The meeting was going to be resumed and the leaders didn’t mention anymore this little accident made by the MN Group.
After all, Ji Nuan had offered to pay for the losses of the project.
Tens of million yuan was not a lot of money to the multinational, MN Group, neither to the leaders, so they just let it pass.
After the meeting, the leaders left one by one. Ji Nuan turned around, only to see that Mo Jingshen was gone.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before she said to Dane, “Thank you, Mr. Dane. I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t been strong enough to save me.”
Dane smiled at her. He had the height and white skin of a westerner, and his blue eyes smiled at her. “Don’t thank me. CEO Ji, you’re smart, so I’m sure you can see who asked me to come here and help you.”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak but couldn’t help glancing at the door of the lounge.
Dane walked out with her, both walking in the rear. When reaching the door, Dane said to her, “I became Shine Group’s signed designer three years ago. I lived in Los Angeles for some time, and I got very close to CEO Mo. At that time there was a woman called An Shuyan beside him. Do you know this Secretary An, Miss Ji?”
Ji Nuan paused and turned to look at Dane.
“An Shuyan was obviously in love with CEO Mo, and Chairman Mo had been trying to fix them up. I thought An Shuyan was a very excellent woman and had thought that the two of them would make a couple,” Dane said with a smile. “After all, I can’t think of any woman worthy of a man like him, or perhaps no woman worthy of him at all.”
“But I didn’t expect for An Shuyan to marry another man. I heard she did it because she was rejected by CEO Mo over and over again. No matter what she said or did, she would not get any response from him. In the end, she resigned from Shine Group and left Los Angeles in desperation. But fortunately, she is a very excellent woman. After she turned her eyes to other men, she met the right person.”
Listening to Dane, Ji Nuan knew that he wanted to tell her something, so she didn’t interrupt him.
“At that time, I was wondering what kind of a woman will move CEO Mo if a woman as excellent as An Shuyan couldn’t.”
Hearing his words, Ji Nuan, with mixed feelings, looked at the people passing by the lounge. Mo Jingshen was not among them. A myriad of thoughts crowded into her mind, but she remained calm and no one could tell what she was thinking.
Dane looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
An excellent woman could not move Mo Jingshen.
Then, who could move him?
Seeing the deep meaning in Dane’s eyes, Ji Nuan smiled, raised her hand and pushed her fingers slowly into her hair. She pushed her hair aside and said indifferently, “Mr. Dane, thank you again for your help today. I hope you won’t refuse to cooperate with us in the future. After all, with your designing talent, it would be a pity if you only serve Shine Group.”
Dane immediately laughed.
He felt it was very funny.
He had just told her how much Mr. Mo loved her, but the woman called Ji Nuan was trying to poach him from Mr. Mo.
Interesting.
Dane couldn’t help laughing.

Back in the meeting room, Ji Nuan was much more relaxed. After all, the big problem that had been haunting her all day had been solved.
The meeting to discuss the stadium project continued, but it was drawing to a close. She wasn’t really interested in what was going on around the table between the leaders. She looked away from the notes in her hand and looked around casually.
Before she knew it, she was looking to the side at Mo Jingshen.
There was no expression in Mo Jingshen’s face, but his eyes, when they caught her gaze, were dark and deep and full of faint smiles.
She remembered what Dane had said. During his three years in the United States, An Shuyan had been trying to get close to him, but she never got any response.
When Ji Nuan remembered what happened at Ao Lan International these few days, her cheeks bulged slightly, and she averted her gaze and forced her attention back to the meeting.
When the meeting was over, Ji Nuan got up and left the town hall as fast as she could and headed back to the west side of the city.

The next afternoon, Ji Nuan had a dull pain in her stomach because her period was coming. She didn’t have much work in the afternoon, so she just went straight back to Yuehu Bay.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Ji Nuan was clearing up the computer and a few documents she had brought back before in her study when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
She didn’t think much and picked up the call.
She put her laptop aside as she said, “Hello.”
The other side of the line was silent for several seconds
“Hello?” Ji Nuan thought the signal was bad and asked again, “Hello, who is it?”
The other party still remained silent.
Ji Nuan looked at the phone and saw it was a strange number. She frowned and was about to hang up
At this time, the other side of the line suddenly spoke.
“Miss Ji.”
Ji Nuan’s hand paused. This voice was strange to her. She paused and then tried to think about who was calling her. She thought for quite a while but still couldn’t think who this man was although this voice was familiar to her.
The other party repeated, “Miss Ji, am I disturbing you?”
Ji Nuan put down the documents and laptop in her hands, asking flatly, “Who are you?”
The other party could tell the coldness and precaution in her words. He sighed. “I’m Xiao Luye’s father.”
With that, he paused. His voice that was already cold and solemn sounded gentle, patient and somewhat tentative. As if he was afraid to scare her, he asked slowly and kindly, “Miss Ji, do you have time?”
Ji Nuan didn’t speak. She was really surprised that Chairman Xiao would call her. She had never heard that the Chairman of Ling Xiao Group was so approachable.
Thinking of the things she had suspected, she asked, “Mr. Xiao, how did you get my number?”
“Miss Ji, you’re the CEO of MN Group. It’s not hard to find your number. Besides, Xiao Luye has your number.” Mr. Xiao didn’t explain much but just asked, “Do you have time to have dinner with me…?”
