The phone rang several times before it was connected.

"Hello." Ning Nanxue's voice sounded weak and a little nasal.

"Nanxue, it's me." Fu Chen tried to make his voice sound gentler, "I heard that you and Jiang Tingchen..."

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Fu?" Ning Nanxue interrupted him with a cold voice.

Fu Chen paused and said, "Regarding the cooperation between Ning's and Fu's, I think we can discuss it again. The conditions are negotiable."

He thought that now that Ning Nanxue no longer had Jiang Tingchen's support, she should be much easier to talk to.

Who knew words could be so sharp?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"I'm tired." Ning Nanxue's voice lowered, revealing impatience. "I don't want to talk about this. I'm hanging up."

“Beep…beep…beep…”

Fu Chen listened to the busy tone and held the phone for a long time without moving.

What's going on with Ning Nanxue? What on earth does she want to do?

Su Yao was holding a cup of coffee, and her mood was as good as the sunshine outside the window. The play downstairs was better than expected.

Su Yao hooked her lips. The first step was done.

Su Yao herself didn't believe this. She wished that Jiang Tingchen would no longer have Ning Nanxue in his heart.

The next day, Su Yao came to see Ning Nanxue as usual.

At this moment, Ning Nanxue's personal cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw a photo on the screen.

The light was very dim and the angle was odd, and I could vaguely see the silhouette of a man walking into a private club that looked quite high-end.

The man's figure was about 70% similar to Jiang Tingchen. There was a line of text under the photo: "Ms. Ning, I took this photo by chance. Mr. Jiang seems to be going here often recently, and there seems to be someone else around him."

The sender is an anonymous number.

Ning Nanxue's hand trembled, and the phone fell to the carpet with a "click".

"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Su Yao asked in a surprised look, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

This photo is naturally her masterpiece of "kindness".

She had carefully chosen the location, specifically one that was full of people of all kinds and that would easily spark people's imaginations. She wanted Ning Nanxue to be completely confused and collapse on the spot.

Ning Nanxue's body went limp, and she collapsed on the sofa, her face pale. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably as she picked up her phone and clicked on the photo, tears welling up in her eyes. "He...how could he..."

She covered her face and burst into tears: "He said the company had an emergency, but it turned out to be like this..."

Su Yao was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face. She leaned over and hugged Ning Nanxue, her voice so soft that it could squeeze water out of her: "Xue'er, don't worry, maybe there is a misunderstanding? The photo doesn't look very real, maybe I have mistaken the person..."

"It can't be wrong. It's him. He wore this dress just two days ago..." Ning Nanxue sobbed, her voice breaking. "He lied to me. He has been lying to me all along! He said he loved me... It was all a lie!"

Su Yao saw Ning Nanxue's heartbroken look, and her heart finally settled down. It seemed that Ning Nanxue believed it.

"Xue'er, don't cry first, listen to me." Su Yao patted her back and rolled her eyes. "Men, sometimes they are confused and easily attracted by the freshness of the outside world. But if he still has you in his heart, there is room for maneuver. Don't question him now. What if you make things worse and push him out? "

Ning Nanxue raised her head with tears in her eyes, looking at Su Yao helplessly: "Then...what should I do?"

"Calm down and take a good rest." Su Yao wiped her tears. "I'll help you find out about Tingchen. I also know a few people in Huayun, maybe I can ask them about the situation. Don't worry, I'm here."

"Su Yao," Ning Nanxue choked and held Su Yao's hand tightly, "Thank you, thank you so much, you are the only one willing to help me at this time."

Su Yao left Ning's house triumphantly.

As soon as she got into the car, she took out a small mirror and carefully touched up her makeup. The face in the mirror was radiant.

She immediately called Jiang Tingchen's secretary. She remembered the secretary, a young man who looked quite astute.

"Secretary Zhou? I'm Su Yao." Su Yao's voice was warm and familiar.

Secretary Zhou on the other end of the phone spoke in a polite but distant voice: "Hello, Miss Su. How can I help you?" He didn't have a good impression of this Miss Su. Everyone in the company knew that she wanted to get close to President Jiang.

"Here's what happened. I just came from Xue'er. She was in a bad mood. I'm afraid she had a fight with Tingchen." Su Yao sighed, looking worried. "Is Tingchen burdened with work recently? Or... encountered something upsetting? Xue'er cried a lot and said that Tingchen had some opinions about her. As a friend, I always want to help persuade him. Secretary Zhou, can you tell me some of Tingchen's recent arrangements, or the reason for his bad mood? I can also find a time to help them mediate."

Secretary Zhou held the phone and frowned slightly.

As a secretary, he couldn't say much about what happened between President Jiang and Miss Ning.

Besides, President Jiang had already instructed that he and Miss Ning's private affairs should not be revealed to Su Yao.

"Ms. Su, I don't know about President Jiang's personal affairs. As for work, everything is normal." Secretary Zhou's answer was flawless. "It's best for President Jiang and Miss Ning to discuss the issues between them. They will handle it."

Su Yao hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard. She was unhappy, but she maintained a polite face: "Is that so? Then I'll trouble Secretary Zhou. If Tingchen needs any help from me, please let him know."

"Okay, Miss Su." Secretary Zhou hung up the phone and immediately reported to Jiang Tingchen the whole story of Su Yao's call.

At the same time, in a private room of another high-end restaurant in the city, Fu Chen was having dinner with a partner.

He got up to go to the bathroom halfway, and when he passed by the lobby bar, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

It was Su Yao. She was smiling radiantly into the phone, and her demeanor was completely different from the calm and composed Su Yao in front of him when they were discussing cooperation.

Opposite her sat a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Fu Chen recognized him. He was Jiang Tingchen's secretary, whose surname was Zhou.

Fu Chen paused and his eyes turned cold.

Su Yao and Jiang Tingchen's secretary? When did they get involved?

Su Yao cooperated with him, saying that she wanted to break up Jiang Tingchen and Ning Nanxue so that she could take their place.

But now, she is secretly hooking up with Jiang Tingchen's people.

Fu Chen is not stupid. A woman like Su Yao... he started to think about it.

The night was as dark as ink, and figures were swaying at the charity dinner. Jiang Tingchen, dressed in a well-ironed dark suit, was chatting quietly with a woman in a champagne-colored dress, occasionally raising his glass to greet her.

That lady is Huayun Group’s recent partner in a major project, Lin Wanyi, young and promising, and she looks like someone who is not to be trifled with.
