Chapter 426 She Faints and Falls onto the Ground.

Gu Luan turns a little pale. Can Ning…really know it?

He clenches his hands. He feels his heart painful as if it is being twisted. He does everything for her. He has been liking her for so many years. He also saw her suffer a lot during the years. He doesn’t believe that Yi Yunrui can ever protect her!

Gu Luan grits his teeth. He says in a cold voice, “Mr. Su, we have an agreement between us. No matter what happens, I hope you may keep the secret between you and me.”

“Don’t worry.” Su Shen fixes his hair, “This the bottom line. I know it. However, Director Gu, next time, please do things more carefully. Or, I am afraid that I can’t but choose to protect myself first.”

Su Shen finishes his words and turns around to leave.

Looking at the waves coming one by one to clap the bank, Gu Luan freezes his eyes, at the deep of which there is a flame of fire on.

Su Shen signed the contract with him, but in the end, he gave in because he was afraid of Yi Yunrui. To Su Shen, is Gu Luan inferior to Yi Yunrui?

Is he inferior to Yi Yunrui?

Gu Luan forcefully punches on the bank. He grits his teeth. No. He can’t delay any longer!

Gu Luan takes out his phone. He dials a number. To keep calm? He can’t make it!

When Xia Ning wakes up, it is five in the morning.

She is woken up by hunger.

It is strange. Recently, she was often woken at midnight, by hunger.

She remembers that she ate a lot in the morning and took enough sugar. However, she often feels hungry at this time of the day. Hunger comes as punctually as an alarming clock rings at the scheduled time.

Xia Ning gets up. She feels very tired. She rubs her waist and her shoulders and goes to the kitchen to cook some noodles.

When she cooks the noodles, her stomach cries. When the noodles are almost done, an idea suddenly pops up in her brain. She wants to have hamburgers! She wants to have fried chicken and chips!

She is shocked by her idea!

She wants to have them very much. She has to have them as soon as possible!

Looking at the hot noodles, Xia Ning takes up the chopsticks and takes a mouthful of them. But she is not willing to have another mouthful of them at all. She consciously refuses to eat the noodles.

She wants to have hamburgers. She wants to have a steak.

Xia Ning hesitates for quite a while. In the end, she can’t resist the idea in her mind. She puts on her clothes and goes downstairs to drive her car.

KFC is 24 hours on. She can go to KFC.

She gets to the gate of KFC. When she gets off the car to open the door, she suddenly remembers the meat problem reported in Shanghai. She draws back her hand.

KFC has taken some measures, but she still feels a little worried about that.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning goes back to her car and drives to the market to buy beef and other stuff.

It is five now. She will buy the food and cook it herself. After she finishes it, she will be right on time to go to work.

She picks some pounds of Angus beef and packs it to go home. She gets home at five twenty.

It is easy to make the Angus steak. It only needs to be patted with the back of the knife and sauced with salt and black pepper. Then, it needs to be fried for a few minutes.

Xia Ning makes the sauce. Within ten minutes, the steak is ready.

It is about a pound of steak on the dish. It looks quite much. Xia Ning swallows her saliva. She takes up the knife and fork and starts to eat.

Surprisingly, she eats up all the steak.

Xia Ning strokes her stomach with satisfaction. She wants to lie down on the bed or take a bath.

After resting for a while, Xia Ning decides to have a bath. She closes her eyes when lying in the bathtub to enjoy the peace.

She lies there with her eyes closed. Half an hour passes.

It is still early. Xia Ning goes to the balcony to do some exercises.

She wonders how is Rui now. At this time, is Rui sleeping or doing anything?

She doesn’t know whether Rui is thinking of her.

She misses him very much.

When she gets to the company, it is about eight. She sees a lot of files on her desk. She unconsciously feels a little annoyed.

She doesn’t want to do anything, but going home to sleep…

However, the idea disappears very soon. If she doesn’t work, she will feel bored.

Recently, Zhou Mengyao arranges more and more work for her. She almost regards Xia Ning as her secretary, the assistant to the president of Junhao Group.

Someone knocks at the door. Xia Ning says, “Come in!”

It is An Zihao.

Xia Ning feels surprised, wondering why Supervisor An comes to her so early.

“Hello, Supervisor An.”

An Zihao nods, he sits down face to face with her, “The month is going to end. Every department is doing cleanup. You may get prepared to work overtime.

Hearing the words Work Overtime, Xia Ning feels headache. She has the desire to find a place to hide herself.

“Why? Do you feel tired?”

“Oh. No. Hum. I see.”

An Zihao mildly smiles, “Xia Ning, it is not easy to be in this post. You may drop the unnecessary and useless ideas. Focus on the things you are doing. You may come to me if there are any difficulties.”

“OK. Thank you, Supervisor An.”

“Don’t thank me.” An Zihao smiles mysteriously, “I will tell my secretary to bring the files to you. You may arrange them first and get ready to work overtime.”

Then, An Zihao turns to leave. After a few minutes, An Zihao’s assistant brings a big bunch of files to Xia Ning. She puts them all on Xia Ning’s desk.

