Chapter 100 Following All the Way

Chu Qingxue also designed a seal, the size of an imperial seal, which can be used as a real seal or as a decorative item.

However, the button she designed featured two dragons playing with a pearl, while Jiang Ning's button design used camels and Dunhuang to represent the Silk Road.

"Director Li, what do you think?"

The product that Chu Qingxue handed over to Director Li was already a finished product.

Although it's made of jadeite, it's still several grades lower than the high-quality icy green with floating flowers required by Jiangning.

As a gift for foreign guests, it's either unacceptable or not perfect enough in every aspect.

Director Li was also in a dilemma, but Jiangning currently lacked raw materials for its designs, so it couldn't produce finished products. Even the best ideas would be nothing but empty words.

"I'll drive there now."

Jiang Ning turned to leave.

Where to?

As soon as Lu Junyan entered the conference room, he saw Jiang Ning looking like a headless fly, almost bumping into him.

"I'm sure I can still make it to the factory in NY if I drive there now."

Do you know how heavy the rain is outside right now?

Lu Junyan asked.

Jiang Ning certainly knew.

"Then I want to go too."

Meeting Jiang Ning's determined gaze, Lu Junyan shrugged and smiled.

"You're really that unwilling to use Qingxue's design?"

These words made it sound like Jiang Ning was only insisting on this because of a personal grudge. Jiang Ning opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but then felt that it would go on and on.

She doesn't have much time to waste right now.

"I was originally going to go with the car, but the raw materials for jade must be selected by someone who knows about jade."

After giving a brief explanation, Jiang Ning told everyone, "Contact me anytime if you need anything."

Then she walked past Lu Junyan and left the conference room.

Lu Junyan followed him out.

"Let Xiao Zhang take you there!"

Jiang Ning turned around at the sound.

Lu Junyan showed his car keys, his expression as indifferent as ever.

"It's slippery when it rains, so it's safer for Xiao Zhang to drive."

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Junyan, unsure whether this was Lu Junyan's concern for her or his distrust.

"I appreciate your kind offer," Jiang Ning shook his head and declined, saying, "Xiao Zhang's driving skills are not as good as mine."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Just then, Xiao Zhang walked over, and Lu Junyan turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "Did you hear that?"

Xiao Zhang nodded, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He considered himself a pretty good driver; otherwise, he wouldn't have become Lu Junyan's driver.

"Miss Jiang is just putting on a brave face!" he said calmly.

"You think so too?"

After Lu Junyan finished speaking, he took a step and followed the same route as Jiang Ning.

Xiao Zhang didn't follow. Although he didn't know where Lu Junyan was going, he had a feeling that Lu Junyan didn't want him to come along.

The cars have already started moving in Jiangning.

The rain was pouring down relentlessly, and the closer we drove to YN, the heavier the rain became.

Following the navigation, she drove very fast, her attention completely focused on driving, and she didn't notice that a car was following her.

Lu's Group.

Chu Qingxue searched the building but couldn't find Lu Junyan.

"Xiao Zhang, do you know where Junyan went?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head.

He genuinely didn't know.

Chu Qingxue felt a little flustered for some reason.

Jiang Ning went to retrieve raw materials, so what about Lu Junyan?

Surely he couldn't have gone with Jiang Ning, could he?

Chu Qingxue shook her head vigorously.

She dialed Lu Junyan's number directly.

"Hey Junyan, where are you now? I don't see you at the company."

"I'm going out."

"Where...are you going?"

Chu Qingxue rarely inquired about Lu Junyan's schedule, but this time, she inexplicably couldn't help herself.

"Car wash".

Lu Junyan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Chu Qingxue was completely baffled.

Why not let Xiao Zhang go wash the car?

What kind of car is so important that Lu Junyan has to personally swipe it?

The imperial blue Bentley sped through the torrential rain.

The heavy rain did wash away all the dust from the car.

Lu Junyan chased after the white BMW 3 Series ahead, but the further he chased, the further away he was left behind.

Lu Junyan never expected that his car would be unable to catch up with Jiang Ning.

He never expected Jiang Ning to be such a good driver.

But he didn't want to see Jiang Ning driving at that speed.

To save time, Jiangning didn't book a decent hotel along the way, and just stayed overnight at the hotels provided in highway service areas wherever they stopped.

Four days later, Jiang Ning arrived at the factory where he had placed the order and picked up the raw stones.

The selection of raw jadeite is particularly crucial. Jiang Ning didn't find the trip too arduous. She had originally planned to go with the transport truck to the local area to personally select the raw stones.

Once the rough stones were selected and loaded into the car, they could only be placed in the trunk.

The rain was still falling, and the truck from Jiangning wasn't a professional transport vehicle after all. Halfway there, the dashboard displayed a malfunction warning.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to park his car on the emergency lane of the highway.

She didn't have any rain gear in her car, and when she got out to check it, she was soaked to the bone.

After autumn arrives, each autumn rain brings a chill.

The cold rain lashed at Jiang Ning, giving him goosebumps all over.

Her hair and clothes were completely soaked, and rainwater streamed down her forehead, blurring her vision.

With limited tools on board, only a simple repair could be made.

Jiang Ning had done his best, but still couldn't get the car back on.

Even if she contacts a towing company, what will happen to the rough stones in her car?

As darkness fell, Jiang Ning stood alone on the emergency lane of the highway, watching the endless stream of vehicles pass by. A sense of helplessness overwhelmed her, suffocating her.

Just then, a car headlight suddenly flashed at her.

The alternating use of near and far light seemed to be deliberately stimulating her eyes.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and saw that the car had turned on its hazard lights, slowed down, and stopped in the emergency lane.

Even in the torrential rain, the car remained conspicuously visible.

When Jiang Ning realized that the car parked in front of him was Lu Junyan's imperial blue Bentley, his heart began to race.

Lu Junyan got out of the car, holding a black umbrella in his hand.

The rain pattered against the umbrella.

Jiang Ning knew that the man in front of her was not an illusion.

The two faced each other, speechless.

Jiang Ning felt that her breathing seemed a little erratic.

She really wanted to ask Lu Junyan why he was here.

"Get in the car."

Before Jiang Ning could ask, Lu Junyan spoke first, tilting the umbrella towards Jiang Ning's head.

In an instant, the rain hitting Jiang Ning lessened.

Jiang Ning noticed that Lu Junyan's suit was soaked by the rain.

"I'm going to get the raw gem."

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate and accepted Lu Junyan's timely help.

"I'll go get it, you get in the car."

Lu Junyan held an umbrella for Jiang Ning, first letting Jiang Ning get into the car, and then went to the trunk of Jiang Ning's car to retrieve the jadeite rough.

The raw stone was very heavy, and Jiang Ning was able to put it into the car with the help of factory staff.

Lu Junyan's help saved her a lot of trouble.

When Lu Junyan got into the driver's seat, his suit was completely soaked.

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to apologize or not, but ultimately thanked him first.

Lu Junyan didn't react much and drove quietly.

Jiang Ning's car was towed away, while Jiang Ning himself and the jadeite rough were in Lu Junyan's car.

The car was completely silent. The Bentley had excellent sound insulation, and the heavier the rain outside, the quieter the interior became.

Why... are you here?

Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Just happened to be passing by," Lu Junyan replied, keeping his eyes on the road ahead.

"I see..."

Jiang Ning's voice didn't betray disappointment; she simply found it unbelievable.

At this moment, Lu Junyan took the initiative to ask a question:

"You don't think I followed you all the way here to pick you up, do you?"
