An Ran lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The number that kept appearing on the screen was the most recent communication she had with him in the past five years.
Before she could experience the deep affection of that hug, she was woken up by the merciless reality. She was no longer the innocent and naive little broadcaster from back then. She was Qiao Xiyan, the president of ZGN China, an iron-fisted woman who had no love and stayed away from men.
The phone rang for nearly an hour.
She simply muted it.
She washed up briefly, ate breakfast, put on light makeup, and wore a white suit and dress to the office on the fifth floor.
"President Qiao, Mr. Nangong Wan, the executive of the Nangong Group, has been waiting at the front desk to see you since early in the morning.”
"Say I'm not here."
"Alright."
"The Nangong Corporation has always been the leader of the business circle in T City.”Baili Wuya stopped Ella." I'll go."”
Baili Wuya came to the front desk on the first floor of ZGN and saw a lonely and cold man. He was tall and thin, with a sharp outline that was like a knife carving. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had a handsome face. His long and narrow peach blossom eyes no longer had the light of the past, only a deep coldness.
He stood there, exuding the arrogance and nobility of a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
Why did this face look so similar to Xiao Mo?
" Mr. Nangong…" Baili Wuya stepped forward with a smile.
"Ask her to come see me." He was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with determination.
Baili Wuya had already guessed what was going on. In an instant, he felt a strong sense of inferiority.
For the past five years, she had been working hard in a foreign country with her child and rejected all men. How much love did she need to support her until now?
When he saw the man in front of him, he understood.
The more heartless she was to herself, the more affectionate she was to the man in front of her.
Baili Wuya found An Ran again." He won't leave until he sees you.”
"Then let him wait." There was a bone-piercing chill in her words.
"Julie, is he Xiao Mo's father?”he asked carefully.
"No." She was very straightforward.
Baili Wuya saw that she was a little agitated and quickly left.
An Ran adjusted her mood and returned to work.
At noon, the corridor outside was noisy.
"Sir, you can't go in without an appointment-"
Then, her office door was knocked open.
Nangong Wan entered with a dark expression.
"President Qiao, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him.”The security guard apologized.
"It's okay. Go do your work." She gestured for the security guard to leave.
She looked coldly at Nangong Wan, who was staring at her closely." Mr. Nangong, we don't seem to have any work interactions." You came to ZGN so early in the morning, could it be that you have the intention to cooperate?”
"Anan." His voice was dry and still carried a hint of laziness." Stop pretending.”
Her face was exquisite, and her figure was more and more curvy. Her waist-length curly black hair was loosely tied behind her head. Not only was she capable and intellectual, but she also added a little charm and maturity.
"Even if you wear a mask, I can still recognize you.”He kicked the door open and pushed her against the wall.
"Anan, since you don't want to admit it, let your body tell me the answer.”
His face pressed against hers, and she could not help but tremble slightly. The long-lost ecstasy was about to erupt from her bones.
She wanted to push him away, but her entire body was powerless.
"You lecher, get lost!" She suddenly found her remaining rationality.
Once his lips touched hers, he could not move them away.
The familiar fragrance assaulted his senses. She was his An An, his wife.
He was eager to soothe the heat that was bursting out of his body. His hands caressed her soft waist and kissed her ears." An An."”
She was not An 'an, she was Qiao Xiyan!
This thought flashed across her mind.
She bit down hard on his lips.
" You-" His enthusiasm was instantly reduced, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth." You're so ruthless."”
Mr. Nangong, you've crossed the line." She tidied her clothes and opened the office door.
Nangong Wan spat out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were like a soul-digging knife as she stared at her.
"How long are you going to keep doing this?”
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. In the future, if it's business, I'll welcome you at any time. If it's like this again, then we shouldn't meet.”
His burning gaze continued to stare at her for a long time before he said," Then let's talk about work. As the shareholder of Si 'an TV Station, I'll inform President Qiao that we have the intention to cooperate. I'll get my secretary to send the details to your email.”
"Sure. I'll list out the details later. I still have a meeting to attend. I'll reply to the cooperation before 4 pm. Mister Nangong can leave now."
His face was dark the entire time as he strode past her.
