Li Yan's face flushed red as he looked at Ning Yuan's smiling eyes. He felt incredibly embarrassed and ignored the woman beside him, saying in a low voice, "As long as you're doing well..."
He would feel much better if she were doing well.
"Maybe we'll meet again when I have the chance to go back to my hometown. I'll be going now." Ning Yuan smiled and didn't mention exchanging contact information.
Li Yan didn't ask.
Afterwards, Ning Yuan waved goodbye and got into the Hongqi sedan with Ou Minglang, leaving the train station.
Through the rearview mirror, she could also see Li Yan's somewhat dazed expression.
I don't know what the woman next to him said, but Li Yan impatiently shook off her hand. Judging from his lip movements, he seemed to be scolding the woman for being too snobbish.
The two started arguing. Li Yan ignored the woman, turned around and left, not even noticing that the woman was still carrying her luggage. The woman started wiping away tears.
Ning Yuan recalled that in her past life, she and Li Yan had argued in the same way. Li Yan was never a considerate and gentle man.
In her past life, this woman waited for Li Yan for fifteen years before being disappointed and marrying him in Australia. In this life, she finally married Li Yan as she wished, but she doesn't seem to be happy.
But it doesn't matter anymore...
Ning Yuan leaned against the window. At the end of September, the autumn breeze from Shanghai blew in, cool and pleasant. She no longer cared about her marriage in her previous life.
only……
The fact that Li Yan and his confidante spent their lives together shows that their fates were completely altered.
She couldn't help but think of Young Master Rong.
He and Cha Meiling should be complete strangers from now on...
Ning Yuan's mood suddenly improved: "Ou Minglang, put all the goods into storage these past two days. I need to go to the capital."
Ou Minglang watched Ning Yuan lean against the car window, her big eyes crinkling in a good mood. A hint of complexity flashed in his long, narrow eyes: "What are you going there for? Weren't you unlucky enough there last time?"
He was asking a question he already knew the answer to. Sometimes she really didn't care about Rong Zhaonan at all, and other times she would suddenly become love-struck and completely infatuated with him.
He's so unpredictable, going from hot to cold. I don't know what to say to him...
Ning Yuan rested her chin on her hand and smiled, "Go pick up the dog that's being fostered at the hospital."
Ou Minglang: "...Okay, whatever makes you happy."
...
Ning Yuan acted immediately. She returned to school and quickly put the goods into the warehouse. She also arranged for Hua Zi, Man Hua, and the newly recruited shop assistants to check the accounts, prepare for delivery, and put new samples on the shelves.
Uncle Jiu led a group of young and old men from the steel factory on a business trip to Guangzhou. They broadened their horizons, received part-time wages, and were all in high spirits and full of energy.
Without Ning Yuan having to tell them anything, they volunteered to watch over the warehouse.
Ning Yuan consulted with Grandma Xia. She thought that once this batch of goods was sold, she would have at least several hundred thousand yuan in funds. She planned to set up an electronics wholesale market in Shanghai.
This matter needs to involve Uncle Fang and Uncle Jiu, oh, and Director Qiao too...
We'll have to find a way to get the permit from him, and there's a whole set of procedures involved.
Ning Yuan had been thinking things through in her mind the whole way, and two more days passed by the time she had sorted things out.
She then realized, oh dear, she hadn't called either Mr. Rong or her mother, and they didn't know she had returned to Shanghai.
After thinking for a long time, Ning Yuan decided to call her older brother.
As soon as the call connected, Ning Bingyu's ambiguous Cantonese came through: "So you've made enough money and come back?"
Ning Yuan smiled and replied in Cantonese, "Isn't this all thanks to my brother? I'll treat you to dinner later, and remember to get a 50% discount on the loan!"
Ning Bingyu sneered: "I'm being kind by not breaking your bones."
Ning Yuan dusted off her nails: "There's something I need to tell you. I think I saw Cha Meiling a few days ago when I was in Guangzhou. Could you keep an eye on her whereabouts when you have time? Also, make sure Mom is safe!"
Call it making a mountain out of a molehill, call it being overly sensitive, but whatever the case, she thinks being cautious is the right thing to do.
Ning Bingyu paused, then said calmly, "Okay, Mommy knows you're back, and she'll definitely rush back from Hangzhou right away. Remember to come across the Jinjiang River."
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to the capital in a few days."
Ning Bingyu raised an eyebrow: "You're going to see Anan? I'll book your plane ticket for you?"
Ning Yuan asked suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly being so enthusiastic and generous? This doesn't fit your image at all. Are you breaking character?"
Brother Zha won't get up early if there's no profit to be made!
On the other end of the phone, Ning Bingyu asked coolly, "Do you want to book a plane ticket? Just say so. If not, then go and squeeze onto the train."
Ning Yuan snorted: "Of course!"
Who cares what he's trying to do? I might as well take advantage of him!
Ning Bingyu chuckled lightly: "Alright, you wait here. Once it's settled, I'll have Tony contact you."
Ning Yuan hummed in agreement and was about to hang up.
Ning Bingyu suddenly spoke up again: "Wait a minute, wasn't your roommate Chu Hongyu originally in charge of reporting and coordinating the Fudan University Ning Family Scholarship? Why was she replaced? Can you help me find out?"
Ning Yuan was taken aback: "Huh? Who should we replace them with?"
She remembered that Hongyu was in charge of this matter, and it was arranged by Director Chu. Hongyu had experience in banking and finance, and she was the most suitable person in the department to be in charge of this matter.
Ning Bingyu said coldly, "They replaced her with an old lady surnamed Lu, who especially likes to put on airs!"
Ning Yuan: "Huh...?"
An elderly woman surnamed Lu? Who is she? Which teacher?
Ning Bingyu said impatiently, "Go check on your damn department's student council president. If Chu Hongyu isn't going to be the contact person, then have your department replace her with a normal person!"
Ning Yuan remembered—that student council president who looked twenty years old but had the face of someone in their forties, who loved shouting slogans, and who exuded the air of a remnant of the Cultural Revolution?!
"Hey, what did she do? Wasn't Hongyu your assistant? Why isn't she your contact person anymore? Tell me what's bothering you, and let me vent."
Ning Yuan casually scooped up a slice of watermelon with flower petals and happily ate it like a little hamster, asking with great interest.
