Chapter 416: Be Frank
Xiang Nuan not only ordered coffee, but also a dessert, which surprised Zhai Jinpeng.
"I suddenly feel a little hungry after sitting here. Don't mind me." Xiang Nuan said with a smile.
"My pleasure."
"Would you like to have one? Their Napoleon is delicious and not greasy at all."
“Is this within the time limit?”
"exist."
"Then I'd better free up my mouth to talk to you."
Zhai Jinpeng smiled faintly. He was actually very anxious, but now he was a little calmer. Xiang Nuan was not like those celebrities who were elegant when eating. She took a bite and the Napoleon was half gone. Her bulging cheeks and slightly raised eyebrows showed her enjoyment of the food. He was so lost in thought for a moment.
"You continue." With the second bite, the cake had accomplished its mission.
Zhai Jinpeng smiled and resisted the urge to wipe the crispy crust from the corners of her mouth.
"Yuanzhen has something that can prove that you and Jiang Yunhui are not married. She wants to be on the show and wants Jiang Yunhui to help her open up the domestic market. I want the stock assets in my hands to regain their value."
Zhai Jinpeng got straight to the point as soon as he opened his speech.
"Where's Chen Weiming?"
"He wants a way out."
Xiang Nuan put down her coffee cup and leaned back in her chair. She seemed to want to distance herself from him so that she could take a closer look at him to see if he was crazy.
"Yuanzhen... I can understand. Did you two find the wrong person? How could Jiang Yunhui be so capable?"
"He organized this game. Without him, I wouldn't be guarding a pile of waste paper now."
Xiang Nuan pursed her lips and shook her head: "You've been thinking for so long, and this is all you can think of?"
"Isn't that right?"
"I thought you were smarter than this."
Zhai Jinpeng was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he had been led astray. This woman was trying to trick him, that must be it.
"I'm really honored to be thought highly of by Mrs. Jiang, but my demands are very clear. As long as you can do it, we can live in peace."
Xiang Nuan's phone suddenly rang. She apologized to Zhai Jinpeng and stood up to answer the phone. The matter over there seemed to be urgent. While she was talking, she asked the waiter for a pen and paper and leaned over the railing to start drawing.
Zhai Jinpeng's eyes followed her, but his thoughts were on what she had just said.
Is she hinting? Or setting a trap? Dealing with such a woman is not only time-consuming but also requires a lot of thinking. If you are not careful, you will fall into her trap.
But her reaction was too calm, as if she had anticipated all this.
"I'm so sorry," she sat back down. "Where were we talking about?"
"I've finished." Zhai Jinpeng said with a smile.
"Really? That's great. I really have to go back quickly." He was really ready to leave with three parts of gratitude and three parts of apology.
"No way, Mrs. Jiang? Is that it?" Zhai Jinpeng looked at Xiang Nuan as if she were an alien.
"Anything else?" Xiang Nuan's eyes were filled with even greater doubts.
"I really don't understand you," Zhai Jinpeng crossed his arms, not knowing whether he was angry or amused, and laughed unconsciously: "Are you really confident and think that Yuan Zhen's problem is nothing to be afraid of? Or do you really think that fame and fortune are like clouds and smoke, and even Jiang Yunhui's career prospects can be easily discarded?"
"Uh..." Xiang Nuan's eyes were filled with a clear and stupid light, and she seemed not to understand what Zhai Jinpeng meant.
Her phone rang again, and you could tell how urgent the ringtone was just by listening to it.
"Sorry, sorry." She grabbed the phone and walked to the corner again.
"Silk threads are different... Version A has beads, but Version B doesn't..."
Her voice came out intermittently, and Zhai Jinpeng sneered, feeling ridiculous himself.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and waited for Xiang Nuan to come over before saying calmly, "I am very sincere in talking to you, with 120% sincerity, but it seems that Mrs. Jiang doesn't care much."
"You didn't," Xiang Nuan said with curved eyes, putting her phone into her bag and responding, "If it's true as you said, you would come straight to the point and tell me your plan to take Yuan Zhen and Chen Weiming to surrender, and I would tell you that if you really want to win back Jin Nuoyi, money is not the right way."
It was not enough to say that a thunderclap exploded above Zhai Jinpeng's head, it was simply a bolt of lightning that split his crown. Zhai Jinpeng was completely stunned, he would never have thought that Xiang Nuan would say these words.
"Just the right time, thank you for the coffee and dessert."
Xiang Nuan patted his shoulder and ran out the door in a hurry.
Zhai Jinpeng stood there in a daze, his mind was blank. When he finally realized what was happening, Xiang Nuan was gone. He slumped into the chair as if his soul had been drained out.
She, seriously, knows everything!
A feeling of being fooled and angry rushed into his mind. He almost wanted to immediately ask Yuan Zhen to make everything he knew public. No matter whether it was white or black, facing the carnival of public opinion, no one would care about right or wrong, true or false. I wonder if you can still be so calm and composed, and make plans? !
His fingers almost pinched into the phone, but his remaining rationality still held the last line of defense. He returned to the car and decided to wait until Xiang Nuan got off work. This time he would have a good talk with her.
…
"What are you talking about? I asked you to bring me some ice cream!" Jiang Ranran looked at her with a pout, his bulging cheeks showing that he was very angry.
"Ice cream? Why did I hear you talking about the thread? Could it be that the line was crossed?"
"snort!"
"Did anyone hear Ranran say she wanted ice cream?" Xiang Nuan looked around innocently, asking people around for confirmation.
Everyone shook their heads, and Jiang Ranran was so angry that her belly was about to bulge.
"You should have told me if you wanted to eat ice cream. It's guaranteed to keep you full!" Elena hugged his little head and kissed him.
"I went to the freezer and looked. I wanted hazelnut flavor, but it wasn't in the freezer!"
"You are such a smart guy. You have scouted all the positions. But, don't you know that I have a secret base?" Elena bent down to tease him. Secret base? He had already explored every corner of this studio. Is there any place he hasn't discovered? He looked at Elena doubtfully, waiting for her to reveal the magic.
Xiang Nuan couldn't help laughing when she saw Ran Ran being distracted so easily. Even a clever kid would lose his IQ in the face of the temptation of delicious food.
"Peter~~~" Elena shouted with all her might, making Xiang Nuan burst into laughter. What? ! So she was summoning an assistant.
"I hid the hazelnut ice cream in your place, give it to me now."
“You…” Peter’s face changed, as if a squirrel hiding pine cones had its nest discovered. “How did you know…”
Elena stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers. She also raised her chin towards Jiang Ranran, asking him to do the same. Jiang Ranran giggled and looked at Peter expectantly.
Pete's head drooped like a deflated ball. He walked to the freezer dejectedly and took out a small ice cream box as if he was digging for treasure from a bunch of snacks.
"Hmph!" He rolled his eyes and handed it to Jiang Ranran reluctantly.
"Ah!" Jiang Ranran's eyes almost lit up, "It tastes like hazelnut! It really tastes like hazelnut!"
Xiang Nuan also opened her mouth wide, watching all this in disbelief.
"There really is magic!" She squatted down exaggeratedly and looked carefully at the ice cream in Ranran's hand.
"It's a little small," Jiang Ranran looked left and right, then smiled brightly again: "You can each have a small bite of magic ice cream!"
"Thank you, dear." Elena hugged him and kissed him hard on the face.
"Thank you, dear." Xiang Nuan mouthed to her. She turned to Pete again, and just as she was about to speak, Pete rolled his eyes and walked away twisting his waist.
"Buy me two big ones tomorrow!"
His swinging posture was so charming that everyone almost spurted out their magic ice cream...
