Chapter 20: He Couldn’t Help but Glance at Her for A Couple of Times
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the car was parked, Lu Kang helped Nian Junting get out of the car, and Luosang followed closely behind. They took the private elevator to the fifty-second floor, then headed straight to the conference room.
The door opened, and sitting in the room were about twenty top managers in nice suits. Luosang stopped by the door, but Nian Junting suddenly crooked his finger toward her and said, "come in and help me."
Luosang had no other choice but to walk in. She tried her best to make herself invisible, but still felt countless gazes landing on her.
Fortunately, she had been in such situations with her father before, so she took a deep breath, and started to calmly make tea for Nian Junting. Even Nian Junting couldn't help but look at her for a little longer, as he was surprised by her composure. After all, the people sat in this room were all intimidating personalities. He remembered that even Lu Kang was quite nervous when he followed him into this room for the first time.
"Mr. Nian, are you feeling better?" someone asked with concern.
"Do I look like I'm feeling better to you?" Nian Junting knitted his brows and countered back. He made the man too embarrassed to continue talking.
"Alright, this is the year-end summary meeting. Let's save time and begin now," Nian Junting said.
Once he finished this sentence, the atmosphere in the conference room turned more serious than before. Luosang felt that those top managers didn't even dare to breathe too loud. However, what impressed her more was the fact that, although Nian Junting had been talking with a flat tone, every single sentence he said pointed out an essential problem. No wonder he could build a great company at such a young age.
Suddenly, Nian Junting asked with a cold voice, "I have a question. Why don't I see that sum of money from Gao Jian?" and then the conference room fell silent.
A long while later, Yang Fan from the finance department stuttered to explain, "Gao Jian has been suffering losses in the latter half of the year. We've sent people to ask for the money a few times, but their CEO is in the hospital now. Their money has been used for patching up holes. If we push them harder now, that old man might really die…"
Nian Junting sneered, veins throbbing in his temples as he said, "We're running a company, not a charity. Do you know that other large companies have invested Gao Jian too? They want profits at the end of the year, and if you don't give them money, they'll give you trouble. Who can patch this hole then? The others are all waiting for the money to come so that they can have a happy New Year. If he doesn't give his money but threaten to jump from the top of this building, will you take the responsibility?"
Yan Fan blushed, remained silent.
"Before getting off work today, I want you to collect the money no matter what. Tomorrow is the 29th, the last workday of the year. I think you all understand that you won't be able to have a happy New Year if the money isn't in our shareholders' accounts on time," demanded Nian Junting. After throwing out this last word with a frosty tone, Nian Junting ended the meeting.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and Luosang stood in a bright luxurious office. She could see the hanging garden covered in plants, the tennis court, and the swimming pool through the window.
Building a skyscraper like this must cost hundreds of millions.
Luosang remembered that the company owned by the Xu Family was far less luxurious.
She couldn't help but to look at the young and handsome Nian Junting again, who was focused on all kinds of forms at the moment. She kept looking at him from the corner of her eyes until Xiao Xi elegantly walked in through the carved door.
"You're sitting in a wheelchair, yet you're working in the company," he said.
"As the deputy general manager, you didn't attend the year-end summary meeting, and you're late to work. If we relied on you, the company would have tanked long ago," said Nian Junting as he glared at him with a dark face. Nian Junting continued, "If I weren't here, those idiots would have lost Gao Jian's money."
Xiao Si dragged himself a chair to sit down and said, "That's not their fault. That old man Gao Jian is too sneaky, and it's a special case." Luosang poured him a cup of tea. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then praised, "Wow, sister, I didn't know that carers could make nice tea too."
Chapter 21: Mr. Nian, Yi Jingxi From the Xu Group Asked to See You

Hearing Xiao Si, Nian Junting glanced at Luosang silently.
The way she made tea seemed to be quite skillful indeed. "Have you learned how to make tea before?" He asked.
Luosang smiled and responded with, "The older you get, the more you know."
Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, "I don't think you know anything besides eating. And a little compliment can make you so proud. If you are really so capable, why did you become a leftover lady?"
Lousang shut her mouth, speechless. She couldn't understand why Nian Junting saw her as someone who knew nothing but how to eat.
Xiao Si gave him a glance and said, "Tingting, can you not say such mean things? Let's talk about the business. Later, a man will come over to discuss a plan. Please meet him for my sake. One of my good friends insisted on introducing him to me, so let's just see him as a new friend."
"Who?" asked Nian Junting.
"Yi Jingxi, the president of Xu Group."
Bang!
Luosang was turning back to refill the kettle, but upon hearing that name, she forgot to watch her feet and stumbled over a chair, almost falling to the ground. After regaining her balance with quite a bit of effort, she could hear nothing but a buzzing noise from her head, until Nian Junting's angry yell woke her up suddenly.
"Why are you so careless?" He said.
"I'm… I'm sorry," Luosang apologized. She was afraid that the others might detect her emotion, so she didn't dare raise her head, and instead turned around to turn on the water cooler and refill the kettle.
Only she knew that her hands were shaking.
She really didn't expect to hear Yi Jingxi's name again after she came to a strange city, or even run into him.
She had once loved that man so much for so long. She wanted to give him her heart and soul. But now, her heart was filled with nothing but hatred when she heard his name. She wanted to cut his chest open with a knife to see his heart and ask him why he treated her as he did.
However, now was definitely not the right time for her to see him again.
At that moment, Nian Junting's scornful voice was heard again. "Yi Jingxi? Is he the man you mentioned the last time who relied on a woman to climb up and snatched the stake of Xu Pictures?"
"Don't say that," said Xiao Si. "We know that that man is shrewd, but what businessman isn't dark-minded? Do you remember the half-developed, large, outdoor film studio in the River East that is laying as waste because the capital chain is broken? Yi Jingxi took it over, but his fund is insufficient. So he wants to work with us. We can become a shareholder, or find a few investors to fund the project. We'll get fifteen percent of commission, which is quite considerable. And the case is very feasible."
Luosang paused. She had heard about the large outdoor film studio in River East. It was said that the film studio cost billions. She didn't think that Yi Jingxi had so much money to take it over. She underestimated him, and she didn't know how many more secrets he had kept from her. She remembered that when she first met him, he was just an ordinary man who was capable, but had no distinguished family background.
If the outdoor film studio succeeds, Yi Jingxi would become a highly influential person in the entire film industry.
Nian Junting carelessly twisted his thin lips and said, "Em, this man, Yi Jingxi, is really ambitious. It seems that controlling the Xu Group isn't enough for him, so he wants to build a large-scale outdoor film studio for filming and for tourism. I'm afraid he's gonna rule the entertainment circle one day."
"That's why I said this case is worth talking about," said Xiao Si.
Lu Kang knocked the door, then walked in and said, "Mr. Nian, Mr. Yi from the Xu Group is downstairs. He asked to see you, and he said that he has an appointment with Mr. Xiao."
"Tell him to come up," said Nian Junting flatly.
Luoang's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously lowered her head to look at her clothing. It wasn't time for her to meet Yi Jingxi again, and she didn't want him to see her like this.
