Ning Nanxue's questioning left Fu Chen speechless for a moment, and his doubts were shaken a little.

Yes, if Ning Nanxue really wanted to harm him, why would she come back and wade into this mess?

"Then why did Huayun Group suddenly terminate the contract?" Fu Chen's tone softened a little, but he was still full of doubts.

Ning Nanxue shrugged, her tone helpless: "Mr. Fu, how should I know? Perhaps Huayun Group really has some strategic adjustments. No one can predict such business decisions."

"Instead of questioning me here, why don't you think carefully about how to deal with the current crisis and save the Ning Group."

Ning Nanxue's words completely made Fu Chen lose his temper. He knew that if he continued asking, he would not get anything out of it and it would only add to his troubles.

"Hmph!" Fu Chen snorted coldly, his tone unfriendly, "Ning Nanxue, I hope you didn't lie to me."

"Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, Fu Chen flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Ning Nanxue alone, sitting quietly in the office.

After Fu Chen left, Ning Nanxue immediately picked up her phone and called Jiang Tingchen.

"Tingchen, did you know that Huayun Group suddenly terminated the contract?" Ning Nanxue asked straight to the point in a serious tone.

Jiang Tingchen's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of confusion, "Terminate the contract? What do you mean by terminate the contract? I don't know."

"Huayun Group has terminated its project cooperation with Ning Group. President Li just came to Ning Group in person to announce it." Ning Nanxue's tone carried a hint of blame and worry.

"What?" Jiang Tingchen's voice suddenly rose, his tone full of surprise, "How could this happen? I have no idea about this!"

"Tingchen, you really don't know?" Ning Nanxue asked with a hint of doubt in her tone.

Jiang Tingchen quickly explained: "Xue'er, I really don't know. Huayun Group's decisions have always been made by the top management. I am only responsible for you and them in the specific implementation work. How could I know about such strategic matters in advance?"

Jiang Tingchen's tone was sincere and he didn't sound like he was lying.

Ning Nanxue was silent for a moment, then her tone softened a bit: "Tingchen, I know you won't harm me, but Huayun Group's sudden termination of the contract is really strange."

"This project is extremely important to the Ning Group. If we terminate this cooperation, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Tingchen said anxiously, "Xue'er, don't worry, I will immediately find out what is going on."

"Why did Huayun Group suddenly change its mind? Did something go wrong?"

"I will contact the senior management of Huayun Group as soon as possible to understand the situation and see if there is any room for recovery."

"Even if it's truly irreparable, I will do my best to compensate the Ning Group for its losses and will not let you come to any harm."

Jiang Tingchen's tone was gentle yet firm, full of soothing power.

Ning Nanxue's worries eased a little after listening to Jiang Tingchen's words.

"Tingchen, thank you." Ning Nanxue said softly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone.

"Silly boy, why are you thanking me?" Jiang Tingchen said gently, "Your business is my business. Of course I will do my best to help you."

"The most important thing for you now is to stabilize the situation of the Ning Group and prevent Fu Chen from getting hold of any evidence."

"I will take care of the termination of the contract with Huayun Group. Just wait for my news."

Ning Nanxue nodded, her tone becoming more relaxed. "Then please help me find out the situation as quickly as possible. If you have any news, please tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, Xue'er, I will contact you as soon as I have any news." Jiang Tingchen promised.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

After this, Jiang Tingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he did not reveal the truth. If Ning Nanxue knew that Huayun Group suffered such a huge loss just to help her, I am afraid she would not easily accept such kindness.

Ning Nanxue put down her phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the brightly lit city night scene outside the window with a complex and deep look in her eyes.

Jiang Tingchen's words sounded reasonable, but the more he acted clueless, the deeper Ning Nanxue's doubts grew.

She always felt that Jiang Tingchen seemed to be hiding something, but she couldn't find any evidence.

Perhaps she was just being overly suspicious? Was Huayun Group's termination of the contract really just a coincidence?

Ning Nanxue sighed, rubbed her eyebrows, tried to calm herself down, and think about her next move.

At this time, in the president's office of Fu Group, Xu Zhiru was sitting at her desk, staring at the computer screen intently.

After years of ups and downs in the business world, his calmness and self-control, which had allowed him to remain calm even in the face of a collapse, completely collapsed at this moment.

The acquisition of Ning Group was a carefully planned move by him. He thought that he could kill two birds with one stone, not only swallowing up the huge assets of Ning Group, but also completely conquer Ning Nanxue, the unruly woman.

He was full of confidence and thought everything was under control, but unexpectedly, Huayun Group's sudden withdrawal of investment was like a blow to the head, completely stunning him.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Fu Chen's voice was cold and filled with anger.

The door was pushed open and Xu Zhiru walked in cautiously, holding a cup of steaming coffee in her hand.

She was slightly startled when she saw the mess in the office, then showed a worried look and quickly walked up to Fu Chen.

"Ah Chen, are you okay?"

Xu Zhiru's voice was soft, with a hint of concern.

She gently placed the coffee on the corner of the table, raised her head, and looked at Fu Chen cautiously.

Fu Chen glanced at Xu Zhiru with cold eyes and said nothing.

Xu Zhiru seemed unaware of Fu Chen's indifference and continued softly, "When I heard the noise, I knew you must be very angry. Huayun Group's sudden termination of the contract was indeed too much."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of grievance: "I know this project is very important to the company. You've put a lot of effort into it. Now that it's suddenly turned out like this, you must be feeling very uncomfortable."

Xu Zhiru bit her lip, mustered up her courage, reached out, and gently pulled the corner of Fu Chen's clothes.

Fu Chen finally spoke, his voice hoarse and a little tired: "What are you doing here?"

Xu Zhiru quickly said, "I was worried about you and wanted to come see you and bring you a cup of coffee. I know you must be very tired after working all day."

She picked up the coffee and handed it to Fu Chen, saying gently, "Ah Chen, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."

Fu Chen didn't take the coffee, but just looked at Xu Zhiru coldly.

Xu Zhiru felt a little guilty when Fu Chen looked at her, and her eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and continued softly, "Ah Chen, I know you've been in a bad mood recently and your attitude towards me has become much colder, but I can understand, really."

She paused, her tone becoming even softer. "I know I'm not as good as Ning Nanxue, nor as capable as her. I can't help you at work, but I will do my best to do everything I can. I will take good care of myself and not cause you any trouble. I will be obedient and not make you angry. As long as you can be a little happier, I will be satisfied."