At this moment, she was a little absent-minded. She really wanted to make him stay, but she couldn't.
She quickly gathered the heads of the various departments to discuss the cooperation. Then, she asked her secretary to send ZGN's requirements over. Si 'an TV Station's feedback was that ZGN's requirements were too harsh.
The cooperation between the two sides was frozen.
An Ran and Baili Wuya subconsciously wanted to work with Si 'an because Si' an TV Station had been successful after three years of operation. There were many things that ZGN needed to learn from them.
After waiting for two days, Anran still didn't receive any reassuring news about the cooperation.
Baili Wuya couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately called Nangong Wan as the second-in-command of the ZGN headquarters and requested for a negotiation.
Yvette replied readily," Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the conference room on the top floor of the Siris Hotel."
Hearing the name Sirius, An Ran felt even more frustrated.
That was the place where she had first met him. A strange combination of factors in Siris had caused their fates to be intertwined.
"I'll go tomorrow." Baili Wuya could see her uneasiness.
"I'll go." Her heart was set.
The autumn sky in T City was exceptionally clean. The cool wind blew the fiery maple leaves, making the autumn atmosphere even more intense.
When she and her subordinates arrived at the meeting room, Nangong Wan and her team were already waiting.
After a round of small talk.
Nangong Wan's face was cold as she stared at An Ran, who was sitting across the table from him.
"We can start now." An Ran ignored his burning gaze.
"I won't say anything high-sounding. The biggest difference between us is the cooperation project. We only want to collaborate on two channels 'programs. You want to collaborate on all channels.”An Ran went straight to the point." Please give your reasons.”
"My TV station is purely for fun. No matter how strong your ZGN brand is, I won't be interested. When you first arrived in T City, you should have realized that many things here are completely different from the United States. Time is money is your philosophy. Working with Yvette can shorten your exploration time. That's my style. Either I sincerely open the door to cooperate, or there's nothing to talk about!”Nangong Wan sneered. She was bloodthirsty and ruthless.
" If ZGN's channels are open to cooperation with Yvette, it will be difficult for them to maintain their style. They will definitely be branded by you. I reject this topic.”An Ran's eyes exchanged fire with his.
"Then there's no room for discussion." He stared at her.
He shook his head." You guys are so calculative. You want to hitch a ride with Yvette, but you don't want to reveal everything.”
He had seen through An Ran's plan.
Nangong Wan felt as if her heart had been plunged into an ice cellar. He had proposed such harsh conditions for cooperation because he wanted to meet her more often. She was really heartless.
He lit a cigarette in loneliness.
Was their past love so fragile?
He put out the cigarette in his hand." Lili, inform Qiao Xiyan immediately. I agree to their proposal."”
" Since we're sitting at the negotiating table again, it means that our first proposal has passed. Now, let's move on to the second proposal-" An Ran began to explain in an orderly manner.
Nangong Wan silently agreed.
Seeing that he had given in, Anran was still unwilling to give up. She suggested again,"We can't split the advertisement 50 - 50. We want 60%, and you get 40%.”
Nangong Wan smiled." I promise."”
Everyone gasped.
This result was exactly what An Ran had expected.
" I've agreed to all of your overbearing terms. Remember, I didn't succumb to the golden signboard of ZGN, but to take a few more glances at your beautiful President Qiao Xiyan. She looks very much like my wife who left me five years ago. That's all."
An Ran lowered her eyes.
"Your ZGN has won a great victory.”Nangong Wan shouted.
"Alright, I'll do it. I'll immediately arrange for someone to locate the place where President Nangong wants to go."”
An Ran was also very straightforward.
"Let's do it here. This is a good place to miss.”His tone was leisurely, with a hint of sourness and mockery.
Lunch was very sumptuous, but An Ran tasted like wax.
Nangong Wan didn't speak much, but her eyes followed An Ran.
An Ran raised her glass." I'll replace wine with tea to toast everyone here. Happy cooperation."”
Everyone picked up their cups and stood up.
Nangong Wan sat alone, staring at the woman sitting across the table from him. She elegantly raised her wine glass and said lazily," It's a pleasure working with you."”。#
