"Yes, I just woke up... "
Liu Wanwan could hear the tiredness in Du Anran's voice, and she said apologetically, "sister Anran, I'm sorry. I was so happy yesterday that I brought wine. I didn't know that you would get drunk. "
"It has nothing to do with you. I can't hold my liquor to begin with. "
"I'm relieved when you say that! " Liu Wanwan seemed to be relieved. "When that beast came to pick you up yesterday, that look almost ate me up! He seemed to be very concerned about you... "
Liu Wanwan smiled sinisterly, and Du Anran also smiled. "He does that to everyone. "
She suddenly thought of Mi Li, who was sitting in his car yesterday. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be quite harmonious.
"What do you mean by doing that to everyone? Sister Anran, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF! " Liu Wanwan saw that something was wrong. "You didn't get provoked, did you? "
What kind of provocation could she get... ...
Du Anran smiled. "What nonsense are you talking about? Just take it that I'm jealous of you and Sun Ping. I'M JEALOUS! "
"Sister Anran, I'm the one who's jealous of you. Although that beast has a bad temper, he's really pleasing to the eye. Isn't he handsome? He's also a bachelor. You're not at a disadvantage either. Who knows how many women are waiting for him! "
"right... " Du Anran lowered her voice.
Yes, he had always been very outstanding. It was precisely because of this that she suddenly felt inferior. She could not compare to any of the women around him. She was not as cute as Chi Xue, not as beautiful as Mi Li, not as capable as Xiao Qingqing... ... She did not have any background or background. What right did she have to stand by his side ...
Liu Wanwan saw that she was in a low mood and could not help but comfort her. In the end, she even invited her out for dinner, but Du Anran declined.
She did not have to go to work today. Du Anran originally thought that Xin Zimo was free too, but he did not call her even after a whole day. When she was bored, she could only turn on the television. However, she did not expect to see him on the live broadcast of city a television station.
So it was the Xin Corporation's press conference, announcing the news of the collaboration with the media.
What surprised Du Anran was that the person standing beside him was not the popular movie star, Mi Li. Instead, it was a newcomer who was not as famous as Mi Li in all aspects. Didn't they talk about collaboration last night Did the talks fall apart?
Du Anran felt that as long as it was something that Xin zimo wanted to talk about, the talks would not fall apart.
It was probably because he did not want to work with Mi Li anymore... ...
She continued to watch without blinking. Xin Zimo stood in front of the press platform with a solemn expression and a serious smile. He had a strong aura and a calm temperament. He was still wearing a black suit, and his voice was deep and powerful.
She had not seen Xin Zimo for seven or eight days. When she saw him now, du Anran's heart suddenly jumped.
This man did not have the shamelessness and arrogance that she had when she was with him. At this moment, no matter how she looked at it, he did not look like her Xin Zimo.
When she heard his voice at the press conference, she felt a vague sense of absent-mindedness. Was He Xin Zimo?
Just as she was staring at the person on the video, the press conference had already ended. Next was the segment where the reporters would answer their questions. The scene was a little chaotic, and Xin Zimo obviously did not want to stay any longer. Only Sun Ping and a few of the company's vice presidents were left at the scene.
"This time, the Xin Corporation has suspended its cooperation with Miss Mi Li. May I ask if this will cause any losses to the Xin Corporation? " A reporter asked.
Sun Ping had a calm expression on his face. "supporting newcomers has always been the style of the Xin Corporation. I believe that this cooperation with the Phantom Group will be even more successful. "
Du Anran saw that Xin Zimo had left, and she also turned off the television. Most of the Xin Corporation's employees had gone to the press conference, but unfortunately, no one had informed her to go.
She had always been a glutton in the Xin Corporation, so it was not her place to participate in the affairs of the Xin Corporation.
However, it was also a coincidence. Just as Du Anran was about to go home, she unexpectedly met an uninvited guest on the road.
A Red Audi convertible. When the woman wearing sunglasses drove to du Anran's side, she slowed down the car and blocked du Anran's way.
Although the person in the car wore sunglasses, du Anran still recognized her at a glance. Everyone knew the popular movie star of City A, Mi Li. In the past, when the world was thriving, Mi Li had been invited to a cocktail party, but that was a long time ago.
Du Anran and Mi Li had almost no interaction.
"Are you du Anran? " Mi Li took off her sunglasses and looked straight at DU anran.
"I am, " Du Anran said.
"You are quite dignified, but not beautiful or charming enough. " Mi Li sized up Du Anran and clicked her tongue.
"In terms of beauty, of course, no one in city a can compare to Miss Mi Li, " du Anran said with a smile.
"You're quite good with words. " Mi Li was usually busy, so she did not remember that Du Anran was the daughter of the previous life. "I've seen you in the newspapers, the London reception. "
"It's also an honor to be noticed by Miss Mi Li. " Du Anran knew that it was the last London thank-you reception. At that time, she was in London, so she did not know whether public opinion had already spread all over the country.
"I'm not paying attention to you, I'm paying attention to Xin Zimo. " Mi Li laughed and said frankly, "today's Xin group's press conference is really grand. It's a pity that I didn't attend. "
"there are plenty of opportunities. Miss Mi Li is very popular in City A. The Xin Corporation will definitely continue to cooperate with Miss Mi Li. " Du Anran could not offend Mi Li, so she only said perfunctorily.
