Ning Wen was as curious as Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He kept looking around at the place he had always wanted to visit, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.
The entire Taifeng Building is made of floor-to-ceiling glass, and the 28th floor has a height of three meters, making the entire space appear very bright even at night. The night view of Shuncheng outside the window is in full view, and the hustle and bustle of the city can only show its prosperous nature at such a height.
The roof is like a huge hemisphere, divided into orderly grids by glass. At the intersection of each grid is a hidden spotlight. A faint yellow halo shines down from the top of the head. On such a moonless night, it seems as if stars are dotted on the dark night sky.
The interior furnishings are exquisite, and every piece of decoration is extremely luxurious, which is the consistent style of the Mu family.
Qin Jie led them to a huge light grey sofa that was spotless. In front of the sofa was a coffee table that could be raised and lowered. He raised the coffee table several levels himself and sat opposite Luo Youyou, as if he was deliberately using the coffee table to keep a safe distance from Luo Youyou.
Ning Wen sat next to Qin Jie, still immersed in the shock of the 28th floor and unable to extricate himself. He seemed a little absent-minded, as if his long-cherished ambition had been realized. His expression revealed a smugness that made Luo Youyou even more annoyed.
Noticing that Luo Youyou had been staring at him, Ning Wen coughed twice awkwardly, smiling in what he thought was a friendly but actually flattering manner.
"I heard that the market of Taifeng was conquered by Director Ning. Director Ning looks so young and full of drive." Luo Youyou leaned on the armrest of the sofa, supporting her cheek with one hand and tilting her head with an obscure expression, as if she was laughing, but also as if she was mocking someone, which made Ning Wen and Qin Jie unable to understand.
"Ms. Luo, you are too kind. It's all thanks to Mr. Qin." Ning Wen felt uncomfortable being stared at by Luo Youyou, but he still didn't forget to flatter Qin Jie.
Qin Jie didn't seem to buy it. He didn't refute it, nor did he politely refuse.
"It can be seen that Director Ning is very cultured." Luo Youyou still had a half-smile on her face. Although it sounded like a compliment, Ning Wen found it particularly irritating.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Luo. I still have a lot of shortcomings." Ning Wen was afraid that Luo Youyou's smile would become even weirder if he said too much, so he changed his strategy.
"I heard that Director Ning has a younger brother who is also a young talent."
Ning Wen was a little flustered by Luo Youyou's incoherent words. The relationship between the brothers and sisters in their Ning family was not good. When their father passed away, he and Ning Guang won the property, and his sister cut off contact with them. Later, because of the issue of supporting their mother, the three of them fought fiercely, and until now there was no conclusion as to who would take care of the elderly.
After fighting for so many years, there was finally two years of peace. He almost forgot that he had a sister and a brother. Many new colleagues around him didn't know about this. Why did Luo Youyou ask about it?
"I also work for the Mu family, but not in Taifeng." Ning Wen's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and his clenched fists were slippery with cold sweat. Why did he feel so oppressive and fearful in front of a young girl who looked no more than 28 years old? He even dared not answer her questions.
"Director Ning's younger brother is Ning Guang. He is an engineer at Hongyi Machine Tool Factory and an extremely talented person." Qin Jie added.
"Didn't I ask you to transfer him over as well?" Luo Youyou turned around and asked Mu Yaxi. She had had enough of the hypocritical language games. After saying so much, she still hadn't decided what to do with the three siblings of the Ning family. It would be too easy for them to just get rid of them directly.
Ning Wen was stunned for a moment, and a bean-sized bead of sweat rolled down his forehead onto his pants.
Mu Yaxi was playing office golf with others on the other side. When he heard Luo Youyou's question, he hurried over and said, "The transfer procedures of the Mu family are quite complicated. He is still handling the handover with Hong Yi."
Luo Youyou glanced at the clock on the other side and said, "Half an hour."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to tell him to come over right away." Mu Yaxi hurried out to make a phone call. She had clearly felt that Luo Youyou's aura had changed. At this moment, it seemed as if there was an invisible darkness pressing on her head. She glanced at the others. Although they were still playing golf, they were all stealing glances at Luo Youyou.
Qin Jie and Ning Wen were shocked. Who was this little girl and how could she order the eldest daughter of the Mu family around?
Ning Wen became even more restless. He couldn't tell what he was nervous about or what he was afraid of. His legs were shaking. He tried hard to look shocked, but his embarrassment was already seen by Luo Youyou.
"You look very nervous." Luo Youyou exposed him mercilessly.
Ning Wen's legs went weak, and he couldn't even sit on the sofa anymore. He slid down and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Miss Luo, just say whatever you want to say."
Ning Wen knew he was utterly embarrassed at the moment. A middle-aged man kneeling before a little girl—he'd never kneeled before anyone, not even his parents—and now he was kneeling before a little girl. He didn't know why, but he was just afraid, terrified, as if an invisible force was controlling him, making him unable to control himself.
"Tsk tsk tsk, why didn't you think that this day would come when you abandoned your mother?" Luo Youyou finally stopped beating around the bush, "How could the Mu Family Group reuse someone like you?" After saying that, she looked at Qin Jie evilly.
Qin Jie's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why Ning Wen suddenly knelt down. When Luo Youyou glanced at him, he realized that her eyes were as sharp as a torch, like a sharp knife that went straight into the deepest part of his heart, piercing the deepest hidden fear.
But Qin Jie had been through a lot after all. He calmed himself down and swallowed hard, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"There's nothing for you to do here, so go out." Luo Youyou had some admiration for Qin Jie.
Qin Jie quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and hurried out, wanting to quickly escape the oppressive feeling here. Only after he left the door did he dare to breathe deeply and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Lang Bai and Yuri looked at each other again, smiled helplessly, and both felt sympathy for Qin Jie in their hearts. Luo Youyou's energy field was too strong. Ordinary people would feel oppressed just standing next to her, not to mention that Luo Youyou's anger just now increased her energy. They all felt it, let alone Qin Jie.
Ning Wen curled up on the ground, not daring to move, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing him shivering, Luo Youyou felt disgusted. She simply left him curled up there and went to play golf with them. The main characters had not arrived yet, so the show could not begin.
