Indeed, Xia Ning did it on purpose. Her original plan today was to have a Western meal with He Xing. After the meal, if possible, they would watch a movie. If not, she would drag He Xing around shopping for clothes.
Now, since He Xing disagreed with having dinner, she should extend the time they spent together as much as possible; the later He Xing returned, the angrier Fu Han would become.
Just thinking about Fu Han's angry face made Xia Ning's mood improve drastically.

It was the afternoon, and Fu Han was summarizing reports from the various managers, making it easier for her to track everyone's work progress later on.
Such tasks used to be done by Zhao Ting, but now that Zhao Ting was busy in M Country, Fu Han, in order to save costs and unwilling to hire another assistant, had to do it herself.
