Sheng Xuan felt a sudden tightness in her chest. The inexplicable excitement she felt when she entered the room was gone, replaced by a feeling of suffocation.
"Nothing! Nothing! I dreamt about doing *that* with you! Is that wrong?!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly froze.
The next moment, both of their faces turned red.
The courtyard was quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward!
A-Lu, who was always eager to stir up trouble, flapped her wings and repeated the same thing.
"I dreamt about doing *that* with you! *That*! No? No?"
Sheng Xuan: "..."
Ning Lang: "..."
So he fled in panic, staggering and scrambling away in a disheveled state.
From that day on, they continued according to the "original plan," and neither of them paid any attention to the other.
When she came to the small hotel to chase him away that day, she was wearing sunglasses, her face was indifferent, and she didn't say a word the whole time.
He was embarrassed and awkward, and tried to explain to ease the terrible atmosphere.
"It's normal for men to fantasize about women occasionally."
“Shut up!” she snapped.
So, blushing, he dared not speak again and obediently stayed in the small attic until today.
...
Several days later, the two met again, and the atmosphere was still involuntarily a little awkward.
At least, that's what he thinks.
Unexpectedly, Ning Lang's composure and calmness always exceeded his expectations.
She paused for a moment, then gracefully strode over, her tone calm and composed.
"The advertising company is almost finished with renovations. Go to work there tomorrow and start recruiting staff."
He raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Pretty fast."
She rented a three-story office building not far away, in a prime location right in the city center—a place that everyone envies!
Ning Lang explained, "One renovation company per floor is bidding, working day and night, and cooperating with each other, so it will naturally be faster. We've already hired a housekeeping company to clean today, and we'll be opening the windows for ventilation and arranging staff to get things started as soon as possible."
Sheng Xuan nodded, retrieved some information from her phone, and quickly sent it to her.
"This is my preliminary list of job positions for each department, which is very streamlined. Several planners, creative directors, and assistants who previously worked at my company will be coming to work for me. They have already prepared their resignation letters and are ready to come with me at any time."
Ning Lang clicked on it and glanced at it.
"You decide what to do."
She paused, then whispered a reminder: "Liao Congming has had a really tough time. His family locked him up for over a month. Just a couple of days ago, they even sent him abroad to force him to continue his studies."
Sheng Xuan grinned and said, "I secretly wired him some money, and he should have received it yesterday. Maybe he'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Ning Lang raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want him to help you?"
“You have to say publicly that you hired him, otherwise the Liao family will cause trouble again.” Sheng Xuan explained, “I’m just your assistant, you should hire him as the deputy manager.”
"I already said, it's your decision." Ning Lang leaned back lazily on the sofa and said in a low voice, "I said before that I'm only responsible for collecting the money."
In late autumn, the temperature in Rongcheng was only fifteen or sixteen degrees Celsius. She wore a loose dark gray-green sweater and tight jeans that accentuated her long and slender legs. Her outfit was casual yet elegant.
She has always had excellent taste, and her clothing choices are always just right.
He couldn't help but glance at her slender, beautiful legs a few more times, and said, "Don't worry, all the money I make is yours first. By the way, you have to run an errand for me in the middle of next month."
Ning Lang's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "Mid-next month? What are you planning to do? Buy land?"
