Chapter 12 Capture Her, CEO, and a Deposit Will Fall from the Sky

12

Ning Ye could feel Bian Xun's gaze landing on her face with a tangible force.

Like shards of ice carrying a hint of chill, they reflected a pair of dark eyes full of probing depths.

What? She actually helped him boost sales!

This money never ends up in her pocket; she's a heartless capitalist.

She hadn't expected Qiongxin Company to give her such a cooperation opportunity.

After receiving the email, Ning Ye went to pick up her child from kindergarten first. Not feeling comfortable leaving her alone at home, she simply took the child with her.

It turns out that Qiongxin, the small game company everyone thought it was, had secretly received a huge investment and was backed by a well-known big company, causing its value to skyrocket. During this period, they repeatedly invited many people to visit the company, but everyone complained that it was too far and useless. Only Ning Ye obediently took the subway three times, even bringing her child with her.

Qiongxin's brother Ma is also a father, and he was particularly moved at that moment.

Qiongxin and the big company behind it are not fools. They must have conducted extensive data research and recognized the performance of Wujiang's products.

This kind of direct, large-scale cooperation, even disregarding how Ning Ye's year-end performance and job level might change, has already secured her targeted bonuses.

When she returned to the company to report, her superiors were present, and she even appeared directly in front of General Manager Bian.

At that moment, the way many of my colleagues looked at me changed.

Xu Lanyi sat in front of the fill light in the live broadcast room, her face beginning to freeze.

Compared to the sales performance of female celebrities, the working people around them are naturally more concerned about the performance of their colleagues, and for a moment everyone's attention was focused on Ning Ye.

Xu Lanyi was in front of the camera, and every move she made was being recorded. She couldn't make any inappropriate expressions. Her hands, which were originally resting comfortably on her knees, unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, and her smile became stiff.

Xu's fans were completely unaware, but they also heard the voices outside the venue. When they heard that someone had ordered 10,000 units, they became even more enthusiastic than before—the people's choice is the best! So they placed orders one after another, and the high popularity also attracted a large number of passersby consumers.

In short, Wujiang Group's revenue exploded that night.

Bian Xun stared blankly for a moment before waving his hand dismissively.

Assistant Zhang then turned around and looked at the elite lawyers who had been waiting behind the president and were now quietly leaving. He wiped the sweat from his brow—So you were originally planning to extort money from the movie queen if the sales target wasn't met, right?

The CEO said that if the actress doesn't earn 16.18 million for the company, he will sue her.

This man never talks nonsense.

Having returned with overseas technology and seized power, the president's first product launch was an early success. Yet, his young and aloof face remained expressionless, as if the massive revenue figures were irrelevant to him.

This is what a true leader looks like!

Assistant Zhang was filled with respect.

Bian Xun: "..."

…

Ning Ye had no intention of working overtime any longer, so she slipped out of the crowd and headed out of the company. Tao Tao was still at home waiting for her to do her kindergarten homework together.

She had just crossed the main road and turned into a side street when a black van stopped next to her.

Ning Ye glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw that it was the license plate number she remembered.

The car window rolled down, revealing the face of an unfamiliar woman. She said politely, "Are you Ms. Ning? My boss would like to speak with you privately, is that convenient?"

Ning Ye smiled gently: "It's inconvenient."

The other party was about to say "Please come in," but he was caught off guard and choked back his words. He could only silently open the car door and get out, revealing the boss who had just finished his live broadcast inside.

Xu Lanyi sat upright in the car and smiled slightly at Ning Ye. The sense of superiority brought by their class difference was subtly displayed in the air as they sat and stood.

The actress's voice carried just the right amount of surprise: "I felt like I recognized you when I saw you just now. It really is you! My nephew is also at Xia Lu Kindergarten. I saw you and your daughter the other day."

Ning Yexiu's eyebrows lifted slightly, her expression unchanged.

Nephew—oh.

Xu Lanyi first praised her performance, then asked with great concern, "I heard that the kindergarten is going to hold a warm autumn parent-child activity next month, and the kindergarten requires that both parents of the children should be present. You are so busy working at Wujiang headquarters, can the children's father take your place?"

