Ning Nanxue raised her head and saw that it was Fu Chen. Her brows furrowed slightly and her tone was cold.

"Mr. Fu, it's so late, do you have anything else to do?"

Fu Chen forced a smile on his face and tried to make his tone sound more natural.

"Boss Ning, I see you're still working overtime and it's pretty hard, so I thought I'd come over to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Ning Nanxue sneered, her eyes full of mockery.

"Mr. Fu is really kind, but please don't bother with the Ning Group's affairs."

"If Mr. Fu is alright, please go back. I'm still very busy."

Fu Chen seemed not to have heard Ning Nanxue's order to leave. He walked straight to the desk and his eyes fell on the documents piled on the table.

"Mr. Ning is really dedicated. He is still studying the cooperation plan so late at night." Fu Chen seemed to pick up a document casually and began to look through it.

Ning Nanxue's face darkened instantly, and her tone became extremely cold.

"Fu Chen, what are you doing?"

Fu Chen seemed to be startled, his hands shook, and the documents almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly put down the documents, an innocent expression on his face, and explained in a panicked tone.

"Mr. Ning, you misunderstood. I'm just... just curious. I want to see the cooperation plan between Ning Group and Huayun Group and learn from it."

"After all, the Fu Group has also been expanding into new businesses recently and wants to learn from the successful experience of the Ning Group."

"Study?" Ning Nanxue seemed to have heard a huge joke, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Mr. Fu is so modest. The Fu Group is so large and powerful, but it still needs to 'learn' from our Ning Group?"

"Or is it that Mr. Fu actually wants to 'steal' our skills and get a peek at our business secrets?"

Ning Nanxue's voice became colder and colder, and her eyes became sharper and sharper, like a blade, piercing Fu Chen's heart.

Fu Chen was speechless after being questioned by Ning Nanxue. His face turned pale and blue, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

He didn't expect Ning Nanxue to be so direct and ruthless and expose his lies on the spot.

"Mr. Ning, you really misunderstood me. I..." Fu Chen wanted to argue, but found that he could not find any excuse at all.

Ning Nanxue didn't give him a chance to quibble and interrupted him directly with an extremely cold tone.

"Fu Chen, I don't want to waste time with you here, please leave my office immediately."

"If you don't leave, I'm going to call security."

Ning Nanxue's tone was full of threats, and her eyes became sharp, as if she was going to call the security guard in and kick him out in the next second.

Fu Chen knew that he had completely embarrassed himself today.

His face looked extremely ugly and he could no longer stay there, so he could only turn around and leave in embarrassment.

"Ning Nanxue, just wait for me!" Fu Chen cursed fiercely in his heart and hurriedly left the president's office.

Ning Nanxue looked at Fu Chen's fleeing back in a panic, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of disdain and disgust.

Jiang Tingchen soon learned that Fu Chen had spied on the cooperation documents.

He rushed to Ning Group and came to Ning Nanxue's office.

"Xue'er, has Fu Chen come to see you?" Jiang Tingchen asked worriedly.

Ning Nanxue nodded and told Jiang Tingchen exactly what had happened.

After listening to Ning Nanxue's narration, Jiang Tingchen's face instantly darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Fu Chen is really going too far. He actually dared to come to your office and snoop on your business secrets. He's simply lawless!"

Ning Nanxue seemed very calm, and said in a light tone: "If he wants to see, then let him see. Anyway, he can't see anything."

"We have already made thorough preparations for our cooperation with Huayun Group. All core secrets are encrypted and stored. Even if he gets the documents, he won't be able to understand them."

Jiang Tingchen felt a little relieved after hearing this, but his tone was still serious.

Jiang Tingchen returned to the office with a frown and a serious expression.

He walked to the French window and looked out at the city lights, his thoughts racing.

"Notify everyone immediately that all documents related to the cooperation must be encrypted again at the highest level to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Jiang Tingchen ordered into the air, his voice low and powerful.

In the dark, someone immediately responded and left.

Jiang Tingchen turned around, walked to the desk, picked up a document, and looked sharp.

"Fortunately, we were prepared beforehand and took multiple encryption measures. It's wishful thinking for Fu Chen to find out anything from these documents." Jiang Tingchen curled his lips into a sneer, his eyes full of disdain.

He just found Fu Chen's self-righteous behavior ridiculous.

"However, since Fu Chen is so impatient, we can make good use of him." Jiang Tingchen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

Ning Group, President's Office.

Ning Nanxue sat in the office chair, listening to Secretary Chen's report, a meaningful smile slowly appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"Is there really any movement from Fu Chen's side?" Ning Nanxue asked in a light tone, as if everything was within her expectations.

Secretary Chen nodded, a hint of excitement on his face. "Yes, President Ning, people from the Fu Group have been secretly inquiring about our company's financial situation recently. They seem to suspect that there is a problem with our capital chain."

Ning Nanxue chuckled, a sly glint in her eyes. "Capital shortage? Then let them 'confirm' it."

"Secretary Chen, spread the word that the Ning Group has recently encountered some difficulties in capital turnover due to its rapid expansion, but emphasize that it is only temporary and will be resolved soon." Ning Nanxue gave the order in a calm tone, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

Secretary Chen immediately understood Ning Nanxue's meaning and smiled knowingly, "Boss Ning, I understand. I'll make sure Fu Chen is convinced."

Ning Nanxue nodded in satisfaction, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "Since Fu Chen wants to find something to hold against me so badly, then I'll give him one and let him hold on to it."

Fu Group, President's Office.

Fu Chen sat in his office chair, looking smug, with an unconcealable smile on his lips.

"Ning Nanxue, Ning Nanxue, you have come to this day!" Fu Chen murmured to himself, his tone full of gloating.

On the desk, there were a number of "investigation reports" that detailed the "anomalies" in the Ning Group's recent financial situation.

"The capital chain is tight, working capital is insufficient, and bank loans are blocked..." Fu Chen looked at them one by one, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"I said that the cooperation between Ning Nanxue and Huayun Group is definitely not that easy. They are expanding so fast and their ambitions are quite big, but unfortunately they lack the ability. Sooner or later they will fall." Fu Chen said in a sarcastic tone, his eyes full of contempt.
