Chapter 59 She and Pei Jingchuan clashed
Xie Nanzhi, head held high, blushed at the sudden ambiguous atmosphere and hurriedly retreated, hiding the hint of panic that had been stirred in her eyes.
"dislike."
Wei Chizheng's smile deepened, but he didn't tease her any further. "Miss Nan, please take me home."
Xie Nanzhi did not refuse. She got into the car first, and then Wei Chizheng sat in the passenger seat. She watched him fasten his seatbelt before starting the car.
Perhaps it was because he had been drinking, but Wei Chizheng adjusted the height of his chair back and closed his eyes to rest comfortably.
They didn't exchange a single word the whole way. It wasn't until they arrived at Wei Chizheng's apartment that he slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced around at the familiar surroundings, then finally fixed his gaze on Xie Nanzhi. "Miss Nan, I'm waiting for your good news."
Xie Nanzhi gripped the steering wheel with one hand, her rosy lips curving into a smile. "Wei Chizheng, thank you."
After that, Wei Chizheng didn't say anything, opened the door and got out of the car.
When Xie Nanzhi got home, it was already past nine o'clock.
The lights in the foyer were on, so it wasn't pitch black as soon as she entered. She changed into slippers and walked in, and from a distance she could see two plates on the dining table, with plates of the same size covering them.
Xie Nanzhi walked over slowly. She thought for a few seconds before taking down the plate on top. It contained a braised pork rib and a stir-fried lettuce, both still steaming hot and looking very appetizing.
In fact, during the few days I lived with Wang Shufen, every night when I came home, no matter how late it was, there was always a light on for her, and there was always delicious food on the dining table.
Even if Xie Nanzhi never touched them, there would still be different dishes the next day.
She glanced absentmindedly at the closed door, a strange feeling welling up inside her. After a while, as if possessed, she sat down and picked up a piece of pork rib with her chopsticks.
It has a very home-style flavor, certainly not as amazing as what you'd find in a five-star restaurant, but it's the kind of flavor Xie Nanzhi likes.
She sat quietly under the warm, pale yellow light, and before she knew it, she had eaten half of it. Finally, a faint smile appeared on Xie Nanzhi's lips.
On the other side.
In the dead of night, Pei Jingchuan received a call from Jiang Cheng. He casually turned on the desk lamp, pinching the bridge of his nose with one hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng said anxiously, "President Pei, something bad has happened. Those experts have returned all the money we gave them."
Pei Jingchuan immediately sat up straight, instantly sobering up. "How could this happen?"
Jiang Cheng: "I also inquired from the sidelines, but I didn't get any information."
With the bidding process scheduled for tomorrow, it's too late to take any remedial measures. Pei Jingchuan felt inexplicably anxious, and a ruthless glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"It seems someone doesn't want me to get this dock. In that case, I can only wait until I get the result and then figure out a solution."
Pei Jingchuan originally planned to bribe the review experts to successfully win the bid for the dock, but now it seems that he should focus his attention on the company that ultimately wins the bid.
Jiang Cheng: "Okay, I know what to do."
The next morning, Xie Nanzhi dressed in a black business suit and changed her hairstyle to a neat updo. As she walked through the living room after leaving the dressing room, she suddenly remembered something.
Xie Nanzhi took a card out of her bag, wrote the PIN on the back, and placed it on the coffee table. She glanced at Wang Shufen's bedroom door one last time before leaving.
Hearing the door close, Wang Shufen came out of the bedroom. Her first stop was to check the food on the dining table, but it was gone.
Wang Shufen went to the kitchen again, opened the refrigerator and saw the half-eaten ribs, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed on the top layer.
At that moment, Wang Shufen's tears fell uncontrollably. She cried and laughed at the same time, like a child.
——
Xie Nanzhi and her colleagues had arranged to meet at the bidding site. When she arrived, all her colleagues were already there.
The manager walked up to her. "President Nan, only the representative from Zhengrong Group is absent."
Since Pei Jingchuan is preparing to bid, he will definitely not be absent. Moreover, given his personality, once he makes a move, he will never leave empty-handed.
As far as Xie Nanzhi knew, in the past three years, Zheng Rong Group had never lost a bid in any of them.
Xie Nanzhi sat down and said confidently, "He will definitely come."
The manager sat down next to her, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "President Nan, I get the feeling you know Zhengrong Group very well. To be precise, you know their President Pei very well. Did you two know each other before?"
Whether it was Xie Nanzhi's proposed modifications or her analysis of the other party's underlying principles, Xie Nanzhi could analyze them all with great clarity and insight.
Xie Nanzhi put away her sunglasses and glanced at the manager. "I know him, but we're not close."
manager,"……"
Um, okay.
Their company was second in the lottery, and when Xie Nanzhi went in to announce the bids, the representatives from Zhengrong Group had not yet arrived.
However, Xie Nanzhi had glanced at the bidding order beforehand, and Zheng Rong Group was listed last, so there was definitely enough time.
Wearing black leather shoes, Xie Nanzhi pushed open the door.
She walked gracefully forward to meet the five expert judges, three of whom she had met at "Water and Sky in One Color" the previous night.
It seems Xie Nanzhi's guess was correct. Wei Chizheng deliberately lured her there last night and flirted with her intentionally, just to make the judges wary.
We wouldn't go so far as to give her special treatment, but at least we can guarantee that there's no shady dealing involved in this bidding process.
Xie Nanzhi suddenly remembered how Wei Chizheng called her "Zhizhi" last night, and the words he said before leaving the private room.
No one dares to speak ill of him.
His people?
With a faint blush on her pretty cheeks, Xie Nanzhi took a few seconds to adjust herself before walking gracefully to the front.
...
Xie Nanzhi performed exceptionally well, taking a full thirty minutes to finish.
As soon as she stepped out, the company staff surrounded her, asking, "President Nan, how did it go?"
Xie Nanzhi smiled and said, "Not bad. We'll announce the results later. Whether we win or not, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."
Cheers rang in my ears: "Long live General Nan!"
Just then, another voice came from not far away, "Nanzhi".
Xie Nanzhi looked over and saw Pei Jingchuan standing straight a few meters away, with Jiang Cheng following behind him.
Jiang Cheng was quite surprised to see her, but Pei Jingchuan was much calmer in comparison.
Pei Jingchuan walked forward step by step, and the others instinctively made way for him.
Some people began to whisper dissent, "Isn't he President Pei of Zhengrong Group? He's really handsome with that model-like face."
"It's him. I saw him on an economic talk show. It's definitely him. But why did he come in person?"
“The Zheng Rong Group is no longer what it used to be, so it’s not surprising that President Pei is personally involved.”
"It seems that President Pei still cares a lot about this bidding process."
...
Pei Jingchuan stood in front of Xie Nanzhi, his eyes serious. "So you're the mastermind behind the expedition?"
Xie Nanzhi replied in a formulaic tone, "President Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi was about to continue walking forward when Pei Jingchuan grabbed her wrist and walked straight out of the waiting room.