Ning Ye had also heard about this. There are so many parent activities in kindergartens nowadays. Just next month there will be parent-child talent shows, fathers taking their children to sports meets, and so on.

Xu Lanyi observed Ning Ye's expression and knew that Ning Ye deliberately brought in a large number of orders during her live stream tonight because she sensed the sense of crisis that Xu Lanyi had planted and wanted to retaliate and provoke her.

She was about to take over the Bian family, so Ning Ye certainly couldn't let go of such a cash cow as Bian Xun. The kindergarten's parent-child activity was the perfect opportunity for her to go find Bian Xun.

Xu Lanyi gave a half-smile.

But that day at the Bian family's old house, she had already probed Bian Xun's attitude towards the child.

Bian Xun has an extreme aversion to children and lacks patience.

He would not easily accept a child who suddenly appears, and asking him to take on the role of a father right away would only arouse his stronger resentment.

Xu Lanyi gracefully and calmly changed her posture. Her confidence stemmed from the fact that she had already verified the reality of her precognitive dreams.

The dream told her that Bian Xun's ex-girlfriend would bring her illegitimate daughter to Bian Xun's vicinity and wait for an opportunity. After waking up, she found Xia Lu Kindergarten near Wujiang Group based on the information, and sure enough, she found them.

In the storyline, she also envisioned her own happy future with both a son and a daughter. She saw Bian Xun standing beside her, and together they were raising two children of the same age. Although the man remained indifferent and aloof, the subtle tenderness in his cold eyes was genuine.

All of this will happen.

Xu Lanyi smiled and said, "We've gotten to know each other now, so don't feel distant from me. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I'm very familiar with your boss."

"When I was in the United States, I met your boss from the early days of your business. At that time, I was recovering from an injury in Pennsylvania—well, an accident during filming. Bian Xun was already doing overseas business for the Bian family there, but he didn't have the prestige of a CEO like he does now. He also suffered quite a bit."

Hearing this, Ning Ye, who had been losing interest, finally looked up.

She had no idea how Bian Xun was doing abroad during the six years since their breakup.

It's not that I'm not curious.

Especially in the first year after the breakup, she couldn't sleep every Friday night. She gradually learned to bypass the Great Firewall to access overseas websites and read news from those countries. She even added a US time zone to her phone.

In fact, she also felt that the plot would happen, after all, Ning Zhitao had actually traveled from the future. And her own character in the original work, who was greedy for money and power and used her daughter to make money, didn't seem to be wrong.

After all, she is currently making money through gossip while raising her child.

And it will cost even more soon.

"So, if you and your husband can't attend the kindergarten's parent-child activities when they start, you can play with my nephew's family~ My nephew's name is Gu Zixun."

Ning Ye also smiled slightly, and amidst Xu Lanyi's meaningful smile, pointed to the nanny van that had once driven into the kindergarten.

“Only immediate family members of the child can apply for a temporary vehicle entry permit at Xia Lu Kindergarten,” Ning Yexing smiled faintly, “How did you get your car into the kindergarten?”

Xu Lanyi's face turned pale instantly.

Only after Ning Ye had walked away slowly did she grip the handrail tightly.

Impossible, absolutely impossible for anyone to know about her relationship with Zixun.

…

The next day, Ning Ye received the package containing the new headphones at the company.

Wujiang's warehouse is located in the suburbs of Beijing, so the goods arrive very quickly. She chose the light purple earphone shell, which is particularly fresh and beautiful.

Many colleagues were unusually enthusiastic towards her today, though a few others looked at her with hostility. After all, in a large department, the bonus pool is limited, and the performance levels are finite; if someone stands out, someone else will be outcompeted.

Ning Ye took it all in stride.

After what happened yesterday, her team leader felt that this young girl was quite capable, as she even knew to report the contract to him first.

"Let's go, the big boss is having a meeting," the team leader said.

Ning Ye looked up, somewhat surprised. "Me?"

The CEO wants to hold a large meeting, so he asks the department heads to bring along a few team leaders, who can also bring their subordinates.

Zhou Jie, who was slacking off at the next workstation and calculating the discounts for tonight's Double Eleven pre-sale on paper, propped her head up when she heard this and gave Ning Ye a dog-head emoji that said "Don't forget me when you're rich."

