Nan Ruo walked in front of him with a wry expression and lowered her head to look at herself.
"Can we set off now?"
Xiao Jingnian smiled, "Of course, let's go."
As he turned to leave, Nan Ruo seemed to remember something and ran back to the locker room.
Xiao Jingnian turned around and looked at her.
She calmly held onto her uniform and said to the staff member, "Please help me find a bag. I'm going to take my clothes with me."
Xiao Jingnian raised his eyebrows. A tattered work shirt...
After the two of them got on the car, Nan Ruo looked at Xiao Jingnian and asked, "What do you need me to do later?"
"As long as you stand by my side and hold my arm, you can be a decoration."
Nan Ruo frowned.
To put it bluntly, he needed a vase to stand by his side and pamper the eyes of others.
Since that was the case, why did he have to look for her?
He really hated it.
As soon as they got out of the car, Nan Ruo's cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was a pretty call, she picked up the phone.
"Captain, we're out. Everything is safe."
Nan Ruo looked at the time. It was already past four o'clock.
"Alright, take them to the base for a ride. You guys can go back and rest."
After hanging up, she said to Xiao Jingnian, "The employees of your company have returned safely."
Xiao Jingnian didn't reply, he just calmly bent his arm and gave her a look.
Nan Ruo looked at him and reluctantly took his arm.
Entering the banquet hall of the hotel, one could simply describe it as bustling with noise and excitement.
Although it couldn't be said to be a sea of people, there were still hundreds of people.
After Xiao Jingnian arrived, many people cast a glance at Nan Ruo who was beside him.
You have to know, Xiao Jingnian never brought a girl with him to a banquet when he went out.
Nan Ruo couldn't help but feel somewhat restrained when she saw the gazes of these people.
She moved closer to Xiao Jingnian: "Why are so many people looking at me, I ??" Is there a problem? "
Xiao Jingnian looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
Nan Ruo looked at him suspiciously. What did that look mean?
Xiao Jingnian said faintly: "Your biggest problem is..." It's so beautiful. "
Her expression turned more serious: "Director Xiao, don't use your methods against women on me, I'm not used to it."
"What, aren't you a woman?"
"I ??" Nan Ruo thought for a moment. "Forget it. You'd better get busy with your business."
Xiao Jingnian said, "Oh, by the way, you are a woman. Last night, when you went into my arms, it was clearly the feeling of a woman's hands."
Nan Ruo pulled her arm away from his.
Xiao Jingnian didn't get angry. Instead, he bent his body and put his face in front of her: "Or should I say, the one you like isn't a man, but ??"
"Xiao Jingnian." Nan Ruo unconsciously called out his name.
Xiao Jingnian?
"Heh," Xiao Jingnian laughed lightly. He stood up and bent his arm again. "If you want to leave as soon as possible, then cooperate with me. Otherwise, it's still unknown whether you can go back tonight."
Nan Ruo was the most tactful as she once again held onto his arm.
In less than a minute, a middle-aged man walked over with his female companions along with a few other men.
"Director Xiao, welcome, welcome. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Jingnian nodded to the other person: "Director Luo."
The woman next to the middle-aged man first sized up Nan Ruo before she smiled at Xiao Jingnian and said, "Good day, Director Xiao. I'm Luo Qiuyi, we've met before."
From Xiao Jingnian's expression, it was obvious that he no longer had any impression of Luo Qiuyi.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Little Forge is my daughter. Last month, I took her to attend a banquet at Xiao's."
Xiao Jingnian replied faintly: "There were too many people that day, so I don't have much of an impression of it."
Luo Qiu looked at Nan Ruo and asked, "Director Xiao, who is this?"
Xiao Jingnian turned around and glanced at Nan Ruo. Then, he said, "My lady companion, Miss Nan, since the greetings are over, let's get down to business. I'm ru
ing out of time."
When Director Luo heard this, he hurriedly led the way: "Director Xiao, this way, please."
Since they came to a small round table and sat down together, Director Luo took the initiative to discuss the cooperation project with Xiao Jingnian.
Nan Ruo sat to the side, bored. She felt the enmity coming from her.
Xiao Jingnian also looked at her from time to time.
Seeing that she was really bored, Director Luo was just about to say something when Xiao Jingnian walked up to Nan Ruo's ear and said: "Go and get something to eat."
Nan Ruo looked at him.
He whispered, "Eating can ease the awkwardness."
Nan Ruo felt that this made sense. She got up and went to get her meal.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qiuyi also hurriedly stood up, "Dad, I want to go get some food as well."
Nan Ruo was so captivated by the variety of delicacies on the table that she didn't pay attention to Luo Qiuyi, who had already followed them.
Luo Qiuyi cleared her throat. Seeing that Nan Ruo wasn't even looking at her, she felt a little displeased.
"Miss Nan."
Nan Ruo turned around and noticed Luo Qiu following them.
"What's the matter?"
Luo Qiuyi raised her eyebrows, "What's your relationship with Director Xiao?"
Nan Ruo turned her head to look at the man not far away.
Her relationship with Xiao Jingnian...
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Qiu didn't believe her. "You're lying to ghosts. If you really had nothing to do with each other, would Director Xiao have brought you to attend such an important summit?"
Nan Ruo said calmly, "Believe it or not."
"Let me tell you, Director Xiao is someone I like first, if you have any thoughts about him, you should give up on that idea as soon as possible. If you insist on continuing with him, then we will be rivals in love. We will see in the future."
Nan Ruo stopped and looked at him mockingly, "Miss, I advise you to go and tell him that you have taken a fancy to him. Don't try to chat with me, I'm not a Cupid."
She took the plate and walked back.
In this day and age, there really are all kinds of people.
Luo Qiuyi gloomily waited for Nan Ruo's back. She was extremely infuriated in her heart.
Nan Ruo returned to her seat and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.
Xiao Jingnian couldn't help but smile as he looked at her attitude.
"No me?"
Nan Ruo looked at him. He didn't say anything about asking her for food.
"This female companion of yours is truly incompetent."
At the same time, Luo Qiu returned with a plate.
Director Luo quickly said, "It's fine, Director Xiao. You brought it back from eating Little Forty."
When Luo Qiu heard this, she was so happy that she was about to pass her own dining plate.
However, Xiao Jingnian was even faster and easily pulled Nan Ruo's plate in front of him.
"No need, I'll just eat it from my girlfriend."
Nan Ruo looked at him, speechless.
Xiao Jingnian said indifferently: "Go ahead and get another one."
Nan Ruo held herself back. She still wanted to return on time, so she didn't argue with him.
She stood up and went to get her meal again.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu sat down gloomily and asked Xiao Jingnian: "Director Xiao, what is your relationship with this Miss Nan?"
