In just a few moments, the man subtly concealed the coldness in his eyes and asked in a gentle voice, "Where to?"
The moment the girl saw him, her mind went completely blank, and she stood there blushing, speechless.
The deep, warm voice of the man in her ear was gradually merging with the gentle, affectionate coaxing voice from last night, making her lose track of time.
He said, "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, relax..."
The moment those words reached my ears, a sharp, piercing pain began to spread rapidly throughout my body from somewhere...
Thinking of this, Gong Ning subconsciously brought her legs together...
You big jerk! You're lying!
Seeing her standing there speechless, the man's pale knuckles curled slightly. After a few moments of silence, he sighed with a hint of helplessness and placed the tray in his hand on the counter beside him.
Without waiting for the girl to explain, he pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and rested his fair chin on the top of her head, and said gently, "Jiaojiao, I know you're angry, but there's absolutely no need for you to put yourself in danger..."
Thinking back to last night, Yan Jingzhou felt a chill run down his spine. What if he had arrived even a little later...
The moment the man pulled her into his arms, Gong Ning froze completely. The refreshing, pleasant scent filled her nostrils, and his deep, melodious voice filled her ears. Her heart suddenly pounded like a mad dog...
Gong Ning suddenly pushed him away, not noticing the fleeting disappointment in Yan Jingzhou's eyes.
He hurriedly grabbed his suitcase and rushed to the door, taking a few breaths to calm himself down.
She spoke with extreme calmness, "I'm going back to Liangda for a while. I'll call Luoxi. There won't be any danger. Also, I'll handle the drugging incident from last night myself. You... you're so busy, just focus on your work and don't worry about it... I'm leaving, goodbye!"
After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door and went out.
What the man didn't know was that beneath these distant and polite words lay the girl's shyness at first stirrings of love and a touch of bewilderment.
The simple white shirt and black trousers accentuated the man's tall and slender figure, making him appear even more upright and handsome. Yet, in the brightly lit hall, a sense of loneliness inexplicably crept in...
Yan Jingzhou's fair fingers, hanging by his side, curled slightly, then slowly relaxed after a few moments.
His face once again adopted a calm and aloof demeanor, almost identical to his image in front of outsiders.
For almost the entire day, wherever Yan Jingzhou appeared, the air pressure was frighteningly low, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet...
In the Yanyun Building, everyone was on edge, cowering like turtles, afraid of attracting the president's attention and being exiled to Ningguta.
Of course, the last sentence was their own imagination, but in fact, if you anger the president, you will not have a good outcome!
Moreover, it's obvious to everyone that the CEO is in a bad mood!
If we run into a gun, we're definitely doomed!
Even though it was all over, Ji Chen still gritted his teeth and knocked on Yan Jingzhou's door.
She walked in with a pounding heart, and cautiously spoke to the man standing by the window with his back to her, "President, the project in Europe has officially started. The technical staff from Yanyun Group arrived in Country F a few days ago. Royal family members from several countries will also be attending this meeting. President, your plane ticket has been booked, and you can depart in three days. The multinational executive meeting will begin in half an hour. What do you think?"
Ji Chen finished saying what he needed to say in one breath, keeping his voice down and acting like a quiet quail.
Despite Yan Jingzhou's long silence and lack of response, Ji Chen didn't dare to utter a sound either...
My skin, which was tanned in Africa, has finally recovered a bit in the last few days, so I shouldn't be so eager as to risk getting exiled!
Ji Chen was heartbroken inside, but outwardly acted like a dutiful assistant!
Yan Jingzhou stood in front of the bright, semi-circular floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the miniature bustling traffic outside. His face was frighteningly cold, and the aura surrounding him was so icy it could freeze a penguin to death.
At least that's how Ji Chen sees it!
"Ji Chen!"
"Yes, sir!" Ji Chen instinctively stood at attention, suppressing the chill that slowly crept up his spine. Holding his breath, he spoke as if facing a formidable enemy, "President, what are your orders?"
Yan Jingzhou's voice was calm, but it concealed a hint of expectation that Ji Chen didn't notice, "My girlfriend ran away from home in anger, how can I coax her back?"
"Huh?" Ji Chen was stunned.
So, it turns out the CEO was in a bad mood because "Miss Gong ran away from home?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the bright office suddenly dropped.
Ji Chen broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation with a strong survival instinct. In his desperation, he didn't even know what he was saying, "President, girls are soft-hearted. As long as you lower your pride and coax them a little, they'll be fine. Their anger comes and goes quickly!"
How do I coax him?
"Um?"
Yan Jingzhou frowned, turned around and glanced at him with slight displeasure, "Be more specific!"
Ji Chen noticed that Yan Jingzhou's expression wasn't as icy and cold as when he first entered the company.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief and took the opportunity to put the documents in her hand on the desk. Feigning composure, she said, "President, girls are very perceptive. Many times, what moves them is not some grand, passionate declaration of love, but rather some insignificant little details. For example, they care a lot about whether you give them the respect they deserve. In other words, you need to make them feel that you care about them. In the game of winning over your girlfriend, details determine success or failure!"
Yan Jingzhou sat in his office chair, twirling his pen thoughtfully. After a few moments of contemplation, he said, "The meeting will proceed as scheduled. Go and prepare!"
"Yes!" Ji Chen was overjoyed. It was such a rare opportunity. After a few moments of excitement, he hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the documents on the table, "President, these documents need your signature!"
Yan Jingzhou didn't respond. He simply grabbed the document with his long, slender fingers, which had distinct knuckles, signed it, and then handed it to him.
Ji Chen quickly took it, and after seeing the two characters written in a vigorous and elegant style, he realized that it was a gift from Ji Chen.
—Jiaojiao!
The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times.
"President, who is Jiaojiao?"
Yan Jingzhou's face darkened. "How dare you call someone 'Jiaojiao'?"
Ji Chen, “…No!”
Okay, he understands now. Those two words must be the president's special nickname for Miss Gong!
Sigh, even signing a document can make him show off so much, it's so frustrating.
Before he could even tell Yan Jingzhou that the name was signed incorrectly, his boss suddenly stood up and coldly said, "Pass down the notice: the meeting is moved up and will begin in ten minutes!"
"yes!"
Ji Chen sensed that the president's expression, which had just eased, had turned cloudy again!
...
At this moment, Gong Ning had just returned to the dormitory, where the other three people were already there!
An Xue was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, He Yexin was watching dramas on her computer, and Lan You seemed to be writing something on her notebook.
Upon her arrival, the once warm and inviting dormitory suddenly fell silent.
The tranquility lasted only a few seconds. Lan You put down her pen, her face slightly pale. "Gong Ning, you're back. Are you alright?"
