Chapter 78 Rushing to His Car
The first floor lobby of Oteng Group.
"I'm sorry, Miss An, the CEO's office said you don't have an appointment with Mr. Lu today, so they can't let you in."
The receptionist politely told the beautiful woman in front of her, "If you need help with Mr. Lu, you can make an appointment with the president in advance."
An Ning stood in the lobby in a plain dress, carrying a computer bag and frowning slightly.
Lu Xiyan didn't see her.
I lowered my eyes to look at the phone in my hand. I didn't get a reply to the message I sent him, not even a simple "hmm".
He also hung up the call to him.
She told him early in the morning to come to Oteng with the project book, but was stopped in the lobby.
"Could you please call the president's office?" An Ning asked softly, "Just tell them that Haowei's project manager wants to discuss a collaboration with President Lu."
The receptionist nodded slightly, dialed the number, and informed the president's office. She then looked at An Ning with some embarrassment while holding the phone, "Ms. An, President Lu said he's not available in the near future, and he's not considering cooperating with your company for the time being."
"Not considering cooperation?" An Ning's heart tightened, and before she hung up the phone, she hurriedly said, "Then could you please make an appointment for me with the president's office? I want to talk to President Lu in person."
The person on the other end of the line seemed to have heard her question. Before the receptionist could speak, Jiang Yao's voice came over, "Mr. Lu will not be meeting any guests other than partners for the time being."
The receptionist hung up the phone and shook her head slightly at An Ning.
An Ning thanked him softly and walked towards the door.
The words kept ringing in my ears - "I never want to see you again!"
A sudden feeling of numbness and sourness arose in An Ning's heart, and her eyes trembled slightly.
He always keeps his word and will definitely do what he promised her.
Now that he said he would never see her again, he would not give her the chance to see him again.
An Ning bit the corner of her lips lightly. If she couldn't meet Lu Xiyan, the cooperation would not be possible.
If the cooperation cannot be reached, she will not be able to stay in Haowei.
But she still faces Li Chunfang's high monthly medical expenses, and she also has to support Xianxian...
An Ning stood at the entrance of the towering office building, pinching her aching eyebrows hard.
......
In the president's office, Jiang Yao hung up the phone and knocked on the office door with a frown.
A man's cold voice came from inside the door, "Come in."
Jiang Yao pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Lu, I've already conveyed your request to the front desk. They won't see anyone from Haowei Group."
The man hummed, his expressionless face as he reviewed the documents in front of him.
Jiang Yao hesitated and said, "Does it also... include Miss An?"
Lu Xiyan paused, looked at Jiang Yao, and spoke clearly, "Anyone from Haowei Group, Assistant Jiang, don't you understand?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Yao was shocked by his cold eyes and quickly replied, "I understand, Mr. Lu."
Coming out of the office, Jiang Yao shivered with fear.
He touched the back of his neck which felt cold, and couldn't understand what was wrong with Mr. Lu. He was so concerned about Miss An a few days ago, but why didn't he want to see her even though she was downstairs today?
Jiang Yao sighed. It seemed that Mr. Lu would not be in a good mood whether he met Miss An or not.
......
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the setting sun dyed half the sky red, and the buildings towering into the sky blocked most of the salted egg yolk-like sunset.
A black customized Maybach slowly drove out of the Oteng Group garage.
Just as I was about to merge into the traffic, a figure rushed out from the roadside—
Jiang Yao subconsciously stepped on the brakes, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as his body straightened.
"Mr. Lu...I think I bumped into someone..."
The man in the back seat was unexpectedly pushed forward. Upon hearing this, he frowned and looked up at the driver's seat.
Jiang Yao's voice trembled, "It seems to be Miss An, Miss An."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the back door being opened and slammed shut.
In the blink of an eye, the man in the back seat got out of the car.
Lu Xiyan strode towards the front of the car, but suddenly stopped when he saw the figure struggling to get up from the ground.
The man's hands hanging by his side suddenly tightened, and dark thoughts surged in his deep eyes.
"Miss An? Is it really you?"
Jiang Yao hurriedly got out of the car and immediately went to help her. "Are you okay? Why did you suddenly rush over from the side of the road?"
"I'm fine, Assistant Jiang." An Ning frowned slightly as she stood up from the ground and waved her hand to refuse his help. "You didn't hit me."
Hearing this, Jiang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked her up and down, then suddenly frowned and shouted, "Miss An, your leg is bleeding!"
An Ning followed his gaze and saw that his knee was bruised and bleeding.
It wasn't a big problem, but her skin was too white, so the bright red blood on her legs looked very scarlet and glaring.
"It's okay, just a little scrape."
An Ning adjusted the hem of her skirt at her knees, looked up at the man beside her, and was suddenly startled.
Lu Xiyan's eyes were fixed on her, and his deep and ocean-like eyes made her feel uneasy.
She said softly, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Xiyan's eyes swept across her slender white legs under her knee-length skirt. Where her left knee was bleeding, blood beads slid down her calf.
His eyes moved up and fell on her fair face.
"Miss An, are you deliberately trying to scam me?" He raised the corner of his lip and sneered, "Are you trying to extort money?"
An Ning's face turned pale, and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, "Mr. Lu misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
"It was my own carelessness. It has nothing to do with Mr. Lu." She raised her eyes and looked at the man's stern face. "Mr. Lu, it's not easy to see you. Can you give me ten minutes to look over the project book that Hao Weixin has drafted?"
Afraid he'd refuse, she quickly added, "I understand that the Oteng Group's current food sector is primarily focused on the medical field, especially assisting medical professionals in overcoming difficult and complicated illnesses. Therefore, Hao Wei's project proposal is specifically tailored to Oteng's needs. It will only take you ten minutes, is that okay?"
"So Miss An did this to discuss cooperation with me." Lu Xiyan walked up to her, raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, saying sarcastically, "You are really dedicated."
"But I have no interest in cooperating with your company." He refused bluntly, looking down at An Ning's bleeding knee. "But I will pay for Miss An's medical expenses."
"Of course," he chuckled, "Miss An will also need to bear legal responsibility for scamming someone."
Hearing this, An Ning's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly clenched her fists.
She raised her eyes, full of disbelief, "You want to sue me?"
