Chapter 184 What went wrong?
Ling Zheng's return to the company was faster than Jiang Yunhui's going to buy coffee across the street. It would be abnormal if people did not suspect that he had been hiding in the company.
"Are you crazy?!" He didn't even explain the whole story and directly questioned Xiang Nuan.
Xiang Nuan stared at him with eyes wide open, not knowing for a moment whether she should be surprised by his sudden appearance or distracted by his nonsensical question.
"A little bit, but I'm afraid I won't be crazy enough to catch up with you."
Ling Zheng was so angry that he pushed her on the forehead: "You are not allowed to resign. I have already agreed to Jin Nuoyi's request..."
"A verbal promise is not valid without a contract. If I quit without a reason, you won't be accused of breaking your promise. If you can help me, I can take the blame for you. It's settled."
Ling Zheng was stunned for a long while, then stammered, "I didn't...how do you know there was no contract signed?"
Seeing Ling Zheng looking a little angry and a little frustrated, Xiang Nuan's defense broke down. With such little talent, he was tricked into revealing something in just two sentences. What kind of tricks did he still have to play?
She hooked her arm around his neck and said jokingly, like an old friend who had known each other for many years, "You have! You are very loyal, but your loyalty is a little stupid."
This sudden action made Ling Zheng at a loss for words. He didn't know how to react, and he heard the word "stupid"? !
Stupid? This move of mine contains the essence of many military tactics such as besieging Wei to save Zhao, sneaking through Chencang, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, okay? !
He argued wildly in his mind, and although he didn't say it out loud, his exaggerated and distorted facial expression had already made his little thoughts vivid.
"You thought you were attacking Wei to save Zhao, but you were actually inviting a wolf into the house. Brother, I want to ask you how you are going to get rid of Jin Nuoyi, this Buddha, in the future?"
"Why are you sending him away?" Ling Zheng answered seriously. Now it was Xiang Nuan's turn to be stunned.
Oh my god, no wonder you dare to take such an unconventional approach, don’t you know that this is a dead end?
"It turns out that it's not a case of besieging Wei to save Zhao, but a case of both sides being destroyed together."
"You...how do you know..."
Ling Zheng was so shocked by her look that he was speechless. She looked at him like a lamb in a tiger's mouth.
He was so angry that he wanted to hit her arm off, but before he could do anything, suddenly a big hand grabbed Xiang Nuan's arm from behind and pulled it off his shoulder.
Xiang Nuan bared his teeth and Ling Zheng's eyes were wide open. They both turned around and saw that gloomy face, and they were instantly like duds.
Three people and six eyes were filled with excitement. Although no one spoke first, the atmosphere was tense and only a spark could cause an explosion.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. I'll get it..."
The crowd watching the show from a distance pushed Du Mengmeng out and used her as a "fire extinguisher." She smiled nervously and awkwardly, and carefully took the coffee from Jiang Yunhui's other hand.
"Ling... Mr. Ling, you're back? It just so happens... uh... my brother-in-law is treating everyone to coffee... you..."
She was so nervous that her teeth were shaking. She picked up a cup and tried to pass it to Ling Zheng. But Jiang Yunhui's sharp eyes immediately discouraged her. She withdrew her hand in dismay.
"Um... I won't disturb you guys..."
Du Mengmeng looked at Xiang Nuan with sympathy and guilt, as if she had abandoned her at the critical moment of life and death.
Is that enough?! Xiang Nuan's arm was twisted behind her head by Jiang Yunhui. She twisted it hard, lowered her head and turned around to break free from his big hand as if untying a knot. She took the coffee cup from Du Mengmeng and pushed it into Ling Zheng's arms.
"Let's go see Ranran. We're going to record the show tomorrow..." Jiang Yunhui suddenly spoke.
"Did you know that Xiang Nuan wanted to resign?"
Ling Zheng interrupted him before he could finish.
"Ci..." Jiang Yunhui was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, she resigned. That's her plan. I don't know what you two are planning to do, why you two resign together. I only know that she is the most talented, spiritual, and thoughtful designer and artist I have ever seen! She should not be just someone's wife or someone's mother!"
Ling Zheng spoke freely in one breath, but Jiang Yunhui was stunned.
"Resign? Is what he said serious? When did it happen?"
Jiang Yunhui looked at Xiang Nuan, as if he could see into her heart.
"Calm down, take a deep breath, OK?" Xiang Nuan felt extremely embarrassed. She held Jiang Yunhui with one hand and put the other hand on Ling Zheng's arm, as if she was afraid that the two of them would accidentally shoot each other.
"We're talking about me quitting, not you." Jiang Yunhui almost pulled Xiang Nuan over.
Hush—Xiang Nuan made a gesture to silence him, and then said to Ling Zheng, "It's settled, President Ling. I'm going to record the show tomorrow and won't delay the exhibition."
Ling Zheng was about to say something, but Xiang Nuan also gave him a silent gesture: "Push Jin Nuoyi away, right now, OK?"
This was not a question, but a warning. Ling Zheng shook his head in disbelief and watched her push Jiang Yunhui out of the exhibition hall.
"Is it because of me?" Jiang Yunhui was terribly depressed. Although Xiang Nuan dragged him into the car, he had no intention of starting.
"It's because of Ling Zheng."
Hmm? He looked at her steadily, and suddenly he was no longer depressed.
"I don't want to implicate innocent people."
Jiang Yunhui looked at her seriously, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
"You...what is your relationship?"
What? Xiang Nuan almost thought she had misheard. What was he talking about? Was this the point?
"Boss and employees..."
He just muttered something when he was slapped hard on the back of his head. He was startled, and before he could react, he was slapped again.
"Ah, ah, ah...you crazy woman, stop it...ah, ah..."
Xiang Nuan ignored his "wailing" and hit him again and again, wishing to wake up this bastard with a head full of dirty thoughts.
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have misunderstood your pure friendship...Ah my God...I've already admitted my mistake, why are you still so cruel?!"
"Please tell me again, what's wrong?!"
“Wrong… all wrong… ahhhh…”
Xiang Nuan got angrier and angrier as she beat him. Jiang Yunhui, you bastard, you really want to piss me off, right? Not only did she chop off his head, she also pinched his arms and pulled his ears, leaving him flustered and unable to defend himself.
Jiang Yunhui suddenly waved his hands and tightly grasped Xiang Nuan's hands. He looked like he had rolled through a chicken coop, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, but he still looked at Xiang Nuan firmly.
"I know I was wrong. You sacrificed yourself for me. How could I not know your feelings? I will never forget that you said you were looking for a job to give yourself a place to stay. Now, for me, you have even given up your last resort. How can I not understand?"
Xiang Nuan stopped struggling and took a deep breath.
"But, Nuan'er, I don't want you to sacrifice for me. I want you to always do what you want and live the life you want."
Jiang Yunhui's gaze was so warm that it warmed Xiang Nuan's heart. She couldn't help but sniffle. While he was feeling moved, she pulled out her hand and hit him hard on the head.
Jiang Yunhui gasped in pain. But his heart was even colder than the cold air. This woman was definitely a romantic insulator.
