Chapter 69: The Encounter I Asked for

Zhou Zhenghui knocked on the office door, and seeing no one answered, he pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as I entered, I saw Xiao Cheng'an sitting alone at the desk, staring at the photo in a daze.

You don't have to think about who is in the photo.

He shook his head, walked closer, and said with a hint of accusation, "Xiao Cheng'an, can you be more proactive? The company has finally overcome the difficulties, and you still have the mood to sit here in a daze. Can you do something serious?"

He snatched the photo from his hand, and sure enough, in the album, the girl was holding a string of candied haws in her hand, turning her head and looking at something with a sweet smile on her face, and her eyes were full of affection.

Yu Nian.

Xiao Chengan looked up at him, his brows and eyes full of haggardness, "Can't you even look at the photos?"

During this period of time, he missed her madly and wanted to see her, and he was almost going crazy.

He tried hard to suppress his impulses and worked hard to solve work problems.

After the company stabilized, he couldn't find her again.

He went to Yu Jingwan's residence, but it was already empty.

He wandered the streets, searching desperately.

But still couldn't find her.

Has he really lost her completely?

Seeing his dejected look, Zhou Zhenghui felt a little sorry for him. He took out an invitation and put it on the desk, "Don't say I didn't help you."

Xiao Cheng'an glanced at the invitation but didn't pick it up. "What does it mean?"

Is this another response to business cooperation?

He doesn't want to go.

Zhou Zhenghui knew he had misunderstood, but he refused to say anything. "If you don't want it, I can take it. This is an invitation I pulled a lot of strings to get. It's to a jewelry designer exchange meeting. Maybe someone will be going too?"

He pretended to pick up the invitation on the desk, but Xiao Chengan got there first.

Xiao Chengan grabbed the invitation excitedly, "Is Nian Nian going too?!"

Zhou Zhenghui looked at his expectant eyes and didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. "Maybe."

Yu Nian is interested in jewelry. Since she has been back for so long, it is very likely that she is engaged in an industry related to her major, and there is a high probability that she will attend the exchange meeting.

But I don't know if she has the qualifications.

This meeting still has some requirements.

They are all industry elites.

But it is possible that Yu Nian was taken to see the world.

After all, Yu Nian still has some abilities.

Xiao Chengan clenched the invitation in his hand and said, "I'll go!"

After the meeting at 9am.

Yu Nian was called to the office by his leader.

Yu Nian had some psychological trauma about being called to the office alone.

"Please sit down." Zhou Xinya smiled gently and glanced at Yu Nian who was a little restrained.

Zhou Xinya, Yu Nian's new boss, is a 38-year-old unmarried career woman.

Yu Nian thanked him and sat down.

I still feel a little uneasy.

Generally, being called to the office alone is either a bad thing or a good thing.

"Don't be so nervous." Zhou Xinya saw her nervousness and said soothingly.

Yu Nian smiled and said, how could he not be nervous when facing his leader?

Oh, except Ji Feizhi.

He probably had a high status and was out of her reach, so she had no direct feeling about it.

But Zhou Xinya is her direct superior and it is not easy to offend her.

Zhou Xinya smiled, took out an invitation from the drawer, and handed it over. "There's an industry exchange meeting this afternoon. It's a great opportunity to meet many outstanding colleagues. Are you interested?"

Yu Nian took the invitation and looked down at it. "Is it for me?"

Zhou Xinya nodded.

If not her, who else should I give it to?

Zhou Xinya is a very clear-headed person. In today's society, if you want to move up, ability is important, but having no connections is not enough.

Yu Nian is a person with connections and has a prominent background. Secretary Qi has repeatedly told her to take good care of him, so naturally she has to maintain a good relationship with him.

"Come with me?" Zhou Xinya invited again.

Yu Nian thought about it and nodded.

She didn't seize the opportunity even though it was right in front of her. She is really ungrateful.

Yu Nian doesn't have much ambition in her career, but she does love her job.

Designing a piece of timeless jewelry has been her lifelong pursuit.

She is looking forward to the afternoon exchange meeting.

Yu Nian followed behind Zhou Xinya, watching his boss greet everyone with ease.

She smiled shyly, like someone who had entered another world.

Apart from smiling, she really doesn't know how to socialize.

However, she also learned a lot from attending the exchange meeting this time.

Zhou Xinya was tripped by someone, so Yu Nian had to walk around the conference venue alone.

I picked up a glass of juice, but didn't drink it because I didn't want my hands to be empty and I felt like something was missing.

"Nian Nian!"

Yu Nian was stunned and stopped moving forward.

She seemed to hear a familiar voice.

"Niannian! It's you!" Xiao Cheng'an squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward eagerly, grabbed Yu Nian's wrist from behind, and said excitedly.

Yu Nian was forced to turn around and meet a pair of eyes full of expectation and sadness.

Brother Cheng'an.

She was a little flustered in her heart, and she quietly broke free from his hand. She hardened her heart, turned cold, and said seriously, "Xiao Cheng'an, I think I have made it very clear. I have nothing to do with you anymore."

Xiao Cheng'an was visibly disappointed. He looked down at his empty hands, the sadness in his eyes growing heavier. "Niannian, what did you call me?"

Yu Nian felt a pang in his heart, but he remained calm and responded coldly, "Xiao Cheng'an."

Xiao Cheng'an felt as if he had suffered a major blow. His body trembled and he staggered back a step, "Nian Nian..."

The girl who followed behind him and sweetly called him Brother Chengan.

Do you really not want him anymore?

Xiao Cheng'an felt a bit of sweetness in his throat. He pursed his lips tightly, still unwilling to give up, "Niannian, you are deliberately trying to piss me off, right?"

Yu Nian did not answer and turned away.

"Nian Nian!"

Yu Nian paused, turned around, took the red wine glass from Xiao Cheng'an's hand, and transferred his juice to his hand.

His tone was still cold, "Mr. Xiao, you are not in good health, drink less."

Xiao Cheng'an looked at the orange juice in his hand, stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

When I looked up and wanted to say something, Yu Nian had disappeared.

He frantically searched the halls for her.

My heart fell into endless panic again.

Yu Nian walked through the crowd, raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

There is a dull pain in my heart.

If she had known she would meet Xiao Chengan here, she would not have come.

She looked around, found the direction of the door, walked towards it, and placed the wine glass on the waiter's tray.

We must leave here as soon as possible.

She didn't want to get too involved with him.

After she walked out the door, she leaned against the wall, covered her chest, and took a deep breath.

Emotions surged in my heart.

Mianmian, have you seen the current situation? Do you regret it?

Tears flowed down, and Yu Nian wiped them away stubbornly.

Turn around and leave.

I had just taken two steps when someone grabbed my wrist.

Xiao Chengan was excited, "Niannian, you still care about me, you still care about me, right!?"

Otherwise, why would he change the wine glass in his hand?

He was very sure that she still cared about him.

"I..." Yu Nian was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Let her go!"
