Du Man's timing was very accurate. When she arrived, Lu An Ning had just finished work. The mother and daughter met downstairs. Du Man looked around with a gentle smile on her face.
"Before, I was worried that you'd have trouble finding a job after leaving Lu's. I knew your father was targeting you. Now that I see your work environment is so good, I'm relieved. Are your colleagues treating you well? Are you still a director?"
Lu Anning took Du Man to a nearby restaurant. She had reserved a table in advance. Du Man was a bit picky about the environment and didn't like places that were too noisy.
Du Man was very happy to see that Lu An Ning still remembered his preferences.
She held Lu Anning's hand, her face full of relief: "I knew you were the most filial child."
Throughout the meal, Du Man talked about trivial matters, and Lu An Ning followed her lead. However, Du Man checked the time several times, and the meal was quickly finished. Lu An Ning wanted to order another dessert for Du Man, but Du Man refused.
"I recently gave up sugar and haven't eaten desserts for a long time."
Lu Anning responded: "Then I'll take you around?"
"No, it's too sunny, there's nothing to see. How about you take me to your office? I want to see the environment of your office."
Lu Anning looked at Duman for a long time and said, "What's so interesting about the office?"
"You're used to only reporting good news and not bad news. I'm worried if you don't let me see it with my own eyes. Mom doesn't understand the stuff you do at work, so are you worried I might see some confidential information?"
Lu Anning smiled: "How could that be."
Du Man insisted, so Lu An Ning took Du Man all the way to the office and let her sit at her workstation.
"Mom, what do you want to drink?"
"I want to drink your hand-ground coffee."
Seeing Lu Anning was stunned for a moment, Du Man quickly said, "Forget it! This is a company, there's no need to be so particular. Anything is fine."
"Hand-grinded coffee is fine! Please wait here for a moment and don't touch anything on the table, especially the computer. This is company policy."
Du Man nodded casually and watched Lu An Ning enter the tea room. Hearing the noise, she immediately turned around and opened Lu An Ning's computer. A pop-up window prompted her to enter a password. Du Man stared at the keyboard for a while, quickly pressed a few numbers, and the computer turned on.
She was overjoyed and took out a USB flash drive from her bag. She kept an eye on the movements in the tea room while looking for what she wanted.
The noise in the tea room continued, giving Duman plenty of time to finish everything. When Lu Anning came over with the freshly brewed coffee, Duman was killing time with his phone.
"Mom, your coffee."
"It smells so good. This is the taste!" Duman took a sip and was very satisfied.
Lu Anning glanced casually, his eyes falling on the keyboard and mouse next to the computer. His eyes dimmed, then quickly replaced with a gentle light, and he continued to chat and laugh with Duman.
Before finishing her coffee, Du Man suddenly said that she had something to do and had to leave first. Lu An Ning personally sent her downstairs. Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu An Ning suddenly called her.
"Mom, do you really think of me as your daughter in your heart?"
Du Man laughed angrily: "Why are you asking such a silly question, kid? In my heart, you will always be my good daughter."
Lu An Ning smiled and said nothing more. He watched her get into the car and disappear from his sight, his whole body cold.
For the next two days, everything went on as normal. However, Tang Jingyuan was quick to notice that Lu Anning would occasionally lose her focus. When he asked her about it, she would plead nervousness to avoid further questioning.
Tang Rui's new school was arranged, and the bidding meeting and his enrollment were on the same day, so Lu Anning couldn't take him there. He lived at home these days, and the two of them were getting along quite well.
In the morning, Lu Anning was in high spirits and personally poured a glass of milk for Tang Rui.
"New school, don't be like before. Don't let yourself be bullied, and make more friends. Got it?"
Tang Rui snorted softly: "Mind your own business! Don't embarrass me."
Lu Anning smiled and said, "Wait for my good news. I'll invite you to the amusement park then."
"Childish." Tang Rui complained, but still drank the milk obediently and went out with his schoolbag on his back.
Lu Anning forgot the nervousness in his heart for a moment. It was not until he arrived at the bidding site and saw the industry elites that his heart began to beat irregularly.
Confidence is one thing, nervousness is another.
Inevitably, they ran into Lu Zhenghao and Pei Chengyi. Now, everyone knew about the two companies' partnership, and they looked at Lu Zhenghao with envy. Everyone knew that the most likely winners this time were Hongyue Group and Feiyun Technology, and they were just there to compete.
The presence of the Third Master of the Pei family was a pleasant surprise for the others. However, the Third Master's aura was so strong that even when some people saw him, they didn't dare to greet him and could only watch from afar.
Pei Chengyi brought Lu Zhenghao forward to greet them, his eyes falling on Xiang Yang and Lu Anning.
"Uncle, this bidding is extremely important to me. I will not show any mercy."
"No need, everyone depends on their own ability."
"Okay! I'll prepare a celebration banquet, and I hope you'll do me the honor of attending."
"Then let me see your true abilities."
Pei Chengyi smiled with a fake smile. Only at this moment would he be qualified to have an equal dialogue with Tang Jingyuan. Once he defeated Tang Jingyuan, the Jiangcheng Pei family's young master would no longer be a legend in the business world.
"I will definitely not let you down." Pei Chengyi took Lu Zhenghao in first. Before leaving, Lu Zhenghao smiled provocatively at Lu An Ning, but Lu An Ning pretended not to see it.
I hope they can have the last laugh!
