Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen came to an elegantly decorated restaurant.
Soft light poured down, creating a warm glow on the table.
Soft music fills the air, creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
"The environment here is really nice. After a busy day, I can finally relax." Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue with gentle eyes, a faint smile on his lips.
Ning Nanxue nodded slightly, with a hint of relief on her face.
"Yeah, I've been on edge these past few days because of the cooperation with Huayun Group. Now I can finally take a breath."
The waiter brought the exquisite meal, and Jiang Tingchen carefully cut the steak for Ning Nanxue and placed it on her plate.
"Eat more. You've lost weight." His tone carried a barely perceptible hint of heartache.
Ning Nanxue felt warm in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Tingchen, and said softly: "Thank you, Tingchen, you eat too."
Jiang Tingchen smiled and started eating, but his eyes never left Ning Nanxue.
"By the way, Xue'er, have you seen the news on the Internet? Has it affected your mood?" Jiang Tingchen asked casually, his tone gentle and concerned.
Ning Nanxue paused slightly while holding the knife and fork, then said calmly, "I saw it, but it's nothing. Let those people say whatever they want to say. I don't care."
Her tone was calm, as if she really didn't care, but Jiang Tingchen caught a glimpse of fatigue in her eyes.
"I know you are strong, but don't push yourself too hard. If you have any grievances, be sure to tell me." Jiang Tingchen's voice became softer, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
A warm feeling surged in Ning Nanxue's heart, and she looked at Jiang Tingchen with gratitude.
"Tingchen, thank you. I know you've been helping me all the time. This online incident is also thanks to you."
Her tone was sincere, with a hint of genuine gratitude.
Jiang Tingchen smiled slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"Silly boy, do we even need to say thank you to each other? I'm very happy to be able to help you."
On the other side, Fu Chen hung up the phone with Xu Zhiru, but the feeling of irritation in his heart lingered.
Xu Zhiru's weak crying did not completely dispel his doubts, but made him even more upset.
"Were those news really hyped up by Ning Nanxue herself?" Fu Chen frowned and muttered to himself.
He always felt that something was wrong, and Ning Nanxue didn't seem like the kind of person who would use such methods.
Moreover, those negative news came with great force and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. There seemed to be a mysterious force controlling it.
"No, I have to find out who is behind this." A gloomy look flashed in Fu Chen's eyes. He picked up his cell phone and called Secretary Chen.
"As for the negative news about Ning Nanxue on the Internet, go check the source and see who is spreading the rumors behind the scenes." Fu Chen's tone was cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Secretary Chen received Fu Chen's instructions and smiled inwardly, but responded respectfully, "Okay, President Fu, I'll check it out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Chen raised the corner of his mouth in an imperceptible arc.
He had long expected that Fu Chen would be restless, and now was a good time to guide him to investigate in the wrong direction.
Secretary Chen began to "seriously" investigate, and soon he reported the "investigation results" to Fu Chen.
"Mr. Fu, I have found some clues. The negative news seems to be released by some marketing accounts and anonymous accounts. The IP addresses are also scattered, making it difficult to track down the specific mastermind behind the scenes." Secretary Chen's tone was embarrassed, as if he had really tried his best but gained nothing.
Fu Chen's face became even gloomier as he listened to Secretary Chen's report.
"So, we still can't find out who is behind this?" He said in an unhappy tone with a hint of anger.
Secretary Chen quickly explained, "Mr. Fu, although we haven't been able to identify the specific mastermind behind this, I suspect it's likely a competitor manipulating this and trying to take advantage of the situation to suppress the Ning Group."
"Competitor?" Fu Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
Secretary Chen continued, "Mr. Fu, think about it. The Ning Group has been developing very rapidly recently, especially after its partnership with the Huayun Group. It is at its peak, which will definitely arouse the jealousy and envy of some competitors."
"They spread this negative news in order to take advantage of the opportunity to discredit Ning Nanxue and suppress the reputation of the Ning Group."
Secretary Chen's words hit Fu Chen's heart.
He was originally unhappy with the rise of Ning Nanxue and the Ning Group, and now after hearing Secretary Chen's analysis, he was even more convinced.
"Hmph, they must be those guys who can't stand seeing others doing well and want to trip them up in secret." Fu Chen snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain and anger.
Secretary Chen was secretly delighted when he saw this, knowing that his guidance had been successful.
"Mr. Fu, don't worry, I will continue to investigate and will definitely find out the mastermind behind this." Secretary Chen said in a firm tone, as if he wanted to share Fu Chen's worries and solve his problems.
"Well, find out as soon as possible." Fu Chen waved his hand impatiently, indicating that Secretary Chen could leave.
Secretary Chen respectfully left the office with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"He didn't think of treating President Ning well in the beginning, but now he's trying every possible way to get close to him. This guy is really hopeless." Secretary Chen laughed inwardly and left with brisk steps.
In the hospital, Xu Zhiru paced back and forth in the ward anxiously.
Fu Chen's change in attitude towards her made her feel uneasy and panicked.
She knew that if she couldn't win back Fu Chen's heart as soon as possible, she would be finished.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must do something to get Ah Chen back to me." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xu Zhiru's eyes, and she began to think of a countermeasure.
She picked up the phone again and dialed Fu Chen's number, her voice weak and pitiful.
"Achen, my head still hurts and my chest feels stuffy. Is my depression coming back again?" Xu Zhiru's voice was tinged with tears, as if she was really seriously ill.
When Fu Chen heard Xu Zhiru's weak voice, his tone indeed softened a little.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable again? Do you want to call a doctor to take a look?" Fu Chen's tone was filled with concern, but without the gentleness and patience he had before.
Xu Zhiru's heart sank, knowing that Fu Chen's patience with her was gradually disappearing.
"No, the doctor said I need to rest, but... but I'm alone in the hospital, I'm really scared. A Chen, can you come and stay with me?" Xu Zhiru's voice became softer, with a hint of pleading.
Fu Chen was silent for a moment, then said apologetically, "Zhiru, the company has been busy lately and I can't leave. How about I ask the nanny to take care of you?"
When Xu Zhiru heard Fu Chen's words, she felt completely disappointed.
