Ai Chen is Nangong Jue's assistant for the European region, and is actually the head of the European region, so it's normal for her to come to the meeting.
Le Yao had mixed feelings about this girl because she lost her right to be a mother in order to save Nangong Jue, which was very cruel for a woman.
Moreover, the grace of being saved is a great grace, and if possible, she would like to express her gratitude to Nangong Jue together.
However, her intentions were impure; she wanted to sleep with her man and take his place, so she couldn't feel grateful.
Ai Chen smiled slightly at Le Yao, putting away his previous aggression and becoming more open-minded. However, he quickly lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within.
Le Yao nodded slightly; she wouldn't neglect basic manners.
Just then, under the table, Nangong Jue suddenly grasped Le Yao's hand.
Le Yao turned her head and glanced at him in surprise.
Nangong Jue also looked over and even smiled at her.
Le Yao's discomfort vanished instantly. As long as the man stood firm in his position, no outsider could infiltrate him, just like Uncle Qiao. So, as long as he didn't go too far, she wouldn't hold a grudge.
Sitting opposite her, Ai Chen watched the two gaze deeply into each other's eyes, and her hands unconsciously clenched. She had thought about giving up, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. The seat next to A-Jue should have been hers.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze and subconsciously looked over, only to meet Huo Yi's ambiguous smile. Her heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her eyes, taking a long time to calm down.
Huo Yi, that damned man, he's ruined my plans time and time again.
Never mind, I'll find an opportunity. Today, she has to control her emotions.
The morning meeting ended quickly, with an hour and a half allotted for lunch and rest. The meeting will resume at 1 p.m.
The Zunjue Group has three employee restaurants. Today, one of them was specially set aside to accommodate the meeting attendees.
Le Yao and Nangong Jue were no exception and went to the restaurant with everyone.
Because the meeting attendees come from all over the world, the restaurant offers cuisines from around the globe, ensuring that people from any place can enjoy food from their hometown.
Nangong Jue and Le Yao both chose Chinese food, each ordering a bowl of noodles with soybean paste before finding a place to sit down.
"My lord, my lord's wife," Ai Chen said, walking over with a plate. "May I sit down?"
Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao.
"Excuse me, this seat is taken." Le Yao refused her request, "There are seats available next to me."
Ai Chen's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly smiled: "Then I'll sit here. I didn't expect the food at headquarters to be so good. I can even eat authentic Sichuan cuisine." Although she was sitting next to them, she still spoke to them as if they were old friends. "Lord Duke, when can I be transferred to work at headquarters?" She had mentioned it before, and Lord Duke had originally agreed, but later he refused for some reason. It must be Han Binglan's doing.
Le Yao didn't say anything, and kept her head down eating her noodles. Anyway, she wasn't familiar with the other person, and he was her blatant rival in love, so she wasn't going to bother with him.
Nangong Jue didn't say anything either, and just kept his head down eating his noodles. At this time, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. If his wife got upset, he would have to sleep in the guest room tonight, which he didn't want.
