Chapter 300 Hesitant to Speak

Liu Zixin interrupted him, "It's decided."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Ji Wan took a look at Cheng Wen's hesitant expression and understood a little bit.

This Nanjing project is definitely not simple.

Cheng Wen sighed and pulled out a thick stack of documents from the drawer. "This is the information for the Nanjing project. The colleague who was previously in charge resigned due to excessive pressure. Now we have less than a week to prepare the proposal."

Ji Wan took the document and flipped to the first page. It was a market research and development plan for a large commercial complex, involving over 100 million yuan in funding. The partner was a strong local real estate company in Nanjing.

"What are the difficulties of this project?" Ji Wan asked directly.

Cheng Wen pushed his glasses up and lowered his voice, "The boss of the partner is Mr. Chi's sworn enemy. We've had two rounds of talks and failed to reach an agreement. Mr. Chi takes it very seriously, but the other party's attitude is extremely tough."

Ji Wan understood that this was a warning to her. The first task was a difficult project, and if she wasn't careful, she would offend Chi Lin.

"I understand, thank you." Ji Wan said calmly and began to read the document carefully.

At lunch time, Ji Wan ate alone in the company cafeteria.

"Are you eating alone? Can we join you?" A clear female voice sounded.

Ji Wan looked up and saw a girl with a ponytail, holding a tray in her hand and a sunny smile on her face.

"Of course." Ji Wan nodded.

The girl sat down and held out her hand. "I'm Xia Guoguo, from the Finance Department. I heard you're the new guy, Ji Wan?"

Ji Wan shook her hand and said, "Hello, Xia Guoguo."

"I just saw the information Cheng Wen gave you about the Nanjing project."

Xia Guoguo took a bite of her sandwich and said, "That project was very difficult. The previous person in charge was almost driven crazy."

Ji Wan smiled slightly, "I can see that you are deliberately trying to make me hit a wall."

Xia Guoguo lowered her voice, "Everyone in the company knows that you were hired by President Chi himself, and there are rumors that..."

"I used to be the CEO of Ji Corporation?" Ji Wan said frankly.

Xia Guoguo's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? I thought it was just a rumor!"

Ji Wan didn't comment, just smiled faintly.

Xia Guoguo suddenly leaned closer, "So what's your relationship with Mr. Chi?"

"Enemy." Ji Wan answered briefly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Xia Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You're really interesting. I like being friends with straightforward people like you."

That day, Ji Wan devoted herself to the Nanjing project. She found that although Cheng Wen seemed unenthusiastic, he was very capable at work and did not hold back because of her special status.

It was time to get off work, and Ji Wan and Xia Guoguo walked out of the building together.

"How do you feel about your first day today?" Xia Guoguo asked curiously.

“It’s better than I thought.”

Ji Wan said frankly, "At least I still have a good colleague like you."

Xia Guoguo was about to answer when she suddenly grabbed Ji Wan's arm and said, "Look, is that Mr. Chi's car?"

Ji Wan followed her gaze and saw a black Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the building.

Chi Lin walked out of the car, walked around to the other side, and opened the door for a woman in a red dress.

The woman is tall, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and her every move exudes elegance and confidence.

"That's Ning Weiwei, the secretary of the Commerce Department."

Xia Guoguo lowered her voice, "I heard her family has a strong background, and her father is a high-ranking official in the province."

Ji Wan watched Chi Lin and Ning Weiwei talking intimately, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Although she had no feelings for Chi Lin, she still felt a subtle emotion when she saw this scene.

"Are they a couple?" Ji Wan couldn't help but ask.

Xia Guoguo smiled mysteriously, "This is a big secret of the company. Last month, I was working overtime and accidentally ran into them in the office. Um, you know, they were very affectionate."

Ji Wan raised his eyebrows, thinking about something.

At this time, Chi Lin put his arm around Ning Weiwei's waist and they walked towards the car.

Ning Weiwei sat in the back seat gracefully, Chi Lin followed in, and the car door closed.

In the car, Ning Weiwei snuggled in Chi Lin's arms, gently stroking his cheek with her fingers.

"Did Ji Wan really come today?" Ning Weiwei asked in a charming voice.

Chi Lin nodded, "He's here, and his attitude is better than I thought."

Ning Weiwei chuckled, "Of course she would come. For the sake of the Ji family, which is in danger, she has no choice."

Chi Lin put his arm around Ning Weiwei's waist and said, "Don't worry, she can't do anything."

"Don't underestimate a woman's stubbornness." Ning Weiwei's eyes flashed with jealousy. "She used to be the president of Ji Corporation. She was spoiled. How could she be willing to be your subordinate?"

Ning Weiwei's words made Chi Lin frown.

He looked out the window, his thoughts drifting to the stubborn woman.

Ji Wan, a strong woman who refuses to bow her head, is now forced into this situation by him.

A strange sense of accomplishment and different emotions spread in Chi Lin's heart.

"What are you thinking about?" Ning Weiwei noticed that he was distracted, and her voice was a little unhappy.

Chi Lin collected his thoughts and hugged Ning Weiwei tighter, "Nothing, just thinking about where to eat tonight."

Ning Weiwei leaned in his arms contentedly, her fingers gently stroking his chest.

"Come to my apartment."

She glared at him, "I made your favorite dish myself."

Chi Lin's heart moved. Ning Weiwei's hint was obvious.

They arrived at Ning Weiwei's apartment. As soon as they entered, Ning Weiwei took the initiative to kiss Chi Lin on the lips. Their breathing quickly became rapid, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor.

In the darkness, Chi Lin couldn't help but think of Ji Wan's cold and beautiful face and her unyielding eyes. This made him even more excited and his movements even more violent.

Ning Weiwei seemed to sense something, but she knew men too well and knew how to please Chi Lin. She matched his every move, letting out a soft moan that made her blood boil.

Afterwards, Ning Weiwei leaned in Chi Lin's arms, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"Are you thinking about her?" Ning Weiwei suddenly asked.

Chi Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and chuckled, "Who are you thinking about?"

"Ji Wan."

Ning Weiwei looked him straight in the eyes and said, "You just called her name."

Chi Lin's expression changed slightly, then he regained his composure, "You heard wrong."

Ning Weiwei sneered and turned away from his embrace, "Chi Lin, do you have other thoughts about her?"

Chi Lin sat up, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Smoke swirled in the dim light, blurring his expression.

"Just an opponent."

Chi Lin said calmly, "I just wanted to see her lower her head."

Ning Weiwei didn't comment, got up, put on her nightgown and walked towards the bathroom.

The sound of water could be heard as Chi Lin sat alone on the edge of the bed, his mind filled with complex thoughts.

He admitted to having an inexplicable feeling for Ji Wan. That woman was so special; her inherent stubbornness and unyielding nature attracted him. But Ning Weiwei was not only beautiful and sensible, she also had the connections and resources he needed.

Chi Lin put out his cigarette and laughed at himself. As long as he knew who he loved, it wouldn't be considered betrayal, right?

The bathroom door opened, and Ning Weiwei came out, wiping her wet hair. "Would you like something to eat?"

Chi Lin reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Eat you."
