"Yes, President Ning, I understand." Secretary Chen nodded and said, "By the way, President Ning, I have a newspaper here. Would you like to take a look?"

"What newspaper?" Ning Nanxue asked.

"The front page headline of today's Financial Daily is an exclusive interview with you." Secretary Chen handed the newspaper to Ning Nanxue.

Ning Nanxue took the newspaper and saw her photo prominently published on the front page headline, with the title "Rising Star in Business: Ning Nanxue's Rise."

"This..." Ning Nanxue looked at the newspaper in surprise. She didn't expect that she would be on the front page.

"Mr. Ning, you are a celebrity now. The entire business community is paying attention to you." Secretary Chen said with a smile.

Ning Nanxue smiled, put the newspaper on the table, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You should go back to work."

"Yes, President Ning." Secretary Chen nodded and walked out of Ning Nanxue's office.

In Fu Chen's villa, Xu Zhiru was carefully preparing dinner.

She specially prepared several dishes according to Ning Nanxue's taste and also arranged the table, hoping to make Fu Chen happier.

"Achen, it's time for dinner." Xu Zhiru walked to the door of the study, knocked gently, and said softly.

Fu Chen walked out of the study and saw the dishes on the table. He was stunned for a moment, "Zhi Ru, what are you doing..."

"Ah Chen, I know you like these dishes, so I learned how to make them." Xu Zhiru said with a smile, "Try it, how do you like it?"

Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's expectant eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He sat down at the dining table, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xu Zhiru asked nervously.

"Yeah, it's delicious." Fu Chen nodded and said, "Zhiru, you are thoughtful."

"As long as you like it." Xu Zhiru smiled and picked up a piece of fish for Fu Chen, "Ah Chen, eat more."

Fu Chen was eating the food made by Xu Zhiru and fell into deep thought for a while.

He looked at Xu Zhiru, and in a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of Ning Nanxue.

"Nanxue..." Fu Chen subconsciously called out Ning Nanxue's name.

Xu Zhiru's smile froze on her face instantly. She looked at Fu Chen, her eyes filled with shock and hurt. "Ah Chen, you...what did you call me?"

Fu Chen also realized his own loss of composure, and he quickly said: "Zhiru, I... I didn't mean it, I just..."

"You just miss her, right?" Xu Zhiru couldn't hold back her tears. "Ah Chen, are you still unable to forget her?"

"Zhiru, don't cry, I didn't..." Fu Chen wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain at all.

"Ah Chen, you don't have to say anything, I understand." Xu Zhiru wiped her tears and forced a smile, "It's okay, Ah Chen, I will always be with you. No matter who you are thinking about in your heart, I will always be with you."

Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru who was trying hard to hold back her tears, and felt guilty.

He hurt Xu Zhiru's heart, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

"Ah Chen, don't look at me like that." Xu Zhiru forced a smile, "I'm really fine. As long as I can be with you, I'm very happy."

"Zhiru..." Fu Chen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xu Zhiru.

"Ah Chen, let's eat." Xu Zhiru picked up the chopsticks and put some food on Fu Chen. "These are the dishes you like. Eat more."

Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's gentle appearance, feeling mixed emotions.

He ate his meal in silence, but he had no taste for it.

"Sister, I'm here to see you!" Xu Zhao's voice suddenly came from the door, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the restaurant.

"Azhao? Why are you here?" Xu Zhiru quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"I came to see you and brother-in-law." Xu Zhao said with a smile, but his eyes fell on Fu Chen. "Brother-in-law, how are you doing recently?"

"Yeah, it's okay." Fu Chen responded indifferently, with a hint of alienation in his tone.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you lost to Ning Nanxue in this bidding?" Xu Zhao asked tentatively.

"Xiao Zhao, stop talking." Xu Zhiru hurriedly stopped him. She didn't want Fu Chen to think about those unpleasant things again.

"Sister, I'm just concerned about my brother-in-law." Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't take it to heart. Victory and defeat are common in the military. I'll just win it back next time."

"Yeah, I see." Fu Chen nodded and said, "Azhao, have you eaten? Come and have something to eat with me. It's all made by your sister."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Xu Zhao was not polite either. He sat down at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Xu Zhiru looked at Xu Zhao wolfing down the food and shook her head helplessly.

She knew that Xu Zhao came here on purpose to gather information. He wanted to know Fu Chen's recent situation and his attitude towards Ning Nanxue.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do? Just let it go?" Xu Zhao asked while eating.

"Azhao, stop asking." Xu Zhiru stopped him again.

"Sister, please stop stopping me." Xu Zhao said dissatisfiedly, "I'm concerned about my brother-in-law and the future of our family."

"Azhao, I appreciate your kindness." Fu Chen was obviously a little impatient and said, "I have my own plans for this matter, so don't worry about it."

"Brother-in-law, can you tell me what your plans are?" Xu Zhao asked, "I can help you with some ideas."

"Azhao, don't worry about your brother-in-law's affairs." Xu Zhiru said angrily, "Just go back after dinner."

"Sister, why are you like this?" Xu Zhao said dissatisfiedly, "I'm just concerned about you."

"Okay, Azhao, stop talking." Fu Chen said, "I'm really fine, you don't have to worry."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Seeing that Fu Chen and Xu Zhiru were unwilling to talk more, Xu Zhao had no choice but to give up. He stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, sister, I'm leaving first. You guys take your time eating."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Xu Zhiru sent Xu Zhao to the door.

After Xu Zhao left, the restaurant fell silent again. Fu Chen and Xu Zhiru ate their meal in silence, neither of them speaking.

"A Chen, don't blame A Zhao, he also cares about you." Xu Zhiru broke the silence and said softly.

"I know." Fu Chen nodded and said, "Zhiru, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

"Well, I believe you." Xu Zhiru smiled and said, "Ah Chen, let's work hard together, okay?"

"Okay." Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru and forced a smile.

At this time, Ning Nanxue was sitting alone in the office, handling Huayun Group's projects.

She worked with full concentration, putting all her energy into her work.
