All the way back from the airport to the urban area of Haicheng, after not seeing each other for years, Ji Nuan looked at the familiar buildings on the roadside. He didn't expect that more than three years had passed so quickly, but nothing in Haicheng seemed to have changed. .
It's like she never left.
"Are you sure you don't want me to take you back to your place?" Mr. Vinse sat in the car and looked at Ji Nuan, who was always looking out the car window quietly.
"No, I'll go back to the company first."
"The studio you moved to three years ago has now become an old location. The new office building is not in the city center, but in the west area of the city. It is far away from the place where you lived before. Where do you live? Do you want to change too?"
Ji Nuan did intend to move when she came back. She didn't answer. She looked at the scenery outside the car window. After a while, she said, "I'm not sure yet. It depends on the situation."
"If you need anything, you can always come to me."
"I didn't bother you less when I was in London. Now that I'm back in Haicheng, I have quite a few friends and relatives here. If I can help you, Mr. Vinse, I'll do my best to trouble you as little as possible. Now I'm just a few There are small things that need to be taken care of, and others in the company will be done by people in the company, so I don’t have anything to help with.”
Mr. Vinse didn't force it, but seeing that Ji Nuan was wearing a little less and the air conditioner in the car was turned on too much, he sternly ordered: "Turn down the air conditioner."
The secretary sitting in the passenger seat in front quickly raised his hand and turned off the air conditioner halfway.
Ji Nuan, however, acted as if he didn't hear anything and it had nothing to do with him. He glanced at the time and said, "It will take at least forty minutes from here to Chengxi District. It's too far away from your BGY company. I can just get off here. "
"It's okay. I'll send you there first."
Ji Nuan couldn't resist him, so she simply stopped talking, closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair, and stopped participating in any topics.
…
After arriving in Chengxi District, the Mercedes-Benz drove to the main entrance of the Haicheng Company Building of the China Department of MN Group.
Mr. Vinse was about to raise his hand to pat Ji Nuan awake, but before his hand touched her, Ji Nuan had already opened his eyes.
The woman in the red dress had obviously slept for forty minutes, but the moment she opened her eyes, Mr. Vinse could tell that she had not slept at all.
"arrive."
"Thanks."
Ji Nuan was about to get out of the car when Mr. Vinse suddenly held her hand and put a velvet box into her hand.
Ji Nuan silently glanced at the velvet box in her hand, then raised her eyes to look at him: "What is this?"
"It's a gift for you to return home."
Ji Nuan lightly curled her lower lip, but didn't even open it. She directly put the box back into his hand: "I accept the kindness of welcoming me back to the country, but forget it as a gift."
"It's just a bracelet." Mr. Vinse looked at her clean and white wrist: "You haven't worn any jewelry these years, it's just a bracelet, and it has no special meaning. Why don't you dare to accept it?"
"The provocation method is of no use to me. If this were a shell bracelet that you bought for a few dollars when you went to the beach for vacation, Mr. Vinse, I might be able to accept it as a souvenir, but this kind is too expensive, and I have no reason to accept it.”
There is no need to open it at all. You can only see the small logo on the box and know that it is a top international jewelry brand. A piece of silver jewelry or crystal jewelry costs hundreds of thousands. Even though the two of them are worth a lot, even if it is just a simple A gift, this is not something she can accept casually.
Seeing that Ji Nuan was determined, Mr. Vinse said no more and put the box on the seat with a faint smile: "Okay, don't force it. If you don't like it, I won't give it to you later."
She clearly knew Mr. Vinse's feelings for her, and based on Ji Nuan's original temperament, she would generally not allow a man who had inappropriate thoughts about her to stay with her for too long or become her friend.
As Xia Tian said, her personality seems to have changed a lot, but the arrogant personality she had when she was a teenager is still hidden in her bones, and she doesn't even care about men she doesn't like. She has no tolerance, and all her suitors are pushed away by her as if they were trash, and she won't give them the slightest chance.
But Mr. Vinse knows how to measure things, he is too gentleman and he respects her too much. He knows how to advance and retreat, and he will never do anything to embarrass her.
As time went by, this person had appeared for a long time, and he had indeed helped her several times in London. This person could not be pushed away.
friend? That's right.
Ji Nuan's cell phone rang just at this moment: "Sorry, I'll answer the phone."
Mr. Vinse didn't say anything. When Ji Nuan answered the phone, he got out of the car first and asked his secretary to take down her suitcase. Then when he saw Ji Nuan put down the phone a few minutes later, he very gentlemanly helped her open the back door and smiled. : "Miss Ji, please."
Ji Nuan put her phone back into her bag, nodded politely to Mr. Vinse and got out of the car, declining Mr. Vinse's request to take her back to the building directly.
Until their car drove away, Ji Nuan walked into the office building with her suitcase. Although she had not been in Haicheng in the past few years, her identity as the president of MN Group was enough for the security guards and staff in front of the door to recognize her. The journey was smooth and no one dared to stop it.
As soon as I walked in, I saw two tall, fat men making a lot of noise at the front desk, throwing things and smashing cups. The two front desk ladies standing in the front desk work area were nervously holding the Make a call on the landline.
Ji Nuan only glanced over there, and heard from a distance one of the men who was smashing things saying: "Let your person in charge come out. It was obviously a piece of land that we went to bid for first. Why did it come to your MN Group overnight?" In the name of the MN Group, it has become very popular in the domestic real estate industry in the past two years. You even dare to rob our Hengcheng land, right? You are brave enough!"
"Sir, gentlemen, please don't be impulsive. This building is so high. It takes a while for a normal person to take the elevator down from the office. Besides, you saw it at the bidding meeting last time. Our Mr. Xia is pregnant. Even if we get off the elevator, Lou also has to wait and don’t break things..."
After putting down the phone, the lady at the front desk looked at the two tall men with a frightened and nervous expression. She didn't dare to stretch her hands forward, but she still treated them carefully to avoid breaking anything else.
"What's wrong with being pregnant? If you're pregnant, you can rob our Hengcheng land? You've taken all the net profits from that land and treated us as bosses to make ends meet? You can grab the land we negotiated as soon as you want. It's really This is outrageous, do you really think that the real estate industry in Haicheng belongs to you, MN?"
As he said that, one of the men directly raised his foot and kicked the marble cabinet at the front desk hard, making a huge sound!