Xia Ning is shocked to look at the files which make a small hill there.

God. How can she finish them all by herself…?

“Assistant Xia.” An Zihao’s assistant politely says, “Supervisor An told you to reply to him by the noon of tomorrow about these documents.”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. She nods, “I see.”

By the noon of tomorrow? God. Seemingly, she won’t have time to sleep tonight.

Then, Xia Ning makes some cups of espresso and gets ready to work the whole night.

When the coffee is ready and giving out steam beside her, Xia Ning puts down the file in her hand. She strokes her forehead, thinking about whether she should apply for one more assistant for Aunt Zhou.

She takes up a cup of espresso for a sip. But she has not swallowed it when she suddenly feels like vomiting. She puts down the coffee and runs to the toilet at once…

She throws up in the toilet for quite a while and then sits down in prostration. Seemingly, she had too much steak in the morning and she feels sick now.

At the time, her phone rings. It is Jiang Yongran.

Xia Ning feels confused. Didn’t Jiang Yongran leave C City? Why does he call her?

“Assistant Xia, are you free now?”

Xia Ning frowns, “General Manager Jiang, what do you call me for?”

“I am leaving C City soon. But I have got a document of the company with me. Time is tight. Is it convenient for you to come out to fetch it? We may meet in the coffee shop at the turning of the building downstairs. Is it OK?”

Xia Ning thinks for a while. She may go to buy some fruit after getting the document. She says, “OK. I will meet you there in ten minutes.”

She washes her face at once and briefly puts on makeup. Then, she fixes her clothes and leaves her office in a hurry.

The coffee shop is just around the corner. Xia Ning doesn’t drive her car. She goes there on foot. When she gets to the coffee shop, Jiang Yongran has been waiting for her there.

He arrives so soon?

Xia Ning feels surprised. She goes in and greets him, “Hello, General Manager Jiang.”

Jiang Yongran smiles, “I am on a long vacation. Don’t call me General Manager Jiang. Call me Yongran.”

At the time, the waiter sends them a cup of cappuccino and puts it in front of Xia Ning.

“Assistant Xia likes cappuccino. The coffee of this shop is fine. You may have a taste.”

Coffee again…

Xia Ning reluctantly puts on a smile. She takes it up for a sip.

When Xia Ning lowers her face, Jiang Yongran’s eyes gleam evilly.

Xia Ning slightly frowns. The coffee has too much milk in it. She puts down the coffee.

“You don’t like the taste of the coffee?” Jiang Yongran smiles to ask.

“Oh. No. But I had much coffee in my office just now. So, I feel a little sick in my stomach.”

“Oh. I see.” Jiang Yongran nods, “I am leaving for the airport soon. I will try to relax in the following days. I may think about my future.”

Xia Ning smiles but she says nothing. After all, indirectly, Jiang Yongran leaves because of her. She doesn’t know how Jiang Yongran thinks about her. So, it is inconvenient for her to give any comments.

She is afraid that she may speak something improper and enrage Jiang Yongran.

“Why don’t you say anything? Are you afraid of me?”

Xia Ning feels shocked. She shakes her head, “General Manager Jiang, you misunderstand. I am not. Where are you going for the holiday?”

“Aegean Sea.”

Xia Ning’s eyes brighten, “That is a good place.” She thinks she may go there with Rui someday.

Jiang Yongran mocks himself, “I am going there alone.”

“Oh? Alone?”

Jiang Yongran nods. He gives a sigh, “I go there to criticize myself. Some things should not go on.”

Then, Jiang Yongran glances at his watch and passes a document to Xia Ning, “Assistant Xia, this is a name list for you. When you come across some difficulties, you can try to reach these people. They may be able to help you.”

Xia Ning takes it over. She opens it and glances at it. She feels a little confused, “General Manager Jiang…”

“You may call me Yongran.” Jiang Yongran gives a sigh, “Do not take it wrong. I did do some bad things in the past. Now, I have the chance to make up for them. I may do it as much as possible.”

“General Manager Jiang, you have been in Junhao Group for so many years. Aunt Zhou makes the arrangement for your good. I am just temporarily here. So, General Manager Jiang, I hope you don’t misunderstand.”

Jiang Yongran smiles, “President Zhou has her arrangement. We may just obey that. It is late. I have to go. The plane doesn’t wait.”

Then, Jiang Yongran pays the bill and leaves the coffee shop.

Xia Ning looks at the name list in her hand. She purses her lips. An Zihao told her to reply to him by tomorrow noon. Now, she has got the name list with her. She hopes that it helps.

Thinking about his, Xia Ning puts the name list aside and goes out of the coffee shop.

When she walks slowly in the lane, she turns around to glance at the coffee shop. To be honest, the coffee it provides is not good. And it is located in this lane. It has no advantages in location or products. Xia Ning wonders what the owner of the coffee shop thinks about.

Suddenly, she feels dizzy. Her eyes are blurred. Xia Ning holds the wall at once.

She feels that she is weak and dizzy…

The things in front of her get vaguer and vaguer. Xia Ning feels shocked. She hasn’t had the time to cry for help when she fainted and fallen onto the ground…
