Upon seeing the outstretched hand of the other party, Ning Ruojun also extended her hand and shook hands with Si Yunli politely.

“CEO Si, nice to meet you! So, you’ve been looking for me? I’ve been too busy these past few days and when my assistant told me someone was looking for me, I didn’t expect it to be CEO Si!”

Si Yunli smiled even brighter. “CEO Ning must be here on a business trip. Do you have any plans for later? I know of a good tea house nearby. If you’re free, we could go there together and chat…”

Ning Ruojun smiled and sighed, “Ah, what a shame. I came here to catch up on a project and my schedule is packed. I’m afraid I’ll be busy until late tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Si Yunli glanced at Gu Youchen and nodded at him. “CEO Gu is also here? Are you and CEO Ning meeting to discuss a project?”

Gu Youchen nodded in response, “En, we are discussing a very important matter.”

Si Yunli’s heart dropped, and his mind began to race. 

A very important matter? Is Ning Venture Capital planning to cooperate with the Gu family? Why hadn’t he heard any news about this before?

Despite his thoughts, Si Yunli maintained a smile on his face. “CEO Ning, then are you staying in Beijing for the next few days? We could arrange for a meeting tomorrow…”

Ning Ruojun showed a curious expression. “CEO Si, are you planning to discuss a major project with me? Aiya, my company is small, I’m afraid I might delay CEO Si’s ability to make money!”

Who among all those present didn’t know that the Si family was on the brink of collapse? Their previous projects had failed beyond repair and now they were scrambling for investment.

How were they making big money? They were just trying to hold on!

Although Si Yunli knew his situation, no matter how suffocated he felt, he could only continue to smile.

“CEO Ning, you are too kind. Who in the financial circle doesn’t know of your capabilities.” Si Yunli forced a smile, “I do have a project that I would like to collaborate with you on. Please let me know when you have the time, I am free whenever.”

At this moment, Ning Qingqing walked out of the bathroom.

Since Si Yunli had been talking to Ning Ruojun the whole time, Gu Youchen was standing aside with nothing to do. This was why Shen Zhiyu had already approached him.

She looked up at Gu Youchen, with a hint of provocation in her eyes, but her gaze couldn’t help but attach to him. “What is Young Master Gu doing here?”

She sounded a bit aggressive, but in her heart, she was desperately hoping for Gu Youchen to respond.

However, Gu Youchen seemed to not have heard her words at all, even his gaze was lax.

Shen Zhiyu’s self-esteem was hurt and the bitterness in her heart chewed at her. She couldn’t help but ask again, “Young Master Gu, why aren’t you responding to me?”

Only then did Gu Youchen give her a cold glance. “Do I have the need to respond to you?”

“You–” Shen Zhiyu’s eyes turned red, and her chest heaved as she asked, “I heard that you fought with Kenny at the club. Why?”

Footsteps could be heard from the other end of the hallway, and it was Ning Qingqing who was walking over.

Shen Zhiyu saw her and suddenly realized that Gu Youchen was waiting there for Ning Qingqing. She became even angrier and asked, “Why are you with Ning Qingqing? She’s my brother’s girlfriend!”

Gu Youchen frowned, but he didn’t want to deal with Shen Zhiyu.

Shen Zhiyu was 18 years old, but no matter how one compared her to Qin Yanyue who was 15 years old, she was much less sensible.

Gu Youchen didn’t even bother to explain anything to her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyu walked toward Ning Qingqing instead when she saw that Gu Youchen was ignoring her, her eyes filled with anger. “Aren’t you my brother’s girlfriend? Why are you always with Gu Youchen? Do you even know what shame is…”

But before she could finish her sentence, Ning Qingqing ignored her and walked over to Gu Youchen.

Gu Youchen naturally took Ning Qingqing’s hand, and the two of them smiled at each other, completely treating Shen Zhiyu like a clown.

Shen Zhiyu was shocked as she watched Gu Youchen and Ning Qingqing holding hands.

Meanwhile, facing them, Si Luoqing was also shocked.

What was going on? Was Ning Qingqing fooling around with Gu Youchen behind Shen Zhiyu’s back?

Si Luoqing recalled that day at the club when Ning Qingqing and Shen Zhiqian were arguing and not really communicating, but instead, she was talking to Gu Youchen the whole time.

Could it be…

A wave of shock and horror surged in her heart!

On the other side, Ning Ruojun, who was talking to Si Yunli, saw her daughter approaching and waved at her. “Qingqing, come over here.”

Ning Qingqing walked over.

Ning Ruojun said to Si Yunli, “CEO Si, I’m too busy, so I’ve handed all the project matters over to the staff below me. This is the project specialist from our company’s Beijing office, Ning Qingqing. We’ve entrusted all the projects on your side to her.”

Si Yunli felt frustrated. He knew that Ning Ruojun was basically in charge of coordination or maintaining relationships with major clients and would generally not personally participate in projects.

But he felt that his project should at the very least be assigned to a project manager! Instead, Ning Ruojun had assigned a project specialist to him!

However, he could only endure it.