"Is this how you usually talk to Xin Zimo? " Mi Li felt that Du Anran was really an unreasonable and inflexible woman. How could such a woman be taken in by Xin Zimo?
Du Anran only wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she said, "I don't have many opportunities to communicate with CEO Xin. "
Mi Li laughed loudly. "Don't lie to me. There aren't many opportunities to communicate. Can he give you this ring? "
Mi Li stared at the diamond ring on her hand. Du Anran crossed his hands to cover the ring. Ordinary people couldn't tell the value of this ring, but Mi Li was used to being in the upper-class circle. How could she not know the value of this "heart of an angel" ?
"Miss Mi Li, it's nice to meet you, but I have something to do. I'll take my leave first. "
"where are you going? I'll send you off? "
"No need, thank you. I'll take a taxi. " Du Anran smiled.
The taxi arrived in a short while. Du Anran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not know how to deal with such a woman. She was also afraid that if she offended Mi Li, she would be in big trouble.
The radio station in the taxi was playing today's news. Du Anran heard the name of the Xin Group again. Even the driver could not help but say, "there's a lot of news about the Xin Group recently. "
Not long after, the radio station's news switched again. It was actually playing the hijacking incident from a few days ago.
Du Anran listened carefully. According to the news, the instigator of the hijacking had been caught. It was a group of foreign terrorists and the case was awaiting review.
Du Anran did not quite believe it. Foreign terrorists?
"hijacking, it sounds really terrifying, " the driver said. "fortunately, there were no casualties, and the plane landed safely. "
"They... why did they hijacked the plane? " Du Anran asked ...
"terrorists, they don't follow the rules. "
"Oh... " Du Anran did not believe it at all. It was clearly organized and premeditated.
However, Xin Zimo had never revealed such an important matter to her. He had changed his flight ticket to and from London, but he did not tell her the reason.
Moreover, the Xin Corporation seemed to be thriving. The News of the failed acquisition of a few banks had probably not spread yet.
Du Anran did not dare to think that he had used his life to protect confidential financial information. In the end, he had miscalculated. If it was really because of the leak of the contents of the meeting, then she was the main culprit.
Two months ago, she had been looking forward to the closing down of the Xin Corporation every night, and Xin Zimo was in dire straits. But two months later, if everything was as she had hoped, why didn't she have the pleasure of revenge?
When the taxi stopped at her door, Du Anran saw the dazzling Bentley the moment she got out of the car.
It was Xie Chenjin again... ...
"Miss Du, we meet again. "
"But I don't want to see you, " Du Anran said unhappily.
In the past, Du Anran thought that dealing with women was a scary thing. But later, she realized that men with schemes were scarier than women. Xie Chenjin belonged to this category.
"The Xie Corporation will hold a press conference in three days. I would like to invite you to attend. " Xie Chenjin took out a red invitation card and placed it in Du Anran's hand.
The invitation card still carried the fragrance of flowers and the faint fragrance of perfume on Xie chenjin's clothes. Many people would dream of getting an official invitation card from the Xie Bank!
However, Du Anran could not accept it. She rejected it. "I don't have time. "
The Xin Corporation had just finished their press conference when the Xie Corporation followed closely behind. She did not know what Xie Chenjin was planning.
"It's only a day's time. I don't believe that you don't have time. " Xie Chenjin stared at her. He could clearly see her avoiding him.
"I really don't have time. Don't look for me again in the future! " Du Anran left Xie Chenjin's side without turning her head.
"Don't you know that it's a bad habit to not keep your word? "
Xie Chenjin pulled Du Anran from behind. Du Anran was wearing high heels and couldn't stand properly. Just when she almost fell, Xie Chenjin wrapped his arms around her waist.
Du Anran was caught off guard and fell into Xie Chenjin's arms. As soon as she touched him, she instinctively struggled free. However, this man was as overbearing as Xin Zimo and didn't allow her to resist at all.
"Xie Chenjin, let go of me! " Du Anran tried her best to keep a distance from him.
She could no longer see the elegance that he had when he treated everyone equally. His demeanor seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
He narrowed his eyes, and there was not a trace of a smile on his lips. He placed the invitation card in her hand. "You have to come even if you don't want to! "
"Xie Chenjin, are you crazy? " She called out his name. She could not afford to offend this man either.
"I think I'm crazy. " A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of Xie Chenjin's mouth.
"Xie Chenjin, I won't go! " Du Anran was still very clear. If she went, it would be equivalent to giving Xin Zimo a slap. What would the media think? What would the public think? What would he think... ...
"You really love him. " Xie Chenjin let go of her hand. Du Anran staggered a few steps back and leaned against the tree trunk behind her.
Xie Chenjin pursed his lips and glanced at her. He did not force her. He did not say a word. He walked straight to the driver's seat and drove away.
Du Anran looked at the invitation card in her hand. The red background stung her eyes. The contract between her and Xie Chenjin was undoubtedly a time bomb. If one day Xie Chenjin no longer kept his promise and stopped being a gentleman, she would have no way out.
Perhaps, she had another choice, which was to cooperate with Xie Chenjin, watch the Xin Corporation fall, and leave the country.
However, as Xie Chenjin had just said, she loved Xin Zimo... ...
