Su Xiaoxiao walked barefoot on the golden sand. Although it was a little cold, she screamed like a child as the waves washed over her feet.
Standing at the villa entrance answering the phone, Nangong Yi's eyes remained fixed on Su Xiaoxiao. Watching her happily skipping and jumping barefoot on the beach, the coldness on his face gradually faded.
This afternoon, the consortium had a collaborative project with the Su Group, and he arranged for Luo Yutong to accompany him to take meeting minutes, originally to confirm a few things.
Unexpectedly, after meeting his mother, the other party genuinely believed that he had found a backer in the Nangong Group, and even dared to express his heartache over the price offered by the Nangong Group when Dong Jinyang and Shan Jinxi were negotiating the final cooperation amount.
After Nangong Yi finished explaining things to Dong Jinyang, he immediately dialed Shan Jinxi's number.
It's clear that the Nangong Consortium won't make any money from this collaboration between the two companies; all the profits will ultimately go to the Su Group.
He did this simply because he wanted to protect what Su Xiaoxiao cared about in his own way.
"Nangong Yi, I warned you that day at the hospital: if you dared to protect Luo Yutong, I would take care of you too!"
As soon as the call connected, Shan Jinxi's threatening voice, filled with warning, reached his ears.
Nangong Yi simply didn't pay attention.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao facing the sea and said earnestly to Shan Jinxi on the other end, "I know you will handle Su Xiaoxiao's matter very carefully, but so will I! I took the initiative to approach you for this cooperation. I have some personal matters to attend to today and cannot meet with you. I hope you can give me another opportunity to talk in person tomorrow!"
"There's no need!"
Without even considering it, Shan Jinxi directly rejected the cooperation between the two companies.
Nangong Yi frowned slightly. When he saw Su Xiaoxiao waving to him from a distance, the determination in his eyes deepened.
“I know you have the ability to get the Su Group a chance to win the bid, but don’t forget that the Luo Group is a real estate development company. They will definitely do everything they can to win this bid. I hope you will think it over carefully. I will contact you again tomorrow.”
Nangong Yi hung up the phone after saying this last sentence.
He saw the little woman waving to him from the riverbank and immediately took off his shoes and ran towards her.
"Nangong Yi, you're so slow!"
Su Xiaoxiao had actually been watching him the whole time, and she only breathed a long sigh of relief when he finally finished his call and put down his phone.
She had just paid special attention to the time; Nangong Yi's phone call lasted a full half hour.
Aren't you cold?
Nangong Yi only realized the water was a little cold when it was up to his feet, and Su Xiaoxiao had been playing in the water for so long.
"Xiaoxiao, don't soak your feet in the water."
"It's not cold at all. I haven't been this happy in a long time. You can't spoil my fun."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she immediately turned to face Jiang Hai.
She spread her hands to her mouth, facing the boundless river and sea, and shouted with all her might, "I, Su Xiaoxiao, am so happy today! Nangong Yi, thank you—"
"Cough cough cough—"
She had just finished yelling when a gust of wind accidentally choked her, causing her to cough uncontrollably.
"You silly goose!"
Nangong Yi patted her back tenderly, his eyes filled with a deep sense of doting affection.
