"What’s wrong with you?"
Xu Nanzhi didn't say anything, and he felt a little weird.
Fortunately, it was dark, because even with the street lights on, it was not very clear.
He raised his hand and pushed Jiang Huaibei: "Nothing, I was just thinking about something."
Jiang Huaibei naturally didn't believe this. He stared at Xu Nanzhi, which made her face even redder.
Suddenly, Jiang Huaibei said, "Why are you blushing?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a loud bang like thunder.
"Ah, blushing? Maybe it's the heat."
Xu Nanzhi felt a little guilty when she said this, but the dim light inside the car gave her great convenience.
With a light laugh, Jiang Huaibei said, "Hot? Xu Nanzhi, don't you even think before you lie?"
Xu Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he pretended not to understand: "Huh?"
Seeing that she was still pretending, Jiang Huaibei directly exposed her: "Why are you trying to keep warm with the window open?"
"Tell me, have you done anything wrong? I'm just asking you one question, why do you feel so guilty?"
"Who feels guilty?" Xu Nanzhi raised his voice, as if this would make him more confident.
Jiang Huaibei looked at her with a half-smile: "Don't you feel guilty?"
Just when Xu Nanzhi thought he was going to ask more questions, Jiang Huaibei said, "Well, if you don't feel guilty, then don't feel guilty."
Xu Nanzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as he was about to let go, Jiang Huaibei continued, "Lying is not good."
Realizing that Jiang Huaibei had fooled him, Xu Nanzhi glared at him angrily: "Jiang Huaibei."
However, the next second, there was a knock on the car door: "Why don't you get in now that you're back?"
Wen Ting was standing in front of Xu Nanzhi's car door at the moment. Because the window was open, he could see the situation inside the car clearly.
Turning around and looking at him, Xu Nanzhi's embarrassment was swept away. She asked with some confusion, "Why did you come out?"
After glancing at Xu Nanzhi and Jiang Huaibei, Wen Ting finally spoke: "I saw you upstairs, and since you weren't coming in, I came out to check."
"You are so free." Xu Nanzhi replied casually, not noticing the change in Wen Ting's expression.
But Jiang Huaibei saw it.
He glanced at Wen Ting, looking somewhat thoughtful.
"Aren't you coming down yet?" Wen Ting asked.
"Down, right now."
As he spoke, Xu Nanzhi unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
It was Wen Ting who opened the car door, protecting Xu Nanzhi's head, looking like a good brother.
Jiang Huaibei glanced at Wen Ting with a playful look at this moment, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Nanzhi, let's contact each other later about what we talked about today."
Although these words were spoken to Xu Nanzhi, Jiang Huaibei was actually referring to Wen Ting.
After he finished speaking, Wen Ting also looked up at him. Their eyes met, and for a moment, their words were worth more than a thousand words.
Something seemed to be ignited in this night, yet it seemed as if nothing had happened.
"good."
Xu Nanzhi answered Jiang Huaibei's words and got out of the car. Seeing Wen Ting still standing there, he turned around and saw the two of them looking at each other.
He said with some confusion: "What are you doing? Aren't we going back?"
Wen Ting withdrew his gaze and naturally took the bag from Xu Nanzhi's hand: "Let's go."
Then he nodded to Jiang Huaibei.
Jiang Huaibei tilted his head in response.
After watching the two figures gradually disappear, Jiang Huaibei drove away.
In the living room of the Wen family, the two changed their shoes. Wen Ting looked at Xu Nanzhi with an unreadable look in his eyes.
But the moment Xu Nanzhi looked up at him, he retracted all his emotions.
"What's wrong?" I always feel that Wen Ting seems a little weird today.
He seemed a little absent-minded, so I asked with concern.
Looking at Xu Nanzhi, Wen Ting asked, "What did you just say to Huaibei?"
Before Xu Nanzhi could reply, Wen Ting continued, "Why did you come back with Huaibei today? You two have been in contact quite frequently lately, haven't you?"
The question sounded a bit strange. After Xu Nanzhi entered the living room, he turned back to look at Wen Ting and ate a few strawberries on the coffee table. "Oh, nothing. The company needs some raw materials for a project. Doesn't Jiang's have a plantation? That's it."
"So I invited him to dinner in the evening and talked about it."
At this point, Xu Nanzhi hummed: "By the way, I still need your help with something."
"Arbutin, can the Wen family extract it?"
This made Wen Ting frown: "It should be possible."
Then he asked, "Raw materials used in cosmetics?"
"That's right. Xu's recent raw materials are being passed off as genuine. There's no way they can live up to the hype."
After hearing what Xu Nanzhi said, Wen Ting asked, "So you came to Huaibei today because of this matter."
Xu Nanzhi nodded, then complained, "Yes, I'm telling you, Jiang Huaibei is really a ruthless guy. Not only did he not lower the price for me, he even raised it by 20%."
"But I can understand that. That batch of raw materials is in short supply. Even with a higher price, they are still in great demand. He is being business-minded."
"Besides, many of Xu's projects are used to enrich themselves, so the money saved will be swallowed up. It's better to leave it this way."
Then he looked at Wen Ting and said, "By the way, you don't have to give me a discount on arbutin. It's the same price as it should be. It's just a little bit. I need it urgently. Please hurry up and make it for me."
When talking to Wen Ting, Xu Nanzhi was not so polite. Seeing her expression that it was as it should be, Wen Ting's eyes were gentle.
"good."
"Okay, I'll have Xu Fan contact your assistant then."
After the summit in Haicheng, Xu Fan and Wen Ting's assistant became quite familiar with each other, so it was convenient for the two to contact each other.
"good."
Wen Ting's mood at this moment was completely different from before. His expression relaxed, and even his brows, which had been slightly furrowed before, relaxed.
Xu Nanzhi didn't pay attention to these things. At this moment, she was sending a message to Xu Fan, telling him that the raw material issue had been resolved and asked him to follow up when he went to the company tomorrow morning.
Regarding these, Xu Nanzhi simply followed the policy of acting first and reporting later. If he waited for the Xu family to hold a meeting to discuss and decide, it would probably take several more days.
The next day, Xu Nanzhi went directly to the Finance Department to approve the funds. After the transaction was completed, Xu Nanzhi informed them of the matter.
As expected, many people at the meeting expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Nanzhi's approach.
"Vice President Nan, what do you mean by this? You placed the order and paid the money without discussing it with anyone, and then notified everyone after it was completed." Director Liu, who had always been at odds with Xu Nanzhi, took the lead in attacking Xu Nanzhi.
Looking at his indignant expression, Xu Nanzhi spoke.
