Ning Nanxue heard the hint in Madam Xu's words. She knew that Madam Xu was telling her that leaving Fu Chen was a good thing. She didn't expose her mistake, but simply thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, Madam Xu, you are so kind."

"Nanxue, you don't have to be so polite all the time." Madam Xu said with a smile, "We will be partners from now on, so we should visit each other more often."

"Yes, you are right." Ning Nanxue nodded, her heart full of gratitude.

The two of them strolled around for a while longer. Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Xu said, "Nanxue, let's stop here for today. I have some things to take care of."

"Okay, Madam Xu." Ning Nanxue said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded. "By the way, regarding the cooperation, I will have someone draw up a detailed contract when I get back. You can take a look at it then. We can discuss any questions you have."

"Okay, Madam Xu," Ning Nanxue said, "I look forward to working with you."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Mrs. Xu smiled. "Nanxue, you're a very capable girl. I believe we'll have a pleasant cooperation."

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Xu." Ning Nanxue said, "I will do my best to live up to your trust."

"Okay, I believe you." Mrs. Xu said, "Then I'll leave first."

"Mrs. Xu, take care." Ning Nanxue sent Mrs. Xu to the entrance of the mall, watched her get into the car, and then turned and left.

Xu Zhiru and Fu Chen came out of another store and happened to see Ning Nanxue and Mrs. Xu saying goodbye.

Xu Zhiru looked at the backs of Ning Nanxue and Mrs. Xu talking and laughing, and she was burning with jealousy and hatred in her heart even more.

She held Fu Chen's arm tightly.

"Ah Chen, look at Ning Nanxue." Xu Zhiru said sourly, "She actually climbed up the big tree of Madam Xu."

Fu Chen's face didn't look good either. He didn't expect that Ning Nanxue would have a relationship with Madam Xu so quickly.

"Ah Chen, do you think I did something wrong that made Madam Xu unhappy?" Xu Zhiru pretended to be aggrieved and complained to Fu Chen.

"No, don't think too much." Fu Chen comforted, "You did very well."

"I feel like Madam Xu doesn't like me very much." Xu Zhiru said with a hint of disappointment in her tone. "She seems to like Ning Nanxue more."

"How could that be?" Fu Chen patted the back of her hand gently and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go back."

"Yeah." Xu Zhiru nodded obediently, but was secretly proud in her heart.

Fu Chen's tone was hesitant, but he had already begun to doubt Ning Nanxue.

"Ah Chen, you said Ning Nanxue is now our business competitor. It's understandable that Madam Xu prefers her, right?"

Xu Zhiru said cautiously, trying to sow discord between Fu Chen and Ning Nanxue.

"Um."

Fu Chen responded absentmindedly, but the scene of Ning Nanxue and Madam Xu having a pleasant conversation emerged in his mind.

He felt a little irritated, but he didn't know what he was irritated about.

"Ah Chen, you've been married for so many years, and you didn't know Ning Nanxue could actually perform tea art?" Xu Zhiru continued, "Did she deliberately hide this from you?"

Fu Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly. He thought of Ning Nanxue's performance at the cocktail party and became even more suspicious.

"She never mentioned her tea art skills before," Fu Chen said, a hint of coldness in his tone. "Besides, her tea art looks very professional. Even Madam Xu praised it highly."

"Yeah, I find it strange too." Xu Zhiru said, "Do you think she planned all this long ago, deliberately getting close to Madam Xu, and then using Madam Xu to deal with us?"

"It's possible." Fu Chen said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ning Nanxue's city was very deep. "We all underestimated her."

"Ah Chen, what should we do now?" Xu Zhiru asked, "Ning Nanxue now has Madam Xu's support. Isn't this putting us in a difficult position?"

"Don't worry." Fu Chen said, "I have a way to deal with her."

After shopping, Jiang Tingchen came to pick up Ning Nanxue as agreed.

He arrived at the mall entrance early and stood by the car, waiting anxiously.

When he saw Ning Nanxue's figure appear in his sight, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Xue'er!" Jiang Tingchen hurried over and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you tired?"

"Not bad." Ning Nanxue smiled, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived too." Jiang Tingchen said, "Let's go home."

"Yeah." Ning Nanxue nodded and followed Jiang Tingchen into the car.

The car slowly drove away from the mall. Jiang Tingchen asked as he drove, "How was the talk with Mrs. Xu?"

"It went very smoothly." Ning Nanxue said, "Mrs. Xu said she would have someone draw up a contract as soon as possible."

"Really? That's great!" Jiang Tingchen said happily, "I knew you could do it!"

"This is all thanks to you." Ning Nanxue said, "If it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Tingchen smiled. "This is a victory for both of us."

"Yeah!" Ning Nanxue nodded vigorously, a happy smile on her face.

Halfway through the drive, Ning Nanxue suddenly said, "Senior, let's go eat something. I'm a little hungry."

"Okay." Jiang Tingchen said, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's up to you, you decide." Ning Nanxue said.

"Okay, I know a restaurant that serves very good food. Let's go there," Jiang Tingchen said.

"Yeah." Ning Nanxue nodded.

The two came to the restaurant, ordered some dishes, and chatted while eating.

"Xue'er, you look very happy today." Jiang Tingchen said.

"Yes, I'm very happy." Ning Nanxue said, "Being able to cooperate with Xu Group is a great opportunity for us."

"Well, this is indeed a good opportunity." Jiang Tingchen said, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I know." Ning Nanxue said, "I will do my best."

"Well, I believe you." Jiang Tingchen said, "You can do it."

Mrs. Xu returned home and told Mr. Xu about her shopping trip with Ning Nanxue today.

"This Ning Nanxue is truly impressive," said Madam Xu. "She's not only capable, but also has great taste. She helped me pick out all the clothes and jewelry I bought today."

"Really?" Mr. Xu was a little surprised. "She has this talent?"

"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded. "She has good taste and is very good at speaking. It's very pleasant to listen to her."

"It seems we really chose the right person this time." Mr. Xu said, "This Ning Nanxue is indeed not simple."

"Yeah." Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement. "By the way, I saw Jiang Tingchen coming to pick her up."