As Ning Ye passed by her colleagues' workstations, she heard a few low clicks, but she kept her back straight and her posture composed.

The meeting was held on the 25th floor. Ning Ye followed the team leader and the director into the huge office. A stylish chandelier hung overhead, and large floor-to-ceiling windows divided the light—in the distance, on the only main seat, a man in a suit and tie, exuding an air of asceticism, twirled a pen with his long, slender fingers, seemingly deep in thought.

Ning Ye chose a corner spot, opened her laptop, and placed the light purple headphones she had just unpacked next to her.

Bian Xun looked up and saw a large table with dozens of people across from him, and paused slightly.

The meeting was lengthy and had little to do with Ning Ye.

So while listening to the meeting, I happily thought about what I would buy that night for Singles' Day.

She wants to buy a robot vacuum cleaner so she won't have to bend over with a broom anymore. She also plans to buy a washing machine with a high-temperature wash and dry function so she and her child can wash their underwear, freeing up her hands. She also wants to buy moisturizing body lotion and skincare products for autumn and winter. She'll stock up on plenty of soft tissues, as tissues go through so quickly since having a child. Oh, and she'll also stock up on a couple more cases of the milk that Tao Tao likes, as well as puzzles and drawing boards that they both love to play with…

Life is so wonderful.

Bian Xun's gaze fell on her several times without leaving a trace.

After the meeting, he returned to the president's office with a slight frown. As soon as he sat down, a new pair of headphones appeared on the thick sandalwood table.

It has the same light purple shell as hers.

Bian Xun suddenly raised his dark eyes, “!”

A deep breath slowly escaped from his thin lips.

...

After get off work, Ning Ye was walking home with great enthusiasm, planning to check for any omissions and fill in any gaps with Tao Tao, and see if there was anything else they needed.

Just as I crossed the road, I was stopped by a black Maybach.

The car window slowly rolled down.

The dignified man leaned against the window, his gaze as deep as the ocean, concealing unseen undercurrents, fixed on Ning Ye's slender figure.

Was she the one who swiped his card?

First, we cannot rule out the possibility that it was just a coincidence that she happened to buy the same color headphones.

But the billing process last night took place right before she arrived at the company. She has no alibi.

However, if it really was her doing, it's hard to explain all of this.

First, why did she buy children's thinking books, children's watches, and children's face cream?

He frowned, puzzled.

Secondly—

Bian Xun's almost critical gaze swept over her. If she really could swipe money out of his card out of thin air, why did her living conditions not seem to have improved at all?

If you can take tens of millions from him, what about his house, car, watch, and bags?

Does she have anything expensive on her?

A kind of inexplicable anger almost rose in his heart. If he could really spend tens of millions of his money, couldn't she live a better life?

Inside the Maybach, the man's gaze was hidden in the shadows of his brow bone and the peak of his nose, his calm voice carrying a hint of restraint.

"Be kind to yourself, don't you know how?"

He was acting like a gambler, conducting a final test to see if she would be tempted to swipe his card again and buy something truly expensive.

Then he can be 100% sure.

Ning Ye: "?"

He came to humiliate her again in a luxury car. He's insane.

At 8:00 PM that evening, global pre-orders for Singles' Day began.

In a large apartment in Beijing, Bian Xun, having just finished showering, bent down to pick up his phone from the coffee table.

He did indeed receive another bill—

200,000.

300,000.

500,000.

700,000.

However, none of them were large sums.

Beneath his wet black hair, Bian Xun's eyes gleamed. If the price of fraudulently used credit cards really could be multiplied ten thousandfold, just like the previous transactions...

So, working backwards, what exactly were these items purchased?

20 yuan.

30 yuan.

50 yuan.

70 yuan. ...

Was he wrong?

Bian Xun threw his phone away, scoffing at himself, "What a piece of junk!"

On the other side.

Ning Ye, holding her daughter: It's a deposit!^^

She just paid ten deposits! She'll pay the full amount tomorrow.

I can't wait!

The president doesn't understand this; he's inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Here I am! I'm giving away 50 RMB red envelopes!
