Chapter 458

Xia Zheng Hai looked at Xiao Nanchen's confidence, and didn't want to hit his confidence.

He nodded, "Okay, I believe you."

"Then I'll go back to work."

"Nanchen." Xia Zheng Hai called him.

"Yeah?" Xiao Nanchen looked at him.

"Your mother..."

Xiao Nanchen looked at Xia Zheng Hai's hesitation.

He said, "My mom's mood hasn't been very good recently. Qi Qi's miscarriage has made her feel sad, so she went out to distract herself. As for things between you and my mom... I think it's better for you two to resolve it yourselves. If I get involved, it will only make things worse."

"Alright." Xia Zheng Hai didn't say much either.

Although recently, Xiao Qiang had clearly been avoiding him.

"Then I'll head out."

"Okay."

Xiao Nanchen walked out of Xia Zheng Hai's office leaning on a crutch.

He didn't actually know if his mother still wanted to be with Xia Zheng Hai or not.

Anyway, whatever decision she made, he would support her.

So.

He chose to stand idly by.

He walked into the elevator.

It was just lunch time now.

Xiao Nanchen went directly from the chairman's office on the top floor to the 3rd floor canteen by elevator.

The elevator was crowded.

From just him to gradually a packed elevator full of people.

He was squeezed to the very back.

Then he heard subtle gossiping voices from the crowd, "Did you guys see the news? Chairman Xiao and Manager Xia got divorced? I knew Manager Xia and Manager Nie were awfully close, I even caught them making out in the office before, I thought he was cheating on Chairman Xiao, didn't realize they had long divorced."

"Chairman Xiao is so handsome, I don't know why Manager Xia doesn't like him."

"He's handsome alright, but Chairman Xiao is crippled? Who would want to spend their whole life with a disabled person." A female colleague whispered, "If it was me, I'd rather choose Manager Nie too."

"Too realistic." Another female colleague lamented.

"Everyone's realistic...shhh."

The two suddenly stopped talking.

Because they saw the elevator open and two more people walked in.

One was Xia Qiqi, the other was Nie Ziming.

They worked on different floors.

Clearly Nie Ziming went to actively look for Xia Qiqi.

The two were still decent in public, just standing shoulder to shoulder.

Those two gossiping colleagues bumped into each other, seemingly reminding one another - look at Xia Qiqi and Nie Ziming.

Clearly with gossipy looks.

The 3rd floor arrived.

People in the elevator started leaving one after another.

But Xiao Nanchen suddenly didn't feel like going to the canteen anymore.

So he didn't get off, planning to ride the elevator back down.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close.

They were suddenly pried open by someone.

Xia Qiqi hurried inside.

As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Nanchen.

Her eyes paused briefly.

Slowly, she still walked in.

She had forgotten her phone.

Even during meals, without her phone she wouldn't feel safe.

She didn't expect to run into Xiao Nanchen.

Xiao Nanchen pressed his floor and said to the elevator buttons, "Which floor?"

Xia Qiqi was startled, and quickly said, "13th floor."

Xiao Nanchen pressed it for her.

The elevator went up.

The two maintained silence.

"Why aren't you going for lunch?" Xia Qiqi finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ordered takeout."

"Don't you not eat takeout?" Xia Qiqi frowned.

She couldn't recall ever seeing Xiao Nanchen eat takeout before.

This man was so disciplined it left one dumbfounded.

When dining out he would always eat very little.

"People change." Xiao Nanchen was very indifferent.

Xia Qiqi bit her lip.

She felt like those words had double meanings.

The elevator soon arrived at Xia Qiqi's floor and she walked out.

After she exited, Xiao Nanchen immediately pressed the button to close the doors.

When Xia Qiqi looked back.

The elevator had already left.

She took a deep breath.

Feeling it'd be better to keep her distance from Xiao Nanchen in the future.

......

After Xiao Nanchen returned to his office, he ordered takeout.

It was just a bowl of porridge.

He really didn't like eating stuff from outside much.

Usually when dining out, he would eat very little.

After ordering his meal, he called An Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, am I interrupting your lunch?"

"No." An Nuan had just finished Uncle Zhong's nutritious lunch box.

She was utterly stuffed.

"Did you find something major?"

"I was pressured by the Board today, they said I'm not qualified for this position."

"Then what?"

"I silenced them with a few words."

"So?"

"I've observed that Nie Ziming probably has a lot of supporters at Xiahui Bank."

"Already anticipated that." An Nuan was actually very calm, "As Xia Zheng Hai gets older, he manages a lot less company affairs compared to before, most things should be handled by Nie Ziming now. Nie Ziming is truly diligent and responsible at work after all. It's only natural that he has rallied so many people."

"After we get your issue taken care of, I'll start moving Xiahui Group's personnel."

"Good plan." An Nuan gave high praise.

"Just giving you an update on Xiahui's current situation, no other matters, I won't disturb your lunch break."

"Alright."

"Oh right." Xiao Nanchen suddenly recalled something, "I heard my cousin is working on a human creation project with you."

"......" Why bring up such an awkward matter.

"I wish you success."

Xiao Nanchen had also learned.

She said, "I'm hanging up now, bye."

"Bye."

After putting down her phone, An Nuan still couldn't help touching her own belly.

This time.

Would it succeed?!

She hadn't even thought about having kids before.

Yet now because of Ye Jinghuai she was so nervous, wishing it would happen immediately.

That fiend really easily swayed her.

......

Afternoon.

While An Nuan was working, Luo Si suddenly barged in very excitedly.

"What's going on?" An Nuan looked at her.

"Beers' private secretary just called, he wants to meet with you at the hotel he's staying at tomorrow morning at 10 to discuss international e-commerce projects." Luo Si was having trouble controlling her emotions, "President An, what did you say to Mr.Beers at the banquet yesterday that made him take the initiative to discuss cooperation with us today! This is so pleasantly surprising!"

An Nuan chuckled lightly.

She didn't actually feel things would be so simple.

She said, "Okay, help me call Tan Yufei over."

"Yes." Luo Si hurriedly nodded, but didn't forget to add, "President An, I truly admire you wholeheartedly."

"That's enough, flatterer."

"I'm not flattering, I genuinely admire you a lot." Luo Si said with utmost seriousness.

"I know." An Nuan waved her hand, "Go on out."

She didn't feel excited at all.

Luo Si admired An Nuan's composure even more.

Not only was she highly capable, she was also so modest.

A person like President An would find it hard not to succeed.

After a while.

Tan Yufei walked into An Nuan's office, "President An, you wanted to see me?"

An Nuan nodded, "Beers took the initiative to contact us about cooperation just now, what do you make of his intention?"
