Ning Nanxue rolled her eyes and said only one sentence.
"Let me think about it." As soon as the words fell, Ning Nanxue hung up Fu Chen's phone, with a hint of cold sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
"Start over? Fu Chen, you really have wild ideas."
She whispered, her tone full of disdain and disgust for Fu Chen's proposal.
This man is always so self-righteous, thinking that a simple "start over" can erase all the past hurts.
It's ridiculous.
Jiang Tingchen had been observing the changes in Ning Nanxue's expression. When he saw her face darken after she hung up the phone, he asked gently.
"Xue'er, what did Fu Chen say? His face looks so ugly."
Ning Nanxue turned her head and looked at Jiang Tingchen. The coldness in her eyes slowly faded away, replaced by a hint of helplessness and annoyance.
She didn't want Fu Chen to affect her mood, but Fu Chen's call still made her feel nauseous.
"Nothing, Fu Chen called and said he wanted to acquire the Ning Group."
Ning Nanxue spoke calmly, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
But Jiang Tingchen heard a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Acquisition?" Jiang Tingchen raised his eyebrows, a sneer flashing in his eyes. "He's wishful thinking."
There was a hint of disdain in Jiang Tingchen's tone. In his opinion, Fu Chen's little trick was simply showing off his skills in front of an expert and overestimating his own abilities.
"He proposed the acquisition. On the one hand, it was a test, and on the other hand, he really thought he had something on us and wanted to seize the opportunity to swallow up the Ning Group."
Jiang Tingchen analyzed, his tone carrying a hint of insightful wisdom.
Ning Nanxue nodded in agreement, a sly glint in her eyes.
"I think so too. Fu Chen is a conceited and greedy person. Once he feels that he has an opportunity, he will pounce without hesitation."
"Since he wants to 'acquire' it so much, let's give him a chance and let him 'acquire' it properly."
Ning Nanxue's lips curled up into a meaningful smile, her eyes full of calculation.
Jiang Tingchen looked at the light in Ning Nanxue's eyes and knew that she had already made up her mind, so he smiled gently.
"Xue'er, whatever you want to do, I support you."
"However, you have to take care of your health even when you're seeking revenge. You must be tired after a busy day. Let's go eat first, and then we can slowly make plans after dinner."
Jiang Tingchen suggested in a gentle tone. He didn't want Ning Nanxue to be affected by Fu Chen's affairs and affect her mood and health.
Ning Nanxue felt warm in her heart, knowing that Jiang Tingchen was concerned about her. She nodded and her tone softened.
"Well, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go eat first."
The two stood up and walked out of the office side by side.
Inside the car, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed.
Ning Nanxue took the initiative to take Jiang Tingchen's hand, placed it in her palm, and spoke sincerely.
"Tingchen, thank you so much today. If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how to deal with Fu Chen."
Jiang Tingchen held Ning Nanxue's hand and smiled gently.
"Silly boy, do you even need to thank me? Fu Chen is just a paper tiger, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Ning Nanxue thought of Fu Chen's smug look in the Genting Club and couldn't help shaking her head, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in her tone.
"Come to think of it, Fu Chen really ruined the atmosphere today. I was originally planning to have a good dinner with you, but he ruined it all."
Jiang Tingchen chuckled when he heard this, and a hint of pampering flashed in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if dinner is ruined, we can have a midnight snack."
"What do you want to eat? Japanese food? Or Chinese food? Or, do you want to cook for me and I can help you?"
Jiang Tingchen asked gently, his tone full of pampering and indulgence towards Ning Nanxue.
Ning Nanxue was amused by Jiang Tingchen and felt a lot more relaxed.
"It's all fine. As long as it's made by you, I like it."
The two of them were discussing midnight snacks in low voices, and the car was filled with a sweet and warm atmosphere.
Different from the warmth and sweetness here, Fu Chen's anger has not dissipated at all.
He slammed the document in his hand onto the table with a loud bang.
Xu Zhiru walked forward cautiously and asked with concern.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Xu Zhiru's voice was soft and weak, with a barely perceptible hint of flattery.
Fu Chen glanced at Xu Zhiru and interrupted her impatiently.
"Don't ask, I'm already bothered!"
Xu Zhiru was frightened by Fu Chen's attitude. She bit her lip in grievance and dared not speak anymore.
Xu Zhiru suppressed the jealousy and uneasiness in her heart, forced a gentle smile on her face, and comforted Fu Chen softly.
"Ah Chen, who made you angry? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice."
When Fu Chen heard Xu Zhiru's gentle voice, his irritable mood calmed down a little. He sighed and briefly told Xu Zhiru about his meeting with Ning Nanxue today.
After listening to Fu Chen's narration, Xu Zhiru's eyes flashed with surprise, which was then quickly replaced by jealousy and disdain.
"Ning Nanxue is actually still considering the acquisition proposal? Is she crazy? The Ning Group is almost bankrupt, what is she still so arrogant about?"
Xu Zhiru said this in an exaggerated tone, as if it was incredible that Ning Nanxue rejected Fu Chen's acquisition.
Fu Chen sneered and said with a disdainful tone.
"She's just bluffing. I've already thoroughly investigated the Ning Group's situation. Their capital chain is strained, operations are struggling, and they can't sustain it for much longer."
"She's rejecting me now just to raise her own value. When she can't hold on any longer, she'll naturally beg me."
Fu Chen said this in a firm tone. He firmly believed that Ning Nanxue would eventually bow to him and ask him to acquire the Ning Group.
Xu Zhiru looked at Fu Chen's conceited look, laughed in her heart, but pretended to be worried on her face and said softly.
"Ah Chen, you're right. Ning Nanxue must be bluffing. She just wants to show off in front of you."
"However, we still have to be careful. Ning Nanxue is a cunning person. She might be playing some tricks again."
Xu Zhiru reminded him in a soft voice, seemingly thinking about Fu Chen, but in fact she was secretly sowing discord and deepening Fu Chen's disgust and contempt for Ning Nanxue.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chen smiled disapprovingly and said in a contemptuous tone.
"Zhiru, don't worry. Ning Nanxue's little tricks are no match for me."
"I've seen through her. She's just struggling to survive. If I put a little more pressure on her, she'll completely collapse and beg for mercy."
After saying this, Fu Chen still had a gloomy face and returned to the study alone.
Although Ning Nanxue did not refuse, it seemed that she would not agree to him easily.
This matter is a protracted psychological battle.
