Everyone present except Tang Song and Guan Ningning knew that he was building a retreat. Since Tang Song and Guan Ningning were there, they all naturally avoided the topic.

Shen Muting is really ready to draw a clear line with the Shen family.

The White Oak Mountain project was one of the projects that paved the way for him to leave the Shen family, and it was only a small project.

On the side, Guan Ningning was sitting upright, with her heart hanging, as if she was being pushed onto the guillotine, waiting for Lingchi.

After discussing the project, Shen Muting left.

Xu Jingan continued to sit there and play cards.

Guan Ningning stayed aside. If he didn't say anything, she couldn't leave, but she couldn't do anything.

Xu Jing'an glanced at her from time to time. This time she was honest and her eyes did not drift to Tang Song from beginning to end. However, the more this happened, the more it showed that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion, and Xu Jing'an felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. It was like he had changed. He didn't look like him anymore.

Guan Ningning also has no temper. In the past, she wanted to sell wine with dignity and refused to bow her head and laugh with her, until she was crushed by the last straw and met Xu Jingan.

She basically didn't use the luxury goods he gave her. She just kept the big-name clothes and bags in the cabinet, and she didn't even drive the luxury car he gave her.

With her status, she couldn't afford those luxuries.

The only valuable thing is the watch, which I think is inconspicuous, and I really need to wear a watch to check the time at work. I can't just take out my mobile phone to check the time from time to time.

Everyone likes to have a pet with a good personality and make it happy.

She couldn't make Xu Jing'an unhappy, no matter what kind of relationship she had.

"Jing'an, what's going on with you? You've been losing today." Gu Huaixi said with a smile.

Xu Jing'an raised his eyebrows, "How about I let you win more money?"

"Of course, it's rare for you to be a money-splitting boy."

Xu Jing'an asked the waiter to bring food in and give it to Guan Ningning.

Guan Ningning was flattered, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

She stayed aside, eating quietly, not participating in their conversation, not trying to gain presence or please anyone.

She didn't get a good rest last night, and she felt sleepy after eating so much that Guan Ningning fell asleep on the sofa.

After Xu Jing'an ordered food for Guan Ningning, he stopped paying attention to her and continued to play cards. He was a little absent-minded and lacked interest. He could win from time to time, but lost too much. Later he noticed that Guan Ningning was asleep.

After playing the deck of cards in his hand, he said without interest: "No more playing, let's go."

Gu Huaixi was very happy to win, "Hey, it's still early, why don't we fight? If we fight for a while, I haven't won enough yet."

Xu Jing'an didn't bother to waste any time on him, so he turned around and called Guan Ningning, "Secretary Guan, wake up, let's go."

Guan Ningning struggled to open her eyes. She was so sleepy that she forgot where she was for a moment. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses and stood up.

Guan Ningning greeted Gu Huaixi and the others, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Fu, and Mr. Tang, we're leaving first."

Xu Jing'an had already walked out, and Guan Ningning turned around and followed him.

Gu Huaixi and Tang Song couldn't play cards, and drinking was no fun, so they all dispersed.

While waiting for the elevator, Tang Song and Gu Huaixi also walked over, and they entered the elevator together.

Walking into the elevator, Guan Ningning let nature take its course. He was originally standing next to Tang Song, but Xu Jing'an saw this and stood between them.

So Guan Ningning leaned against the elevator wall, Xu Jing'an stood beside her, and Tang Song was on the other side of Xu Jing'an.

Guan Ningning didn't think much about it.

The driver had already driven the car to the door, and the three of them got into different cars. Guan Ningning was sitting in Xu Jing'an's car. She did not sit in the back seat with Xu Jing'an. She reached out to open the passenger door and got in.

Xu Jing'an frowned and said nothing.

The car drove away from the water and the sky, and after passing two intersections, Xu Jing'an suddenly said: "Pull over and stop."

You can park temporarily on the roadside. The driver hurriedly parked the car on the roadside. Guan Ningning turned around slowly and asked Xu Jing'an, "Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"

Xu Jing'an stared at her, "What do you think?"

Guan Ningning took a deep breath, moved to the back row, and sat next to him.

The driver quickly restarted the car.

Xu Jing'an pulled down the baffle to isolate the two of them's exclusive space.

He looked at Guan Ningning, "Are you unhappy?"

Guan Ningning forced a smile, "No, why did Mr. Xu say this?"

"He said no, and he kept a straight face without asking you to do anything. If he had asked you to do something, would you have just walked away now?"

Guan Ningning continued to laugh, "Did Mr. Xu have some misunderstanding about me? I didn't put on a straight face. Was my smile not sweet enough?"

"Fake enough."

"..."

Guan Ningning stopped talking. She didn't want to talk in the first place. On the one hand, she was in a bad mood, and on the other hand, she felt she had nothing to say.

Xu Jing'an reached out and took her over, "Okay, it's my fault. I made a fuss out of a molehill."

Guan Ningning didn't expect that he would suddenly apologize, so she could only smile and said nothing.

Xu Jing'an asked the driver to take her back first, and Guan Ningning reported an address. It was next door to the community where she lived, across the road.

On one side are new buildings, on the other are decades-old houses.

After Xu Jing'an's car left, she crossed the road, dragged her tired body back to her rental house, took a simple shower and went to sleep.

After the fashion week, Li Man is not so busy for the time being.

Fang Xuewei rested for a few days and then went back to work.

Li Man didn't ask about her and Ji Feibai's affairs again, as if nothing had happened, and her relationship with Fang Xuewei only maintained a smooth working relationship.

Li Man went to the tea room to pour water and met Zhang Ying.

Before walking on the catwalk last time, Zhang Ying strongly opposed her walking on the catwalk by herself. Li Man knew that she had always had objections to him, but she never said anything.

Zhang Ying is actually a little afraid of Li Man.

Li Man is a new employee and has a background, but her design ability is really strong, which makes her feel a sense of crisis. No one in the company is as popular as her.

Li Man took the initiative to greet Zhang Ying. After all, Zhang Ying was the team leader and her leader.

Zhang Ying glanced at Li Man.

That look was quite meaningful and somewhat disturbing. Li Man just frowned calmly.

After lunch break, Zhang Ying called Li Man and Fang Xuewei to her office.

Zhang Ying said: "You two come with me tonight to have a meal with the client." Zhang Ying focused on Li Man, "Especially Li Man, the company is now mainly promoting your design, and you must actively communicate with the client in order to Feedback and problems can be resolved promptly when they arise. This can help the company improve its products and services based on customer needs and feedback, and strengthen customer relationships."

Li Man originally wanted to find a reason not to have dinner with the client.

As a result, Zhang Ying talked about this and even mentioned her name. It was difficult for her to shirk. She could only take one step at a time and wait for the soldiers to cover up the water and the earth.
