"I know." Ning Nanxue said firmly, "But I have to do this. For Sui Sui and for myself, I must completely defeat Fu Chen and Xu Zhiru and make them pay the price they deserve!"
Looking at the determination in Ning Nanxue's eyes, Jiang Tingchen knew that he couldn't stop her.
He sighed and finally chose to support Ning Nanxue's decision, "Okay, Xue'er, I support you. No matter what you do, I will stand by you."
Ning Nanxue looked at Jiang Tingchen gratefully, her eyes filled with emotion, "Thank you, Tingchen, I know you have been helping me all the time."
Jiang Tingchen smiled gently, raised his hand and gently stroked Ning Nanxue's hair, "Silly, do we still need to say thank you to each other?"
In the next few days, the cooperation between Fu Group and Ning Group began to take shape.
The two teams began to contact each other. On the surface, they seemed harmonious and peaceful, but in fact, undercurrents were surging and each had its own ulterior motives.
The cooperation team sent by Fu Chen was ostensibly here to discuss cooperation, but in fact, they were trying every possible means to find out the internal information of the Ning Group and the inside story of the cooperation between Ning Nanxue and Huayun Group.
Ning Nanxue had also made preparations. She put her secretary in charge of the docking work with the Fu Group. The secretary was smart and versatile, and she handled the various temptations of the Fu Group skillfully without any loopholes.
The contact between the two teams seemed to be going smoothly on the surface, but in fact, it was full of temptations and precautions. Everyone had ulterior motives and was secretly competing for their own interests.
The curtain of "cooperation" seemed to be opened gently.
The team sent by the Fu Group, led by the manager of the marketing department and a group of elite backbones, entered the Ning Group in a mighty manner.
On the surface, the purpose is to discuss cooperation details and discuss development plans.
In fact, there was an invisible smoke of gunpowder in the air.
On the Ning Group side, Ning Nanxue assigned Secretary Chen to be fully responsible for the connection.
Secretary Chen is as shrewd as a ghost, very good at dealing with people. He always smiles, but in fact he is very careful.
Every time the Fu team threw out a temptation, he cleverly resolved it with little effort.
In the meeting room, the atmosphere seemed harmonious on the surface, everyone was smiling and praising each other.
Behind the scenes, however, undercurrents were surging, everyone had their own little thoughts, testing each other, and guarding against each other.
Fu Chen would occasionally appear in person at the Ning Group.
He was dressed in a suit and looked very respectable, as if the previous hysteria had never happened.
He would "happen" to "meet" Ning Nanxue in the tea room.
"Mr. Ning, is there anything else you need to add about the cooperation plan?" Fu Chen held the coffee and spoke in a gentle tone, like a boss who cared about his subordinates.
Ning Nanxue didn't even look at him, walked straight to the coffee machine and made a cup for herself.
"Mr. Fu, regarding the plan, you can just contact Secretary Chen directly." Her voice was cold and distant.
Fu Chen seemed not to hear her refusal and continued, "Mr. Ning, there may be some misunderstanding about what happened at the resort last time. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Ning Nanxue made the coffee, turned around, and her eyes finally fell on Fu Chen's face with a hint of sarcasm.
"Mr. Fu, you're joking. Why would I care about someone who has nothing to do with me?"
Fu Chen's smile froze on his face, and the liquid in the coffee cup swayed and almost spilled.
"Mr. Ning, after all, we were once..." Fu Chen tried to play the emotional card with an ambiguous tone.
Ning Nanxue interrupted him directly, her tone extremely cold.
"Mr. Fu, please be careful with your words. It's working hours now, and we're only discussing business matters."
"As for the past, that's already in the past. It's better for Mr. Fu to look forward."
Fu Chen hit a complete snag, his face turned pale, and he couldn't utter another word.
Ning Nanxue took the coffee and left the tea room, leaving Fu Chen standing there alone with an extremely ugly look on his face.
In the office, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen stood side by side, dealing with piles of documents.
The sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft halo on the two of them.
Jiang Tingchen turned his head from time to time to look at Ning Nanxue, his eyes gentle and focused.
Ning Nanxue finished processing a document, stretched, turned to look at Jiang Tingchen, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Senior, let's have lunch together today. I want to eat at the Japanese restaurant downstairs from the company."
A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Tingchen's eyes, and he nodded immediately.
"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."
The two packed up their things and walked out of the office side by side.
In the corridor, many employees saw this scene and cast envious glances.
"Mr. Ning and Mr. Jiang are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
"And Mr. Jiang is so nice to President Ning. He comes to the company every day to work overtime with President Ning."
Naturally, these discussions also reached Fu Chen's ears.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking at Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen walking side by side downstairs, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip from it.
The sunlight shining on them seemed to have coated them with a layer of golden light, making them look even more dazzling.
But he could only hide in a dark corner like a rat in a gutter, watching all this with jealousy.
Jealousy grew wildly in Fu Chen's heart like weeds, almost devouring him completely.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, and only then could he barely suppress the anger in his heart.
"Jiang Tingchen, Ning Nanxue, just wait for me!" Fu Chen growled with gritted teeth, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness.
Fu Chen stepped up his investigation into Jiang Tingchen.
He mobilized all his connections and even spent a lot of money to hire a private detective.
However, the results of the investigation still left him confused.
Jiang Tingchen's background is like a layer of fog. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot see the truth.
On the surface, Jiang Tingchen is just an ordinary businessman with some companies under his name, but none of them are too large.
The relationship with Huayun Group only remains at the level of "cooperation" and there is no deeper connection.
But Fu Chen always felt something was wrong.
Jiang Tingchen can easily deal with online public opinion and has such a great influence within Huayun Group. This is definitely not something an ordinary businessman can do.
The more he investigated, the more he felt Jiang Tingchen was unfathomable, and the more anxious and uneasy he felt.
As night fell, Ning Nanxue was still working overtime in the office.
In order to advance the cooperation project with Huayun Group as soon as possible, she works until late at night almost every day.
In the office, only one desk lamp was on, and the soft light shone on Ning Nanxue's delicate profile, making her look even more cold and focused.
Fu Chen came to Ning Group again.
He didn't make an appointment in advance and went straight to the door of the president's office.
The secretary had already left work, and the corridor was empty and quiet, with only his own footsteps echoing in the empty space.
Fu Chen walked to the office door, raised his hand and knocked gently.
"Please come in." Ning Nanxue's cold voice came from inside.
Fu Chen pushed the door open and walked in.
