Jiang Yanchen carefully helped Ning Nanxue back to the ward, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a fragile treasure.
He tucked in the quilt for her and carefully adjusted the bedside light. The dim light shone on Ning Nanxue's pale face, making her look even more fragile.
"You're just too stubborn." Jiang Yanchen gently scolded, but his tone was full of heartache. "That scumbag Fu Chen, why are you angry with him? It's not worth it."
Ning Nanxue forced a smile, but her eyes were dim and lifeless: "Senior, I'm fine. Don't worry."
She said she was fine, but her clenched fists and slightly trembling body betrayed her.
Jiang Yanchen saw it and felt pain in his heart.
He knew what kind of storms were hidden beneath Ning Nanxue's seemingly calm appearance.
The truths about Sui Sui were like sharp knives, stabbing her heart and making her feel miserable.
"Xue'er, I know you feel bad." Jiang Yanchen held her hand and stroked it gently, "But remember, you are not alone, you still have me. I will always be with you, support you, and help you get justice."
His voice was low and gentle, as if carrying some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Ning Nanxue's restless heart.
She raised her head and looked into his deep eyes, which were full of concern and tenderness.
"Senior..." Ning Nanxue's voice was a little choked, "Thank you."
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Yanchen scratched her nose lovingly, "Do we even need to say this between us?"
He paused, his eyes burning. "Xue'er, actually, I... I've always liked you. Ever since college. I know you only have Sui Sui and hatred in your heart right now, but I'm willing to wait. Wait for you to let go of everything and start over."
These words exploded in Ning Nanxue's heart like thunder.
She stared at Jiang Yanchen in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
It’s not that she can’t feel his feelings for her, but she is really not qualified to accept it now.
"Senior, please don't be like this..." Ning Nanxue lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, "I really can't do this right now."
"I know, I know everything." Jiang Yanchen smiled bitterly, "I'm not forcing you, really. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Even if... just as a friend."
Ning Nanxue's heart felt like it was hit hard by something, and it felt sour and bitter.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Senior, thank you. Really, thank you."
In the next few days, Jiang Yanchen stayed by Ning Nanxue's side almost every step of the way.
Not only did he have to deal with company affairs, but he also had to take care of her daily life, and he lost a lot of weight.
But even so, he had no complaints and was happy to do it.
Secretary Chen also received good news.
He handed over all the core information of the Fu Group over the past five years to Ning Nanxue.
"Mr. Ning, this is what you want." Secretary Chen handed a USB drive to Ning Nanxue. "Inside it are all the core secrets of the Fu Group. Including their financial statements, project plans, customer information, and so on."
Ning Nanxue took the USB drive and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Have you really thought it through? Doing this will completely betray Fu Chen."
"I've thought it through." Secretary Chen smiled bitterly. "I've been with him for so many years, and I've had enough. He only has eyes for Xu Zhiru and doesn't treat us employees as human beings at all. A boss like that isn't worth working for."
"Mr. Ning, don't worry. I've already arranged everything. After this is done, I'll take the money you gave me and run away, never to return."
Ning Nanxue nodded: "Okay. I wish you all the best."
After getting the information, Ning Nanxue contacted Jiang Yanchen immediately.
She handed him the USB drive and proposed her own improvement plan.
"Senior, this is the information about the Fu Group. I've studied it carefully. Although their plan looks perfect, it actually has many problems. Especially with cost control and subsequent maintenance, it's simply a bottomless pit."
Jiang Yanchen took the USB drive and listened carefully to Ning Nanxue's analysis.
The more he listened, the more surprised he was and the more impressed he became.
He didn't expect that Ning Nanxue could study the Fu Group's plan so thoroughly in such a short time and put forward such constructive suggestions for improvement.
"Xue'er, you're amazing!" Jiang Yanchen praised sincerely, "I didn't even notice these problems before. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have suffered a great loss."
"Senior, you're too kind." Ning Nanxue smiled modestly, "I just did what I should do. Now, we have a great chance of winning this event."
"That's right!" Jiang Yanchen said confidently, "With this information and your improved plan, we can definitely defeat Fu Chen and win this project!"
In the following days, Jiang Yanchen led the team to work day and night.
Based on Ning Nanxue's suggestions, they comprehensively optimized and adjusted the plan, striving to achieve perfection.
Fu Chen, on the other hand, also noticed the close relationship between Ning Nanxue and Jiang Yanchen. He was furious and jealous.
He stepped up his investigation into Manager Song, trying to find a breakthrough and take revenge on Ning Nanxue.
"Investigate! Get Manager Song's background thoroughly investigated!" Fu Chen slammed the table and yelled at Secretary Chen, "I want to know everything about him! Including his relationship with Ning Nanxue!"
"Yes, Mr. Fu." Secretary Chen lowered his head and responded.
He knew very well that Fu Chen was completely enraged.
Xu Zhiru was burning with jealousy when she saw how crazy Fu Chen was for Ning Nanxue.
She knew that she had to do something to win back Fu Chen's heart.
"Ah Chen, don't be angry." Xu Zhiru advised softly, "It's not worth getting angry over that kind of woman."
"You don't understand!" Fu Chen said irritably, "That bitch actually dared to flirt with other men behind my back! I will never let her go!"
Xu Zhiru's eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind: "Ah Chen, don't worry, I will definitely help you vent your anger."
She turned and left, and found Xu Zhao who was recuperating in the hospital.
"Sister, why are you here?" Xu Zhao was a little surprised when he saw Xu Zhiru.
"Azhao, how is your injury?" Xu Zhiru asked with concern.
"Much better, but it still hurts." Xu Zhao said with a bitter face, "Sister, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really have died at the hands of that bastard Manager Song."
"Silly boy, why are you being so polite to me?" Xu Zhiru smiled. "We are siblings."
