Chapter 27 - Tension

"Then, I'll be Ningning's assistant for the next few days! Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop on business secrets. I still have professional ethics." Wu Ming arranged the schedule for himself.

Ning Zhi saw that he looked silly and burst out laughing.

"By the way, Ningning, we don't have a way to contact each other yet!" Wu Ming took out his phone and hinted at her.

Finally, she added his contact information under his coaxing and pestering.

After getting off the plane, she planned to leave him, but she realized that he had been following behind her.

Every time she stopped or turned around, he would immediately say that it was on the way.

Just as she was about to clarify, she realized that there were two cars parked by the roadside, one of them was Wu Ming's.

The other car was worn-down, like a modified used van. Could this be the car that was here to pick her up and take her to the office?

Ning Zhi took a closer look, the license plate number given by the other party was indeed the same as the minivan. Were they trying to take her down a notch?

Wu Ming, the pampered young master, didn't realize anything at all. "Ningning, the car that picked you up has not arrived yet?"

He completely ignored the fact that a few dirty-dressed people had gotten out of the minivan, holding fragments torn from cardboard boxes.

The name on it was written enormously. It was Ning Zhi.

"Ningning, are they here to pick you up?" Wu Ming felt that his worldview had been shattered. He was not looking down on the poor, but he could tell that the other party was disgusted with Ning Zhi. "Why don't you ride with me?"

Instead, Ning Zhi pulled her luggage and walked over.

The man holding the cardboard fragment approached with a smile. "Special Assistant Ning, you're finally here."

This man was Zhang Li, and he was the person in charge of the He Ling Project. However, as soon as Ning Zhi got closer, she smelled a sour odor that made Ning Zhi want to vomit.

"Manager Zhang, how are you doing?" Ning Zhi held back her nausea and greeted Zhang Li. "Where's Li Mu?"

Li Mu had been nurtured by Ning Zhi. He had a high level of comprehension and was quick to learn, capable of handling things independently. Therefore, she recommended Li Mu when the head office needed someone to stay in He Gang as the project manager.

"Manager Li has some matters to attend to, so I'm here to pick you up." Zhang Li smiled obsequiously, but it disgusted her.

Zhang Li carefully observed the woman in front of him, and his thoughts gradually became distorted. This woman seemed more attractive than a year ago, and Zhang Li's thoughts turned sinister.

He also remembered Lu Yue's instructions to 'take care' of Ning Zhi. He had no choice. After all, Lu Yue provided more money and allowed him to sleep with her. He wondered what it would be like with Ning Zhi in bed.

"Is this how you receive me?" Ning Zhi pointed at the broken van behind them.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Li laughed disgustingly again. "The company's budget is limited."

"Brother Zhang, is this the woman? She looks good, hehe." The man beside Zhang Li suddenly spoke, using vulgar words that made her frown.

However, Zhang Li tried to smooth things over. "Special Assistant Ning, don't blame him. He didn't receive much education. He's just complimenting your appearance."

Ning Zhi had no intention of engaging with them but unexpectedly, the man approached her. "Special Assistant Ning, welcome to He Ling. You'd better come with us."

The repulsive odor became even stronger, causing Ning Zhi to vomit.

"Aiya, Special Assistant Ning, are you alright?" Zhang Li pretended to reach out and touch Ning Zhi's back, but he was blocked by Wu Ming.

"Ningning, have you guys finished talking? The driver is waiting."

Wu Ming stood at the side and did not listen to the conversation between Ning Zhi and them, but he noticed that Ning Zhi's expression was getting worse. Combined with the unfriendly expressions of the men in front, they looked like hooligans.

He was worried about Ning Zhi leaving with them, so he came forward to talk to her. However, he did not expect that man to touch Ning Zhi inappropriately.

Wu Ming pushed away Zhang Li's hand. Although he was smiling, Zhang Li felt a strong sense of oppression.

"Special Assistant Ning still has something to do."
