to dare to do anything had become timid and hesitant.

She used to be very cunning in order to seduce Lu Ming.

Now, she wants to use her cunning to win him over, but she hesitates because of the absurdity of her past pregnancy and miscarriage.

Upon arriving at the new restaurant, the two chose a window seat and naturally ordered their food.

When Yang Xiu looked up, he was surprised to see Wu Jing having dinner with her friend in a high chair diagonally opposite him.

Because Wu Jing had her back to him, he could only see her profile, and her attention was entirely on her friend across from her, so she didn't notice him at all.

For some reason, he inexplicably felt like he wanted to hide.

"Tingting, how about we go somewhere else?" he suggested to Ji Tingting in a low voice.

Ji Tingting had already ordered the food. "Andy, don't worry about the price, it's on me. I've been promoted to manager, and we haven't celebrated yet. Now my annual income is over 100,000 yuan, so I can easily afford a Western meal."

Yang Xiu said nothing more, tapped a few times on the menu, and silently ordered his food.

He tried to analyze why he wanted to run away, probably because he was afraid that Wu Jing would misunderstand his relationship with Ji Tingting.

But why does he care that Wu Jing would have such an opinion?

Just as he was lost in thought, Ji Tingting started talking to him about her experiences abroad.

Meanwhile, Wu Jing's colleagues were complaining to her about the new interview program.

"Inviting celebrities is too difficult. They need to be outstanding in a certain industry, maintain a good image, and be eloquent. Otherwise, the show won't be entertaining."

In the first installment, we wanted to create a section for emerging tech companies and extended an invitation to Ningzhi Technology, currently their best-selling company, but we haven't received a response yet.

"Perhaps they weren't prepared yet. After all, this format is unprecedented. It's broadcast on television in front of the entire nation, so everything they say needs to be carefully considered, and their professional skills must be exceptionally solid..."

Putting herself in the shoes of Ningzhi Technology's boss, Wu Jing couldn't help but picture Yang Xiu's face.

He works at Ningzhi Technology, so you could try contacting him to ask about the situation, but unfortunately he didn't leave any contact information.

"Jingjing, why don't you go and invite them? Among our batch of interns, you are the most capable. You even submitted an article today, and even the deputy editor, who dislikes you the most, had nothing to say. If you can get them to come over, they might give you a column in the future."

Wu Jing's colleague interrupted her thoughts.

She quickly waved her hand, "I can't, I'm just a lowly intern, how could I possibly ask such a big shot to come!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then finished their meal and got up to leave.

As Wu Jing passed Yang Xiu's dining table, she paused, a look of surprise on her face.

"Brother Andy, you're eating here too?"
